Behold A Pale Horse

"Behold a Pale Horse" by William Cooper is a controversial book published in 1991 that delves into conspiracy theories and government secrecy. Cooper, a former U.S. Naval Intelligence officer, claims to reveal hidden truths about global conspiracies, including the New World Order and secret government operations. The book discusses topics such as UFOs, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and the manipulation of the public through media and technology. It has been both criticized for its speculative content and praised by those who believe in its revelations.

Introduction

The introduction, written by an unnamed author who met Cooper, verifies his credibility and sincerity in exposing societal deceptions. It describes Cooper as someone who has faced opposition and physical risks for sharing truth. Cooper shares his personal creed, emphasizing belief in God, Jesus Christ, the U.S. Constitution, family, and willingness to die for principles. He discusses life events as divine guidance, rejects the idea of fate or accidents, and posits that elites orchestrate global events like a chess game, treating people as pawns. The section warns of an impending New World Order and urges awakening from apathy to prevent civil war, enslavement, or societal destruction, particularly through systems that orphan children and promote welfare dependency. Cooper positions his work as a mission to warn others, believing God placed him in this role.

Foreword

Authored by Cooper, this section humbly positions him as an average person with an important message, disclaiming any desire for hero status or affiliations with organizations, cults, or extremists. He addresses disinformation campaigns labeling him as a preacher, racist, communist, or alcoholic, clarifying his stance on the Constitution, diverse friendships, and family life (including his Chinese wife). Cooper recounts his ancestry (English, Scottish, Irish, possibly Cherokee) and family stories of pioneers and survival. He details his childhood in a military family, exposure to aviation and UFOs, plane crashes, and a strict yet loving upbringing. The foreword covers his military service: enlisting in the Air Force in 1961 (working on bombers and missiles), witnessing the JFK assassination response (DEFCON 2), honorable discharge in 1965; joining the Navy, serving on submarines like USS Tiru (UFO sighting and near-collision), USS Tombigbee (dangers like collisions), intelligence training, Vietnam patrol boat command (engagements, medals, lost friends), and shore duty accessing classified UFO/JFK/secret plan briefings. He mentions going AWOL after learning of the Navy’s alleged JFK role, accidents as assassination attempts, post-military education in photography, 1988 exposure of UFO disinformation, agent harassment, family with wife Annie and daughter Dorothy, and scams by con artists stealing his materials and finances.

Chapter 1: Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars

This chapter presents a purported top-secret 1979 document (discovered in 1986) as the Illuminati’s declaration of war on America, adopted by the Bilderberg Policy Committee in 1954. It outlines a “Quiet War” using subjective biological warfare and silent weapons for social control and genocide, framed as a domestic warfare declaration without morals. The origins trace to WWII Operations Research, advanced by 1946 computers, 1947 simplex methods, 1948 transistors, and funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and U.S. Air Force for economic engineering. Declared in 1954 by elites, it marks the 25th anniversary in 1979 with claimed global victories. Politically, it emphasizes dominance via energy sciences (natural and social), using math for control and viewing the public as ignorant beasts for a predictable economy. It discusses disintegrating lower classes through day-care, poor education, and early yoking to serve elite order. Silent weapons are data-based manipulations causing undetectable damage. Theories include Rothschild’s economic inductance (currency as negative capital inducing wealth surrender) and control via inflation, debt, and war for population reduction. Details cover energy analogies (capacitance=capital, conductance=goods, inductance=services), the Rothschild cycle (promissory notes, scarcity, wars, profits), computing for economic monitoring, electronics/engineering analogies, shock testing via commodity prices, the Harvard Project post-WWII for inflation/war/welfare balance, industrial classifications, household modeling, amplifiers (advertising/game theory), inputs (surveillance/data), outputs (resource/media control), diversion/consent strategies, drafts for modification, family dynamics, and creating a docile public. Cooper notes on authenticity, recognizing elite control, and calls for fighting for freedom.

