Icke tells anti-mask rally measures are ‘real fascism’
ANTISEMITIC CONSPIRACY theorist David Icke was cheered loudly after calling for “a Nuremberg-type trial for crimes against humanity” of an alleged “global” collective of “psychopaths”, which he claims is behind the attempt to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic.
Speaking at a rally in London’s Trafalgar Square, the former sports presenter repeatedly claimed that measures to tackle the virus — including the wearing of masks — were in fact “excuses for real fascism.”
At one point in his speech, Mr Icke said the “mass global dehumanisation” of the those ordered to partake in measures to stop the spread of coronavirus was a “deceit so premediated, so long-planned, so calculated…that we must not rest until those responsible — including these down the street (in Westminster) — are before a Nuremberg type trial for crimes against humanity.”
He then received his loudest cheer from a crowd of antimask protestors as he shouted: “People of the world, if you want to express your freedom in the face of fascism, take your bloody mask off!”
A d d r e s s i n g t h e police officers who were o bs e r v i ng the demo, Mr Icke then claimed: “I feel no animosity towards you. You are trapped by the psychopaths into enforcing fascism for the psychopaths. “There is another choice, police and military personnel of the world - cease to enforce fascism for the psychopaths and enforce instead freedom by protecting the people from psychopaths.” Mr Icke also attempted to present himself as a unifying force, saying: “We don’t need to fight, we don’t need any more conflict — we just need to come togetherinademandforfreedomaswe are today, not one excluded.”
As he was introduced to the audience at last weekend’s protest, Mr Icke said: “To think that people used to laugh at me in the street once…I have dreamed of moments like this.”
Much of Mr Icke’s speech echoed ideas he has circulated for some years since promoting a theory that the world is run by a reptilian elite known as the “Brotherhood.”
In his 2018 book And the Truth Shall Set you Free, Mr Icke was accused by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in America of casting doubt on the Holocaust and of condemning the Nuremberg Trials.
He argued the Brotherhood has genetically manipulated humanity and sought to divide people along racial and gender lines as a means to subjugate them.
