Michael Craig Ruppert, a remarkable individual, was born on February 3, 1951, and left an indelible mark on the world until his passing on April 13, 2014. Prior to his untimely death, Ruppert led a multifaceted career as an author, former Los Angeles Police Department officer, investigative journalist, and peak oil theorist.
For nearly a decade, Ruppert served as the publisher and editor of From The Wilderness, a newsletter and website that explored a wide range of topics, including international politics, the Central Intelligence Agency, peak oil, civil liberties, drug-related issues, economics, corruption, and alternative theories surrounding the September 11 attacks. His work was instrumental in shedding light on various critical issues and sparking important conversations.
Ruppert's literary contributions include the book "Crossing The Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil," which garnered significant attention and acclaim. Additionally, he was the subject of the 2009 documentary film "Collapse," further cementing his status as a prominent figure in the world of investigative journalism.
Tragically, Ruppert's life was cut short when he took his own life on April 13, 2014, and his body was discovered in his home in Napa County, California. His legacy, however, lives on through his remarkable body of work and the impact he had on the world of journalism and beyond.
