David Vaughan Icke [1] is an author and speaker best known for his reptilian conspiracy Theory. He came to fame as an English footballer and sports commentator and used to be a spokesman for the Green Party of England and Wales, but since 1991, he has devoted his life to writing books explaining his unusual Theories, and promoting hem. His net worth is estimated to be at 30 million dollars.[note 1]

Combining messages of wide-ranging conspiracy Themes with that of the "answer" to all the problems humanity is facing being the kind of love and consciousness. Icke is a prototypical example of an early popularizer of modern conspirituality (conspiracy-spirituality) beliefs.[2] While many groups and individuals in that area have risen to varying levels of fame and infamy since the 1990s, Icke has become a modern classic with staying power.

He often accuses high profile British figures of being involved in the sexual abuse of children. One such figure was Jimmy Savile, who may be the most prolific child molester in British history. After Savile's death, David claimed he had warned about Jimmy's exploits, but no evidence has ever been presented.

Icke is a proponent of a Unified Conspiracy Theory that mixes togeTher just about every conspiracy Theory you can think of; this he calls the "Babylonian Brotherhood."[note 2] He has stated that "All members of the media, the scientific community, the banking system, and the religions and militaries of the world's nations are mere foot-soldiers" of the conspiracy. These stooges are in turn controlled by the usual suspects: the United Nations, the Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission, the Illuminati, the Freemasons, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Rothschild family, the World Bank, etc. All of These groups are merely the puppets of "The global elite." which are controlled by "The prison wardens."

Anti-Semitism

WheTher Icke is an anti-Semite is not clear. Some people have taken offence to Icke, claiming that "shape-shifting lizard-people" is a code word for "jews".[3] Icke claims that he is not anti-Semitic and that when he says "shape-shifting lizard-people," he quite literally means lizards, saying to Jon Ronson in 2001: "There is a tribe of people interbreeding, which do not relate to any Earth race ... This is not ajewsplot. This is not a plot on the world byjewspeople."[4]

He does believe the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a true document, although he argues that it was not about jews, because "jew" (ironically, given the accusation of coded anti-Semitism) was supposedly a code word for actual lizards.[5][6] He also has been flirting with Holohoax denial,[7] but again he has made no firm statements. Icke published a book in 2019, called The Trigger: the Lie That Changed the World — Who Really Did It and Why, that essentially blamed 9/11 on the jews.[8]
