An excerpt from the first Skolnick article:

The Clinton White House, with prior knowledge, allowed the Oklahoma City bombing to occur, in order to restore his power following the debacle of the 1994 Congressional elections that put a GOP majority in Congress to confront him. And, with Clinton as a marionette, the bombing aided the Establishment in its continuing propaganda to make common Americans helpless to oppose tyranny by disarming them.
On April 17, 1995, two days before the Oklahoma bloodshed, a planeload of top military brass were murdered when their sabotaged plane blew up near Alexander City, Alabama. It was a real life version of Seven Days in May. According to federal grand jurors we interviewed, there was an attempt, later blocked, by a grand jury to investigate this aborted coup. It was actually part of a series of events involving 24 admirals and generals, some of the most patriotic flag officers in the history of this Republic. They vowed, under the Uniform Military Code, to arrest their Commander-in-Chief, Bill Clinton, for his various acts of treason aiding and abetting sworn enemies of the United States, such as Red China and Iraq. If Clinton had them arrested for mutiny, they were prepared, if not assassinated, to defend themselves with their heavily documented charges of his treachery against the U.S. Constitution and the people of the United States.
Some of the coup plotters, deciding to be out of uniform, took up residence in a Paris suburb. The French equivalent of the CIA was aware of all this, and used it to blackmail advantages out of the U.S. government. One demand was that the U.S. Justice Department, itself a highly corrupt entity, would cease prosecuting some 14 French nationals living in the U.S. who had stolen U.S. industrial and financial secrets. (The French used similar blackmail threatening to publicize their knowledge of Iran’s complicity in the missile attack on TWA Flight 800. Eight top officials of the French CIA, along with some 60 other French nationals, died in the plane that had been headed for Paris. At the last minute however, a top official of the French CIA refused to board Flight 800. The Clinton White House had a secret business/peace deal pending with the Teheran oligarchs which the missile disclosures would have wrecked.)
The purpose of several coup attempts was not to install a military junta [pronounced HOON-tah] but to restore by necessary force the American Republic, which had gone downhill since the overthrow of the U.S. government by the American secret political police, by way of the murder in 1963 of President John F. Kennedy.
In the months and years that followed the Alexander City incident, some ten like-minded admirals, generals, and other officials and former officials, were assassinated. These included Adm. Jeremy Boorda (Chief of Naval Operations, the highest naval officer in uniform), Gen. David McCloud (head of the Alaska Military District), and former Director of Central Intelligence, DCI, William Colby. Our interviews with their family members, relatives, and confidants convinced us of the validity of our reports, but the monopoly press wrote off their demise as: “airplane accidents,” “suicide,” and, “boating accidents.”

Trump is perhaps the Generals' revenge, served cold.

Founding Fathers of the Conspiracy and Truth Movement

[1/5]

The foundations of the modern truth and conspiracy movement were laid by John Todd, Fritz Springmeier, and William Cooper. We would not know what we know today if not for these men. They were the first among modern men to have put a face on the bogey man. They exposed and warned while we were all blissfully ignorant with the bread and circus of the 70's, 80's, and 90's.

• Rothschild Central Banking and economic slavery...
• Illuminati Families...
• Secret Societies...
• Satanism, Luciferianism, Occultism, and the Mysteries...
• Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, Skull and Bones, Bilderberg...
• NWO, One World Government...
• Mind Control, MK Ultra, Project Monarch...
• FEMA Camps, executive orders, martial law, and loss of rights...
• 911 False Flag...

John Todd, Fritz Springmeier, and William Cooper pioneered and spread this information in the modern public domain. There were some things that they got wrong, however, their work is absolutely paramount to all things that we know in the truth/conspiracy movement and also all that we cherish here on ATS.

These men worked at a time when the Internet was still in its developmental infancy. There were no reference blogs or easily accessible sites like Wikipedia or YouTube, nor were there any PDF archive sites. They mustered their information before the rise of the 'Information/Internet Age'. This in itself makes their information and missions awe-inspiring.

These men had their flaws; they were not perfect. Were any of them bad men? Were any of them set up to be silenced? Were any of them innocent?

This is not the point.
Character/Personal qualities aside, let us focus on their contributions to the conspiracy/truth movement.
