David Icke covers the Illuminati hybrid bloodlines, reptilians & ETs, mind control, satanic rituals, ancient civilisations, the global political and economic machinations, secret societies, the assault on our health and ability to use higher consciousness, and much more. He even exposes the man-made global warming con, and how the "boom or bust" economy is manipulated, and its purpose. Icke offers clear, concise overviews of the "new physics" and the nature of how vibratory reality is generated, with his use of the hologram and matrix metaphors. Icke expects a global awakening and in a small segment of the population this is apparently occurring. Icke is the one "conspiracy researcher" who has developed a relatively advanced spiritual awareness from which he can provide a useful context and understanding of the material he has uncovered. This book overlaps much with his previous works, refining and updating his analysis of the many facets and details of the conspiratorial nature of civilization, as well as his description of the physics and metaphysics underlying our reality. Icke doesn't really have anything new or groundbreaking here that goes beyond his previous books, yet this book puts things together pretty well and offers a lot of insights to help readers who are ready to deprogramme themselves from consensus reality. Yes, magnificent - both the book and the man: he has shouldered on for decades despite much opposition and has repeatedly put his head above the parapet. Yes, this is basically an updated version of his earlier books but I found that I had forgotten a lot of it and welcomed this review: each book is better put together than the previous one and this is the best, so far, providing the most perspective. Yes, there is a split - you are either a conspiracy theorist or a coincidence theorist. Yes, either/both is/are crazy, so take your pick as there is no real evidence for either side. But controversy about coincidence vs conspiracy is as stupid as the controversy about creationism vs darwinism - there's no real proof for either side so the arguments - on either side - are basically down to closeminded people who like to argue. Same as the arguments for and against Icke.... We are simply not going to know the Truth in this reality - and, as Einstein apparently said: "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." HOWEVER, the information presented by David Icke does make sense of why so many bad things happen and continue to happen. How could you otherwise explain why education and medicine (to name just two subjects that affect every single one of us) are in the terrible state they are in? How CAN you explain why there are still so many wars and so much torture and nastiness even though the silent majority do NOT want any of this? So much, SO much, only makes sense if you accept at least some of the information provided by Icke. If you find it exciting to be shown different ways to view the world, this book is for you.

David Icke is a self publishing author and here is why

Customer Rating:

This author lets his paranoia with the unknown questions of the world preoccupying us all, get in the way of his writing . He forgets that his first reason for writing is to convince his reader of his views, far fetched as they may be, through argumented and carefully supported points. Instead he expects you to buy unquestioningly into his ramblings. There are much greater and important people dealing with these existential quesions, who engage the reader into the whole fenomenology of human history and its archetypes. I would encourage this writer to expand his knowledge basis and respect his readers. Perhaps he should refer to the complete work of Mircea Eliade, but that might prove too much for a man in love with his own theories and an obvious short fuse when it comes to logical and deductive thinking. I have never been so annoyed about spending money on a book, felt so disrepected as an intelect who can make up my own mind about arguments put before me, and let down by the printed word. Buy, only if you like the hectoring of a writer so convinced with his stuff that he doesn't bother about you.This is not provocative writing, it is simply disappointing. He undermines his own position by some of the most far out theories whose basis he does not bother to share with us. Internet culture at its worst.....

An attempt at balance

Customer Rating:

On the subject of Icke, most people can be split into one of two categories. (1) Those who think he's a basket case. (2) Those who see him as some sort of modern-day messiah. Reviews of his books tend to reflect this. They either dismiss his work as the nonsensical ramblings of a loon, or champion it as "the most important you'll ever read." Neither review is very illuminating. To dismiss all of Icke's theories as deluded claptrap is close-minded and lazy. So is slavishly agreeing with everything he says. A more balanced review is needed here. So, here are the positives. First, Icke isn't half bad as a writer. True, he's no Mark Twain. True, the fairly informal tone is sometimes too reminiscent of an irate cabbie. But there is a certain clarity and structure to his writing here that is rarely found in conspiracy literature. Icke's theories are far more complex than you think (which means to say, more complex than the mass media have ever given him credit for) but they are laid out in a fairly coherant narrative. Although there's a lot to take in here, it is quite a friendly read. I never felt overwhelmed by the detail or lost in the complications. He deserves credit for this. Second, there are undoubtedly parts of this book that are interesting. Actually, there are certain subjects on which Icke's views are not a million miles from my own. I agree with much of what he's written about globalist networks and the inevitable move towards more supranational forms of government. I share his concerns for our ever-eroding civil liberties. I broadly agree with him on global warming. His chapter on symbology was very interesting. His chapter on 9/11 poses many reasonable questions and, in doing so, has rekindled my interest in the subject. Indeed, I imagine his book on 9/11, if sufficiently focused on the subject, would be a very good read. The negatives? Well, I suppose my main gripe is quite predictable. The problem is that, mized in with all the interesting and convincing arguments, is all the stuff about alien reptiles. Put simply, everything Icke writes is underpinned by a belief that alien reptiles came to the earth centuries ago and cross-bred with humans, thus creating a race of human-reptile hybrids. Furthermore, he believes these hybrids live among us and occupy the most powerful positions in banking, business, the media and politics. Oh, and he believes they are conspiring to enslave humanity under a global fascist dictatorshop. Everything can be explained by this conspiracy. Icke presents no credible, hard evidence to prove the existence of these hybrids, let alone their plot to enslave humanity. Even ignoring the lack of proof, Icke's theory just doesn't stand to reason. The reptilian elite he describes control everything and have knowledge of science and technology well beyond anything we can imagine. With such power at their disposal, why have they taken a Fabian-type approach to world domination, working towards it piece by piece over centuries? Couldn't they just take over? Assuming they get a kick out of doing it by stealth, hasn't history presented ample opportunity to establish their dictatorship under the guise of something else? Perhaps Icke has satisfactory answers to those questions, but I did not find them in his book. This all makes for a very odd work; one in which many valid concerns and arguments are interweaved with the sort of nonsensical, bad science-fiction plot you'd expect from L. Ron Hubbard. I cannot recommend it as a whole. On balance, I think the guff far outweighs the good and, though Icke is very good on some subjects, better writers exist. For example, Quigley is infinitely better on organisation of power through private-member organisations and their networks. Booker & North write with far more eloquence and detail on supranational government and the phenomenon of engineered "scares." But the book is not completely without value. For Icke novices, I doubt a better overview of his work exists and, thinking generally, there is positives to any book that encourages people to question what the establishment tells them and, therefore, the reality immediately presented to them.

David Icke, we salute you!

I'm only halfway through but this is truly magnificent. I hadn't read anything else of his and am new to the whole NWO stuff, and after reaching a certain point of internet research, I wanted a cover to cover complete guide, and even though hadn't learnt anything more about Icke since his fall from grace (whatever you want to call it) in the early 90's, I was open to learning what he ACTUALLY has to say. Even though this has some wild theories (are they though?) it is clear that this man is far from being mad or anything of that nature. However much of this is true doesn't actually matter to most readers I'm sure, as no matter what, much of this makes you look at EVERYTHING from a very different perspective. So the thought provoking aspects of this book is the real beauty of it. I'm not sure how much it would be worth to read his other works written before this, as this really is definitive regarding the message(s) he puts across. Also his talk at Brixton (7 hours long BTW) is a very good guide to much of what he says here, with certain important things not included that the book adds to help with the "dot connecting". So in summary, this could possibly be the most important thing you could read in your life. Buy it, read it and tell others, and to the ignorant people who laugh at you for subscribing to Icke's views on the world, just use the quote that Icke does at the heading of one of the early chapters from Albert Einstein: "Condemnation without investigation is the highest form of ignorance". How true.
