| ==Early life== | |||
| Icke was born in ] to Beric Vaughan Icke (born 1907, Leicester) and Barbara J. Icke (née Cooke) (married 1951, Leicester), and was raised on a ], or public housing, according to the biography on his website. <ref name=Ickeweb>, retrieved May 22, 2006</ref> He left school to play football for ] and ] in the English league, playing as a goalkeeper until forced to retire at the age of 21 because of arthritis. | |||
| He found a job with a local newspaper in Leicester and became a reporter, moving on to local sports presenter for BBC South's Programme ]. He appeared on the first episode of British television's first national breakfast show ] presenting the sports news and featured on the show until 1985<ref> Television archives</ref>. He would also become strong part of ]'s presentation team, often as a stand-in host on ] and ] programmes. He was part of the BBC team at the ], but he left the BBC later that year <ref name=greenslade>Greenslade, Nick. , ''The Observer'', September 5, 2004</ref> to become an activist for the ]. He rose swiftly to the position of national media spokesperson. In 1990, he wrote ''It Doesn't Have To Be Like This'', an outline of his views on the environment and his political philosophy. | |||
| ==Contact with the spirit world== | |||
| In his online autobiography, Icke writes that, in March 1990, while he was a national spokesperson for the ], he received a message from the spirit world through a ], <ref name=Ronson4>]. (video), Channel 4 Television, retrieved May 22, 2006.</ref> (video) identified by ''The Guardian'' as ], a medium from Brighton. <ref>, ''The Guardian'', January 12, 2003.</ref> She told him he was a ] who had been chosen for his courage and sent to heal the earth, and that he had been directed into football to learn discipline. He was going to leave politics and would become famous, she said, writing five books in three years, and one day there would be a great earthquake, and the "sea will reclaim land," because human beings were abusing the earth. | |||
| When Icke told the Green Party leadership what he had experienced, he was banned from speaking at public meetings on their behalf. <ref name=greenslade/> In 1991, after a trip to ], he wrote ''Truth Vibrations'', an autobiographical work which summarized his life experiences up to that point, with an emphasis on his recent ] encounters. He began to wear only ] and on ], ], held a press conference to announce: "I am a channel for the Christ spirit. The title was given to me very recently by the ]." <ref name=Cohen185>Cohen 1991, cited in Laming, Donald. ''Understanding Human Motivation: What makes people tick'', Blackwell, p. 185.</ref> | |||
| In an interview on the ] show that year, he announced that he was "the son of God," <ref name=Ronson4/> and that Britain would be devastated by ]s and earthquakes. His statements were met with laughter and ridicule from the studio audience, derision in the press, and suggestions that he was ]. Icke later said that he had been misinterpreted by the media. According to Icke, he used the term "the son of God" "... in the sense of being an aspect, as I understood it at the time, of the Infinite consciousness that is everything. As I have written before, we are like droplets of water in an ocean of infinite consciousness" (''Tales From The Time Loop'' 2003). | |||
| After being widely ridiculed, he disappeared from public view. He has written that, for several years, he was unable to walk down the street without people pointing and laughing, and that this experience helped him find the courage to develop his controversial ideas, because he was no longer afraid of what people thought of him. He told ]: "One of my very greatest fears as a child was being ridiculed in public. And there it was coming true. As a television presenter, I'd been respected. People come up to you in the street and shake your hand and talk to you in a respectful way. And suddenly, overnight, this was transformed into 'Icke's a nutter'. I couldn't walk down any street in Britain without being laughed at. It was a nightmare. My children were devastated because their dad was a figure of ridicule." <ref name=Ronson1>Ronson, Jon. , an extract from Ronson's book ,''Them: Advertures with Extremists'', ''The Guardian'', March 17, 2001.</ref> | |||
| == Conspiracy writings == | |||
