David Icke and his Conspiracy Theories
From Lady Di to Extraterrestials Icke Looks for the Hidden Truth
Dec 18, 2008
Over the past decade, former BBC TV presenter David Icke has gained a reputation as one of the world’s most celebrated conspiracy theorists. What sets Icke apart is the way he takes all the stand-alone conspiracy theories that have been doing the rounds, adds in some all of his own, then joins up the dots and bingo, he’s got an explanation for just about everything that’s gone wrong, ever.
JFK to Jimmy Carter, Icke Has a Conspiracy Theory to Fit
Few events or public figures of the past few centuries escape the David Icke treatment. Indeed, Icke’s conspiracy theories actually pre-date the Babylonians. Literally all human life is there, at least the famous kind, who usually turn out to be puppets of a sinister all-controlling elite, aka the Illuminati. Icke’s targets include the Queen of England and George Bush (both of them). FDR and JFK. Josef Stalin and Adolf Hitler. Milton Friedman and Jimmy Carter. Ronald Reagan and Karl Marx. And many more.
Altogether, David Icke has written sixteen books. Although self-published, many are best sellers. He remains a massively popular figure on the Internet, and a sell-out attraction at live gigs either side of the Atlantic.
The Assassination of Princess Di – the Unanswered Questions
So what’s the secret of this success? The books are very well, even exhaustively researched and frequently convincing. Take the alleged assassination of Princess Diana, dealt with at length in “The Biggest Secret” (Bridge of Love, February 1999). Did you know that there are seventeen security cameras between the Ritz Hotel and the Pont de l’Alma Tunnel (a place reeking with Satanic symbolism) and they all failed at the crucial moment? Or that the Paris police radio network also blacked out simultaneously for twenty minutes? Or that a doctor just happened to be passing the other way at the time of the fateful crash, although his contribution did nothing to save for the princess, who had survived the initial impact? Or that she took more than an hour and a half to get to hospital, although the crash location was at the heart of one of the world’s most sophisticated metropoles with several hospitals within a few minutes drive?
Food for thought? Many think so. So why do others consider Icke as mad as the proverbial Hatter?
The Mother of All Conspiracy Theories. Lizards Rule the Earth
What really blows Icke’s theories into orbit for most people is his contention about who is behind all the interconnecting elites who are working against humanity, such as the Freemasons and the Bilderberg Group. Apparently, this is an advanced race of extra terrestrial, lizard-like aliens, some of whom can adopt human form. These reptilians play the tune to which all our political and economic "leaders" dance, and have done throughout history. They thrive on fear, and have engineered every negative event from stock market crashes to world wars.
Of course, this stuff is so bizarre that it colours one’s perceptions of everything else Icke says. The question is, when so much of his work sounds far from mad, as indeed he does himself at his personal presentations which are something of a tour de force, where does he think he is going with this absurd lizard stuff?
Then again, perhaps the truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