Chapter 2: Secret Societies and the New World Order

The chapter explores the history and influence of secret societies, starting from ancient groups like the Brotherhood of the Snake/Dragon (worshipping Lucifer as the true God, guarding secrets through initiation rituals and exclusivity). It links to cults (Roshaniya, Mithras, Builders), Freemasonry, and the Illuminati. Coverage includes the Knights Templar (relics like the Holy Grail and Jesus’ robe), ties to Prieure de Sion, Adam Weishaupt’s Illuminati (Rothschild-financed to abolish governments, property, and religions for a Luciferian state), Freemasonry’s alleged Lucifer worship, Illuminati infiltration, and the murder of William Morgan. Modern groups discussed are the P2 lodge, CIA, Vatican, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Trilateral Commission, and Bilderberg (structured in 3 committees of 13, with symbolic numbers like 3/7/9/11/13). It covers U.S. founding links, the JASON Society, Skull & Bones, and Knights of Malta aiming for totalitarian socialism and a New World Order. Degrees of initiation for control, elite leaders (e.g., Skull & Bones) directing policy, and predictions like Jupiter’s ignition as Lucifer’s return are highlighted. Further details include CFR/Knights of Malta influence on U.S. politics (e.g., Bush/Casey), the 1930s Business Plot exposed by Smedley Butler, Vatican Illuminati infiltration, papal bulls against Freemasonry, Knights’ business/intelligence/Pope ties, Bilderberg as Illuminati core, Black Nobility, and Great Seal symbols. Quotes from historical figures and sources on Freemasonry and Black Nobility are included.

Chapter 3: Oath of Initiation of an Unidentified Secret Order

This chapter presents an alleged initiation oath (sourced from a mother’s claim and the 1913 Congressional Record, House p. 3216), possibly linked to the Jesuits or Knights of Malta. The oath swears allegiance to the Pope as Christ’s vice-regent, denounces Protestant and Masonic doctrines, commits to assisting in extirpating heretics, and pledges unconditional obedience to superiors. It vows war on heretics by any means, prioritizes voting for Catholics over Protestants, avoids Protestant dealings, and prepares arms for Church defense. The blood oath includes severe penalties for betrayal. Cooper notes its authenticity based on language and content, leaving judgment to the reader.

Chapter 4: Secret Treaty of Verona

The chapter reproduces the 1822 Secret Treaty of Verona (from the 1916 Congressional Record, Senate p. 6781, and American Diplomatic Code Vol. 2, pp. 1778–1884) signed by Austria, France, Prussia, and Russia (Holy Alliance). It pledges to end representative governments in Europe, suppress press liberty, sustain religious obedience to princes, assist France in restoring monarchies in Spain and Portugal with subsidies, prevent such systems elsewhere, and allow post-war renewals. Senator Owen’s commentary highlights its role in prompting the Monroe Doctrine, opposition to popular government, and suppression of self-government in Europe and the Americas. Cooper notes the Black Nobility’s non-recognition of non-monarchical governments.

Chapter 5: Good-by USA, Hello New World Order

This chapter explains the subversion of the U.S. Constitution through executive actions like National Security Decision Directives (NSDDs), which act as secret laws without oversight. It discusses Executive Orders (e.g., 11490) enabling martial law since the Civil War, and Senate Bill 2834 (1990) granting unlimited covert powers. Examples of NSDDs include secrecy, Nicaragua operations, propaganda, and terrorism responses. Mount Weather is described as an underground parallel government with relocation centers, citizen dossiers (especially on patriots), and FEMA’s role in suspending the Constitution during emergencies. It includes surveillance and civil crisis management, quoting H. Rowan Gaither on a U.S.-Soviet merger under the New World Order.

