Thanks for watching.
See you next time.
Bye.
and welcome to Right Now.
My dad, he will be joining me in the studio very soon.
Elon Musk has agreed a deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion.
The news has received mixed reviews.
You have the Virtue Signallers saying that they would have spent $44 billion To end world hunger.
They never actually say how they do that.
And they ignore the fact that the US alone spends $715 billion a year on bombing and destabilizing countries into poverty.
It's like anything these days.
It's not what's being done, it's who's doing it.
Which is why those very same people won't be chasing Jack Dorsey to end world hunger, despite the fact that he'll be receiving the lion's share of that $44 billion.
Then you have the radical leftists, the fake liberals, that claim they're leaving Twitter as a result of Elon Musk's pro-free speech sales pitch.
Now, if you're walking away from a social media platform because of censorship, I'm with you.
Every day of the week. But these lot are walking away because those they disagree with aren't going to be censored.
You must have a lot of faith in the legitimacy of their argument then, because nothing says I'm assured of my position more than silencing those that take an opposing one.
And then there are those on the so-called right, those that have in large part seen through the lies of the last two years.
They've seen that something more nefarious is at play, a greater agenda, a bigger agenda.
Plan a scheme, even a conspiracy, to enslave humanity.
Now they're overjoyed.
They're overjoyed that a man that sent thousands of satellites into space to drown the Earth in Wi-Fi, which is critical for the smart grid to work.
He's using his Neuralink technology to connect AI to the human brain, despite saying that AI will be the end of humanity.
And he's developing driverless cars where you can only go where you're permitted.
They're overjoyed that he will be in control of the biggest social media platform on Earth.
Really? Bond villains come in all shapes and sizes and some even smoke weed.
I wonder if he'll reinstate my dad's account.
Dad's always spoken so highly of him.
Talking of my dad, he's 70 today and he's here in the Right Now studio with me to answer questions that you've been sending in to celebrate his special day.
Dad, welcome to Right Now.
Thank you. I'm not 70, surely.
Won't believe it. It's not possible.
The amount of questions we've had there, Dad.
Tons and tons. And if we wanted to get through all of them, which obviously we do, you know, I'm going away in July, I'm hoping.
So we've had to knock that on the head and just use a few of them.
A lot of them were actually about the nature of reality, consciousness, but obviously all that stuff is in your books and it's also in your Nature of Reality series, which is here on Iconic.
But talking about your books, that segues quite nicely into a first question from Tanya Farmer in Australia.
Happy Birthday David from the Central Coast of New South Wales in Australia.
My name's Tanya and my question for you is about your writing.
You're such a prolific writer.
It seems that as soon as you write one book you've got another in the pipeline and I wondered what your day looks like when you're writing and do you have to forgo any commitments or any activities in your life in order to find the time to write your book?
Well, what a great question.
It all starts when I get the title.
Sometimes I'll be, you know, that half-sleep as you're waking up and I'll get the title.
But I know when another book's kind of coming towards me, when Information about the same kind of subject starts coming into my life from all angles.
In other words, there's something happening with the information coming to me that's taking it forward.
And I don't like, well I won't write books where the next one doesn't take it forward.
So I get this kind of feeling there's another book.
And the most intimidating time is when you sit down and there's a blank screen on day one and you've got to fill the screen.
And what often happens is I'll start out with a kind of idea of what the book's going to be about and where it's going to go.
And then This is one of the really massive areas or times when most of my information actually comes.
When I'm writing a book, information starts to come and one thing leads to another and suddenly it's going in another direction than you thought it was.
It's a process that repeats itself with each book.
The same thing happens every time.
And you start to get insights, because you, I mean, in terms of my day, if I'm writing a book, I'll be up at six o'clock and at it.
You know, there's postings for the website first thing in the morning, and then any emails to urgently reply to, but then I get into the book and I write all day.
And all of my books, I've been written between 6 o'clock in the morning and 6 o'clock at night.
None of them have been written in the evening, because that's when my body clock says, okay, enough.
I'm a daytime person, not a nighttime person.
And in terms of being proliferic, it's getting more so.
I mean, I've got a book coming out soon called The Trap.
Which you're obviously involved in circulating.
But the one after that's already coming.
It's like it's getting quicker and more focused in terms of the subjects.
But the book writing has been The whole foundation, everything else has come from that.
The foundation for gathering information and everything I do actually comes from the books, which are always there.
You know what I mean? It's something that's tangible.
You can't delete that? Yeah, once the book is circulating, it's circulating.
It's not like electronically where you can just delete it.
Thank you, YouTube. And the rest?
Yeah, and the rest, yeah.
So the books are very, very important to me, and they just keep coming.
