FROM THE COMMENTS: LIZARD MEN

IN THE COMMENTS to my last, cryptic post, MR. TONY wrote:

Wondering if this voter was being funny or if he was in earnest voting for THE lizard people, rumored foot soldiers and/or potential rivals of the illuminati….

Comment by Tony Faulkner — November 22, 2008

TO WHICH I SAY: “YES, TONY, there is a lizard man.”

I DID CERTAINLY presume that the voter was speaking to one of several conspiracy theories involving the REPTILOIDS.

(WHY, EVEN THE “LIZARD PEOPLE” ballot has been referenced by the speedy Wikipedians. Thanks, SERENDIPODOUS!)

I FIRST CAME TO KNOW OUR REPTILOID MASTERS via Jon Ronson’s amazing documentary on David Icke, perhaps the number one reptiloid conspiracy theorist (in this dimension anyway).


(You can and should also read about Icke and others in Ronson’s ruefully hilarious book, THEM.)

NOW LOOK, I am not a conspiracy theorist. But as hilarious as Bearman’s post is, as one Wikipedian points out:

It is entirely possible that the “Lizard People” ballot will decide the composition of the US Senate for the next 6 years.

DOESN’T SEEM LIKE MUCH OF A JOKE NOW, DOES IT?

WHAT IS MORE, there are even those who claim that the REPTILOID CONSPIRACY THEORY provides the only possible explanation for this otherwise completely impenetrable joke.

ALL I ASK is that you think it over for yourself.

That is all.

PS: LINK FIXED

PPS: IT HAS BECOME clear to me that the YouTube page above links directly to Icke’s website. But I wish to be clear that I offer no such direct endorsement of Icke.

I TAKE NO POSITION on the accusation that when Icke says “lizard people” control the world he is actually referring to Jews. What makes Icke interesting to me, and what Ronson reveals in his film, is that Icke may sincerely believe either ridiculous conspiracy, or both.

AND RONSON CAPTURES one of the most wondefully ambiguous moments in documentary film when he has a drink with a bunch of well-meaning, if over-zealous anti-Icke protestors sitting around a pub, ACTUALLY conspiring against a man who believes in conspiracy theories. Amazing.

SO I’M NOT GOING to take down the embed, lest I be accused of being paid off in reptiloid coin. But I absolutely do endorse RONSON wholeheartedly, and encourage you to watch his whole film, in whatever legal way you can, especially if it compensates him.

That is all.

  1. Joke remains completely impenetrable, due to broken link.

  2. Has anyone checked with Daniel Pinkwater on this?

  3. Thanks for the THEM mention, it’s now winging its way to me via the U.S. Postal Service. I was particularly taken with the idea of the satanic summer camp for world leaders(something about President Bush worshiping at a giant stone owl really works).

  4. My esteem for Mr. Hodgman, already considerable, continues to climb.

    The Jon Ronson documentary about Mr. Icke is but one installment in a series entitled “Secret Rulers of the Universe,” and it is exceptional. It will challenge you, and provide irrefutable proof (if you required any) that Alex Jones is a dunce. (I would like to see Ronson revisit the “Secret Rulers” premise and eviscerate “Loose Change.”)

    But do watch the Icke episode. Its relevance will only increase if, as I suspect, Congress begins mulling hatespeech legislation in the coming four years.

  5. I hope and trust that we’ve all heard Clem Snide’s song, “The Ballad of David Icke.” It is not mandatory listening, but it is Good Stuff. Alas, I can’t find a respectable link for it now.

    “So she opened her mouth to the cold lizard tongue/that was speaking in code of the work to be done,/to make sure that the truthful are made to look mad/and the starving fed ashes for which they are glad.”

    This is not an endorsement.

  7. Are you aware of THIS?

    Comment by Lhyzz — November 25, 2008 @ 1:02 am

  8. number44–Ronson hasn’t directly dealt with “Loose Change” AFAIK, but he did record a piece about the similar 7/7 conspiracy theorists that you may find interesting, if you haven’t heard it. It ran on his Radio 4 series and on This American Life (http://www.thislife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=338).
