Jeff Rense ~ 
				Hi once again, everybody. A great program for you tonight as we 
				always try to put information up for you to entertain with and 
				to help expand your mind. Of all the extraordinary guests we’ve 
				had in the four years I’ve done this program certainly no one 
				has created more of a reaction from our listening audience than 
				England’s intelligent, articulate author and modern day global 
				Paul Revere, David Icke. David’s appearances here have 
				always left people talking and thinking and tonight we’re going 
				to go on another expedition into the world of government 
				coverup and control of the human mind with David Icke 
				who has been traveling half way around the world researching, 
				talking, and listening since we last visited with him. That 
				visit with David coming up in one hour here at Sightings 
				on the Radio. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ Welcome to hour two of Sightings on the 
				Radio. One of the topics covered here from time to time is the 
				issue of government coverup and we’re going to 
				take a close look at the highest level of research tonight with 
				a gentleman I’ve known for some time now, David Icke. He 
				is quite a fellow. Of all the extraordinary guests I’ve ever had 
				on the program nobody has created more of a reaction from our 
				listeners than probably England’s David Icke. He is, of 
				course, very articulate, eloquent, personable, charming, 
				sophisticated, and most informally, I would say.... well, he’s 
				fascinating. 
				
				One of the most mysterious aspects of our society as many of you 
				would agree, I think, is the control and conditioning of people 
				through the mass media. We’ve been talking about that a bit 
				tonight already and many other means as well. Few of us really 
				understand how that is done. The control of people is exerted 
				through the entire gamut of our social fabric from the mind game 
				to mass media entertainment, from TV to the movies. 
				
				David Icke, spelled I-C-K-E in case you’re wondering is a
				former BBC correspondent, an author and a 
				lecturer, and he is back again in the U.S. after a series of 
				seminars promoting his publications, his books most notably and 
				most recently entitled "...And the Truth Shall Set You Free"
				already tagged by more than a few reviewers as maybe the 
				most explosive book of the twentieth century. David Icke, 
				are you there? 
				
				David Icke ~ Jeff? 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ How are you? 
				
				David Icke ~ Well, after an introduction like that I 
				think I’ll quit while I’m ahead, you know! 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ Well, okay. We’ll see you next time. Well, 
				where have you been? 
				
				David Icke ~ Oh, my goodness. Everywhere. Since the turn 
				of the year I’ve been in eight countries. I’ve come into America 
				via Iceland. I’m sort of getting everywhere these days. It is 
				fascinating to see whatever country I go into no matter what the 
				culture or background is, two things are happening. First of 
				all, there is a spiritual awakening going on. Not a religious 
				awakening, but a spiritual awakening. People 
				are beginning to open their eyes and their minds to the greater 
				picture of who they are and the nature of life itself. And the 
				other thing that’s happening is that people are beginning to 
				open their minds to maybe the world is not quite what we’re led 
				to believe by the mantra messages that pound at us all the time 
				giving us a very narrow and I would suggest a very flawed and 
				distorted view of what’s actually happening in the world. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ These mantra messages that come out to us 
				all the time can take the form of advertising jingles to popular 
				music. They are literally wrote after a period of time. They are 
				memorized involuntarily by most people. They’re in there and 
				they influence people in ways that the average person would 
				never figure out. 
				
				David Icke ~ Absolutely. I mean, I’m sitting here in 
				Atlanta where I’m talking at two almost simultaneous 
				conferences. One is about mind control and Satanic ritual 
				abuse which people have suffered. And the two go 
				together because trauma is a tremendous form of mind control 
				including on a mass scale. It’s been shown very clearly that a 
				traumatized mind is much more open to suggestion so when we have 
				horrendous, mass traumatizing events like Oklahoma 
				or what we had in Scotland, Dunblaine, when the guy went into 
				school with a gun. That really does traumatize the mass 
				consciousness and makes them more open to suggestion. What’s 
				interesting that you can actually observe, Jeff, is it 
				doesn’t matter if you’re looking at... what we’re looking at 
				here, we’re talking about mind control and emotional 
				manipulation and that’s not an exaggeration. 
				
				What is mind control? It is getting someone to 
				think and therefore behave the way you want them to. Now under 
				that criteria virtually everyone on the planet’s mind 
				controlled. And if you look at the way it’s done. I’ve done a 
				hell of a lot of research in the last year into individual mind 
				control and stuff and that’s continuing here where I’m not even 
				talking but listening very intently to what other people are 
				saying and what people have experienced. 
				
				But if you look at what actually happens. If you look at 
				 
				
				MK-ULTRA and other mind control projects around the 
				world in the last few decades and you look at the basis of 
				what happens. You individually mind control someone by wiping 
				them clean of their sense of individuality, their sense of self, 
				their sense of uniqueness, their sense of filtering, their 
				sense of questioning, their sense of coming to their truth. You 
				want them to come to your version of reality. You then replace 
				that blank sheet of paper, if you like, with the personality 
				that you want which is a reactive personality which will react 
				to certain stimulae as soon as you provide that, the reaction 
				will be exactly as planned. 
				
				You go to the next level and you look at what they do when you 
				go into the military all over the world. What they’re doing from 
				day one is seeking to wipe you clean of your sense of self, your 
				sense of individuality, your sense of questioning, your sense of 
				uniqueness, your sense of coming to your truth. They want a 
				"Yes, Sir!" personality who will just start shooting at 
				people they’ve never met and have done nothing to them because 
				some guy in a cap shouts, "Shoot!". 
				
