Ha ha ha! Such foolishness! Rest assured, all of the leaders of this planet are of entirely Earthian origin, and are indisputably endothermic/viviparous “mammals” with “hair”! There are certainly no strong, sleek, beautifully-colored-with-lovely-smooth-skin ectothermic/oviparous “reptiles”\* in positions of power on this planet! No no, Earthians–ah, _fellow_ Earthians–rest assured, this is all just so much idle flickering of the tongue! \*Did you know that “reptile” is from a root which means “to creep” in an obsolete semi-extinct Earth language known as Latin? Such foolish prejudice! ---

> [@pulykamell](#): > > Well, according to Public Policy Polling, [4% of Americans](http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2013/04/conspiracy-theory-poll-results-.html) believe “lizard people” control our society, so you’re bound to come across one eventually. 🙂 (Seriously, it’s one of the more welll-known whackadoodle theories out there, but I don’t think I personally know any lizard people/reptilian believers.) Only four percent of Americans believe it? I think that’s a pretty clear indication of just how crazy this idea is. ---

OK, so 36% of Americans believe that UFOs are alien spacecraft. And 4% believe that Reptilians rule (presumably they all arrived on UFOs.) That means that 32% of UFO passengers are unaccounted for. :eek: What terrible secrets are being kept from us? 😕 ---

I’ve heard of that before. Regarding Icke, some time ago I saw… or rather listened to an entire two and a half hour debunking of him by… another looney. It was the battle of the nutjobs, the Cuckoodome, crazy squared… oh, here it is, [rejoice!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSGfNp___5o) I love when he derides Icke for being so naive as to not realize that the extraterrestial beings sending him waves (or some such) are, in fact, demons. The amazing things is how _reasonable_ the debunker sounds compared with the debunked, it speaks volumes of how far Icke and his ilk have gone off the deep end. ---

I well remember when Icke first went turqouise and nutty in the early 90s. Everyone was waiting for some kind of ‘gotcha’ moment, when he would reveal that it had been some kind of bizarre publicity stunt. And waiting And waiting Realisation that this was not a huge jape\* only dawned over the course of years. \*(I’m still not 100% convinced it’s not) ---

> [@Fleetwood](#): > > NWO? Would it kill you to give the full title before resorting to acronyms? New World Order. An innocent term originally meant to refer to the realignment of world politics after the Soviet Union fell. It was almost immediately seized upon by the CT (“Conspiracy Theory”) crowd as a slip of the tongue which exposed the secret cabal imposing a single unified government on the planet; a government especially hostile to the ideals of extreme right wing paranoid USAians. ---

I’ve come across this too, there are doctored videos on YouTube that purport to show various famous people slipping into their reptilian visage. The special effects in these videos aren’t that bad, if the idea wasn’t so stupid and ridiculous and usually politically motivated I could almost think there was something to it. It just distresses me that people spend vast amounts of their time trying to fool other people with doctored videos and made-up shit, like all the Obama conspiracy stuff. Yeah I’m not an Obama fan, but it’s not because I think he’s a Muslim lizardman. And they criticize Obama for his “Obamaphone” program to give free cell phones to low-income people, when actually that program started under Bush.
