David Icke - Was He Right ?

David Vaughan Icke (pronounced /aɪk/; born April 29, 1952) is an English writer and public speaker who has devoted himself since 1990 to researching what he calls "who and what is really controlling the world." Describing himself as "the most controversial speaker and author in the world," he has written 16 books explaining his views, characterized as New Age conspiracism, and has attracted a substantial following across the political spectrum. His books have been translated into eight languages, he runs a website that receives 600,000 hits a week, and his lecture tours, during which he speaks for up to eight hours at a time, attracted audiences of 30,000 between 2000 and 2006. His 533-page The Biggest Secret has been called the conspiracy theorist's Rosetta Stone.

Icke was a well-known BBC television sports presenter and spokesman for the British Green Party, when, at the age of 38, he had an encounter with a psychic who told him he was a healer who had been placed on Earth for a purpose. In April 1991, he announced on the BBC's Terry Wogan show that he was the son of God—arguing later that he had been misunderstood—and predicted that the world would soon be devastated by tidal waves and earthquakes. The show changed his life, turning him almost overnight from a respected household name into an object of public ridicule.

He nevertheless continued to develop his ideas, and in four books published over seven years—The Robots' Rebellion (1994), And the Truth Shall Set You Free (1995), The Biggest Secret (1999), and Children of the Matrix (2001)—set out 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. At its heart lies the idea that a secret group of reptilian humanoids called the Babylonian Brotherhood created and controls humanity, and that many prominent figures are reptilian, including George W. Bush, Queen Elizabeth II, Kris Kristofferson, and Boxcar Willie.

Icke has been criticized for linking his ideas to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a 1903 Russian forgery purporting to be a plan by the Jewish people to achieve world domination. Icke argues that the Protocols was written by the reptilians. He strongly denies that this idea is antisemitic, but the linkage has nevertheless attracted the attention of the far right and the suspicion of Jewish groups. He was detained by immigration officials when he tried to enter Canada on a speaking tour in 1999, and was allowed to proceed only after persuading them that when he said lizards, he meant lizards, but his books were still removed from the shelves of Indigo Books after protests from the Canadian Jewish Congress. Icke and the Canadian tour became the focus in 2001 of a documentary by British journalist Jon Ronson, David Icke, the Lizards and the Jews.
