Original Bill Cooper - Treason Documented #1

William Cooper, host of the 'Hour of the Time' on the Thomas Paine Podcast, delivers a fiery and conspiratorial monologue in this episode, framing U.S. foreign policy since World War II as a coordinated act of treason by a globalist elite. He argues that leaders like Harry Truman, operating in concert with the British and Soviet Union, engineered the Cold War and the creation of international institutions such as the United Nations to dismantle American sovereignty and establish a one-world socialist government. Cooper reads verbatim from a 1950 U.S. Department of State publication, 'Our Foreign Policy,' which he claims proves the government's intent to subordinate national interests to global governance. He denounces the Marshall Plan, the UN, and international economic cooperation as tools of deception and control, asserting they led to communist takeovers in Europe and beyond. Throughout, Cooper emphasizes the need for Americans to awaken, form militias, reclaim freedom of speech through independent media, and reject mainstream institutions like the NRA, which he claims have betrayed the Second Amendment. His tone is deeply emotional, apocalyptic, and rooted in a belief that the American people have been systematically misled by a corrupt establishment. Cooper’s central thesis is that the United States has been betrayed by its leaders through a decades-long conspiracy to erode constitutional authority, disarm citizens, and install a globalist regime. He calls for listeners to take notes, verify documents independently, and become active in resisting this 'New World Order.' He positions himself as the last true voice of freedom, warning that the nation is sinking due to a 'dumbing down' of the populace through media and education. Despite the episode’s length and repetitive structure, Cooper’s message is clear: truth is weaponized, and only those who reject mainstream narratives and embrace radical self-reliance can save America.
