This volume, written by a former member of the Intelligence Briefing Team of the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, who is already famous on the talk-radio/lecture circuit, has truly become a sensation in the slow-moving world of conspiracy books. At first, Behold a Pale Horse would seem to bring together the strands of Trilateral/Council on Foreign Relations/Bilderberg/New World Order/Illuminati monitoring with Alternative 3/MJ-12 UFO paranoia about “government cover-ups” into one scary scenario.
But at times, Cooper—the man who stared down the Men-in-Black and lived to write a book—leaves the reader in a perilous state of uncertainty by revealing his own doubts regarding extraterrestrial reports. After spinning a fascinating web—which includes forcible depopulation by the Club of Rome through AIDS; fomenting civil wars in high population-growth countries like El Salvador; tobacco fields fertilized with radioactive trailings to increase cancer rates; details of secret moon bases where a hushed-up altercation between Soviet and American personnel actually became violent; the lowdown on Mount Weather where a stand-in federal government is housed in a vast underground city; documentation of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s contingency plans to rule the U.S. by martial law and draconian unconstitutional drug-war laws; reports of how Ike foolishly turned to Nelson Rockefeller for help in solving the problem of dealing with alien landings in 1953; and even unmasking Whitley Strieber (author of Communion and Majesty) as a CIA agent— Cooper still seems less than confident about how to interpret his own findings. As he puts it, “There is always the possibility that I was used, that the whole alien scenario is the greatest hoax in history designed to create an alien enemy from outer space in order to expedite the formation of a one-world government… I advise you to consider this scenario as being probable.”
This does not prevent him from accusing Vicki Cooper, editor of UFO magazine, of once being part of the Mayflower Madam’s hooker operation and being forced to move to L.A. and start the magazine in a deal to get out of a long jail term. A firm believer in the premises of Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Cooper reprints a version of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion in its entirety but then notes that one should substitute “‘Sion’ for ‘Zion’, ‘Illuminati’ for ‘Jews’, and ‘cattle’ for ‘goyim.’”
“Could it be that Congress knows the whole thing and won’t touch it? Are they among the select who have been picked for the Mars Colony when the Earth begins to destruct, if the Earth is going to destruct?” That’s a hard call, Bill. SS
