Have any of you guys ever been in the awkward situation when a friend or someone spots the cover of the book your currently reading which happens to be David Icke's: The Biggest secret - The book that will change the world.
This has now hapened to me a few times with different people where it is absolutely impossible to not want to take the piss out of the book cover that looks like some some bullshit thats designed to brainwash gullible people in to believing some random crap that written with the sol purpose of 'selling' and making money. I've got to say this is a classic example of don't judge a book by its cover.
How are you ment to get to the ignorant masses if the book cover alone is so fucking hilarious that theres no way anyone could conceive reading the first page. personally I can look past the book cover but this isn't exactly making it easy for the message to get to the people, it's like a shield protecting the book saying : dont read me I am full of shit.
If only people knew that this book really does hold a lot of interesting and very important information.
I don't know I just believe that if they would have left the cover blank I would have been able to grab peoples atention with it a lot easyer, without sounding preachy or nothing you know?
First of all the title, although very truthfull is waaaaay to direct: THE BIGGEST SECRET - THE BOOK THAT WILL CHANGE THE WORLD and writen in massive orange letters that look like they were straight out of Word 97. On the front cover theres gimmicky pics of some politicians that were 'Hot' topics when the book was released. On the back again there is the one liner "THE BLOCKBUSTER OF ALL BLOCKBUSTERS" and a picture of david with the cheesiest grin youver ever seen.lol
To me these are all the brainwashing tools used in the world today that david actually speaks out against, just doesnt make sence.
Though my best guess is that the cover has nothing to do with david, its probably all down to the editor,
I was just wondering had noticed this?

lol. This is the cover in question:

If it's not working for you, why don't you rip the front and back cover off and pour some coffee over it to enhance it's street cred for your mad mates? :D
Personally I find his cover designs unique and quirky enough that if I came across them in a bookstore I'd stop and take a look, thinking "What the fuck's this guy on?"

Lol - i share your issue. I haven't read any of Davids books for aesthetic reasons. I'd be embarassed to be caught dead with one of them. Those covers are so fucking ugly it's surreal.
The only thing of remote aestheticism i've seen of davids, in terms of graphics, is the poster for his talk, Get off your knees Human race, that's cool - the rest looks like it's been made by a 10 year old totally devoid of any artistic sensibility or originality.
The reptilian agenda, and the I am me i am free ones particularly makes my entire brain cringe with objection.
Thanks op. I've needed to come clean with that for a long time :)

well i thought I had to get that off my shoulders in my first post on this forum.
Same goes to all those cheaply made disclose.com and youtube NWO videos with overly dramatic orchestral music layered over speaches. IT really brakes my balls.
don't get me wrong theres nothing wrong with being cheap as long as it gets the message out, but using music and visuals to emphasize targetted emotions that take the whole thing out of context just makes me feel like theyre tryin to control my perception of reality to instead of just feeding it to me raw on a plate as it is, no sneeky stuff. Sigh...

Best Icky book. Amazing read. Worth it just for the expose on Tony O'Reilly which nobody here in Ireland knows about but should. The entire book is a real page turner.
Perhaps a picture of a half-naked chick with a Glock revolver pointing at the world with a recommnedation by Tom Clancy would be more to your graphic design tastes? Then you might move on from looking at pictures and actually reading it?

I'm not the squeamish type but I remember reading it for the first time at my desk at work and I threw up in my own mouth when he detailed the Satanic child abuse. Until then I didn't even know it was possible to think those things let alone do them.

Now now now, that's not fair, endlessvista :)
I think the generel idea here is that Davids work/his books are worthy of more tasteful graphics that would honour his seriousness. The point is not merely replacing one ugly and cheap-looking cover for another type of cheap-looking cover.
David is top class, his book covers should reflect that.

Well I know there were crazies in the world, but the fact they are more likely to doctors, judges, polticians doing this stuff made a huge about of sense after read TBS.
I used to work in a very exlusive private 'Gentlemens' club in Dublin on a wine bar in the resturnat and the majority of the patrons were nearly all psychopaths after a few drinks. They all had that same personality type as the guy in the American Psycho movie. An understated viciousness is the only way I can term it.
I can recall one famous Irish doctor celebrated by the Irish establishment as a noble and wonderful soul when he was drunk telling another elite that he was "sick of looking c**ts which were dragging along the floor and how tasty young fillies are coming to his clinic more often". They both burst out laughing. A day later this guy was on the radio going about about post natal care for pregnant women in this caring and sanctimonious manner.
Reading The Briggest Secret connected a lot of dots in my life which never made sense in the past but do now.

