The Secret Government
Cooper's earliest notoriety developed among UFO enthusiasts, as he promoted UFO and Paranormal Research and documents he had seen while serving in Naval Intelligence.
Behold a Pale Horse
Cooper became a popular speaker on the UFO lecture circuit, and expanded his account into the book Behold a Pale Horse.
Cooper is perhaps best known for this 1991 book which details much of his research into Government Corruption, Secret Societies and UFO Phenomenon. The title is from the Bible, Revelation 6:8: "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him."
Radio host, author and political activist
In addition to his literary pursuits, Cooper was also the host of his own worldwide shortwave radio show, Hour of the Time, as well as a political activist known for his court battles with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) despite strong efforts to dissuade him from pursuing his case.[citation needed] He also operated a dial-up bulletin board system (BBS) known as The Citizens Agency for Joint Intelligence (CAJI).[3]
He and Wayne Bentson co-researched the related CAJI News Service brief titled BATF/IRS—Criminal Fraud,[4] a history of alleged crimes committed by the Internal Revenue Service, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the Department of the Treasury. In this article, published in Veritas magazine, issue #6, in September 1995, Cooper asserted that the IRS is actually the same organization as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. [4]
He had also produced several documentaries covering subjects such as the John F. Kennedy assassination and government 'black projects'.
Cooper's detractors labeled him a conspiracy theorist because of his publications, a charge Cooper did not deny, arguing this:
Investigation of the alleged Internal Revenue Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has disclosed a broad, premeditated conspiracy to defraud the Citizens of the United States of America. Examination of the United States Code, the Code of Federal Regulations, the Statutes at Large, Congressional Record, the Federal Register, and Internal Revenue manuals too numerous to list, reveals a crime of such magnitude that words cannot adequately describe the betrayal of the American people. What we uncovered has clearly been designed to circumvent the limitations of the Constitution for the United States of America and to implement the Communist Manifesto within the 50 States. Marx and Engels claimed that, in the effort to create a classless society, a "graduated income tax" could be used as a weapon to destroy the middle class. [ . . . ] Through the clever use of language, the government promotes the fraud.[5]
William Cooper founded Harvest Trust, the CAJI News Service, Veritas newspaper, The Intelligence Service, and Harvest Publications. Under his leadership Harvest Trust ventured into publishing. The first book under the Harvest Trust imprint was Oklahoma City: Day One (ISBN 0-9653307-1-0), by Michele Marie Moore about the Oklahoma City bombing. In 1998 Veritas and Harvest Publications was sold to Hallmark Creative Corporation along with the copyright and all rights to all written material produced or ever to be produced by William Cooper including Behold A Pale Horse and Oklahoma City: Day One. Hallmark Creative Corporation has contracted to ensure this material is always available to the public.[6]
An advocate of free radio, Cooper operated the unlicensed Independence Foundation Trust at 101.1 FM in Eagar, Arizona. He boasted of having helped more than 700 low-power FM affiliate stations get equipped and on the air.[citation needed]
Later life
Shortly after the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, Rush Limbaugh read a White House memo on the air during his broadcast which named William Cooper, ". . . the most dangerous radio host in America."[citation needed] Mr. Cooper considered President Bill Clinton's pronouncement the greatest compliment that he had ever received.[6]
Cooper was charged with various crimes, including not filing and paying the income tax from 1992 to 1994, and bank fraud for supposedly giving false information on a loan application. A warrant was issued for his arrest on July 1, 1998 after he failed to appear in federal court . Claiming to belong to the "Second Continental Army of the Republic," he posted a message in big red letters on his Internet site:
- "WARNING!! Any attempt by the federal government or anyone else to execute the unconstitutional and unlawful arrest warrants... will be met with armed resistance."[7]
The U.S. attorney for Arizona, Jose de Jesus Rivera, said federal agents would move carefully to arrest Cooper, who faced a four-count indictment on charges that he failed to pay taxes from 1992 to 1994[7]
In Phoenix, Thomas Nixon of the U.S. Marshal's Office said authorities intended to act cautiously as they enforced the arrest warrant "because no federal agency wants any copies of Ruby Ridge or Waco."[7]
But Nixon added, "Obviously, at some point, we'll effect the arrest."[7]
On his Web site, however, he called summonses "unconstitutional" and "unlawful" because the federal government has no jurisdiction in Arizona "except over land that was ceded to the United States by the State Legislature."[7]
In the 1990s Cooper's interest moved from UFOs, to covert government programs and the militia movement. In June 2001 he warned publicly about an important terrorist attack on United States of America that would be blamed on Osama Bin Laden.[8]
Death
By 1998 Cooper was living in Arizona. He was wanted for tax evasion.[9][10] Another warrant was issued for "aggravated assault with a deadly weapon" against a local doctor shortly before his death.[9] On his website, Cooper wrote that any attempt to execute "unlawful" arrest warrants "will be met with armed resistance."[9]
In July and September 2001, Cooper was accused of brandishing a handgun to threaten passersby near his home in Eagar, Arizona.[10] Just before midnight on November 5, 2001, officers of the Apache County Sheriff's office converged on Cooper's homestead to arrest him on a warrant arising from the threat complaint.
Trying to avoid a violent confrontation and potential siege with a man rumored to be unstable and armed, the team used subterfuge to lure Cooper out of his home in the middle of the night. Officers pretended to be rowdy trespassers on the edge of Cooper's rural property, blaring rock music and making other festive sounds until Cooper came out to investigate.[citation needed]
According to police accounts, when the deputies identified themselves, Cooper fled back toward his house, drew a handgun, and began shooting. One deputy was shot in the head and was hospitalized in critical condition.[10] Another deputy returned fire, killing Cooper.
Quotes
 |
- "What happens when you broadcast the truth is you piss everyone off!"
- "No one becomes popular by telling people the truth. History records what happened to the true prophets of the past. However, some have listened to their warnings and were not caught off-guard. Others have put their heads in the sand and refused to listen. They have died."
- "There has been a plan in effect since at least 1917 to create, create, an artificial Extraterrestrial threat to the planet Earth, so as to bring about a one-world, Luciferian Totalitarian socialist government. This Extraterrestrial propaganda has been promoted through movies, through books, in the newspapers; so as to create the idea in the public mind that this phenomena related to Extraterrestrials is real and that the threat is real."
- We always know, we always know, which is the right way to go, and which is the wrong way to go. Sometimes, the wrong way is easier to go, or more satisfying, and so we choose that way instead of the right one and we justify it with complicated wordplay and such; but we are only kidding ourselves.
