First, let me just say that although I've been spinning around the high strangeness arena for a while, Icke is a character I'm only vaguely familiar with.
Last night I was bored and started flipping aimlessly through Youtube. I came across some pieces from David Icke's 2012 Wembley Show.
As I often do, I started checking out his references to see if the man was at least making some informed speculations or just 'pie in the sky' accusations. Most of the research I did (very quickly mind you) checked out to some extent.
However, I find that he does a TON of speculation on a gram of truth (please chime in if you think I'm wrong).
Does anybody have any input on Icke, pro or against? I'm not looking for bashing or praising. I'm ONLY interested in cold hard data as in: he said "XYZ" and this can be corroborated with the following... or not.
In other words I'm looking for intelligent arguments made from either side. Comments such as "he is nuts" or "he is the greatest thing since sliced bread" don't really help as they don't actually SHOW one way or the other.
Especially interested in those that actually read his books and what your take on them might be.
Thank you!

There's nothing wrong with checking both sides of the coin about a particular person. I find the facts pointing towards that David Icke steals material, and makes ridiculous claims with little to no actual evidence supporting it. Both of these are facts about him, not opinions.

There is no "good" and "bad" those are ideas and when one group's idea of good is not the same as another, they call each other evil and the wars are created.
Reptilians are not evil just because they want control. That's hypocritical because most humans seek control.
Reptilians are not evil for eating humans, humans will happily kill and eat animal and plant life for survival.
It's just nature but most like to split reality into two and call some things "good" and others "evil".

I've seen everything the man has put out there, and to this day can't disprove his information.
This is the only negative thing I've felt about him in the past 5 years....

Just off the cuff and based only on the clip I've seen, I can tell you a small glitch in his reasoning I noticed.
Here it is: He lumped in the Bill Gates (Bill & Melinda foundation) with groups that want to thin the world population through ruthless means if necessary. The problem is that Bill's foundation spent Billions (with a capital B) in fighting AIDS in Africa. If you're trying to reduce world population by any means possible then helping to fight AIDS is the last thing you want to do.
Also, Gates is promoting a pledge by billionaires to leave half their fortune to charities after their death. So far only a few billionaires signed on - Oprah I think and Buffet (I could be wrong).
Of course somebody could come in now and say that the AIDS help is really a smoke screen for implanting mind control chips... or some other such nonsense. But at the end of the day, we're talking about simple logic - if you want to diminish something you don't spend money helping it flourish. And the fact is his $$ helped save countless lives. Many people could have been dead, but thanks to him, they're alive... So either Icke's got it all wrong, or Bill Gates is one heck of an INCOMPETENT Reptilian helping people live instead of die LOL
This was just a small example, but a telling one on where his logic falls short.
It's very hard to dismiss everything he says out of hand because some 'crazy' things he says do check out. You know, the kind of things you say to yourself "Why wasn't this BIG NEWS"... and yet it never makes it to public attention.edit on 20-11-2012 by firefly9000 because: (no reason given)[/quo
Its an interesting one that's for sure. check out on Bristol radio "Michael Shrimpton exposes Ted Heath and others" here is a Barister that seems to know what he is talking about. His wrap on things is that Germany controls the worlds politicians by giving them what they want, but using it to keep them in line. Why was no one sued for these allegations?
