**FINAL TRANSCRIPTION**
=====================================================

Good evening, and welcome to the Hour of The Time. I m your host, William Cooper.

(Opening song: [i]Look At All Those Idiots[/i]€by Mr. Burns and Mr. Smithers from
the TV Show [i]The Simpsons[/i])

Ah, yes. A nation or world of people who will not use their intelligence are no
better than animals who do not have intelligence. Such people are steaks on the
table and beasts of burden by choice and consent. Do you fit that description? I
certainly hope not. If you do, then it s time to wake up and change it. And if yo
u really want to know in a nutshell what s wrong with this country, go in your bat
hroom and look in the mirror.
[William Cooper does commercial for upcoming appearance (text below)]:

Everybody write this down. Write it down. Monday, March 15th -- that's a Monday
-- March 15th, 8pm to 11, the Lafayette Hotel, 2223 El Cajon Boulevard, San Dieg
o. That s Monday, March 15th, 8pm to 11, the Lafayette Hotel, 2223 El Cajon Boulev
ard in San Diego. I m going to be giving a lecture that night, entitled "The Sacri
ficed King," and I will prove to you, beyond any shadow of any doubt, that John
F. Kennedy was assassinated by the religion known as "Mystery Babylon." Specific
ally, by the arm of Mystery Babylon that calls itself the Scottish Rite of Freem
asonry. I will prove it to you folks.
I want to see you. I want to meet you. I want to shake your hand. I want to see
who my radio audience is. If you re a CAJI (Citizens Agency for Joint Intelligence
) member, I specifically, really, really look forward to meeting CAJI members. Y
ou are my heroes. You are the ones who do the dirty work, who are constantly dig
ging out and sending in information. So if you re a CAJI member, I want to meet yo
u, I want to see you, I want to shake your hand. If you re just a listener to this
show, I still want to meet you. I want to shake your hand. I want to see you. A
nd you re going to want to hear and see what I have to say and show you on Monday,
March 15th at 8pm at the Lafayette Hotel, 2223 El Cajon Boulevard in San Diego,
California. The price of admission is $40. If you re a CAJI member, it s $30. CAJI
members get a 25% discount to this lecture. Sometimes CAJI members get a bigger
discount, but this was all I was able to negotiate with the promoters of this ev
ent in San Diego. By the way, I will be there all weekend. I will be there the 1
3th, 14th and 15th. Actually, I will be there the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th.
I ll have a room at the hotel. If you want to come earlier, I d like to meet you. I d
like to sit down and talk to you. I plan on having some conferences with some go
od people, some patriots, in my room. And you ll get to meet my wife and my little
daughter Pooh. They re both looking forward to meeting you also. So, please, put
it on your calendar. Start saving your money. Make sure that you are there. It i
s important. Now at the same time in this hotel the "National New Age and Truth
About UFOs" conference is going on, so if you are interested and into this nutty
, loony tunes stuff, you might want to come down and go to some of that too. Now
some of these speakers have something to say. Most of them, however, are as nut
ty as a fruitcake, and so is what they say. I know. I ve been to many of these. I ve
talked to these people so many times it s pathetic. I ve sat in and listened to the
m, and you talk about lies and deception and just plain old bullshit (laughs), y
ou hear a lot of it at these conferences. But don t get me wrong folks, because so
metimes it s a lot of fun. I mean, sometimes loony tunes is just fun. Escape from
the real world a little while and listen to some of these people. Most of the le
ctures are free. If you want to go to the workshops, that ll cost you. But most of
the lectures are free. I mean, you sit there all day and listen to these people
, and some of them have something to say. Most of them...most of them belong in
the loony bin, I m telling you right now. My workshop is eight o clock, Monday night
.

[reading from [i]The New World Order[/i], by A. Ralph Epperson]:

"Something s wrong [folks] in America!"

[William Cooper]: Something s really wrong. Something is destroying everything tha
t we ve ever held dear in this country. What is it? Well, if you ve been listening t
o this show, many of you already know what it is. If you ve just been listening to
this show for a little while, you may have some idea, but you re not quite really
sure yet what s going on. Well, I m going to tell you right now it s all about religi
on. Whether you re religious or not, doesn t make any difference. It s all about relig
ion. Whether you believe in God or not, it doesn t make any difference. It s all abo
ut a big battle between good and evil. And most of it, I got to tell you, exists
in the minds of men. Some of it s real. The question is, what s real, what s deceptio
n, what should we be paying any attention to? What is it that s driving us insane?
Yes, something [i]is[/i] wrong in America.

