Icke and me - through the looking glass

David Icke speaks openly and honestly about subjects that most people are not told about. His conclusions are his own independent findings, and he does not for one moment try to impose himself on others. He writes books and performs public speaking, often for 8 or 9 continuous hours. His public speeches attract thousands of people who pay a nominal fee to listen to him. He has lots to say, and gets his message across in a most engaging style.I, for one, am completely engrossed in what he says. He delves into some fascinating subject matter, all of which makes me wonder what the hell I was studying for 10 years during my "education".David Icke has learned so many facts and seen so many people in so many situations, that his testimony cannot be ignored. Some of the subject matter is so unusual by comparison to the normal way things are explained, that David's most difficult challenge is to break through the conditioned learning his audience have been subjected to through their education, and then to put his truth into an understandable form using the English language alone. Via illustrations, eloquent wordplay, analogy and similes, David Icke achieves this.

Once portrayed as a "nutter" by media darling Terry Wogan, David emerged from the fallout from that early foray into his spiritual awakening, and now walks a path that more and more people are choosing to walk. An advocate of the simple mantra of "free will and action without imposing it on other people" Icke's rhetoric takes on those who seek to manipulate, exploit and upset the normal man and his family. This video concludes one of his marathon talks from Brixton Academy, in London, from 2010.

Merry-go-round

It’s around this time of year, as the smell of barbecues and rain waft through the air, that that I like to cocoon myself from the world of football.

No longer a donkey lasher

It’s not that I need a break from watching the game, or indeed talking about it as my wife will testify, but it’s the media talking about it that I get sick of. Starved of the oxygen of actual football matches, they are forced to look elsewhere to fill their column inches. In other years we’d have the luxury of a World Cup or Euro Championship to keep our reporters occupied but in the odd years, we simply get an extra month and a half of feverish transfer speculation. Oh joy. It is the only time of year, apart from a crackpot four week spell after the New Year, when the term, “has long been an admirer of….” is ever used, as if we are talking about some forbidden tryst in a Jane Austen novel. “Mr D’arcy had long been an admirer of Miss Tevez but was certain that his paucity of wealth would hinder any enquiry for her hand.” That and the absence of a decent makeweight striker. Every possible outlet, from local rags to shiny multinational TV companies gets involved, fuelling fires from the Bernabeu to Burnley and all ports in between. Sky manage to combine the two and will gladly force feed you rumours from any level of professional football to blind you with a blizzard of information on an overcrowded screen on the seemingly never ending 15 minute loop of hyperbole that is Sky Sports News. A more apt moniker would be Sky Sports Speculation. They feed you scraps of information about possible transfers from the lower echelons of the league and worse, from far flung corners of Europe, involving players and teams with names that would not look out of place in a sci-fi movie. “Zaphod Beeblebrox completed his big money move to Dinamo Dagobah today.”  And you should see them when they get a story from the Premier League™. Talk of Crouch going here and Defoe going there has them in a right muddle (it has been statistically proven that 81% of transfer gossip involves Spurs). Pride of place on the screen goes to our trusty presenters who work themselves into a frenzy, usually with a roving reporter outside the stadium of one of the clubs ‘involved’ answering such gems as; “Do you think the manager of Rovers would be pleased to land Athletic’s star Brazilian striker?”“There’s every indication that he would as he has long been an admirer of the greasy get.”  It may be better if they were up front and said, “Of course he bloody would, he scored 60 goals last season, you tit.” It is this desperate need to cram ‘news’ into people’s living rooms that makes me yearn for the cricket field and anything that affords me some respite from the endless rumour-mongering is welcome. With every passing summer, I find myself more interested in those bastions of the stiff, golf (get in the hole!) and tennis (come on Tim!). All I ask our friends in the press is that they show me a picture now and again of some players holding aloft the scarf of their new paymasters and I’ll accept that there will no doubt have been some behind the scenes shenanigans about wages, transfer fees and bungs that preceded the ink being applied to the contract and the snap of the camera shutter. Until that moment, please keep it to yourselves and concentrate on facts.
