Collapse (Full Documentary)
Published on Mar 29, 2013
Collapse, directed by Chris Smith, is an American documentary film exploring the theories, writings and life story of controversial author Michael Ruppert. Collapse premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2009 to positive reviews.
Ruppert, a former Los Angeles police officer who describes himself as an investigative reporter and radical thinker, has authored books on the events of the September 11 attacks and of energy issues. Critics[who?] call him a conspiracy theorist and an alarmist.
Director Smith interviewed Ruppert over the course of fourteen hours in an interrogation-like setting in an abandoned warehouse basement meat locker near downtown Los Angeles. Ruppert’s interview was shot over five days throughout March and April 2009. The filmmakers distilled these interviews down to this 82 minute monologue with archival footage interspersed as illustration.
The title refers to Ruppert’s belief that unsustainable energy and financial policies have led to an ongoing collapse of modern industrial civilization.
The film does not overtly take a perspective on the validity of Ruppert’s positions [citation needed] and critics have alternatingly described the film as supportive and as critical of Ruppert’s views. Smith himself, speaking at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere, said that “What I hoped to reveal was … that his obsession with the collapse of industrial civilization has led to the collapse of his life. In the end, it is a character study about his obsession.”[1]

He’s a Trooper.
He is right about 9/11! He is a very bright guy with a lot of guts. He may be overreaching regarding catastrophe, as the only catastrophe is people not borrowing from the banks to buy as much stuff. That has been going on for years since the video came out in 2009 and we are lumping along.
The question is, what bubble will be blown to replace QE? I wrote what I think it could be here:

OK, so the message we should take from this 82 minute video presented at the wonderful Toronto Film Festival, is that we should not follow his example, and get too much into the possibility of collapse lest we fall prey to the same obsession that finished him. I get it.
Therefore, people, DO NOT PREPARE FOR THE COMING COLLAPSE OF THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM, because it could be detrimental to your life.
Yeah right.
