History Creator / DavidIcke

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: He claims in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkiclMWy3Ns/ in this video about Swine Flu vaccine]] that humans already have a really strong immune system, which is true on its own, but he says the vaccines stop it from developing if applied to children under the age of 2. Please don't look at the comments, they are full of ignorance.

He also has made numerous [=DVDs=] and hundreds of hours of radio programming. His personal website can be found [[http://www.davidicke.com/ here]], but be ye warned - here there be [[strike:dragons]] Reptilians.

* ConspiracyTheorist: One of the more famous conspiracy theories in RealLife, notably for his views on {{reptilian|Conspiracy}}s.

Though David Icke is all but ignored by the mainstream, his theories have inspired many cult film and comic hits. ComicBook/TheInvisibles retains much of Icke's cosmology and terminology, and Film/TheMatrix shows some clear influences from both (Icke published a book named ''Children of the Matrix'' after it came out to capitalize). ComicBook/UltimateMarvel's version of the Skrulls, the Chitauri, are taken from Icke's theories. Though theories about AncientAstronauts go back as far as [[OlderThanTheyThink 4000BC in the Rig Veda]], Icke has revitalized the genre. References to his works are pervasive on conspiracy and [=UFO=] forums. [[http://www.metahistory.org/ MetaHistory.org]] raises it almost to the level of religion, weaving Ickian (Icky?) cosmology with ancient Christian UsefulNotes/{{Gnosticism}}. More recently, he has been on ''This Morning'' and ''London Live'', [[WhatWereYouThinking landing both in deep shit with Ofcom]] since he spread misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic that had resulted in arson attacks on communication infrastructure.

* SpaceJews: It's... complicated. Icke's critics have accused the Reptilians of being a code for Jews, especially given how he accuses them of maneuvering into positions of power in much the way anti-semites have long done. Many of Icke's followers believe this and are thus allied with some ''very'' [[ThoseWackyNazis unsavoury groups]], many of which have reviewed Icke's works favourably, which has also landed Icke and his beliefs in hot water with civil rights groups[[note]]This can be seen in one episode of the documentary series ''Secret Rulers of the World'', made by Jon Ronson of ''Film/TheMenWhoStareAtGoats'' fame, who joined an anti-Icke protest group who was convinced he was really an anti-semite and whose actions only served to [[StreisandEffect raise awareness]] of Icke's ideology [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity among genuine anti-semites]][[/note]]. Icke himself has had to clarify that no, when he says "interdimensional lizards", he doesn't mean Jews, he means [[CloudCuckoolander literal interdimensional lizards]], and was reportedly genuinely baffled that anyone could think otherwise. Then again, Icke ''does'' believe that ''Literature/TheProtocolsOfTheEldersOfZion'' is a genuine document, but that when it refers to Jews, it ''really'' means space lizards, which [[NotHelpingYourCase doesn't help his case]].
** On the other hand, he has claimed/implied about UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust: that the Jews(/"interdimensional lizards"?) funded it; that maybe it didn't happen; that far-right groups are really fronts for Jews; and, that "alternative views" (read: Holocaust denial) should be taught in schools, as they are currently supressed while ''Film/SchindlersList'' is distributed for free.