[plays audio of trailer for the 1960 movie, [i]La machera del demonio[/i], a.k.a
[i]Black Sunday[/i]]

"Today s newspapers[, folks,] are full of stories about the rampant rise [of] divo
rce rates; the increasing abuse of children by some parents; increases in the in
cidence of rape; pornography being read by an increasing number of people; more
crimes against property; demands for world government; urgings for national bord
ers to fall; Christian churches being closed because they will not seek licensin
g by the state, etc.[, etc., etc.]"
[William Cooper]: And I could go on and on and on and on and on.
"But [why,] why are these things happening? Why are all of the legacies of the p
ast, the family, national borders, the right to practice any chosen religion, th
e right to private property, amongst other things, under such an attack? Is it p
ossible that there are actually people and organizations who really want to chan
ge the basic order of things?"
[William Cooper]: Well, my regular listeners know the answer to that.
"Clues to the answers to these questions[, folks,] can be gleaned from some comm
ents made by people and organizations that are talking about these wide-ranging
changes in the nature of our lifestyle.
"An Associated Press dispatch on July the 26th, 1968 reported [this]: 'New York
Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller says as President he would work toward internatio
nal creation of "a new world order"...'"
[William Cooper]: And you thought George Bush coined that phrase? Surprise, surp
rise.
"On January the 30th, 1976, a new document called The Declaration of Interdepend
ence was introduced to the American people. [And] it was signed by [124 traitors
:] 32 Senators and 92 Representatives [altogether 124 traitors] in Washington D.
C. and [it] read in part: 'Two centuries ago our forefathers brought forth a new
nation. Now we must join with others to bring forth a new world order.'"
[William Cooper]: And you thought George Bush coined that phrase? Surprise, surp
rise.
"Another individual who has commented is Henry Kissinger, [William Cooper: proba
bly the greatest traitor this nation has ever known,] former Secretary of State.
According to the [i]Seattle Post Intelligence[/i] of April 18th, 1975, Mr. Kiss
inger said: 'Our nation is uniquely endowed to play a creative and decisive role
in the new order which is taking form around us.'
"...George Bush gave the commencement address at Texas A&M University on May 12t
h, 1989, and he used similar words as well. His speech was on the subject of Sov
iet-American relations, and he was quoted as saying, in part: 'Ultimately our ob
jective is to welcome the Soviet Union back into the world order. Perhaps the wo
rld order of the future will truly be a family of nations.'
"Historian Walter Mills maintained that prior to World War I, Colonel Edward Man
dell House, the major advisor to Woodrow Wilson, the President at the time, had
a hidden motive for involving America in the war. The historian wrote [this]: 'T
he Colonel s sole justification for preparing such a batch of blood for his countr
ymen was his hope of establishing a New World Order of peace and security.'"
[William Cooper]: You see how these people fool themselves? (laughs) They always
say that the end is peace and security, a world Utopia. But to get it, they spi
ll more blood than ever has been spilled in history. Each time they try to bring
about their utopia, the blood runs in the streets. They re liars. They re hypocrite
s. They re manipulators, deceivers. They are the worshipers of Lucifer.
"Adolf Hitler, a Socialist, and the head of the German government prior to and d
uring the nation s involvement in World War II, is quoted as saying [this]: 'Natio
nal socialism will use its own revolution for the establishing of a new world or
der.' [William Cooper: Adolf Hitler was a Socialist. "Nazi" means National Socia
lism.] Hitler confided to Hermann Rauschning, the President of the Danzig Senate
, 'National Socialism is more than a religion; it is the will to create superman
.'"
[William Cooper]: And what is the number of the man? 666. You see, in the New Wo
rld Order, only one man will be allowed to live -- the new man, the illumined ma
n, and the number of that man is 666. You will see that number increasingly all
around you. You will also begin to see pyramids increasingly all around you, and
the eye in the pyramid, and the eye alone. And you will see circles with the do
t in the center. And you will see obelisks appearing all over the place. And the
se are not the only signs. There are many, many, many more. They are the signs o
f the religion Mystery Babylon.
"Hitler added this thought: 'Well, yes! We are barbarians, and barbarians we wis
h to remain. It does us honor. It is we who will rejuvenate the world. The prese
nt world is near its end. Our only task is to sack it.'
"Another book on his background quoted his comments that his Nazi...party had a
hidden purpose, one that was not perceived by the world at large. Mr. Hitler was
quoted as saying [this]: 'He who has seen in National Socialism only a politica
l movement has seen nothing.' [William Cooper: For it [i]is[/i] a religion.]
"The Humanist religion issued a manifesto in 1933 stating its beliefs about the
world in general. It took the following position about the need for the wealthy
governments to share their wealth with the less fortunate nations: 'It is the mo
ral obligation of the developed nations to provide -- through an international a
uthority -- ...economic assistance...to the developing portions of the globe.'"
[William Cooper]: Now that is a lie, folks. It means that it's OK for some of us
to lay back and do nothing and reap the rewards of the labor of others. That s so
cialism! That s what it s all about. Communism, socialism...it s the same. And these p
eople, the worshipers of Mystery Babylon, are the original Communists. They [i]a
re[/i] international socialism. They invented it. It is their creation. It is th
eir dream of a world Utopia -- a one-world, totalitarian socialist government.

