The article below is from the Daily Mail and not the usual articles I sometimes post on here, but I am in the business of Holistic Medicine and Psychic Mediumship so under that umbrella comes beliefs.
Now I had thought I had heard the last of this guy, David Icke in the UK years ago when he was prevalent, we just laughed and thought he was a harmless crackpot, obvious to all that he just wasn't right and who would believe him, but this headline in the Daily Mail caught my eye, "America now falling at his feet". Frankly I was flabbergasted.
He pokes fun or is it fun? nope I think he's deadly serious, at our Royal Family claiming she is half Lizard and part of an alien sect. He also claims this of the US president Obama, now I know there may be a percentage of Americans who dislike president Obama, each to there own but to find he has sell out tours of the US where Americans are hanging on to his every word is worrying. He even claims the highest ranking UK Clergy had the mark of Satan on his robes and they lap it up.
Why are people, well especially Americans listening to this twaddle? and worrying they are supporting him? My theory is they need something to believe in. Man from time immemorial had a need to worship something, so you will find this common thread throughout all civilizations. Sadly many are disillusioned with present day religions, which have lost the impetus of sticking to the real purpose of religion, which is to care for others and treat others as they themselves wish, present day religions seem to have developed more in the way of power and control, and people have been searching for something different. David Icke is somewhat a manipulator at using those gullible searching people, he refers to such terms as "U.S. government weapons, the satanic paedophile
politicians leeching ‘energy’ from children" and there are many especially in the US who are susceptible to conspiracy theories, Icke plays on this. As far as I can see he is no different from any other organisation who tries to manipulate people with power and control. Sadly these gullible people in my opinion should look internally at themselves to their own soul and conscious.
No matter what religion you believe in take it back to grass roots, we should care for our fellow man as we would expect ourselves to be treated. Love is unconditional, it does not judge others. OK you may say I am judging him, well hes free to choose what to believe in and if he wants to believe HM the Queen and President Obama are half lizard half alien, who want to take over the world let him. But he should not be trying to convert others to his beliefs, that is a dangerous precedence. I would have more respect for him if he were to talk about Universal Love for mankind, instead he claims to be the son of God and the next Messiah.
The second coming of David Icke: Claiming he was the son of God made him a national joke. So why is America now falling at his feet?
Making a comeback: David Icke and his outlandish
views are continuing to sell out tours in America, yet he is still one
of the most ridiculed men in Britain
A seemingly innocuous picture of the Queen being greeted at the gates of Westminster Abbey for the royal wedding flashed up on the giant TV screen on the stage behind him.
‘He’s got the inverted pentagon on a circle, the classic symbol of Satanism,’ said Icke, ringing the decoration on one of the clergyman’s robe with his laser pointer. ‘It’s so obvious, I thought it must have been Photoshopped.’
But the devil-worshipper helping to officiate at the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton is apparently the least of the Royal Family’s faults. Later, the screen was filled with a photo of the Queen with slanted eyes, next to an image of a green lizard-man. This shows her Majesty in her true form, Icke explains, as a human-lizard hybrid.
Incredibly, Icke believes that the world is being run by a race of child-sacrificing, shape-shifting, reptilian aliens — and thousands of people seem to believe him.
Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of David Icke. But while wild claims such as these forced Icke to flee the spotlight 20 years ago — after he declared on a BBC chat show that he was the son of God — his conspiracy theories are now proving lucrative.
Icke, now 59, is, sadly, a man for our times. The messianic figure in the turquoise tracksuit (which supposedly channelled positive energy) was once the most ridiculed man in Britain. But looking at the 2,100 people who had paid £45 a head to listen to him in New York at the weekend, it seems Icke has had the last laugh.
Delusional: Icke makes his extraordinary claim that he was the son of God during an interview on Terry Wogan's chat show in 1991
He got a standing ovation and his audience headed back home to switch on their computers and immerse themselves in their world of conspiracy theory sites and chat forums.
No matter how hard they search, they’ll find few stories as unlikely as Icke’s. Goalkeeper for Coventry City before severe arthritis forced him to give up football at just 21, he became one of the BBC’s most high-profile presenters, before being sacked for refusing to pay the poll tax.