Chapter 6: H.R. 4079 and FEMA Federal Emergency Management Agency

The chapter warns that H.R. 4079 could enable a 5-year drug war emergency, allowing FEMA to suspend the Constitution and implement Executive Orders (e.g., 10995–11005 consolidated in 11490) for takeovers of media, resources, transportation, health, education, and registration. It includes a transcript of Cooper’s audiotape on FEMA’s secret role, REX-84A tests, and influences from CFR and Trilateral Commission (e.g., Brent Scowcroft). Samuel Huntington’s views on limiting democracy and NSDD 47 on preparedness are cited. Dr. William R. Pabst’s 1979 (updated) report details a lawsuit against DoD concentration camps, EO 11490 for registration and expropriation, military “Garden Plot” operations, National Guard for disturbances, LEAA funding for national police, and psyops. Scenarios include detention camps (e.g., Allanwood PA, El Reno OK) for “enemies.” Parallels to Dachau, UN/WHO mental health suppressing nationalism, Alaska Mental Health Act, anectine experiments for control, evidence from Army manuals (FM 41-10), Geneva Convention for internment, and warnings on apathy leading to tyranny are discussed.

Chapter 7: Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 H.R. 5210, P.L. 100-690

This chapter analyzes P.L. 100-690 (H.R. 5210) as a mechanism for a police state. Titles cover drug coordination, treatment, international control, and user accountability. Concerns include warrantless searches (amended), mass searches and tests for jobs/licenses, $10,000 fines for possession, mental illness/substance studies (Soviet-like), mind control via health programs, world currency control, Treasury over financial records, withdrawal of $100/$50 bills for a cashless society, machine-readable IDs, aircraft/vehicle tracking, CIA/NSA labs for surveillance, FBI jurisdiction expansion, cash transaction reporting, international court study, federal building weapon bans, armed postal authorities, prison expansions with Soviet-like labor, and habeas corpus modifications. Cooper urges verification in libraries.

Chapter 8: Are the Sheep Ready to Shear?

The chapter examines Oklahoma H.B. 1750 (effective Jan. 1, 1991) as a police-state test case, requiring declaration of possessions (guns, coins, furniture, accounts) to tax collectors via bank forms, with 20% penalties for non-compliance or undervaluation. Assessors can enter homes/businesses (warrants if denied), turning renters into taxpayers and aiding gun confiscation. It frames this as a step to eliminate private property under the New World Order, with agency data sharing. Cooper calls for resistance and Constitution restoration, labeling federalism as treason.

Chapter 9: Anatomy of an Alliance

The chapter examines alliances between global powers for a New World Order, arguing no single group (e.g., ethnic, religious, financial) can achieve power alone without unification under the Illuminati or Bilderberg. It dismisses one-group theories as diversions. Post-WWII factors include extraterrestrial threats (real or invented) and extinction risks from overpopulation. The 1941–1955 baby boom doubled world population (1957–1990), threatening collapse by 2000, addressed via cutbacks, growth slowdown, dietary changes, reproduction controls, environmental preservation, space colonization, and consciousness shifts. An alliance formed for implementation through propaganda and mind control. Key events: 1957 Huntsville meeting (Dr. Aurelio Peccei), 1968 The Population Bomb (birth/death solutions like war, famine), 1969 MIT study, U.N. calls for partnership, MK-NAOMI (CIA at Ft. Detrick, H.B. 15090 funding) for diseases like AIDS targeting “undesirables” via vaccines (1977 Africa, 1978–1981 U.S. trials). Haig-Kissinger Depopulation Policy (1975) enforces reductions via aid denial, CIA wars, famine, disease. References Global 2000 Report, Limits to Growth. Examples: Interventions in El Salvador, Iran, Philippines. Claims include Lt. Col. James “Bo” Gritz on control, radioactive tobacco, malathion, heart disease rise, dioxin, germ releases, radioactive leaks, San Francisco cancer linked to MK-NAOMI/ULTRA, nuclear fears for fascist NWO, Protocols authenticity, population calculations, elimination methods (implants, child limits, unproductive elimination, property abolition, controlled religion), planned events (earthquakes, wars, alien landings), camps for nationalists, and Kissinger quote on suffering for a better world.

