David Icke

[dave_c]

Can someone briefly describe his main beliefs for example:

-His version of the history of earth, it's beginning and end.

-His version the political Hierachy of the World.

-What he predicted and what will happen according to him.

-His flaws, what did not happen the predictions he got wrong.

- Its b***ocks

- Everyone in power is really a reptile

- Eh? Seriously is this a joke? Mr Icke is Madder than One Legged Unicyclist Hairy Mad Jack McMaddock of Maddison Way, Aberdeen.

Click here for a website about his beliefs which - as has already been stated above - are nonsense.

He's mad. He's mad. He's madder than Mad Jack McMad the winner of last year's Mr Madman competition. (Edmund Blackadder describing his cousin, MacAdder)

[goldenboy]

some of his ideas about metaphysics are as plausible as any other explainations about metaphysics and do explore the edges of scientific research in a kind of way.

Wikipedia explain it nicely.

I thoroughly recommend his books. We've got them in the library where I work and they provide us with hours of innocent amusement. The diagrams of the reptile people are particularly good.

He is seemingly mad, but he's making an awful lot of money by being so ;-) I always remember the purple shell suit episode on Wogan, think thats about the time he went from being a respected TV sports presenter to allegedly a raving nutter.

hello all numb nuts!

why would you take an author like Icke at face value for heavens sake?

Media viruses exploit our repressed thoughts and energies � They are the hidden agendas of our popular culture�the closeted issues we have become too oppressive (or too politically correct?) to discuss in the light of day. If we are afraid to face spousal brutality, we get John Bobbit. Afraid of interracial marriage? O.J. An absolute monarchy? Camilla-gate. Child abuse? Michael Jackson. Media viruses [such as Icke's works] present us, in cartoonish simplicity and amplification, with the unspoken issues of our cultural present. They crystallize for us our diffused ambiguities so that we may discuss them in the safety of the �third person.� They are like dreams and � tend to present us with the most pressing issues of our collective psychic shadow.

It�s basically a fancy way of saying �trojan horse�. But in this case, instead of soldiers coming out of a wooden horse, we have a bunch of ideas about the inhumanity and unworthiness of our rulers coming out of a giant wooden reptilian alien.

Its characteristic feature is a constant factor of absurdity that leads to a rejection of the story by the upper layers of the target society and an absorbtion at a deep unconscious level of the symbols conveyed by the encounter.
