David Icke, Crank Or Visionary Genius?

[Jonnyjoseph]

I've just seen a snippet on This Morning and his views have me intrigued.

Have any of you read his books? What are your opinions of him and i'm not talking about you reading a short article labeling him as a crank in the tabloids but have read a few of his books or seen a few of his dvd's and are entitled to make an educated judgement.

Does anyone know where i can get the whole set of his books or dvd's cheap/secondhand?

Do they sell them anywhere as a whole set like dvd boxsets?

Well you could alywas go to the eponomously named David Icke books website;

I have attempted to read all the way through one of Ickes books, but it is really difficult to get past the more outrageously absurd claims.

IMO there is no doubt that he is a crank. albeit one with some charisma. And he is certainly a visionary - he has established a rather lucrative speaking and writing career based upon conspiracy theory and absurdity - no mean feat.

Call me narrow-mined if you like, but I'm not going to trawl through the entire works of David Icke before making a judgment.
Although I must admit if that approach was adopted with everyone the world would be a quieter place :-)

Not seen it yet, but I put it on for record this morning.

Still not sure about him, but what he says is very interesting and, without wanting to sound like a loon, I think there is some truth in it... although I'll never be convinced on the whole 'Lizard' thing!

He's got a new book out (which I'm hoping will be on the doormat when I get home!) but if you want to read some of his old stuff then maybe have a look on Ebay/Amazon?

Check out his website too, and YouTube channel...

Bonkers !!! But we are playing a part in a big holographic game controlled by inter alios the royal family...so it ought not matter what we think....it's only a game !!!

No one should be surprised at the attraction of the relatively sane mainsteam religions of the world when so many people are prepared to lap up Icke's nonsense AND pay for the privilege :-)

[MadMen]

The trouble with Icke is that he gives facts (that can be documented) and then starts talking about the bloody reptilians, which kind of discredits what he's just been saying.

[MadMen]

Is that it? Is the OP not coming back for discussion?

[Old_Geezer]

The lizards have got him.

[MadMen]

Lol. I hate it when that happens! :P

It's annoying when someone posts a thread that could spark interesting responses and debate, and then buggers off.

[LazyGun]

Well, in fairness, there are no rules surrounding how frequently you should monitor your responses, and how fast you have to respond - they may, for example, have posted the question and then gone out shopping, savouring the moment when they can return and read the considered responses offered :)

He's made alot of money out of being a crank. Who knows how much of it he actually believes? It's a mystery.

[marwel7]

He will probably turn out to be 100% correct.!

[RATTER15]

an utter and total crank!!
