MENAGE A TROIS GIVEN UP ON LOVE
things happen. You go under and you disappear and withdraw, or you come out with the steel honed in the fire.”
But he does admit that he underwent a breakdown of sorts in the wake of the Wogan interview.
“I went through a phenomenal experience in 1991 when basically the top of my head blew off. For three months if you asked me what planet I was on, I’d have to have checked. So that three months was crazy and I really don’t remember too much about it now.”
One particular subject, however, provokes his ire: the turquoise shellsuits he once wore because he thought that colour had a special aura. Does he still wear them?
“No, no, no, no, no!” he explodes. “This is the thing you see. Constantly, when I speak to the [British] mainstream media, they start talking in a time warp. I thought it was 2018. Why are you in 1991?” Other countries don’t still see him in a time warp, he sighs. “Last time I spoke in Belgrade I was on their two main breakfast shows. One of the interviews was 25 minutes live, asking me serious questions about the geopolitical landscape and how it all worked.
“I am saying a lot of things that a lot of people in power, at least in this country and America, don’t want people to know about. Obviously it’s in their interest to keep STAR: As a goalkeeper for Hereford in 1973 and, above left, as a host in 1983 on Saturday Superstore me in a realm of dismissiveness and ridicule. There comes a point when David Icke’s mad. He’s weird. He’s funny. Just doesn’t [cut it]. I mean, oh no, how original, know what I mean? It doesn’t work any more.”
Does he feel vindicated because he is so successful now with his talks and books? “Oh, completely vindicated. But it’s not vindication I want. The whole point of what I do is to alert people to what is happening and what’s planned to happen so we head it off.” So what is happening then in David Icke’s world vision?
Some of his beliefs are ostensibly conventional: a hatred of the European Union, for example. “How can you think it’s a good thing for Europe to be centrally controlled by a bureaucratic dictatorship?” he asks.
HE also believes that a one per cent minority of the rich and powerful in the world control the poorer vast majority. “A tiny few, a global network is controlling world events, are controlling the finances. We’re seeing more and more people falling off the ladder, being homeless, or losing their jobs, sleeping in the streets.”
Again – perhaps not the first person to say that. Other views he espouses are jaw-droppingly bizarre but he claims all of them are backed up by actual scientific research.
His belief that a hybrid shapeshifting reptilian/human master race – which included the Queen Mother and Edward Heath – control us all is well documented.
But he also believes that humans are in danger of being controlled and literally merged one day with artificial intelligence. “Now already they’re going inside the body with microchips, which is the end goal of all this, the whole AI control of the human mind.”
Not that what we take to be physical reality exists anyway, he says. “The world that we’re experiencing now, you there, me here, is nothing like what we’re actually experiencing. Wherever you are, what you see around you, it only exists here in your head. Complete illusion. There is no physical.”
Does he ever look back on when life was much simpler as a footballer then a respected sports broadcaster?
“No, you see, if I’d have carried on I wouldn’t have done what I’ve done now. I wouldn’t change a thing about my life, not a thing.”
