I've always thought that Cooper was counter intelligence.  He was one of the first people to push the " illuminati " psychological operation.  At one point, Alex Jones and Cooper were  enemies.  AJ would call Cooper a  drunk and Cooper would call AJ a pathological liar.  And just like AJ, Cooper's truth was peppered  with disinformation.  I must be a lot older than you because  Cooper is old info that is stored in the back of my mind.
