Reptilians Are Still Popular

A quick look at Google News yields four news stories with Reptilians featured.
Everything from an article about how "Secret services 'must be made more transparent'" to "What will the 2011 Model of UFO Look Like?" contain either references to Reptilians in the article itself or comments about the articles.

Searching for Reptilians on Google yields hits for David Icke, shapeshifting reptilians, greys, reptiles, Illuminati, reptoids, aliens and reptilian agenda, which leads me to believe that these searches aren't being run by children looking for info for school projects.

I know here, just about every article I do on Reptilians goes to the top, or close to the top of the most read pages here.

So people still hold the Reptilians in high regard in the Conspiracy circles.

What is the fascination?

Well I pointed out in an article I wrote elsewhere that Reptilians have figured into science fiction and fantasy lore for a long time.
And that's not even counting early mythology.

The earliest fictional account I could find about Reptilians (on TV) was in 1967, when the British TV show Dr Who introduced the Ice Warriors.
The Ice warriors were reptilian humanoids, but their features were usually hidden under heavy armor.

Then in 1973, Dr. Who introduced the Draconians, a space-faring feudal civilization of reptilian humanoids.
The Draconians in Dr. Who were articulate and had an advanced culture, very much like feudal Japan and they came from the planet Draconia.

Now Draconians are actually listed as a race of reptoids on many websites devoted to Reptilians.
They are even mentioned in the Dulce Wars of 1979-1985.
The "real" Draconians are said to have come from colonies in Alpha Draconis.
But, they originated here on Earth.

By the way, Dr.Who also had another reptilian race of beings known as The Silurians.
They were actually scientifically advanced sentient humanoids who predated the dawn of man.
So they originated on Earth, like the "real" Draconians.
And also the Silurians live underground.

The Silurians debuted in 1970, a full 29 years before David Icke's The Biggest Secret came out.

Icke was born in 1952, so that would have made him about 15 when the Ice Warriors showed up on Dr. Who.

Of course if you really wanna tie Icke's Reptilian Conspiracy to the media, look at the original "V" that debuted in 1983, 16 years before The Biggest Secret came out.

To quote, AC/DC, Who Made Who?

Reptilian Humanoids, V and the Underground City

The most popular subject on this blog is almost always Reptilian Humanoids conspiracy theories.
I have done several entries on them here, and I even created a Hub about it on Hub Pages that is pretty popular.
So what is it about reptilians that seems to get so much attention?

Well if it is a conspiracy, it's pretty far reaching.

You have reptilians in mythology like Quetzalcoatl (the "feathered serpent" of the Aztecs), the Dragon Kings (from Chinese mythology), The Serpent (from the Bible) and Boreas (or Aquilon to the Romans) the god of the cold north wind.

Cryptozoology is full of reptilian beings like the Loveland Frog and the Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp.

Of course reptilians figure in heavily in some ufology and conspiracy theories, especially those of David Icke.

And Sci-Fi, comic books, TV and movies, video games and fiction in general is full of strange reptilian beings, both in space and here on the Earth like "The Race" from Harry Turtledove's Worldwar series, The Visitors from the 1983 and 2009 "V" TV series, Bowser (aka King Koopa) from Nintendo's Mario series, The Lizard (from Spider Man) and Killer Croc from Batman.

So what is it that makes reptilians so popular, especially as villains?

We like Godzilla (okay he's a huge monster, but he's kinda humanoid, just really big) we like The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but those are the only two cases where reptilian creatures are heroes that I can think of.

Is it the primal fear some people have of snakes?
Is it the Bible story that shows a reptilian tricking the human race?

Did the 1983 TV series "V" really kick all this off?
I mean it was popular, but the series only lasted one season.
But it all fairness, "V" must have touched a nerve because since 1984, eighteen novels have been released, an 18-issue V comic book series by DC comics was done, a manga series was produced in Japan and even a PC video game was made.

Well V wasn't the main stream media's first run in with reptilians.

Brian Dunning has suggested that a 1934 Los Angeles Times article may have actually been the origin of the modern day reptilian theory.
The article said that a geophysical mining engineer named G.Warren Shufelt had found subterranean labyrinths beneath Los Angeles that led to an underground city.
The city had been built by an advanced race of “Lizard People” to escape surface catastrophes some 5000 years ago.

You can see the article reprinted here at Reptoids.com:
http://reptoids.com/Vault/Schufeltsearch.htm
They even have the original map there.

