Moon Matrix

When the cover was posted as a teaser on the Icky forum, there were a few who were wondering why he chose [theremin] " Masonic Imagery" [/theremin].

Because lions and Masons are synonymous, amirite?

I know I've said this before, but: why do woos use The Matrix as an example? It wasn't a great film, and it certainly wasn't a deeply philosophical film. If you're going to use an action flick as your example, why not pick a good one like Commando?

The Matrix wasn't a great film but it was an AWESOME movie.:p

It was not deeply philosophical but it had enough superficial references and name-dropping to appear as such.

It has appeal to a conspiracy theorist's mind because it's a perfect fictional example of massive and completely hidden population and mind control, and as such it cautions questioning the most basic assumptions we have about reality and allows believing in fiction (like the Matrix and X-Files) instead.

Every conspiracy theorist dreams of being Neo. Being the one who is given the truth and the mission to wake people up. The guy who last mentioned the Matrix to me in that context also told me in a prior conversation that his ambition is to be the one to reveal alien existence to the world. And have his name in the dictionary as such.:o

Although if I could pick any movie as suddenly being real, I'd make it Groundhog Day.

David Icke is either the greatest of the wooy woos or the most uncreative conman I have ever seen. I write this because so much of the mythology he weaves seems to have a foundation in the popular culture. Even the hollow moon idea is something I have seen before on a television show.

This leads me to believe in (a false dichotomy, I will admit) the idea that either Icke is so crazy as to believe the fiction he reads or sees is the truth being hidden in plain sight, or he just isn't very creative in his con; or perhaps he doesn't think much of his followers.

He's making money,he's not that crazy.
 
I might well have a look at this when it is downloadable appears in a library. I read 'The Biggest Secret' years ago and it remains one of the funniest books I've ever read. The History section read like one of those compilations of mistakes schoolkids made in their History essays, and I was never quite able to look at the Queen Mother again without imagining her turning into a ravenous 8' lizard. And then there was Boxcar Willie. . . .

Uncreative Con Man is right;all of Icke's ideas seemed swiped from really cliched Science Fiction.

Considering how each conspiracy theory is more absurd than the one preceeding it I'm wondering if the government is somehow driving all these things to actually justify cracking down on proponents of any of them

Before I even discuss how ridiculous this theory is -- do you realize how hard it would be to construct something as big and massive as the moon?
 
going back to the commando idea.....arnie's character name in commando was matrix

coincidence?

i regard commando as sci fi now in my older age, the main atagonist was so out of shape, and we're to believe he was some spec ops bad ace? and that he could ever put a fight up with arnie? also, love how ahnold jumps off the flg into the swamp a couple hundred feet down, just climbs out and is on his way, clearly sci fi. not to mention carla's husband from cheers is the south american dictator.....
 
nothing wrong with David Icke and i look forward to reading his new book. If it's as good as his 9/11 book was, it'll be a classic. Obviously not for jrefers mind, too many good reads published by the government to get through first. Loads of classic fiction such as the 9/11 commission report for instance. Few, a real pot boiler, light on detail, facts and a with totally unbelievable baddie modelled on a character from Disney's Aladdin, all mixed together with some dodgy science, but hey, you're allowed poetic licence when writing a work of fiction.
