Is purple the new anti-Semitism?

The world is full of people with strange ideas. David Ike, the former Sports commentator, Green Party activist turned conspiracy theorist certainly has some of the wackier ideas one can come across. His ideas are usefully (if such a word really applies in his case) summed up by Wikepedia who inform us that:

Icke introduced the reptoid hypothesis in The Biggest Secret (1999), which identified the Brotherhood as descendants of reptilians from the constellation Draco, who walk on two legs and appear human, and who live in tunnels and caverns inside the earth. He argues that the reptilians are the race of gods known as the Anunnaki in the Babylonian creation myth, Enûma Eliš. According to Barkun, Icke's idea of "inner-earth reptilians" is not new, though he has done more than most to expand it.

Icke has accused many prominent people of being "reptoids," including Brian Mulroney, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, Queen Elizabeth II, The Queen Mother, Al Gore, Kris Kristofferson, Boxcar Willie, and the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group. It is Icke's contention that none of these people are suing him for his statements because they are all, in reality, twelve-foot lizards.

Right. Maybe they actually know nobody will take such nonsense seriously, will they? Actually there are some it would seem.

Alice Walker, the author of The Colour Purple has been in the news recently for refusing to allow a new edition of her book to be published in Israel which she wrongly describes as being an "Apartheid state". She also believes that the world is run by the same shape shifting aliens of the David Ike variety. She is so impressed by Ike that she compares him to Malcolm X. Dunno what his followers would have thought of that since I know very little about the man.

Ms Walker reviews David Ike's book Human Race Get Off Your Knees on her official website she says:

What I was remembering was how he called our oppressors “blue eyed devils.” Now who could that have been? Well, we see them here in David Icke’s book as the descendants of the reptilian race that landed on our sweet planet the moment they could get a glimpse of it through the mist that used to cover it (before there was a moon). No kidding. Deep breath! Yes, before there was a moon!

and concludes

It’s an amazing book, HUMAN RACE GET OFF YOUR KNEES, and reading it was the ultimate reading adventure. I felt it was the first time I was able to observe, and mostly imagine and comprehend, the root of the incredible evil that has engulfed our planet. 

Incredible indeed.

Readers may be interested to know that these reptiles were created by "interbreeding" in the Middle East  and two of those key bloodlines are the Rothchilds and the Rockerfellers. Hmm, is he talking about Jews by any chance? Maybe the clue is to be found in another one of David Ikes masterpieces The Robots Rebellion (published in 1994). The Global Elite (Lizards to you and me, Jews in the minds of the dumb-witted) outlined their plans for global domination in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the hoax Tsarist anti-Semitic provocation published in Russia in 1903.

Purple according to Ike stands for Royalty in the form of the Windsors and the Queen in particular. She is the Queen to the Rothchilds..... I could go on about his rantings but they don't even make for a good laugh any more.

I wonder if the colour purple in Walker's book title has a deeper, hidden meaning? Of course not that would be a conspiracy theory wouldn't it?

Anyway must go. I hear the children hatching.

Shalom!