It's noteworthy that Shufelt convinced the City of Los Angeles to allow him to dig a tunnel straight down to find the underground city.
The shaft hit 250 feet, but nothing was ever found.

So was there no underground city?
Did they not dig deep enough?

The City of Los Angeles must have gotten tired of it, because on March 5th 1934, the tunnel was filled in and the contract with L.A was canceled.

But the city never came out and said the theory was hog-wash.
As a matter of fact, in December of 1947, Mr. Arche Dunning of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce made a statement that would suggest no cover up or government conspiracy was at work here.
He said:

"It is quite possible, of course, that the supposed labyrinth really exists. But in view of the fact that the overlaying area is the immediate Civic Center area where an important building program is to be carried out, including federal, state, county and city building, there is little probability of any further excavations."

"V" Versus Barack Obama?

Is the new series "V" an assault on Obama?
It seems a lot of people in the media seem to think so......

"V" Relaunch Intended As Good TV, Not "Frenetic Political Code-Mangling"
"Now, this new series is set to launch, and with it comes the enormous fear that somehow, ABC intends it as covert anti-Obama propaganda. YES, THIS IS A TRUE THING, HAPPENING IN OUR LIVES."
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/03/ivi-relaunch-intended-as_n_344288.html

V as an Alien Allegory Attack Against Barack Obama
"ABC's new sci-fi series V kicks off tonight. It concerns a charismatic leader who comes out of nowhere promising a bright future and a better life for all Americans. Is that leader Barack Obama or is it a space lizard?"
http://gawker.com/5396265/v-as-an-alien-allegory-attack-against-barack-obama

'V' aims at Obamamania
Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/chi-tc-tvcolumn-v-1102-1103nov03,0,7062976.story

To my knowledge, David Icke is NOT working for ABC.
It doesn't really matter, because V had the best rating for any new series premiere this season.
V downed one of my favorite shows NCIS, (yes I love that show) with just over thirteen million viewers.

And speaking of reptilian shape-shifters.....

Balloon Boy Just Wanted to Warn Us about the Lizard People "According to Balloon boy dad Richard Heene, Hillary Clinton is a shape-shifting reptilian humanoid. You may be surprised to learn that he is not the only one who believes this!"
http://gawker.com/5385015/balloon-boy-just-wanted-to-warn-us-about-the-lizard-people

So because of V are we looking at a new run on Reptilian conspiracy theories?

Illuminati Symbolism

Over at The Vigilant Citizen, they have a VERY in depth article on Lady Gaga being an Illuminati Puppet.
It is very well worth the read.
http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=1676

I have read about Illuminati symbolism for awhile.
Actually, I think the first place I saw anything was on David Icke's site.
They had a huge section there of everyday symbols and things we take for granted that he says are actually Illuminati "clues".
That made me start looking at things, but if you read too much into the symbolism, just about everything is an Illuminati marker.
Reading Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum didnt help any.
(Which Foucault's Pendulum is an interesting story by itself. I never buy hardcover books. I always wait for them to come out in paperback, but I bought Pendulum off the shelf back in the late 80s. Something about it caught my eye.)

I have to admit, a lot of the Illuminati symbol theory is very interesting, but taken too far, it can make you very paranoid.
I wonder what your home would look like if you removed everything that might be considered an occult symbol?
I mean EVERYTHING.

Of course you can look at this as if they are right, and the Illuminati have invaded almost everything.
Or you can look at it as they are paranoid and they see the Illuminati in everything.

Either way I like to explore all the theories and look for common threads.

October 14th, 2008

Well it's the 14th.
No spaceships.
Really cool cloud formations, but no ships.
No aliens.
::sighs::
No I didn't really expect it.
I HOPED it would happen but I didn't go to sleep last night like a kid on Christmas Eve.
I had to go outside to check on one of our dogs last night, and I stopped and looked up at the almost full moon and wondered how I would have reacted if a huge starship suddenly floated by and blocked the Moon.
The truth?
I would have freaked out.

At least people don't seem to have panicked. That's good. I'm very glad of that.
People were flipping out because they fired up the LHC, I really didn't want to hear about that again. I think some poor soul in the UK committed suicide over the LHC.

But one thing I have noticed among the Internet Conspiracy people the past few days is really not good.
Some of them are as angry and mean spirited as those that look down on them. They seem to delight in others being wrong. Calling others gullible and stupid for not believing as they do.

