I have mixed feelings about Mike Ruppert as we used to be friends.(past tense)
Mike and I both were "basically" on the same page, except I was the only one at that time(1995 and on..) that was currently a U.S. Customs official and "openly" exposing corruption within my own border agency and I can attest to the fact that I have personally seen CIA personnel and identified them by looking at their credentials at the San Ysidro Border while I was in charge of an operation in Secondary.(Early to mid 90's) All due respect to Mike and his confrontation with Deutsch of the CIA.
Do to the extensive background and experiences I have, I am forced to leave out a lot of information. I am also worried and a little bit paranoid due to "safety" reasons as well. I was recently sen to prison and it was no fun either. More death threats, etc...I was actually where Noriega was in Miami before they transferred him. They shipped me all over to keep me quiet. Another story to itself. I still haven't got my computer back yet...
I met with Mike on several occasions as I was invited to "assist" and/or participate with him at the "Crack The CIA" coalition with Congresswoman Maxine Waters(a waste of time) Ed Asner, Gary Webb(now deceased due to "alleged" suicide by revolver with "2" shots to the head) Ruppert was very upset over that as I was, but Mike lost his cool with me for no reason. He still owes me an apology. Mike seemed to be advanced in certain information and then finally went off on some other tangent. Special note: Gary Webb was a very nice guy, but controlled by Ruppert in my opinion and was "scared to death" literally shaking when I saw him with Maxine Waters.
In my mind, Mike was still a "rookie" with less than 5 years on the L.A.P.D. but still basically a good man trying to do an impossible job. That is just one good reason why us in law enforcement (or out) need the help of others.
I have seen this before even in my own case where I experienced other "whistle-blowers" trying to take all the "glory" and even "control" other whistle-blowers and people to the point where it was an obsession. Especially when they try to control the news media which is out "safety line". Not good.
I also attended a special conference with some special back groups in L.A. and some "Black Panthers" to gain the assistance of the black community in helping us fight the corrupt government regarding the CIA, LAPD, etc...(NO luck there) Racism still exists. Mike tried to control them too. Blacks didn't want a former LAPD cop with blond hair trying to tell them what was going on or how to fight it.(I know, cause I ran into some of those same people when I was in federal prison) Most of the blacks think Ricky "Highway" Ross is "Suspect".
Ruppert came on too strong and let his head get in the way and forgot who some of the other "Drug Warriors" are out here. He alienated them and finally had other issues. It's really too bad that things seem to go that direction as we can't get enough help form the Congress or Senate when THEY Are in charge of investigating the very same corrupt agencies WE are trying to report.
The last time I tried to get in touch with Ruppert, he was "on the run" and has not returned any calls or emails. In my opinion, he has nothing to offer anymore because of the way he treated other people. He has made some other people look bad and made it more difficult for the rest of us.
I hope you will all forgive my honesty, but I have over 25 years in law enforcement and WE need level headed people to fight corruption a certain way. If it isn't done right, everybody loses. Whistle-blowers don't win, they end up in prison, broke, alone and eventually dead.
But don't let that scare you!!!! Never lose your sense of humor! Keep training, stay healthy and fight the fight no matter what. It will all be worth it in the end. Better to go down fighting than to run away scared.
I don't think being in law enforcement is for everybody and being a "whistle-blower" is not easy either. That puts you way out there where no man/woman in law enforcement should be and has ever been before. It is dangerous, so you better be right. Ask Frank Serpico, or Robert Hanz and David Greenberg of NYPD.(I know Frank but haven't talk to him lately. I would love to get in touch with Hantz and Greenberg of The Supercops(1974) movie fame) and now Cele Castillo and good friend and former DEA and author of Powder Burns or go to http://www.powderburns.com Cele just got out of federal prison on some BS charges and did 37 months or less. Do you seen the pattern folks???
I could write books on what I know, but I am trying to get my original computer back so I can finish my first book.
Please keep in mind that I have the extensive background in law enforcement and I have worked undercover work and it is dangerous.
My first law enforcement job was U.S. Secret Service, San Diego P.D., DEA trained, CNOA life member, U.S. Mint Police, U.S. Customs & Immigration Service(DOJ trained), FLETC graduate several times, and finally a licensed private investigator(retired) and security consultant.(See also my resume and commendations list on my website: http://www.customscorruption.com ) I still left out a lot too!
Anyway, I could go on and on, but I think you get the general idea.
It's too bad we don't have the real backing of the People and a dozen lawyers willing to back us up when we get retaliated against.
All that WPA(Whistle-blower Protection Act laws) etc is a bunch of horse crap! We don't have any protection unless you carry a "double staggered" magazine Para-Ordnance P-14 .45 caliber with dozens of magazines, etc....

What is your judgement on the whistleblowing work of former LAPD narcotics investigator, Michael Ruppert? See eg here.
Does your analysis share much common ground with that of Ruppert?
