Behold a Pale Horse

Reading this type of books is always a very difficult task. It is like waiting at the bottom of the dam, and then trying to inhale all of the information as dam opens up and thoroughly soaks you.

I have a feeling that books of this type need, by design I guess, to contain some contradictions and stuff that would be treated as nuts by majority. But in the middle of all of this there are so many details on things that just make you think - this is the only thing that makes sense but is it possible that such deprived minds exist.

Take for example population control and that penultimate fear of environmental disaster caused by it - this must be fear mongering that same as Iran and nuclear bomb is always two years away for the last six show more decades. Those comments on the El Salvador, engineering the biological means of reducing population ...... this should make every persons blood boil. Social engineering must be declared weapon of mass destruction - it shows its fruit decades later in places like South Korea and Europe. Genocide done through quiet means, by making people do it to themselves through sheer hate of their own species, complete eradication of whole nations silently. Making people believe that life spent fornicating (archaic expression I know but only one I can come up right now), even openly doing it (in other words prostitution but hey now it is empowerment) or living only for work until both male and female are just burned to the ground and next comes into their place ....... all of this people accepted on their own, terrible, terrible things. Praising some doctor who calls for introduction of bio agents for reducing the population and is ready to take the consequences..... that is not bravery, bravery checkup for this sick person is to have their entire family play the roulette with loaded chambers as is the case with all others. One idiotic intellectual is nothing, his legacy though ..... oh, I wonder how he would see his entire offspring in danger. Sickos.

Then MindWars chapter ..... holy sh*t....... this books are nothing but spoilers for the future.

Disturbing book on so many levels .... terrible. Of course, author gets into contradictions of his own - population control needs to be done, but with higher conscience ..... Wtf? If anyone thinks they are surplus, hey buddy so many ways to leave the surplus world and let others who want to live to live. This morbid preoccupation with Armageddon is just sign of how little people actually think. Who is to decide who lives or dies - some bureaucrat, as they call them bean-counter? Or scientist who wants to test some theories but at what cost (just remember the great experiment from couple of years ago - you want those people in control)? Musks, Thiels, and Altmans of the world? And when we are talking about techbros - do check the chapters on digitization of records of people of interest, analysis of behavior and plans on how to handle them. As I said, bloody disturbing.

If humanity can only solve social balance by means of genocide then what does this say about humanity? And I wont even go into discussions on environment - does anyone remember how quickly entire Venice (Italy) area cleared out within weeks of the pandemic restrictions? Weeks! As I said, same as Iran and nuclear bomb, humanity is constantly 2 weeks away from destruction for the last century. It is industry, industry of tension and fear, because they need people looking everywhere than where they are supposed to be looking.

I agree with the sinister role of the secret societies - these are nothing else but degenerates with money and means who think they have right to control others. These are international elites and they are greatest danger at the moment because they actually influence real world politics and events. And of course they are everywhere - that chapter on Federal Reserve counter system that is based on actual value and not debt. Now that was weird af, but no wonder it was cut in its roots.

I finally learned why UN is looked upon with such anger in US, and I agree with general sentiment - imagine supranational organization's laws and agreements superseding national laws and agreements because ..... well just because. Isn't it ironic that post 1990 US basically hijacked this entire system for their own purposes to enlighten the west, as a matter of fact removed UN completely and instantiated itself as the same power over other nations - be it our way or no way for thee? Wild.

Of course, usual assortment of UFOs, aliens .... it needs to be there. Same as Icke's books, after sociopolitical discussion and critique, suddenly we go to the lizard men and their control of our world. And majority of people go oh this is batsh*t crazy and they overlook other things given here. As I said this is almost constant feature in this types of books. And to do this is to do these people great disservice.

Very disturbing book, looks more like collection of newspaper articles, photocopies (in same cases of photocopies), sometimes contradicting indictments and final conclusions so it might look disorganized. But when you go through it ..... you will see some things that were just starting up then and what they evolved into. It is highly patriotic (with some parts being ....... weirdly (?) not so) and this gets annoying at times for foreigners I guess (like me) - but hey this was at the peak of anti-Communism movements (that author also identifies as distraction, but then again does not want to go full throttle in this area).

Recommended, but have coffee nearby and be mentally ready to read it fully without skipping anything. If anything I stopped laughing at these books for years now, these are just spoilers for future events. And as for the aliens - in light of the morons currently running powerful companies and nations, having interstellar medusas planning to enslave us sounds almost normal, casual Friday. Who knows.... I am more scared with what walks and originates from Earth ...... show less

like many conspiracy theorists, he understands well that a lot of things r wrong w the contemporary world

parts of his analysis r even insightful and prescient! like his outline of the relationships bw theoretical physics and economics and governance, and his insight that there is some relationship bw the US government, AIDS deaths, and government racism/homophobia

but his emphasis on UFOs, mystical secret societies, and the Rothschild's model of international banking (which in '91 had no longer been operative for nearly a century) is dangerous, unethical, and reactionary; it distracts readers from actually liberatory concerns and paths of action

The mad ramblings of a conspiracy theorist-- from Illuminati to extraterrestrial aliens, this book has it all: government-designed diseases, bases built on the moon, a plot to abolish the United States constitution, mind control, underground cities, satanic cults, and, eventually, the enslavement of the human race. Wake up, sheeple! Or don't... because this guy was a nut job. Equal parts entertaining and insane.

I always felt that something in the world wasn't right. That it didn't make sense. That there was more going on than we were being told. This book laid it all out for me. While I had already begun to awaken to the fraudulent nature of government and religion and authority at quite an early age, this book really got down to the mechanics of it. I have since moved on to more verifiable material as I've matured. The truth really is out there if you are willing to do the research. The whole point of secrecy and conspiracy is to keep the truth from being proven out in the open, isn't it? Circumstantially, there is a case but no hard evidence. Even if you don't believe in the authenticity of the claims and documents in this book (and just for show more the record, Mr. Cooper later recanted most of what he wrote about alien contact, realizing he had been deceived into promoting an agenda), many people wouldn't be able to read "Behold a Pale Horse" and look at the world around them afterward the same way ever again. A must read for those who want to exit the Matrix. It must be stressed, though, that as Bill repeatedly said on his radio broadcasts, "don't believe anything unless you can prove it with your own research." show less

I’d recommend this book because it’s fascinating to anybody with an interest in American government. Even if you don’t agree with William Cooper’s ideas (and I certainly didn’t agree with many of them), it’s an interesting read and an excellent jumping-off point for additional research of your own.

I initially picked up this book because I love reading about UFOs, and I was interested in reading about them from the perspective of an “inside” man. In that respect, I was disappointed, only because I feel the description on the back of the book misrepresented what it was about. Basically, this is a book positing Cooper’s theory that the Illuminati control the world (although there are many other things in it as well, UFOs show more included).

It’s hard to take this book seriously because of the poor writing, disorganization, and slightly underhanded comments scattered throughout the text. I think I would have enjoyed this so much more (and it would have been more credible) had the research been well-organized and rational, without Cooper’s numerous ad hominem mini-diatribes directed at those who do not share his views.

If you’re really interested in this subject matter, I’d recommend this book simply because William Cooper is a fairly prominent figure in conspiracy theory, and familiarity with his beliefs can’t be a bad thing, especially if you’re like me and enjoy doing your own research after reading a book. At the very least, it will make you think -- and if you’re a diehard skeptic, you’ll enjoy rolling your eyes at it. show less

Outdated but worth a read. I wonder what the author would have to say in 2024.

This book was very hard to follow. The information was clear but following where the author was going was difficult. Great Conspiracy book.
