Behold a Pale Horse

Summary: Complete Garbage!!
Review: ... I absolutely love the abundance of "this is the whole truth, or at least how I remember it" statements. This book is filled with more oxymorons than credilbe statements. This man was never in Military Intelligence, he was part of the Navy's technical department that dealt with audio and visual aspects. ...

Summary: Cooper's secret message
Review: This book mixes absurdity with some reality, therefore discrediting the reality, the same tactic Cooper accuses others of doing. If you read closely though, Cooper is doing this on purpose in order to appear harmless to those monitoring him. It was the only way that he would be allowed to say some of the real things that were and are happening. On later writings, he recants much of the silliness about aliens. When he states the nonsense about 1+3+3 = 7, he really wants you to read page 133 of HIS book, which talks about FEMA, the core threat to America's future, in his view. Notice how this page is also the 7th page of the FEMA part. (7 listed near page bottom.) The FEMA threat that he warned about is now a reality, in the form of the Emergency Powers Act, instituted after 911.

Summary: Excellent reading material
Review: Great book stating concpiracy theories, that there is a great boogie man called the Illuminati and all of it's secret societies are out to control the whole world through the creation of a one world government, so watch out for it. Actually this is a very good book hard to believe but very entertaining and makes you think maybe the author and all other authors of this type of material are on to somthing.In this book ther are theories upon theories well worth reading about, my favorites are the assination of JFK and that driver had something to do with that, the extraterresrial theories, illumainati theory using religion as a tool for controling the sheeple. The book is filled a whole lot of great information, read this book and learn a thing or two.

Summary: The Majority
Review: Persons with no military experience are easily taken in by such spook stories; to many, 'the military' is some unfathomly vast entity, and each has their own concept that this is some powerful, complex, and unknowable organization.
Likewise for 'the government'. People would have you believe that politicians are proccessed from birth, like suicide bombers, or la Cosa Nostra, with an unbreakable facade presented to 'the public' in order to keep their agenda secret. All these secrets would take tens of thousands of individuals to accomplish and maintain, yet not even one person has ever revealed anything? Even by mistake?
As for the UFO nonsense, I hesitate to waste even one sentence on such foolishness, except that it serves as an accurate indication of intelligence level, akin to those who parade their ignorance under the flag of creationism, declaring the world to be as ignorant as themselves.

Summary: If just one thing in this book is true......
Review: This book at the very least is an interesting read. But, for every valid, rational point, there are an equal number of those that are not. The alien stuff in the book to me is bogus, but like many readers that doesn't bother me and doesn't interest me.The real meat and potatoes is the stuff about secret societies and the dirty dealings our government is involved in. The stuff about FEMA, the United Nations, and The Free-masons is interesting, not to mention the stuff about the pope. Me and my friends all read this book, and we came to the conlusion that if one thing in the book turned out to be true we would have to start believing some of the stuff...so here goes. He writes of a secrect base underneath mountains and rocks, somewhere on the east coast, he calls it mount ridge i believe. Here he says a shadow of our own government exists, congress, president, military etc...and the personel is rotated like every six months or something. Its a self sustaining base with food water etc...Well, after september 11th there was an article in the new york times, guess what it was about. A not-so-super secret base that the president used, or considered using after the terrorist attacks. The base had a different name, and the main reason it was in the news was because they were updating the horribly outdated computers, but none the less..it is true. Also, some comments that cooper writes that the pope made in the 70's or 80's while he visited L.A. (about the pope being able to save souls and to pray to him, not God..something to that effect..) while that was true too, he was quoted in the LA times.
Well, read the book, take what you will from it, its an eye opener you just have to be cautious.

Summary: Some truth, some misdirection.
Review: If nothing else, this book makes you think about socio-political issues. I agree that the print type and editing is somewhat lacking, but I also suppose that Cooper was in a hurry to get this stuff out before something happened to him. I believe that at least two or three major revelations can be picked out of the bulk of the book. It is strange that many things Cooper speaks of in the early '90's seem to be happening now. Even the "all-knowing eye" (supposedly illuminatus-inspired)appears on the latest seal of the IOA (Information Awareness Office) just passed via the Homeland Security Act with the somewhat scary "Scientia es Potentia" motto, which is latin for "Knowledge is Power".... Many things in the book are just suspicious enough to make you research them yourself. The facts that I have checked out so far that were verifiable, have all been solid, but do you own work. If Galileo is able to ignite Jupiter to a star with its plutonium in September, (some physicists I have talked to say it is not out of the question), then I will definitely know that Cooper was on to something major. The main thing to learn from this book is we should always be keeping track of what our government is up to and to not necessarily take things at face value. It is unfortunate that a few silly claims were sited in this book, which tends to discredit it somewhat.