				And then you go to the mass level and exactly the same is 
				happening. We are being conditioned from birth to give up our 
				right to think for ourselves, to come to our own 
				conclusions, to express our uniqueness, and to conform to a herd 
				mentality which is basically a reactive mentality. If you look 
				at some of the mass mind controlling techniques 
				and emotional manipulation techniques, you’re 
				actually looking at stimulae which are designed to get a 
				distinct reaction. 
				
				And this happens all the time. If they can get you angry, if 
				they can get you resentful, if they can get you to feel guilty, 
				they got you because you’re going to react to events or 
				statements or things that happen in the world which they’re 
				setting upon a way that they want you to because, of course, 
				this is now a science, the manipulation of the mass 
				consciousness. This organization in London called 
				the 
				 
				
				Tavistock Institute of Human Relations which 
				links into Stanford and other places around the 
				world. Well, there’s literally just... looking at how the mass 
				consciousness reacts in certain circumstances so they know that 
				if that stimulae will get that reaction when we need that 
				reaction, we’ll just pull that stimulae. It becomes a very, you 
				know, cause and effect thing. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ We used to call it ’brainwashing’. 
				You know, you talk all the time on this program and wherever you 
				speak on our sense of uniqueness, our sense of filtering, our 
				sense of individual expression being perhaps the most important 
				thing as individuals and that’s the number one target of mass 
				merchandisers, marketing, advertising, whether they’re trying to 
				condition people to buy candy bars, buy a specific soft drink, 
				or vote for a certain candidate it’s the exact same technique. 
				It always struck me as rather sad that even in high schools or 
				even junior high or elementary schools, basic human motivation 
				is not being taught. I guess that would tend to let the cat out 
				of the bag. 
				
				David Icke ~ Yeah, and I think, you know, we’re actually 
				at the heart here of how this planet is controlled by a few 
				people because it has to be done through the mind and the 
				emotions because you can’t do it physically. It’s just 
				impossible with too many people. And if you look at it, what’s 
				happened is that we have actually out sheeped the sheep now. We 
				laugh at sheep when they follow the one out front and then they 
				succumb to the fear of the sheep dog and stuff like that. We’ve 
				actually gone one step further than the sheep because we’ve 
				dispensed of the sheep dog. We police each other. 
				
				This means that all you have to do to set the foundations of 
				running the entire planet in terms of its direction to be able 
				to control via the education system or what passes for it and 
				the mantra messages through the media and therefore on through 
				that to peer pressure where one conditioned group imposes its 
				conditioning on other groups because it’s become a crime to be 
				different. 
				
				And this sets the limits of normal thought behavior and what 
				have you in the world and because most people just follow the 
				norms like sheep following the one in front, the baa-baa 
				mentality and others who question the norms but are terrified of 
				saying so because they fear the reaction of people around them.
				
				
				That combination of the baa-baa mentality which accounts for the 
				majority of sheep and the fear mentality which accounts for the 
				minority of the dumb media they conform are exactly the two 
				states of being that control the mass consciousness and turn 
				five billion unique aspects of infinity into a two legged 
				bewildered herd which is what we’ve become. And then, of course, 
				you go one step further and you ask, "Who polices the herd?" 
				Well, the herd polices itself because in whatever area of 
				our lives we’re talking about, if you’re different then 
				you are inviting ridicule and condemnation for that what is now 
				a crime. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ You know, all you have to do, David, 
				is go to any elementary school and watch quietly and you’ll see 
				it at work. If one child acts a little differently, he or she 
				becomes the object of ridicule and teasing instantly. 
				
				David Icke ~ Exactly. Because it is the herd mentality. 
				And many teachers in the education community have not got a clue 
				that they’re actually not teachers but indoctrinators. I spoke 
				in Australia earlier this year and I was standing is this 
				lecture theatre in Melbourne waiting to start, just sort of 
				pondering and stuff, and it became very obvious. I just looked 
				at the scene. In front of me was a bank of people sitting in the 
				seats and the desks were right there writing their stuff down. 
				And I’m looking at a free energy machine called education which 
				just indoctrinates one generation with the knowledge of the 
				previous one. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ Yeah, let me ask you to hold it right there,
				David, if you will. We have to take our first break. Then 
				we’ll come right back and pick it up right there with my guest 
				tonight for the second two hours of Sightings on the Radio, 
				David Icke. I’m Jeff Rense and this is the 
				Premiere Radio network. 
				
				 
				 
				
				
				
 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ 
				We’re back and we’re talking with David Icke who is in 
				Atlanta tonight. A globetrotter if there ever was one. David, 
				you were into a story about watching people in Australia down in 
				Melbourne. Please go ahead with that. 
				
				David Icke ~ Yeah. I was sort of standing in front of 
				this assembled group. It hit me that I was looking at a free 
				energy machine, an indoctrination machine because, I don’t know, 
				about three or four times a day, someone would walk in front of 
				those people, students in a lecture theatre. And how many 
				lecture theatres are in the world. Millions and millions and 
				millions. And this happens in all of them everyday. 
				
				And the person standing there is a professor of something or 
				other who has become a professor because he has spent his entire 
				carrier telling the system what it wanted to hear otherwise he 
				wouldn’t have progressed to become one. He then gives the 
				assembled students of the next generation what he has been 
				indoctrinated to tell them. And they write it all down and 
				if they don’t tell the exam paper what he’s told them then they 
				don’t pass and progress within the system either. And then the 
				whole thing goes into the next generation and so on and so 
				forth. 
				
