In November 2023, he put out an episode of his video podcast, The Dot Connector, called Here and No Further, The Alternative Media Hijack, where he argues that people like Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson, Russell Brand, Tucker Carlson, and Joe Rogan are all members of what he calls the Barricade Brigade. They're allowed by the powers that be to present themselves as free speech champions and alternative media figures, but they're actually just there to enforce a line where they can take the audience, but they can't go past.

It got personal earlier this month when David Icke tweeted, quote, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Joe Rogan, and then parentheses, long lost cause, Eva Vlardingberger, and all the rest of the Musk-worshipping mainstream alternative media. When are you going to wake the fuck up and see what this man really is? I despair at your naivete, and I'm being optimistic that it's all naivete. There was no alternative media when I started out in 1990. I watched it appear and grow, and now you're destroying it with your pathetic submission to this blatant asset of the very global cult you claim to oppose.

The good news is that David Icke has no interest in trying to destroy Alex. He just is lashing out to try and get into a fight with someone for some publicity. He's got a new book coming out.

Consider that David Icke takes a different view. He believes that shows like Rogan's are meant to be gatekeepers that make sure the audience gets a taste of alternativeness, but keeps them out of the real stuff that's really threatening to the global cult. In Ike's conception, the fact that Rogan and his guests are saying nice things about Alex means that Alex isn't cutting edge. You can kind of see in that contrast how Alex can maybe give lip service and the fake appearance of a debate with Ike, but it's far too threatening to his sense of self to even consider the position that Ike is coming from.

David Icke believes that there was no virus. He believes that COVID and pretty much... I believe his position is that all viruses are fake.

It was back in the mid-1990s that David said non-human interdimensional creatures are sucking our souls and killing us and making us war with each other.

Hanging out with David Icke wasn't fun.

And again, proves David Icke's complaint. Proves David Icke's complaint 100%.

David Icke has spread some of these ideas on Alex's show in the past few years and actually is quite a big proponent of this Sabatean conspiracy idea.

The Great Awakening is happening that he said 20 years ago he thought would begin around 2014.

Meanwhile, David Icke is as crazy as he's ever been, and his brand is entirely able to take or leave Alex. He won in terms of these two. His brand is fucking impenetrable at this point. He's made enough of a cottage industry for himself that he doesn't really need anybody else. He can sell out weird speaking engagements and sell books.

What David Icke was saying eight months ago wasn't that the vaccine wasn't real. He was saying that COVID didn't exist. There was no virus, and maybe viruses don't exist. That was his take back then, but I guess Alex doesn't want to get into that, lest he have to choose between agreeing with that or bringing up something that David Icke said that looks really fucking stupid.

In a 2013 interview with Luke Radowski from We Are Change, Paul said, quote, don't tell Alex, it was actually David Icke that woke me up.

David Icke believes there is no virus.

One thing that's an offshoot of his mentality that I think is worth discussing is that it's very, very fucked up. If you believe that all tyranny is destroyed by self-respect, then there's never been a situation where tyrants have existed except in cases where the people they were tyrannical over just didn't respect themselves enough. Yep. This is a pretty nice version of victim blaming. If I were Alex, I would ask this follow-up question.

That is not in there. That's a quote from David Icke's website.

Whereas people like David Icke, spinning conspiracies about there not being a virus, could very easily lead you to take actions that end up putting yourself and others at risk directly. And so I can see why you would take this more seriously and have a different approach to it.

I hear them saying, well, it seems as if people aren't getting immunity. Even people that have had it, they're not getting immunity. But why are they getting immunity?

Ike is arguing that there actually is no virus, which is an absolute and complete contradiction of everything that Alex is claiming to know definitively. Alex should not be promoting this interview without also taking issue with the things David is saying and deconstructing how he's wrong. If you're listening to Alex's show, you're hearing him yell about how the virus is a bioweapon created by Fauci and the Chinese and simultaneously hearing him promote and tacitly support David Ike saying that the virus is completely made up.

The great thrust of that interview that was banned was not about 5G at all. That was quite a small portion. The great thrust was that the scam is so vast, there is no COVID-19.

So the thing that's going on here is I hate to say this because I obviously can't prove this, but the sense that I get is a pay-to-play kind of situation. I kind of feel like David Icke might be paying for airtime. And Alex is profiting off this. Because there is a trend that goes through the interview where Alex is just letting David Icke say all this stuff. Chiming in very sporadically. Not interrupting him all that much. And then, after a couple segments, Alex is like, for my own selfish reasons, I want to talk about what I want to talk about. This is one example of it. What they don't want people to know... Is there's no virus, because then the house of cards completely comes down. And if I know that, then they know that, and therefore the jails, if not the hospitals, the jails should be full of these people if there's any justice. All right, David, we've just spent three, four segments, and you've had a lot of great points hitting your main topic. What about... 400,000 signatures will pass the number they need at WhiteHouse.gov to investigate Bill and Melinda Gates. I don't know if that proves anything, but there is a real feeling of like, all right, you've had your time now. Now help me out with my shit. Right. I could see that. That could also just be an arrangement between the two of them because like, hey, what's going to work best for both of us? Sure. I don't know. It's very weird. There's a dynamic at play that is not organic and is not normal. And I think that might be a part of why Alex is so happy to be like, that makes total sense. You're right. There is no virus. You have to have a fake virus if you want to control it. It's because he's basically in an agreement of some sort to platform David Icke's ideas.

