Michael Ruppert is an independent journalist who has made a minor career out of telling people news that most folks do not want to know. Ruppert, a former police officer, predicted the Wall Street debacle of 2008 several years before the fact, at a time when most analysts were still imagining infinite growth for the stock market and major investment banks. Since then, his vision of the world’s future has grown only darker. As Ruppert sees it, civilization and the global economy has yet to wean itself off fossil fuels, and when the world’s supply of oil finally runs out, it will lead to a global financial catastrophe that will leave no one unscathed. But while most of what Ruppert has to say bears the ring of truth, there’s a small audience for his dire message — the primary medium for his work is a self-published newsletter, and his most recent book has done so poorly in the marketplace that he faces eviction from his home.
Is Ruppert right? And if he is, why doesn’t anyone care? Filmmaker Chris Smith profiles Michael Ruppert and gives him a chance to explain his apocalyptic vision of the future at length in the documentary Collapse, which was an official selection at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival.

FEEM Lecture by Peter Wadhams, Professor of Ocean Physics, University of Cambridge: “Arctic Amplification, Climate Change, Global Warming. New Challenges from the Top of the World”
The continuous and progressive transformations related to global warming in the Arctic are posing new challenges which require appropriate reflection as well as innovative and efficient solutions.
The melting of the Arctic ice started over 60 years ago, but its quick acceleration in the last decade brings about a wide range of dramatic consequences at economic, social and environmental level that in turn have geostrategic implications on a world scale.
What a few years ago was considered mainly a local problem is nowadays showing its full potential in transforming consolidated geopolitical relations: the melting of the Arctic ice – which is actually faster than predicted – may lead to conflicts in terms of navigation along new shipping routes, access to local resources and the subsistence of indigenous and local populations.
While looking for scientific and technological solutions, it is now urgent to also identify a new international governance that may support the implementation of an Arctic cooperation management system at a world level.
Peter Wadhams, Professor of Ocean Physics at the University of Cambridge, in the Lecture “Arctic Amplification, Climate Change, Global Warming. New Challenges from the Top of the World” will discuss these topics from a privileged point of view: leader of over 40 polar expeditions from the ’70s until today, Professor Wadhams is in fact one of the most renowned international experts in the field. Presenting the results of over 40 years of research to an audience of experts, scholars and researchers, he will provide a unique perspective on the relationship between global warming in the Arctic and geopolitical dynamics, along with new solutions to adequately address the issues at stake.

We MUST stop the Ionospheric Heaters, and chemtrails! Instead of spraying poison, the chemtrail planes should be used to fertilize the oceans with iron dust. This will trigger plankton blooms, which will remove some of the excess CO2 from the atmosphere. One pound of soluble iron, spread in the ocean, will remove 1,000 pounds of CO2 from the atmosphere. Ocean Fertilization will slow down the runaway heating process, and give us time to develop other solutions.
If mankind cannot stop the US Navy SBX ionospheric heaters, the 20 year doomsday timeline in this video will be correct. Here is a video showing how the ionospheric heaters are used to melt the Arctic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvW52…
In 8 years, planet Earth will be MUCH, MUCH, hotter. This video shows the best available temperature prediction, because the IPCC does NOT include the positive feedback of Arctic methane in their climate predictions. Therefore, the IPCC report is a JOKE!
During the winters of 2013/2014, and 2014/2015, the navy SBX Haarp transmitters melted the Arctic by pushing warm, humid, air from Asia, into Alaska. The HAARP transmitters have accelerated the Arctic melting, by several decades, if not a full century.
If JUST the shallow part of the Arctic sea (East Siberian Arctic Shelf) melts, the methane content in the air will go up by 1,000 times. Methane is 1/3 of the total greenhouse gas now, so a 1,000 times increase, means the total greenhouse gas will increase by 300 fold. Methane traps 100 times more heat, than carbon dioxide. After the methane release, all the permafrost in the northern hemisphere will melt, releasing much greater amounts of carbon dioxide and methane. That will cause the oceans to go anaerobic, due to the high temperatures. The dead oceans will stop making oxygen, and start releasing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in large quantities.
All this will be happening quickly in the next few decades, but if the SBX transmitters are shut down, and the oceans are fertilized with iron dust, we can still stop the runaway global temperature increase, and save all life on Earth. Every day that passes makes total extinction more likely. Presently, the Ionospheric Heaters are operated by “unknown agents”, as a weapon of weather warfare against the American people, Mexico, and all humans on Earth. This must stop immediately.
Sorry, I mistakenly said “five gigatons” in the video, but I meant to say “five thousand gigatons”.
Brief summary of global warming, for mass media followers, and skeptics:
Methane has been less than 700 ppb, for 50 million years, now it is 1900 ppb, and shooting higher every year. We are passing the elbow, in the hockey stick, this year, 2015.
It is not about CO2 anymore. It has been 5 million years since CO2 was 400 ppm, like it is now, CO2 is projected to got to 900 ppm by 2100, the temperature of the globe takes decades to catch up with the greenhouse gas level, so even if all CO2 emissions stopped now, the earth will continue heating for centuries. The oceans store 1,100 times more heat than the land and air, and the oceans are hotter than they have been in millions of years, and getting hotter every year. The oceans, and polar ice, are absorbing the extra heat, and hiding the global heating.
Every square meter of the Earth is getting 2.29 watts of extra heat, whenever the sun is up. This “solar forcing” means the temperature MUST go up, so the outgoing infrared matches the incoming heat from the sun. The extra infrared cannot leave, because of the increased greenhouse gases.
As the polar ice melts, we will see global temperatures skyrocket, since the melting ice has buffered the global temperatures.
We can still save this planet, if we fertilze the oceans with iron dust, and trigger continuous plankton blooms, as that will sequester incredible amounts of carbon at the bottom of the oceans, as limestone, forever. This means converting the chemtrail planes, from dropping poison, to dropping non-toxic soluble iron, instead.
ONLY 42 SUPERTANKERS can drop enough iron in the oceans, each year, to remove ALL THE MANMADE CO2 from the atmosphere, for that year. This is a cheap, safe, easy, way to buy some time, before the runaway global heating becomes unstoppable!!! The international fishing fleets should spread iron, as they are raping the oceans, to replenish the biomass they remove.
A global methane release happened 55 million years ago, and we are going to see an exact repeat of the PETM extinction event.
If we don’t fertilize the oceans with iron, and the Arctic ocean with tungsten, our planet will die in the next 10 to 30 years (2015 new graphs: http://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2015/… )
Please forward to government, scientists, and friends. Time is quickly running out.

The book that inspired the movie Collapse.
The world is running short of energy-especially cheap, easy-to-find oil. Shortages, along with resulting price increases, threaten industrialized civilization, the global economy, and our entire way of life.
In Confronting Collapse, author Michael C. Ruppert, a former LAPD narcotics officer turned investigative journalist, details the intricate connections between money and energy, including the ways in which oil shortages and price spikes triggered the economic crash that began in September 2008. Given the 96 percent correlation between economic growth and greenhouse gas emissions and the unlikelihood of economic growth without a spike in energy use, Ruppert argues that we are not, in fact, on the verge of economic recovery, but on the verge of complete collapse.
Ruppert’s truth is not merely inconvenient. It is utterly devastating.
But there is still hope. Ruppert outlines a 25-point plan of action, including the creation of a second strategic petroleum reserve for the use of state and local governments, the immediate implementation of a national Feed-in Tariff mandating that electric utilities pay 3 percent above market rates for all surplus electricity generated from renewable sources, a thorough assessment of soil conditions nationwide, and an emergency action plan for soil restoration and sustainable agriculture.
