If you find it exciting to be shown different ways to view the world, this book is for you. If you don't, you still need to read this, because what you don't know can certainly harm you.
Yes, David Icke covers the Illuminati hybrid bloodlines, reptilians & ETs, mind control, satanic rituals, ancient civilisations, the global political and economic machinations, secret societies, the assault on our health and ability to use higher consciousness, and much more. He even exposes the man-made global warming con, and how the "boom or bust" economy is manipulated, and its purpose. Icke offers clear, concise overviews of the "new physics" and the nature of how vibratory reality is generated, with his use of the hologram and matrix metaphors. He expects a global awakening and in a small segment of the population this is apparently occurring: millions have now watched "The Obama Deception", "Zeitgeist" and "America: Freedom to Fascism", all available free via the internet, covering some of the areas Icke writes about.
Icke is the one "conspiracy researcher" who has developed a relatively advanced spiritual awareness from which he can provide a useful context and understanding of the material he has uncovered. This book overlaps much with his previous works, refining and updating his analysis of the many facets and details of the conspiratorial nature of civilisation, as well as his description of the physics and metaphysics underlying our reality. Icke doesn't really have anything new or groundbreaking here that goes beyond his previous books, yet this book puts things together pretty well and offers a lot of insights to help readers who are ready to deprogramme themselves from consensus reality.
But, even if you don't want to accept the far-out stuff, there's also plenty of believable detail, and a lot of what he has written about over the last two decades has started to come horribly true. So don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Icke gave up a successful career, has shouldered on for decades despite much opposition, and has repeatedly put his head above the parapet for very little thanks.
Yes, there is a split, but the controversy is as pathetic as the controversy about creationism vs darwinism - there's no real proof for either side so the arguments - on either side - are basically down to close-minded people who like to argue. Same as the arguments for and against Icke.... So - conspiracy theory? Dead right! YOU get to choose - you can be a conspiracy theorist or a coincidence theorist. Just which one is the bigger fool?
And what about "evidence" - just how would you expect Icke (or any other whistleblower) to provide evidence of conspiracies?! And what evidence would be "acceptable", anyway? And isn't it usually the same people demanding "evidence" in these cases as the ones who accept lots of other "facts" without question - the very ones who, for instance, accept germ theory without ever having seen a single germ for themselves and without any hard proof of Pasteur's claim that germs arise before the disease vs Bechamp's explanation that the disease gives rise to the germs yet Pasteur's theory has been swallowed wholesale by them!
In the end, even though Icke's information - and much else - is now widely available, we are simply not going to know the whole Truth in this reality - and, as Einstein apparently said: "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." HOWEVER, the information presented by David Icke does make sense of why so many bad things happen and continue to happen. How could you otherwise explain why education and medicine (to name just two subjects that affect every single one of us) are in the terrible state they are in? How CAN you explain why there are still so many wars and so much torture and nastiness even though the silent majority do NOT want any of this? So much, SO much, only makes sense if you accept at least some of the type of information provided by Icke and his like.
Simply dismissing the information presented here is a form of skepticism that does not allow the pursuit of truth, but rather furthers the ongoing and many proven lies of the establishment. Icke himself says, while he is still attacked by the mainstream media, more and more people are seeing the truth. He writes: "People are also waking up faster and faster in that they can go from the old perception to the new in weeks, even days. These are the Truth Vibrations at work and they are getting more powerful and influential by the hour."
P.S. Since this book, Icke has published "Human Race Get Off Your Knees" (2010) and "Remember Who You Are (2012).