Chapter 10: Lessons from Lithuania

The chapter analyzes Lithuania as a case study for political and economic manipulations, highlighting resistance, independence, and external influences on sovereignty. It reprints Neal Knox’s article “Lessons from Lithuania,” arguing the Second Amendment protects against government confiscation, citing 1990 Soviet firearm seizures. Comparisons to U.S. proposals (e.g., Graves bill in New Jersey, California’s Roberti-Roos registration, assault rifle bans) question government trust. Notes 1981 Polish martial law voiding licenses. Cooper’s note: Learn from events; distribute chapter; U.S. gun ownership delayed NWO. As of January 8, 1991, <10% of California owners registered, with unreported public burnings.

Chapter 11: Coup de Grace

This chapter details a claimed coup during Nixon’s resignation (confirmed post-1989). It transcribes a phone conversation with Randall Terpstra confirming missing pages in “Operation Majority,” 1970s Navy experiences from Apollo-Soyuz (encrypted messages to “MAJORITY CONTROL,” “IACs” [Identified Alien Craft]), secure transmissions, isolation, promotions. Confirms Nixon-era message rejecting “TOP HAT” (White House) orders. Terpstra shared with Soldier of Fortune, agreed to go public. Discusses National Reconnaissance Organization, Delta Force, Barbara Honegger’s antigravity claims in DESERT ONE, Iran hostage photo anomalies, alien beam weapons, spontaneous combustion, media desensitization to aliens, biblical interpretations. Notes Nixon’s UFO promise and survival (unlike Forrestal).

Chapter 12: The Secret Government

Dated May 23, 1989 (updated November 21, 1990), based on Cooper’s 1970–1973 Navy intelligence access. Hypothesizes MJ-12 origins: Post-WWII, 16 crashed craft/65 bodies (1947–1952) led to Projects SIGN, GRUDGE, BLUE BOOK; Blue Teams to Alpha under POUNCE. CIA for alien matters via NSC memos (NSC-4/4A/10/1/10/2) for ops. Forrestal’s opposition led to “suicide.” EBE from 1947 Roswell provided “Yellow Book,” died 1952, inspiring SIGMA/NSA. Bilderberg (1952) for coordination. Eisenhower: 10 crashes; MJ-12 with Rockefeller. 1953 spaceships; PLATO landings; 1954 Edwards treaty with “Krlll” (tech exchange, abductions, bases in Four Corners/Area 51). REDLIGHT/SNOWBIRD; Delta security. Secret fund for facilities. MJ-12 via 5412 (Rockefeller, Dulles, CFR/JASON). 1955 violations (mutilations) led to NSC-5412/2, Quantico (Kissinger/Brzezinski); disclosure risks collapse. Alien claims: Genetic/religion manipulation. Weapons: JOSHUA/EXCALIBUR. Fatima confirmed aliens. 1957 symposium predicted 2000 destruction; JASON alternatives: Nuclear ozone, underground cities, Moon/Mars colonies; control via AIDS-like microbes targeting groups. 1959 Rand on construction. CIA drugs from Bush; JFK assassination by driver Greer (Zapruder cover-up); U.S.-Soviet bases; alien tech; disinformation by Lear, Moore, Friedman (CIA); mind-control (Orion); martial law/camps/NWO under Bilderberg; deception since Eisenhower.

Chapter 13: Treason in High Places

The chapter argues the U.N. Treaty and Participation Act (1945, Article VI) supersede U.S. sovereignty. The U.N. Charter (drafted by CFR like Hiss/Pasvolsky) grants General Assembly power via “Uniting for Peace” overriding U.S. laws (e.g., civil rights, agriculture, labor). Cites 1955 Carl B. Rix on treaty powers enabling unlimited legislation. Marilyn R. Allen letter: Treaties as unconstitutional treason (violates oaths, Article III Section 3); calls for U.N. withdrawal to restore sovereignty.