Face it people, the conspiracy followers are usually free thinkers. They don't take the "company line" hook line and sinker. They think outside the box. (Enough cliched phrases there?).
I understand why some of these people feel alone and outcast, just from reading their posts and seeing how other people,people that should greet their ideas with open minds,treat them.
If you want to believe the Illuminati,Reptilians, Satan, NWO, Aliens etc are responsible for all the wrong on the planet, that's your right.
And you are also free to disagree.
But resorting to name calling and verbal beatdowns on people?
That's just wrong.

I read all kinds of theories. Some, to be honest, I think are really weird.
BUT, I keep an open mind and think about it.

Look at it this way, before you jump on someone for believing Blossom Goodchild, or Billy Meier, or Bob Lazar, or David Icke...just remember there are people that would judge you just as readily because you think the Government was behind 9/11, or that some shadowy evil group is controlling the world.

"I have met the enemy and it is us."

Reptilian Proof? Part 1

With all the interest in the Reptilians lately, I thought we'd go back into the past, fact and fiction, and that muddied area in between......

Reptilian humanoids are a common motif in mythology, folklore, science fiction, ufology, and the conspiracy theories of John Rhodes ( BTW, Rhodes is considered the first Reptilian researcher.) and David Icke. They are variously said to be beings that evolved on Earth parallel to mankind, extraterrestrials, supernatural entities, or the remains of a pre-human civilization, and are known by many names, including Snakepeople, Reptoids, dinosauroids, lizardfolk or lizardmen and Chitauri.

Reptilian humanoids of varying depictions have been common in the myths and legends of many cultures throughout history.

Cecrops I, the mythical first King of Athens was half man, half snake. This is illustrated, for example, on a frieze on the Pergamon Altar in Pergamum. In these images from Pergamum, some of which depict gigantomachy, one sees the giant Klyteros with huge serpents between his legs. Boreas (Aquilon to the Romans) was the Greek god of the cold north wind, described by Pausanias as a winged man with serpents between his legs.

(Okay I went back and checked....his top half was shaped like a man and the bottom half in serpent OR fish-tail form. He is also considered MYTHICAL. So we either have a link here to a lizard man, or a fish man. H.P.Lovecraft would be ecstatic.)

David Icke ,part 6

In 1999, David Icke's books were removed from Indigo stores across Ontario, and several venues on his speaking tour were cancelled, after protests from the Canadian Jewish Congress. The University of Toronto allowed his planned speech there to go ahead, despite the presence of 70 protesters, including the Green Party of Ontario, outside the Hart House Theatre. Icke received a standing ovation from the audience after speaking for five hours.

University of Toronto law professor Edward Morgan wrote on September 30, 1999 to the university's president, Robert Pritchard: "Having been involved in a number of the more renowned cases in Canada dealing with hate literature, it is my view that this is precisely the type of vilifying material with which the Supreme Court was concerned in its decision regarding the Criminal Code ban. The publications praise classic anti-Semitic tracts, and are replete with references to a secret society carrying on a global conspiracy led by a manipulating Jewish clique. The material which I have reviewed finds no place in the Canadian marketplace of ideas."

Sumari Communications, which hosted Icke's tour, denied the allegations: "I dispute the anti-Semite issue because the Jewish community has chosen to isolate anti-Semitic quotes in David's books which he himself uses quotes from Jewish authors to prove his theories. No one is forcing these people to be here, but what is important is that they have the choice. It is called freedom and David doesn't even mention the Jews in his talks."

Icke himself addressed the concerns during his speech: "Is this a Jewish plot? No, No, No. Is it a plot? Yes, Yes, Yes. We are being manipulated, and I do not care if you are Jewish, Chinese, Catholic, etc. We are all being manipulated. And those people that are offended by what I have to say, they should choose not to be offended."

Icke lives in Ryde on the Isle of Wight, where he makes occasional public appearances.

In January 2003, he travelled to Brazil, and later talked about having used Ayahuasca: "[It] is a plant – a rain forest plant – which they turn in to what they call a turn and Shaman in South America have been using it for centuries at least to take people into other realms of reality.... I took it twice and it was an experience – particularly on the 2nd night – that completely transformed my view of life. What it did was take my intellectual understanding that the world is an illusion into the realms of knowing it’s an illusion and there’s a difference between intellectually understanding it’s an illusion and this level of knowing it because you’ve experienced it. I got to the age of 50 without taking a single magic mushroom and I never even had one smoke of pot or anything."

David Icke ,part 5

Icke believes that Combat 18 is a front for the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which in turn is an "Illuminati front." The role of the ADL, he says, is to "brand as anti-Semitic" anyone who gets close to "the truth." In ... And the Truth Shall Set You Free, he wrote: "In Britain, I am told by an extremely reliable source very close to the intelligence organisations that the "far-right" group, Combat 18, is a front for the sinister Anti-Defamation League, the United States arm of the Israeli/Rothschild secret service, Mossad. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has been operating in Britain and Europe since at least 1991 and its role is to brand as anti-Semitic anyone who is getting close to the truth of what is going on. What better way to discredit an investigator than to have a "far-Right" group like Combat 18 to praise them?"

Icke has strongly denied that his reptiles represent Jews, calling it "friggin' nonsense." "I am not an anti-Semite!", he told The Guardian, "I have a great respect for the Jewish people." He maintains that the reptilians are not human, and therefore not Jewish, but are "extra-dimensional entities" that enter and control human minds. "This is not a Jewish plot. This is not a plot on the world by Jewish people," he told Jon Ronson.

During a question-and-answer session after one of his lectures, Icke told Jones: "I believe that people have a right to believe, to read, and have access to all information, so that they can then make up their own minds what to think. If something is a nonsense, and if something doesn't stand up, it will be shown to be a nonsense in the spotlight of the public arena."

British journalist Louis Theroux, reviewing Jon Ronson's Them: Adventures with Extremists, cautioned against accusing Icke of anti-Semitism: "Icke's 'theory' is basically The Protocols of the Elders of Zion with a new cast and a few script changes. Not surprisingly, Icke has come under suspicion of anti-Semitism.... Not only might it be unfair to Icke, but by implying that he is so dangerous that he has to be censored, the watchdogs are giving a patina of seriousness to ideas that are — let's face it — very, very silly."

David Icke ,part 4

Michael Barkun, Professor of Political Science at the Maxwell School, Syracuse University, writes that Icke has moved aggressively to increase the size of his audience with the use of an elaborate website, by arranging speaking tours in the UK, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, and by selling books and videotapes.

Barkun writes that Icke has "clearly sought to cultivate the extreme right," but that the relationship is tense because of the New Age "baggage" that Icke brings with him. Barkun cites the London Evening Standard, which wrote in 1995 that: "uncanny parallels are emerging between Icke's thoughts ... and the writings of senior figures in the armed militia movement in America." Barkun writes that Icke's relationship with militias and Christian Patriots is complex. On the one hand, Icke believes the Christian patriots to be the only Americans who understand the truth about the New World Order, but on the other, he allegedly told a Christian Patriot group: "I don't know which I dislike more, the world controlled by the Brotherhood, or the one you want to replace it with."

Some of Icke's theories have been controversially attacked by some as anti-Semitic because of his references to a secret elite that rules the world, which includes prominent Jewish banking families, who he says planned the Holocaust and financed Adolf Hitler, and his use of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. In ... And the Truth Shall Set You Free he wrote:

I strongly believe that a small Jewish clique which has contempt for the mass of Jewish people worked with non-Jews to create the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the Second World War. This Jewish/non-Jewish Elite used the First World War to secure the Balfour Declaration and the principle of the Jewish State of Israel. They then dominated the Versailles Peace Conference and created the circumstances which made the Second World War inevitable. They financed Hitler to power in 1933 and made the funds available for his rearmament."

In 1995, Alick Bartholomew of Gateway, at that time Icke's publisher, told the London Evening Standard that an early draft of ... And the Truth Shall Set You Free contained "revisionist Holocaust material."

Icke has cited white supremacist, neo-Nazi and other far-right publications in his books. British journalist Simon Jones notes that the bibliography of ... And the Truth Shall Set You Free lists The Spotlight, formerly published by the now-defunct Liberty Lobby, and which Icke calls "excellent," and On Target, published by the Australian League of Rights, which has organized speaking tours for Holocaust denier David Irving. Jones writes: "It's tempting to dismiss David Icke as a confused and ignorant man, manipulated by extremists in order to present their philosophy in a socially acceptable format. But Icke clearly understands the implications of his words."

