    This is like one of those crazy threads that used to pop up in the good oul pre-Covid days.

    Major nostalgia buzz.

    Pre-Covid days? Good oul? Sounding old my man.

    That was a month ago here in Ireland not 50 year ago.

    The ould dementia kicking in with old age? ; )

    Its amazing these people can get so rich and powerful as is claimed yet cant stop a few lads with internet access finding out and spreading the truth.

    I had always thought he'd gone nuts since he donned the purple tracksuit and went on Wogan many moons ago, however ...... I can't help thinking that there is always a grain of truth in his train of thought, yes there's loads of ott stuff, but then always something that just has an ounce of credibility, to make me question the official narrative :cool:

    I listen to him with an open mind.

    I'm still not demented enough to listen to David Icke. So I'm keeping the right side of it.

    22 minutes in and he has continued to shout at the interviewer, he is very angry. I sense a disturbance in the force.

    Hes pizzed off with the big boys like the Rothschilds who see humanity as cattle basically not the interviewer Brian Rose.

    Brian likes him lot of mutual respect there. Hes said it many a time. Why you think hes done several interviews with him?

    Brians a multi millionaire as is so the new one banned off screwtube he probably doesnt care!

    The 2 interviews with Icke in the last month hes said are his two biggest viewed videos ever easily. Over million views in 3 days aint bad going for the first one!

    From goalkeeper to Messiah....although he backtracked on that as a "misunderstanding". Bollox, he got laughed out of town and waited for it to all die down before he came back with his conspiracy theories.

    Some of his spiel is based on books he read by some Rudolf Steiner guy

    I'll give him one thing, he seems to have the knack for "guessing" what country is next in line for freedomising

    Icke is a pro conspiracy theorist ie. He doesn't actually believe the bs he comes out with but is clever enough to monetise it to gullible types.

    Corona virus is obviously the global issue at the moment holding everyone’s attention. 5G roll out is secondary in comparison and has very much been a peripheral item in the public eye. The concerns about 5G relate to biological effects from the radiation.

    If you’re a professional conspiracy theorist like Icke who has based a career on mugging off scientifically ignorant people then the current health impasse presents a gilt edged opportunity to monetize via the global reach of YouTube.

    All Icke has to do is make the association between the virus and 5G’s radiation and you have a conspiracy theory which will draw in millions of people who are gullible and/or concerned about the health implications.

    Given that the correlation between 5G and Coronavirus is patent nonsense then YouTube as an entity are thankfully not willing to act as an intermediary for professional conspiracy theorists to drum up disinformation and line their pockets in the process particularly while such disinformation is inciting danger whereas hosting flath earth/chem trail/moon hoax morons et al is effectively harmless.

    Oh no I think he genuinely believes the stuff he says alrite. Remember he is a BBC trained broadcaster so hence he is very articulate and knows who to convey a message. If he didn't have those skills he would just be a bumbling idiot mumbling in the corner who no one listens to

    That one interview has 5.5 million views on Youtube, and it's not all rubbernecking either, these types of snake-oil merchants and loons can have millions of followers and supporters.

    Very hard to know. I watched a couple of his interviews in the last few days and it's very hard to tell. My Mrs reckons he's just psychotic and does believe it. He just has the polish to articulate it well - as you said above.

    I'm not so sure. I think he just knows there's a market and he's filling the market. Much like fox news or the guardian or Jordan Peterson or Tommy Robinson. They might or might not believe what they're saying, but I don't think anyone gets that famous without knowing what the people want and tailoring the message for their target audience.

    he came across as very sincere in the early days when he was still doing interviews on broadcast media.

    I don't know if anyone would put themselves and their families through years of ridicule for something they are just doing for money. Its hard to fake something like that, perhaps an extreme narcissist might. He had a lucrative career with the BBC and then gave that up to talk about Lizards? Dosen't sound like a promising career move. Its only in recent years he has began to attract a bigger audience. He may have PR people around him etc who are advising him on how to monetize his beliefs but he is someone from what I've seen wouldn't be taking advice from many people, he is 100% cuckoo as far as I'm concerned.

    Dedicating their lifes to something they dont believe in.
    And about 50 people who think its all insane and anyone who questions anything is a tin foil hat wearing loon yet literally live there and respond in 1 or 2 minutes on everything.

    A conspirator would have an interest in sabotaging discussions in a conspiracy forum. Wouldn't he? So perhaps their dedication can be attributed to the fact that they are personally affected and have interests to protect. Ever present, alert and barking like sheepdogs to keep the sheep in line.

    :D:D knitting forum. I think the Skeptic forum closed down, not sure when, so they spend time here now..

    I never seen any of them yet accept a conspiracy correct on this forum.

    As mentioned so many times, conspiracies, collusion and corruption happen all the time. Off the top of my head: cash for honors, Russian state sports doping, Libor rate fixing scandal, intelligence manipulation in the Iraq war, 1MDB, Skripal poisoning, Panama Papers, emissions scandal, FIFA bribery..

    You don't see that stuff discussed here. Nope, too boring.

    That looks like one you've made up yourself (fake news), or personally believe in. As Dave never has said this, his only suggestion is that it's hollow(ish) or some sort of artifical physical structure.

    This is very unlikely, it simply has a lower density (-40%) than Earth, the result of a smaller core and thin crust.

    However the moon itself certainly has some interesting math in relation to Earth & Sun (recrepical locks).
