We are “sheeple,” and our Overlords are Reptilian aliens (who come from inside Earth)

When David Icke (pronounced \ike\) announced to the world in March of 1991 that he was [blowing the whistle as a] fringe prophet: He had something to lose.
The Englishman had played professional soccer briefly in the early 1970s before arthritis forced an early retirement. He parlayed his connections into a successful and highly visible career as a journalist, TV host, and sportscaster.
But in Icke’s retelling, this line of work began to feel vapid and unfulfilling. A visit to a psychic healer named the threat Icke felt coursing through his aching limbs: He had been chosen to save the human race.

But from what? Icke spent the rest of the decade fleshing out his prophecies, becoming a one-stop global clearinghouse for any and all fringe theories, from UFOlogy to the Illuminati to Matrix-style media critique to Occupy Wall Street (about which he made a documentary after traveling to New York).

| Dragons can be good, as in China, less so in India |
His cosmology is...wide-ranging, absorbing all conspiracy theories into a single, massive omni-theory. The details appeal to specific audiences — the decline/fall/looting of America is a perennial favorite — but its power is in how Icke connects the dots between every conceivable anti-Establishment belief system.
The starting premise is that the vast majority of humans suffer from being enslaved [and exploited as as wage slaves in a disaster-capitalist system, ogres, yakkhas, maras, asuras, and royal-nagas known as] shape-shifting reptilian overlords.

They are both non-human aliens and natives of this hollow Earth, and they include the British royal family [with dragon and serpent insignia], much of the remaining European aristocracy, and various global power brokers — a clandestine network called the Babylonian Brotherhood.
Together, this global elite controls the media, science [funded gatekeepers], [mass] religion, the Internet [and its algorithms], all governments [to some degree].

The rest of us, Icke says, are “sheeple” who lack the consciousness to see the world for what it is. It is a struggle of Them vs. Us, where basically anything — [Nazi pacification program] fluoridated water, the NSA [and other clandestine alphabet agencies like the CIA], Bob Hope [popular personalities used to promote industry and/or militarism], pedophilia [PizzaGate, the dark side of Hollywood, Q Anon, and both wings of the Money Party, particularly the Clintons, Bidens, Mark Epstein, Ghislane Maxwell, Trumps, Bushes, and Obamas] — stands in as evidence of their power.
Twenty years after Icke changed a career on TV [from complicity to whistleblowing], the plain-spoken "messiah" has found his audience on the Internet.
Icke’s followers cut across party and class lines, and he travels the world giving radiantly strange, nine-hour performances [talks exposing what is right in front of us but not recognized as insidious]. His appearances are equal parts lecture, motivational speech, revival meeting, and peace-and-love dance party.
He stages an annual daylong event at Wembley Arena in London and has sold out New York’s Nokia Theater many times.
