I know, I was "expanding" on a hypothetical LOL
Understood
By the way I discovered that there is another book that mentions the reptilians in the way that David Icke describes - one that predates Icke's reptilian-conspiracy books. It's called Bringers of the Dawn and it's information that's channeled (or "channeled") through a woman called Barbara Marciniak...from the Pleiadians. This is from The Skeptic's Dictionary:
The Pleiadians are alien beings from the star cluster in the constellation Taurus known as the Pleiades. Barbara Marciniak claims that the Pleiadians chose her to be their messenger. She reveals this in her channeled book, Bringers of the Dawn. According to Marciniak the message is: "If you can clear people of their personal information, they can go cosmic." This message resonates with some people. For example, Kristine Barbieri gave the book 5 stars in her Amazon.com review:
This book really blew me away because it echoes the same ideas as other books I have read. As another reviewer mentioned, this book conveys the same message that David Icke's books do, that Reptilians are really in charge of this planet and keep us locked in fear for their own sustenance.
I still wonder - where does all this stuff come from? Who was the first one to write about reptilian beings controlling the earth? First, I thought David Icke was the first one to make these claims, but then I found out that Cathy O'Brien made these reptilian claims even earlier. But this woman wrote Bringers of the Dawn in 1992. But maybe there are others who make these claims even before this woman.
And then there's that woman who apparently told David Icke that Princess Diana used to call her in-laws "the reptiles" and "the lizards" and said, "seriously, they're not human!" I don't remember her name. But, anyway, Icke doesn't claim to be the one who "connected the dots". He claims that people from different parts of America told him they'd seen the people in power shapeshift:
And one theme that came up last year, May '98, it had been around a little bit but I put it on the back burner. There wasn't enough evidence to talk about it, really. And that was that people had seen people in positions of power, not exclusively so, but overwhelmingly so, turn into a reptilian form and then go back to human. And, in a period of 15 days, in May 1998, I met 12 separate people in different parts of America from different walks of life and different backgrounds, in my travels, who told me the same story. I thought, "What in the hell is going on here?!"
I'm thinking that at least some of these people may have read Bringers of the Dawn and gotten a bit carried away. At least, that's a possibility.
Sorry for all this rambling. I'm just trying to establish some sort of timeline for this reptilian theory.
A lot of people say that this theory debunks itself because it's so ridiculous, but the fact is that many, many people believe in it and have faith in Icke's research methods, not realizing how flawed they are. I still have yet to see a thorough debunking of the reptilian conspiracy theory. I want to research this more thoroughly and if I come out of this still being skeptical of it, I'd like to post my "debunking" on the web.
Many people won't understand why I want to do this, but it's something I feel I should do - for myself and for the other people out there who are afraid of things like this being true. Mostly, I'd like to silence that fearful "what if?" Maybe the way to do that is to face this stuff head-on and try to debunk it.
Maybe I should start a separate topic for this.
