Well said Mediocracy! I admit to having a conditioned mine and to be sceptical of oddballs like David Icke until it is proven to me. I am one of these 'prove it to me before I totally believe it' at times ... !!! (IMG:

I think a conditioned mind is a trait of the human race which goes through the conveyor belt of school ... college ... conformity ... the normal/oddball phenomena ... acceptance etc etc ..... and we are all guilty of it ... its so easy to dismiss those things and those people which threaten our comfort zones ....
We are all guilty of totally dismissing the viewpoint of someone ... which is like saying we are enlightened and informed on the matters and know that the 'whatever' is not like that ... when in truth it is more than likely we know nothing about the subject other than the gossip/rumours/disinformation which leads us to react in the way we do. It is very easy to dismiss these things in this way ... and the entire race is guilty of this .... I am dismissive in this way of many things as I am sure Mr Mediocracy is too ...
(IMG:
style_emoticons/default/sculacciata.gif) I am conditioned like I say ... I was and still am sceptical of much of what my good friend has to say ... but, slowly ... I accept more and more of his themes. By using myself as a perfect example as you so kindly pointed out ... shapeshifting lizard men were outside of my comfort zone and something which I thought was baloney until a month ago!!!!! Because of that experience I am now able to relate to what David is saying about shapeshifters ... and it changes the goal posts too on other things I find hard to stomach ....
What I am trying to say to people here about Mr Icke is ....forget the typical conditioned reaction that David Icke is a crank and an oddball and that he talks garbage ... people should accept his viewpoint of things and maybe, just maybe the facts may speak for themselves .... because much of what David Icke talks about is very relevant to this forum and I do feel that members would benefit by taking the guy seriously!
There is an interview on the linked site with David and a Zulu Shaman / South African Elder CREDO MUTWA which people will find very interesting ... it discusses this reality and other realities ....
Its worth a investigation ... to get another viewpoint at the least ... and also a good laugh if you still feel inclined to do so!
