PART 15

Unknown to just about everybody, a secret American/Soviet/alien
space base existed on the dark side of the moon. By the early
1960s human colonies were thriving on the surface of Mars. All
the while the naive people of the earth were led to believe the
Soviets and the Americans were something other than the closest
allies. But Cooper's story got even more bizarre and byzantine.

He claimed that in 1963, when President Kennedy found out some
of what was going on, he gave an ultimatum to MJ-12: get out of
the drug business. He also declared that in 1964 he would tell
the American people about the alien visitation. Agents of MJ-12
ordered his assassination. Kennedy was murdered in full view of
many hundreds of onlookers, none of whom apparently noticed, by
the Secret Service agent driving the President's car in the
motorcade.

In 1969, reported Cooper, a confrontation between human
scientists and aliens at the Dulce laboratory resulted in the
former's being taken hostage by the latter. Soldiers who tried to
free the scientists were killed, unable to overcome the superior
alien weapons. The incident led to a two-year rupture in
relations. The alliance was resumed in 1971 and continues to this
day, even as a vast invisible financial empire run by the CIA,
the NSA and the Council on Foreign Relations runs drugs, launders
money and encourages massive street crime so that Americans will
be susceptible to gun-control legislation. The CIA has gone so
far as to employ drugs and hypnosis to cause mentally-unstable
individuals to commit mass murder of schoolchildren and other
innocents, the point being to encourage anti-gun hysteria. All of
this is part of the plot, aided and abetted by the mass media
(also under the secret government's control), to so scare
Americans that they will soon accept the declaration of martial
law when that happens, people will be rounded up and put in
concentration camps already in place. From there they will be
flown to the moon and Mars to work as slave labor in the space
colonies.


The conspirators already run the world. As Cooper put it, "Even
a cursory investigation by the most inexperienced researcher will
show that the members of the Council on Foreign Relations and the
Trilateral commission control the major foundations, all of the
major media and publishing interests, the largest banks, all the
major corporations, the - upper echelons of the government, and
many other vital interests."

Reaction to Lear and Cooper: Whereas Lear had felt some
obligation to name a source or two, or at least to mutter
something about "unnamed sources," Cooper told his lurid and
outlandish tale as if it were so self-evidently true that sources
or supporting data were irrelevant. And to the enthusiastic
audiences flocking to Cooper's lectures, no evidence was
necessary. By the fall of the year Cooper was telling his stories--whose sources were, in fact, flying-saucer folklore,
AFOSI disinformation unleashed during the Bennewitz episode,
conspiracy literature, and outright fiction--to large crowds of
Californians willing to pay $l0 or $15 apiece for the thrill of
being scared silly.

Lear and Cooper soon were joined by two other tellers of tales
of UFO horrors and Trilateral conspiracies, William English and
John Grace (who goes under the pseudonym "Val Valarian" and heads
the Nevada Aerial Research Group in Las Vegas).

Few if any mainstream ufologists took these stories seriously
and at first treated them as something of a bad joke. But when it
became clear that Lear, Cooper and company were commanding
significant media attention and finding a following among the
larger public interested in ufology's fringes, where a claim's
inherent improbability had never been seen as an obstacle to
believe in it, the leaders of the UFO community grew ever more
alarmed.
