Episode Summary
Episode 32 aired on January 3, 1994, and departs from the series’ pattern of reading published books. Cooper instead reads, nearly in full, a letter published in the Aid and Abet Police Newsletter, Volume 2, Number 1. The newsletter was edited by Jack McLamb, whom Cooper describes as one of the most decorated police officers in Arizona, while carefully noting that CAJI, his Citizens Agency for Joint Intelligence, had not yet reached a verdict on whether the organization itself was trustworthy. Cooper’s suspicion is explicit: he raises the possibility that Aid and Abet might function as an organ to identify and remove constitutionalist officers from law enforcement before the New World Order is fully established.
The letter itself is attributed by the newsletter’s editor to a police chief writing under the pseudonym Rupert Orpheus. Cooper announces from the outset that the pseudonym is a tell, because the letter closes with the phrase “So Mote It Be,” a phrase drawn directly from Scottish Rite Freemasonry initiation ceremonies. On that basis Cooper concludes the author is not merely a police officer but a highly degreed Mason disclosing, under cover of pseudonymity, the actual philosophy and intended role of law enforcement under the coming New World Order.
The letter’s argument unfolds in several stages. It opens by declaring that many judges, attorneys, and police officers are devotees of the religion of Secular Humanism and that Secular Humanism is a fully recognized religion under Supreme Court precedent, citing Torcaso v. Watkins and Abington School District v. Schempp. The author contends that humanist officers face discrimination when they apply Situation Ethics on the job, while officers with traditional religious beliefs apply their own moral frameworks freely. Cooper interrupts repeatedly to underline what he characterizes as the letter’s open disclosure of the plan he has been describing throughout the Mystery Babylon series: that a hidden priesthood governs through a Council of Wise Men, with a visible charismatic political figure as a puppet at the front.
The letter defends Situation Ethics at length, drawing on Vince Lombardi’s remark that winning is the only thing, and then on what it calls the Communist definition of ethics: everything is ethical as long as it promotes world Communism. The author states that Marxists have expurgated a minimum of ninety million people in pursuit of world peace and asks rhetorically what intelligent person could call the means immoral. Cooper pauses after this passage to express contempt for the argument and to repeat the warning he had already given listeners in Behold a Pale Horse: the architects of the New World Order are prepared to kill two billion people if required.
The letter then cites the Humanist Manifesto II of 1973 directly, quoting its assertion that moral values derive from human experience, that ethics is autonomous and situational, and that no divine purpose or providence exists for the human species. Cooper connects this to the initiatory theology he has traced through the series: the belief that man is in a state of becoming, on his way to godhood through a process of self-directed evolution freed from inherited religious constraints.
Two sections deal with law enforcement personnel specifically. The letter describes the deliberate replacement of older officers, whom it calls peace officers and servants of the people, with a new generation screened for compatibility with Secular Humanist principles. It predicts that the final old-guard officers will be removed within seven or eight years, and it describes policies for using administrative charges to phase out those who openly profess religious fundamentalism. Cooper links this process directly to the events at Ruby Ridge and Waco, which had occurred in the preceding year.
The letter closes by quoting a book called Weep for Our Children, which it describes as a text used by educators and which articulates a values clarification philosophy: that it is acceptable to lie, steal, commit premarital sex, cheat, or kill, provided the individual has arrived at those values freely, without coercion from parents, ministers, or social pressure. Cooper repeats this passage twice, explaining that it confirms what he has been saying about the public school curriculum. He closes the broadcast with a direct political commentary, arguing that Bill Clinton functions as a visible messenger while the real leadership remains insulated, pointing to the Electoral College and the destruction of Gary Hart’s career as evidence of how the system actually operates.
Key Claims Made in This Episode
Documented from the broadcast. The site records these claims; it does not endorse them. Dated claims also appear in the series timeline.
- Cooper claims the letter in Aid and Abet Police Newsletter was written by a highly degreed Scottish Rite Freemason, not a conventional police chief, because the author signed off with “So Mote It Be,” a phrase exclusive to Masonic initiation ceremonies.
- Cooper claims the letter discloses that a large portion of American judges, attorneys, and law enforcement officers are practicing Secular Humanists who regard the ends-justify-means philosophy as the legitimate basis of professional conduct.
