David Vaughan Icke (born 29 April 1952) is an English conspiracy theorist, author, public speaker, and former professional footballer and sports broadcaster. He is best known for promoting unconventional, wide-ranging conspiracy theories regarding a "global cult" that controls world events, which he refers to as a "New World Order" or the "Babylonian Brotherhood".
Here are the key aspects of David Icke:
Background: Born in Leicester, England, Icke was a goalkeeper for Coventry City and Hereford United before retiring at age 21 due to arthritis. He later became a respected BBC sports presenter and a spokesperson for the Green Party before a 1990 encounter with a psychic led him to pursue a career as a conspiracy theorist.
Core Theories (Reptilian Hypothesis): Icke claims that the world is run by a secret elite—often described as shape-shifting reptilian humanoids (Archons) that interbreed with humans. He argues these entities operate from a different dimension to keep humanity in a state of fear.
COVID-19 & Global Events: He has been a prominent producer of misinformation, notably claiming that COVID-19 did not exist and that 5G technology was responsible for the spread of the virus.
Controversy and Deplatforming: Icke has been accused of antisemitism and promoting, for example, the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion". His views have led to him being banned from Facebook and YouTube, and he was barred from entering the Netherlands and the wider EU Schengen area in 2022.
