Agree 100%.
I met David Icke in Ottawa in 2013 at a court case, Canada’s formerly active Free Dominion and various individuals (including me) were being sued by a Canadian progressive activist ... Icke was called by a defendant to offer testimony about encounters but I was interested in sounding out views on reptilian life forms etc. I asked if possibly it was an allegory not a literal image and our conversation seemed to edge towards agreement, it was a spiritual realm allegory and also a literal factual concept for David Icke.
For me it was only an allegory. Difference? As of 2024, possibly zero difference. Allegories evolve into realities.
David Icke was patrolling a sector of spiritual reality and seeing a different set of images, compared to most of us, but I don’t know, possibly David Icke was more prescient.
(we did badly in court for any number of reasons, and Free Dominion closed down, its discussions continue on alternative sites)
I guess Free Dominion would be an ironic name now given outcomes of 2020 election etc. (it comes from Dominion of Canada, name of our country in better times)
