Here is a quote taken from Icke's headlines:

(Three people who together have been responsible for the deaths of fantastic numbers of civilians. It's like calling three arsonists to put out a fire.)

Don't you just love the way he manages to find some humour in today's dark times:

What he could also have added is that if this had been a demonstration in a 'covert' dictatorship like USA or Britain, then he would have been applauding the military for dealing so swiftly with these miscreants.

Isn't it funny how demonstrators are condemned over here but hailed under the pretext of an overt dictatorship like Burma???

fuck you too clipwip, you europoid colony yank, hahaha siriusly it's spelt humour

UK ↓ US ↓ Notes
aeroplane airplane Aeroplane with three syllables is standard in the U.K. and was first coined in 1866 [1] referring both to the vehicle and the wings' function. The prefix 'aero' is also preferred for related terms such as aerodrome, aeronautics. Airplane, with two syllables was first coined in 1906[2] is the primary U.S. spelling, used very rarely in the U.K. but is understood.
aluminium aluminum Aluminium is the international standard in the sciences (IUPAC). The American spelling is nonetheless used by many American scientists. Davy, the element's discoverer, proposed both "alumium", and later "aluminum". The name "aluminium" was finally adopted to conform with the -ium ending of many elements.[3] Canada as U.S.
arse ass In vulgar senses "buttocks" ("anus"/"wretch"); unrelated sense "donkey" is ass in both. Both forms are found in Canada and Australia.
barmy balmy In sense "slightly insane", "crazy", "foolish",[4] which has limited currency in American English. Both forms originated in 19th century England from other senses: barmy meant "frothing [as of beer]"; balmy means "warm and soft [as of weather]".
behove behoove Canada has both. British form is more etymologically conservative (Old English behōfian → Middle English behove(n)).
bogeyman boogeyman [original research?] The spoken form bogeyman in the U.K. suggests bogeys, snot or dried nasal mucus, whereas the U.S. form boogeyman is reminiscent of 1970 disco dancing to the U.K. ear.
carburettor carburetor In the American pronunciation, the third syllable (et) is pronounced "ay". Canada as U.S.
charivari shivaree, charivari In the U.S., where both terms are mainly regional,[5] charivari is however pronounced usually as shivaree, which is also found in Canada and Cornwall,[6] and is a corruption of the French word.
coupé coupe for a 2-door car; the horse-drawn carriage is coupé in both; unrelated "cup"/"bowl" is always coupe. In the U.S., the E is accented when used as a foreign word.
eyrie aerie Rhyme with weary and hairy respectively. Both spellings and pronunciations occur in the U.S.
fillet fillet, filet Meat or fish. Pronounced the French way in the U.S. even if the word is spelled fillet. Canada as U.S.
furore furor Furore is a late 18th-century Italian loan that replaced the Latinate form in the UK in the following century,[7] and is usually pronounced with a voiced e. Canada as U.S. Australia has both.
haulier hauler Haulage contractor; haulier is the older spelling.[8] In Canada, hauler prevails.
moustache mustache In the U.S., according to the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary and the American Heritage Dictionary, the British spelling is an also-ran, but the second-syllable stress pronunciation is a common variant.
mum(my) mom(my) Mother. Mom is sporadically regionally found in the UK (West Midlands English); some British dialects have mam,[9] and this is often used in Irish and Welsh English. In the U.S. region of New England, especially in the case of the Boston accent, the British pronunciation of mum is often retained, while it is still spelt mom. Canada has mom and mum; in Australia, mum is the word.
pernickety persnickety Persnickety is a late 19th-century North American alteration of the Scottish word pernickety.[10]
quin quint Abbreviations of quintuplet.
scallywag scalawag In the U.S. (where the word originated, as scalawag) scallywag is not unknown.
snigger snicker According to major dictionaries, both forms can occur in both dialects, although snigger can cause offense in the U.S. due to the similarity to nigger. In Canada snigger can have malicious connotations; in Australia snigger prevails, as in the UK.[11]
speciality specialty In British English the standard usage is speciality, but specialty occurs in the field of medicine,[12] and also as a legal term for a contract under seal. In Canada, specialty prevails; in Australia both are current.[13]
titbit tidbit Canada as U.S.

Clipwip, first of all, what difference does it make if you get the spelling slightly wrong? If you understood what he typed, why did you complain?

Secondly, it is well known, that americans can't spell, not that it matters unless the misspelling turns the sentence to mean something else.

Also spelled humour in Canada, where we learn both spellings for all words which have been bastardized by American arrogance and laziness. We are told to use either spelling, so as to neither anger our powerful yet literally challenged neighbors, nor be estranged from the rest of the planet. :D

And most pedantic,

That is what makes it so funny!!!

Seriously, though: I do love Icke's humor as well. And here is my absolute favorite bit:

And, it's amazing, you know, people talk about prophecy; well, here's a confimation that prophecy is absolutely fact and not some myth. On an ancient hillside...well, not an ancient hillside, but a hillside with an ancient depiction of something on it in Devon, in England, here's an incredible prophecy of thousands of years later, the arrival on Earth of Bill Clinton:
