Patrish: Rational analysis - there is loads of it, but people don't want to know it - comfort zone or cognitive dissonance. take 9/11 for an example, architect and engineers for 9/11 truth - if you google that you will get loads of rational analysis

Actually, the rational analysis has been done by the engineers who've debunked this conspiracy theory thoroughly and effectively, to the same level that the "moon landings were faked" conspiracy has been debunked.

Hope you are still there Patrish. Been unwell for a few days.

You suggest that vaccination is a racket just to make money. Sure, vaccinations make money for drug companies, like any products do for their manufacturers. It's the way human economic systems are set up, for better or worse depending on the product. The point about vaccinations is that they work, and so prevent a lot of misery, disability, and unnecessary death. Smallpox used to a killer – it's now been eradicated. Sixty years ago kids were paralysed or dead from polio – it doesn't happen in the West now. And a few years ago many people refused to have their children vaccinated against measles – so there was a measles epidemic last year in Swansea in which thousands were ill and, I believe, one died.

Sorry, but I couldn't follow what you said about rational analysis. It seems to me that the problem is there isn't enough.

You don't sound very happy just now, in fact I get the impression you feel somehow trapped in a particular mindset. That rabbit hole might be leading you to a fantasy world in which nothing is as it seems and logic is upside down. While you still have some insight, keep in mind that sometimes (perhaps a lot more often than you might think) things really are as they seem, and a little common sense will take you a long way.

"architect and engineers for 9/11 truth" is an organisation set up by an architect, Richard Gage, who appears to have lost his way, and spends his time touring the world preaching a conspiracy theory which if you look elsewhere appears to have been well and truly debunked by real scientists.
If you are really doubting the efficacy of vaccination, I suspect you are already so far down the rabbit hole that any attempt to involve you in a reasoned debate is doomed to failure.

Well, there is something we can agree on – I don't believe everything in main stream media either. But the things I disbelieve are mainly the things everyone else disbelieves too, such as how the welfare of ordinary people is important to David Cameron. Some things I might be dubious about, but I don't automatically disbelieve everything on principle as, it seems to me, a lot of conspiracy theorists do.

And we can agree that there are conspiracies around, and that governments and multinationals have secret plans and operations of one sort or another. Not all of these are malign. Actually, I'm quite glad that the UK government has an anti-terrorist department which has had some success, and I would be surprised if multinational drug companies are not working hard on producing drugs to combat or even cure some of the diseases which destroy the lives and happiness of so many people. Your clicky link didn't work for me so I can't comment on conspiracies or secret operations which have been proved to exist; I'll just say that it's naïve to expect governments to admit to projects of this kind just because a journalist asks them. For instance, for years the Pentagon denied that there was anything resembling stealth aircraft in the planning. Quite correctly, they lied in order to keep security.

I agree entirely with your comment on cognitive dissonance and the elephant in the room scenario, (though I don't think they are quite the same thing) but what is troubling about most conspiracy theorists is the absence of rational analysis, or the consideration of reasonable alternatives, or the application of known facts; and the tendency instead to prefer instead the most fanciful and extreme of interpretations. I suppose a lot of them are young teenagers who subscribe to the idea that if you believe anything with enough sincerity it becomes true, and who have no interest in finding out, for instance, how the physical world really works. And so they believe in vampires and shape-shifting monsters and everything Hollywood sci-fi can produce, and because everyone they know believes in the Illuminati then that just has to be true too. They are unaware that the existence of a Nazi Zionist organisation is as impossible as time-travel. But then, many conspiracy theorists are not ignorant teenagers, but apparently just as impressionable.

I can't answer your questions about Heath and Saville. I don't know, and unlike conspiracy theorists I won't present an opinion as a fact. It seems that Saville's activities were well known about in media circles, and presumably David Icke picked up a tip from an insider. Although Saville was never questioned, the weight of consistent allegations seems overwhelming. Presumably he decided that it wasn't a good idea to invite any sort of investigation and hoped Icke would be ignored. Heath might have decided to not sue for libel for a couple of reasons; we will never know for sure. But Icke hasn't "outed" Heath, in the sense that he has revealed him to be a paedophile. He has merely made an allegation. And if you accept that the allegation is true without considering any reasons why it might be completely wrong then you are doing precisely what you say you want to avoid – i.e. becoming the sort of person who accepts uncritically everything you are told. The last thing David Icke wants you to do is to ask reasonable questions about his many fantastic theories, or to keep a reasonably open mind. Remember, if you open your mind too much, your brain falls out.

So Patrish, can reveal just how much an Icke disciple you are? Do you believe humanity is enslaved by a race of shape-shifting telepathic lizards from "the constellation of Draco" (whatever that means.) That alternatively (or additionally) humanity is enslaved by a trans-national organisation of Nazi Zionists, the so-called Illuminati? That the moon is a giant artificial satellite built by the lizard-men to beam hypnotic radio waves at us? That vaccination against disease is an evil plan by the government to weaken the immune systems of young children? That the DVLA is a front for a sinister organisation which keeps hundreds of young children in disused Welsh coalmines for use in satanic rites? (I made one of those up by the way.)

