Behold a Pale Horse

Product Information

Cooper had once shown his friend Jacobs the view he had from his two-story house. If federal authorities were to drive up the street leading to his house, Cooper told Jacobs, he had the perfect perch to “snipe” them through the roofs of their vehicles. Glenn Jacobs, the former editor and publisher of The Round Valley Paper, at his property in Eagar on Aug. 19, 2020. this is what the LORD of Hosts says: "I will send against them sword and famine and plague, and I will make them like rotten figs, so bad they cannot be eaten. Jacobson, in his book, quotes Ol’ Dirty Bastard explaining why “Behold a Pale Horse” was important to him. Everybody gets screwed, the rapper said, but Cooper tells you who is doing the screwing. That was, ODB said, “valuable information.” In 1991, Cooper wrote and published Behold a Pale Horse. [5] The book has been influential among "UFO and militia circles". [13] Just prior to the trial of Terry Nichols in 1997, The Guardian described it as "the manifesto of the militia movement". [14]

For many, including those who would later claim that the seemingly endless series of school shootings were part of a plot by gun‐control advocates to take away America’s weapons, Cooper’s words took on the air of prophesy. Cooper's writing holds enduring popularity in hip hop, being referenced by artists including Public Enemy, Tupac Shakur, and Jay-Z. [33]

In the mid-1990s, Cooper would organize an informal militia, though its members were scattered across the US, communicated largely through the mail, and never took any violent action. Through his radio show, Cooper repeatedly pointed out instances of government corruption and called for listeners to make their displeasure known, either through votes, protest, or outright violence. But Bill Cooper never claimed to be a prophet. He never imagined himself in the line of Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and Daniel, the ancient Hebrew seers carried off by King Nebuchadnezzar II to a 70‐year captivity in Babylon. Neither did Cooper compare himself to John, an exile on the island of Patmos, author of the Book of Revelation, which is where the title Behold a Pale Horse comes from. The phrase appears in chapter 6, verse 8, in which John is witness to the opening of the Seven Seals, the preview of God’s secret plan to once again destroy the world prior to its rebirth as the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

They were given power over one-fourth of the earth to kill people using wars, famines, plagues, and the wild animals on the earth. The internet was not yet ubiquitous in the mid-1980s when Cooper started spilling what he said was clandestine information from top secret documents he read as a member of a naval intelligence unit. Cooper’s funeral was sparsely attended, said Hayakawa, who traveled to Eagar for the service. He recalled a contingent of federal agents out front. And behold, a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him.

Dr. Scott Hamblin, a physician in Eagar, had a violent confrontation with Milton William Cooper in 2001. Though, Cooper told readers to mentally edit out the anti-Semitism, saying it was written that way to “deceive people.” He suggested the reader replace “Jews” with “Illuminati” and “goyim” — the term for non-Jews — with “cattle.” Cooper also claimed that the antisemitic conspiracy theory forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was actually an Illuminati work, and instructed readers to substitute " Sion" for "Zion", "Illuminati" for "Jews", and "cattle" for " Goyim". [3] [20] [21] The publisher removed the chapter that was a reproduction of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion document from later printings of Behold a Pale Horse. [22] Kennedy assassinationEAGAR, Ariz. — When authorities killed William Cooper in a burst of gunfire outside his hilltop home in eastern Arizona, he was an author and radio host who had attracted a rabid following among UFO buffs, prisoners and the militia movement. During Osbourne's attempt to cast suspicion on Venables, he takes Miss Marple to spy on Venables' house after dark, where they see him get up from his wheelchair to draw the curtains. (This reinforces Osbourne's false claim to have earlier observed Venables (or an identical double) cosh Fr. Gorman in London.) The final confrontation scene explains that Inspector Lejeune was playing Venables inside the house, hence his ability to walk. The real Venables is indeed paralyzed. William Cooper was the long time host of the radio show "The Hour of the Time," which he broadcast. He died in a shootout with law enforcement in 2001. Barkun, Michael (2003).