Summary: Patriot or Madman?
Review: This book is undoubtedly the text book for the X-Files ongoing sub plot. Chris Carter even quoted a chapter name from Milton Cooper's book for the X-Files feature length movie called "Secret weapons for silent wars". This book has become the mantra for Conspiracy theorists world wide and Coopers claims have somewhat seemed to pass the test of time. Many of Coopers claims have seen some semblance of reality since it was first released in 1991. Was he a visionary or exactly what he claimed...an EX Naval Intelligence Officer..a wise man once said "There is no such thing as coincidence".

Summary: Frightning!
Review: Very scary stuff indeed. I would recommend this book to anyone
seeking the truth on the government and all the hidden conspiracy
theories that are prolonging nowadays. Reading "Behold A Pale
Horse" makes me wish that someone would learn or at least try a
better method of seeking peace and understanding in these horrific days and times. Whether you believe in God or not, best
believe that his power incredible and that if you're not prepared
he will wipe us all off the face of this planet without a trace.
People in high places just remind me of God's wisdom and why
we should never then again we should ask in the right sense to
why he would allow such people with wicked intentions to run
and confuse the world over. This is all a part of his ways.
If you love America, then read this book and learn what you and
i can do to prevent it's downfall if there is still time.
Very insightful, thank you to the late Milton William Cooper
for shedding some light in a close minded world. What a Matrix!

Summary: Laughable
Review: You need to wade through a lot of what is supposed to be official-looking "evidence" to get to the heart of his hypothesis, in Chapter 12, which is an excellent study in total paranoia and the obvious inspiration for The X-Files. So what is it that's laughable? First, there is his statement "Coincidence?" whenever he shows a numerological "connection." He believes that numbers like 3, 7, 13 and 39 are important to the world-ruling, affiliated-with-aliens Bilderburgers, and at one point claims that he read some important information "on page 133 of a book." He follows this by pointing out that 1+3+3=7. ("Do you really think this is a coincidence?") Second, there are the unsubstantiated claims of clandestine U.S.-Soviet meetings in submarines under the North Pole, the presence of advanced U.S.-Soviet colonies on the moon and the disinformation we have received that the moon is uninhabitable (there are clouds and plants on the moon, and it doesn't have a dark side as we have been fooled to believe, but rotates normally). He claims there are all kinds of photographs as evidence of his claims, yet there is only one cheesy b&w photo of Mt. Ranier with a disk above it, complete with motion lines behind it like a cartoon. Finally, there is the outrageous claim that if you watch the Zapruder film carefully you will see that the driver shoots John F. Kennedy. I was so amazed by this that I went and rented a video with the Zapruder film, just to see this footage and how we all could have missed it- It Isn't There! It's so not there it isn't even funny. The book would be a joke if it weren't for the unfortunate libelous claims that President George Bush (Sr.) (and not a president I was fond of, by the way) knowingly approved the distribution of drugs to minorities, that high U.S. officials have made a conscious decision to introduce AIDS and perpetuate drugs so as to kill off "blacks, Hispanics, and homosexuals," and all other kinds of ridiculous conspiratorial crap, at least one of which, the claim that the human race is a result of genetic engineering by aliens, I have heard repeated by the Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan (except he says it's just "white people" who are thus engineered). Do I say, therefore, you should save your money and not buy this book? Well, no. It is entertaining in its earnest foolishness, and you should know what kind of stupidity people are prepared to believe if it fits their idea of "conspiracy in high places."

Summary: Greatest bok ever
Review: When I first picked up this book, I thought it was some lame story. However, I quickly learned that this book was going to make me see things that I never thought of before. Without saying what it was about, I would just like to say kudos to the author, a very insightful book.
