Memory of Michael C. Ruppert - Full Interview - "Zeitgeist:
Moving Forward" by Peter Joseph
From Peter Joseph, April 16th 2014:
In
early 2010, I interviewed Michael C. Ruppert for a film.
This
is the full interview with only minor editing.
Given
his tragic death, I would like to say that Michael was an extremely
rare person - far beyond what most see. While he certainly had no
shortage of detractors and attackers, he also had courage
unprecedented - fearless - and was an inspiration to millions,
including myself.
Mike
ruthlessly put forward and defended what he had concluded without
intimidation or fear of reprisal. In the climate of tension common to
the activist community, Mike was a pioneer...and sadly people with
this kind of commitment and sensitivity often find tragic ends.
As
a personal friend, this was a massive loss.
This
interview, as with many he did, again shows his understanding of the
world along with his relentless plea for humanity to change course.
While
I, as a sustainability activist, do not necessarily agree with some
of the pending consequences he had deemed inevitable, his logic is
rock solid regarding his diagnosis of the problems at hand. The dark
future he describes as possible, while certainly preventable in my
mind, is far from irrational or extreme in the broad view.
Think
for yourself... if we all agreed, there would be no progress.
His
life's work to bring justice, truth, sanity and progress to the world
will live on in all of us who dare to care about the present mess we
try to defend as "civilization".
