David Icke is a Bag of Crazy

Are you familar with David Icke? He's a nutty little conspiracy theorist that believes Jews, Masons and Reptiles are secretly controlling the world. And we live in the Matrix. And 9/11 was an inside job. And Kris Kristofferson is a member of the Illuminati. And NASA faked the moon landings. And the Reptilian overloads are implanting thought controlling microchips into our brains. And so on...

Sometimes I visit his site and take a peak at the Discussion Forum. Here one can see the latest paranoid conspiracy theories that have been cooked up in the basements of unemployed anti-Semites around the world. I'm not sure why I do this. Sometimes it's good for a laugh. Other times it can be rather depressing to watch such an unrestrained glorification of credulity.

Today I learned:
Vikings are from Atlantis
Anne Frank's Diary was forged by Zionist conspirators
9/11 was caused by Advanced "Free Energy" and "Weather Control" Technology

Oh man. David Icke and his followers are so crazy they almost make Scientology look rational.

Just checked out his site, I was expecting crazy stuff but this is really nutso crazy. I am not making this up, in one of his articles me mentions that Alan Greenspan is a member of the Illuminati and a Satanist who attend ritual sacrifices, along with the Bushes and Rockefellers. I can't imagine anyone taking this dude seriously.

It's hard to believe, but he used to be a famous football player and Green Party candidate in the UK. Icke has made a fortune selling books/doing lectures about this stuff which he just makes up!

If you ever want to get rich, I can't think of an easier way to do so. All it involves is no reasearch, no ability to make a cohesive argument, no connection to reality, just a large audience of suckers waiting to lap up the mental drool of an over-active imagination.
