What Made You Interested In David Icke?

When I first read 'Alice in Wonderland', and the way Icke allowed cathy o'brien to have a voice in those books. Does anyone actually believe her, me I'm in a 50/50 mode but I do admire her guts.

[strider]

I started reading his books when someone told me he went mad, thought we might have something in common :D

Truth vibrations was the first one I read, and if I remember rightly, it was still a really good book all that time ago..

Back in 1999, a friend and I was at the Borders bookstore, where I like to check out the metaphysiacl section. I was trying to find some good books on UFOs because of prior personal abductions, which had left me clueless and frightened. His book Children of the Matrix popped out at me, called me.
I have since put together the incomplete puzzle of myself and read all of his other books. Also, his writing style appealed to me, very direct and FEARLESS!!

[stickylolly]

looking for stuff about 9/11 .... found icke on Google video .. the rest is history ....

[sidewinder]

I was given a copy of 'Infinite Love' two years ago.

[auron]

After coming across some artice he wrote a couple of years ago. Then i sought out his books. :)

[who elsie]

I read ‘ The Biggest Secret’ a few years ago with a certain degree of scepticism and reluctance (I finally gave in to curiosity after being strangely drawn to it every time I visited a certain book store) but I can honestly say that no book has ever had such an impression on me.

I came to Icke's work via the world of ‘Ufology’ and related areas of research, which I had immersed myself in after seeing a UFO in 1997. This area of research opened up my world-view immensely, but after about 6/7 years the arguments just seemed to be going round in circles. I always felt that there was more, much more to know. So, how fantastic it was when I read The Biggest Secret and found that Icke merged so many of my thoughts/questions into one and, what’s more, added the complete background to it all! What a revelation!

Amazon.com: The Unseen Hand: An Introduction to the Conspiratorial View of History (9780961413507): A. Ralph Epperson: Books@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41zMSKt%2Bc2L.@@AMEPARAM@@41zMSKt%2Bc2L

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This carefully researched and documented book of nearly 500 pages is a must reading for those who wish to know why the major events of the past have happened.

The back cover of The Unseen Hand, gives a summary of its contents.

“It is the contention of the author that the major events of the past, the wars, the depressions and the revolutions, have been planned years in advance by an international conspiracy. This view is called The Conspiratorial View of History, and it is definitely not the view held by the majority of historians today. The more traditional view is called The Accidental View of History, and it holds that no one really knows why events happen—they just do.”

“It is the hope of the author that those who read this book will discover that the Conspiratorial View of History is the one best supported by the evidence.”

-----------

The author of this book, Ralph Epperson, promises to introduce the reader to the fundamentals of the conspiratorial view of history. This view of history is in direct contradiction to the accidental view of history, or the theory of history accepted by most historians today. The conspiratorial view of history posits that all historical events are either controlled or directed by individuals or small groups of powerful people. Accidental history has no controls; events happen because they do, and no amount of effort may successfully direct events.

Epperson supports the conspiratorial view of history, and he tries to prove this theory in "The Unseen Hand," a 488 page collection of secret societies, economic totalitarianism, and communist plots. According to Epperson, the overarching theme of conspiratorial history is that of power. When the rich amass enough money, they begin to thirst for power over their fellow human beings. Since most people want to have a say in the way their lives are run, these power hungry individuals must try to enact their plans in secret by using their influence and wealth to effect change that favors the interests of the rich and powerful.

The book is roughly chronological. It starts with early events in history and slowly marches through time until it reaches the 1980's. According to Epperson, the conspiracy began with the formation of the Illuminati on May 1, 1776. The Illuminati, founded by a Bavarian professor named Adam Weishaupt, dedicated itself to overthrowing the old world order of monarchy by adopting ideals of reason. Mankind, through reason, would come to reject religion and nationalism and found a collectivistic society. Epperson quickly draws links between the Illuminati and later movements such as Marxism and the socialist Fabians.

Another aspect of this conspiracy, in close collaboration with the Illuminati and its later incarnations, is that of international banking. The bankers quickly moved to institute central banks in Europe in order to control the population through the manufacture of fiat money (money backed by debt, not gold or silver) and the creation of inflation. The American revolutionary war and the American civil war were attempts by the bankers to weaken the country and institute a central banking system, a goal finally achieved at Jekyll Island in 1913.

No conspiracy book would be complete without a discussion of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the Freemasons, and the Bilderberg group. All four groups are discussed in some depth here. Epperson takes great pains to point out that most of the upper hierarchy in American government are members of these four groups. The goal of these groups, which are funded by foundations set up by banking and oil interests, is to create a "new world order," or a global socialist/communist government ruled by a small oligarchy of wealthy individuals.

This book works best when discussing the creation and role of government in a society, as well as the role of central banks and the control of the money interests. Epperson gives succinct explanations of how government and banking work, and how both can cause serious trouble if not properly regulated. It is ridiculous to believe that people in charge of so much money don't know the causes of inflation, or why prices of oil fluctuate as much as they do. Yet on any given day we are constantly informed by policy makers and other elites that they are as confused about why things happen as we are.

i read whilst at post grad uni, 2002.