Mark Honigsbaum has written about the apparent link between the more extreme New Age proponents and the far-right armed militia movement in the U.S. Icke's books contain multiple references to the "Illuminati," which Icke and the militia movement believe constitutes the secret government they call the "New World Order". In 1995, Honigsbaum wrote in the London Evening Standard that Combat 18, the British neo-Nazi group, was publicizing Icke's speaking tour of the UK in its internal magazine, Putsch. The magazine wrote that Icke spoke about "'the sheep' and how the 'illuminati', uses them for its own ends". The story continued: "Icke began to talk about the big conspiracy by a group of bankers, media moguls etc. — always being clever enough not to mention what all these had in common."

David Icke ,part 3

In 1999, Icke wrote and published The Biggest Secret: The Book that Will Change the World, in which he identified the extraterrestrial Prison Warders as reptilians from the constellation Draco. They walk erect and appear to be human, living not only on the planets they come from, but also in caverns and tunnels under the earth. They have cross-bred with humans, which has created "hybrids" who are "possessed" by the full-blooded reptilians. The reptiles' hybrid reptilian-human DNA allows them to change from reptilian to human form if they consume human blood. Icke has drawn parallels with the 1980s science-fiction series V, in which the earth is taken over by reptiloid aliens disguised as humans.

According to Icke, the reptilian group includes many prominent people and practically every world leader from Britain's late Queen Mother to George H.W. Bush, Hillary 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 since published additional books on the same theme. His latest work sees George W. Bush, also a reptilian, playing a key role in what Icke alleges is a 9/11 conspiracy. In Tales From The Time Loop and other works, Icke states that most organized religions, especially Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are Illuminati creations designed to divide and conquer the human race through endless conflicts. In a similar vein, Icke believes racial and ethnic divisions are an illusion promoted by the reptilians, and that racism fuels the Illuminati agenda.

David Icke ,part 2

In his online autobiography, Icke writes that, in March 1990, while he was a national spokesperson for the Green Party, he received a message from the spirit world through a medium, identified by The Guardian as Betty Shine, a medium from Brighton. She told him he was a healer who had been chosen for his courage and sent to heal the earth, and that he had been directed into football to learn discipline. He was going to leave politics and would become famous, she said, writing five books in three years, and one day there would be a great earthquake, and the "sea will reclaim land," because human beings were abusing the earth.

When Icke told the Green Party leadership what he had experienced, he was banned from speaking at public meetings on their behalf. In 1991, after a trip to Peru, he wrote Truth Vibrations, an autobiographical work which summarized his life experiences up to that point, with an emphasis on his recent spiritual encounters. He began to wear only turquoise and on March 27, 1991, held a press conference to announce: "I am a channel for the Christ spirit. The title was given to me very recently by the Godhead."

In an interview on the Terry Wogan show that year, he announced that he was "the son of God," and that Britain would be devastated by tidal waves and earthquakes. His statements were met with laughter and ridicule from the studio audience, derision in the press, and suggestions that he was mentally ill. Icke later said that he had been misinterpreted by the media. According to Icke, he used the term "the son of God" "... in the sense of being an aspect, as I understood it at the time, of the Infinite consciousness that is everything. As I have written before, we are like droplets of water in an ocean of infinite consciousness" (Tales From The Time Loop 2003).

After being widely ridiculed, he disappeared from public view. He has written that, for several years, he was unable to walk down the street without people pointing and laughing, and that this experience helped him find the courage to develop his controversial ideas, because he was no longer afraid of what people thought of him.

Icke has published at least 20 books outlining his views, a mixture of New Age philosophy and apocalyptic conspiracism. American political scientist Michael Barkun, in a 2003 study of conspiracy theory subculture, writes that Icke is "the most fluent of conspiracy authors, which gives his writings a clarity rarely found in the genre." His talent for communicating with people led The Observer to call him "the Greens' Tony Blair."

Icke's core ideas are outlined in four books written over seven years: The Robots' Rebellion (1994), ... And the Truth Shall Set You Free (1995), The Biggest Secret: The Book that Will Change the World (1999), and Children of the Matrix (2001). The basic conspiracy theory is that the world is controlled by a network of secret societies referred to as the "Brotherhood," at the apex of which stand the "Illuminati" or "Global Elite." The goal of the Brotherhood is a world government, a plan that Icke says was laid out in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which Icke says are really the revealed plans of the Illuminati. Icke, in common with many other conspiracy theorists, says the methods of these conspirators include control of the world's economies and the use of mind-control techniques.

