Between the hours of 7:30 P.M. Sunday, June 25 and 7:30 A.M., Monday, June 26, the FTW offices were burglarized. Four interior doors were smashed with a sledgehammer. All seven FTW computers were transported to a central location in the building. Their covers were removed and they were also smashed with a sledgehammer. No other significant property was taken and there was no other damage to any other fixtures or furnishings.<br><br>An active police investigation is underway with a named suspect. I do not believe that this incident was the work of the U.S. government. I do believe that this is the work of an organized meth ring that I prevented from infiltrating my business. As Dmitri Orlov has noted in Post-Soviet Lessons for a Post-American Century, when societies collapse, organized crime becomes much more assertive. As beautiful as Southern Oregon is and as happy as I am to be here, the challenges that will be facing all of us as Peak Oil hits are making themselves known.<br><br>We have ordered new computers and should be able to retrieve or restore most of our data. However more than one hard-drive will require expensive high- tech recovery processes. In all probability FTW will not be able to upload to our website for one week from today. When we come back online I will have a more complete story with photographs. Please do not send emails. We cannot read them. <br><br>Michael C. Ruppert<br><br><br>Mike is asking that this message be distributed widely until he can get back online.<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://mikeruppert.blogspot.com/2006/06/urgent-message-from-mike-ruppert.html">mikeruppert.blogspot.com/2006/06/urgent-message-from-mike-ruppert.html</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://fromthewilderness.com/">fromthewilderness.com/</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=jc@rigorousintuition>jc</A> at: 6/27/06 8:22 pm<br></i>
