David Icke, is he actually sane?

[RATTER15]

I think most people find him a bit of a fruit cake but is he actually sane?

Reptilians Etc, where does he find this stuff, is it all in his imagination?

Is it any more or less believable than the God theory?

Ramblings of a madman?

Does he have supporters in this theory, I have never heard anybody else talk of this nonsense.

[EDDIE51]

Not mad, very clever and cunning but totally sane.
I don't for a second think he actually believes any of the rubbish he spouts, he has just hit on a very clever money making scheme and he plays up to it. He knows that the more outrageous the statements and claims he makes the more cash he will rake in, the more publicity he gets the more cash he makes.

[Teddy_boy]

Surely he only makes cash from gullible fools? If hes not mad then is he just a devious crook?

[weecalf]

The thing is nobody can prove him wrong .That where the problems start no matter how silly an idea mabe seem to be if it can not be proved wrong it has to stand thats its possible

[cassa333]

Which is more nutty?
Sitting in your lounge muttering to yourself or making shed loads of money muttering the same thing on t
he stage?

[RATTER15]

I think im with Eddie51 on this one.

I dont think he can be called a crook, any more than people that spout religion, its all about praying on the gullible for one thing or another, very little to choose between them when it comes to believability to be honest.

[Teddy_boy]

So merely a con man then? He did claim to be the son of god.

[Anlyn]

I cant think of a bigger con than that, can you?

[jno]

a useful rule of thumb is that if he's richer than you are he's smarter than you are. (That doesn't include those who inherited wealth.) Society is based on making money; if he's figured out how to make it work for him, he's sane.

[Teddy_boy]

Isnt it crooked to con people out of money? Hes just a modern day snake oil salesman preying on the weak and the impressionable.

[murraymints]

I think...someone gave him the boxed set of V for Xmas one year....!! Who really cares ...each to their own God !!!

[Teddy_boy]

Jno what a sad basis for human worth.

[Teddy_boy]

Thats his dad youre talking about .

[flip_flop]

weecalf - that rationale has been used by 'organised' religion for hundreds and hundreds of years. Despite there not being even the tiniest scrap of evidence for the existence of a greater being, there are millions and millions who believe.

Icke is no different to L Ron Hubbard. Hubbard said (paraphrasing) that the easiest way to get rich was to invent a religion, so he came up with Scientology with all its weird ramblings - and a short 50 or so years later the 'Church' of scientology is ludicrously rich.

Icke is doing the same thing, albeit on a smaller (at the moment) scale.

Are Icke's and Scientology's ridiculous claims any less believable than the ridiculous claims of any of the organised religion? No, I don't thank they are

[Teddy_boy]

Dont scientologists believe in weird reptiles too? Ickes a con man thats for certain , but its only possible because people are gullible.

[Philtaz]

weecalf,

That the Queen, President Obama et al are 8ft tall reptiles would be one of the more obvious theories it would be possible to de-bunk.......

[RATTER15]

>>a useful rule of thumb is that if he's richer than you are he's smarter than you are.<<

or maybe unscrupulous, callous, uncaring, bent.

A very big flaw in that comment jno. apart from that do you really think that everybody's lives revolve around money, mine certainly doesnt, I would like a bit more money certainly but I would lower my ethical or moral standards to get it.

So im sorry, a rather silly comment.

[RATTER15]

ooops!! *but I wouldnt lower my ethical*

[Teddy_boy]

I second that. Your theory jno would mean a rapist , a child abuser , a murderer could buy a £1 lottery ticket win millions and become better?
Final nail in the money coffin, wasnt osama bin laden a saudi millionaire?

[Old_Geezer]

Is anyone actually sane ? Just read through the opinons here, or anywhere else for that matter. Everyone's mad except you and I, and even you are a little mad.

[jackthehat]

jno said 'smarter', not 'nicer' or 'better', and I can't think of many insane people who have amassed a fortune simply by force of their own personality.