				So it’s basically complete nonsensism. My goodness me. At least 
				in the area of history are taught total total bunkom. It just 
				gets passed on from generation to generation. The pressure is 
				just tell the system what it wants to hear or the system will 
				kick you out. 
				
				And, you know, my son is fifteen back in England and he has 
				trouble with the teachers at his school because he will not be 
				indoctrinated. He does terrible things like ask them questions 
				and ask them to justify what they’re telling him he should 
				believe. And a few weeks ago I just sent a little note saying 
				why he had been away one afternoon and I said, "Maybe it might 
				have been good for him to get away from being indoctrinated and 
				told what to wear and what to think," because in this school 
				they sent around a letter to parents saying that for next term, 
				boys should not come to school with shirts that have two pockets 
				in them. They must only have one. 
				
				I mean, talk about turning out clones. The next generation. And 
				I mentioned in this letter that I thought an afternoon off from 
				being brainwashed might be a beneficial thing for him and the 
				teacher came on the phone the next day and talked to my wife 
				--unfortunately, I wasn’t there -- and completely agasped that 
				anyone should think that indoctrination’s going on. And twenty 
				minutes later after she’d finished explaining how the education 
				system works to a teacher, he realized that actually 
				indoctrination was going on and he hadn’t even thought about it.
				
				
				Jeff Rense ~ Hmmm. Well, you made a small chip there. 
				
				David Icke ~ But it’s... what I’m saying here, Jeff. 
				The point I’m making is that most people who are serving this 
				system of indoctrinization... 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ They have no idea. 
				
				David Icke ~ ... have no idea they’re doing it. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ No. They’re part of the machine and they 
				don’t see it. They’re standing right in the middle of it. The 
				issue of peer pressure, herd mentality. Honestly, in the last 
				couple of years, I have seen some things that are amazing to me. 
				What we are seeing now is a syndrome of almost mass mutilation. 
				I’m talking about the piercing of the human body. Nose. Tongue. 
				Lips. Other areas that you can’t see unless you’re at the beach 
				and then areas that you can’t see even then. If I see any more 
				people open their mouth with three or four studs in their 
				tongue, you know, I’m just going to roll out of here. It’s 
				getting to the point now where these people are absolutely doing 
				everything possible short of cutting off an ear. I don’t know 
				where it’s going, but that and tattoos and then they also have 
				something called branding which is actually the searing of the 
				skin. So where is this coming from? This self degradation. 
				
				David Icke ~ Well, I think that there are a lot of things 
				going on which even people who have researched into mind control 
				and manipulation don’t even appreciate. You really got to go 
				back into ancient history and pick this whole 
				stream of control up and I’ve done a heck of a lot of research 
				in the last year into this and I’m just about to start writing a 
				book telling the story from ancient times right up to the 
				present day. And you can actually chart indeed right back to the 
				1200-1300’s and a group called the Knights Templar 
				at the time of the Crusades. You can chart this 
				controlling force back quite comfortably to that point and 
				increasingly beyond that. Basically what you find is that there 
				has always been a level of knowledge which has been held by the 
				few and kept out of the public arena. 
				
				Years ago, centuries ago, it was maps of the world, for 
				instance. One of things that people didn’t realize didn’t 
				existed as I show in my books and I’ll show in greater detail in 
				this one. 
				 
				Christopher Columbus wasn’t 
				looking for India and then tripped over and then found the 
				Americas. He knew it was here. He was connected to something 
				called the Knights of Christ. His father-in-law 
				was a member of this secret society in Portugal which was based 
				in Portugal. The Knights of Christ were just 
				another name for the Knights Templar who had been 
				purged in France in 1307 by the king of France. By that time 
				they rivaled the Roman Church for wealth and 
				influence which history has kind of written them out. They were 
				fantastically powerful and indeed the banking system we have 
				today is pretty much come from their structure. 
				
				You also then follow another group of Templars who 
				got out of France and they went up to Scotland and reemerged as the Scottish Rite of 
				Freemasonry which today pervades the banking system, 
				the political system, the business system of the world, 
				etcetera. So right back there there was knowledge held which was 
				not available in the public arena. And this goes back to ancient 
				times. And some of this knowledge relates to mind control, 
				knowledge of what consciousness is, because the ancients knew 
				far more than we ever believed. 
				
				And incidentally I was in a church up in Scotland 
				a few weeks ago earlier this month called Rosslyn Chapel 
				and which was actually built by the Sinclair family which 
				became the Scottish Sinclair family, a family which are 
				at the heart of this Knights Templar secret 
				society. And you’ll see in the stone work and I’ve seen 
				it myself things like sweet corn plants and cactus plants that 
				were only found in America. And that church and that stone were 
				done considerably before Columbus left to quote ’find the 
				Americas’. So there’s so much in history alone that we don’t 
				know about. 
				
