If the tribal backwoods quack, Mutwa, doesn't quite provide the credibility you're looking for, then perhaps Zecharia Sitchin, a New Age whack job in his own right, will fit the bill. Sitchin has authored a number of books based on a similar Sumerian/E.T./Welch connection. Additionally, he is probably more well known for his examination of photographs sent back from Mars by several NASA probes wherein he identifies ancient Martian buildings, castles, fortifications, strip malls, parking ramps, septic tanks, etc.
However, when Icke informed his compatriot in the fantastically far-out of his intentions to research this nefarious reptile-dominated worldwide shogunate, Sitchin warned him in a deep foreboding tone, "Don't go there."
When I read this in Icke's book, I pictured both men sitting in Sitchin's car along a lonely stretch of gravel road far out in the country; both of them holding lollipops and wearing beanie propeller hats. Just as Sitchin utters his dire warning not to tread where lizards reign, a black helicopter emerges from behind a nearby farmhouse and hovers ominously overhead. Then, without hesitation, Sitchin floors it and both nut cases zoom over the side of a deep canyon Thelma and Louise style, holding hands and crying. A tattered copy of The Celestine Prophesies flies out an open window and flutters gently to the ground.
"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.

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.
7 - Whats going on?
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?