- Cooper claims Secular Humanism was formally recognized as a religion by the United States Supreme Court in Torcaso v. Watkins and Abington School District v. Schempp, and that the humanist creed is substantively identical to the Marxist definition of ethics.
- Cooper claims the Humanist Manifesto II of 1973 explicitly states that no divine purpose or providence exists for humanity and that ethics requires no theological sanction, aligning humanist doctrine with the theology of man-becoming-god that he traces through the entire Mystery Babylon series.
- Cooper claims that the letter describes a deliberate program to identify and remove constitutionalist and religiously observant police officers from service before the New World Order is fully in place, and that Aid and Abet may itself be the instrument of that identification.
- Cooper claims Marxists have deliberately killed at least ninety million people in pursuit of world government and world peace, and that the architects of the New World Order are prepared to kill two billion if necessary, as he also warned in Behold a Pale Horse.
- Cooper claims that a book called Weep for Our Children, actively used in government schools as a teaching text, instructs educators to change the values of children without getting caught, and defines values clarification as the freedom to determine that lying, stealing, or killing are acceptable personal values.
- Cooper claims that Bill Clinton is not a decision-maker but a messenger boy, that the real leadership is insulated from public removal, and that the Electoral College, not popular vote, determines the presidency, with genuine outsiders neutralized as Gary Hart was neutralized.
- Cooper claims the public will embrace the New World Order because most people prefer to be governed by a state that relieves them of personal responsibility, fulfilling what he describes as a universal human tendency to seek a father figure after the initial struggle of adulthood.

Notable Quotes
“So Mote It Be” is taken directly from the initiation ceremonies of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, and you will hear it nowhere else, ladies and gentlemen.
Cooper, MB32, January 3, 1994
Those of you who thought that I was insane when I told you that, if you don’t go along with the New World Order, you will be exterminated — they make no secret of this.
Cooper, MB32, January 3, 1994
Historians’ View
The Torcaso v. Watkins decision (1961) did include a footnote listing Secular Humanism among belief systems that do not require a God, but legal scholars note that the footnote was not the holding of the case and was not an unambiguous ruling that Secular Humanism is legally a religion for all constitutional purposes. Subsequent courts have reached varying conclusions. Cooper’s claim that Secular Humanism is a religion precisely equivalent in legal standing to Christianity is a contested interpretation, not an established legal fact. The Humanist Manifesto II is a genuine document, and the quotations Cooper attributes to it can be verified against the original. Whether the manifesto describes the operational philosophy of American law enforcement, as Cooper and the letter assert, is a claim without evidentiary support outside the letter itself. The letter attributed to “Rupert Orpheus” has not been authenticated, and its author has never been identified. The phrase “So Mote It Be” does appear in Masonic ritual, but it is not exclusive to Freemasonry; it also appears in Wiccan and other ceremonial traditions. Cooper’s inference that the letter author is a high-ranking Mason is plausible within his interpretive framework but not independently verifiable. We record these claims as broadcast; we do not endorse them.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Mystery Babylon episode 32 about?
Episode 32 presents a letter published in the Aid and Abet Police Newsletter as evidence that Secular Humanism has infiltrated law enforcement at every level and that a plan is underway to purge officers who hold traditional religious values. Cooper argues the letter’s Masonic sign-off phrase reveals its true author to be a high-degree Freemason disclosing the plan openly. The episode connects to the broader series argument traced across the Secret Societies hub and the Luciferian Doctrine and New Age hub.
What is “So Mote It Be” and why does Cooper emphasize it?
The phrase appears in the closing degrees of Scottish Rite Freemasonry and functions as a ritual affirmation. Cooper argues that its presence at the end of the letter proves the pseudonymous author is a high-ranking Mason, not simply a police chief with unconventional views. The phrase and its Masonic context are documented on the Freemasonry hub.
What did the Supreme Court actually say about Secular Humanism?
Cooper cites Torcaso v. Watkins (1961) and Abington School District v. Schempp (1963). The Torcaso decision’s footnote listed Secular Humanism among non-theistic religions, but the ruling’s main holding addressed a different question. Legal scholars do not uniformly read those cases as establishing Secular Humanism as a legally recognized religion for all constitutional purposes. Cooper and the letter treat the footnote as a definitive ruling. See the sources hub for primary document links.
