Narinder wrote:David Icke: Was He Right? (Documentary)
In the 1990s, David Icke appeared on chat shows across the country claiming that he was the son of the Godhead and delivering a message about the dark times that lay ahead. In particular, he claimed that from the turn of the Millennium until 2012, we would see chaos establish itself across the globe as war, economic collapse and terror took hold. Much derived at the time, Icke now has a global following who believe that his prophecies have come true. This documentary asks whether Icke was right.
Not to be missed!
Don't worry, I'll be recording it!
Yo, Muti, good to see you still about.
Since the demise of Christianity in the west, people look for 'figureheads'. We used to have a Queen and Royal Family that we could look up to, but that whole concept has dramatically dropped away in the last three decades, compounded by scandal and death. Technology hasn't helped either, the mystique that surrounded The Royals has been encroached upon and we see them for what they really are, just a bunch of herberts with the same problems as everyone else (except money of course).
As for Icke, there are as many people who consider him clinically insane as a literal God figure. I admire him for the research (assuming it is him that does it,) and the dedication it takes to sit and churn out book after book - but I get the impression, he is the modern day Eric Von Daniken, he saw a niche and capitalized upon it. People like ‘weird’, people also like to believe there has to be more to everything than meets the eye. Icke is like a baker meeting the need for doughnuts.
As for his claim about
‘that from the turn of the Millennium until 2012, we would see chaos establish itself across the globe as war, economic collapse and terror’ – well, has there ever been a period when this hasn’t been the case? We’ve had global wars for centuries, all kinds of economic slumps, terrorism (IRA bombs in London), in fact can you name a period when the planet has experienced a period devoid of those things Icke claims will happen? You don’t need to be a genius to claim any of that stuff – challenge him in 2010 and of course he will be able to cite examples of his ‘prediction’.
Of course Icke was right – given the way the world is, he couldn’t be wrong.
