Lu, Icke’s preoccupation with reptilians is dominant in plenty of his books that I’ve skimmed through at my favorite local bookshop. You can also watch his “Arizona Wilder” documentary here if you really want:

Or, you could simply google “david icke reptile” for plenty of hits from *his own site*.
Finally, the use of standard grammar is not a conspiracy.

Hi,
So which of David Ickes books have you actually read then out of interest?? I mean actually read so that you could reach your OWN opinion rather than the many who just listening to what the media have to say (they always seem to ridicule people are near accurate) or what other people may have interpreted or misinterpreted. Do you consider yourself an open minded person? I’ve read 2 books and watched freedom or fascism (Which I can highly recommend, all rational and logical information with times dates and facts presented in a concise fashion with overwhelming and compelling evidence… but that’s just my opinion) in either the books or the dvd have I ever heard him mention anything about the European monarch being reptiles!!!?????

Oh, conspiracy theories. (*sigh*)

I recall an afternoon in Malibu with friends a year ago where we visited the bookshop at the Inn of the Seventh Ray. Among the stacks of “legit” tomes from Shambhala and other new age-ish publishers were several books by David Icke — reptilian overlords of the 4th dimension, Children of the Matrix, etc etc. I remarked to my friends that Icke “gives transformational spirituality a bad name.”

Richard G who was part of the group immediately launched into a Bon Jovi-fied version of my statement. Sure, we laughed, but I still stand by that claim: Icke’s a delusional, con-artist wack job with a flair for the historic and histrionic. He pollutes the stream. I’m not a conspiracy theorist per se, but I did read Unger’s “House of Bush, House of Saud” which asked a lot of good questions. It’s frustrating to see Icke stuff shelved with Unger and the Disinformation series, considering that people who (rightly) dismiss Icke will (wrongly) dismiss these other books in close proximity. But hey, I guess that’s just business. I wonder what percentage of Icke’s readership sees him as freakshow entertainment vs prophet?

Also: did Rough Guide send you a galley of this book? If yeah, congrats on the freebie. I hear the Amazon top 100 reviewers get their books for free, too.

Also Also: George Clooney is adapting conspiracy bible The Men Who Stare At Goats for film. When will the madness end?