Hey - take a look at the lady in # 254 on the
The New "Appreciation of Women" Thread, and tell me you wouldn't hesitate just a little to consult with this lady on spiritual issues. Granted, she may have a firm grasp on reality and be an intellectual giant regarding what's going on in the world but...errm...
In terms of taste, style and class, she is the the walking embodyment of a david icke book cover, and she comes across as just as serious as, say the Reptilian agenda book cover. You'd have to either know her really really well, or be blind, to look past outward appearance, i think. First impressions, and all that. Anyway, check out the lady and let me know what you think :) And no go judging her by her looks now ;)

Can't say as it would be easy enough for them to find out who I am and he is retired now.
He was an evil cocksucker take it from me and he wasn't alone the "Gentlemen's club" was full of them.
One of their son's I recall a snotty giggling aristocratic twerp was drunk at the wine bar one night, at the time I was working 5 nights a week in the place opening wine in order to get through college and maintain some independence from a couple of alcholic, violent parents. I was opening a bottle of champers for this 'idiot grandson' and I dropped the bottle on the ground and went down to pick it up. There as burst of upper class "GUFHAWS" from the assembled and I felt humilited, at that point this cretin peeks his head over the bar with me mopping the floor and exclaims loudly "you see that's why I am here, and you are down there...HA HA HA HA!!!"
That demented chuckler is now on the board of diectors of one of the banks being bailed out by the Irish taxpayers. His father got him the job in the bank. These are the people who live without any consequences and empathy in their lives and if people claim with good evidence that these types are into child sacrifice then I beleive it. Absolutely.

I would say who 'really' cares about what the book cover looks like???, does it make a difference to your life??? really think deep about that....... it dont does it??.... so why worry??... do you really have to be a strange and different person to be able to own a book that shows a cover which dont fit into mainstream society???... I think you guys are still sleeping yes? if you would not rather buy his books just because you have friends who will take the mick out of what they think the content invloves just by judging from the cover then you are still pretty much sleeping my friends.
Yes, they will take the mick but thats totally their problem isnt it and not yours?? it will instantly make you realize from looking at their reaction to the book cover alone that they are just trapped in the society that has made them think like that in the first place. YOU know whats in the book and YOU know what it really contains and means and most of all YOU know what things are contained in the book are TRUE. All you need to tell your friends when you hear their reaction to the cover is..."have you read it before?".... they will obviously say no, then you say to them... "so then how do you know its a load of crap then???" they will either shut up or still ridicule it but you will see the look on their face that they know your right, they will just never want to admit it because then they will just make themselves look stupid.
Who really cares about book covers? I dont give a shit because ive completely woken up and the sooner more people dont give a shit is the day when we will be just a little bit closer to getting the majority of the population to realize that the reason they gave a shit in the first place is because the manufactured society has got them that way in the first place.
I could own one of David Ickes books even if it was bright flourecent pink with a big flashing sign pointing to it saying 'this book is shit'... I dont care, I read the book and it makes sense to ME, let people think what they want to think, their the ones who are missing out, never feel embarrased by having a book that looks different, if you did then there wouldnt be any true change in the world would there?
Im actually quite surprised at the amount of people on here that still havent woken up from societies spell considering that this is David Ickes website, most you people obviously need to watch all them David Icke lectures again that you once watched before to make his message truly sink in like it should have in the first place. Yes breaking away from the mind set of society can be hard for people because its hard wired into your minds from birth, im just advising for you to watch them all again, then maybe the thought of what other people think might truly go away and you will see this whole place for what it really is.
Im not on this website too often but while im here, your more than welcome to join my group on facebook 'public awarness of the new world order' and invite your other freinds who need waking up, thanks, Macca.