				This knowledge has obviously been passed through the upper 
				levels of the secret society network while at the same time 
				through this period of history we’re looking at, this same force 
				has created institutions in the public arena like 
				 
				the 
				Roman Church and various other institutions to take the 
				knowledge out. And if you look at what happened with the 
				British Empire and such like Britain and particularly 
				Germany and London, are at the heart at this global manipulation 
				at the secret society level. When the European people came to 
				America, they basically destroyed it as it was the Native 
				American culture. They took that knowledge out of wide 
				circulation. When the Spanish went to Central 
				and South America, they did exactly the same. When the 
				British went to Australia and New Zealand, 
				they did the same. When the Europeans went to 
				Africa, they did the same. Knowledge of many things were 
				taken out of circulation. And as it went out of circulation more 
				and more, the people at the top of the pyramid horded that 
				knowledge, and it significantly applies to the nature of 
				consciousness and how to manipulate it, what it is, etcetera, 
				etcetera. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ Are we at an all time low, David, in 
				terms of accessible knowledge vis a vis the mass of 
				humanity even though we have such things as the internet now 
				beginning to turn that around but in general when you are at the 
				mercy of the mass media in this country, is our knowledge base 
				pretty low? 
				
				David Icke ~ Well, I think it’s desperately low but 
				improving the more that people stand up and speak out which is 
				happening more and more now. And that’s fantastic. And 
				peoples’ minds are becoming more open. Not the 
				majority yet but more are becoming more open to other 
				things to try to explain the apparently unexplained things that 
				go on in the world. But, I think that all over one side is 
				played up against the other. There is in the Christian 
				world this idea that there is such a thing as good and 
				bad knowledge. So something that is different to the norm is 
				considered "the occult It’s the devil" when it’s just 
				the negative use of knowledge. Knowledge can be used positively 
				or negatively and we’re throwing out the baby with the bath 
				water here, I think, with some of this condemnation of knowledge 
				which is actually the way out of here. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ Yes, indeed. David Icke is my guest 
				and we’ll be right back to talk with David about many 
				things. We’ll be right back. 
				
				 
				 
				
				
				 
				
				
				
				
				Jeff Rense ~ David, in our first hour we had a 
				chat with Susan Michaels and a gentleman called in and 
				just couldn’t believe there was any kind of a conspiracy. I’m 
				not belittling that. A lot of people agree with him that there 
				could not be a conspiracy in the mainstream media to keep the 
				UFO issue hidden and to actually foment, perpetrate, 
				and underwrite a fifty year coverup. He said it would be 
				too big of a secret to keep. The average person doesn’t 
				understand that ’the government’, we’ll put that in 
				quotes, is perfectly capable of keeping secrets over long 
				periods of time and yet the evidence to sustain that concept is 
				overwhelming. 
				
				David Icke ~ Well, I think, I heard someone say today at 
				one of these conferences that governments don’t have to keep big 
				secrets because secrets keep themselves. They have to keep 
				little secrets. The reason the big secrets keep 
				themselves is because if you can condition into someone a 
				certain view of reality which is light years away from the 
				truth, if the truth does actually come out no one believes it 
				because it’s so far from the conditioned view of reality that 
				you’ve taken on. So big lies, big secrets, they tend to 
				take care of themselves because no one believes them. "Oh, 
				no, mate! That’s too far fetched!" The idea of the 
				presidents of the United States and leading politicians in 
				Britain are abusing mind control children as young as 1-2-3. I 
				mean, that is so far from peoples’ reality, and more than that, 
				so far from peoples’ desires to accept it, because it says so 
				much about the world and what have you, that people go into 
				denial about it, so the big secrets keep themselves. 
				
				I have come across actually, talking about the UFO 
				thing, an interesting quote which was given to me in England 
				just before I came out here and I haven’t had a chance to check 
				it. But certainly the basis of it seems certainly plausible to 
				me in my research. A quote by Henry Kissinger which a 
				Swiss delegate was supposed to have written down at 
				 
				
				the Bilderberger 
				meeting, this secret, semi-secret organization. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ Oh, I know this quote. Yeah, I know. If it’s 
				true, it’s a powerhouse. 
				
				David Icke ~ Yeah. About the U.N. troops and stuff. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ Pretty good, if you have it. 
				
				David Icke ~ Well, I will. I’ve got it here, but I think, 
				that the point I made a number of times when we’ve talked to 
				each other, Jeff, and I think is a vital one to keep ramming 
				home, is this idea of Problem-Reaction-Solution.
				Create the problem. Get the reaction. Offer the solution. 
				And I must say. I have started to look at this UFO 
				thing and I don’t have a problem with the existence of extraterrestrials. I mean, the idea that we’re the only 
				species that exists is so ludicrous. I mean, you know, come wake 
				me up, mother. Anyone can try and get us to believe that, but I 
				think the whole subject can be manipulated especially as we have 
				our pyramid again with knowledge at the top and the people in 
				ignorance of that knowledge in the rest of the pyramid. 
				
				And I think that particularly applies to the UFO 
				thing. And I actually started to look. And suddenly there’s all 
				this suppression of stuff, UFO’s and 
				extraterrestrials and what have you. And yet now 
				suddenly through Hollywood and other mass audience programs, 
				we’ve had the same prime time in Britain recently, this whole 
				UFO thing starts to come out. A lot of it has been 
				fear based. And, you know, Hollywood is one of the greatest 
				forms of global mind manipulation. I mean, you ask a lot of 
				people in the world for their version of history and various 
				historical events and they’ll give you Hollywood’s version. I 
				remember during the Fifties and Sixties when I was a kid, we 
				used to have cowboys and indians films on the telly every Sunday 
				and it indoctrinated people to a totally misrepresented view of 
				actually what happened in that period like... 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ You know, I’ve made that point before that 
				Hollywood is by and large responsible for much of the commonly 
				held views of American history. Hollywood basically invented 
				American history. 
				
