After reading 3 of David Icke’s books from my local librayr, I find this one in the new section even though its copyrighted 1991.
Its called Behold A Pale Horse by a William Cooper.
Its seems to be along the same lines as Icke’s theories of aliens, etc.
God, I hope they are not checking my library check outs or Ashcroft will be interested in me!
Does anyone know about this book or this guy?
He legit?
I bought it back in 1999 under the recommendation from a friend. I was really stoked at the whole amateurish pulp quality of it.
I read, maybe, the first chapter, and then put it back on the shelf. I’ve moved three times since then, and it is still in a box, somewhere.
It was a combination of the text being boring, non-linear, and pretentious that turned me off.
Supposedly William Cooper is legit. His book is littered with copies of official documents, and according to him, he had the clearance to see & know certain things. His service record is published in the book, seeming to validate his claims. He does make some outlandish claims, about aliens and such, but he also states at some point, that this is the official information he saw - whether it is misinformation it up to debate. Like any other conspiracy theorist, evaluate his theories yourself. He put forth lots of evidence for some theories, but not for all. Judge the evidence he puts forward for yourself. I would still recommend the book though.
William Cooper was killed in a shootout with local cops soon after 9/11. Since his book was published in 1991, Bill exhaustively investigated the Bush family, and their Columbian banking interests for example. He was most recently researching and disputing what caused the WTC to collapse. I’m sure he made no friends in the Bush administration.

Behold A Pale Horse ? Where Cooper reprinted the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in its entirity as an appendix ? Albeit with a disclaimer along the lines of that where it says “Jews” one should understand “Trilateral Commission”.
I seriously suggest that you read Donna Kossy’s chapter on Cooper in her Kooks (Feral House, 1994) before deciding to “invest” any time on his incoherent ramblings.
It seems kindof disjointed, I just skimmed it.
The weird thing, is, its not showing up on my library card as being out…:eek:
I’m returning it Monday!
