I read Icke's most recent book a couple of months ago. For quite a long time now I have realised that if the mainstream spend a lot of time and effort panning it then it is probably a good idea to see what they are going on about.
His theory on reptilians is very interesting. It is not just something that he sucked out of his thumb. There are many legends that have been passed down through history that talk of "gods" that interbred with man, almost always reptilian. If this was a one off "legend" you would be iexcused in giving it no credibility but when the same legends. accompanied by artefacts. appear all around the world doesn't it raise your curiosity just a little bit?
the ancient egyptians, mesopotamians, greeks and the like believed that the gods did interbreed with mortals. this was a way of promoting the divinity of kings and rulers- they were descended from gods and thus a cut above the rest of the population. it was a way of officially proclaiming the rulers as untouchable- preventing coups, overthrows, civil disobedience etc.
there is nothing about aliens from outer space, and the only reptilians are nearly always the 'bad guys/gods'. for example the babylonian sea dragon tiamat (who was killed by marduk and her body cut in half to make the heavens and the earth) or the giant egyptian serpent apophis (who is killed every day at dawn by the god seth) or the greek god typhon (who is defeated and cast into the sea by tartarus).
read the myths yourself and you will see how wrong icke is. and don't read some crackpot's paraphrasing of the stories- go to a museum/university website and read it a direct translation.
