Kent and anyone else with an interest,
Trio is running a show called "Secret Rulers Of The World" I believe, which could be a series, but tonight it was all about David Icke. Kent, you're the only one here I believe that really follows this guy and I know you've also directed us to Alex Jones site, with regards to Bohemian Grove I believe. Now I just saw this show and I have some questions:
1. When they talk to Alex Jones about David Icke, he refers to Icke as "a con man" and on Icke's theories he says "they are like a turd in the punch bowl". Jones says he believes there are only a few ways to go on Mr. Icke, that he's completely nuts, that he's working for those behind the global "New World Order" conspiracy to discredit guys like Jones, or he's a con man who knows what he's doing and is just trying to make a buck. For the record Jones states he believes most in the last idea. I wondered what you thought about this and who's take on things you prefer, Jones or Icke.
From my perspective I'd say Jones seems like the guy out to make a buck. He seems like a complete moron who's main intent would be to get people to buy his stuff over Icke. Jones does come across as all about the money, and on a more bizarre note sounds and looks a lot like a thinner, younger, Rush Limbaugh. Now that's weird.
2. One of the main points of the documentary is that a lot of people think that Icke's talk of 12 foot shape shifting lizards is really a code for Jews. Meaning each time he mentions the lizards he really means the Jews. What's your take on this, Kent? They pretty much leave a question hanging in the air about the Holocaust, basically implying that Icke doesn't believe it happened but they never directly ask him that question. I'm curious if you know his take on the Holocaust and wondered what you thought about it.
The last thing I want to say about this show about Mr. Icke is it left me sort of depressed. He's a sad, fairly tragic figure. He seems to be a decent, kind, friendly, and well meaning character but it does appear that he is quite deeply disturbed and at times during this show he seems to demonstrate the signs of severe depression. I would make a guess that he suffers from manic depression as well as being afflicted by some other sort of mania. What made me sad watching it is it appears that people have taken full advantage of his condition and are trotting him out like a dog and pony show. The media seems to use him for laughs and no one demonstrates any sort of distress over the fact that this man is in desperate need of some help. It was heartbreaking to some extent to see him backstage at one of his events singing along to what appears to be his theme song. He was like a child. It seemed odd that even the guy filming this documentary about Icke, was sort of having a laugh about the situation, no so much at Icke, but at the even more pathetic crew of protesters that hound him.
For the record I don't think Icke is an antiSemite. I also don't think he's the con man that Jones thinks he is. I think he's a guy that's had a severe breakdown that needs help but is being used to make a buck. The media thinks he's a toy and his handlers (who are they anyway?) think he's a cash cow. His fans seem to feed his mania and that's also sad. I really found it disturbing to see the guy being taken advantage of. Any thoughts on this stuff Kent? I am serious here, I'm not just trying to give you a hard time. Seeing Icke tonight was disturbing to me, but not for the reasons you may have thought. I really didn't expect to be disturbed by him this way.
