“”Meet David Icke. He is a fucking loon.

—Cracked

David Icke is a human singularity of insanity best known for his UFO and conspiracy theory advocacy. He came to fame as an English footballer and sports commentator and used to be a spokesman for the Green Party of England and Wales, but since 1991 has devoted his life to informing the world that it's actually secretly controlled by evil shape-shifting lizard-people from the 4th dimension. Genuinely.

He further proposes that the Moon is an artificial construct — "probably a hollowed-out planetoid" — from which the reptilians broadcast an "artificial sense of self and the world" that humans mistakenly perceive as reality.

As of August 2012, VICE estimates his worldwide book sales to more than 20 million books sold, and claims his website (that also hosts his official forums) recieves over 4 million hits per month.

Jews Lizards

“”In the very late 1800s, a controversial document came to light called the Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion. I call them the Illuminati Protocols and I quote many extracts from them in The Robots' Rebellion.

—David Icke, And the Truth Shall Set You Free

Icke is a proponent of a super-duper grand unified conspiracy theory that mixes together just about every conspiracy theory you can think of; this he calls the "Babylonian Brotherhood." All members of the media, the scientific community, the banking system, and the religions and militaries of the world's nations are mere foot-soldiers of the conspiracy. These stooges are in turn controlled by the usual suspects: the United Nations, the Bilderberg Group, the Illuminati, the Freemasons, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Rothschild family, the World Bank, etc. All of these groups are merely the puppets of "the global elite," which are controlled by "the prison wardens."

I, for one, welcome our new reptilian overlords. (Jane Badler as Diana from V.)

With the release of his book The Biggest Secret in 1999, Icke added the final layer on top of the pyramid of conspiracy: Interdimensional shape-shifting lizard-people from a rift in the space-time continuum near the constellation Draco, often referred to as "reptilians" or "reptoids." Partially ripping off Zecharia Sitchin, he claims these aliens are the Anunnaki and that they have interbred with humans throughout history. Much of the "evidence" of reptoids Icke's worshipers put forth are pictures of world leaders with enlarged pupils or red eye — the everyday kind of red eye in which retinas illuminated by camera flashes. This supposedly signifies that they have momentarily lapsed in their shape-shifting.

Some people have taken offense to this, claiming that "shape-shifting lizard-people" is a code word for "Jews." Icke claims that he is not anti-Semitic and that when he says "shape-shifting lizard-people," he really quite literally means lizards. Although he hangs around with some rather fringe right-wing nutcases, he balances it all out by being just as insane a believer in New Age mumbo-jumbo. He does believe the Protocols of the Elders of Zion were true, albeit supposedly not about Jews but (ironically given the accusation of anti-Semitism) a code word for lizard people. He also has been flirting with Holocaust denial, but in Icke's case it's less likely a sign of anti-Semitism than yet another manifestation of all-round insanity.

Reasonable speculation about the source of his space-lizard theory may be the 1970's British progressive rock album Lizard by King Crimson which features metaphorical references to lizards as politico-religious enemies of a "Prince Rupert" in the song "Lizard." Ironically, King Crimson's "lizards" seem to honor the Sabbath, promise Eden, and have a "sacred tablet." The song also references British writer William Blake's figure "Urizen," Blake's parody and criticism of the God of the Old Testament which he viewed as simultaneously extremely tyrannical and misguidedly benevolent. Another source may have been the 1980's TV series V, which featured shape-shifting lizard aliens who took over Earth from within society.

At this point, it shouldn't be surprising that Icke hawks alt-med and every crank medical idea under the sun through his website and book store: Homeopathy, vitamin woo, vaccine denial, AIDS denial, water fluoridation, Big Pharma conspiracies, etc. The man has Jupiter-scale crank magnetism, okay?

Descent into New Age woo

During the late 1980s while he was still with the Green Party, Icke began to look to alternative medicine for a cure for the arthritis that had ended his football career. This also brought him in contact with the local members of the New Age movement. In 1989, he experienced neurological symptoms (impression of a presence, momentary paralysis of lower extremities, auditory hallucination, facial sensations) that he interpreted as spirits trying to contact him. In 1990, he met a psychic he called his "soul mate" who began to introduce him to hardcore New Age woo. He went off the deep end shortly thereafter. He left the party in 1990 and was formally banned from it in 1994, with the Greens calling his views "fascist".

Permanently upping the batshit ante

“”They're (the audience) laughing at you, they aren't laughing with you.

—Terry Wogan to Icke.

In 1991, on Terry Wogan's TV chat show, in the middle of talking about football (the subject he was a guest on the show to talk about), Icke announced that he was "the son of God" and that Britain would be devastated by tidal waves and earthquakes (the UK isn't seismically active). He also began wearing all turquoise all the time which furthered claims he was either disturbed or perhaps a reptilian himself. He was even passed over for Celebrity Big Brother in 2006 for being too weird.

