William Cooper was a highly decorated US Navy Intelligence office with a high top secret security rating - as shown by duplication of official documents in his book. While yes, I would agree that he is slightly paranoid, that does not dismiss his research. As with every ‘conspiracy theorist’, you need to read thru their material and distinguish fact from opinion. And by the way, It was George Bush I who uttered the term ‘New World Order’ in public for the first time, not William Cooper.
Out of these troubled times, our-objective-a new world order-can emerge-Today, that new world is struggling to be born, a world quite different from the one we have known-
-Former President George Bush, September 11, 1990
With NAFTA, new ‘free trade’ deals in the works, and increased globilization, I don’t think it’s valid to quickly dismiss someone who believes in a ‘totalitarian government’ as a quack. The theory is getting more and more into mainstream consciousness.
Anyways, here’s some more non-William Cooper quotes that say the same thing:
“The year in the tomb at Yale instills within members an unwavering loyalty to Skull and Bones society. Members have been known to stab their Skull and Bones pins into their skin to keep them in place during swimming or bathing. The knights (as the student members are called) learn quickly that their allegiance to the society must supercede all else - family, friendships, country, God.”

Yet [Bush’s] allegiance to this Luciferian secret fraternity commits the U.S. President to serve the Illuminist objective of global domination and the vested interest of a secretive Anglo-American power elite, above the best interest of his nation. Historian Antony Sutton, in America’s Secret Establishment claims that Skull and Bones is, “a clear and obvious threat to constitutional freedom in the United States. Its secrecy, power and use of influence is greater by far than the masons, or any other semi-secret mutual or fraternal organization.”
