David Icke is right in identifying conspiracies that attempt to control the world, but I tend to think they revolve around the usual suspects such as the CIA and lobbyists and cronies close to heads of governments such as Bush and Blair. But - if you were to be running a global conspiracy of your own, wouldn't people like Icke be useful in discrediting other conspiracy theorists? If I were the head of the CIA, I would be paying David Icke for what he is doing ;) Another great work on false arguments is the chapter entitled The Fine Art of Baloney Detection in Carl Sagan’s The Demon Haunted World.

Jon Ronson interviewed David Icke quite extensively for one of his documentaries on 'Secret Rulers of the World'; it was extremely interesting. He also wrote about him in his book, "Them" - thought you might be interested. He is indeed an interesting, if somewhat barking character! I tried to read one of his books, out of interest, but it drove me mad. He's certainly prolific though. Hope you don’t mind me commenting on this - I found you via a link on your profile at Flickr.
