Mike Ruppert is Publisher/Editor of From the Wilderness,
newsletter read by more  than 2,200 subscribers in 27
countries including 20 members of the US Congress, professors
at 12 universities, many authors and journalists. Through the
newsletter and his website at http://www.copvcia.com/, Mike
has pioneered innovative analysis and groundbreaking stories
on the impact of $500-600 billion per year in drug money
moving through the US economy and the illegal covert
operations which maintain control of that cash flow for US
economic interests.

An Honors graduate of UCLA in Political Science (1973), Mike
is a former LAPD narcotics investigator who discovered CIA
trafficking in drugs in 1977. After attempting to expose this
he was forced out of LAPD in 1978 while earning the highest
rating reports possible. In 1996, after 18 years of struggle,
he finally achieved one of his deepest wishes in a face to
face public encounter with then CIA Director John Deutch on
national television. Washington sources later told Mike that
Deutch's mishandling of the encounter cost him a guaranteed
appointment as Secretary of Defense.

Mike's stories, which now include economic analysis and
detailed expose of the CIA and the American political system,
have been reprinted in 12 countries. A popular lecturer on
the college circuit, he is also a regular guest on talk radio
shows at major stations throughout the country.

In the wake of the September 11th attacks Mike was among the
first to be publicly critical of a number of transparent
flaws in the official story presented by the US government.
In more than twenty stories since 9/11 he has followed his
tested strategy of using only government documents, official
statements or verifiable press reports as the basis for his
work. As a result he has been openly received by several
members of Congress and maintains open lines of communication
with congressional and committee staffs.

On November 28, 2001 Mike gave his first post 9/11 lecture at
Portland State University, which was attended by more than
1,000 and resulted in a standing ovation. Mike and FTW will
be releasing a professionally produced videotape, "Truth and
Lies About 9-11," (http://www.copvcia.com/store/index.html#videos)
on February 1. Special exclusive interviews with Representatives
Ron Paul (R-TX), Cynthia McKinney (D-GA), Barbara Lee (D-CA),
Professor Peter Dale Scott, (UC, Berkeley), Professor John Metzger
(Michigan State) and Catherine Austin Fitts, and (former Assistant
Secretary of Housing and Managing Director) Dillon Read have
already resulted in extensive pre-publicity and advance sales.

Mike has offered a $1,000 prize to anyone who can disprove
the authenticity of any of his source material. No one has
yet presented a claim.

Among the more glaring holes in the official story about 9/11
are confirmed reports of massive deployments of military
forces in the region before the attacks; well documented
insider trading on United Airlines and American Airlines that
could only have been a result of foreknowledge of the WTC
attacks, including UAL "put" options placed through a firm
once  headed  by  a  current  CIA  executive;  glaring
inconsistencies with official FAA and USAF established policy
for the "scrambling" of fighter jets, and a four-year-old
book by former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski
("The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and its Geostrategic
Imperatives," Verso Books, 1997) that predicted today's war
as a necessity for securing control of massive Central Asian
oil reserves. In addition, Mike stresses -- using respected
press reports -- the economic imperative for the CIA to
secure control of the massive opium/heroin trade for the
purpose of directing its cash flows into Wall Street.

"There are so many holes in the official story that I have to
choose, as in a triage mode, which ones to present in my
lectures," said Ruppert. "The point is not that there is a
lack of evidence. There is more than enough. But once
presented with it we see more than half the people willing to
accept it and the rest living in a state of illogical, almost
psychopatholgic denial."
