The Truth Shall Set You Free
Published April 09, 2004
"But ok," you say. "So what? The President eats flies. Big deal. As long as he keeps the potholes filled, I don't care." And I'd agree whole-heartedly, but Icke has an ace up his sleeve. Not only are the political and economic elite of the world half-reptile/half-mammal, but they're also shape-shifters!
Oo! Scary!
For the uninitiated, a shape-shifter is someone, or something, which can transform its physical shape from human to reptilian and back again at will. Icke is a little vague about how this occurs, however. Does the reptile/politician utter some enchanted phrase? Wave a magic wand? Wiggle their nose like Samantha Stephens on Bewitched? And why is it no one on that show seemed to notice when Dick Sargent took over for Dick York in the role of Darrin Stephens? Endora, Mr. Tate, Uncle Arthur, Dr. Bombay - they all acted like nothing had changed. Oh, but you can bet Gladys Kravitz noticed. Everyone thought she was the neighborhood head case, but she knew The Truth.
And now you can, too, compliments of David Icke's amateur sleuthing!
To quote the author, "Indeed, if you do your job well enough, the people will laugh at the truth, call it insane, and ridicule anyone who promotes it." In my book, a statement like that is called trying to steal the moral high ground without credible merit to back it up. If only you would simply open your mind to the possibility of the impossible, it would all become crystal clear; throw away your common sense and accept the idea that reptiles rule the world and not a class of power-hungry, self-aggrandizing political pinheads. It's no different than the Kennedy assassination. Surely it can't be as simple as a maniacal gunman behind the trigger. Just like in the movie They Live!, if you would only put on the sunglasses -or in this case, buy the book- you'd see the truth that has been hidden from you.
I can't say I'd recommend that you rush out and buy this book. Maybe just check to see if your local library has it in stock. It's a fun read, as long as you don't take it seriously; much of it is Grade-A nonsense and caters directly to the UFO/Bigfoot/Art Bell audience. People like David Icke, Zecharia Sitchin, Erich Von Daniken, and a host of other flimflam artists are the modern day version of the snake oil salesman. They make a convincing sales pitch, but under close scrutiny, it turns out the magic elixir they're peddling is nothing more than a bottle full of mule piss and mustard seed.
I'm more willing to accept David Guest, Liza Minelli's gay ex-husband, is straight, than I am that Madeline Albright is an iguana. Well, looks aside...

Tom, here's a tip:
ANY book cover that looks like it was drawn by a junior high kid on drugs using felt-tip markers is going to contain insane theories about aliens, ancient civilizations, and lizards.
I'm serious. It's been tested by the Librarians Association of America.
Yer welcome.

Hilarious Tom, thanks. People are so willing to believe anything that tells them "it" isn't their fault, and "it" could be anything.
I agree that Icke is a nutjob, but I don't agree with lumping him in with important writers like Von Daniken and Sitchin. Von Daniken has produced some important work and theories and Sichin's work has yet to be discredited by anyone of merit. Most writers who have attacked Sitchin's theories have not read all of his work and have nowhere near the knowledge of ancient languages that he does. Some of his ideas might be a little out there but the foundation of his writing is solid. Just because you personally can't imagine something doesn't mean that the idea does not have merit. To quote the great H.G. Wells, "Damn it all, I told you so!"
I don't know if David Icke is a nut job or not, however, I am always curious about the people that write the rebuttals. So far no one has proven anything he, David, says never happened including science in my view. In fact I challenge anyone to disprove it. It can't be any worse than the Jesus scam. So far no one has proven what happens after death either? and if anyone thinks that what everyday modern humans do violently to each other is normal, natural and necessary, who's insane???
Why do people presume Ickes a squirrel? Have they tried the white powder of gold, the Mfkzt, the philosophers stone, Ormes, the powder contained in the ark of the covenant? Were they there when the Egyptians consumed it? If they were well done, they've obviously shifted some incredible shapes in their time! At the end of the day his opinion is 'impartial' and offers no food for thought regarding the future of cyberian civilization and the birth of the cyborg.
I'd just like to ask what is going on in Ickes head? Is Icke an undercover scientologist or what? Why is it that nobody's come up with the lizard theory before? Smacks of some corporate scam - have you seen the price he charges for his books? If he was serious, surely he would have a conclusion about cyborgs, the soul catcher 2025, the microchip, genetics... If it is our evolutionary destiny to become computers, a global brain, where's the missing link to convince us to stick a chip in our heads and give up the 'protein' body? Whats going on? What's happened to Professor David Hudson, has he been silenced or this another hoax? This is a ridiculous maize of diabolical nonsense created by window heads. And why do the books needed to make sense of this clusterfuck cost over $200 on Amazon?