What Made You Interested In David Icke?

First knew of him as one of the faces on the telly reading sports results. When he came on Wogan what interested me was not what he said as much as the way he was treated. I figured, if he had had either a revelation of some sort or even a breakdown, it probably seemed natural to him to turn to his colleagues - peers - both for sharing as well as support. The media sure is a ruthless industry. They say 'your enemies stab you in the back, but your friends stab you in the front' but I can imagine it was a let-down to be given to the lynch mob by people he probably trusted. Surely a chat beforehand could have shown if he was vulnerable or in a state to assess the situation and the consequences.

After that it's still been more of a concern about how he'd cope and less about his 'message', to me. I'm interested in people doing well in their lives and not so much in what exactly is going through their minds at any given time. The latter is subject to change as we move through life and it's an individual thing, what we end up seeing as our understanding from our subjective point of view.

My interest in David Icke was that he seemed to have some kind of 'they are wrong about me, and they are probably wrong about everything else - I'll find out' -vibe to him, and he dug and kept talking. Good on him. I like people who don't just settle for any old answers given, but test them for themselves.
We're all given a voice and a brain for a reason.

[raffles]

I listened to a couple of interviews on the jeff rense show around 2000/2001.
I was very impressed by what he had to say.

[don azzaro]

The first I heard of David and his work was a program on some obscure cable channel. I remember watching some programme on 'top conspiracy theories' and David appeared chatting about how Liz and Phil the Greek et al were all shapeshifting reptiles.

I was also going through a very dark period at the time, and had had a word with whatever guiding force was listening to the effect of "I've had enough and I want to go home. Show me how or I'm going to take care of it myself."

Having spent my whole life thinking something was wrong but never quite being able to put my finger on exactly what, David's work fell into my lap when I was at my most desperate. Despite how how bizzare his words seemed to conventional thinking it resonated with me and made a great deal of sense.

It makes me chuckle now that I was so wrapped up such irrelevant bullshit.

[zoloko]

I LOVE YOU!

Have to give credit to my daughter! Bringing it all back!!!!:)


THANK YOU!

[starchildtesla]

I knew who he was after watching him on history channel conspiracies ,the show made him look crazy without explainging his theory.

Later on when researching UFO after seeing one,i heard him on you tube and was ABSOULTUOTLY AMMAZED<his thoughts on other things and Spritiuallity were exactly the same ,
Then i realised that the Wholel lizard theory is Extra dimensional which makes it beleivable.

[freedomnonfighter]

Well, I grew up watching things about the JFK assassination and UFOs, and have had some "paranormal" experiences throughout my life... so I was aware of the "other" side to things already.

But when 9/11 happened, my IMMEDIATE thought was "That was too easy- how could that have happened so easily?" I was in 9th grade when it happened. A few months later I told my Dad I thought the government did it, but I had no evidence or anything of this, just pure intuition/speculation. About 2 years later I saw "9/11 In Plane Site" and realized it was all BS.

About a year and a half ago, or two, was when I really started with my awakening. I knew our culture and society were all BS, and I knew there was a conspiracy, and I had just recently learned (through experience of psychedelics and a Near-Death experience) of the nature of reality. So during that frenzied period I was scrounging for answers to the infinitude of questions that were arising within me literally every second of every day. While in the Metaphysical section in the book store I saw like 6 books, all of a rather fair size, by this fellow David Icke. I looked at Alice in Wonderland and the WTC Disaster, and I flipped through it, and I thought wow... there's a shitload more to 9/11 than I even thought. So I picked it up, looked at the price tag ("oh crap? $30?!?! eh whatever!") and well 'the rest is history' :)

[tejas]

Wondered why religion almost seem 'fixed' to make people discriminate etc.

Figured something must be up, this had to be intentional.

2 Years of research into religion and how it has been used to manipulate people.

Realised the extra-dimensional side of things.

Randomly read Ickes work on both religion (mithra, babylon etc) and extra dimensional stuff.

Infinite love is the only truth - first book.

[STARWALKER]

Saw a hit piece on him on swedish telly in the fall of -97.
Had never heard of him before.
But, for some reason I just knew I had to buy his books. I
was on a mission...

The first one was I am me I am free! And I went on from
there. Reading them was like a continious deja-vu.
In fact, now I understand that I had been waiting for this
all my life!

There is no way I can ever thank you enough David, in so
many ways you saved my poor, sorry but... And soul!
Thank you!

[binhdinh_khiwarrior]

Everything he has written about has happened to me personally, he's the only one to tie everything that has happened to me together-and so damn well too!

Jeff Rense Show

David Icke will not be appearing as scheduled on the Jeff Rense Show across the United States this evening after being taken ill last night. We'll let you know when the date is rearranged.

[megafish33]

I was on a forum that dealt with business, politics, and investments. Someone mentioned "..And The Truth Shall Set You Free," saying that it was probably inaccurate but still a good read. So I read it, and all the other previous books. He was on to something but I didn't know what. Then I read Biggest Secret and Infinite Love.
