Michael C. Ruppert was special -- but for all who walk this path, it is a solitary path; I felt his loneliness and to keep going, keep fighting
is not so easy; to go against the "machine" and be seen as a leader in that fight, with little support, no one really to love
this walk gets "complicated"
it is not all about thinking -- something for which you were so beautifully equipped; it is also about feeling and it was obvious you FELT things on such a deep level
deeper than most could go or even imagine
I have felt this on many levels in my own life; being a voice for things others may be afraid to say. It isn't easy because there are days in which you just want to kick back, have a beer, kiss a pretty girl and find some peace
Depression is a complicated thing as well; I have talked about my own battles with Depression (with a capital "D") and understand what it must have been like for you, to see what others refuse to see and be brave enough to keep saying it
knowing the shit storm sure to follow; being a voice is important
finding love is also important . . . I am honestly quite sad at Michael's passing, truly sad. This man was one of a kind
not easily replaced
all respect, always, from me to you -- the few exchanges we had were special for me. I believe your work changed the world, truly I do
and for that, we are all eternally grateful
