"DON’T PAINT ME WITH THE 9-11 TRUTH BRUSH"

Well look who just crawled out from under a rock to spew contempt at the movement he abandoned 5 years ago when it was less than one tenth the size it is now. In a missive directed at the Real 9/11 Truth Movment - i.e. those who are A) focusing on the most credible scientific hard evidence, and B) working towards the fullest possible accounting of the 9/11 attacks - MCR re-affirms his "complete and unequivocal divorce" from the "9-11 Truth Movement" first announced in 2004 just as the Real Truth Movement first began to throw off the chains of its LIHOP beginnings, and repeats his assertion that "9/11 is a dead issue." Along with this, he tells some outrageous lies or absurdities about both the Pentagon witness evidence as well as the WTC demolition evidence. For example, he claims that "there were hundreds of independent eyewitnesses on I-395 who saw an airliner hit the Pentagon." In fact, the most generous interpretation one can make of the total number of eyewitnesses from unverified and unconfirmed media-mined snippits is potentially 103 from all locations, not just I-395!. Only a few eyewitnesses from I-395 are alleged to been recorded. He repeats, "I have been convinced for a long time now that an airliner did, in fact, strike the building." He equivocates on the CD evidence but ultimately dismisses it as useless: "Some of the work done on building collapse – especially as it pertains to WTC7 -- is both compelling and well-founded. Some is not. But what is credible would never pass the admissibility test; and that’s on the assumption that a court with jurisdiction would ever try the case."

He also addresses his past lies about claiming to be a detective for the LAPD by backtracking: "At the time of my resignation in late 1978 I was...certified for promotion to Detective" Translation: "Ok, I admit, I was lying my ass off about being a LAPD Detective."

Sorry Mike that your Dream of completely smothering the truth movement with your LIHOPpy crap went up in flames. I know how depressed and frustrated you must feel that you have failed so miserably with your Peak Oil and LIHOP BS and can only throw your toys out of the pram to keep getting attention. Good riddance to you. Please don't let the door hit you on the fanny on the way out...Oh, I forgot, you already quit the movement and lost all credibility several years ago and have exposed yourself as nothing but a cheap liar and sensationalistic BS artist. Good luck with your new CoLLapse movie that will finally wake people up about the coming Peak Oil Armageddon (wait, I thought you said that would happen in 2006). Well, if nothing else, maybe it will at least make your friends' Goldman Sacks and JP Morgan stocks (as well as your gold/silver broker friends' investments) bump up as the Wall Street banking conglomerates have cornered the oil market while you and your buddies scream "Peak Oil is coming! Peak Oil is coming!" to drive up the price back up to $100 per barrel in the middle of a deep recession. Good job helping to enrich Wall Street at our expense.

DON’T PAINT ME WITH THE 9-11 TRUTH BRUSH
Official Statement on 9-11

by

Michael C. Ruppert

November 2, 2009 – We have all seen the amazing progress of CoLLapse. The film has exceeded all of my expectations thanks to Chris Smith and Kate Noble of Bluemark Films. It is making people hungry for answers to all the right questions. And starting this Thursday CoLLapse opens for one-week runs in 12 cities in the US and Canada.

There is something important that needs to be addressed now and I am the only one to do it.

More than five years ago I completely and unequivocally divorced myself from the 9-11 Truth Movement. I did that because it had been co-opted and hijacked by people offering arguments and theories about 9-11 that were deeply flawed and absolutely inadmissible in a court of law. I addressed those flaws specifically in a 2003 essay about why physical evidence claims would go nowhere and would be used to discredit anyone who challenged the official Bush Administration version of events.

In many radio interviews and lectures throughout 2004-2006 I also said unequivocally that I was no longer affiliated with the 9-11 Truth movement because I saw that it would be publicly discredited as it has deservedly been. The current 9-11 Truth movement is indeed a circus. “Crossing the Rubicon” IS admissible in court and it has nothing to do with flawed, self-destructing and unnecessary arguments that are the tent poles of the 9-11 “movement”. I left that tent a long time ago.

I also divorced myself from the 9-11 as an issue because the window to achieve political and legal change had closed. The collapse of industrial civilization trumps 9-11. 9-11 is a dead issue. -- I cannot say it more clearly than this. Our limited energy must be focused on the future. One of my trademark lines has always been, “Nothing matters to me except for change in the political landscape.” – We can achieve that with CoLLapse.

