If you care about humanity's betterment read this book, 3 May 1999
By A Customer
I have just finished reading David Icke's book The Biggest Secret. Oh! What a book!. If only a tiny part of this book is true then we the human race has been stumbling around this planet with our eyes closed for centuries or longer and worse still, few people seem to realize it. Mr Icke's information is unrelentless. The sheer volume of information that is presented in this book overwhelmed me. From time to time I had to put the book down to catch my breath. I don't know where Mr Icke gets his information but it appears to hang together. Mr Icke is unusual in that he is clearly outraged at how human beings have been consistently and negatively influenced and by how we still permit the same today. I like knowing he is outraged. A few times throughout the book I too felt outraged. Unlike most of us he feels outraged enough to do something about the world situation as he sees it. He gives names, places, dates, characteristics and trends throughout this book. I am not in a position to comment on the factual accuracy of Mr Icke's information but again, if it is only partly true, we the human species, are and have been pretty stupid. Unusually, there is a warning in the front of the book. If you have a problem with your current belief system being challenged then you are not ready for this book. If, like me, you feel that humanity has allowed their best characteristics to be consistently under-emphasised by teachers, governments, religion, Hollywood, books, television then this book might be for you. Mr Icke provides information about how great effort has been expended in creating an illusion where we feel free when in fact we are not at all free. He also provides great detail about the part played by secret societies like the Freemasons and how their octopus-like strangleholds around the world deliberately keeping humanity from achieving a better way of life. At various times throughout the book Mr Icke takes time to point out that his greatest criticisms are directed at the people at the higher levels of the institutions and government in which we all place our trust (give away our power to) instead of the masses of people. He managed to convey to me the degree to which the ordinary man in the street is held in disdain by governments etc. In the final chapter he provides details on how we can break the spell as he calls it and take back our power. For me a very worthwhile read. Before dismissing this book as poppycock be aware of a saying (by Neale Donald Walsh, I believe) that you might like to bear in mind.It is "You cannot know the Truth unless you stop telling yourself that you already know the Truth."
