As you may know, I spend a not inconsiderable amount of time browsing the forum of turquoise track-suited messiah David Icke.

It is a fascinating site in many ways, and can change your outlook on things if you are open minded, and not put off by all the shapeshifting reptillian royalty and chemtrail paranoia etc.

But as with any forum, it seems the trolls are always lurking beneath the surface...



So this guy has found a woman who is "awake" (i.e. understands the global conspiracy etc) but he won't have sex with her because he thinks she's fat!

Trolling. Its like some kind of universal constant or something.

I saw a woman reading a book by David Icke on the subway the other day.  Overweight black woman in her 30s.  I thought it notable, as it was the first time I'd seen/heard any Icke reference apart from you.

Just thought I'd share.

Icke is worth a read... by dmg (2.00 / 0) #2 Thu Jan 31, 2008 at 08:20:53 PM EST
Some of his stuff is mind-boggling.

It almost doesn't matter whether its actually true or not, its that entertaining.

The stuff on his site about symbolism is very interesting.

You appear to be dismissive of Icke's discoveries. by chuckles (4.00 / 1) #3 Thu Jan 31, 2008 at 08:31:51 PM EST

But how do you respond to irrefutable proof?

I just *LOVE* the illuminati and freemason by miker2 (2.00 / 0) #5 Thu Jan 31, 2008 at 09:36:40 PM EST
references.  Wow.

My father just became a mason, and from what he describes it just a fraternity without the college, hard drug use, and drinking games.

I'm willing to bet their 'secret ritual' is very similar to my college fraternity's 'secret ritual'.

There are about 17,563 different Masonic orders. Most are good works societies. A handful are good work societies spearheaded by conspiracy theorists. You do the math.

There is no more degenerate kind of state than that in which the richest are supposed to be the best.

Conflating fantasies and real conspiracies . . . by slozo (4.00 / 1) #7 Fri Feb 01, 2008 at 08:55:28 AM EST
. . . is the new trolling.

It works quite well, as there only needs to be one or two ridiculous or unbelievable premises to discount everything else. In this way, we laugh at "the nutters", and continue along our merry lives secure and safe in the knowledge that only crazy people believe in conspiracies. After all, we are safe from the terrorists; the rich have always been in control, so what can you do? And most importantly, there is never some "grand conspiracy" of powerful elites to subdjugate, exploit and use, after all - we in the west (and Oz and Kiwis) are enjoying the most freedom we ever have! Hooray prosperity!

There are a few words that have such a negative context in today's world, that they instantly predispose one to utterly disregard another's opinion. Conspiracy is one of those words.

All hail our lizard overlords, etc etc.



Although some folks are trying to redefine by Phil Urich (4.00 / 1) #8 Fri Feb 01, 2008 at 07:09:30 PM EST
the word, or at least muddy the waters; whasshisname, the guy from Law and Order that's often on Bill Maher's show...right, Richard Belzer!  When they have the little subtitle tag on the screen saying peoples' names and occupations/identities his often says "Conspiracy Theorist", and he proudly self-identifies as such. 

His last appearance he mentioned his belief that O.J. was both framed and guilty, which I thought was pretty insightful and almost certainly true.

Its very interesting by dmg (4.00 / 1) #9 Sat Feb 02, 2008 at 09:21:29 AM EST
Conspiracy is one of those words

For those people who are 'awake' to the way  power is exercised in our nominally 'democratic' societies, this kind of media 'flak' is exactly the sort of indication that something is worth looking at more closely.

I think the Shapeshifting Lizard royalty stuff in Icke's works may be put in there deliberately in order to trigger this kind of media outrage, without which there would be some very serious questions requiring answers. As it stands, the powers that be can get away with "Icke's a nutter" without addressing the other issue he raises.

It also entices people to read it, who otherwise would find such heavy duty political stuff rather dry and boring.

It really does leave me bewildered sometimes. I mean, you take a read of something like this, and you are put in a somewhat interesting position. You are kind of forced to confront exactly what it is we might be dealing with in terms of the manipulative nature of the powers that attempt to rule us.
You can then either dismiss Icke as a nutter and go back to sleep, but if think it through a bit, you may well decide that maybe there is more to things than meets the eye.

I would like to be able to dismiss Icke as a nutter. It would be a much more palatable world to live in where ones own Government is not trying to kill one, but alas, I suspect Icke is not as insane as we might hope.

As an aside, I try to avoid Icke . . . by slozo (4.00 / 1) #11 Mon Feb 04, 2008 at 09:15:53 AM EST
. . . and prefer to look at well documented and knowledgable research from people like Gage, Jones, etc for these matters. Although they have offered it up for peer review to mainstream sources, it seems that the new strategy is ignoring it.

I have seen no good evidence for me to see relevence in theories about shape-shifting lizards and the such. However, the symbols and symbolism of the controlling elite is there. The evidence for massive collusion in many arenas is there. The clear and compelling evidence for refutation of the official 911 story, Oaklahoma bombing, JFK and MLK assassinations and many more is there. They are all worth looking at, in my opinion, especially since key gov't officials clearly don't want us to, and provide obfuscation and smearing in defence of the official story.

But even on husi, all we get are the ickes of the world . . . so these horrible accusation against our big brother are easy to dismiss for a person not prepared to question so deeply.

Icke is very interesting by dmg (2.00 / 0) #12 Mon Feb 04, 2008 at 05:04:28 PM EST
He presents information and leaves it up to you to make of it what you will.

I think there's an important point being made there.
He's kind of saying "I'm saying something ridiculous (lizards) and you don't believe it. But what about the ridiculous stuff the government is telling you about e.g. 9/11 - is that not equally ridiculous? (fire-proof passports etc)"

To be a very interesting read on the subject of the nature of reptilian entities.
