David Icke speech on life

[Lanky Wanker]

This guy has a whole conspiracy theory about reptile-like aliens controlling the government and everything (...it would make perfect sense) so he is a bit crazy, but this speech is amazing.

...Care to enlighten me?

could only watch 2mins. The meds seem to be working....this is the best I have seen the poor soul. I wasn't aware of his anti-semitism. Heavens knows what brought that on, I wasn't planning on watching him again, anyhow. Let's hope his needle doesn't get caught in an anti Jewish groove. That would be deeply unpleasant. He needs to feed off the oxygen of publicity any controversy feeds that, real shame.

Where did I miss his anti-semitism? I only just found out about the guy through his alien stories, I had no idea he was (supposedly) anti-semetic.

he quotes 'the protocols of the elders of zion' as an important document - although i believe he claims to "strip" it of it's anti-jewishness or some bollocks like that

he's certainly guilty of structural anti-semitism:

i just watched the video...
look i'm old enough to remember the poor geaser exposing himself on telly as a nutter first time around... what... years ago...
so i was about to dismiss the video.. with barely a look...
but for some reason...i gave it a go...
and watched the whole thing...
there is no anti-semitism here.... and there is a shit-load of fucking total sense.

sorry david... i did not realize any of your ranting actually contained truth, merit or political comment!
they do and, for my part, i am impressed.... definitely worth attention...
i agree 100% with most of this...
well well well....that is a turn up for the books

[Deicide]

And then he concludes the Lizard men from the 4th dimension living in the hollow moon caused all this (he doesn't in this video, but that's his position, read his book ''the biggest secret'', although it's utter unscholarly garbage, all his sources are from other conspiracy theorists). David Icke actually avoids mentioning the Lizard men in most cases. But that's the fundamental idea which ties together his ''theories''.

This is the problem with conspiracy theorists (some of them are sincere, at least that's my impression). They're like the awkward dad who tries to help, but only makes things worse. Some conspiracy theorists raise real questions or start with real premises (to grip the audience perhaps?), but the sanity ends there, their conclusion 9 out of 10 times is complete non-sequitur nonsense.

[MotherCossack]

well that is ridiculous!
so the man scores a major, accurate hit and appears to have insight... well as far as diagnosing the ills of the world goes, anyhow.
then he proceeds to negate the worth of all that he has said by introducing outlandish fantasy about reptillean aliens living among us, nay, ruling over us!!
what a waste.... he gets all that attention.... then does that with it....
i would be tempted to suggest that there is room a plenty for a conspiracy theory in here .... someone has planted the icke monster, with the intention of equating serious critical thinking with sheer nutcasery!!!!!!!

david icke is scum, he is a proven anti-semite that approvingly quotes the protocols of the elders of zion. he is evil, if anyone here thinks he's left wing they are simply mad. he has quoted the protocols on many occasions and language such as the "illunminati" etc are simply code words for jews tbh

[electro_fan]

Marxism has nothing to do with conspiracy theories, which imply that capitalism could be better if the people running them will change, it is also based on empirical evidence whereas conspiracy theories are mainly a load of mystical hippy bollocks influenced by fascism and anti working class shit

The Illuminati was a real organization. Despite now being used by conspiracy theorists in their ''theories''.

[electro_fan]

It's a real organisation but it doesn't exist any more, and even if it did, had no real influence on anything. the real decisions are made in corporate board rooms. conspiracy theories are reactionary and counter revolutionary, they invent all this mystical shit and never mention capitalism.

and although the anti-semitism is now thinly veiled, it's there if you look for it. it's pretty disgusting frankly and there's no surprise that conspiracy theorists often speak about, among other things, the "gay agenda" etc being a result of a conspiracy, or the idea of trade unions and communism being a result of a conspiracy. the fact is that most of them are promoted and bred by the far right

[electro_fan]

David icke also has a massive house on the isle of wight with about 20 bedrooms, he's made millions purveying this bollocks. He sometimes says something vague about how we're all being controlled etc, but even that is all anti working class because he thinks the working class are just "sheeple" and need him to wake them up

[ed miliband]

tbh icke's anti-semitism mirrors the anti-semitism of much of the left - everything bad can be reduced to the actions of a few evil bankers who rule they world

we all know where this myth originated and what it can (and has) led to
