The Official David Icke Thread

[Tolls]

So for him to come out, as a public figure sharing his belief, knowing that he would be seen as crazy ( in a society that was very stuffy and traditional) took balls.

It didn't take balls because he was nuts.
Sorry, he thought he was the second coming.

No sheet, no one had seen this kind of thing on tv before in the uk before this
ANd there was only tv back then.

Well, we had channeling of aliens in the 60s on the Beeb...which was arguably even more insane.

 

[catsmate]

Like people in the USA might not understand- but back then, in the UK you simply could not be crazy.

it was not cool at all. And in no way socially acceptable.

This is complete nonsense. His first major nutty outburst was in 1991, during a period when eccentrics like Screaming Lord Sutch were public figures.p.s RIP

This was 1991 - not the 1950's.

 

[esspee]

This was 1991 - not the 1950's.

It was a massive thing.

I was living there.

It was all that the tv and news talked about for weeks.

Same thing happened today - no one would give two *****.

 

[zooterkin]

The actual pronunciation is "EyeK". Ick works so much better.

To be clear, that's 'eye' with a 'k' sound at the end, rather than "ee-eck", for example. Or, even simpler, it's pronounced the same as Ike as in Eisenhower.

The 90s, stuffy and traditional? Good grief, how old are you?

I'm just going to stick with "Icky".

I've lived all my life in England - I can't remember anyone talking about - or it being all over the news - Icke was a pretty minor celebrity.

It's not like we hadn't had the Swinging 60's / Monty Python / Bowie / Punk / Boy George / Frankie Goes to Hollywood etc etc etc before 1991

So have I, I watched the Wogan interview at the time and I remember the fuss about it all afterwards.

That's how it's always been to me, and I ain't changing!

It is just so apt!

,, and the Stones before, during and after.......

Same for me.

 

[ShadowSot]

I pronounce his name "icky".

I refer to him as D.Ickey.

 

[Warp12]

- Pardon My Icke -

So, what is up with this guy? I am certain he is crazy...but so committed to the madness. It is very interesting. He is not a fraud, imo...just insane.

 

[trustbutverify]

What makes you think he's insane?

 

[Carrot Flower King]

It's what happens when you go south down the M69 at too great a speed...

He's never recovered from the cultural impact of moving from Leicester to Coventry...

 

[Warp12]

What makes you think he's insane?

I think there are elements of his thought that do not reconcile within his own points. I mean, at a glance.

 

[Norman Alexander]

Whatever. Just don't send him any money or buy his merch when he asks. That's all he really wants - free money from suckers.

 

[lionking]

What makes you think he's insane?

Perhaps because he believes the world is ruled by Reptilians? Look I’m not an expert like Icke. He might be 100% correct…..

 

[Foster Zygote]

I dunno. Someone claiming to be the smartest person I've ever encountered declared Icke is a reliable source of information. I mean, do we really have proof that Elizabeth II isn't a shape-shifting alien reptile?