"The April, 1974 issue of [i]Foreign Affairs[/i], the quarterly periodical issue
d by the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, had an article in it by Richa
rd N. Gardner, the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International
Organizations in the Lyndon Johnson and John Kennedy administrations. [And] he s
tated [this]: 'We are likely to do better by building our "house of world order"
from bottom up rather than from the top down...an end run around national sover
eignty, eroding it piece by piece, is likely to get us to world order faster tha
n the old-fashioned assault.'

"Even the Communist Party is voicing similar thoughts. The [i]People s Daily World
[/i] for Thursday, March 9th, 1989, contained an article written by Angela Davis
. [William Cooper: You remember her?] Those familiar with Ms. Davis will remembe
r that she was the Vice Presidential candidate for the Communist Party a few yea
rs ago. She currently is a member of the National Committee of the Communist Par
ty of the United States [and she] is quoted in the paper as saying: 'One underly
ing effect of anti-communism in this respect is to encourage a certain hesitancy
to embrace solutions which call for deep, structural, socio-economic transforma
tion.'
"Another Communist, Alexei Kovylov, spoke at an evening meeting held at Windstar
, Colorado in August 1985, and gave the participants in attendance a surprise pr
esentation. He spoke about the 12th World Festival of Youth and Students held in
Moscow a few months prior to his lecture. He said: 'There were three programs.
The first was political and dealt with the various issues of peace and disarmame
nt. The second was dedicated to environmental [issues] and to the new internatio
nal economic order.'
"The alleged need for a change in the basic way things are done is consistent wi
th the teachings of the 'Father of Communism,' Karl Marx."
[William Cooper]: He s not really the father of Communism, but it s a name that s been
tagged onto him. You see, he was just a hack writer hired by the Mystery Religi
on of Babylon to write the Communist Manifesto. It was not his idea, but he s reap
ed the benefits of it, if you can call them benefits.
"[But] he co-authored the [i]Communist Manifesto[/i] with Frederick Engels, anot
her hack writer, in 1848. Mr. Marx wrote that the Communists: 'openly declare th
at their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing soc
ial conditions.'
"Nesta Webster, a writer on the subject of conspiratorial organizations in the p
ast, wrote this in her book, entitled [i]Secret Societies[/i]: 'The revolution d
esired by the leaders [of world revolution] is a moral and spiritual revolution,
an anarchy of ideas by which all standards set up throughout nineteen centuries
shall be reversed, all honored traditions trampled under foot, and above all [a
bove all] the Christian ideal finally obliterated.'
"Some of the Catholic Popes in the past have commented on the major changes comi
ng in the future. One such Pope was Pope Pius XI, who wrote the following in 193
7: 'Communism has behind it occult forces for which a long time have been workin
g for the overthrow of the Christian Social Order.'
"One of the Popes who preceded him, Pope Pius XI, oh excuse me, Pope Pius IX, wr
ote this in November, 1846 about the changes that he saw in the future: 'That in
famous doctrine of so-called communism...is absolutely contrary to the natural l
aw itself, and if once adopted, would utterly destroy the rights, property and p
ossessions of all men, and even society itself.'"
[William Cooper]: Now, don t get all worked up about what the Pope says, because t
hey have succeeded now, with this Pope, in putting one of their own upon the thr
one of the Vatican. It had long been their dream, and now it is true. And the ba
ns have been lifted against Catholics joining secret societies. And many of the
hierarchy of the Vatican belong to the secret societies: the Freemasons, Propaga
nda Due ['P2'], etc., etc., etc. You will find an obelisk (chuckles) -- the symb
ol of the phallus, the penis of Osiris -- in the Vatican courtyard. You don t beli
eve me? Go look.
"Another individual who wrote about the future was Dr. José Argüelles of an organiza
tion known as the Planet Art Network. Dr. Argüelles wrote, 'Also implicit in all t
hese events is a call for another way of life, another way of doing things...a r
edistribution of global wealth...in short, a New World Order.'
"[Now,] just what the future society was that these people are talking about was
described, in a brief manner, by Marilyn Ferguson in her book, entitled [i]The
Aquarian Conspiracy[/i]. [And] she wrote [this]: 'The new world is the old ~ tra
nsformed.'
"Another clue about what is in store for the future world was offered by Dr. Jam
es H. Billington, who received his doctorate as a Rhodes..."
[William Cooper]: [i]Rhodes, Rhodes, Rhodes, Rhodes[/i] Scholar. Where have you
heard that before? You have a Rhodes Scholar sitting in the Oval Office right no
w!
"[He] received his doctorate as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, and has t
aught at Harvard and Princeton Universities. He wrote this in his book, entitled
[i]Fire in The Minds of Men[/i]: 'This book seeks to trace the origins of a fai
th - perhaps [i]the[/i] faith of our time. What is new is the belief that a perf
ect secular...order will emerge from the forcible overthrow of traditional autho
rity.'"
[William Cooper]: You hear that? They believe a perfect, secular order will emer
ge. Nothing perfect will ever emerge from the minds of imperfect men, and no men
will ever be ruled by other imperfect men in any kind of a perfect Utopian orde
r, secular or otherwise. That is why we must be eternally vigilant...eternally v
igilant.
"That these future changes would involve force and slavery was confirmed by B.F.
Skinner, chairman of the Psychology Department at Harvard University, in his bo
ok, entitled [i]Beyond Freedom and Dignity[/i]. Dr. Skinner has been called '...
the most influential of living American psychologists' by [i]Time[/i] magazine.
So the world should listen to the professor when he speaks. The magazine told th
e reader what the message of Professor Skinner s book was: 'We can no longer affor
d freedom, and so it must be replaced with control over man, his conduct, and hi
s culture.'
[William Cooper]: Not long ago in the [i]Los Angeles Times[/i] there was an arti
