In his 1970 book, UFOs: OPERATION TROJAN HORSE, John A. Keel wrote the following about the late Albert K. Bender (1921-2016): "When Bender’s account, FLYING SAUCERS AND THE THREE MEN, was first published in 1962, it read like the fantasies of a madman. But now many of the things he described have repeatedly occurred all over the world, and the book deserves a careful rereading.”

In 2020, much the same could be said of the work of the late William Cooper (1943-2001), author of the underground bestseller, BEHOLD A PALE HORSE. Given everything that's occurred since Cooper's death on November 5, 2001, perhaps it's time to re-evaluate Cooper's influence on exopolitics, cinema, science fiction, and American pop culture in general (e.g., Cooper's undeniable influence on music, particularly hip-hop, is not at all well known). To begin, I recommend watching this uncut version of William Cooper's CNN Interview, which was recorded in 1992....

Note: If you want to buy a copy of BEHOLD A PALE HORSE, you should go out of your way to get your hands on an edition published before May of 2018. The cheaper version of BEHOLD A PALE HORSE now being sold by Light Technology, the original publisher, has been inexplicably edited and pared down to 434 pages. The version I own (purchased in 1993) is exactly 500 pages and includes material left out of the current edition. This pre-2018, 500-page version of BEHOLD A PALE HORSE is available from Powell's Books in Portland, Oregon.

"Long before anyone was talking about the red and blue pills of The Matrix, Bill Cooper was warning of mass social engineering on the part of the New World Order. 'In a study of mind control and psychological warfare, ladies and gentlemen,' Cooper said, 'it is not enough to simply review the latest technology of coercion, the most recent gadgetry of techno-junk littering the depths of government supply depots and so-called cults. Far more dangerous than these appliances is the praxis behind them. An ages-old underground current informs the modern project in this modern era; life in our modern era is little more than life in an open-air mind-control laboratory.'

"Who is 'the modern man,' Cooper asked. 'He is the smartest, most advanced individual to ever strut the planet, the most relatively liberated being in history. He scoffs with great derision at the idea of the existence and operation of a technology of mass mind control emanating from the mass media and government. Modern man believes he is much too smart to believe in anything as superstitious as that. But the truth is, modern man is the ideal hypnotic subject.'"
