Re: Bill Cooper

Mr. Cooper was an enlisted man in the military; not being an officer, he was never privy to any top secret information, his grandiose self-promotion in his own book notwithstanding.

He was also a horrible drunkard; the night he got shot by a sheriff's deputy, he had been drinking. Personally, I believe the deputy's account of that night, because he was a local cop, not some "men in black" assassin. Cooper was ordered to freeze in his own doorway, and instead OF DOING SO, Cooper tried to reach for a weapon he had standing up, right inside the doorway.

While he was alive, he made a complete fool of himself about 10 years ago on the A-albionic forum, claiming that moderator Lloyd Miller (Peter McAlpine) was an agent of the government. Every conspiriologist who was on that forum at that time recognized Cooper as a fool and/or a blowhard; myself included.

The Report From Iron Mountain -- a report that the credulous Cooper swallowed, hook, line, and sinker -- was actually a literary hoax, which the real author (I disremember his name, right now: perhaps "Levin"?) finally admitted to writing, several years after it got into circulation.

Cooper also married an Oriental woman (as his second wife), and fathered a child with her.

Draw your own conclusions about Bill Cooper, muttgirl, but never think that just because someone writes a book, he is automatically some "expert" on his subject. Cooper wasn't any expert on conspiracy theory, IMO. Caveat lector .......,