| Icke has published 20 books outlining his views, a mixture of ] philosophy and apocalyptic conspiracism. American political scientist Michael Barkun, in a 2003 study of ] ], writes that Icke is "the most fluent of conspiracy authors, which gives his writings a clarity rarely found in the genre." <ref name=Barkun98ff>Barkun, Michael. ''A Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America'', Comparative Studies in Religion and Society, University of California Press, 2003, p.98ff.</ref> His talent for communicating with people led ] to call him "the Greens' ]." <ref>Taylor, Sam. "So I was in this bar with the son of God...." ''The Observer'', April 20, 1997.</ref> | |||
| Icke's core ideas are outlined in four books written over seven years: ''The Robots' Rebellion'' (1994), ''... And the Truth Shall Set You Free'' (1995), ''The Biggest Secret: The Book that Will Change the World'' (1999), and ''Children of the Matrix'' (2001). The basic conspiracy theory is that the world is controlled by a network of secret societies referred to as the "Brotherhood," at the ] of which stand the "Illuminati" or "Global Elite." <ref name=Barkun104>Barkun, Michael. ''A Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America'', Comparative Studies in Religion and Society, University of California Press, 2003, p. 104.</ref> The goal of the Brotherhood is a world government, a plan that Icke says was laid out in the anti-semitic hoax, '']'', which Icke says are really the revealed plans of the Illuminati. Icke, in common with many other conspiracy theorists, says the methods of these conspirators include control of the world's economies and the use of mind-control techniques. <ref name=Barkun104/> | |||
| The Global Elite controls the Brotherhood and the world using what Icke calls a "] of manipulation," <ref name=Barkun104/> consisting of sets of hierarchical structures involving banking, business, the military, education, the media, religion, drug companies, intelligence agencies, and organized crime. | |||
| At the very top of the pyramid are what Icke calls the "Prison Warders," who are not human. <ref name=truth185>Icke, David. ''... And the Truth Shall Set You Free'', 1995, p. 185.</ref> He writes that: "A pyramidal structure of human beings has been created under the influence and design of the extraterrestrial Prison Warders and their overall master, the Luciferic Consciousness. They control the human clique at the top of the pyramid, which I have dubbed the Global Elite." <ref name=truth185/> | |||
| Icke cites the ], ], and the ] as examples of events financed and organized by the Global Elite. British journalist Simon Jones writes that, according to Icke, "Ordinary people are being massively duped into believing that the ordinary course of world events are the consequence of known political forces and random, uncontrollable events. However, the course of humanity is being manipulated at every level. These individuals arrange for incidents to occur around the world, which then elicit a response from the public ('something must be done'), and in turn allows those in power to do whatever they had planned to do in the first place." <ref name=Jones>Jones, Simon. , ''Word Smith'', April 3, 1996</ref> Icke refers to this as ''problem-reaction-solution'', <ref>Icke, David. , ''News for the Soul'', retrieved May 24, 2006.</ref> a variation of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's "Hegelian Dialectic". | |||
| ===Reptilian humanoids=== | |||
| In 1999, Icke wrote and published ''The Biggest Secret: The Book that Will Change the World'', in which he identified the extraterrestrial Prison Warders as reptilians from the constellation Draco. <ref name=Barkun105>Barkun, Michael. ''A Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America'', Comparative Studies in Religion and Society, University of California Press, 2003, p. 105.</ref>They walk erect and appear to be human, living not only on the planets they come from, but also in caverns and tunnels under the earth. They have cross-bred with humans, which has created "hybrids" who are "possessed" by the full-blooded reptilians. <ref name=secret>Icke, David. ''The Biggest Secret: The Book that Will Change the World'', 1999, pp 1, 24-27, 259-60</ref> The reptiles' hybrid reptilian-human DNA allows them to change from reptilian to human form if they consume human blood. Icke has drawn parallels with the 1980s science-fiction series ], in which the earth is taken over by reptiloid aliens disguised as humans. | |||
| According to Icke, the reptilian group includes many prominent people and practically every world leader from Britain's late ] to ], ], ], and ]. These people are either themselves reptilian, or work for the reptiles as what Icke calls slave-like victims of ]: "The ], ], the ], and the ruling political and economic families of the U.S. and the rest of the world come from these SAME bloodlines. It is not because of snobbery, it is to hold as best they can a genetic structure — the reptilian-mammalian ] combination which allows them to ']'." <ref name=standard/> | |||
