David Icke

David Icke (pronounced "Ike," born April 29, 1952) is a former professional football player, reporter, BBC television sports presenter, and British Green Party national spokesperson. Since 1990, he has been what he calls a "full-time investigator into who and what is really controlling the world." http://www.icke-media.com/biography.html

Conspiracy writings

Icke has published 15 books outlining his views, which are a mixture of New Age philosophy and apocalyptic conspiracism, combined with what many interpret as anti-Semitic views. Michael Barkun, in his 2003 study of conspiracy theory subculture, A Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America, writes that Icke is "the most fluent of conspiracy authors, which gives his writings a clarity rarely found in the genre."

At the heart of Icke's ideas is the belief that the world is being controlled by a secret government. In 1996, in his book ... and the truth will set you free, he claimed this government was financed by bankers and businessmen such as the Rothschilds and Rockefellers, though he later clarified that he believes the Jewish members of the ruling elite are not actually Jews, but lizards. According to British journalist Simon Jones, Icke claims that:

Ordinary people are being massively duped into believing that the ordinary course of world events are the consequence of known political forces and random, uncontrollable events. However, the course of humanity is being manipulated at every level ... Now you may be wondering just what nefarious activities these people could possibly get up to. Icke, of course, has the answer. These individuals arrange for incidents to occur around the world, which then elicit a response from the public ("something must be done"), and in turn allows those in power to do whatever they had planned to do in the first place. http://www.simon-jones.org.uk/articles/david_icke.htm

Icke cites the Holocaust, Oklahoma City bombing, the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, the war in Bosnia, and the September 11, 2001 attacks as examples of events caused by the secret government.

The New-Age aspect of Icke's philosophy, writes Jones, argues that people live in a "multi-dimensional consciousness," and should abandon the false existence the world government provides, which will cause the hierarchy to collapse.

In 1999, Icke wrote and published The Biggest Secret: The Book That Will Change the World, in which he said the planet was being run by a New World Order controlled by a race of reptilian humanoids called the "Babylonian Brotherhood". He wrote:

My own resaerch suggests that it is from another dimension, the lower fourth dimension, that the reptilian control and manipulation is primarily orchestrated. Other people know this as the lower astral dimension, the legendary home of demons and malevolent antities in their black magic rituals ...

According to Icke, the reptiles' "hybrid reptilian-human DNA" allows them to change from reptilian to human form if they consume human blood. He has drawn parallels with the 1980s science-fiction series V, in which the earth is taken over by reptiloid aliens disguised as humans.

The reptilian group involves many prominent people and practically every world leader from Britain's late Queen Mother to George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Harold Wilson, and Tony Blair. These people are either themselves reptilian, or work for the reptiles as what Icke calls slave-like victims of multiple personality disorder:

The Rothschilds, Rockefellers, the British royal family, and the ruling political and economic families of the U.S. and the rest of the world come from these SAME bloodlines. It is not because of snobbery, it is to hold as best they can a genetic structure — the reptilian-mammalian DNA combination which allows them to "shape-shift".

Icke has written that the Rothschild family planned Adolf Hitler's rise to power, and that Hitler himself was a Rothschild. http://www.davidicke.com/icke/articles/hitler.html http://www.davidicke.com/icke/articles/hitler.html

He describes "shape-shifting" as a "phenomena in which witnesses have reported seeing people (most often those in positions of power), transform before their eyes, from a human form to a reptilian one and then back again". According to Christine Fitzgerald, a confidante of Diana, Princess of Wales, Diana believed that the British royal family was connected to reptiles and that she had seen them shape-shift.

Icke has since published a number of additional books on the same theme. His latest work sees George W. Bush, also a reptiloid, playing a key role in what Icke alleges is a 9/11 conspiracy (see also Bush family conspiracy theory).
