A Legal Query

[poliphilo]

I do wonder why no-one has ever sued David Icke. The things he says about the rich and famous are blood-curdling. Is it because his targets think he sufficiently discredits himself with his theories about lizard people and the hollow moon or is it because- amidst all the  craziness- he's got hold of things they'd rather not have aired in open court? He was- let it never be forgotten- right about Jimmy Savile.

He says so much that is totally off the rail that most sane people don't take him seriously. However, he has a sizable loyal (even fanatical) following, and I personally wonder if he hasn't been in some way influential in some of these mass shootings that we have experienced in recent years. I am a firm believer in freedom of expression, so I don't want him silenced, but he does scare me.... or, shall I say, some of his disciples scare me.

When he got started in the early 90s he was all about spirituality. I found him interesting. Then he went on the BBC
and said he was the "Son of God".

I've never heard him linked to shootings before. I've always thought- whatever else he might be- that he was peaceful person.

He may well be, but some of his followers are decidedly mentally ill. I once had to back out of a woman's house because she was starting to escalate while quoting Ike, and was becoming increasingly delusional.

I had to un-Friend and ban a guy on my FB account because he was turning Ike's stuff into his own brand of Nazi ideology, and, like the woman, was escalating.

This kind of thing worries me.

I know what you mean. I don't think Icke's an anti-semite but some of his theories come close to crossing the line.