FOR THE RECORD, Although I have discussed it I have never endorsed or used the building demolition theory as an argument. I have put this in writing too many times. There was/is no physical evidence (however compelling) that would be admissible in a court of law; and what reported evidence exists is useless because a legal chain of custody is not provable. Chain of custody is one of the first tests of admissibility. Some of the work done on building collapse – especially as it pertains to WTC7 -- is both compelling and well-founded. Some is not. But what is credible would never pass the admissibility test; and that’s on the assumption that a court with jurisdiction would ever try the case.

FOR THE RECORD Although at first I was very skeptical based on the energy around certain books that became popular in 2002-2003, I later found out that there were hundreds of independent eyewitnesses on I-395 who saw an airliner hit the Pentagon. In a court of law their testimony could never be overcome by videotapes or interpretations that have no proof of authenticity. That testimony could never be negated by speculation or expert opinion. And I have been convinced for a long time now that an airliner did, in fact, strike the building.

“Crossing the Rubicon” and its unanswered questions about 9-11 has never been remotely examined or discussed by mainstream media or the United States government. While the United States government has spent a lot of time and money easily debunking the claims of the so-called 9-11 Truth movement; and while the History Channel and Popular Mechanics went to great effort to debunk the 9-11 Truth movement; all that the press and the government have done with “Crossing the Rubicon” is to ignore it.

I stepped away from the Babel of 9-11 Truth more than five years ago. If the mainstream press wants to take me on over a book I wrote and which remains unchallenged after five years then I am and always have been prepared (and eager) for that. That book has sold around 100,000 copies and is in the Harvard Business School library. It has 1,000 footnotes; none of which have ever been challenged..

NOTE TO THE NY TIMES AND ALL MAINSTREAM PRESS: In a recent review of CoLLapse by the Times, the reviewer made reference to a negative article written about me by David Corn for “The Nation” magazine in 2003. In that article Corn maliciously libeled me by writing that I had been fired by LAPD as a mental case. That was untrue. At the time of my resignation in late 1978 I was both certified for promotion to Detective and earning the highest rating reports possible. I had no disciplinary actions (pending or prior) of any kind. That was only one of the lies that David Corn wrote and The Nation published.

The next question the press will ask is “Why didn’t you sue?” The record shows that from 2004 until the present day I have been constantly involved in legal battles on top of the work of book-writing and running From The Wilderness until its demise in 2006. I have never lost. The Oregon appeal is far from over. Does anyone ever consider the toll such legal battles take? The money, the time, the energy? I can only fight so many fights at a time and the reason why small and unethical people like David Corn get away with things like this is because they know that. But the great brutality of mainstream media is that it will dredge up inaccurate stories without checking and refer to them as truth in order to discredit anyone who opposes corporate-controlled press in this country.

Any journalist is required to do fact-checking before going to press. I left a record of between two and three million words. It is indexed, catalogued and out there for anyone to read. Sooner or later someone is going to have to read it.

And for all who cannot tell the difference between me and Alex Jones I heartily encourage you to stay with him and not associate yourself with me or my work in any way. That is where you belong.

The following is either from one of MCR's handlers or fellow agents, or, an example of how the brain of an MCR fan can be turned to silly puddy:

I am glad you have clarified this, Michael. There is a lot of nonsense churning around out there including ridiculous theories concerning the so-called deliberate demolition theory, and those who say "the Jews did it". Not only do these theories obscure the actual reality of this incident, but they also give ammo to those quarters and lobbies which deliberately want to obfuscate this issue, like some Islamic fundamentalist groups. The fact that Bin Laden owned these attacks years ago doesn't deter their likes from spouting such nonsense, which would even make children laugh. Of course, that does not detract from the matter that Bin Laden was a former CIA "asset" (who later went sour), and his family still has large and camouflaged holdings in the USA and its capitalist world. It doesn't detract either from the fact that the USA-Kazai combine is still keeping up a hearty opium-heroin trade. Pakistan's ISI is still anxiously doing the bidding of its masters in Washington, down to the last comma. If one faction of Uncle Sam's global dogpacks (Al-Qaeda) rebelled and bit their master, it doesn't mean all have.