The book cover was the reason that I bought it. Am I gullable? Maybe. I am a sucker for vibrant, colourful language with key words etc. I am so glad I was drawn to it as I have learned so much, and I am no longer in the land of nod.:)

I think you slightly missunderstood man. My opinion about David Ickes book cover has nothing to do with what I think about the actual content, it doesnt stop me from reading it or being more skeptical about it, it doesnt make me want to go and hide in a cupboard everytime I read the thing and i dont spend my time trying to hide from people cos the covers embarassin it like it was pandoras key or sumthin. WHat im sayin is i dont have some fucked up complex about it, what I was tryin to say was actually quite simple, two things:
-The cover(s) to me was designed by someone who has no soul and that doesnt really dramatically change my life, its just yet an other un-creative piece of shit designed to trigger the bits in ur brain that will make u want to buy it. I just find it ironic that these are things he talks out against... The bottom line is the truth needs to be told, not sold.
-and yes, I do give a shit about trying to wake people up and it does bother me that something as small as the cover design could in my opinion make a big difference in getting a blind man to take his first step towards getting a new set of eyes.
Dont get me wrong though, im not hate mailing or anything, I just thought that the fact that its now happened to me three times in two weeks the "wow that book looks facinating *sarcasm*, sniger sniger sniger" was worth mentioning, its not my fault that the human race is a bunch o un-evolved retards, and a "bright flourecent pink with a big flashing sign pointing to it saying 'this book is shit' " would hav probably made it easyer for them than the current book cover.

Was in a well-known huge Dublin city center bookstore a few months back and there were a couple of what one would call "yuppie" guys in business attire looking through the 'New Age' section and all DI's books were there and they were going on about this and that and one of them took TBS off the shelf and remarked "this is a great read" and to my amazement the other one came back with "have it, really interesting".

Oh dont get me wrong kennystetson, my message wasnt attacking you personally, this was a response to most of the other replies on here after finding out that many people have a problem with buying the books because of what people think. Im just kinda shocked to see so many people on this website who are actually worried or at least thinking about friends taking the mick out of the books and needing to decide wether to buy them or not in the first place because of it.
Yes of course everyone is not the same anddont think in the same way but after Davids lectures have covered many hours and go into thorough detail about worrying of what people would think I would have expected quite a few more replies from people saying who cares about the covers.

The bit that got me was the anal penetration of a small boy, I think it was Arizona Wilders talk on a particular ritual.
It just made me think that thousands of children go missing, always have...I didnt give it much thought, perhaps they had gone onto the streets, drugs, died or somewhere else but to think that they may have been snatched for something a lot more terrifying.......
I have two children, Im no worrier, at least I wasnt......
Several years back in my area a car with a man and woman in attempted to capture a small local girl. Kids go missing all the time on the beaches but are normally found again...
My ex was adopted in South Africa, there was a docu on the telly about how in the 70's loads of children were taken off their parents because of Satanism
Then you have Haut de Garenne that has simply been brushed under the carpet, nobody saying a word.....
I had seen former residents in interviews about their stay there, either these people were far more superior in their acting skills than the best 'movie star' we have or they were telling the truth. And see what happens? NOTHING! :mad:
I had this understanding from a friend of mine who was abused as a child and she led me to believe there was a certain element of 'love' if you can it that....this is something very, very different....
The Biggest Secret contained more info than that but Ive chosen not to remember :(

YOU know whats in the book and YOU know what it really contains and means and most of all YOU know what things are contained in the book are TRUE. All you need to tell your friends when you hear their reaction to the cover is..."have you read it before?".... they will obviously say no, then you say to them... "so then how do you know its a load of crap then???" they will either shut up or still ridicule it but you will see the look on their face that they know your right, they will just never want to admit it because then they will just make themselves look stupid.
Who really cares about book covers? I dont give a shit because ive completely woken up and the sooner more people dont give a shit is the day when we will be just a little bit closer to getting the majority of the population to realize that the reason they gave a shit in the first place is because the manufactured society has got them that way in the first place.
I could own one of David Ickes books even if it was bright flourecent pink with a big flashing sign pointing to it saying 'this book is shit'... I dont care, I read the book and it makes sense to ME, let people think what they want to think, their the ones who are missing out, never feel embarrased by having a book that looks different, if you did then there wouldnt be any true change in the world would there?
Im actually quite surprised at the amount of people on here that still havent woken up from societies spell considering that this is David Ickes website, most you people obviously need to watch all them David Icke lectures again that you once watched before to make his message truly sink in like it should have in the first place. Yes breaking away from the mind set of society can be hard for people because its hard wired into your minds from birth, im just advising for you to watch them all again, then maybe the thought of what other people think might truly go away and you will see this whole place for what it really is.
Im not on this website too often but while im here, your more than welcome to join my group on facebook 'public awarness of the new world order' and invite your other freinds who need waking up, thanks, Macca.

the knowledge/info but wanting an excuse for it. I told someone about the site/forum etc and they had a similar excuse for not wanting to investigate any further. Being obsessed with an acceptable package to be aligned with, is just saying you are in the programme and game of being concerned what people think of you. You need the approval of others. When you are guided by your inner voice, could be DI's X-factor, so described, you would not care if it was packaged in a cover ripped and stained, from a second-hand store, you would be happy to acknowledge sanity like a man in a desert with parched lips, welcomes a precious drop. When you make a judgement like that, discomfort, something is making you squirm, I find that to be confirmation that there must be something tasty awaiting.

