Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael C Ruppert

C-Realm Vault Episode 89 — originally released April 20, 2014This episode, recorded on KMO's 46th birthday two weeks after the suicide of Michael C. Ruppert, is one of the clearest early documents of KMO's departure from the Peak Oil collapse milieu — and one of the most personally candid things he ever put on tape.After closing out a conversation with Ilargi of the Automatic Earth on European sovereign debt and the student loan crisis, KMO turns to Ruppert's death. He begins with his own history — his father's suicide in 1998, the damage it did to his family — before recounting his single unpleasant encounter with Ruppert, who contacted him in 2010 proposing an interview and then erupted at a minor miscommunication.The real subject of the episode, though, is Guy McPherson. KMO identifies the Ruppert-McPherson relationship as a case study in how collapse figures amplify one another's certainty, flatten complex adaptive systems into simple doom trajectories, and build audiences among people too angry at genuine injustice to scrutinize the claims being made on their behalf. He names this — explicitly — as the creation of a death cult.For listeners of the Getting Over Collapse project: this is the episode where the vocabulary was already in place. The analysis developed across subsequent years, but the core diagnosis is here, in real time, twelve years before KMO sat down to write the book.

A fine detail of the latest budget proposal by President Donald Trump is that it will defund the federal agency responsible for compensating first responders to the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attack who were adversely effected by the dust and degrees at Ground Zero in New York. The story of 9/11's "Deadly Dust", however, goes much deeper and the lives it has damaged reaches far beyond the heroic first responders of that fateful September day. Joining us on this edition of Parallax Views to discuss the full story of 9/11's Deadly Dust is Jenna Orkin, who has tirelessly pursued the saga as a journalist, activist, and concerned parent in the vicinity of Ground Zero since its earliest stages. Jenna Orkin We begin by discussing how Jenna became involved in activism related to 9/11's deadly dust. From there we delve into a number of different areas including the EPA's assurances that "the air is safe to breathe" after 9/11 and the conflicts of interest that existed with then EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman. Jenna and I dive deep into the asbestos and toxins that were inhalable throughout New York in the aftermath of 9/11 and the lives adversely affected by it, including schoolchildren. We also discuss how the media covered the story initially and how the saga of 9/11's deadly dust has changed since those days. Additionally, Jenna tells us about her work with investigative journalist Michael C. Ruppert, the 5th anniversary of whose death will occur on April 13th, and how Ruppert's work on 9/11, peak oil, Wall Street, and energy issues ties into not only Jenna's writings on the 9/11 deadly dust but also a broader picture of our world and where it is headed.

Activist Cinema Episode 9 - Collapse (2009) was directed by Chris Smith and is essentially a monologue film.  There haven't been too many of these kinds of film made, but within this small sub-genre of films, Collapse is one of the best.  We choose this film as a nice end cap to the We're So Fucked series of episodes as most of the ideas and sentiments from that series are well represented in this documentary about the late, great Michael C. Ruppert. [Click to Listen]