He then became a spokesman for the Green Party. By 1990, he was having mystical experiences. A psychic’s claims that Icke would ‘heal the Earth’ were widely reported, while Icke visited a burial ground in Peru — where he said a hill ‘talked’ to him.
His personal life was equally bizarre. He married Linda Atherton in 1974, but had an affair with psychic Deborah Shaw, and moved his mistress into the marital home in 1990 to live in a polygamous ménage à trois.
When, in 1991, he announced on Terry Wogan’s BBC1 chat show that he was the son of God and that the world would end in 1997, his own world fell apart.
Half lizard? Icke has bizarrely suggested the Queen and Barack Obama are part of an alien sect that run the world.
He has written 18 books, published in 40 countries, under such titles as And The Truth Shall Set You Free and Infinite Love Is The Only Truth. His website receives 600,000 hits a week and he has a lucrative sideline selling DVD recordings of his performances for £35 a copy.
He is using his latest sell-out tour — which takes in Australia, the Netherlands, Croatia, a string of dates across the U.S. and a grand finale at Wembley Arena next October — to promote his new book Human Race Get Off Your Knees.
Americans are his biggest fans — it might explain the transatlantic accent Icke now seems to have — and it’s not hard to see why.
They have always been especially susceptible to conspiracy theories, which now constitute a multi-million dollar industry of radio shows and websites in the U.S.
Much of this is founded on a suspicion of people in power. Indeed, in a recent poll, only a quarter of U.S. adults said they trust their government.
Superstitious: Icke used to wear this fetching turquoise tracksuit as it supposedly channelled positive energy to him
There’s some New Age waffling about overcoming negativity and humanity’s ‘infinite consciousness’ which cheers up listeners — but rather a lot more which alarms them.
Yet Icke’s scaremongering about a ‘New World Order’ of politicians, Zionists, financiers and secret societies — including the Jesuits, Templars and Freemasons — all plotting together to take over the world, is not all that original.
What’s different is that few of even the most wild-eyed conspiracists believe invisible alien lizard people are calling the shots.
Icke tells people we cannot ‘decode’ the reptilians because, conveniently, they are visible only on a light frequency that humans cannot detect.
Meanwhile, we have been brainwashed so that what we think is reality is only a hologram. Icke’s vision is all eerily reminiscent of the Matrix series of sci-fi films, starring Keanu Reeves, about a man who discovers we are all living in a dream world manufactured by evil supermachines.
He has plenty more of this hokey scientific gobbledygook, together with carefully cherry-picked quotes from scientists and rather longer extracts — which he laboriously reads out — from rather more dubious sources such as science fiction writers, fictional characters and even New York’s most famous serial killer, the ‘Son of Sam’ David Berkowitz.
Icke’s revelations include everything from the fact that the moon was built by aliens to the fact that the Rothschild dynasty of Jewish bankers are responsible for everything from the Russian revolution to the 2008 economic meltdown.
Popular: Icke has written 18 books while his
website receives more than 600,000 hits a week. He also sells DVDs of
his show at £35 a time
The list includes plenty of Jews. Although Icke insists he isn’t anti-Semitic but only anti-Zionist, his diatribe against Jewish bankers such as Goldman Sachs and their ‘control of global bloody finance’ has alarming echoes of what the Nazis used to say.
His bombardment of ‘facts’ is so rapid that listeners barely have time to consider if they ring even remotely true. And so he argues that the New World Order is so obsessed with symbolism that it chose to assassinate Princess Diana in Paris’s Pont de l’Alma tunnel. Why? Because Pont de l’Alma means ‘passage of the moon goddess’ and Diana was named after the Roman goddess of the moon.
It sounds good — but it’s tripe: the Pont de l’Alma was named after a Crimean War battle. But who cares, Icke is on to his next revelation: that the reptilians are obsessed with twin towers. The Royal Family get married in Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s which both have twin towers and, yes, that’s why the lizards blew up the Twin Towers on 9/11.
Interviewed last week on a radio show, Icke couldn’t hide his delight that in parts of the world where he has previously ‘talked to a phone box’, he is now filling out 2,000-seat auditoriums.
For anyone who stops sniggering at Planet Icke long enough to think about that, it may not be a laughing matter.