cle called "Ten Forecasts for the Coming Decade," and one of these was chemical,
or electronic, implants to control individual behavior on a twenty-four hour ba
sis.
"Another student of these changes is Alvin Toffler, who wrote this in his book,
entitled [i]The Third Wave[/i] [William Cooper: and you should read everything h
e s written, by the way, because what he s writing is what is coming]: 'A new civili
zation is emerging in our lives...This new civilization brings with it new famil
y styles, changed ways of working, loving and living; a new economy; new politic
al conflicts; and beyond all this an altered consciousness as well. The dawn of
this new civilization is the single most explosive fact of our lifetimes.'
"Another scientist involved in commenting upon the future changes was Dr. Carl S
agan [and he s] observed [this]: 'It s clear that sometime relatively soon in terms
of the lifetime of the human species people will identify with the entire planet
and the species...'
"[Now] the reason[, folks,] why these changes are necessary was explained by Man
ly P. Hall, perhaps the world s leading authority on esoteric words and language.
[William Cooper: He was a 33rd degree Freemason.] He wrote in his book, entitled
[i]Lectures on Ancient Philosophy[/i]: 'The time has not yet arrived when the a
verage man is strong enough or wise enough to rule himself.'
"And he explained who he considered worthy enough to rule those on the world con
sidered by the experts to be incapable of governing themselves. He wrote this: '
Never will peace reign upon the earth until we are ruled by the fit.'"
[William Cooper]: And who is the fit? (laughs) Why, them of course -- the illumi
ned, the priests of the Mystery Religion of Babylon.
"Mr. Hall even indicated that these changes would occur soon. He wrote this comm
ent in his book previously cited: 'One hundred years ago [meaning in 1884 [folks
]] it was predicted that within a few centuries men would revert to the gods of
Plato and Aristotle...We may all look forward with eager anticipation to that no
bler day when the gods of philosophy once more shall rule the world...'
"Aldous Huxley in his book, called [i]Brave New World Revisited[/i], quotes a ch
aracter called the Grand Inquisitor in one of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevski s par
ables as saying [this]: 'In the end they [the people] will lay their freedom at
our [the controllers'] feet and say to us, "Make us your slaves, but feed us."'
"The [i]Tucson Citizen[/i] newspaper of November the 3rd, 1988 printed a photogr
aph of a group of people involved in a 'march for literacy,' and it clearly demo
nstrated that at least some people in America are now asking their government to
make them their slaves. The picture showed a demonstrator carrying a picket sig
n that read: 'Uncle Sam, we want you to support us.'
"Mr. Huxley gave us a date when we could expect these changes to occur. He wrote
the following in his book, written in 1958: '...The twenty-first century...will
 be the era of World Controllers.'
"And then he told us why these controllers would not fail: 'The older dictators
fell because they could never supply their subjects with enough bread, enough ci
rcuses, enough miracles and mysteries. Under a scientific dictatorship education
will really work ~ with the result that most men and women will grow up to love
their servitude and will never dream of revolution. There seems to be no good r
eason why a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown.'
"Someone who might have given the world the date for the commencement of these p
redicted changes was Zbigniew Brzezinski, [a Marxist and] President Jimmy Carter s
National Security Advisor during his four year administration. [And] he wrote t
he following in his book, entitled [i]Between Two Ages[/i] [William Cooper: by t
he way, you should read every book that he s every written...you will be angered]:
'Either 1976 or 1989 -- the two hundredth anniversary of the Constitution -- co
uld serve as a suitable target date for culminating a national dialogue on the r
elevance of existing arrangements, the workings of the representative process, a
nd the desirability of imitating the various European regionalization reforms an
d of streamlining the administrative structure.' [William Cooper: And it did beg
in exactly when he said it would.]
"So, the people of the world can now determine what those changes are that those
in the positions of implementing changes have in store for them. In summary, [f
olks,] these changes are:
"The old world is coming to an end. It will be replaced with a new way of doing
things. The new world will be called the 'New World Order.' This new structuring
will re-distribute property from the 'have' nations and will give it to the 'ha
ve not' nations. The New World Order will include changes in the family...the wo
rkplace...religion.
"The United States will play a major role in bringing it to the world. World war
s have been fought to further its aims.
"Adolf Hitler, the Nazi Socialist, supported the goal of the planners. The major
ity of the people will not readily accept 'the new world order' but will be dece
ived into accepting it by two strategies:
"1. Those in favor of the changes will have become seated in the very thrones of
power, generally without the public realizing that fact [William Cooper: and th
is has already occurred].
"2. The 'old world order' will be destroyed piece by piece by a series of planne
d 'nibbles' at the established format.
"The Communist Party is actively supporting the changes to the 'new world order.
' The basic tenets of Christianity, which were the base for the 'old world order
,' will have to be eliminated.
"If the slower, methodical techniques of change do not function, violence will b
e introduced and controlled by the planners [William Cooper: including, possibly
, a World War III using atomic weapons]. The people of the world will give up th
eir freedom to the 'controllers' because there will be a planned famine, or some
other serious occurrence such as a depression or war.
"The change to the 'New World Order' is coming shortly[, folks, and it has alrea
dy begun]. However, if that is not the [case], it will be introduced, one step a
t a time, so that the entire structure will be in place by the year 1999."
[William Cooper]: We ve got to take a short break. Don t go away, folks. I ll be right
 back after this very short pause.

