 Oh I just realized you are referring to Bill Cooper, the uber-kook, who in a 
 fit of paranoid hallucination, started firing a rifle at people who just 
 happened to be driving by his house.  When they reported the incident to the 
 police, the police went around to old Bill's house to pick him up and he 
 subsequently ran out with pisols blazing, and was gunned down immediately. 
 Here's hoping you're next, loser!  Bill Cooper a 'Navy Intelligence Officer' 
 GUFFAW!  That's like saying you're not a complete idiot - absolutely 
 ludicrous. 
  
 Here's skepdic's entry on Cooper, from the Paranoid Conspiracy Theorist 
 entry: 
  
 Milton William "Bill" Cooper 
  
 Cooper was a leader of the Arizona militia movement until his death in a 
 shootout with a sheriff's deputy. Cooper opened fire on the deputy when he 
 tried to issue a warrant for assaulting his neighbor. Cooper wrote The 
 Secret 
 Government: a Covenant with Death - The Origin, Identity, and Purpose of MJ- 
 12, 
 a paper given in Las Vegas at a MUFON meeting in 1989 focusing essentially 
 on 
 his belief of a cover-up of an alien crash at Roswell. He also wrote Secret 
 Societies/ New World Order. He claimed that he got his information "directly 
 from, or as a result of my own research into the TOP SECRET/MAJIC material 
 WHICH I SAW AND READ between the years 1970 and 1973 as a member of the 
 Intelligence Briefing Team of the Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet." 
 (PCTs seem to like to use CAPS for EMPHASIS.) Cooper's veracity about his 
 career in the Navy and his access to secret documents has been questioned 
 publicly on alt.alien.visitor, as have other aspects of his personality. 
 Cooper 
 ran williamcooper.com, a site which promoted his many rants, including an 
 autobiographical page that might be of interest to certain mental health 
 professionals. 
  
 Cooper's "investigations" uncovered the usual conspiracies, although he also 
 included some of the new ones such as the conspiracy to use AIDS to thin out 
 the population of blacks, Hispanics and homosexuals, a notion he put forth 
 in a 
 book called Behold a Pale Horse. What Cooper lacked in hard evidence he 
 oversupplied in detail and imagination.

 The fact that 'Irish.Eyes' is even willing to consider that 'half of 
 Cooper's 
 BS might be true' just goes to show that Irish Eyes is a mental retard.
