David Icke to present Sci-Fi Channel show Jun 30 2002

 

 

David Icke, the former BBC presenter who stunned the nation when he announced he was the Son of God, is to make a TV comeback.

 

Icke made an infamous appearance on Terry Wogan's chatshow in 1991 wearing a turquoise shellsuit which he claimed brought him closer to God.

 

More recently he declared that the world is run by shape-shifting 12ft lizards and accused leaders including George Bush and Henry Kissinger of taking part in human sacrifice and blood drinking.

 

Icke, 50, has been signed up by the Sci-Fi cable and satellite channel for his first TV presenting job in over a decade.

 

He will share his bizarre beliefs with viewers on the surreal Saturday night show Headf**k.

 

He said: "I hope I can pass on a few thoughts and ideas to the Sci-Fi channel to encourage people to see that they are living in a conditioned illusion and we can change it any time we want. We can be people and not sheeple."

 

Icke, a former Coventry City footballer and Green Party spokesman, was presenting BBC Grandstand when he underwent his unlikely transformation.

 

During his Wogan appearance he announced that 1991 would see Britain devastated by tidal waves and earthquakes.

 

He became a laughing stock but has spent the past 11 years touring the world giving lectures on his collection of conspiracy theories.

 

The new series of Headf**k will begin on July 20.

I cant believe the self proclaimed son of God is on the Sci - Fi channel. And I thought i was dreaming when I heard about his theory of 12 foot lizards trying to rule the earth. I hadnt laughed so hard for a long time. Glad to see someone else recognises the genius that is David Icke, also i believe he was writing a column for football365 but I dont know if he still is, sadly no mention of giant lizards in his writing on that website.

This isn't surprising, seeing as Sci-Fi runs that con artist Jon Edwards all the time.
