Icke's Anti-Semitic Reptilians

Reptilian humanoids are a common motif in mythology, folklore, science fiction, fantasy, conspiracy theories, and the pseudosciences of cryptozoology and ufology. Depending on context they are known by many names, including Snakepeople, Reptoids, Dinosauroids, Lizardfolk, Lizard People, or Lizardmen.

Reptilian humanoids of varying depictions have been common in the myths and legends of many cultures throughout history.

According to noted anti-Semite and Holocaust-denying neo-Nazi David Icke, 7-foot (2.1 m) tall, blood-drinking, shape-shifting reptilian humanoids from the star system Alpha Draconis are the force behind a worldwide conspiracy directed at humanity. He claims that the reptilians maintain their control through the generation of fear and negative emotion, which is food to these entities, by manufacturing conflicts, primarily wars. He contends that most of the world's leaders are in fact related to these reptilians.

Icke's theories have been attacked as anti-Semitic because his views of a reptilian takeover amid references to international bankers have echoes of conspiracy theories involving Jews.

He also says that what he calls the "white race" is most susceptible to reptilian influence, particularly white people with blue eyes.

Icke's statements that a cabal of Jewish bankers planned the Holocaust and financed Hitler's rise to power are regarded as anti-Semitic by Jewish groups and others. Icke has cited white supremacist, neo-Nazi and other far-right publications in his books.

Icke's last book, The Robot's Rebellion, for instance, is peppered with references to the "illuminati", an occult elite said to have originated in Bavaria in 1776, which both Icke and militia leaders believe is at the root of the Global Government conspiracy they have dubbed the "New World Order".

According to Icke, this order - which he also calls the "Brotherhood" - has the ability to plant microchips in people's brains so as to spread black propaganda against those, like Icke, who challenge its power.

Significantly, about the only thing Timothy McVeigh, the former Gulf War veteran accused of planting the Oklahoma bomb, has so far told his police jailers - apart from his name, army rank and number - is that he has a "bio-chip" implanted in his backside.

The implication is not lost on Icke, who has been arguing in his lectures that the Oklahoma bomb is part of a "mind control" plot by the FBI to increase the grip of the New World Order by producing a backlash against those who seek to expose the "illuminati".

It is all nonsense, of course. But it raises interesting questions, not least about the links between Icke and the more sinister forces operating within the New Age movement.