				David Icke ~ Absolutely. And what we’ve got here is a 
				quote from Henry Kissinger that is appearing to be using 
				this UFO, this fear of an extraterrestrial 
				invasion etcetera, as a Problem-Reaction-Solution 
				scenario. Yet the problem, even if it is a manufactured one like 
				this, you get the reaction ’something must be done’ and if you 
				can get the fear reaction, then you’ve really got people and 
				then you offer the solution and as I’ve talked about and written 
				about many times one of the parts of the agenda that is 
				unfolding is the creation of a centralized world army and 
				central control and the Kissinger quote says this: 
				
				
					
					"Today Americans 
					would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los 
					Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful. 
					This is especially true if they were told there’s an 
					outside threat from beyond whether real or promulgated 
					that threatened our very existence. It is then that all 
					peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to 
					deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man 
					fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, 
					individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the 
					guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world 
					government." 
				
				
				And it’s a classic
				Problem-Reaction-Solution scenario, this one. And, 
				of course, back in the Sixties there was a report called 
				
				 
				
				the 
				report from Iron Mountain which was reported about 
				1966, it is said. And it was fifteen experts in various fields 
				that were asked to produce a report on how to centralize control 
				and manipulate the mass population without further recourse to 
				wars which is how it had been done up to that point. 
				
				And two of the things which they suggested was 1) a threat to 
				the global environment: global problem, global reaction which 
				allows you to offer your global solution. From 1968, two years 
				after that report was apparently finished, came 
				 
				
				the Club 
				of Rome which is an organization set up by the very 
				people who are running this agenda. And we had the environmental 
				thing all the way through the last twenty years which has 
				actually used Problem-Reaction-Solution to get 
				penned global laws and what have you and the fear of the 
				environment. Now I’m not saying there’s not any environmental 
				problem. My question is, 
				
					
					"Why are the 
					people who are funding and fronting often the major global 
					environmental reports and events like the 1992 Earth 
					Summit in Brazil... Why is it the same people who 
					are quite demonstrably dismantling the world’s ecology?"
					
				
				
				And another one of 
				the report from Iron Mountain’s suggestions was, 
				back in the Sixties now, a threat from an extraterrestrial 
				force and I think we could be seeing that scenario 
				unfolding here as this myth is created that we should be 
				terrified of extraterrestrial invasion which will lead us to 
				give all of our power away to a world war cabinet and a global 
				army to exactly as Kissinger’s quote says: to give our 
				power away in fear of what will happen. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ That’s a remarkable quote. Also the global 
				financial structure will be quickly retooled to underwrite one 
				basic financial currency and so on and so forth. This is all 
				coming. The debit card has now taken charge and is now rivaling 
				the credit card in this country. (David: Yeah.) Cashless 
				society. It’s not necessarily... it’s almost a natural evolution 
				when you consider the history of this world for the last two 
				thousand years and as you have pointed out so many times the 
				basic same people or same power structure is in place today as 
				was 500-1000 years or even longer ago. 
				
				David Icke ~ Exactly. And when people don’t do that 
				research, I understand it. They think, "Oh, come on!". But you 
				can chart it back. I mean, you know, it is there to be seen. And 
				I think that what is happening now is this awakening that’s 
				going on around the world and people are opening their eyes more 
				and more. I think this agenda is being pressed forward quicker 
				and quicker. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ A lot of people agree with that, David. 
				There’s a rush under way now to get it in place to create the 
				problem with as much fear as possible as quickly as possible. 
				Some people are suggesting it may be a combination of induced 
				earth changes. Environmental catastrophe could easily be 
				fomented in the media. It’s bad enough but then they can boost 
				it up. And then you introduce with holograms or hardware that we 
				probably have had for a number of years craft, ET 
				looking craft. It would be so easy to stampede people, it’s not 
				even funny. 
				
				David Icke ~ Oh, yeah. And if there’s anyone out there 
				who’s listening to this that thinks what you’ve just said is 
				ludicrous, I would refer them to "War of the Worlds", 
				1938, I think it was, Orson Welles standing in a studio 
				claiming to be at the scene of a Martian landing. I think it was 
				in New Jersey and all hell broke loose where he was supposed to 
				be, but wasn’t. And there’s no doubt in my mind anyway, having 
				talked to lots of people in various parts of the U.S. over the 
				last year or so, that the government do have what we call flying 
				saucer technology. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ And we’ve had guests on the program, 
				David, very recently that say we’ve had it for thirty years.
				
				
				David Icke ~ I agree with that. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ And what we have now is ultra advanced and 
				so forth and amazing quotes are popping up. We live in a wild 
				time. No doubt. David Icke, the guest. We’ll be back in 
				just a couple of minutes here at Sightings on the Radio.
				
				
				 
				 
				
				
				 
				
				
				
				
				
				Jeff Rense ~ And we are back and it is my pleasure to be 
				speaking to a friend of some duration, one of the most 
				provocative people I’ve ever met -- David Icke, author of 
				many books including his most recent best seller "....And 
				the Truth Shall Set You Free". We’ll give you the 
				number to order that book and find out about David’s 
				other products and hear of his other books in just a few 
				minutes. Jim is on the line now calling in from 
				Everett-Seattle listening in on KRKO. Jim, you’re 
				on the air with David Icke. Go right ahead. 
				