| Icke has since published a number of additional books on the same theme. His latest work sees ], also a reptilian, playing a key role in what Icke alleges is a ]. In ''Tales From The Time Loop'' and other works, Icke states that most organized religions, especially ], ], and ], are Illuminati creations designed to divide and conquer the human race through endless conflicts. In a similar vein, Icke believes racial and ethnic divisions are an illusion promoted by the reptilians, and that racism fuels the Illuminati agenda. | |||
| ==Relationship with the far right== | |||
| Michael Barkun, Professor of Political Science at the Maxwell School, ], writes that Icke has moved aggressively to increase the size of his audience with the use of an elaborate website, by arranging speaking tours in the UK, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, and by selling books and videotapes. <ref name=Barkun106>Barkun, Michael. ''A Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America'', Comparative Studies in Religion and Society, University of California Press, 2003, p. 106.</ref> | |||
| Barkun writes that Icke has "clearly sought to cultivate the extreme right," but that the relationship is tense because of the New Age "baggage" that Icke brings with him. Barkun cites the London '']'', which wrote in 1995 that: "uncanny parallels are emerging between Icke's thoughts ... and the writings of senior figures in the armed militia movement in America." <ref name=standard/> Barkun writes that Icke's relationship with ]s and ]s is complex. On the one hand, Icke believes the Christian patriots to be the only Americans who understand the truth about the ], but on the other, he allegedly told a Christian Patriot group: "I don't know which I dislike more, the world controlled by the Brotherhood, or the one you want to replace it with." <ref name=Barkun107>Barkun, Michael. ''A Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America'', Comparative Studies in Religion and Society, University of California Press, 2003, p. 107.</ref> | |||
| ===Allegations of anti-Semitism=== | |||
| Icke's theories have been attacked as ] because of his references to a secret elite that rules the world, which includes prominent Jewish banking families, who he says planned the ] and financed ], and his use of the '']''. In ''... And the Truth Shall Set You Free'' he wrote that: | |||
| :"I strongly believe that a small Jewish clique which has contempt for the mass of Jewish people worked with non-Jews to create the ], the ], and the ]. This Jewish/non-Jewish Elite used the First World War to secure the ] and the principle of the Jewish State of ]. They then dominated the Versailles Peace Conference and created the circumstances which made the Second World War inevitable. They financed Hitler to power in 1933 and made the funds available for his rearmament." <ref name=quotes/> | |||
| In 1995, Alick Bartholomew of Gateway, at that time Icke's publisher, told the ''London Evening Standard'' that an early draft of ''... And the Truth Shall Set You Free'' contained "] material." <ref name=standard/> | |||
| Icke has cited ], ] and other far-right publications in his books. British journalist Simon Jones notes that the bibliography of ''... And the Truth Shall Set You Free'' lists ''The Spotlight'', formerly published by the now-defunct ], and which Icke calls "excellent," and ''On Target'', published by the ], which has organized speaking tours for ] ]. Jones writes: "It's tempting to dismiss David Icke as a confused and ignorant man, manipulated by extremists in order to present their philosophy in a socially acceptable format. But Icke clearly understands the implications of his words." <ref name=Jones/> | |||
| Mark Honigsbaum has written about the apparent link between the more extreme ] proponents and the far-right armed militia movement in the U.S. <ref name=standard/> Icke's books contain multiple references to the "Illuminati," which Icke and the militia movement believe constitutes the secret government they call the "New World Order". In 1995, Honigsbaum wrote in the ''London Evening Standard'' that ], the British neo-Nazi group, was publicizing Icke's speaking tour of the UK in its internal magazine, ''Putsch''. The magazine wrote that Icke spoke about "'the sheep' and how the 'illuminati', uses them for its own ends". <ref name=standard/> The story continued: " began to talk about the big conspiracy by a group of bankers, media moguls etc. — always being clever enough not to mention what all these had in common." <ref name=standard/> | |||