The Global Elite controls the Brotherhood and the world using what Icke calls a "pyramid of manipulation," consisting of sets of hierarchical structures involving banking, business, the military, education, the media, religion, drug companies, intelligence agencies, and organized crime. At the very top of the pyramid are what Icke calls the "Prison Warders," who are not human. He writes that: "A pyramidal structure of human beings has been created under the influence and design of the extraterrestrial Prison Warders and their overall master, the Luciferic Consciousness. They control the human clique at the top of the pyramid, which I have dubbed the Global Elite."

Icke cites the Holocaust, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the September 11, 2001 attacks as examples of events financed and organized by the Global Elite. British journalist Simon Jones writes that, according to Icke, "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. 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." Icke refers to this as problem-reaction-solution, a variation of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's "Hegelian Dialectic".

David Icke, Part1

When I first started reading about conspiracy theories, I really liked David Icke's because his came the closest I had found to a "Unified Conspiracy Theory".
He took almost everything into account, and tied everything in together.

David Vaughan Icke (pronounced to rhyme with "like") was born April 29, 1952 and is a British writer and public speaker who has devoted himself since 1990 to researching "who and what is really controlling the world." A former professional football player, reporter, television sports presenter, and former spokesman for the Green Party, he is the author of 20 books explaining his views.

Icke argues that he has developed a moral and political worldview that combines New Age spiritualism with a passionate denunciation of what he sees as totalitarian trends in the modern world, a position that has been described as "New Age conspiracism."

At the heart of Icke's theories is the view that the world is ruled by a secret group called the "Global Elite" or "Illuminati". In 1999, he published The Biggest Secret, in which he wrote that the Illuminati are a race of reptilian humanoids known as the Babylonian Brotherhood, and that many prominent figures are reptilian, including George W. Bush, Queen Elizabeth II, Kris Kristofferson, and Boxcar Willie.

His son, Gareth Icke, is a musician and beach soccer player who has represented England in international beach soccer.

According to Political Research Associates, Icke's speaking engagements can draw a substantial audience in Canada, with his organizers claiming as many as 1000 people attending one in Vancouver. During an October 1999 speaking tour there, he received a standing ovation from students after a four-hour speech at the University of Toronto, while his books were removed from the shelves of Indigo Books across Ontario after protests from the Canadian Jewish Congress.

Icke was born in Leicester to Beric Vaughan Icke (born 1907, Leicester) and Barbara J. Icke (née Cooke) (married 1951, Leicester), and was raised on a council estate, or public housing, according to the biography on his website. He left school to play football for Coventry City ( The Sky Blues) and Hereford United ( The Whites) in the English league, playing as a goalkeeper until forced to retire at the age of 21 because of a swollen knee.

He found a job with a local newspaper in Leicester and became a reporter, moving on to local sports presenter for BBC South's Program South Today. He appeared on the first episode of British television's first national breakfast show BBC Breakfast Time presenting the sports news and featured on the show until 1985. He would also become strong part of BBC Sport's presentation team, often as a stand-in host on Grandstand and snooker programs. He was part of the BBC team at the 1988 Olympic Games, but he left the BBC later that year to become an activist for the Green Party. He rose swiftly to the position of national media spokesperson. In 1990, he wrote It Doesn't Have To Be Like This, an outline of his views on the environment and his political philosophy.

Reptilian Conspiracy Murder Case

I know this is old news, but if you have never heard of the Girly Chew Hossencofft case you should check it out.
Heres an old link at COURTTV:
http://www.courttv.com/trials/henning/background.html

Another at CNN:
http://archives.cnn.com/2002/LAW/09/26/ctv.henning.trial/

" Reptilian humanoid aliens figured prominently in the 2003 murder trial of David Icke fan Linda Henning who was eventually convicted of murdering her boyfriend's ex-wife, Girly Chew Hossencofft. The trial was covered by CourtTV, providing national exposure to the conspiracy theories involving such creatures. Henning allegedly believed or was told by co-conspirator Diazien Hossencofft that Girly's killing would serve as good practice for the upcoming showdown with the reptilians. Familiar themes of a Bush family reptilian connection surfaced in evidence seized in connection with the trial. Both Henning and Hossencofft are serving life sentences"

In 1999, Icke wrote and published The Biggest Secret: The Book that Will Change the World, in which he identified the extraterrestrial Prison Warders as reptilians from the constellation Draco. They walk erect and appear to be human, living not only on the planets they come from, but also in caverns and tunnels under the earth. They have cross-bred with humans, which has created "hybrids" who are "possessed" by the full-blooded reptilians. The reptiles' hybrid reptilian-human DNA allows them to change from reptilian to human form if they consume human blood. Icke has drawn parallels with the 1980s science-fiction series V, in which the earth is taken over by reptiloid aliens disguised as humans.