In 2008, he ran for election to Parliament as an independent candidate in the Haltemprice and Howden by-election. He got only 110 votes, and lost his deposit. If the lizard people (who live between Selby and Hull) had let him win, he would not have actually entered Parliament as he vowed not to actually take the oath to the Queen required (as he believes Her Majesty and the rest of the Royal Family to be lizard people as well). Because the irony does not stop with this fellow, Prince Charles agrees with Icke on the alternative medicine stuff.

Icke was the only non-American interviewee on the life-saving DVD The Fall of America and the Western World.

Icke considers himself the most controversial writer in the world. Non-British people who don't pay much attention to the weirder sections of the bookstore consider him "who?" – which puts him in somewhat the same category Ward Churchill occupies among liberals.

In 2012, he announced that the opening ceremony of the London 2012 games was a Satanic ritual designed to harness negative energy, and that "The Olympic Stadium is strategically placed on the earth-energy grid to tap into the immense London and British power centres and this is why Glastonbury Tor, one of the most significant earth-vortex points in the UK, is a centrepiece of the opening ceremony."

If all of the above wasn't crazy enough for you, Icke seems to have taken The Matrix literally (well, minus the parts with Keanu Reeves and robot overlords). He believes that much of reality is a holographic projection or sensory illusion being beamed down by our alien overlords from the moon, which is actually a space-station with a hollow interior. No, really... no, really.

Turquoise period

“”We/I am a son/daughter of God. In fact, we are all expressions/projections of the Infinite Conciousness, which is love, that is what I mean when I say "I am a son of god "GOD"!"

—David Icke

Comeuppance, of a sort

In January 2015 Icke paid $90,000CAN in settlement of a lawsuit by Richard Warman, a Canadian human rights lawyer. Icke had defamed Warman in his 2001 book Children of the Matrix by making allegations of Satanic child abuse and murder. This was in addition to an out of court settlement of $120,000CAN Warman had already received from three Canadian book stores who continued to sell the book after being named as co-respondants in the case.

In a public statement in March 2015 Warman said "This settlement exposes Icke’s argument that no one had ever sued him because his allegations were true as nothing more than a fallacy."

In response to this monumental legal victory expensive defeat Icke posted a video response on his website explaining the background to the case which, unsurprisingly (and probably wisely), doesn't even mention it. Instead, and with a breathtaking display of chutzpah lack of awareness, he invokes the memory of the late Carl Sagan. The idea that Dr. Sagan would have given him the time of day - never mind lent support to any of his nonsense - is a concept too ridiculous to be worthy of further comment.

List of people thought by Icke to be reptilian overlords

Hail to the chief!

“”The following list has been compiled from the wealth of research I have put together over the last ten years. I would suggest that all of these are reptilian bloodline, but I only mention shapeshifting where it has been witnessed. It is only an initial list and will be added to. If you can add names, and give the supporting evidence, that would be most helpful in exposing these horrors. By "Satanists", of course, I mean those involved in human sacrifice.

—David Icke

As RationalWikians, we have a certain flair for compiling lists of various kinds. In this case however, little needs to be done with the following list (as left in its original state), written by Icke himself, titled LIST OF FAMOUS SATANISTS, PAEDOPHILES, AND MIND CONTROLLERS (yes, in allcaps). Since about mid-2000, the list is no longer located on his website (atleast not under the same URL or title), so while it may not reflect his current views, there's been no public recantation from Icke regarding his views on jew lizard scheming. Everything in the below box, notes included, reflect his own vision. Without further ado;

• William F. Buckley Jr: Head of the elite JANUS mind control operation based at NATO headquarters in Belgium which trains mind-controlled psychic assassins; child killer, Satanist, shapeshifter

• George Bush: US President and Vice President, head of the CIA, and a stream of other leading roles in the Illuminati. Satanist, mind controller, torturer of children and adults, paedophile, shapeshifting reptilian, and major drug runner. Serial killer. Nice man.

The "Rat Pack", including Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Junior, and Dean Martin were all heavily involved with Hope and others in the same line of work.

• Billy Graham, "Christian" hero who has been funded from the start by the top Illuminati families and operatives like the Rockefellers and newspaper tycoon, William Randolf Heast. Satanist, involved in mind control projects, close friend of Bush and Kissinger. Bloodline of the Satanic Illuminati Frank family which created the Satanic movement known as Frankism.

• Mohammed Al Fayed, father of Dodi Fayed, who died in the car with Princess Diana. Satanist.

