The Noble Lie

From the video's intro: William (Bill) Cooper was a former naval officer, decorated veteran, short wave radio broadcaster and world renound lecturer and author, he was shot and killed November 5th 2001 under suspicious circumstances. This is his story.

"Although the so-called 'moral issues' were raised, in view of the law of natural selection it was agreed that a nation or world of people who will not use their intelligence are no better than animals who do not have intelligence. Such people are beasts of burden and steaks on the table by choice and consent. "

Lately I have been studying the history of "conspiracy culture" and listening to some of the earlier generations of radio and shortwave hosts who raised and nurtured this fascinating little fringe of Americana. As far as I'm concerned, so-called "conspiracy theory" is as American as apple pie..

I am becoming fascinated by this guy, Bill Cooper, and recognize that a great deal of this current crop of conspiracy hosts cribbed almost everything they know from this guy. He started as a member of the UFO study (so-called Ufology) community, but eventually drifted away from that to become very involved with the Militia and Patriot Radio movement. He also brings a clarity of understanding of the occult side of power that is often imitated but rarely duplicated, especially among self-identified "Christian" hosts. Incidentally, he was killed during a tense confrontation with police.