(break music: audio of trailer from the 1959 movie, [i]The Mummy[/i])

[continuing reading from [i]The New World Order[/i], by A. Ralph Epperson]:

"[Yes folks,] something is indeed wrong in America! And many sense that changes
in this nation s lifestyle are occurring."
[William Cooper]: Most of us know full well that these changes are taking place.
"The newspapers are saturated with articles reporting the activities of those ad
vocating increased governmental spending for a variety of unconstitutional purpo
ses; organizations supporting a globalism concept urge the world to adopt a one-
world government; psychologists preaching the destruction of the family unit and
recommending that the society rear the nation s children; governments closing pri
vate schools; and nations forming regional governments under which national bord
ers are scheduled to disappear."
[William Cooper]: And, still, the sheeple think that all of this is happening by
accident, and any concept that it is being brought about by a carefully orchest
rated plan is the product of crazy conspiratorialists (mmm-hmm).
"Since these changes appear to be part of the new philosophy known as 'the new w
orld order,' anyone desiring to know the future has to become familiar with this
new phrase and what it portends for the world of tomorrow."
[William Cooper]: And you will quickly see that is the result of a well-thought
out, well-conceived, and well-orchestrated plan. Indeed, it is called the "Great
Work."
"As an indication that major changes are coming in tomorrow s world, one of the cu
rrent trends mentioned is the call for a 'one-world government'. [And] one of th
ose supporting this leap forward is Norman Cousins, President of the World Feder
alist Society. And he is on record as saying [this]: 'World government is coming
. In fact, it is inevitable. No arguments for it or against it can change that f
act.'"
[William Cooper]: And I say, that is a lie. Two hundred and forty million Americ
ans standing up in concert with each other, holding a rifle in their hands, can
stop it instantly in its tracks. And that s the truth of why we were given the 2nd
article and amendment to the Constitution. It has nothing to do with hunting or
preserving your private property. It has to do with preserving our freedom.
"The goal of a one-world government[, folks,] is not a new thought. One of the e
arliest formal organizations that supported the concept of that goal was the Ill
uminati, founded on May 1st, 1776, by Adam Weishaupt [William Cooper: a Jesuit p
riest, a professor at Ingolstadt University, a Jesuit university, a teacher of C
anon Law]...Professor Weishaupt was quoted as saying [this]: 'It is necessary to
establish a universal regime and empire over the whole world...'"
[William Cooper]: Now, let me tell you the truth about the Illuminati. Adam Weis
haupt did not establish the Illuminati, nor did the Illuminati die with Adam Wei
shaupt. Make sure you understand that.
"A more modern organization that supports the coming changes is the Masonic Orde
r called simply the Freemasons, or [for short] the Masons. [William Cooper: It h
as nothing to do with bricklayers, folks. The term originally comes from the Fre
nch [i]free maçons[/i], which literally means, 'the sons of light.'] This worldwid
e fraternity has members in America, as will be discussed, and they, too, suppor
t a call for a one-world government. One who has written about this secret organ
ization is Paul Fisher, and he says this about them in his book, entitled [i]Beh
ind the Lodge Door[/i]: 'Masonry will eventually rule the world.' (laughs) [Will
iam Cooper: Benevolent fraternal organization?
]
"Albert Pike [William Cooper: and you re going to hear an awful lot about Albert P
ike during this series] the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite of Fr
eemasonry here in the United States from 1850 to 1891 [William Cooper: the man w
ho founded the Ku Klux Klan and B nai B rith] wrote a book, entitled [i]Morals and D
ogma[/i]. [William Cooper: And when and if you can find that book, don t pass it u
p -- buy it and read it.] Mr. Pike has been praised by his fellow Masons as a me
mber almost without parallel in the history of the Masonic Order. [William Coope
r: He was a great friend of Giuseppe Mazzini, the ruler of the European branch o
f the Illuminati.] Carl Claudy, himself a Masonic writer of great esteem, wrote
this about Pike: 'Albert Pike, one of the greatest geniuses Freemasonry has ever
known. He was a mystic, a symbolist, a teacher of the hidden truths of Freemaso
nry.
"So the outsider can know that whenever Mr. Pike speaks he speaks with authority
and knowledge. He is perhaps the greatest Masonic writer of all time [William C
ooper: and I would add, next to Manly P. Hall].
"His book is given to each Scottish Rite Southern Jurisdiction Freemason, who is
asked to read it. (There seems to be a difference of opinion as to whether or n
ot this book is still required reading for each Scottish Rite Mason. [As we were
] told that it was given to each Scottish Rite Mason in Tucson. Other Masons say
that that is not true.)"
[William Cooper]: But you have to remember, they re sworn not to reveal the secret
s of the lodge, and therefore you can never trust them to tell you the truth, no
matter what they re telling you.
"[But in this book, [i]Morals and Dogma[/i], Pike] informs the new Mason about t
he moral teachings of the Masonic Lodge. He instructs the Masonic reader that th
e Order will eventually be asked to rule the entire globe. And he wrote [this]:
'The world will soon come to us for its Sovereigns...and Pontiffs...We shall con
stitute the equilibrium of the universe and be rulers over the masters of the wo
rld.'
"He wrote this supportive statement in a book, entitled [i]Legenda[/i]: 'And thu