Basically, anyone who has ever come close to political power and/or played country music. Aside from these targets (a creative mix of obvious crank sitting ducks and utterly random picks), Icke has since listed other people as scaly space-paedophiles with a similarly random shotgun approach;

• The Merovingians, a medieval French dynasty.
• Jeb Bush.
• Dalton McGuinty, former premier of Ontario.
• Willie Nelson.
• The Nagas (ancient gods of the Indus valley).

If any of these individuals are seen sacrificing children or drinking blood, they should be reported to the zoo constabulary post-haste. Unless if they're Canadian, as that might land Icke in hot legal water

Official YouTube Channel

In the fight against the reptilian overlords, the fullest utilization of communications technology is of the utmost importance if the awoken are to stand a chance against the gathering darkness. Broadly sharing footpath with fellow lunatic Alex Jones, Icke isn't far behind in communicating to the masses about various fringe topics, old and new alike. Though the former focuses on his bunker radio show, producing tense mockumentaries and bullhorning federal buildings, the latter decided to instead focus his efforts on writing books, leaving his YouTube media empire wanting in comparison to InfoWars. And nothing of value was lost.

Founded on April 16, 2006, his official (a word he uses to the point of tedium) YouTube channel was created, the contents of which is explicitly and literally "endorsed by David Icke himself". Considering the relatively vast amount of David Icke videos that litter YouTube yet do not originate from his official account, Icke made an official account that is the only officially authorised David Icke channel. It's official, people!

Not counting other channels displaying Icke related content (seeing as how they're not official and all that), his official channel can boast - quite remarkably - just under 130,000 subscribers who have gracefully provided his channel with just over 8,000,000 views (as of mid-2015).

Just like on his forums (detailed below), his YouTube channel sorts its fringe content by a vast number of flimsy categories and topics, ranging from "Rothschild Zionist Extremists" to "Satanism and Pedophilia Crimes of The Global Elite" to David personally providing fairly cosy and light-hearted guided tours of his apartment in the Isle of Wight. ...Ookay?

“”If me flat was any smaller, it'd be home fer rabbits.

—David Icke, 2012

David Icke, trying desperately to get his message through the jamming transmitters of the giant lizards.

This particular episode of The David Icke Show is set in his home town of Ryde and the flat he claims to have lived in since the early 2000's (thus from around the time he published Children of the Matrix) on the south coast of the Isle of Wight. The following statements are provided by Icke apart from the contents of his tour;

• Icke claims that circulating rumors are accusing him of making millions of pounds a year, of living in a mansion and of driving a Bentley. He refers to these unfounded conspiracy theories as "just insane" and "ridiculous".
• Icke defines what "working" entails for him, calling it "...a constant thing, a constant unraveling story of research and information and communication all the time". We call it "attempted creative writing with a generous pinch of delusion".
• Icke claims to literally not understand why the BBC "got rid of him", even after he'd gone on the Wogan show dressed in a turquoise jumpsuit proclaiming he was the "Son of the Godhead". As late as 2012, and of as sober a mind as anyone could ever expect from the man. Despite hosting an entire 9-part series (starring himself) on his channel - in which he refers to himself as "The Dot Connector" - these particular dots probably won't get connected any time soon.
• Icke claims he used to travel with a woman named "Yaeyva", describing her as being "like a native american grandmother", whatever that means.

Inspiring his movement

Noteworthy topics covered in the videos he uploads to his official channel (and explicitly endorses) include;

• Interviews with other cranks, including Alex Jones, Credo Mutwa, Luke Rudkowski, Jordan Maxwell, Tullio Simoncini, Steve Pieczenik, Clif High and Michael Shrimpton.
• Assorted videos relating to the Occupy Wall Street movement, including "essential information" about its relation to a "one party state".
• Several videos featuring his turquoise phase, and oddly named by himself as "David Icke Still Crazy After All These Years".
• He claims to be "freaking out the planet". We don't know exactly what that means, but we wish he'd knock it off.
• Conspiracy-themed music videos from various artists, including his son Gareth Icke and crackpot AIDS denialist/homophobe rapper Vinnie Paz.
• Exposure of the 1988 scifi classic They Live in the context of, well, the above and the below. Whether this should be seen as a positive sign of healthy self-irony, or a negative sign of truly rampant insanity is not clear.

Official Forums

“”The Illuminati in reality is EVERYWHERE. In your children's local school, in the local hospital. Perhaps your family doctor is part of the Illuminati. Perhaps so too is your boss, your postman, and even your own dad. The Illuminati are an invisible psychically connected hive-mind network which transcends time and space. They are in constant communication with each other and other entities which maybe they believe are aliens, or angels, demons, or even deceased relatives. They are fully psychic and can easily read your thoughts.

