I remember devouring his book one strange summer--that same summer I had a landmark experience officially surmised to have "probably been a temporal lobe seizure"--it was also the same summer the first Matrix came out...<BR/>Lots of interesting and provocative stuff in Cooper's book--the stuff on FEMA and other little-publicized laws and executive orders (such as Reagan's executive orders allowing for setting up of what are essentially concentration camps for use during martial law) is probably the most reliable, as I've read corroboration elsewhere (and that's disturbing enough). On the other hand, there's plenty in the book that lends itself to automatic self-discrediting (e.g. he reprints the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as an appendix, advising the reader to just replace the words Zionists/Jews with "Illuminati" and goyim with "chattel," as if somehow that might clean up this piece of Czarist secret police propaganda). Anthony Hilder is similarly a landmine, and I think, in the end, both of these guys, though they offer(ed) some good information and are/were, to a certain extent, fighting a good fight, also were serving their own narrow, dead-end agenda (my guess is underground rightist-militia, possibly racist, definitely homophobic in Hilder's case), which doesn't make for much more room for "freedom for all" than what the so-called government and the various think tanks and political-financial organizations (WTO/ CFR, etc.) aim for. <BR/>One still has to wonder, though, about Cooper's shoot-out with the feds and subsequent death two months after 9/11...and it could be read a whole lot of ways (self-fulfilling prophecy, etc.)...in the world of spooks and former spooks (which Cooper claimed to be) and conspiracy investigators, things--and people--look quite murky.<BR/><BR/>peace,<BR/><BR/>cadeveo<BR/><BR/>p.s. still making my way through against his-story; against leviathan and it continues to be a phenomenal read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