Squeezer, I liked your reply apart from the last bit. Far from being in a sealed room, I feel if thats where I have escaped from.

I don't think it is healthy to blindly follow anyone or anything. David Icke makes you think, makes you ask questions. He beleives that we are all one and that we all have infinite possibilites and that love is a huge power.

Your Psychiatric friend reminds me of aquote from Franz Fanon "Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect that core belief, they will rationalise, ignore and even deny anything that does not fit with the core belief"

This is often the case with some of the conspiracy theories that came true

Another way of describing cognitive dissonance is called "The elephant in the room" We can all see it but it takes too much from the comfort zone, so it's ignored.

I could go on with various examples, but this thread is about Icke and Heath. Why didn't Heath or Saville sue Icke for liable? Saville in particular was very quick to threaten journalists if they suggested he liked them young.

I think its a good thing to question what the Main Stream Media tell us, it would be naive to believe it all.

Cheers for now,

Patrish x

Rob Naylor - Thanks very much indeed for that. I've just tracked down the story on s6.zetaboards.com and it's the one I had in mind.

Patrish - First of all I have to make an admission - I haven't read any of Icke's books, and certainly don't have the mental stamina to sit through 9 hrs of him, so you could fairly say that I'm not in a position to argue against him in detail, only by criticising what I've actually heard him say on video, or read on the web.

A year or two ago I was curious enough about his beliefs to look at his website and do a little internet research about him. I suppose you could say I am partly amused and partly exasperated by what he says, and also fascinated and puzzled by why his ideas have such a hold on some people. I wonder if those people all have something in common, and if so what. I suspect it doesn't have much to do with intelligence or education, simply because I knew a man who had plenty of both who accepted without question every crack-pot conspiracy theory he came across. (One day, when he was happily married, he just stopped believing it all). As far as that goes, you don't seem stupid or uneducated either. But then intelligence or education have nothing to do with delusions, and some delusions (as Tunesmith has noted above) are even approved by the dominant culture of a society. (By "delusion" I mean a logical system of thought and belief which is based on an untruth. When the delusion has a threatening nature it is a paranoid delusion.)

There are many intelligent people who sincerely believe, for instance, that the universe is governed by invisible spirits, that their thoughts are controlled by radio waves, that the lady next door kidnaps and eats little children. Some of these people are looked after in hospital institutions, some work for religious institutions, some live lives that are otherwise quite normal and productive.

Perhaps it's mainly Icke's personality which is more convincing than what he says. It's certainly not any proof for belief which convinces, because of proof he hasn't a shred. I mean, proof of a sort that would be acceptable to a scientist or detective. He boldly states a bizarre opinion (the moon is an alien spaceship, the world is run by shape-shifting lizards, governments deliberately weaken children's immune systems by vaccinations) with no pretence at independent verification, other than, for instance, a claim that ancient Hebrews believed this and it's in the Bible, or the same symbol appears here and here so the has to be an underlying conspiracy, or this word resembles that word so there must be connection.

I'm not saying that there aren't conspiracies or secret government programmes going on, or that the rich and power do not have, well …. wealth and power. Nor that intelligent people can't believe in David Icke. I will say that it's possible to be intelligent and foolish at the same time.

It is of course a feature of a delusion that that rational proof makes no impact at all on it. I remember a psychiatric worker once telling me about a man who believed he had two hearts. In an attempt to defeat his delusion they showed him an x-ray of his chest, but he just said it was someone else's. The delusion was too important to him to be affected by proof of the opposite.

If there's one thing David Icke has it's personality. When he's in good form he is a fluent and persuasive speaker – conversational but very much in charge, with energy and flashes of humour, and a good command of his points of argument (what in other circumstances might be called "facts"). Once his points are taken as facts, and a kind of logic applied to develop them into a systematic belief, and the logic slanted to appear threatening, then you have a sort of religion based on what is usually called conspiracy theory – the belief that ordinary people are puppets made to move at the command of other humans, or of aliens from outer space, and that nothing in books, newspapers, the internet, TV, or radio, is true. Once you accept that nothing you are told is true, you have sealed yourself into a tiny enclosed space where the same stale air is continually circulated and the outside atmosphere is poison.

Hi,

The link below takes you to David's latest book "The Perception Deception" If you scroll down you can read some of the reviews.

This is for the person that wanted to know what David was doing now. He has also started a TV station called The Peoples Voice.

I think it should be made clear that David outed both Heath and Saville in 1999 in his book "The Biggest Secret" when both were still alive.(Heath died in 2005 and Saville in 2011)

As for all the money he has made - he lives in a one bedroom flat on the Isle of Wight and drives an old Mondeo - not really the trappings of wealth.

I saw him at Wembley Arena in 2012 and was very impressed. It was a 9 hour presentation - I have added a link to this below. In his presentations and books he provides many links so that you can check out the source documents yourself. He also reminds his readers and/or audience to do their own research. Not bad advice.

