Anderson Cooper: Two men and a funeral

The work below this opening paragraph is from 2016, and I have edited it to remove some outside references that seemed appropriate at the time but do not now. The short shrift of it is that socialite Gloria Vanderbilt was said to have had two sons, last names taken from their father, Wyatt Cooper. They were Anderson, and Carter. The latter was said to have jumped off the balcony of their 14th floor Manhattan apartment in 1988, leaving but one.

I was listening to an interview with Anderson the other day, and I don’t know with whom. He’s a very smooth man, a good interview, but I was taken aback when asked about the Mom, Gloria. He was blunt to a fault about her, talking about her boyfriends as she aged, one having perfected the skill of cunnilingus. That was gross, as anyone can imagine the man performing the act as raising his head and being covered in cobwebs. Gloria (2024-2019) was the son of Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt (1880-1925), whose primary occupation was listed as “equestrian”. These people, including the two sons, were indeed to the manor born.

I am convinced that there are, to this day, two Anderson Coopers, one of whom I call “serious”. the other “Fredo”. I’ll explain all of that below. Just know that if you are watching Jeopardy on TV, and they are having their annual journalists contest, and if there is a Cooper there, it is Fredo.

From September 12, 2016:

Straight and I have learned now too when doing facial comparisons to first answer the question: Are we dealing with twins?

In Cooper’s case, yes. Most assuredly, Anderson Cooper is twins.

Her is twin #1, whom I think of as Anderson the Serious:

And here is Twin #2, who I think of as Fredo, the slightly less credible Cooper:

As I have discovered, if he is wearing horn-rimmed glasses, it is Fredo. Also, Fredo has an easy smile, sometimes even looking a little intellectually challenged, the reason for my nickname.

(Jeopardy, the TV Quiz show, annually runs a week of news personalities they call “Power Players,” in which they dumb down the questions and put our nightly news people on display. This year Cooper was among them. After a while you’ll get the hang of it, but it was Fredo, and not Serious, who was on that show this year. See to the left. Easy smile, pointed nose are two keys to telling them apart.

For those of you who eschew face splitting, I will tell you that as I randomly grabbed ten photos, I could tell without thinking that I was dealing with twins. Here is a side-by-side comparison, with the yellow line used to make sure the eyes are in alignment. The green line highlights the ear difference, and the red the chin. [Note that each is affected by head angle.]

[Note, 4/2025: Later below I will present better evidence, as even I cringed at this work from nine years ago. Both ear height and chin can be affected by other factors.]

As can be seen , Serious Cooper has lower ears, while Fredo has a shorter chin. Fredo also has a sharper nose. Keep in mind that while one photo is of an older twin, the other younger, ear lobes get longer with age, but ear height and skull shape remain constant. Noses can be altered by plastic surgery, but these have not. These are two different men. [I walk away from this.]

Anderson Cooper, said to the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, has either a fake bio in which the Vanderbilt portion was invented, or really is that guy.

But the Coopers’ bio is a little more interesting, as Gloria Vanderbilt is said to have had another son, Carter Cooper, who did a swan dive to his death at age 23 from the fourteenth floor of their New York City apartment in 1988. This is from an interview of Gloria by (Serious) Anderson in September of 2011:

‘I still run through it,’ she said. ‘He was sitting on the wall with one foot on there and one foot hanging over and he kept looking down.

‘And I kept begging him and then when he went, he went like an athlete, and hung over the wall like this.

‘And I said, “Carter, come back”, and for a minute I thought that he was going to come back, but he didn’t. He let go.’

She told her 44-year-old son, who was 21 at the time of the tragedy, ‘There was a moment when I thought I was going to jump over after him.

‘I thought of you and it stopped me.’

That is really sad, as any parent who has lost a child can testify. The problem is that I do not believe it. I think it is just bad writing, a damned soap-opera ending. Once I knew we were dealing with twins, I knew one had to leave his regular life to become the doppelgänger for the other. They chose a dramatic suicide as the back story.

Here is a photo of Carter Cooper, as nice and well-adjusted a young man as you will ever meet:

And here he is matched up with Fredo Cooper, the less serious twin:

Carter Cooper did not plunge to his death. He merely became the Anderson Cooper twin that we never knew about until today.

We rest our case. Anderson Cooper is a two-fer, both a twin AND a Zombie.

From September 14, 2016:

Carter (1/27/65) and Anderson (6/3/67), are the children of writer Wyatt Cooper* and designer/artist Gloria Vanderbilt. Though born 28 months apart, it is hard to see that age difference in some childhood photos, such as this one:

Note the identical jammies! However, other photos do put them farther apart in age, so it is not conclusive. The subject of twins, while a recurring theme at this website, will not be discussed beyond this, as it does not matter if the boys were born at the same time or merely strongly resemble one another, or indeed underwent plastic surgery (as with Paul and Mike McCartney). The important conclusion I draw is not that they are twins, but rather that each now plays the role of “Anderson Cooper, intrepid reporter.”

Here they are as youth, Carter to the left, Anderson to the right:

Carter is said to have plunged to his death in a 1988 suicide, but I will show below that his death was faked.

