Seriously though, I haven't got a problem with a lot of Icke's writings, much of what he says is plausable, and I particularly like his pursuit of LOVE as the most powerful thing in the universe. very masonic. Very christian.

But he metaphorically blows up his own toilet when he's goes off on a tangent with the wild stuff. Because all the masons posting here know he is 'off on one' with regards to his views on masons, it makes us think what else is he wrong about. Pull one card out and the whole house starts to tumble.

Which IS, afterall, his REAL reason for writing them....all sensationalists are that way and they depend upon a certain level of reader to buy their works....else the National Enquirer would have faded away years ago.

Its not like he talks about ACTUAL Freemasons in his books. So you're right, what exactly is he wrong about?
Oh wait, no, he does actually talk about people who were specifically Masons and business deals they have done (government, military, anything that's documented) with friends of theirs who are in some cases, Masons, and in other cases, just Rich.
Being a Mason yourself, I can't imagine the compelling feeling you would have to ignore what he is saying outright at that point, as well as ruling out everything else he has to say, based on what is CRAZIEST at first glance.
Which, for the record, is non-human intelligence. This scares people sh*tless, and so they mock it.
Hmmm, how would Human Mythology describe a Non-Human Intelligence that could operate through a susceptible human being?

Actually a house of cards can still stand up if 1 card is missing - if its built right. Next, Icke's "house" is built with stainless steel cuz of the fact the majority of the other stuff he writes about has been, and can be, 100% proven. He lists all his sources at the end of every chapter.
BTW, his books are free to read. So this crushes this point of yours.

OK, trinity man, now make fun of the following two factual topics that David Icke covers:
1) Human sacrifice in history.
2) Missing children (that aren't found).
Tell me you know all about those two subjects, and that it doesn't matter, and that he's making everything up.
Ask yourself if he really does research you don't even want to think about, for money, for material gain. Stuff people DON'T want to read, contrary to Sebatwerks totally UNINFORMED opinion.
THAT would be writing just to make money, so show me the line of books, and the author that has tapped this mass potential. It would be a great way to make an easy audience, supply some facts and inside info, and wrap it up with a nice happy ending (far different to the blunt truth Icke documents).

For those wish to engage in discussion when spoken to, or when they have a well-founded original opinion (other than: Everyone in the world is out to make a buck, thats the only conspiracy) please continue to use this thread. Sorry for this interruption.

Au contraire. If I'm reading a book espousing an individual's own theory about something, and that theory is based on a number of assumptions, then I have to take a view as to how plausable those assumption are. If one of them in a field about which I know a great deal is total tosh it makes me wonder how genuine some of the others are in fields that I know less.

Uh mmnmmnm [grunt] let me just push this brilliantly logical argument of yours off my squished point. Ahhh poor point.
Yeah library books are free to read too - but they were bought first. Bookshops let you read books for free (wait for it)... in the hope that you'll buy them . Websites offer free downloads in the hope that you'll buy a book, and of course all other books by the same author. Tell me you never bought an Icke book. Tell me no-one else did. Of course he's in it for the money. He's also a complete fruit and nut case.

Everything. If you want a super looooong looooong list of proof and sources, it's all listed at the end of every chapter in "The Biggest Secret" and "And the Truth Shall Set You Free".
There's even a statue of a guy in Washington, DC. What's his claim to fame? Being the greatest Freemason in America, and one of the greatest in the world. That guy wrote a book on how Freemasons are a secret society. If you're really, really, intrested in what's soo secret, get a pen and pad, go to any local bookstore, and read those 2 books of Icke's I mentioned just now. Write down all the sources he lists about the Freemasons. Then go look up the books (located in the boostore, or any major library.) And... it's all freeeee for you to do!
1. What field of it, is it, that you say you know a great deal about - that you've found Icke lacking?
3. The name of this thread is "Who's David Icke?". David Icke isn't a guy who writes only about a theory about reptilians existing. He is a guy who writes about numerous subjects. One of the many, many, subjects he writes about is his theory that reptilians exist. He hasn't been able to 100% prove it. It also can't be 100% disproven. Icke's other subjects he writes about can all be 100% proven. And have been 100% proven.
3b. I've posted which of Ickes books I've read. Then I asked everyone else posting about Icke, which of his books they've read. Anyone who hasn't read any of his books cannot comment on him.
You whine and complain...

Stop referring me to third parties - it shows a lack of respect to other people trying to follow this discussion. If you can't make your point yourself then don't bother. Do you have an opinion of your own or do you just regurgitate David Icke? You tell me why you think freemasons are secret.
Secretly in the yellow pages, secretly have websites, secretly explain to all and sundry their aims and goals, secretly come on to ATS to deny the appalling ignorance people like you have about us.

Freemasonry. Icke, like you, knows very little about it. And he makes wild speculations about it based on that little knowledge. Just like you.
Originally posted by Trinityman
The untruths he has written about freemasonry cannot be proven, obviously, because they're lies. Which makes the above point incorrect.

Oh, you mean like your comment about Freemasonry when you've done no independent research WHATSOEVER.
Originally posted by Trinityman

No I don't. I'm trying to have a rational discussion with you. I am telling you that freemasonry is not a hot bed of conspiracy, and we are not shape-shifting draconian lizards.
I'm not interested in your David Icke propaganda - I'm trying to get to the truth.
So lets try this again. Tell me why you believe freemasonry is secret. Because all the evidence points against it.

A. I know many, many, current members of the Freemasons. From the highest (officially known) rank, all the way down to the lowest ranks. And they tell me the things, incidents, happenings, and events, history, intent, and plans. For people who enter the middle door, left door, and the people who enter the right side door. And even for the people who exit out the back door to enter secret societies far higher level than the Freemasons.
B. I have some "royal" blood in me, and have been privy to Freemasonry, and it's secrets and "secrets". For example how I can speed on a highway doing more than 100mph, get pulled over, have out of date insurance, registration, and the police give me back my paperwork and then drive off leaving me alone. Because they know even though I'm not an official member, my friends, family, and family friends, are members, and high ranking members. They enter Freemason temples through the right-side door. I latter decided it wasn't for me, and never officially joined. For all the secret and "secret" benifits, especially at the highest ranks, one has to litterally "sell their soul and body" aka they own you forever.
Seriously though, I haven't got a problem with a lot of Icke's writings, much of what he says is plausable...
Your last sentance says it all about you and your mindset. You claim you're a Freemason. Good for you if it's true.
Here's my point in blatant words:
1. Yeah I not only believe the Freemasons are a secret society, I know it. I've arrived at this conclusion from 3 main ways all of which involved me doing my own personal investigations.
A. I know many, many, current members of the Freemasons. From the highest (officially known) rank, all the way down to the lowest ranks. And they tell me the things, incidents, happenings, and events, history, intent, and plans. For people who enter the middle door, left door, and the people who enter the right side door. And even for the people who exit out the back door to enter secret societies far higher level than the Freemasons.
B. I have some "royal" blood in me ... [snip nonsense] ... they own you forever.
C. The tons of research done by others etc etc blah blah
Now, you can go on and on saying all I post is not true. And I can go on and on saying how it's all true. Guess what? It's up to the other lurkers, and posters to then do their own personal research to see how much I say is true or not true. So you go on keep posting that all I say is false. Even after I list "third party" sources that have even more sources listed, which can all then be looked up, and researched by everyone else here.
Icke views Freemasonry as a low to mid level secret society. There's many other secret societies that make the Freemasons look like little 4yr old kids. They have far, far, more power, history, connections, than the highest ranking Freemason. Many of them own, and either directly, or indirectly run, the Freemasons.

You have quite an imagination, my friend.
