Mike Ruppert to speak in Eugene 5/31 and Portland 6/2!
I saw Mike Ruppert in 2002 in Eugene. He laid out the 9/11 benefactor structure as I sat spellbound for nearly 3 hours. (And coming from a guy with mild ADD, that's saying something!) He is a hell of a speaker, and very knowledgeable. His book Crossing the Rubicon is out now. I'll be there in Eugene on Tuesday. Hope to see you all!

2. Interview with Ruppert published in the Eugene Weekly
How does peak oil relate to our military?

The United States has been aware of peak oil for quite a long time, and peak oil is on us now. The attacks of 9/11, which I have shown were facilitated by the U.S. government, and all subsequent U.S. military deployments have been engineered with one specific goal: to control the last remaining oil reserves on the planet.

Tell me what you think happened on 9/11.

It's very clear that the U.S. government, under the control of Vice President Richard Cheney, had scheduled five conflicting war games for the morning of Sept. 11, which moved a substantial number of the U.S. fighter response forces out of the region so that they could not respond. The so-called hijackers were, in effect, agents working for the U.S. government. Al Qaeda had been co-opted to perpetrate the attack, which then gave the U.S. government the pretext for all the military adventurism and occupation that has taken place since.

Why do you think the mainstream media parroted the Bush administration's version of events?

In some cases, the mainstream media did not, because there were many stories coming out of the mainstream media that flatly contradicted the Bush administration's line of events on 9-11. But the mainstream media failed to acknowledge, recognize, address or even pursue these glaring inconsistencies, and the same holds true for the so-called 9-11 Independent Commission report, which was nothing more than a cover-up, a fabrication, a packet full of very demonstrable lies.

Why does this administration cling so desperately to oil when alternative energy sources are available?

There is no replacement for what hydrocarbon energy does for human life on this planet. Until you change the way money works, you cannot change the way energy is used. We live in an economic paradigm that requires infinite economic growth, and all economic growth requires energy. So there are no solutions. And rather than address the problem sanely, the United States government has just taken a position of, 'We will take whatever we need to take, wherever we need to take it — damn the world, full speed ahead — to protect our way of life.' The U.S. has committed to a bitter, bloody war to the end to control oil. All over the planet, the world is in full revolt because where the U.S. takes oil, other economies suffer.

3. Ruppert has it exactly correct.
I might add that all of the moves on the judiciary are to pack the courts and remove all health care and pensions. They also want social security to go away. No pensions at all.

I think that they want to start a die-off in this country. They want to lower the length of the average lifetime, thus the abortion issue. Die early, no pension.

All the cards are on the table. You just have to look at them.