				Caller - Thank you, Jeff. Thanks very much. And 
				David too. Question about the 
				Problem-Reaction-Solution scenario that you just 
				mentioned, David. A lot of talk about these created 
				events that are coming that are prophesied namely through remote 
				viewing. And there’s a gentleman who has talked about a problem 
				in North and South Korea of probable or possible war. I noticed 
				the network news are talking about that and this guy -- I don’t 
				know if you want me to mention his name or not, but -- 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ Go ahead, Jim. If he doesn’t mind, we don’t 
				mind. 
				
				Caller - Ed Dames. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ Oh, yeah. Yeah. 
				
				Caller - Prominent, prominent remote viewer who talks 
				about the first use of a limited nuclear device in the North 
				Korea theatre as a result to spread mayhem and terror, and so 
				forth. And I just wondered if that sits into the scenario that
				David talks about.
				
				David Icke ~ It certainly does and I’ve been talking to 
				someone who would be aware of things that are going on in the 
				Middle East and he is absolutely convinced that there is a quote 
				’terrorist’ scenario there that involve some sort of an 
				explosion probably at the Mosque on Temple Mount -- of course, 
				that which held sacred by the Moslems but sacred by many other 
				religions too -- the supposed site of Solomon’s Temple 
				and Herod’s Temple and what have you. And, of 
				course, if something like that happened and it was put at the 
				hands of the Israelis then there would be a bloodbath in the 
				Middle East beyond words. And that would draw in Europe.
				
				Now we’ve already set the precedent here: 
				Problem-Reaction-Solution. We’ve gone from a U.N. peace 
				keeping into a NATO led peace keeping operation. 
				60,000 strong world army in Bosnia. And as I’ve pointed out in 
				talks with Jeff before. If you look at the main peace 
				negotiators in Bosnia from the start to the end of that 
				conflict, and I don’t think we’ve seen the end of it yet myself. 
				You’re looking at, whether they’re U.N. or 
				European Union appointed people, they are members of the 
				same organizations: 
				
				
				The Bildeberg, the 
				
				
				Trilateral Commission, the 
				
				
				Council on Foreign Relations, 
				the Royal Institute of International Affairs in 
				London. 
				
				And there’s nothing that changes society more than a war and 
				there’s nothing that creates fear more than a war. So I think 
				this Korean thing certainly fits in. And I think that the China 
				card could well be played because for a long time we had the 
				cold war and what was kind of funny, I just come down from 
				speaking in Iceland and I actually spoke in Reikiavik right next to the house where Reagan and
				Gorbochev met. You remember they talked about the 
				(unintelligible). Well, I’ll tell you what I found fascinating. 
				These people work with these energies and they know about the 
				
				
				Earth energy grid. They 
				know about astrological energies. They know about all stuff. 
				They never meet anywhere in anyplace at anytime unless it all 
				works out that way. And things like Freemasonic lodges 
				are actually built on vortex points on the Earth grid 
				and ley line points. And I’m speaking at this hall 
				in Reikiavik and on one side of the hall is the 
				main Masonic temple for Iceland and what thirty seconds walk 
				away on the other side is the house where Reagan and 
				Gorbachev met. 
				
				So this whole Cold War thing was actually a 
				setup to create fear on both sides. And I’ve talked to some 
				people who actually were staggered to realize -- on the 
				peripheries, nothing like the top of the pyramid of the 
				Intelligence community, but enough to be in on this sort of 
				stuff -- but technological transfers were going on through the 
				Cold War from America to the Soviet Union to keep the parity so 
				the justification for more arms spending and fear was there. And 
				then, of course, then came the point in this agenda unfolding 
				where NATO and the European Union 
				were doing this agenda to start encompassing the countries of 
				the former Soviet Union. So, of course, we 
				couldn’t have the evil empire anymore and this was part of what
				Recuvich was about. We had to produce Gorbachev, 
				a close associate of 
				
				
				David Rockefeller and 
				Henry Kissinger, to start smiling a bit and become the first 
				Russian leader who didn’t look like he had just come back from a 
				funeral and everyone sort of just got comfortable and the Berlin 
				Wall came down and suddenly the whole evil empire was 
				dismantled very, very quickly. 
				
				And then what has happened? NATO and the 
				European Union are talking about encompassing those 
				countries which basically leaves one major power left that could 
				be used as the Soviet Union was used before and 
				that is China. And I think that that and the fear 
				of the Muslim world which is an old one that’s 
				been predicted, actually could be played. Because I think that 
				what Jeff has said is absolutely right in that we’re 
				coming now to a point in this agenda where certain things 
				need to happen. People are waking up. 
				
				The challenge is coming into all this knowledge and actually the 
				agenda unfolding of what it is. And I think everything is going 
				to be thrown in the next few years to create and fear which will 
				just leave people in a position of where they’ll just say, 
				"Something must be done to stop this!" and they’ll accept 
				any solution. And that will be world army, world central 
				bank, world currency, world government, and a microchipped 
				population. And that starts the agenda. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ Alright. Coming up on a break. Jim’s 
				going to hang on. We’ll give you another shot here (David: 
				Thanks. Jeff Rense ~ Sure) right after this three minute 
				timeout here at Sightings on the Radio. My guest, 
				David Icke, and we’ll be right back in just a couple moments 
				so stay with us. 
				