Why wealthy people fake their deaths … is a layer of the onion. As with the fake-dying Kennedy’s – Joseph Jr., Kathleen, John F., Robert, Robert and John F. Jr., along with scores  of musicians and actors, fake death is common in royal lineage. Some, like the Kennedy’s, are too well-known to reappear as Zombies. Where they go is a matter of speculation.

The musicians and actors, and as we see, Carter Vanderbilt Cooper, are re-purposed, often in the fake news business.

That is an important lesson I have learned from our study of dead rock stars – musicians can fake their trade, and the news business is rife with phonies, Zombies and poseurs. So news, like music,  is often fake.  That is how so many lies and so much illusion is passed on to us – by use not of Intelligence agents in news, but Intelligence assets.***

Each of the boys above has a fully developed skull, and pupils are at a distance where they will stay until death. Consequently, I can show that each is currently a version of Anderson Cooper. First, Anderson:

That is admitted, so should not be contentious.

Now Carter:

Young Carter has his head angled, so we get a wider and narrower skull as a result. But I am satisfied that these photos are of the same person.

Finally, Carter and Anderson, to show they are two different men:

Here are a few photos of the man we know as Anderson:

And just three of Carter, who I think appears less frequently (and who was assigned the task of appearing on Jeopardy earlier this year):

_____________

*Wyatt died in 1978 at age 50, but, do you suppose he might have faked his death? Such a thing is not unheard of in the Vanderbilt line. (Wyatt was Gloria’s fourth husband.)

***Anderson, if anything in his bio is true, admittedly spent summers while at Yale undergoing CIA training. Most likely Carter was with him during that time.

September 18, 2016

In my post about Anderson and Carter Cooper, where Carter, supposedly 28 months older, faked his death in 1988, I deliberately short-shifted the twin question. I thought it was a time sink. But it has been bugging me. I showed one photo where the boys looked very close in age and dressed alike, and left it at that. There were other photos showing them to be older and younger than each other, but I suspected they were fake. I chose not to go down that road, as the post was about the boys as grown men, faking their lives.  It was too much detail for one post.

Here’s the original photo I ran of the boys:

It’s funny in that it is the mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, who looks pasted in to that photo. Wyatt is looking below her head, as if she should be shorter, and Gloria is looking somewhere else, not at Wyatt. Her skin tone is lighter and much softer, and she is out of focus compared to the others. The lower part of her torso has a ghostly quality about it. But the boys are in focus, and they look like twins to me. They perhaps inserted her later to remove someone else – the birth mother? Who knows with rich and famous royal families. (Thanks to Tyrone for that link, showing Anderson’s lineage all the way back to Edward I Longshanks Plantagenet (1239-1307).)

Then there are these two:

Those both look like real photos, and the boys again look very much alike and close in age. [4/26/2025: Tyrone noted at the time that it is highly unlikely that Gloria lived in a warehouse part of Manhattan, so that the window scene upper right was added, reason unknown.]

But I ran into photos like this:

Now there’s an age difference! Anderson’s head was pasted in, by the way.  Notice how he is of a lighter shade , but it’s a pretty good paste-up. I am not convinced, but you might be, and that’s no problem. If they are not twins, we have our first evidence of that.

This one is a little easier to see a problem. Again the boys are dressed like twins, but this time it is very easy to spot fakery. And again, it is Anderson’s head that was pasted on. Notice how the professional photographer forgot to have him look at the camera, like Carter is doing. Gloria and Carter are in sharp focus, Anderson is not, and again, his skin tone is lighter than theirs. This photo is clearly a paste-up, with turtle-necks making it easier to splice the head on the body. That is probably why Intel chose these photos – turtlenecks.

It reinforces my suspicion that the three photos of the boys above (wherein they look close in age, and like twins) are real, while these two are fakes.

This will leave the perceptive reader with a question: The boys were born in 1965. Did they know at that time that they would be called on by Intelligence to become fake TV journalists? I doubt it. The photos were real at one time, and once it was decided that Carter would do his fake swan dive and morph into Anderson, they merely took some old family photos and fixed them up to fit the new facts. Since there was no Internet prior to the late nineties, that would be the time that this was done, after Anderson and Carter were in play.

I now think that everyone who has a position in news media is a fake person, including all TV pundits and news readers. I do not exclude local media, but down that low in the game, stupidity, good looks and believability might be the lead qualifications for employment. So somewhere at Langley or wherever is a file called “Anderson Cooper,” and nearby a person who manages that the scam along with several others. I would guess that a whole floor or wing of a building is devoted to management of fake news personalities.

The important conclusion to draw: Reliable fake people are in place to assure that all news is managed.

4/26/2025: Postscript: Why twins? In show business, it is can be done for economy’s sake, that it is easier to get a movie done if there are two Hayley Mills, child actors, as used openly in the movie The Parent Trap. In the Intel business, it can be useful if they need people in different times and places. In music … it’s a grueling business, so having a twin allows downtime. However, it must be incredibly difficult to manage public appearances.

Why two Anderson Cooper’s? I stipulate that I don’t know, but I do realize that AC has been the point man for most of the major fake events of the last three decades. He does admit that he underwent CIA training while at Yale. I can only speculate that he is often needed in so many venues that two are required, or perhaps one is relegated to lightweight affairs like Jeopardy! while the other sticks to the serious stuff.
