PART 13
|
|
|
|
Cooper's Conspiracy Theory: Soon Lear was joined by someone with
|
|
an even bigger supply of fabulous yarns: one Milton William
|
|
Cooper. Cooper surfaced on December 18, 1988, when his account of
|
|
the fantastic secrets he learned while a Naval petty officer
|
|
appeared on a computer network subscribed to by ufologists and
|
|
others interested in anomalous phenomena. Cooper said that while
|
|
working as a quartermaster with an intelligence team for Adm.
|
|
Bernard Clarey, Commander in Chief of the Pacific Meet, in the
|
|
early 1970s he saw two documents, Project Grudge Special Report
|
|
13 and a Majority briefing. (In conventional UFO history, Grudge
|
|
was the second public Air Force UFO project, superseding the
|
|
original Sign, in early 1949 and lasting until late 1951, when it
|
|
was renamed Blue Book. Whereas Sign investigators at one time
|
|
concluded UFOs were of extraterrestrial origin--a conclusion the
|
|
Air force leadership found unacceptable--Grudge, as its name
|
|
suggests coincidentally or otherwise, was known for its hostility
|
|
to the idea of UFOs and for its eagerness to assign conventional
|
|
explanations, warranted or otherwise, to the sighting reports
|
|
that came its way.) Cooper's account of what was in these reports
|
|
is much like the by-now familiar story of crashes, bodies,
|
|
contacts and projects, with some elaborations. Moreover, he said
|
|
the aliens were called "ALFs" (which as any television viewer
|
|
knows, stands for Alien Life forms) and the "M" in MJ-12 is for
|
|
Majority not Majestic. Later he would say he had seen photographs
|
|
of aliens, including a type he called the "big-nosed grays"-like
|
|
those that supposedly landed at Holloman in 1964 or 1971. The
|
|
U.S. government was in contact with them and alien-technology
|
|
projects were going on at Area 51.
|
|
|
|
If this sounded like a rehash of Moore and Lear, that was only
|
|
because Cooper had yet to pull out all the stops. On May 23,
|
|
1989, Cooper produced a 25-page document titled The Secret
|
|
Government: The Origin, Identity And Purpose of MJ-12. He
|
|
presented it as a lecture in Las Vegas a few weeks later. In
|
|
Cooper's version of the evolving legend, the "secret government,"
|
|
an unscrupulous group of covert CIA and other intelligence
|
|
operatives who keep many of their activities sealed from even the
|
|
President's knowledge, runs the country. One of its first acts
|
|
was to murder one-time Secretary of Defense (and alleged early
|
|
MJ-12 member) James Forrestal the death was made to look like
|
|
suicide-because he threatened to expose the UFO cover-up.
|
|
Nonetheless, President Truman, fearing an invasion from outer
|
|
space, kept other nations, including the Soviet Union, abreast of
|
|
developments. But keeping all this secret was a real problem, so
|
|
an international secret society known as the Bilderbergers,
|
|
headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, was formed. Soon it became
|
|
a secret world government and "now controls everything," Cooper
|
|
said.
|
|
|
|
All the while flying saucers were dropping like flies out of the
|
|
heavens. In 1953 there were 10 crashes in the United States
|
|
alone. Also that year, astronomers observed huge spaceships
|
|
heading toward the earth and in time entering into orbit around
|
|
the equator. Project Plato was established to effect
|
|
communication with these new aliens. One of the ships landed and
|
|
a face-to-face meeting took place, and plans for diplomatic
|
|
relations were laid. Meanwhile a race of human-looking aliens
|
|
warned the U.S. government that the new visitors were not to be
|
|
trusted and that if the government got rid of its nuclear
|
|
weapons, the human aliens would help us in our spiritual
|
|
development, which would keep us from destroying ourselves
|
|
through wars and environmental pollution. The government rejected
|
|
these overtures.
|
|
|
|
The big-nosed grays, the ones who had been orbiting the equator,
|
|
landed again, this time at Holloman AFB, in 1954 and reached an
|
|
agreement with the U.S. government. These beings stated that they
|
|
were from a dying planet that orbits Betelguese. At some point in
|
|
the not too distant future, they said, they would have to leave
|
|
there for good. A second meeting took place not long afterwards
|
|
at Edwards AFB in California. This time President Eisenhower was
|
|
there to sign a formal treaty and to meet the first alien
|
|
ambassador, "His Omnipotent Highness Krlll," pronounced Krill.
|
|
He, in common with his fellow space travelers, wore a trilateral
|
|
insignia on his uniform; the same design appears on all
|
|
Betelguese spacecraft.
|
|
|
|
According to Cooper's account, the treaty's provisions were
|
|
these: Neither side would interfere in the affairs of the other.
|
|
The aliens would abduct humans from time to time and would return
|
|
them unharmed, with no memory of the event. It would provide a
|
|
list of names of those it was going to take. The U.S. government
|
|
would keep the aliens' presence a secret and it would receive
|
|
advanced technology from them. The two sides would exchange 16
|
|
individuals each for the purpose of learning from and teaching
|
|
each other. The aliens would stay on earth and the humans would
|
|
go to the other planet, then return after a specified period of
|
|
time. The two sides would jointly occupy huge underground bases
|
|
which would be constructed at hidden locations in the Southwest.
|
|
|
|
(It should be noted that the people listed as members of MJ-12
|
|
are largely from the Council on Foreign Relations and the
|
|
Trilateral Commission. These organizations play a prominent role
|
|
in conspiracy theories of the far right. In a book on the subject
|
|
George Johnson writes, "After the Holocaust of World War II,
|
|
anti-Semitic conspiracy theories became repugnant to all but the
|
|
fringe of the American right. Populist fears of the power of the
|
|
rich became focused instead on organizations that promote
|
|
international capitalism, such as the Trilateral Commission, the
|
|
Council on Foreign Relations, and the Bilderbergers, a group of
|
|
world leaders and businesspeople who held one of their early
|
|
conferences on international relations at the Bilderberg Hotel in
|
|
the Netherlands" [Johnson, 1983]. According to Cooper, the
|
|
trilateral emblem is taken directly from the alien flag. He adds
|
|
that under Presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter MJ-12 became known
|
|
as the 50 Committee. Under Reagan it was renamed the PI-40
|
|
Committee.)