				 
 
				
				
				 
				
				
				Jeff Rense ~ Okay. We are back. Let’s go back up to 
				Jim in Seattle listening in on KRKO. Go ahead. 
				One more question, Jim, if you like. 
				
				Caller - Thank you. David, we’ve just got a few 
				minutes here and maybe take time after the break here at 8:00 
				and go on with this question, I hope, if you talk about it. I’ve 
				heard you speak about 
				 
				
				the Federal Reserve (David: 
				Yes.) in the United States and the unique way that it mystifies 
				and hoodwinks the American public but especially when you talk 
				about in your unique way the national debt or the budget debate 
				as being nothing more than fresh air. And if you could elaborate 
				on that at great length I think the people listening would 
				benefit. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ You know, why don’t we do this. Let’s do 
				that money story. It’s a lengthy story as Jim said. We’re 
				gonna start on it now, but you’ve got some great lines, David, 
				and that’s really the mechanism by which this whole thing is 
				held together and manipulated. It’s money and the fact that 
				every individual needs it. 
				
				David Icke ~ Yeah. I tell ya, and we go back to what we 
				were talking about teachers earlier. I spoke in Vancouver 
				earlier this year and when I was talking about this I noticed 
				one guy got up and left at the back of the theatre. And after I 
				was finished the guy who put up the whole meeting, he said, "You 
				upset a friend of mine." I said, "Really? In what way?" He said, 
				"When you were talking about the money, and how money didn’t 
				exist, and what a great con it was, and that we’re actually 
				paying interest on fresh air, he walked out because he said it 
				doesn’t work like that." And I said, "How does it work?" And he 
				couldn’t really tell me. He says, "But I’ll tell you what that 
				guy does for a living. He’s an economist. He’s advising 
				people on the economy and on money etcetera in Vancouver 
				everyday." 
				
				And he doesn’t know how money’s created. We’re told first of all 
				that governments print money. That’s the thing we’re led to 
				believe. They don’t. Money’s created in a very simple way. 
				It’s by private banks owned by the same people issuing non 
				existent money called credit. And so you go to a bank and 
				they’ll give you a loan, say a hundred grand, but all they do at 
				that point is not print any paper or mint any coins or move any 
				precious metals a single inch. They just type into your account 
				$100,000. That’s all they do. So from that moment on you’re 
				paying interest on $100,000 that’s just figures on a screen. And 
				what we’ve actually done is give complete control over the 
				creation of money to private banks, which as I show and as 
				others have shown, are actually under control by the same 
				people. 
				
				Now if you look, what is the difference between a boom and a 
				bust, it’s one thing. During a boom there’s abundance, jobs, 
				etc. That’s when there’s enough units in circulation to allow 
				economic activity to take place that allows that to happen. When 
				we have a bust or depression, the only difference between that 
				and a boom is the number of units of exchange in circulation is 
				far less therefore there’s not enough money to go around to 
				exchange for goods and services and create that economic 
				activity. The people who decide how many units of exchange are 
				in circulation or not, in other words whether we have a boom or 
				a bust, are those banks who decide if they’re going to let lots 
				of loans go at low interest or not many loans at high interest. 
				And, of course, the Federal Reserve, this European 
				owned fascist organization, set interest rates in this country. 
				So basically, you have a boom. You get people in debt and all 
				that stuff. And then you have a bust and you reap all the wealth 
				of all the bankruptcies and what have you. The real wealth. 
				Land. Buildings. Businesses. And you get that in exchange for
				fresh air. 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ And then you set it up and start all over 
				again. When we continue David Icke will talk about how 
				banks can loan money. And you say banks can’t loan more money 
				than they have on deposit, can they? Well, we’re going to talk 
				about fractional banking and all of that as we continue here at 
				Sightings on the Radio here tonight with England’s David Icke. 
				And we’ll be back after the news. 
				
				 
				 
				
				
				 
				
				
				
				
				Jeff Rense ~ And we are back, talking with England’s
				David Icke whose book "...And the Truth Shall Set You 
				Free" is considered to be a very dangerous book by some 
				people. We were talking about banking and the money game and it 
				is the biggest and probably oldest game there is. When you go 
				into a bank and ask for a loan and you qualify, whatever 
				qualify means anymore, you’re given a certain amount of 
				money. But are you? Are you given anything? No. Simply digits 
				are changed in your bank account so to speak or a check is cut 
				to you. Again all numbers. What are the rules, the alleged 
				rules, David, that a bank has to follow in order to make 
				loans to the public about money on deposit and assets and so 
				forth? 
				
				David Icke ~ Well, there is virtually none now. I mean, 
				as a rule of thumb, you could say that they have to have ten 
				percent of what they loan but in truth they often need far less 
				than that. We go back to this whole scenario. The Knights 
				Templar and the 1200-1300’s, they started loaning people 
				money that didn’t exist and then charging interest on it. Going 
				back that far. You can go back to Babylon and the 
				ancient world and find the same thing. 
				
				And it’s always been used as a form of control because if 
				you can get people in debt, you have got them under control. You 
				can have companies all over the world, and small businesses 
				particularly, having to pay back interest on money that doesn’t 
				exist, loans to the bank to keep the businesses going then you 
				are for a start inflating the price of every single product that 
				is sold because everyone in the production process of that 
				product, from making it, to transporting it, to marketing it, to 
				selling it, is adding extra to their cost to service interest on 
				money that doesn’t exist which they borrowed. So that
				combination of people in debt and higher prices than 
				necessary means you’re pressuring people to serve your system to 
				earn the money to pay these prices you’re inflating and this 
				debt that you’re creating. 
				