I was going to ask you, actually, in terms of, because obviously if you're writing, say, like a fiction, you would have a start and a middle and an end in your head.
This is how this story ends.
It doesn't work like that, does it?
Well, that's an interesting point.
Where the story ends is where you get at the end of the book.
But my writing technique has always been the same.
And when I look back at my life, I was given everything I needed before my head blew off and I went in this direction.
And one of the things I was was a journalist.
And as a journalist, you are using as few words as possible.
I mean, people might see my books and think, what are you talking about?
But you use as few words as possible.
You also use words that people don't have to get a dictionary out for.
You know, some of these academic books, you know, you're halfway through the first sentence and you're going, what the bloody hell does that mean?
You know, so you start...
Looking at the dictionary. I don't write like that.
I have a technique I never deviate from, which is never introduce a new fact or a new subject Unless the relevance of it can be immediately understood by what's gone before in the book, or you explain the relevance of it immediately.
Because the way to lose readers is when they're going, Come again, you know, where's this fit?
So it's got to be A to B to C to D. And in that way, if you look at my books, they, interestingly used the phrase, they do have a beginning, a middle and an end.
and the other thing that if you look at my books over this 30 odd year period I never talk about the names, dates, places, conspiracy just one maybe the trigger about 9-11 but I never apart from that talk about the names, dates, places, conspiracy without the spiritual and the nature of reality because You know, one of the things I was just saying that has really kind of taken me aback, you know, you do something,
you put a book out, you do a talk, you do an interview, whatever, and then you go on and you do some more.
So you're always kind of moving forward.
But in this kind of period over my 70th birthday, I've seen a few clips and interviews from way back.
Yeah. And what shocked me is the consistency of the message.
You know, I'm seeing myself say things like decades ago, and I'd say them now.
I mean, I've learned more and I've learned more detail and it's expanded.
The basic message has never changed and, you know, that's comforting really.
Yeah. And it's interesting you say that because you obviously mentioned about when you had your head Blown off, basically.
None of the books would have come without that happening.
Chrissy's put together a wonderful video to explain exactly how that started.
Here's David Icke. Yes, thank you, and welcome to Bournemouth for the last time in the 1989 Piscina Windows World Cup.
And in this program, as you've heard, we'll see...
Certain things have led me to where I am now.
I went into journalism, which gave me the ability to write simply.
I went into television, which meant that when I came out with this stuff, Wouldn't just be completely ignored.
...200 metres, Robson de Silva in this, the fastest man in the world...
Going into politics with the Green Party and seeing politics for what it is, well, I didn't know at the time, but they were all giving me very, very important understandings that would be useful later on.
Martin Luther King talked about power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight.
They are the values that allow our societies to abuse animals.
I was in the Green Party and I was still working for the BBC as a television presenter and both were leaving me completely cold.
And to abuse the planet as well, in the name of economics.
I was looking at the Green Party politics from the inside and seeing that it was just like every other party.
And so I was, what do I do with my life now?
Because I can't go on with either of these.
And what happened was a very strange thing happened.
Because in the early part of 1989, I started having this feeling that when I was in a room alone, I wasn't alone.
There was such a sense of a presence there.
That I said into the room, you know, if there's something there, would you please contact me because you'll drive me up the wall.
Few days later, I'm on the seafront with my son Gareth, little boy then.
I go into this newsagent shop where Gaz was looking at one of the books.
And I said to him, come on guys, we'll go and get some lunch in the town.
And as I said it, it was like the atmosphere changed, like the energetic field around me changed.
And all I heard, it wasn't a voice, it was a very strong thought form.
It said, go and look at the books on the far side.
Right in the middle of these books was one called Mind to Mind by a woman called Betty Shiner.
She was a psychic. I wanted to go and see if she would pick up what the hell was happening around me for the last year.
And she's doing the whole, you know, hands-on healing just next to my left knee.
And suddenly the atmosphere changed again.
I felt like a spider's web on my face.
Now, what hit me was in her book, she said, when other levels of reality are trying to lock into you, you sometimes feel like a spider's web on your face.
Well, I know what that was now.
It's electromagnetic energy.
About 10 or 15 seconds later, she reels her head back and she said, my God, this is powerful.
I've got to close my eyes for this one.
And she starts telling me that I'm going to go out on a world stage and reveal great secrets.
I would face enormous opposition, but they, whatever that is, would always be there to protect me.
One man cannot change the world, but one man can communicate the message that can change the world was one of the things she said.
They're saying that you're going to be led to knowledge and at other times knowledge will be put into your mind.
So you get your head blown off, in your own words, but you're a part of this huge mainstream media juggernaut at the time.
Yeah, crazy stuff.
