I know libertarians and others who take Icke's stuff seriously. I sure don't. Icke's is really an old story of which there are many versions, one of which is the big secret of Scientology. Another version is described in the satiric novel "Illuminatus!", with the closest parallel in the Carcosa cult. They're also parodied in the video "Tribulation 99". Some of these ideas are given as revelations by persons channeling extraterrestrial entities. Possibly the clearest, albeit just as speculative although not as specific, development of such theories is given by John Keel in "The Eighth Tower". Most of these stories share the theme of "as above, so below" -- that, as in the Trojan War, struggles within humanity reflect and are connected to those of the gods, extraterrestrials, or other beings. Another common thread is an attempt to find a common cause of all "don't fit" facts -- Forteana, legends, synchronicities in human affairs; for many of these connections there's actually good evidence, or at least hypothesizing such connections is plausible. A great line in "Illuminatus!" is, "It is all partly true and partly false." Not, "Part of it is true and part of it is false." Rather, every such allegation is partly true (has a basis in fact), and partly false (is covered over by disinformation, distortion, and miscommunication)! The thesis of "The 8th Tower" is that there are intelligent "ultraterrestrial" entities which are able to interact at will with our space-time, but are not encompassed by their physical existence here. Some group among them produced the human race by some combination of technology and interbreeding with the physical forms they took. However, they have a tendency to neglect us for long periods of time. Some humans in the past learned their technology/magic, which formed the basis of religion. However, due to human intrigue and turmoil, the original keepers of such knowledge were overthrown, and their overthrowers may have been overthrown and so on, until the knowledge was so distorted that it is no longer effective. That is, people carry on religious practices but they no longer produce the physical results they did when they were done properly or with the necessary infrastructure, nor are their real purposes understood now. Fantastic tales from religions and other legends are distorted versions of actual events. Strange phenomena noticed these days are often produced by ultraterrestrials which, however, are probably not the ones who created and take (or took) a serious interest in humanity.