According to Icke, the reptilian group includes many prominent people and practically every world leader from Britain's late Queen Mother to George H.W. Bush, Hillary 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 since published a number of additional books on the same theme. His latest work sees George W. Bush, also a reptilian, playing a key role in what Icke alleges is a 9/11 conspiracy. In Tales From The Time Loop and other works, Icke states that most organized religions, especially Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are Illuminati creations designed to divide and conquer the human race through endless conflicts. In a similar vein, Icke believes racial and ethnic divisions are an illusion promoted by the reptilians, and that racism fuels the Illuminati agenda.

The Top Ten Conspiracy Theories...Number 10

The Top Ten Conspiracy Theories...Number 10:
Dinosauroid-like Alien Reptiles are dominating the World

David Vaughan Icke (pronounced "IKE" /aɪk/) (born April 29, 1952 in Leicester, England) is a British writer. A former professional football player, reporter, television sports presenter, and spokesman for the Green Party, he has devoted himself since 1990 to researching "who and what is really controlling the world." He is the author of 20 books explaining his views.

Icke argues that he has developed a moral and political worldview that combines New Age spiritualism with a passionate denunciation of what he sees as totalitarian trends in the modern world. His views have been described as "New Age conspiracism."

At the heart of Icke's theories is the view that the world is ruled by a secret group called the "Global Elite" or "Illuminati," which he has linked to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an anti-Semitic hoax. In 1999, he published The Biggest Secret, in which he wrote that the Illuminati are a race of reptilian humanoids known as the Babylonian Brotherhood, and that many prominent figures are reptilian, including George W. Bush, Queen Elizabeth II, Kris Kristofferson, and Boxcar Willie.

According to Political Research Associates, Icke's ideas are popular in Canada, where the New Age aspect of his philosophy overshadows his more controversial beliefs. During an October 1999 speaking tour there, he received a standing ovation from students after a five-hour speech at the University of Toronto, while his books were removed from the shelves of Indigo Books across Ontario after protests from the Canadian Jewish Congress.

David Icke has published 20 books outlining his views, a mixture of both New Age philosophy and apocalyptic conspiracism. American political scientist Michael Barkun, in a 2003 study of conspiracy theory subculture, writes that Icke is "the most fluent of conspiracy authors, which gives his writings a clarity rarely found in the genre." His talent for communicating with people led The Observer to call him "the Greens' Tony Blair."

Icke's core ideas are outlined in four books written over seven years: The Robots' Rebellion (1994), ... And the Truth Shall Set You Free (1995), The Biggest Secret: The Book that Will Change the World (1999), and Children of the Matrix (2001). The basic conspiracy theory is that the world is controlled by a network of secret societies referred to as the "Brotherhood," at the apex of which stand the "Illuminati" or "Global Elite." The goal of the Brotherhood is a world government, a plan that Icke says was laid out in the anti-semitic hoax, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which Icke says are really the revealed plans of the Illuminati. Icke, in common with many other conspiracy theorists, says the methods of these conspirators include control of the world's economies and the use of mind-control techniques.

The Global Elite controls the Brotherhood and the world using what Icke calls a "pyramid of manipulation," consisting of sets of hierarchical structures involving banking, business, the military, education, the media, religion, drug companies, intelligence agencies, and organized crime.

At the very top of the pyramid are what Icke calls the "Prison Warders," who are not human. He writes that: "A pyramidal structure of human beings has been created under the influence and design of the extraterrestrial Prison Warders and their overall master, the Luciferic Consciousness. They control the human clique at the top of the pyramid, which I have dubbed the Global Elite."

Icke cites the Holocaust, Oklahoma City bombing, and the September 11, 2001 attacks as examples of events financed and organized by the Global Elite. British journalist Simon Jones writes that, according to Icke, "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. 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." Icke refers to this as problem-reaction-solution, a variation of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's "Hegelian Dialectic".
