http://www.davidicke.com/headlines/56654--daily-mail-in-shambolic-a-shameful-hit-piece-against-david-icke-and-get-used-to-it-this-is-just-the-start

Essentially former goalkeeper David Icke says the Daily Mail and The Sun are bad newspapers. Beyond that this is a shameless attempt to start a conversation about lizard overlords and such.

No need to read the link, just post your thoughts.

David Icke is my favorite person in the world.

My favorite hobby is reading about the Lizard people and the various conspiracies that they have enacted. You don't know the hours of joy the man has brought me.

Did you read the stuff he was linking to/claiming about Jimmy Saville ?




My jaw genuinely dropped open. http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=36860

Are you on the right thread reds8n?

What is the connection between Jimmy Saville and David Icke or what he is saying?

Also allegations as big as the story in 'truthseeker' need to be double sourced, that article acuses practically everyone of being a pedo or closet gay. Is David Ickes absence from the article expected to be taken as suspicious?

Mr.Icke, as part of his crusade to enlighten us to the truth of our existence, was pushing these rumours for a good while, linking to the article I linked above

I used to think that Icke was just a crank who'd found his little niche and was milking it for all he could.
..now... well... I dunno if it's that he's started to believe what's saying too much or if he is just too far gone to be able to tell fact from fiction anymore.

For reference, these are the articles he's "warning" about in the first post

Americans are his biggest fans — it might explain the transatlantic accent Icke now seems to have — and it’s not hard to see why.
They have always been especially susceptible to conspiracy theories, which now constitute a multi-million dollar industry of radio shows and websites in the U.S.

oh those ker-azy foreign folks ! What will they do next !

Reavid Icke Gets Something Right

Indeed! The Sun and Daily Mail are decent newspapers, but he's spot on about the lizards.

David Icke deserves some credit for going out there and peddling his stuff, I am not sure if he believes it himself. I hope he does, its far more palatable than the alternative.

Icke is reiterating what he read from this T Stokes person, its no different than any copy paste post here in that regards. I would want more proof before accepting very slanderous remarks as valid, Stokes doesnt appear to and so neither does Icke. However Ickes sentiments are not invalid and if the accusations are a lie the lie is not his own.

Personally I respect his crusade against the lizard overlords, what was he? A washed up footballer, sportsmen are old men by their thirties unless they are in a niche sport or have some other talent. I dont think Icke is a talented man, beyond the ability to stop goals, but he is persistent and has charisma and for all that is fairly harmless.

Some people protest him and his claims, I am happy to leave him alone, and if he wants to 'educate' the people into taking the lizard threat seriously, then fair play to him.

It's fast becoming a hobby of mine. I'm tempted to sign up to his forum, it's like catnip for nutters.

That article is shocking. Interesting that all the celebrities he named are dead, and therefore can't sue for deformation of character. I'd have to be a crazy conspiracy theorist to believe that was anything more than a coincidence.

I think at some point he suffered some sort of mental breakdown and now he's in too deep to admit that it's all bollocks. Kudos for him not paying his poll tax though.

He turns out right about most things he says to be honest.

Bump

So a broken clock is right twice a day

**edit**
Guess I should have read the dates on the posts

Holy threadomancy Batman!



That's some impressive resurrection.

David Icke may well have been right about Savile, but then again the rumors about Savile had been floating around for years. Several Newspapers had attempted to expose him whilst he was still alive but Savile cracked down on them with his legal team before they could publish anything. It was only once he was dead and liable laws no longer applied that the real story could come out. Icke also peddled similar rumors about Ted Heath and Lord Mountbatten, both of which have been thoroughly discredited despite both being dead for years.

It’s a logical fallacy to conclude that because he picked up on the Savile story early on that he therefore must be right about other matters. This is the same trick that psychics use, they focus on the few occasions where they get something right and hope that people ignore the fact that 9 times out of 10 they are talking nonsense.

I’ve no idea if he really believes the things he claims, but he clearly is able to make a career out of claiming them and it’s not like he’s good at much else. I’m inclined to think he is simply a showman making money out of peoples lust for a juicy conspiracy theory. A bit like Alex Jones in the states, though not quite as shouty.

Necro.
