William Cooper is described as a "conspiracy theorist". This is a term used by the establishment for the express purpose of dismissing someone or anything they have to say.

He was a radio talk show host, an author, a husband and a father.

Political scientist Michael Barkun characterized (Copper's book) Behold a Pale Horse as "among the most complex superconspiracy theories" and also among the most influential, being much read in militia circles as well as widely sold in mainstream bookstores.[4]

He was a person. And it would seem that he did not believe nor trust his government though he served them as a member of the military.

Its been reported that Rush Limbaugh, during one of his broadcasts, read a White House memo on the air which named William Cooper as "...the most dangerous radio host in America".

On November 5th, 2001, he was killed at his home by Sheriff's deputies...

Here's to remembering William Cooper on this solemn day.

Alex makes the claim repeatedly that he predicted 9/11 and it would seem that he did but its always been my thought that he did so only after listening to William Cooper.

William Cooper was the individual who opened my eyes to the conspiracy world, and for that he has my eternal gratitude.

There are a few things that people like to cite as reasons to discredit him. One is that he flip fopped on conspiracies (most notably the alien genre). Well, I see it as an individual who was still learning, and adjusting his views accordingly. Another is his bad attitude/drinking. I didn't see/hear it as a predominant issue. He seemed well read and intelligent. My personal opinion is that it was/is a useful straw man to discredit Cooper. It's also a useful explanation for his murder, so in turn people will run with it.

Although I didn't agree with all of what he said, he still resonated with me as a genuine person. Something that AJ fails to do. Speaking of Jones. His claim to fame is predicting 9/11, which is bull@#$%. Anyone who knows anything knows that claim to be garbage. There was a lot of tension built up because of a broadcast in which Cooper chastised Jones because of a Y2k scare Jones pushed during one of his broadcasts. If you've never heard it search for it on youtube. It's a must listen for anyone who has any interest in either man.

Last but not least, Cooper is dead. We can get into whether or not it was deserved, and whether Cooper is to shoulder the blame for his own demise. When it comes down to it he is gone and Jones is still plugging away selling all his crap.

It is also a strange coincidence that the guy who had proclaimed an attack was possibly imminent died a month after 9/11 by means of a confrontation with authorities. Me thinks he had come across some critical information that could have been damning. He was the top conspiracy guy at that time, and if anyone had good information there is a good chance they would have went to Cooper with it. Authorities also left his body on his front steps for hours while they searched his house claiming a bomb threat.

I hope he now has the peace his life never gave him. Thank you William Milton Cooper.

They killed Cooper and gave us Jones.

Yep, that's the way it is, the good guys get killed and the bad guys fleece the public.

Thanks for posting those videos! Everyone that has posted here is on the up and up on this issue. That is why I cherish ATS so much. Most of the people just getting into opening their eyes ask me.. Ever heard of Alex Jones!! And they get excited about talking about him.. I then ask them.. Ever heard of William Cooper, and it opens a whole new can of worms for them! I will direct some of my newer friends to these videos!


But to the point of the thread.. Remembering the man William Cooper.. A true Hero in my book.. And the guy who open my eyes back in the 1990's.

That is exactly my thought, jones has picked up every bit of cooper's mannerisms and then add 'emotion'. It is just too convenient. The enemy you know, okay, so get rid of the host you can't control and insert the one you can, disinformation.

Here's how I look at people like Alex Jones who certainly isn't alone in being who and what he is, whatever that might be.

Alex might just be a planted disinfo agent, I have my doubts about that but I also have my doubts about Jones and the accuracy of everything he reports.

I say thanks to Alex for opening my eyes more than they were and motivating me to look into issues and do my own research. If he is working for the PTB then he's really only a danger to those who are willing to take anything he says as truth and who are too lazy or incapable of doing their own investigating. I no longer listen to his show, haven't for many years.

He serves a purpose, to get people asking questions and being open to the fact that conspiracies of power do exist and have since the beginning. Once someone's eyes are open and if they are willing to look further that's really all we need. Being one of his fans and accepting the Alex Jones gospel is NOT required.

So, even if he is some kind of plant, so what? He's only going to fool the people who are more lazy than most, IMO and if in the "line of duty" he brings up an issue that gets the rest of us looking into it without following him into whatever conclusions were planned for that issue then really all they've accomplished is showing people another place to look.

You can ask your own questions and find your own answers. Making yourself seen as some kind of nutter who requires a SWAT team to deal with does not have to be part of the deal.

How long ago did you read it and how did you find out about it?
