Whistleblower, Michael Ruppert LAPD Exposes CIA Drug Trafficking in 1996

Michael Ruppert joined the LAPD in 1973. He was assigned to handle narcotics investigations in the most dangerous neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Beginning in 1976, he made discoveries that led him to believe that he had stumbled onto a large network of narcotics traffickers and that the US military as well as the LAPD might be involved. He resigned from the force in November 1978.[1]

On April 13, 2014, Ruppert was found dead in Napa County at home just outside the Calistoga, California, city limits. Ruppert died of a single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. This was confirmed by close friend and property owner and landlord Jack Martin.[40] Martin found Ruppert's body and suicide note.[41] According to his business partner and last attorney of record, Wesley Miller,[42] Ruppert shot himself after taping his final broadcast of The Lifeboat Hour with friend and colleague Carolyn Baker, Ph.D.[43]
On the subject of his own death, Ruppert said:

On November 15, 1996, then Director of Central Intelligence John Deutch visited Los Angeles' Locke High School for a town hall meeting. At the meeting, Ruppert publicly confronted Deutch, saying that in his experience as an LAPD narcotics officer he had seen evidence of CIA complicity in drug dealing.[9][10]
He went on to become an investigative journalist[11] and established the publication From The Wilderness, a watchdog publication that exposed governmental corruption, including his experience with CIA drug dealing activities.[12]

The question I am asked most frequently at my lectures is why I haven't been killed yet. I have two answers. First, it is not cost-effective, and the response would cause more problems than it would solve. I am not important enough to kill.
Secondly, I will not die one minute before God has decided.

Since then the CIA have primarily been involved with the more lucrative trade of child trafficking

As a friend recently said to me...

"this is so sad. He must have felt so hopeless. I heard from another source (related to a Viet veteran) saying that they discovered the reason US went into Vietnam was for the cabal govt to control the heroin market as the Golden Triangle was the area they could secure the crops production n sell to the world. Heroin came about in the mid 1970s"