Lol - i share your issue. I haven't read any of Davids books for aesthetic reasons. I'd be embarassed to be caught dead with one of them. Those covers are so fucking ugly it's surreal.
now that is sad.
I have David's last book proudly displayed for everyone to see when they come in the door, it's right there on the shelf, if they bother to look...i don't have the rest because family members have my others lol
The artwork on the book covers is eye catching, which i think is what its purpose was in the first place! My favourites are I am me, I am Free and the last one with the reptilian eye in the middle of the swirl of images of logos, politcal figures, symbolism etc. The scales too were a nice touch lol :D
The only thing to pick at i'd have is maybe the wording of things sometimes, the subtitles, can be a bit tongue in cheek, as in we get the humour behind what it means but the clueless don't. But that's it :)
I say it's fun to provoke, stick your book out there and display proudly!!
It's obviously what's in the book that matters.

Good on you for enjoying the books so much. It's just a question of different tastes really can't be discussed, taste, it's so subjective isn't it.
I wouldn't be cought dead with one of the books, but do enjoy Davids talks and interviews very much. He is such a powerful communicator and a very charming and funny man too - he has great body language too, which i love - so i prefer to listen and look and feel his vibe :) all of which doesn't really come through in his writing. Granted, i only know his writing from the newsletters, and based on that i prefer his spoken words and the presence of spacial fullness between the words, if that makes sense.
Enjoy whatever you enjoy :p

Have any of you guys ever been in the awkward situation when a friend or someone spots the cover of the book your currently reading which happens to be David Icke's: The Biggest secret - The book that will change the world.
This has now hapened to me a few times with different people where it is absolutely impossible to not want to take the piss out of the book cover that looks like some some bullshit thats designed to brainwash gullible people in to believing some random crap that written with the sol purpose of 'selling' and making money. I've got to say this is a classic example of don't judge a book by its cover.
How are you ment to get to the ignorant masses if the book cover alone is so fucking hilarious that theres no way anyone could conceive reading the first page. personally I can look past the book cover but this isn't exactly making it easy for the message to get to the people, it's like a shield protecting the book saying : dont read me I am full of shit.
If only people knew that this book really does hold a lot of interesting and very important information.
I don't know I just believe that if they would have left the cover blank I would have been able to grab peoples atention with it a lot easyer, without sounding preachy or nothing you know?
First of all the title, although very truthfull is waaaaay to direct: THE BIGGEST SECRET - THE BOOK THAT WILL CHANGE THE WORLD and writen in massive orange letters that look like they were straight out of Word 97. On the front cover theres gimmicky pics of some politicians that were 'Hot' topics when the book was released. On the back again there is the one liner "THE BLOCKBUSTER OF ALL BLOCKBUSTERS" and a picture of david with the cheesiest grin youver ever seen.lol
To me these are all the brainwashing tools used in the world today that david actually speaks out against, just doesnt make sence.
Though my best guess is that the cover has nothing to do with david, its probably all down to the editor,
I was just wondering had noticed this?
peace
lets start at the beginning here .
1 )So you admityou perposly bring the book into full view of people who you know damned well will take the piss ?
hhm -----------interesting .
2 ) you then blame the book for your mild yet totaly blind mistake of issue 1 above by slagging the cover right down , ie so you blame the book for issue above by blaming its cover .
3 )
you say it looks like a book thats designed by an old program ( ie indicating it appearse insupeior which somehow is a side track from the real issue here ) you also said that it LOOKS like a book designed to mind wash the gullable .
forget all this , but do you see how you are acting ?
what you place the blame on ?
yet if any of those people around you in anyway respected you , they would purely understand -------------that its just a book !
if you insist on bringing in a focus point that they can hook onto -then thats your fault .
lets face facts -----------ask your self
why do you do this ?
why is it ------that you cannot see the truth that these people wish to ridicule you and put you down anyway --- the book is only a tool inwhich they use to do this .
if it wasnt that book ------------what book will it be ?
if it wasnt a book ------------------it would be something else .
you must face facts here -------------- they are punishing you with mental and emotional bullying because you dont fit their idea of what you have to read and think .
im not going to say anymore because it doesnt seem as though you are able to face this truth let alone be capable of accepting these facts so i will waist my time no more on this subject .
other than to say this
just because the majority think this----------or think that-----------or do this or that --------being a majority does not make them right and never will !
not so long ago the majority thought the world was flat !
that people are witches if they fly !
that saying god does not exist is punishable by death !
these traist are still what programms the masses today !
its called the tribe mentality !
tribes look after the tribe .
their is no such thing as an individual ina tribe .
if a tribe was about being individuals , the tribe would not exist .
thats the same with the masses today .
and besides , it sounds as though you are either at a school yard , or a gathering for the mentaly ignorant .
fkem all !
read it somewhere else , if you keep being bogged down by what others think
you'll never learn a thing !:cool:
the world didnt get where it is today by people worrying about -------what others think !