s the warfare against the powers of evil that crushed the Order of the Temple go
es steadily on, and Freedom marches ever onward toward the conquest of the world
.'
[William Cooper]: Reference to the Order of the Temple is reference to the Knigh
ts Templars, who were destroyed in concert by King Philip of France and Pope Cle
ment V. And the "powers of evil," referred to in this paragraph, is the Christia
n Church -- the Christian religion, Christianity as a whole.
[William Cooper]: Let me read it to you again, just in case you weren t paying att
ention. "And thus the warfare against the powers of evil that crushed the Order
of the Temple goes steadily on, and freedom marches ever onward toward the conqu
est of the world."
"The Order of the Temple Mr. Pike was writing about was the Knights Templar whic
h was, according to him: 'devoted to the cause of opposition to the tiara [the P
ope s triple crown] and the crowns of Kings.'
[William Cooper]: Well, then, is it any wonder that the King of France and the P
ope crushed the Templars in France? For that is the only place that they were tr
uly crushed.
"Mr. Pike said that the Catholic Church was a 'power of evil' because it had 'cr
ushed' the Templars, even though he admitted that they were 'devoted' to opposit
ion to the Church and its leader, the Pope.
"But the major point of that quote is that these forces of opposition, presumabl
y meaning the Masons, are marching 'onward towards the conquest of the world.' M
r. Pike repeated his devotion to the conquest of the world with this comment at
the end of his book, entitled [i]Morals and Dogma[/i]: 'Such, my Brother, is the
TRUE WORD of a Master Mason; such the true ROYAL SECRET, which makes possible,
and shall at length make real, the HOLY EMPIRE of true Masonic Brotherhood.'
[William Cooper]: Now, all of you Master Masons out there who have been writing
me letters, don t write to me anymore. You are my enemies, and if I can, I will de
stroy you. Don t write to me and profess your innocence, for your own have proclai
med your guilt. And if you are truly innocent, then you are just a foolish dupe,
and you better get out while you can.
"...the major worldwide movement that champions a one world government[, folks,]
under a religious leader, is a new phenomena occurring worldwide called, 'The N
ew Age Movement.'"
[William Cooper]: a creation of Freemasonry. The newspaper put out by the Scotti
sh Rite of Freemasonry is called [i]The New Age[/i].
"Texe Marrs, a researcher into this new religion, has written two books on the s
ubject. Both of these books are excellent primers for those who wish to know mor
e about the beliefs of this religion. The two books are entitled [i]Dark Secrets
of the New Age[/i] and [i]Mystery Mark of the New Age[/i]. He has written: 'The
New Age movement has undeniably taken on the definite form of a religion, [Will
iam Cooper: Of course, because it is Mystery Babylon! He goes on to say] complet
e with an agreed-upon body of doctrine, printed scripture, a pattern of worship
and ritual, a functioning group of ministers and lay leaders.'
"Another writer who has written two books on the New Age religion is Constance C
umbey. Her two books are called [i]The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow[/i] and [i]
A Planned Deception[/i]. She has written this: 'The New Age movement is a religi
on complete with its own Bibles, prayers and mantras, Vatican City/Jerusalem equ
ivalents, priests and gurus, born-again experiences (they call it rebirthing ), spi
ritual laws and commandments, psychics and prophets, and nearly every other indi
cia of a religion.'
"The new religion has a series of leaders. One is a woman named Alice Bailey, a
prolific writer on the subject of the New Age. She was the founder of an organiz
ation called the Arcane School, one of the major Lucis Trust divisions. The Luci
s Trust was a major publisher of books supporting the religion [William Cooper:
and published a newsletter, or newspaper, called [i]Lucifer[/i]]. In her book, e
ntitled [i]The Externalization of the Hierarchy[/i], she told her readers who th
e organizations were that were going to bring the New Age religion to the world,
and she identified them as being: 'the three main channels through which the pr
eparation for the New Age is going on might be regarded as the Church, the Mason
ic Fraternity, and the educational field.'"
[William Cooper]: And, folks, that is exactly who is bringing it to realization.
"(The main thrust of this program is going to be to examine only one of the thre
e organizations mentioned by Alice Bailey, that being the Masonic Fraternity. Th
ere are numerous works by other writers[, lecturers, researchers] exposing the i
nvolvement of the Church and the educational field in the New Age movement [and
in the New World Order], so I m not going to attempt to duplicate those efforts. H
owever, only a few are aware of the involvement of the [Freemasons], and that is
why I have chosen to concentrate on that organization[, Mystery Babylon].)
[William Cooper]: And the reason I m concentrating on that organization is because
it is their members who have infiltrated the Church and the educational field w
ho control those other two organizations. So, really, there s only one organizatio
n that needs to be dealt with, and that is Freemasonry.€
"Another major writer on the New Age movement is Benjamin Creme, and he admitted
in his book, entitled [i]The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisd
om[/i] that: 'The new religion will manifest, for instance, through organization
s like Masonry. In Freemasonry is embedded the core of the secret of the occult
Mysteries.'
"So Masonry conceals a great mystery inside its temples, one that is connected s
omehow to the New Age movement. The Masons admit in some of their writings that