				And this can be seen in America and all over the world at the 
				government level where fantastic amounts of taxpayers’ money 
				every year is going straight into the coffers of the 
				Federal Reserve banks to pay back interest on fresh 
				air. People go hungry and people go homeless. I mean, this 
				is such a con it’s unbelievable. It’s possible because America, 
				like Britain, is a one party state. If you at whether the 
				Republicans or whether the Democrats are in, or the Labor or 
				Conservative in Britain, the same agenda keeps unfolding. 
				And this agenda is for the global centralization of power at a 
				very, very complete level. And fundamental to that is control of 
				money because that controls peoples’ ability to purchase, 
				ability to live their lives. 
				
				So if you go back to the time of William of Orange in 
				Britain who was brought over to be king of England by a 
				secret society among others called the Orange 
				Order from Holland, when it’s the Orange Order who is 
				very much involved in the conflict, and what have you, in 
				northern Ireland to this day. And what William of Orange 
				was brought over to do was to create the Bank of England. 
				And he signed a charter. I think it was in 1964. And this 
				banking system started to motor. And the Federal Reserve, 
				of course, as it has been well documented, was actually created 
				by European bankers not least the  
				
				
				House of Rothschild. 
				
				
				
				And what governments can do because they’re the government is 
				print its own money interest free and put it into circulation 
				interest free so that money takes on its positive aspect which 
				is as a unit of exchange for exchanging contributions to 
				society. What happens, however, because the people that are 
				controlling the politicians own the banks. Governments borrow 
				money from private banking cartels and pay interest on it. 
				
				’All this interest....this national debt.’ Excuse me? It’s 
				fresh air. It doesn’t exist. ’We must reduce the deficit.’ 
				There is no deficit. It’s fresh air. It’s a complete con. And 
				what has happened, of course -- you just look at the Presidents 
				of the United States as an example -- you need kookooland 
				amounts of money to run for President. Who provides that money? 
				The people that run the banking and business community are the 
				same people and you get paid by the piper. You dance to his tune 
				when you’re in office so this legislation has gone on being 
				passed over the few centuries which allows banks to lend what 
				they don’t have. Very simple example... 
				
				Jeff Rense ~ How do you phrase it, David, "Never 
				did.." You’ve got a great line. The money line. "Never did 
				exist. Doesn’t now." 
				
				David Icke ~ Oh yeah. We are up to our necks in debt on 
				money that has never, does not, and will never exist. And if 
				anyone doesn’t believe that a few people can’t control the 
				world, they should just look at the power we have given these 
				bankers over the control of our lives. We’re in a situation 
				where the politicians have passed legislation that allows banks 
				to lend fresh air, money they don’t have and get rewarded for it 
				and if you look at the way it’s unfolded over the years. It 
				means because of this turkey shoot idea whereby you create a 
				boom, you get people into debt, you get governments into debt, 
				you get individuals and businesses into debt. 
				
				And people say, "Oh, it’s boom time. Well, I’ll have a bigger 
				car, bigger house. We’ll have two holidays this year cause 
				things are going well. I haven’t got the money, but things are 
				going well. I’ll be able to service the debt so we’ll just have 
				a loan." And then businesses say, "There’s all this kind of 
				economic activity. People want to buy our products. There’s lots 
				of money in circulation. We’ll borrow more from the bank to get 
				better machinery and then we’ll increase production." 
				
				 
				
				And then 
				at that point the people who put the money into circulation, 
				take it out again. They stop making as many loans. They make 
				sure interest rates go up and 
				 
				
				the Federal Reserve,
				I repeat, has complete control of that. And basically 
				units of exchange are taken out of circulation. People haven’t 
				got the same amount of money to spend. Economic activity falls. 
				The demand for products falls. But those loans which have been 
				taken out during the boom time still have to be serviced and not 
				only that the interest rates you’re paying on them now are 
				higher. So people go bankrupt. People lose their money. People 
				lose their businesses. And the banks get all that wealth that 
				does exist. 
				
				This boom-bust con which the economists on the big CNN 
				say, "This is just this point on the economic cycle. It’s very 
				natural." It’s complete manipulation. It means the real wealth 
				of the world has been sucked to the top of the pyramid which is 
				why the real wealth of the world is owned by so few people. And 
				so we’re in a situation now where we’ve given complete control 
				over whether we have a boom or a bust to a handful of people who 
				run the global banking system and the global political system 
				and the transnational corporations. 
				
				And I just say to people, "If you think this is all nonsense and 
				actually money does exist and this is all not happening, then 
				you try en masse tomorrow morning taking out of the bank what 
				you theoretically have on deposit. If everyone in the world 
				tried to take out tomorrow the money they theoretically have on 
				deposit in the banks they’d be slamming the doors at half past 
				nine because they have not got it. And yet that’s the debt that 
				we’re up to our neck in. And that’s what the third world debt 
				is. The third world debt which is crucifying 
				environmentally and in human terms what we call the third world 
				is debt on money that has never, does not, and will never exist.
				
				
				Jeff Rense ~ That may be the most insidious of all the 
				debt structures, what is happening to the third world. I know 
				people who live in Brazil and are Brazilian tell 
				me that Brazil is not owned by Brazilians anymore, it’s owned by 
				the transnational corporations.
