Fun with David Icke

[westphalia]

I'm astonished anyone pays money for anything the man produces. Coast to Coast loves him, of course.

Too many people on the planet, sucking up perfectly usable oxygen.

Surely if there was any slight,minute truth in his claims of Lizards in the royal family etc. he would have "dissapeared" by now.His supporters clearly overlook this.

You can see his stuff on goolge video, hours and hours of it. One of them, a interview with a african chief is 6 hours long.

He was brave for looking such a complete wally, and I remember a documentary a couple of years ago - might have been Louis Theroux? - which followed him around on his lecture tour (sadly, with his somewhat ambivalent young son, clearly torn between wanting to be just like Dad and feeling mortified). The picture gained of him was of a genuine, but delusional, fellow, fairly pleasant, but with a mad, paranoid glint in his eye.

I'm not sure if it is the same documentary, but I watched one on Icke on UK TV.

Icke himself was bizarre enough, but the Icke stuff was intercut with very serious people from Jewish representative groups who basically said :

"Yea he says Lizard, but he REALLY MEANS Jews" - This Icke fellow is an anti-semite and must be stopped.

I think you're both referring to the documentary series "Secret Rulers of the World". It was based on Jon Ronsom's book "Them! Adventures with extremists"

They devoted 1 episode (and 1 chapter) to Icke. He seems nice enough, if deluded.

However, one of his staff was caught on tape slagging off the jews (thouhg only once) and the Canadian anti-defamation league were really shown in a bad light. Bunch of whacked-out crazies with delusions of self-importance.

Is David Icke still claiming to be the son of god....
Or has he moved past claims of divinity?

Where've you been? Son of God is sooo 1990's

He reveals how a Hidden Hand is behind world-changing events like the attacks of 9/11 as part of a mass mind manipulation technique he has dubbed problem, reaction, solution.

David Icke also reveals how we live in a virtual-reality dream world, very much like the one portrayed in the Matrix movies. It is like a holographic Internet in which our brains and DNA act like a computer terminal logging in to a collective reality designed to enslave us in a false ‘world’ of illusion.

If that's the case, then I wonder why the enslavers didn't shut down the production of the Matrix movies. I bet a couple of agents could despose of the Wachowski brothers with little effort.

It tells us everything about everything including how to stop the human body ageing. Goodness me.

Wow, that explains how David Icke have managed to look like a 20 year old, not one wrinkle or gray hair at all!

I, for one, welcome our new Jewish/alien/shape-shifting/lizard overlords!

Sounds like it to me too (although I think its Jon Ronson, not Ronsom).

There's quite an in depth (and amusing) discussion of Icke taking up about 34 pages of Ronson's book. See:

Ronson, Jon in his “Them : Adventures with Extremists” (2001) at pages 85-86 (in Chapter 2), 142-173 (in Chapter 6 generally) of the Picador hardback edition.

For a slightly more updated (taking into account Icke's 911 conspiracy theories etc) and more scholarly look at David Icke see the 17 page discussion in Michael Barkun's book:

Barkun, Michael in his “A Culture of Conspiracy : Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America” (2003) at pages 98-99, 103-109 (in Chapter 6), 144-145, 146 (in Chapter 9), 163-164 (in Chapter 10), 173-174, 175 (in Chapter 11) of the California hardback edition.

Barkun's book also covers a couple of other people that make David Icke look relatively cautious and restrained...

Kind Regards,

Isaac Koi

[swiki]David Icke[/swiki]

In 1990 a medium gave him a "spirit message" telling him that it was his destiny to "heal the earth". Naturally enough, he took this to mean that he should dress exclusively in turquoise and go on British television to declare himself the son of God.