they too are anticipating a new age, a series of major changes. Henry Clausen, t
he past Sovereign Grand Commander (the equivalent of their President) of the Sco
ttish Rite of Freemasonry, has been quoted as saying [this]: 'We look towards a
transforming into a New Age using, however, the insight and wisdom of the ancien
t mystics.'
"The Masons claim that the things that they believe in are as old as the ancient
civilizations. They also claim that these 'mystics,' the ancient philosophers,
had the wisdom of all ages, and that somehow this knowledge has become lost thro
ugh the centuries. Humanity today does not possess this knowledge, but it has be
come the task of the Masons and other 'truth' seekers [William Cooper: who turn
out in every case of investigation to be liars, deceivers, and manipulators] to
rediscover these principles for the benefit of all mankind. Those possessing thi
s knowledge will correct the world s current problems. Some of the Masons also cla
im to have identified the cause of these problems.
"One of the most prolific writers on the subject of this 'lost' truth [as I have
mentioned earlier] is Manly P. Hall, a 33rd degree Mason.
"(For those unfamiliar with the Masonic degrees, all Masons in America start thr
ough what is called the Blue Lodge, consisting of only three degrees...)"
[William Cooper]: A Master Mason is of the third degree, and really knows nothin
g even though he thinks that he has been illumined. And I get letters from them
all the time: "I m a Master Mason and I never heard of any of the stuff that you re
talking about!" (laughs) Oh boy! I -- it amazes me, folks, it just absolutely am
azes me that people are so stupid! Drives me wild.
"(...The initiate into the Blue Lodge goes through three separate and different
initiation ceremonies, one for each degree. After completing these ceremonies, h
e may stay where he is or choose to affiliate himself with either the York Rite
[William Cooper: which has thirteen degrees] or the Scottish Rite [which has thi
rty-two and then the meritorious 33rd]. The latter is divided into two separate
jurisdictions, the Southern and the Northern. These are based primarily on state
borders, and whether one joins one or the other depends on where the initiate l
ives. The two Scottish rites have an additional twenty-nine degrees, making for
a total of thirty-two. There is one more degree, called the 33rd degree, which i
s honorary, and only a few are invited into that degree...)"
[William Cooper]: And to even be considered, they must perform some major work t
oward the completion of the great work, which is the plan to bring about the Uto
pia on earth -- the socialist dream.
"(...The York Rite has a total of nine degrees. However, since little has been r
evealed about this order, we will concentrate on only the Scottish Rite, and, in
particular, the Southern Jurisdiction.)"
[William Cooper]: Well, I ve since discovered that the York Rite has a total of th
irteen degrees, folks, not just nine.
"Mr. Hall has written a book, entitled [i]Lectures on Ancient Philosophy[/i], in
which he talks a great deal about the Masonic fraternity. This is his comment a
bout the coming changes: 'A new day is dawning for Freemasonry. From the insuffi
ciency of theology and the hopelessness of materialism, men are turning to seek
the god of philosophy.'
"Notice that Mr. Hall has said that current 'theology', obviously current 'relig
ion', has proven insufficient. Also, he feels that 'materialism,' meaning the ri
ght to private property, is also a failure. But more importantly, he points out
that this new 'God' of the Freemasons is somehow different from the God of the J
ews and Christians. As will be illustrated later, some of the Masons believe tha
t the God of the Bible is a God of evil.
"Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, perhaps the founder of the current New Age movement,
has also determined that the Masons are somehow supportive of her religious vie
ws. She wrote this in her book, entitled [i]The Secret Doctrine[/i]: '...at the
end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries many Freemas
ons travelled to Tibet where they were initiated into the esoteric [defined as i
ntended for or understood by only a chosen few, as an inner group of disciples o
r initiates] by an esoteric order of the Masters of wisdom.'
"It should be expected that she would support the Masonic fraternity. In 1875, s
he founded an organization called the Theosophical Society, basically dedicated
to teaching the world about her new secret religion. One of the earliest members
of that organization was Albert Pike, later to become the Sovereign Grand Comma
nder of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.
"Albert Pike, who later became a 33rd degree Mason, the highest degree attainabl
e, also saw that there were some significant changes coming, and that he was sup
portive of those changes. He wrote the following in his book, entitled [i]Morals
and Dogma[/i]: 'We can look on all the evils of the world and see that it is on
ly the hour before sunrise, and that the light is coming.'
"[Now,] if Mr. Hall is right, the 'evils' that his fellow Mason Albert Pike saw
are connected to current religion, and that which is coming is somehow different
from these religious views. Mr. Hall, who as mentioned previously is another 33
rd degree Mason, also wrote that a new day was coming, and that it was not too f
ar into the future: 'A new light is breaking in the east [the significance of th
e location, 'the east', [I have already] pointed out [William Cooper: -- it is t
he point where the sun rises]] a more glorious day is at hand. The rule of the p
hilosophic elect ~ the dream of the ages -- will yet be realized and is not too
far distant.'
"So, Mr. Hall is also expecting that these changes are about to occur in the not
too distant future.

