So I have recently been reading through the FBI declassified document on William Cooper. It is an absolutely fascinating look at how the FBI conducts an investigation even if they block out so many things that don't seem to be blocked out for confidentiality reasons, which makes it a little difficult to read.
William Cooper is a somewhat historical figure in the conspiracy world demonstrating how the internet created opportunities for us all to be where we are today. The FBI document frequently references Cooper's work on the internet from the late 90's.
The internet is still a challenging medium to control, so disinformation has become the strategy to control information instead.
It is easy to see from this document that disinformation is a legitimate means of controlling something that cannot be considered a crime. Throughout the case file, despite numerous references to his work in the conspiracy field, the reason for the FBI investigation of Cooper had nothing to do with his work.
FBI was hired on as a consultant for the IRS who was trying to convict Cooper on tax evasion. Throughout their investigation, their sources comments ranged from saying that Cooper wasn't considered a troublemaker in the community and that some people thought he was mentally ill.
Since the IRS sent out warrants for his arrest on the charges of tax evasion, Cooper basically became reclusive and would not leave the house. He made several statements that he would resist an unwarranted arrest because it was not legal to demand that he comply and pay taxes.
Investigations demonstrated that Cooper's home was guarded, he had dogs, and he had guns. So the FBI decided it would be best to address this situation by pretending that there was no investigation being conducted hoping that Cooper would question whether he was under investigation, and leave his house so that they were would have the opportunity to arrest him.
I wonder whether this would have been the approach they took if we didn't have the right to bear arms?
Either way, I have never investigated him before and I am wondering what people think about him?
I know that his work is largely religious in nature so that is why I am creating this thread in the religion section.

Here is a link to his radio show covering the subject of Mystery Babylon that I am particularly interested in.