Chapter 14: A Proposed Constitutional Model for the Newstates of America

Drafted by the Center for Democratic Studies (10+ years, $25M taxpayer-funded). Preamble: Supreme law until expiration. Article I (Rights/Responsibilities): Freedoms (expression, privacy, no discrimination); duties (service, democracy, non-violence, environment). Article II (Newstates): Population-based divisions, governors, taxes, police, no treaties without approval. Article III (Electoral): Overseer for elections, party recognition, public funding. Planning Branch: 6/12-year plans, budgets. Presidency: 9-year term, VPs, chancellors (treaties, appointments, emergencies). Legislative: Senate (advisory, emergency, Watchkeeper); House (taxes, budgets, commerce, education). Regulatory: Boards for corporations, standards. Judicial: Principal Justice over courts; ethics. General: Citizenship, acquisitions. Governmental: Offices, protections. Amendment: Proposals/referendums. Transition: Boundaries, phasing out old structures.

Chapter 15: Protocols of the Elders of Zion

Cooper reproduces the forged Protocols (early 1800s) as evidence of conspiracy, noting to replace “Zion” with “Sion,” “Jews” with “Illuminati,” “goyim” with “cattle.” The 24 protocols from secret meetings advocate force over morality, exploiting liberalism to destabilize governments, gold/capital control, press/education manipulation for discord, economic crises/monopolies, undermining faith/aristocracy, centralizing power in super-government, despotic rule after eroding structures via wars (no gains), anarchy. Details: Loans/interest/speculation/industry/luxury to impoverish; armaments/police; intrigue/press; dictatorship disguised; redefine freedoms; suppress opposition via education/media; eliminate religions for Mosaic-based; reorganize universities for obedience; reform laws for state loyalty; secret societies (Freemasonry); surveillance/punishment; reporting/petitions, discredit crimes; financial system (progressive taxes, no foreign loans, population-based money); secrecy, manipulation, gradual implementation to absolute power under king from David’s seed; promote humility (reduce luxury, prohibit drunkenness); select/train kings.

Chapter 16: The Story of Jonathan May

Affidavit “Telling Time” (July 27, 1990): British entrepreneur inherited 999-year trust (1647, Charles I); Sovereign Charter Trust Group (4,000 sub-trusts for tax sheltering). Developed Reconomy System (interest-free credit/grants via gold/silver, 517,000 acres) issuing private notes outside Federal Reserve. Acquired bank; arrested July 3, 1986, for false securities (checks). Claims illegal arrest/trial/10-year sentence to protect Federal Reserve fraud; involves Trilateral Commission, oil manipulations, U.S. debt; seeks release. Links to Appendix G (Kurzweil vs. Hopkins on fraud with trusts, notes, Reserve interference, seizures for alternative currency).

Chapter 17: Documentation: U.S. Army Intelligence Connection with Satanic Church

Provides 1970s–1980s memos/letters/reports: 1978 memo on Michael Aquino’s Temple of Set (Satanist split from Church of Satan); Aquino’s clearance/founding; investigations into occult in psyops; concerns over Satanism in Army, rituals, security risks.

Appendix A: William Cooper’s Military Service Record

Official U.S. Air Force/Navy records from the 1970s Vietnam era, detailing service as a petty officer in riverine forces, intelligence, and patrol boats; assignments, ranks, awards (Navy Achievement Medal, Good Conduct Medal), performance evaluations, medical notes, and honorable discharge in 1977.

Appendix B: UFOs and Area 51

Compiles UFO information and Area 51 (Groom Lake) secrecy, including government cover-ups, sightings, and extraterrestrial tech. Declassified memos from Joint Chiefs/Defense Intelligence Agency on 1989–1990 Belgian triangular craft sightings with radar and eyewitness accounts. Cooper’s narrative covers crashes (e.g., Roswell), MJ-12, Eisenhower alien meetings, and military responses, connecting to Chapter 12 on alien craft, treaties, and bases.