"Someone who attempted to zero in on when these changes were expected to occur w
as Alice Bailey, previously mentioned. She wrote about when she thought the New
Age would arrive: 'Eventually, there will appear the Church Universal, and its d
efinite outlines will appear towards the close of the century.'
[William Cooper]: And you have already seen the emergence of the Universalist Ch
urch.
"Since she wrote early in the 20th century, we can see that she was predicting t
he eventual arrival of the New Age, sometime around the 1990s. This estimate of
that date is not too far wrong, as will be demonstrated later [in this series of
programs].
"Whatever is coming in the future, some New Agers have told us that they expect
that it will last for a long time. One such writer is Ruth Montgomery, who wrote
that she saw that the new religion would rule the earth for a thousand years. S
he wrote the following in her book, entitled [i]Herald For The New Age[/i]: 'The
New Age, the millennium [a millennium is a period of one thousand years], will
see an end to that strife, at least for a thousand years.'
"[Now,] just what is the New Age religion that will last for at least one thousa
nd years on the earth? [William Cooper: What is it?]
"One who attempted to answer that question was Constance Cumbey in her book, ent
itled [i]The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow[/i]. She wrote that these were the ba
sic tenets of the new religion [William Cooper: Listen closely]:
"1. 'The Plan' for the future includes the installation of a New World 'Messiah'
, the implementation of a new world government and new world religion under Mait
reya (an individual who will be examined later in this [series of programs]).
"2. A universal credit card system will be implemented [as a cashless society].
"3. A world food authority will control all of the world s food supply.
"4. A universal tax.
"5. A universal draft [and]
"6. They intend on utterly rooting out people who believe the Bible and worship
God and to completely stamp out Christianity [from the face of this earth].
"As was discussed prior to this summary, certain people have indicated that they
see the Catholic Church as an enemy. Here, Mrs. Cumbey says that they see not o
nly Catholicism as the enemy, they also see all of Christianity as an enemy.

"Whatever the New Agers believe in[, folks,] it appears to be growing in popular
ity. Bantam Books, one of this nation s leading publishing houses, has reported th
at the sales of their New Age titles has increased tenfold in the past decade. [
i]Time[/i] magazine reports that the number of New Age bookstores has doubled in
the past five years to a total of about 2,500. According to an article in [i]Fo
rbes[/i] magazine: 'publishers estimate that total sales of New Age titles today
are at least $100 million at retail.'
"So, whatever they believe in, many believe in it.
"But perhaps the most insightful comment about the nature of what the New Age re
ligion believe in, and who they worshiped as their god, was written by Mrs. Cumb
ey in her book, entitled [i]The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow[/i]. She wrote tha
t they had: 'the intent of bringing about a New World Order -- an order that wri
tes God out of the picture and deifies Lucifer.'
"So, if Mrs. Cumbey and the other writers on the subject are right, the New Age
movement needs to be studied in some depth."
[William Cooper]: We know that the goal of Freemasonry, at least that which is s
tated, is to bring about the new man, the illumined man. And the number of the m
an is 666.
