Here is the exchange between Ruppert and Dave McGowan. McGowan points out that Ruppert has made (and continues to make) very large sums of money from his imaginary conspiracy theories. He doesn't need money from anyone.<br><br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://educate-yourself.org/cn/davemcgowan54newsletter18mar04.shtml">educate-yourself.org/cn/d...ar04.shtml</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><br>and<br><br>Mike Ruppert's Panhandling Scam <br><br>Mike Ruppert must think that people on the Internet are stupid, especially the “subscribers” to his From the Wilderness newsletter. In fact, he must think they’re the most idiotic people on the face of the earth.<br><br>I mean, it’s bad enough that Ruppert was run-out of the 9-11 Movement on a rail; that he’s been proven to be a pawn of Big Oil via his cockamamie “peak oil” theories, and that he’s regularly mocked, derided, and shown to be a liar on message boards all across the ‘Net. Worse, numerous 9-11 researchers have unmistakably shown how Ruppert was put in place to deliberately distract everyone away from the WTC controlled demolition and other 9-11 crux issues.<br><br>But now Crazy Mike (and that’s putting it mildly) has hit an all-time low. In his latest FTW newsletter, he’s begging for money with such pathetic desperation that it’s embarrassing to even read. Ruppert has fallen to such miserable depths that what little self-respect he was so desperately clinging to is now regrettably gone.<br><br>It seems Mike wants to move from Los Angeles to the Pacific Northwest; and he also wants to produce a new DVD.<br><br>But guess what. He doesn’t want to pay for his move. He wants YOU to pay for it. Worse, guess who he wants to pay for the production of his next DVD? Himself. Hell no! He wants YOU to pay for it!<br><br>Now think about this peculiar notion for a moment. What if GM (which is also facing financial difficulties, like just about everyone else in America) sent a mass e-mail and said they wanted to produce a new car, but they wanted YOU to finance it. Of course they would pocket all the profits, and there was no mention whatsoever of profit-sharing. What would you think? You’d probably laugh your asses off, like I (and any other sane person) would.<br><br>But get this --- Mike Ruppert wants YOU to pay to produce his video. Can you believe the unmitigated gall of this worm? Of course he throws in some scare tactics for good measure (about how we have to “prepare for the collapse”); and then Ruppert brags about how he’s suckered people before into his little panhandling scheme. Once, in 2000, he “raised” $11,000; then in 2003 he “raised” $130,000 more. Not a bad little racket he has going, huh! I’m reminded of that song about “money for nothing.”<br><br>But now, in Ruppert’s own exact words, he tells us, “We need that much again and more.”<br><br>Can you believe your eyes? In this lousy economy with families scraping to get by, Ruppert wants people to send him $130,000+! I’ve never in my life witnessed such narcissistic arrogance. Hey Mike, have you ever considered getting a job like everyone else?<br><br>He continues, “I am not asking for loans.” Of course not; he wants YOU to give him his money for free with no strings attached.<br><br>He then adds, “I am taking my own advice and refusing to go further in debt.” <br><br>So let me get this straight. Ruppert doesn’t want to go into debt; but to raise $130,000 he wants YOU to go into debt! What a helluva nice guy, huh – always looking out for your best interests. I guess P.T. Barnum was right – there is a sucker born every minute because if there is even one person alive who’d fall for this scam, they’d surely have to have SUCKER written across their forehead.<br><br>Ruppert concludes this pathetic little ruse by declaring, “I cannot guarantee that we would be able to repay any loans anyway.”<br><br>But wait a second. What about the profits from the DVD that he wants everyone to finance? Couldn’t he repay them with those funds? Oh, wait a second, I forgot – Mike’s going to use that dough to relocate himself (plus four other people and their families) to the Great Northwest. How foolish of me to forget.<br><br>But y’see, there’s more to the story. Mike recently had a Summary Judgment leveled against him in L.A. County for $5,072.00. This fine resulted from being taken to small claims court by a former employee. Now $5,000 bucks ain’t small change, and usually when ya reach this kind of fee, the judge wants some money or else he threatens you with the clanking of prison cell bars. Do you think Ruppert might want to use a little bit of YOUR money to pay-off the law man?<br><br>Furthermore, I recently quoted an e-mail from Elizabeth Pfeiffer (wife of former Ruppert employee Dale Pfeiffer) where she stated that Ruppert has been talking about the FBI extorting money from him.<br><br>Not only is the above assertion bizarre beyond words, but here is what else Ruppert talks about in his panhandling letter: FTW workers sabotaging his operations, troubles with the IRS, being shaken down as a burglary suspect, FBI “black bag jobs”, money mysteriously appearing and disappearing from his bank account, retired FBI moles spying on him (isn’t that a hoot), supposed assassination threats originating from WING TV, surveillance on him in NYC and DC, how he was screwed out of a $640,000 inheritance, how the NSA ‘torpedoed’ him out of $11,000, and how he might have to seek refuge in a foreign country (whatever happened to Oregon)?<br><br>And all of the above was contained in a six-page e-mail! Hell, I was waiting for Ruppert to resurrect old con-man Mike “Delmart” Vreeland to add the final icing on the cake.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://69.28.73.17/thornarticles/ruppertpanhandle.html">69.28.73.17/thornarticles...andle.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
