Early life
Icke was born in the city of Leicester in the English Midlands to Beric Vaughan Icke (born 1907, Leicester) and Barbara J. Icke (nee Cooke) (married 1951, Leicester), and was raised on a council estate, or public housing. He left school to play football for Coventry City and Hereford United in the English league, playing as a goalkeeper until forced to retire at the age of 21 because of arthritis.
He found a job with a local newspaper in Leicester and became a reporter, moving on to local radio, regional television, and eventually national television with the BBC, where he became a sports presenter. He left the BBC in 1988 to become an activist for the Green Party, rising swiftly to the position of national media spokesperson. In 1990, he wrote It Doesn't Have To Be Like This, wherein he outlined his environmental positions and political philosophy.
Awakening
In his online autobiography, he writes that, in March 1990, he received a message from the spirit world through a medium. She told him that he was a healer who had been chosen for his courage and sent to heal the earth, and had been directed into football to learn discipline. He was going to leave politics and would become famous, writing five books in three years, and one day there would be a great earthquake, and the "sea will reclaim land", because human beings were abusing the earth. He has called this period of his life his "awakening."
When Icke told the Green Party leadership what he had experienced, he was immediately banned from speaking at party public meetings. In 1991, after a trip to Peru, he wrote Truth Vibrations, an autobiographical work which summarized his life experiences up to that point, with an emphasis on his recent spiritual encounters. He began to wear only turquoise and on March 27, 1991, held a press conference to announce: "I am a channel for the Christ spirit. The title was given to me very recently by the Godhead."
In an interview on the Terry Wogan show that year, he announced that he was "the son of God," and that Britain would be devastated by tidal waves and earthquakes. His statements were met with ridicule from the studio audience, derision in the press, and suggestions that he was mentally ill. Icke later said that he had been misinterpreted by the media. According to Icke, he used the term "the son of God" "... in the sense of being an aspect, as I understood it at the time, of the Infinite consciousness that is everything. As I have written before, we are like droplets of water in an ocean of infinite consciousness" (Tales From The Time Loop 2003). In a 2006 interview with The Observer, he stated that "Everyone is a son or daughter of god".
After being widely ridiculed, he disappeared from public view. He has written that, for several years, he was unable to walk down the street without people pointing and laughing, and that this experience helped him find the courage to develop his controversial ideas because he was no longer afraid of what people thought of him. He told Jon Ronson: "One of my very greatest fears as a child was being ridiculed in public. And there it was coming true. As a television presenter, I'd been respected. People come up to you in the street and shake your hand and talk to you in a respectful way. And suddenly, overnight, this was transformed into 'Icke's a nutter'. I couldn't walk down any street in Britain without being laughed at. It was a nightmare. My children were devastated because their dad was a figure of ridicule."
Writings
Icke has published 20 books outlining his philosophy and views, as well as providing detailed analysis of history as well as current events, which he believes proves the existence of a vast organized global conspiracy.
At the heart of Icke's ideas is the belief that the world is being controlled by a secret government. In 1996, in his book ... and the truth will set you free, he wrote that this government was financed by bankers and businessmen such as the Rockefellers, and also the Rothschilds.
Icke cites the Holocaust, Oklahoma City bombing, the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, the war in Bosnia, and the September 11, 2001 attacks as examples of catastrophic events caused by the secret government.
He believes that we exist within a vibrational multi-dimensional reality that has been manipulated by hidden forces since time immemorial. In 1999 Icke wrote The Biggest Secret: The Book That Will Change the World, in which he revealed his belief that the forces behind this manipulation are reptilian humanoids who originate from a different dimensional reality parallel to our own and who masquerade as humans. However, in order to maintain their physical form in our dimension, these beings must continually consume vast amounts of human blood.
The reptilian group involves many prominent people and practically every world leader from Britain's late Queen Mother to George H.W. Bush, Hillary Clinton, Harold Wilson, and Tony Blair. These people are either themselves reptilian, or work for the reptiles as what Icke calls slave-like victims of multiple personality disorder: "The Rothschilds, Rockefellers, the British royal family, and the ruling political and economic families of the U.S. and the rest of the world come from these SAME bloodlines. It is not because of snobbery, it is to hold as best they can a genetic structure — the reptilian-mammalian DNA combination which allows them to 'shape-shift'."
He has stated that the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, was actually murder, committed because she had discovered that Prince Charles and Camilla had had a child which had been sacrificed in a Satanic ritual. According to Christine Fitzgerald, a confidante of Diana, she believed that the British royal family was connected to reptiles and that she had seen them shape-shift
He describes "shape-shifting" as a "phenomena in which witnesses have reported seeing people (most often those in positions of power), transform before their eyes, from a human form to a reptilian one and then back again".
In Tales From The Time Loop and other works, Icke states that most organized religions, especially Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are Illuminati creations designed to divide and conquer the human race through endless conflicts. In a similar vein, Icke believes racial and ethnic divisions to also be an "illusion" promoted by the reptilians, and that racism fuels the Illuminati agenda.
Recent history
Icke lives in Ryde on the Isle of Wight, where he makes occasional public appearances.
In January 2003, he traveled to Brazil, and later talked about having used Ayahuasca: "[It] is a plant – a rain forest plant – which they turn in to what they call a turn and Shaman in South America have been using it for centuries at least to take people into other realms of reality. ... I took it twice and it was an experience – particularly on the 2nd night – that completely transformed my view of life. What it did was take my intellectual understanding that the world is an illusion into the realms of knowing it’s an illusion and there’s a difference between intellectually understanding it’s an illusion and this level of knowing it because you’ve experienced it. I got to the age of 50 without taking a single magic mushroom and I never even had one smoke of pot or anything."
According to the Daily Mail on May 24, 2006, he was among a group of supporters of Brian Haw, an anti-war protester outside the Houses of Parliament in London, whose placards had been removed by the police a couple of nights earlier. Icke was quoted as saying that "the Nazis wore brown shirts, our fascists came in yellow."
