Basic position involves a reptilian conspiracy theory that is especially notable for its antisemitism (the rothschilds) We have to ask ourselves whether his career as a writer would have flourished had he not been well-known as an athlete and then as a broadcaster. Now has a large following, sold 20 mill books. Most religions/worldviews include an aspect which could be described as theodicy. Nevertheless, the somewhat surprising development of this idea that icke presented in his next major work, the biggest secret (1999), placed him outside the mainstream of both conspiracism and new age thinking.
