Ex-Coventry, and Hereford goalkeeping legend and erstwhile (is that the right word in this context?) Grandstand presenter David Icke pours scorn on the media hyenas and in particular David Milliband:

http://www.davidicke.com/headlines/

It has been one of those weeks for me when a quote from Jiddu Krishnamurti, the Indian speaker and writer, came to mind many times: ‘It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.’ But that is what I see all the time – people well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society and as the quote in the headline says: Insanity is a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world.

We have had a story running in Britain for the last week or so about a football manager called Paolo di Canio. He is a former player in this country who went on to manage a lower-league club, Swindon Town. But then he was hired by Sunderland in the Premiership and suddenly what had not been a major problem and hardly ever mentioned became a national story.

Di Canio had made the fascist salute during a match when he played for Lazio in Italy and had described his political views in terms that he was ‘a fascist, not a racist’ in 2005. He has also said that Italian dictator Benito Mussolini was ‘basically a very principled, ethical individual’ who was ‘deeply misunderstood’.

Now in my world, although I profoundly disagree with him, he has a right to those views so long as he doesn’t force them and the consequences on anyone and there is absolutely no evidence of that. They are just his views and he’s a football manager, not standing for Parliament or starting a political movement.

The media storm over Di Canio’s appointment as manager of Sunderland in the North East of England was triggered by the resignation from the club in protest by non-executive vice-chairman David Miliband, the brother of Ed Miliband, the leader of the opposition Labour Party.

David Miliband resigned in protest at the views expressed eight years ago by Di Canio, a football player and manager who has done nothing to put what he believes into political practice. Miliband, the ‘man of principle’, wanted to make a statement (he is moving to America anyway) that he abhorred fascism – not least as a member of a Jewish Marxist family whose mother lived in mainland Europe during the Nazi era.

Yes, very principled. But wait. Isn’t this the same David Miliband, a British Foreign Secretary and former close advisor to Tony Blair, who supported the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq which killed and maimed for life millions of civilians based on lies?; is this the same man who taped his mouth and sat on his hands in the face of the ever-unfolding genocide against Palestinians by Israel when as Foreign Secretary he could have loudly and continually condemned and exposed what is happening?

It surely is.

The same David Miliband who resigned very publicly in protest at the views some years ago of a football manager who, to my knowledge, has never voted to bomb and slaughter anyone. I may not agree with Di Canio’s views, but I know which of the two has done most to put fascism into practice and who therefore is the greater danger to the world.

But Miliband will not for a second see this gross hypocrisy because he is well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

I get this warning:

I'll look into it. I did catch something earlier that some shenanigans were afoot by Google to divert people from viewing his material.

Always thought David Icke was a virus...

Lizards. It's always the bloody lizards.

Hello David  :bye:

Icke is a fucking loon.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I've posted the article at the top for those who have been neatly swerved away from the truthseeker by those dastardly Google employees, most likely the ones at the search engine's Israeli HQ in Herzaliya  :nod:

It's come to something when David Icke's views seem less hysterical than the national media's.

I don't buy the Lizard stuff. Icke has stated that BoxCarWilly (who's he?), the entire Royal Family and every serving US President is of reptillian bloodline. Bit leftfield I know but I think his grasp of geo-politics and exposure of corruption, including tirelessly pursuing paedos in the judiciary, government, police and social services is peerless. A real shining light.

Never thought I would say it, but David Icke has just summed up my views on the matter perfectly. 

Spot on. 

David Icke. What a guy.

Interstingly I agree with him.

Can't agree about the lizard business - but personally the sooner the sun comes out so I can lay outside on a rock for a few hours the better

Is David Icke and Dostoyevsky one and the same ?

I shall certainly monitor the situation.

I hate to say it but the "Son of god" has actually made a rational statement for once...I'm off the Sports Direct to buy a nice aqua marine shell suit so I can become one of his followers. :headhurts:

This just takes the issue onto another scale.

These puns are going to dragon

my sentiments exactly-on politics,Icke is a very insightful commentator.

He's proof that if you throw enough shit at a wall, some of it will stick.

Despite the lizards...

I'm not sure that someone who believes in 9/11 'truth' or chemtrails makes him particularly insightful. It puts him in 'Alex Jones' territory and that's not a good thing.

Not all conspiracy theorists theories are ridiculous.Believe everything you are told by people in power if you want to.He's spot on with the Miliband comment

Recognising that many conspiracy theories are utter nonsense does not mean you believe everything you are told.

Although he is bonkers his beliefs are no more ridiculous than religious ones that people see as normal.

The truth

The Milliband comments don't really fall under the remit of conspiracy. They just point out the obvious hypocrisy of his actions.

But I thought you did believe everything you were told, especially with regards to the current board. ;)

You got me!

Gecko verit

That's why I said "not all"

 :) Very good.

and me. PDC is just a football manager and has no authority whatsoever. Politicians though....?
Well, they are a dangerous breed.
