 Beware: Child-sacrificing, blood-drinking, shape-shifting rulers are among us.

World domination by a mysterious species with reptilian DNA is on the horizon. The Nazis were disciples of black magic and the Holocaust was a Jewish concoction. The Mormon church is actually the centre of operations for global satanic activities. World leaders regularly participate in blood-drinking and human sacrifice rituals.
This is the world according to 50-year-old David Icke, a former professional soccer player and BBC sports announcer from Leceister, England who presented a seminar entitled "Children of the Matrix" at l'Université du Québec à Montréal last Saturday, October 26. Over 700 people, from as far away as Alberta and Florida, gathered to hear him speak.
Having just published his 10th book, Alice in Wonderland and the World Trade Centre Disaster, in which he dismisses the general populace's perception of September 11 as a "monumental lie," Icke has been billed as the world's most controversial speaker. His work focuses mainly on proving his charge of psychological fascism in today's society, an assertion he supports with intricate webs of theories.
"To control the world, all you have to do is control the norms people believe to be reality," he stresses.
Icke, often dubbed a New-Age floozie by British media, began his unconventional journey in 1990, after a psychic informed him that spiritual forces had christened him the chosen one who is to change the world, as he recounts in his online autobiography.
For a period, he wore nothing but turquoise clothing, claiming it was the dominant colour of the universe, and referred to himself as "the son of Godhead".
Reptilian Rulers
Perhaps his most controversial and well-known theory, which he describes as "the [world's] biggest secret," is that of the Illuminati, or the Illuminated Ones. Icke believes that the world is under the rule of this select few, with the rest of the population merely acting as ignorant bystanders.
By tracing bloodlines back to the 12th century Crusades in the Middle East, Icke believes that all political, economic and media power is held by this small group with select DNA. He uses the Windsor-Bush bloodline to demonstrate this idea, tracing it back to such historical figures as Ramses II, Cleopatra and Julius Caesar to present day leaders including Queen Elizabeth II, the famed Rockefeller family and US President George W. Bush. This particular bloodline, Icke contends, is linked to every royal family in Europe. Of the 43 American presidents to date, 34 of them can be traced back to King Charlemagne of France, a fact Icke finds alarming.
"Presidents are not elected by ballot," Icke declares on his website, "they are selected by blood."
The Illuminati Empire freely moves trillions of dollars around daily, believes Icke, as he nonchalantly dismisses theories of economic cycles. He argues that the Illuminati rule using trauma-based mind control.
"What they do to change society from what it is to what they want it to be is [by] creating events that cause chaos and disruption so that they can offer the solution to that [problem]. This results in a society created in their image," he explains.
Those in power aren't actually human beings, Icke believes. Rather, they are fourth-dimensional entities with reptilian DNA that move in and out of human history with the ability to "shape shift," that is, to take the form of prominent human beings in positions of power in order to orchestrate events to facilitate their objectives.
"[T]he extraterrestrials are not coming, they're not going to invade, they've actually been controlling this planet, increasingly, for thousands of years," maintains Icke.
Icke believes such entities need to consume human blood in order to maintain their human forms. In order to accommodate this need, dominant bloodline families perform rituals of human sacrifice. Icke claims to have exclusive evidence and has implicated several top US officials, past and present, in these ceremonies.
All conflict in the world is staged, used merely as a means for the Illuminati to accumulate energy through human fear, according to Icke. All the world is under one ruler, he states, and countries are merely pitted against each other to instil terror and generate energy. He charges the Holocaust as being Jew-initiated, the wars of Bosnia and Kosovo as being UN-sponsored and the Oklahoma City bombing as a design of the US government, claiming they all are part of the master plan.
From crop circles to stone formations, Free Mason temples to city-street configurations, the Statue of Liberty to the seal of the US Senate, Icke believes these are all symbols of a global fascist conspiracy. He also predicted an imminent World War III, where North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the United Nations' forces will unite and make up a world army that will carry out the agenda of the Illuminati.
The 9/11 Lie
Icke has done mass amounts of research on the September 11 attacks, arguing they were an Illuminati invention. At his lecture, he criticized the credibility of the US Federal Bureau of Investigations enquiry, condemning it as inconclusive. He pointed to inconsistencies in official statements, the unfeasible nature of the timeline produced documenting the hijackers' activities leading up to the crashes and the withholding of information by officials as indication that Osama Bin Laden is a scapegoat "created by the CIA [and] wanted by the FBI."
"Why are we being lied to at every turn? Because the official story is a bloody lie," he boomed at his lecture.
Referring to head of states Bush and Blair, Icke boldly declared, "These two are the terrorists, by every definition of the word. End of story," to which he received thunderous applause.
Advocating Change
Icke concluded his seven hour lecture on Saturday by imploring his audience to overthrow the global conspiracy through education of others and empowering themselves to stand up for what they believe in, without fear of ridicule or reprimand.
"We are not powerless entities that are just part of the manipulation… We are infinity and we can take control of our world. It's a choice, because we create our reality. This is a great time to be alive. We are the generation alive today that will bring this house of cards down," he said to a packed house, referring to the Illuminati conspiracy. "We can change this illusion to prison to an illusion of paradise."
Fans and critics
Rejean Beaudoin of Zama Productions, the promotion company for the seminar, is an advocate of Icke's theories.
"We are here because we don't want to live in a world like this. We are children of the matrix. We want to be free. We want to get out of Wonderland," he said in an address at the beginning of the seminar.
But Icke certainly has his share of detractors.
"He's off the wall," commented attendee Louise Orieux, a fourth-year Political Science student at UQAM. "I don't know how he gets away with saying those things, I'm surprised he hasn't been sued yet"
From relatively tame jests to outright slander, Icke kept his audience on their toes. He denounced the CNN as "the movie channel", he accused US Vice President Dick Cheney of raping women without their knowledge and former US President George Bush Sr. of violently abusing children. He unabashedly took stabs at social institutions and criticized political figures with reckless abandon.
Icke urged mass rebellion, and has himself been rumoured to meet with US militia groups as well as representatives of far-right movements.
Throughout his speech, he consistently referred to "insiders" and "sources" to support otherwise flimsy arguments without disclosing the details of his illusive sources, giving rise to doubt. Despite occasional suspicious reasoning and appeals to mysterious authorities, audiences seemed inspired by Icke's speech, having paid $69 for the seminar.
"He gives the entire big pictures," claims Montreal native Michael, who chose not to disclose his surname. The 23-year old compared today's society to that of George Orwell's 1984, where elite forces rule the world, and described the lecture as stimulating and Icke as a convincing speaker who brought all the pieces together.
In response to skeptics, Michael commented, "Who are they to judge? You can only judge if you've seen it for yourself. It's your life, it's your universe; but me, I want to be aware."
His friend Sebastien, a 24-year old who made the trek from Quebec City for the event, was equally impressed.
"I don't want to be in state of ignorance," he said. "[Icke is] giving us information, it's up to us what we want to do with it."
Icke, pleased by the support of a fervent crowd, ended the day with a positive message of empowerment.
"We are not ordinary people, we are infinite geniuses having an experience. We can think our paradise into creation," he declared.
Sure, now let's go annihilate some extra-terrestrial, blood-thirsty lizards, shall we?