| Icke believes that Combat 18 is a front for the ] (ADL), which in turn is an "Illuminati front." <ref name=Ronson4/> The role of the ADL, he says, is to "brand as anti-Semitic" anyone who gets close to "the truth." <ref name=Ronson4/> In ''... And the Truth Shall Set You Free'', he wrote: "In Britain, I am told by an extremely reliable source very close to the intelligence organisations that the "far-right" group, Combat 18, is a front for the sinister Anti-Defamation League, the United States arm of the ]i/Rothschild secret service, ]. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has been operating in Britain and Europe since at least 1991 and its role is to brand as anti-Semitic anyone who is getting close to the truth of what is going on. What better way to discredit an investigator than to have a "far-Right" group like Combat 18 to praise them?" <ref name=truth133>Icke, David. ''...and the truth shall set you free'', pp 133-134, cited in Offley, Will. , ''PublicEye.org'', Political Research Associates, February 23, 2000.</ref> | |||
| Icke has strongly denied that his reptiles represent Jews, calling it "friggin' nonsense." <ref name=Ronson4/> "I am not an anti-Semite!", he told ''The Guardian'', "I have a great respect for the Jewish people." <ref name=Ronson2/> He maintains that the reptilians are not human, and therefore not Jewish, but are "extra-dimensional entities" that enter and control human minds. "This is not a Jewish plot. This is not a plot on the world by Jewish people," he told ]. <ref name=Ronson4/> | |||
| During a question-and-answer session after one of his lectures, Icke told Jones: "I believe that people have a right to believe, to read, and have access to all information, so that they can then make up their own minds what to think. If something is a nonsense, and if something doesn't stand up, it will be shown to be a nonsense in the spotlight of the public arena." <ref name=Jones/> | |||
| British journalist ], reviewing ]'s ''Them: Adventures with Extremists'', cautioned against accusing Icke of anti-Semitism: "Icke's 'theory' is basically ''The Protocols of the Elders of Zion'' with a new cast and a few script changes. Not surprisingly, Icke has come under suspicion of anti-Semitism.... Not only might it be unfair to Icke, but by implying that he is so dangerous that he has to be censored, the watchdogs are giving a patina of seriousness to ideas that are — let's face it — very, very silly." <ref>Theroux, Louis. , ''The Guardian'', April 7, 2001</ref> | |||
| ===Protests in Canada=== | |||
| In 1999, Icke's books were removed from ] stores across ], and several venues on his speaking tour were cancelled, after protests from the ]. <ref name=Kraft/> The ] allowed his planned speech there to go ahead, despite the presence of 70 protesters, including the ], outside the Hart House Theatre. Icke received a standing ovation from the audience after speaking for five hours. <ref name=Jabbari/> | |||
| University of Toronto law professor Edward Morgan wrote on ], ] to the university's president, Robert Pritchard: "Having been involved in a number of the more renowned cases in Canada dealing with hate literature, it is my view that this is precisely the type of vilifying material with which the ] was concerned in its decision regarding the ] ban. The publications praise classic anti-Semitic tracts, and are replete with references to a secret society carrying on a global conspiracy led by a manipulating Jewish clique. The material which I have reviewed finds no place in the Canadian marketplace of ideas." <ref name=Jabbari/> | |||
| Sumari Communications, which hosted Icke's tour, denied the allegations: "I dispute the anti-Semite issue because the Jewish community has chosen to isolate anti-Semitic quotes in David's books which he himself uses quotes from Jewish authors to prove his theories. No one is forcing these people to be here, but what is important is that they have the choice. It is called freedom and David doesn't even mention the Jews in his talks." <ref name=Jabbari/> | |||
| Icke himself addressed the concerns during his speech: "Is this a Jewish plot? No, No, No. Is it a plot? Yes, Yes, Yes. We are being manipulated, and I do not care if you are Jewish, Chinese, Catholic, etc. We are all being manipulated. And those people that are offended by what I have to say, they should choose not to be offended." <ref name=Jabbari/> | |||
| ==Current activities== | |||
| Icke lives in ] on the ], where he makes occasional public appearances. | |||