Right, lol.
Funny how people are completely over reacting to this, I wasn't trying to make a massive deal out of all this, I just thought it was worth mentioning.
1) yea i admit bringin the book in to full view, just as you would any book, Im not exactly waving it around in front of them, Im just reading it in front of them as I would any book, so? why not? Yea I know theyll probably take the piss, but im one of those that tries to find ways to advance the truth, so I do mind if people are gonna be put off by the cover.
2)I dont get your point? I blame the book of what? yea the cover is shit.lol.end of
3) K when I said that it looked like it was done on word 97 i just ment it looks very cheaply thrown together, thats not a problem. It just looks shit, theres no real intelecual debate to be had about that or anything beyond the fact that its just quite funny how blatent it is....just pointing it out, its not a major opinion attacking david and his work or anything.lol.people need to chill
Yes it does look like its designed for that purpose to mind wash the gullible, I'm saying that taking the position of the wider audience u know what I mean? yea the cover does use loads of shitty marketing techniques, thats a fact...what can i say, and yea everyone does it, but david speaks out against this in his speaches. Im not acting anyway apart from pointing out the obvious.
Yea the people around me do understand that its just a book. THATS THE PROBLEM right there, to me its not just a book, its one of the most important pieces of information in the world! The only book that I know of that goes in to such detail on how the world really goes round and that gives enormous amount of details on these truths. Yea theres loads of books out there that talk about the world as it is, but none on the reptilians, which is surely the most important fuck up. im not bringin in this ocus point, the cover does, they see it, as I said, Im putting myself in there position thats all, it isnt necessarily my view on it, im pointing it out.
I think people here have gotten my point the wrong way round, I am aware of what they are doing, im not duped, it doesnt bother me more than the that , I just felt like it was important to point out that this is one of the reasons other people might choose not to read it...
simple as, yes I do care, I want people to ge beyond that. This isnt about me being caged up behind my rational barriers, its about them... I completely understant the concept of walking with the masses and ridiculing the ones that choose their own path, dont get me wrong on that.
lol, Ive considered that option. My friends arent quite mad, just as lost and confused as we all are
Have your friends even sat down and read a book from start to finish :confused:
Over 515 pages and they couldn't even open it because of the cover :eek:
Surely they must take some intrest after you tell them what you know and have learned since reading the book and visting the forum :confused:

The first Icke book I read was Children Of The Matrix, which I borrowed because the cover was unbelievably awful! I started reading in the spirit of seeing how much I could take, like a thought experiment.
...I found it heavy-going, emotionally speaking, and I gave up a couple of times. But I kept going back and reading more, then a couple of his other books and now I have a lot of respect for him and try to remain open-minded about some seemingly impossible things being possible.
So I suppose I agree that the artwork is generally bad. I also think Icke is not a good writer, in terms of style and the awkward jokes he inserts. But these things are unimportant compared to his subject matter, in fact they reveal a humanity which is not apparent in ultra-slick corporate books!

I get your point. I had the Global Conspiracy book in the car and gave somebody a lift the other day. They picked it up and looked at the green scaly cover and remarked that it says "how to end it".
Out of context it must have seemed like a suicide manual.
I could do without all the lizard stuff on the outside to be honest.