—Truthspoon, "Senior Member", David Icke forums

The tale of David Icke, however, doesn't end with him. Being a prolific writer that's done his best to spawn a movement, he's had some relative success, and the David Icke official website naturally hosts a forum worthy of any relatively well-known crank, providing an unparallelled view into the beliefs and convictions of his followers, modeled (to a varying degree) closely on Ickes published works, interviews and newsletters. It is arguably the world's single largest online congregation of psychiatry patients - however, they seemingly gather with good intentions, as they've only organised to combat and defeat the ongoing reptilian invasion. So the joke's on you, sheeple. Unless if you by reptilian mean jew

The site boasts a little over 102,000 members, having collectively made over 268,000 threads with over 5,350,000 posts in them (as of mid-2015). As with any fringe vbulletin forum (as huge as this one may be), there's no telling how many of these official stats consist of dummy accounts, how many are unmoderated bots, how many are active, how many of the posts consist of spam, etc. Enough material to warrant holding more than one world congress of psychology on this movement alone, at any rate. The site is ranked (by Alexa, as of the 20th of July 2015) at number 21,373 globally and at number 1456 in the United Kingdom. Activity on the forums appears to have peaked in late 2012 with 30,561 concurrent users. As of mid-2015, the forums appear to be visited - on any given day - by registered members numbering in the low hundreds, the bulk of visitors being made up of - amazingly - a few thousand unregistered lurkers.

Aside from the typical forum sections, e.g. recent news, general discussions, and a now-closed humor section labeled "Conspiratainment" (where things most likely got way too real way too soon) the David Icke forums provide an overview of the areas the movement is actively concerned with, and much like RationalWiki, it's a great place to stand in awe of all the bullshit that is really out there.

Also much like RationalWiki, the David Icke forums seem to bring up almost everything between heaven and earth, as you'll see below - the site is a veritable Twilight Zone mirror of RationalWiki, touching upon a jaw-dropping amount of fringe topics, yet without the application of a single shred of scepticism or sound thought. The operative difference between the two sites being, that only one of these two sites has a userbase which have completely lost their marbles and now find themselves riverdancing internally while somersaulting backwards through time into a pineal gland-shaped wormhole packed to the brim with Nazi UFO's. Suck on that mint while you read on.

Note that the below categories were not made by RationalWiki, but are the literal names of the subforums Icke chose to specifically accomodate on his official forums (seeing as how meaningful they clearly all are). These categories and their contents may be viewed in their original glory on the official David Icke forums. As will be made apparent below, it isn't for nothing that David Icke is often referred to as the anointed son of the grand unified conspiracy theory.

Interestingly, the David Icke forums' chosen areas of interest largely overlap with ours - we have articles on most of this bollocks. These include;

Stopped clock moments

Despite Icke's craziness, he has actually denounced the Christian patriot movement in the United States. He has stated that he does not know which world is more undesirable in his view: the one wanted by the New World Order or the one with which the American conspiratorial right wish to replace it. This has put him at odds with other conspiracy theorists such as Mark Dice and Alex Jones.

Icke also encourages people to be skeptical of religious fundamentalism in general... but just not of his crazy ideas. Regarding religion, "David's view has always been that all religions exist in order to divide and rule".

His official forums also dedicate an entire section to what they call "Exposing Child Abuse". A noble intention, though disappointingly their interest in the tragedy of abused children is plainly to pursue various hodgepodge conspiracy theories regarding the british royal family, grand wizardry and satanic abuse. Even the LGBT movement is allowed to take it on the chin, thanks to a one-sentence thick veneer of plausible deniability.

If nothing else, the official forums set a very harsh standard against racism, perhaps in an effort to separate themselves from the reptilian/international jew connection, stating;

“”People are welcome to discuss issues surrounding race. Racist remarks will not be tolerated on this forum. Political stances can be discussed without resorting to racial stereo-typing and abusive remarks towards a race of people. Anybody trying to stir up racial hatred will be banned without warning. The issues surrounding Israel are legitimate subjects for debate and David Icke has not flinched from addressing them despite the attacks on him this has triggered over the years. However, this debate can be conducted without falling into the cesspit of gratuitous racist abuse. There is no need for this for a view about Israel's policies to be expressed and this is not a place to dump such bile. There are many forums that would welcome it, this one does not. We do not shy away from discussing controversial topics. We welcome debates where other mainstream media outlets would not. However, this is not an opportunity for anyone with any kind of racist agenda to spread their propaganda or to recruit others.

—garethicke, Administrator, David Icke forums

Though as we've seen above, these rules appear to be poorly enforced, arguably rendering them - de facto - for show.

In response to the phase-out of incandescent light bulbs, Icke scorns compact flourescent lamps as being "more than cumulatively lethal", claiming that "they give off radiation and chemicals and all that stuff". While mercury is obviously truly toxic, studies on CFL's actually side with Icke on all of these claims.

His greatest stopped clock moment so far is - hands down, without a doubt - allegedly not bothering to frequent his own official forums.
