The Biggest Secret
Author: David Icke

This book should have been called The Biggest Pile of Crap because that’s mainly what it is.
Although he packs an enormous amount of details on history’s conspiracies, Icke’s tale is hurt
by his mediocre writing and his overinflated ego.
David Icke is SO positive about everything and what he is telling us in this book goes
far beyond the secrets in most of the other books. In mind-boggling detail of names, dates,
and who-said-what, we are shown a picture of history as one long manipulation of humanity by
forces of evil. Ok, I’m willing to look at outrageous ideas because sometimes they are true.
But Icke’s long-winded prose has failed to convince me that the human race has been manipulated
by shape-shifting reptilians! According to him, it didn’t much matter who won the 2000 American
election since both Al Gore and George W. Bush are shape-shifters. Bush comes from a long line
of reptilians, with his father a major Satanist and pedophile. Al Gore, we are told, likes to
drink the blood of sacrificial victims. What a choice!
While much of what Icke says is recognizable from other sources and I actually agree
with some of it, he just goes too far in seeing conspiracies everywhere. His idea that the
United States is “owned” by the Virginia Company which is controlled from London sounds like
sour grapes over who won the Revolutionary War. C’mon, David, you need more discipline in your
thinking and writing. If the founding fathers of the United States were all manipulated by the
evil Brotherhood, how come they produced such a great Declararation of Independence and a
wonderful Constitution based on citizen freedom? How could despotic shape-shifters write stuff
like “We hold these truth to be self-evident, that all men are created equal”? I’ll concede
most of the founding fathers were Freemasons and Jefferson was a slaveholder, but so what?
People are not perfect, but sometimes their deeds rise above their faults. President Clinton i
s a flawed human being, but he’s been a great president (but according to Icke, he’s
being manipulated by his reptilian wife, Hillary)!
I have less concern about the English Royal family, about whom Icke has lots to say.
The Windsors are the worst of the reptilian masters, with the Queen Mother leading the pack.
I guess, as an American, I have always wondered why the English put up with royalty anyhow.
Here in America, we have no kings and dukes and the like, but we do have powerful families.
Where Icke has put his finger on something is exposing the interlocking families who are the
most powerful people in the world, and these families’ bloodlines criss-cross national boundaries.
The royal families of Europe are all related and many of their progeny came to America.
Because a small number of rich and powerful people control the world’s finances, is this a
conspiracy, or just human nature?
As to the reptilians, the information about their origin (Mars?) and how they somehow
occupy human bodies is unclear. How is this shape-shifting accomplished? What exactly is
the “lower fourth dimension?” I don’t understand how Icke can dismiss the evidence for
extraterrestrial UFOs as “hallucination” but then believe everything said by so-called
“mind-controlled slaves.” Again, some of what he says about how “mind control” can be
accomplished may be true, but the testimony of these deprogrammed slaves is so outrageous
that I would certainly want a lot of corroboration before I would give it any credibility
at all. Of course people who have experienced something that doesn’t fit the current model
of reality always have a problem being believed. But why can one phenomenon be labeled
hallucination while another is accepted? Icke claims the testimony from various sources
is consistent, but proponents of other conspiracies will tell you the same thing.
Writers in this genre usually say their evidence is overwhelming, internally consistent,
and corroborated by other sources. Who do you believe?
Icke has probably offended a lot of would-be believers by his assertion that Jesus
never actually existed, but was invented by some Romans. In Icke’s view of the world, all
Christians have been had.
What David Icke should have done with the material in this book is work with someone who
knows how to write and edit and spend more time creating a book about half as long as this.
He should have concentrated on the main points and developed his evidence in a logical fashion.
He complains that he has been ridiculed, but he brings it on himself by running off in too
many directions. However, the book is interesting and whatever else you can say about
David Icke, he is an original. He manages to offend just about everyone, including all the
other conspiracy writers. The Biggest Secret is an entertaining adventure through paranoia.