| In January 2003, he travelled to ], and later talked about having used ]: " is a plant – a ] plant – which they turn in to what they call a turn and ] in ] have been using it for centuries at least to take people into other realms of reality.... I took it twice and it was an experience – particularly on the 2nd night – that completely transformed my view of life. What it did was take my intellectual understanding that the world is an illusion into the realms of knowing it’s an illusion and there’s a difference between intellectually understanding it’s an illusion and this level of knowing it because you’ve experienced it. I got to the age of 50 without taking a single magic mushroom and I never even had one smoke of pot or anything." <ref>, ''News for the Soul'', undated, retrieved May 23, 2006</ref> | |||
| ==Mainstream and pop cultural references== | |||
| ;Television | |||
| *On 26 December 2006, the British television channel ] broadcast a neutral documentary entitled "David Icke: Was He Right?" Viewable here: | |||
| *David Icke was further featured in the third episode of the first season of the comedy duo ]'s '']'' about alien abductions. | |||
| *On an episode of '']'', entitled "Leapin' Lizards," a character based on Icke (portrayed by ]), who popularizes a ] about shapeshifting, reptilian alien invaders, is the inspiration for a con man's ]. | |||
| ;Music | |||
| *]'s ''Bowl of Flies'' contained the lyrics "David Icke is right/does he need to give his life/to prove that he is right". | |||
| *]'s album ] recommended ''And the Truth Shall Set You Free'' as further reading alongside eight other books. This connection to conspiracy was brought to a head with the release of 2005's "Conspiritus" album (Earache records) - a concept album about a dystopian world controlled by the Illuminati. There is a link to buy the CD online through David Icke's own website. | |||
| *]'s ''After the Watershed'' contained the lyrics "Goodbye Ruby Tuesday/ Come home you silly cow/ We've baked a cake and all your friends are waiting/ And David Icke would like to show us how/ To love you back to life again now". The song is more famous for the inevitable ] copyright lawsuit. The band stated that the lyrics were actually about domestic abuse. | |||
| *] of ] wrote a song called "Sympathy for David Icke". Slightly tongue in cheek, the song urges people to look beyond the negative media hype and read David's books. "I'm not saying he's the king, and he himself claims no such thing, He said we all are points of light, and you know what, I think he's right." | |||
| *] wrote a song, ''The Ballad of David Icke'', available on , that contains the lyrics "The secret rulers of the world / have stolen my girl." | |||
| *Essex band ] sampled parts of Icke's speeches and set them to music in the song 'Queenie' originally known as 'Half Sick' released in 2003 as a b-side to their single 'You Drive Me Crazy'. | |||
| *In June 2006, metal band ] released two songs "Prelude To Malevolence" and "Watchtower of Malevolence." The Lyrics from Prelude, "Deep in the earth they dwell in the lowest parts of hell, planning for their day to ascend to bring the world to an end" are a direct reference to the ] mentioned in David Icke's work. Additional references to Icke become obvious in the follow-up song (Watchtower of Malevolence) where lead singer Matt Swinford is heard shouting "Annunaki." | |||
| *In an 8 February 2007 posting on their website , ] frontman ] made reference to an unnamed person entering his "David Icke" phase. This response came quickly after a taunt from ], a member of Oasis; Yorke can be assumed to be talking about Gallagher. | |||
| *In a published by BBC Homes and Antiques magazine in January 2006, Icke was voted the third most eccentric star, being beaten by ] and ]. | |||
| *In ], Adrian secretly expresses his respect for Icke and wishes others would treat his theories more seriously. | |||
| ;Comic books | |||
| *Comic book writer ] developed several plot and character elements of the ] series '']'' (a revamp of '']'') based on Icke's worldview. In creating ] for a modern audience, Millar gave readers a handsome, blond European with vague ties to radical environmentalist groups, who inexplicably insists that he is the incarnation of that ] ]. ], the series has remained coy as to whether Ultimate Thor is crazy or divine. Icke also unwittingly contributed the name for an invading reptilian alien race called the ], called ] in the earlier ''Avengers'' series. | |||
| * Issue 143 of the ]/] comic ] features the ], ] using his skills as a ] to misdirect a nosy ] ] from his ] ] by giving him a false "Supernatural History of London" heavily influenced by the theories of Mr. Icke. | |||