Before there was Alex Jones on the scene, there was David Icke, I remember. He blasted on the scene in the early 1990s. He'd been a top British broadcasting host of their morning shows, nighttime shows, sports programs. I mean, he was a mainstay of the UK and really around the world. And then he had a, I guess, Saul on the road to Damascus moment. Complete mental breakdown, yes. Hit by that bolt of light and suddenly saw a whole different paradigm view of the universe.

It would be fair to say that Icke definitely had a shift in his paradigm after he was struck by lightning or whatever happened to him when he was in Peru, but it seems strange to compare his experience to that of Saul.

So he's gone for all the ridiculous Hollywood stuff of David Icke and the blood-drinking lizard people. So what does David Icke do? He talks about the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, these global elitists, these power structures, all real, all true, all demonstrated by bills and executive orders and prime ministers and premiers and presidents. All real, meat and potatoes. Something you can bite into. Something that is easily demonstrable. And then you've got David Icke at the end of all this. He says, by the way, they're blood-drinking lizards. Al Gore needs blood to drink. So does Prince Philip.

And it's being picked up by people, and so it discredits all of the reality that people are talking about. And that's the problem with David Icke. He's got a good line to a point, and then he discredits it all. It's like a turd in the punch bowl. That's his job. He's got this nice big thing, this nice fruit punch, nice ice cube floating around in it, and then he takes a big dump right in the middle of it, and no one's going to drink out of that punch bowl.

I think he knows what he has to do in a controlled world to get away with what he's doing and be given attention. And he's either a smart opportunist con man or he's completely insane or he's working for them directly. But I kind of think he's just a con man who understands how things works and is just a real opportunist.

Or how three years ago David Icke was saying supporting Trump is embarrassing and then now here he is on his show.

But it's also worth pointing out that a month before this appearance, David Icke posted an article on his own website with the headline, quote, Sandy Hook was a blatantly staged event with endless inconsistencies and countless contradictions. Sure. So, chalk him up on that team.

He sounds like a fucking nervous bookie. As we can all say, fuck you, you lying piece of shit. You're a fucking con man. He is. He doesn't even believe the dumb shit that he says.

Probably around 2000, I came into contact with David Icke's work, and I found his research absolutely fascinating. But again, I was a little bit dissatisfied with his work, not in terms of what he presented, because I found that this was very fascinating. He had a lot of sources which presented circumstantial evidence.

The book, it was the biggest secret. I actually watched the video first, and then I... I bought the book The Biggest Secret and there were several other books of his that I bought. And that really led me down the rabbit hole, so to speak.

But he does say that people like Barack Obama are white people in black bodies.

Look, I think he's beholden to anti-Semitic ideas, and he certainly believes the protocols of the elders of Zion is real.

I think David Icke is a crazy pundit because I think he's brain damaged.

I don't think David Icke could. I think he has brain damage.

What it is, is I think that David Icke is less noxious. I think that there is more that can be gained from him than Alex, for sure.

David Icke is on the show, and though I think he has some good points to make about self-actualization, he is beholden to the protocols of the elders of Zion and has a lot of anti-Semitic beliefs.

But David Icke is not legitimately anti-Semitic.

So just for fun, I want to read you a couple quotes from David Icke before we get into his interview, just so you can have a good sense of the man. If you don't know who he is, he is a guy who believes that there are lizard people that have inundated the elite levels of society, and they're trying to... All the globalist stuff that Alex believes, just make them lizards, and it's David Icke, basically.

He totally believes the protocols are real.

And David Icke is fucking stupid bringing that stuff up, as is Alex Jones. All this stuff is a crock of bullshit.

David Icke has literally said that he is Christ.

He does a two-hour interview with Carrie Cassidy, where he explains that he went to a jungle or something like that, and he was on a mountaintop, and all of a sudden he went into Christ pose. He had his arms extended. And he couldn't move his arms. And he heard a voice that told him, you will stay like this until the rain comes. And he could see way off in the distance rain clouds. And he's like, that's really far away. And he was there for like hours in a Christ pose. So he has some obsessive compulsive disorder. He was downloading information. Like some entity was talking to him and explaining everything to him. Gotcha. And then as soon as the rain came and washed over him, he came back to his senses and his arms came down and he was in a lot of pain because doing this for a long time hurts.

I remember... First reading one of your books, like, 18 years ago, I think it was your first book, and my cousin, Buckley Hammond, said, you've got to read this. This guy knows what's going on. My cousin is just really, really intelligent. And I read it, and I said, well, some of this is true, but this guy's a lunatic. And, you know, I said a few things like that 17 years ago on the air, and I've apologized. It doesn't mean I totally, none of us are out about everything, but I know that you're really on to something.

But, I mean, first of all, David Icke is wacky. And allowing him to just, like, throw all this shit around about Archons on and just be like, yep, you're great. I used to think you're crazy, but now you're great. That's irresponsible.
