(Conspiracy Nation, 08/18/06)
-- Michael Ruppert, best-selling author of Crossing The Rubicon, has
reportedly fled the United States. An article at the From The
Wilderness web site, apparently written by Ruppert, includes a photo of
the author in Venezuela. (http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/081606_burning_bridge.shtml)
According to the article, "By The Light Of A Burning Bridge: A
Permanent Goodbye To The United States," Ruppert "left the United
States with one large suitcase, my laptop, and a backpack. I left
behind my precious library, most of my clothing, my personal
possessions, my guns, and a house full of furniture. I brought with me
less than eight thousand dollars in cash and gold to start the final
segment of my life."
Precipitating the sudden departure was a savage attack upon
Ruppert's From The Wilderness (FTW) office. Reportedly, a burglary
occurred on June 25th at the Ashland, Oregon location in which sledge
hammers were used to demolish several computers. Ruppert suspects
government involvement in the attack.
Ruppert has waged an information war, counter-acting prevalent
propaganda. He writes, "at [age] 55, as I looked at the smashed
computers and realized that I had humiliated the government one too
many times, I understood two things. I was too old to go on fighting
these increasingly ugly and dangerous battles. And there was nothing
left in the United States worth fighting for. The next battle would
surely mean death for me."
But the "battle," dear Ruppert, is spiritual. Like many others,
Ruppert has been deceived by illusion. Caught up in the snares of
matter, he has mis-perceived the Adversary.
At this point, Ruppert does not know where he will spend the rest of
his days. "Maybe in Venezuela," he writes, "maybe in Mexico
with the Zapatistas, maybe in Bolivia, maybe in France, Germany, or
even Russia."
Ironically, the safest place for Ruppert would have been right here
in the United States. By going abroad, he has become an easier target
for the Adversary.
All too often, good people such as Ruppert lose perspective. As the
late Sherman H. Skolnick (http://www.shout.net/~bigred/Skolnick.html)
reminded this editor many times, "You've got to laugh." Timed-proven
advice is to stand back from stressful situations. In a way, Ruppert's
flight is an extreme form of "standing back."
Understanding the Aether is important. "We are all connected" by it.
Look for manifestations of the spiritual in the material world. "The
Divine in itself is invisible," writes Michael Stanley, a minister with
the Swedenborgian church, "yet it is the very nature of Its being to
create, manifesting Itself, as an artist does, through what It creates."
The Adversary is an imperfect creator. It manifests also. Analysts
of the Middle East see August 22nd as a defining date in Iran/U.S.
relations. And Lo! On August 23rd, Christiane Amanpour will present a
television special, "In The Footsteps Of Bin Laden." So-called
"encores" will be broadcast on August 26th and August 27th. (For more
on Amanpour, see "Shah Rises From Dead," http://www.shout.net/~bigred/Shah.html)
Amanpour is not the Adversary, but she unwittingly manifests for It.
Other manifestations to report are from Tibetan Monks, who say that
"on August 12th an evil energy was released upon the Earth and is
spiritual in nature. We should expect to see increasing acts of
horrible vengeance and people going insane." (http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=91954)
Wisely, Boriska, the Boy From Mars, has opted to distance himself from
prognostications, for fear that by stepping into the future he might
alter it. (See "Boriska, Mars Boy, Keeping Quiet," http://www.shout.net/~bigred/Boriska.html)
Conspiracy Nation notices
arguments about the status of Pluto. "Is it a planet or an asteroid?"
debate some astronomers. This, again, is a manifestation. Pluto rules
Scorpio, under which influence we are now passing. (Jupiter in Scorpio
until about November 2006.) Scorpio signifies death and regeneration.
Mercury having gone direct around July 6th roughly coincides with the
G-8 Summit in Russia, collapse of the Doha round of World Trade talks,
the Bomb-Bay (Mumbai, India) attack, and the Israeli temper tantrum.
Behind-the-scenes, like the status of Pluto, plans for an Iran War are
indeterminate.
Another manifestation is Native Americans ("Indians") reportedly
experiencing nightmares. Also, Mars, planet of War, is said to be
approaching nearer to Earth, culminating on August 26th.
These are manifestations. But remember, when the understanding is
enlightened by the Divine light, it then perceives that to be true
which is true. (Emanuel
Swedenborg) Do not mistake the manifestations for the reality. And be
aware always of from where the manifestations come. Some are from the
Creator; some are from the Adversary.