Fuck your friends. It's not hard to say ''Have you read it?'' and when they say ''No'' ''Pleaaaase'' or ''as if'' then say ''well then, shut the fuck up'' or in a more polite manor ;)
Just goes to show how brainwashed people still are when they can't face the embaressment of their friends knowing what they believe.

hehe, I don't think people here are getting what I was trying to say ages ago when I started this thread and no matter how much I keep coming back to try and explain I'm still getting people telling me I'm programed to be embarrassed by the cover and that I must still be fast asleep etc.......... no!
The book cover of THe Biggest Secret was just simply shit, it has nothing to do with being asleep or heavily programmed. It's just a matter of artistic taste I guess, nothing more nothing less, so everyone just chill :)
It could have been any book in the world, one that has nothing to do with conspiracies, Shakespeare or anything, I simply think the cover for the biggest secret looks awful, apart from that, great book, I've read it twice.
But yes, there are people out there that will be put off by how mind numbing that shitty book cover looks, it's just a shame....
I'm repeating myself over and over but people still don't get my point so I'll just leave it at that, this thread died ages ago.
I don't understand how so many people go on about how programmed other people are in the way they think, how they just do what they are told to subconsciously... but these same people who have supposedly deprogrammed seem to reprogram themselves in a way, they start to follow some other program which says that pretty much anyone with an different opinion is being played by the system, is brainwashed and fast asleep. Do you get what I mean? I'm not trying to attack anyone here by the way.
It's ironic though... I think the key is to just keep an open mind before jumping to conclusions through the same group thinking that most of you condemn in the first place.

Now now now, that's not fair, endlessvista :)
I think the generel idea here is that Davids work/his books are worthy of more tasteful graphics that would honour his seriousness. The point is not merely replacing one ugly and cheap-looking cover for another type of cheap-looking cover.
David is top class, his book covers should reflect that.
This right here explains it better than I did :)

Can't say as it would be easy enough for them to find out who I am and he is retired now.
He was an evil cocksucker take it from me and he wasn't alone the "Gentlemen's club" was full of them.
One of their son's I recall a snotty giggling aristocratic twerp was drunk at the wine bar one night, at the time I was working 5 nights a week in the place opening wine in order to get through college and maintain some independence from a couple of alcholic, violent parents. I was opening a bottle of champers for this 'idiot grandson' and I dropped the bottle on the ground and went down to pick it up. There as burst of upper class "GUFHAWS" from the assembled and I felt humilited, at that point this cretin peeks his head over the bar with me mopping the floor and exclaims loudly "you see that's why I am here, and you are down there...HA HA HA HA!!!"
That demented chuckler is now on the board of diectors of one of the banks being bailed out by the Irish taxpayers. His father got him the job in the bank. These are the people who live without any consequences and empathy in their lives and if people claim with good evidence that these types are into child sacrifice then I beleive it. Absolutely.
Wow, what a complete and utter wanker!.

Frankly, I'm shocked at almost every thing I read here. Today is my first time posting to David's forum. I can assure you that I will not, nor would I ever, insult his book cover, or any thing else. The man is extremely intelligent, very imformative, and above all... He cares enough about each and every one of you to spend his life informing the masses about things very few of us have the courage to do.
I've been through hell trying to do a lot of the same things David does! i spend a huge chunk of my life via the anti-new world order/ anti-evil illuminati movement for all of my fellow Americans, and to anyone else in the world who will listen. The illuminati is not a fantasy or a game. This is real life and they want us all dead, or enslaved.
David has some very controversial idealogies, theologies, and many facts that are no less than compelling. Do I agree with every single thought he has? No! And thank God! There are too many robotic thinkers as it is. One of the greatest points he tries to drive home to people is to think outside the box. Explore possibilities. Think for yourself and don't sweat what others think of you, as long as you are being good toward others!
Ya know, I don't even like reptiles, snakes, etc., in any form! In fact, I detest them! So, am I suppose to just write David off all together? I think NOT!
Please! He's a good man who want's all of you to be safe, aware, alert, and able to spot trouble waiting to pounce on you.
You're on the man's web site for God Sake! At least respect that if nothing else! David deserves much better treatment than I have witnessed here today!
God Bless You David Icke... Where ever you are, what ever you're doing! Thank You brother for giving so much of your time and life to inform and warn the masses! I for one appreciate you! You are in my prayers! And thanks for allowing me to check out your web site and forum...

I think everyone is missing the point. The image is the Earth as the face of a lion, and who is looking at the Earth = the supposed ET's that he claims are controlling us from there. I'm not saying I agree with his point of view I haven't read the book, but clearly what he is saying is that humanity, the earth, is waking up, and that we are a lion and he's saying to the "moon" et's, "we're watching YOU". It is a view of the earth from the moon, with a symbolic overtone, and a message to the watchers.
