 Watch this!!May 27, 2009
By Mr. Daniel J. Ritchie
"reality boy"
On the subject of 9-11, it is hard to go past Mike Ruppert for information. Being a former cop, he knows that in order to convince people of what he is saying, you need to talk facts and evidence, and that's exactly what he does. In this lecture given in late November of 2001, he doesn't give opinions on how 9-11 was pulled off, because, even to this day, it is still speculation. But what Mike Ruppert presents is solid evidence proving the official lies and contradictions that lead to the event, and he builds an impeccable case as to why it happened. Tying in drug trafficking, money laundering, oil (especially peak-oil) and gas as well as wall street, the CIA and the desperate financial plunder of the US, the how of the 9-11 operation, while remaining a fascinating question (and only that, thanks to the official resistance to a proper investigation), takes on less credence to prove complicity and guilt. I am amazed at how many questions this lecture answers and how much information is present at such an early point in the 9-11 investigation. But then again, as Ruppert so ably represents, the operation itself was going on a long time before the actual event. Read Ruppert's "Crossing the Rubicon" for more detailed and updated information. And, as a speaker, he's pretty watchable, and even some of his jokes aren't bad. If you want to know the why framed by the solid, hard facts, watch this, it really could change your life.

Means To An EndSep 24, 2009
By Howard M. Kindel
Regardless who engineered "911," it's become clear over the years that the tragedy quickly became a means to an end. Mike Ruppert, like most others who have investigated aspects of "911," concludes that American hegemony in Eurasia, and particularly in the Middle East, was that end. But there's another, a much subtler means to an end contained within "The Truth and Lies of 911" - one of Ruppert's own making. And everything he says about "911" leads to that end. He's obsessed with a presumed CIA connection to the international drug trade; he was an LAPD narcotics detective who was driven from the Police Department because he made waves about that very thing. So, even though he understandably concludes that "911" became a means of capturing Middle Eastern oil, natural gas and pipeline routes, he's just as adamant that "911" was also a means of re-capturing the Afghanistani opium trade - which the Taliban virtually eliminated. It is Ruppert's belief that the profits from this drug trade is primarily what keeps the American economy from collapsing. In fact, his comments on the economy are the most compelling part of the entire two and a half hour presentation; and his brief introductory comments - which date from 2004 - are eerily prescient. It's as if he's giving a news report on the recent banking crisis. That alone earns this film at least five-stars - and helps counter-balance what might otherwise be written off as merely a personal vendetta against the CIA.

must haveJun 16, 2009
By Elizabeth Monty
"warrior woman"
Mike Ruppert is informative, precise and presents a picture that every thinking american needs to make an informed decision about foreign policy, congressman and a global worldview. Peek oil, 9/11 truthers, conspiratorial i.e. Cheneys energy policy and of course the Patriotic Act I, II and III the victory acts that have since been passed. All Americans need to review this material because it connects wall street and drugs. Gold, oil and Drugs.

An important film on 9/11Mar 02, 2010
By J Blyth
Anyone trying to make sense of the 9/11 mystery should look at Mike Ruppert's work.
It was not until I first watched this dvd, that things started to fit into place. Instead of going through the events of 9/11, he gives us a detailed analysis of how the Banks, Government, CIA and Corporations all work together for their own financial gain. Mike then shows us how 9/11 was needed to continue their hunger for global power, control of oil and further personal wealth.
Over the years M.R. has carried out painstaking research, so when he presents his information it is fully sourced and documented. The Government can usually get away with their crimes as people are not willing or able to find the evidence, however M.R. produces many documents that show corruption at the highest level.
This film is important as it gives you a better understanding why the US government would carry out such a wicked act on its own people. He shows us compelling evidence they were planning the attacks long before 9/11 and to what ends.
It is quite uncomfortable to think that the people you elect to serve your interests can do such a thing, so it can be quite hard viewing. I think the misguided loyalty to our leaders is stopping us looking for the dark truths, and until we can change, the Government will keep getting away with it.
Until we get to the truth of 9/11, the Government will use it to justify any actions they see fit.
Therefore we should never stop demanding a new and honest investigation.
