Anderson Cooper ain't going to be honest.  He's a Vanderbilt and a Whitney.  I'm sure you've heard of Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cotton gin.  Same family.  The Vanderbilt's were not as rich as some of the affluent families they lived around, and they were treated like the people on the other side of the tracks by them, but they married into the illuminati.  I wouldn't expect a whole lot of truth from him.