Guest Squeezer: Some years ago I read a great sci-fi short story. Following a TV hypnotist programme in which everyone watching is hypnotised, the hypnotist orders everyone to "wake up". One person watching wakes up completely, and immediately discovers the world is being run by a bunch of loathsome lizards from another galaxy who have hypnotised humans into perceiving them as fellow humans. It's obviously where Icke got his hilarious theory from, but as my reading the story pre-dates it by many years I have no details of author or date of publication. Can anyone help with that?


The short story was "Eight O'Clock in the Morning" by Ray Nelson, published in, I think, "Astounding" in around 1962-63 and featured in a couple of 60s sci-fi anthologies of short stories. I believe John Carpenter made a film based on the story in the mid 80s, called something like "They Live", but you're correct, it was definitely originally a Ray Nelson story. I have about 3 copies of it in various anthologies (bit of a sci-fi nut, me) and always think when I re-read it that it MUST have been where Icke got his ideas from.

As a regulator in healthcare, I referred a consultant colo rectal surgeon to The GMC when he was arrested after stuffing his car one hour after leaving theatre and he was automatically breathalysed by attending officers.

When looking at risk management I found that this was not a one off. Many people in high stress jobs can go to pot. My own liver had some hammer when I was feeding the beast for that matter. Mrs Musket never drinks for at least 24 hours after a theatre list even though she is not on call for complications. It is rare but not unknown.

One of Prince Charles's special branch lads was kicked out after a random breath test they are liable to immediately after driving with HRH in the back.

How many drink drivers need their licence for their work ? Back to doctors, enough lose their licence yet just about every one did their stint in A&E clearing up the human carnage of drink drivers and their results.



Does that begin to answer your question ? After all, Occams Razor and all that. A man in a high pressure role gets pissed versus the Royal family conspiring to kill the mother of their lads.

Mmmmm




My vocabulary includes words such as nipple. Gimp mask. Beer.

What does yours contain?

I too have the honour of two mother in laws or mothers in law, if you will.


Yes. Gimp mask is two words. I'm thick as well as rational.

"a wee bit distasteful and upsetting for the families concerned"
.,,.
Once again, agreed. But, likewise once again, you seem not to take into account the family of M Paul. Didn't he count? Only a respectable working man, not a nob or toff, millionaire's son or ex-princess of any kind; his family no millionaire tycoons or Peers of the Realm: so his family's grief, and the loss presumably of their main support & breadwinner, can be set at nought?

Shame on you.

It is a nice view of the world that all professionals behave professionally. The hard evidence points to the contrary with surgeons, pilots, and train drivers all being found incapable through drink and arrested for the offence.

No. Buggerit. Not till you have answered my main point without facetiousnesses about dictionaries & such [& I would back my vocabulary against yours any day of the week].

I say again: A professional driver is no more going to be drunk in charge of passengers thatn a surgeon is going to be drunk while pe4rforming a delicate operation ~~ unless he has been in some way deliberatly sabotaged.

Just answer that point.

Or shut up and go away.

Please.

Toujours la politesse!

Get your Boys Own Dictionary 1935 out and look up the following words;

Fortuitous
Serendipity
Coincidence

The fog may begin to clear and people might stop saying "excuse me, very interesting but I need to stand over there now" at parties.

I am BTW in general a scornful debunker of conspiracy series. They did, so, walk on the Moon, not in the Arizona Desert.

But in both the cases of both Princess Di & Marilyn, the clear advantageousness to many important people of their removal is one piece of evidence which must be taken into account.

Conspiracies do exist but are almost invariably unmasked. Conspiracy theories, which are by all rational measures unsustainable, persist because people delude themselves into only accepting evidence for the conspiracy and conveniently ignoring the evidence against.
The principle of Occam's razor suggests that the simplest hypothesis is usually the correct one — or as the character Gil Grissom in "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" succinctly puts it, if you hear hoofbeats, "think horses, not zebras."

... and re your "distasteful and upsetting for the families concerned"; can you not see how distasteful, & distressing to his family, must be your disrespect for the professionalism, the character, and the memory, of poor M Paul?

Sorry, Ian; but I do not regard my views on that topic as weird, but yours as mulishly irrational. Obviously a matter on which we are never going to agree. I feel it reasonable to point out, however, that you have entirely failed to engage with my challenge to explain how the unfortunate M Henri Paul got into the state he did on that occasion, other than by the intervention of some ill-wishing third party or parties.

The 'cooking sherry thing', BTW, might have been a faintly humorous tease at the beginning of the previous decade, but really is in danger of wearing a bit thin, tha knowst!

I just noticed your second paragraph. I had genuinely forgotten that you once shared your irrational thoughts with us. It wasn't aimed at you.

That said, it is a wee bit distasteful and upsetting for the families concerned for people to give credence to such awful fairy stories.

Better I blame the cooking sherry on your part than confront your weird claims.
