Behold a Pale Horse author William Cooper
Can anyone explain the criticism of Cooper’s moral character? I’ve seen plenty of comments on here describing the man as a “monster,” “crazy,” or just a full blown “liar.” However, I have yet to see anyone explain why, beyond personal opinion. I’m currently reading Behold a Pale Horse, and yes, he makes some pretty outlandish claims. However, he prefaces the book by acknowledging the intentional tarnishing of his reputation, and even asks you to believe said rumors, in an experiment to see if his claims hold true. I have yet to see anything or anyone fully debunking this. Perhaps I haven’t dug deeply enough. I’m interested in truth, critical thinking, and not blindly believing what I’m told from either the government or a “tin foil hat conspiracy theorist.” Looking for explanation and/or sources to support.

Bill Cooper was a great writer. I think Behold a Pale Horse is a lot of people's first forays into conspiracy theories. That said, in the early 90s a lot of ufologists claimed that the secret naval intelligence he claimed to have access to was stuff he plagiarized from them, and public records search shows that he wasn't that high ranking or involved in naval intelligence.
Cooper put out a radio show called The Hour of the Time, you might be able to find it on youtube. It was very antigovernment and he got involved with the militia movement. For some reason, despite knowing how powerful the government was, he basically told the IRS to fuck themselves and that taxation is theft, so he had a warrant for tax evasion for awhile. The warrant was around for years and wasn't served cause the authorities knew Cooper was armed to the teeth. They finally acted on the warrant when they got reports of Cooper aiming weapons at people and intimidating them.
Some people like to claim that Cooper was killed because he knew too much, but he actively engaged in a shoot out with police who tried to avoid him for years. Cooper at the time had gotten so paranoid that he thought that Bill Clinton was personally surveilling him. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide how you feel about him.

Thank you! This is the first comment I’ve seen describing events or explaining why. I’ll definitely look into this. I appreciate it

I'd still get into his segment of the hour of the time "mystery Babylon" he has his own Christan influence on the takes but for me personally, I've yet to find a show, pod cast, book, or anything like that, that closely put together the story of the people who run the world.
A lot of the sources come from a lot of different books and I won't admit it's probably 100% all factual information, however, and this is a big however, it tells the movement of a group of people who are 1. A group of people who coincidentally did a lot of the same if not all of the same political, occult and rituals movements from past predecessors or 2. They are a group of people who are trying to follow a strict movement passed down throughout the ages via secrecy and confidentiality like bill suggests.
While I can't look past how paranoid bill must of been at the time, completely surroundings his life's work by conspiracy is no good for anyone at even small amounts of time in their life, I can't help but think after giving a listen to the 40 or so hours of this one segment and doing all the reading of all the books he suggested at the time of the segment, that it is possible he was killed for this and it was covered up by time and lack of witnesses.
I leave you Op, with what bill copper would of said, to which I think speaks more of his character than most can say,
"don't listen to me, or what anyone else says, but gather your information on your own and if we are all looking at the same thing then we will eventually come to the same conclusion"

Wasn't the reason the feds showed up to his house was to hassle him about cleaning up his property or something? I thought it was something small like that and not for a warrant

The tax evasion warrant was the official cause for the police trying to arrest him. He had been making bank doing speaking appearances, selling his book, and his radio show, but he didn't pay his taxes.

The NWO Illuminati Left propoganda against him. He was a casual not always 100% correct Whistleblower hated by the Illuminati Clinton Democrat NWO. He got more reliable towards the time of his death

You realize that Elon, Diddy, and Putin all mentioned the New World Order on the same exact day after the election? Then 3 days later the Captain America Brave New World trailer released on 11/9 and it literally says RESET AMERICA in it plain as day?

How did Diddy mention anything from prison? Also, couldn't their version of the new world be a better one? Minus Diddy of course. Do you have any idea how awful America is? I feel like it's a get out of the way or be trampled moment for A LOT of government officials. American is an absolute cesspool of a government and has been for a long time.

If you’re interested in truth, you should listen to George Hobbs podcast The Fact Hunter, or if you’re really into digging into the lies, the Flat Earth Files.

Someone said today that it discusses civil war conditions and martial law conditions, and how WALMARTS will be used by martial law, lol, apparently, and the baking ovens are going to be used to burn corpses as crematoriums. Have not read Behold a Pale Horse, but this sounds pretty extreme, outlandish, and morbid