Yeah, and so obviously a lot of people have asked questions about that.
This one comes from Dylan Frost in Northumberland.
Hello David and the crew at Iconic.
My name's Dylan and I have two questions for you today.
Question one. After the download of information, have you ever had days when you woke up and said to yourself, this is too much.
I don't want to do this anymore.
Take this information away from me.
I don't want to remember anything.
Just like the guy in the Matrix.
And question two, without being morbid or passing a dark cloud over your birthday, and happy birthday by the way, when you pass from this world, do you think someone else will get a download of this information, or perhaps new information, to forward or continue the fight, kind of like passing the baton?
Thank you. When someone says I don't want to be morbid, you know something morbid's coming up, don't you?
Oh, look. Listen, I'm going to be here a long time.
Look at me, virile fit.
Look at that. Yeah.
I'm certainly, uh, did I ever have a moment when I thought, take it all away?
Never. It never even entered my mind.
Were there moments over a long period when I thought, Is there any point to what I'm doing?
Is there any point when I was going to church halls or village halls or whatever, and I would put the chairs out often.
I would talk to them.
There's no bother in them.
And then I would go home, poorer than when I arrived.
And I remember someone said to me at Liverpool University once, when I was doing a tour, there weren't many there, usual thing in the 90s.
Where's the money going?
Right? I said out of my bloody life mate, you know.
And so there were times when, you know, I had a great friend called Yeva, she was like a, like a Native American grandmother, you know Yeva.
Yeah, she was a lovely woman. Lovely, lovely, lovely.
And we used to go around Britain and I was talking and she would take the tickets, you know, it was a real mainstream big operation.
And we used to sit in what used to be called little chefs and happy eaters.
Do you remember them? The roadside cafes?
No one's happy when they're eating. No, they're not, no.
Anyway, but we'd sit in them during the day on the way to the next talk, having talked to nobody the night before.
And it became a kind of a bit of a joke, I'd say to her.
What's it all about, Yave?
And she'd go, I don't know, Dave.
This just went on day after day after day.
But you know something that happened?
Is that just when I was like, what is the absolute point of this?
I'd turn up somewhere.
I remember it was in Edinburgh once.
It was in Vancouver, Canada on another occasion.
And having talked to empty chairs night after night, suddenly there's an audience.
And it just gave you enough to keep going.
But in terms of, you see, once you Once you kind of see what's going on in the world, this is what I can't understand, Gaz.
The people that have come into this arena during the period that I've been around, and they might have been flavor of the month for a while, and then suddenly they're gone.
Where are they? Yeah.
You know, once you know where this is supposed to go, there's no walking away.
There's no, no, no, no, this is too much for me.
No, no, no, give me more.
And so there was never a time when I wanted not to do what I'm doing.
I just wanted to have more people listening.
Which they do now, of course.
But that's the power of keeping on.
Keeping on. I remember my father said when I was a kid, you're never finished until you sit down in a chair and you tell yourself you've finished.
Doesn't matter what anyone else says.
You're not finished until that happens and and that was that was something that you know came back into my mind a lot in those in those uh in those years in terms of um of of leaving this world um actually in the the trap the new book is um you know in part about all that stuff and what the heck is beyond this um and other people picking it up well Other people are picking up.
I mean, that's the point.
You know, people say, you are validated, you've been validated, all you said and all the ridicule and all the abuse and now you've been validated.
But it's not about the validation of me.
The validation, in other words, the understanding that actually this is real, it's not some theory, it's not some airy fairy pulled out of the ether, this is real because now it's tangible to people after the COVID era.
That's the validation.
That's what gives me such a buzz to go from being laughed at in the street Anywhere I went, you remember it, to being stopped in the street and talked to with respect and people just saying, you know, what the hell is going on, David, you know?
And so it's to see not just more and more people involved in the alternative media, because there was no alternative media when I started out, just a few individuals, that's all there was.
And to see the numbers of people, particularly in the last two years or so, where the pennies dropped, all the abuse, all the ridicule, all of it, every last frickin' syllable has been worth it to see that.
And so, by the time I leave this reality, you know, and I'm not going for a long time, We'll be sitting here in 10 years time, I'll go, I'm 18 now, right? And my goal is to leave this world With enormous numbers of people downloading this stuff and understanding it because actually it is our natural state to know this stuff,
to interact with those levels of reality where this information and knowledge is known.
This is our natural state.
We have been put in an unnatural state and that's what we're seeking to unravel now.
The coronavirus pandemic started in China Stage one, you create a problem.
It could be a manufactured virus.
You want a reaction and you want them to either say, do something, or you want them to accept what the authorities suggest must be done.
So one of the agendas is to massively cull the population.
