A dense tome, it comes in at around 600 pages. I have read some of Ike’s work before, but this was the most detailed and information rich of his works.
What is this one about? As you might expect, it plots the entire nature of David Ike’s global conspiracy. In essence, as outlandish as this may sound, it centers on reptilian entities from another dimension who utilize the holographic nature of reality to prey on the human race and keep them enslaved. Towards this end, they enlist certain bloodlines who are the so-called “reptilian hybrids”. These people have the DNA to appear as both reptilian or human. This, along with other writings, is what led to David Ike being labeled a madman, and generally ostracised, even by the modern conspiracy movement.
I would consider myself a skeptical person, a student of science, and a logical thinker. This book made me think. Say what you will about David Ike, his books are well written. He has a distinctive down to earth manner, full of little British colloquialisms and a powerful humor that shines through. Despite the dark subject matter, I would not call this a negative book, it shines with positivity.
Now, it took me a long time to get through this, because I often stopped to research. This is really the course of the book, after the conspiracy it introduced, Icke hammers down with relentless names, information, book quotations, pop-culture, and personal anecdotes. He pulls a bewildering amount of information from endless sources. As I tried to keep up with all of this and do a little cross-checking, I realised the absurd amount of information David Icke is really working with here. Again, whatever your opinion, you simply have to give this man credit for the prolific amount of words he is able to put to paper, and his ability to sort through mountains of resources.
As I researched, I found that some of it was a little misconstrued, some of this information downright wrong at times. I was not surprised by this, these are not all diamonds, he certainly makes some errors in judgement. However, I was far more shocked by the amount of information that was true, or that led to even deeper rabbit holes. Like Alice tumbling down, it seems like you are going to go down the rabbit hole forever, maybe never hit bottom. In many of these cases, David Icke is on to something.
This book came out in 2007, many of the situations he discusses are now well known. A large portion of some chapters concerns a 9/11 conspiracy, which is still debated in 2024. The power of the intelligence agencies has only become more of a threat as time passes.
The most powerful point Icke makes in this work is that you should not be afraid to question. Stand up to authority, and you do not just have to play along to the piper's call of society. I have endless respect for the man for that. In my own experience in the military, I found out first hand the horrors that come when people put on a uniform and lose track of themselves, becoming someone else as they are absorbed by the power of the organization. If I didn’t have an inner core to stand up for, I too would have fallen and lost my soul. David Icke is so correct when he says that your own inner voice is the most important thing.
My main question that still remains after finishing the book (and there are many) is this: Reptilians? Really?
Everything else in the book honestly seems quite cogent. I would say there are few conspiracies here that are not worth looking at. The Clinton body count, 9-11, child abuse rings, intelligence agency corruption, the deep state in government, the globalists, the secret elites, etc. According to Icke, underneath all of this lies reptilian shape shifting beings? And this isn’t a metaphor, it is a true fact according to him.
Part of me wants to think this is a genius move on his part, he puts something so outlandish here, that it allows his books to continue being published. If it was not for the reptilian angle, I find it hard to believe he would not be put in prison. Now he just gets away with being called a “crazy person”. It seems to me though, that he genuinely believes this. It’s certainly a mind-bending work, not for the faint of heart.
I know one thing, ever since I was a small child I have known something is wrong with this world, that something just isn’t right. I also don’t believe David Icke has all the answers, but he is on the right track, and his style of thinking is powerful, his questioning nature. I also respect his philosophy of non-violence. He makes it very clear near the end of the book that he is not calling for more violence, though he is calling for change. The change cannot come from continuing in the bog standard, or ignoring your intuition, the change has to come from within yourself. I also believe this, and have had many experiences that show this to be true.
Finally, many others will be put off by his treatment of organized religion. While not atheistic by any sense of the word, he has strong statements for Christians, Jews and Muslims alike. Those who adhere to the dogma of religion will find David Icke’s a tough philosophy. However, he is correct again. Truly, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself. I don’t know how Icke came upon the information in this overwhelming book, but he certainly understands the spiritual nature of this reality. I have had many experiences that confirmed this again and again, there is no such thing as the individual, the ego is simply an illusion.
Say what you will about him, but it’s not so simple as dismissing him as crazy, as comforting as that may be. The truth, it seems, is so much stranger.
