Michael Ruppert, author and former Los Angles Department officer, is dead of an apparent suicide.

He also appeared in several documentaries, Speaking about peak oil and abuses of government. He is best known for appearing in Zeitgeist: Moving Forward. Ruppert was also an advocate for moving away from a fossil fuel economy.

The investigative journalist appeared at a Los Angeles high school, where John Deutch, then director of central intelligence, was speaking. He confronted the agency head, telling the crowd he had first-hand evidence of government complicity in drug smuggling. Deutch handled the confrontation poorly, and was removed from his post. Many political observers believe questioning by the journalist cost the intelligence director an appointment to become secretary of defense.

In 1992, People Magazine wrote "[I]n the course of investigations in the mid 70's he came across information that the CIA was trading drugs in order to fund covert operations in the Middle East... [Ross] Perot called him back to offer encouragement... Ruppert says that his main objective is to see that the country gets a leader worthy of its people. Even for Ross Perot those will be tough shoes to fill."

Ruppert was recently found dead, and authorities are stating he commited suicide.

The 63 year old was born in Washington DC, and attended the University of California. Three of his books investigating the events of 9-11 became best sellers.

Ruppert was also the publisher of From the Wilderness, a political newsletter read by people in 50 nations. More than 60 members of Congress subscribe to the publication.

Little reliable information is available so far, and followers of Ruppert are sharing speculations about the reason behind his death.

Ruppert was criticized for his claims about the government bringing drugs into the United States. But, recent evidence proved his statements to be accurate.

The investigative journalist was founder of the Collapse Network, which works to raise awareness about peak oil, and the decline of oil reserves.
