An Ode to Bill Cooper

You're not here, and everything just feels so hopeless. You sacrificed yourself for truth, and yet lies still rule human consciousness. It's all I can do to keep my composure when I think about it. Think about how they murdered you in cold blood for exposing them. I apologize for being too young to have met or helped you. I pray that I'm some day worthy to pick up the torch, but I feel unworthy of even a candle. I pray that I will have the strength to fight the mysterious beast even a fraction of what you did. You may have been the greatest teacher that I'll ever know, and I can think of no better way to honor your memory than to keep up the fight for truth, love and longevity; until there's no longer breath in my chest. I miss you more and more every day...Please Rest in Peace Milton William Cooper.

Beautiful
HE is brave
I love this piece

[Jonny The Savage]

I'm glad you liked it.
Old Bill is one of my biggest heroes.

[B]

And it seems you write with such devotion
It must be beautiful to love with such openness Jonny

[Jonny The Savage]

You're probably not wrong.
It can be as painful as it is beautiful, honestly.
More often than not, it is, if you can keep your eyes open.

[B]

Yes
but its alright
You live
and you grow
And your heart becomes even bigger
You become more beautiful

[Jonny The Savage]

Haha perhaps.
Sometimes you just grow cynical.
Like a million roman candles, slowly extinguishing themselves, into darkness.

[B]

only you can control that
you have free will

[Jonny The Savage]

Free will isn't something that is expressed well in the physical world.

[B]

I couldn't agree with you Jonny
If only people truly understood how free they are
One can do anything

[Jonny The Savage]

The belief that we are gods or could become like God is the root of much evil of this world.

[B]

True
That is illness of the soul
to not realize there is a higher power beyond our understanding
we are ever so small
but only a man who reads can reach such high levels of intellect
Most scientists come to terms with such an idea Jonny

[Jonny The Savage]

That which we don't know that we don't know will always be the largest field of knowledge.
I don't trust modern science, it's just not science any longer.
Refutation isn't considered necessary.
Ideas which are demonstrably false are proven for quid pro quo benefits of the "scientist".

[B]

I hear you
