He also claimed he was the son of god, that the country would be destroyed by tidal waves and earthquakes, reality is a hologram, he's literally every lunatic conspiracy theorist rolled into one (that or he's a genius and making serious bank off other mentally ill people who buy into his stuff)

I think the scientific term is "fruitcake"

Maybe, but then I think you are assuming that he buys this stuff. Take a look at Alex Jones, he doesn't buy a word he comes out with. When he identified himself in court, it was as an entertainer.


Claims aside, there is no evidence to backup the claim of mental illness. If you know anything of schizophrenia, or psychosis, that can be ruled out instantly. A few minutes of watching him give a presentation sorts that one out.


If you still believe he is mentally ill, can you tell us the specific illness?

He stood by it in his depositio, whether he was trying to dilute it is hard to tell

He's either an excellent actor, or he has just followed on from his rage and anger issues that were around since he was a child

It seems to be a mixture of both. Like many conspiracy theorists he seems to know it's all bull****, but he's just making a ton of money from it

If you still believe he is mentally ill, can you tell us the specific illness?

Nope, when someone genuinely believes they are e.g. the son of god, it doesn't mean they are incapacitated mentally or suffer a specific condition e.g. schizophrenia, it just means they have some sort of mental delusion or extreme susceptibility to suggestion

I've met very intelligent articulate people who have no discernible "mental illness", but have been described as mentally ill (without definition) by psychologists and psychiatrists.

It doesn't work like that. Mental illness is not some loose classification that can just be thrown about. There are highly specific illnesses and very specific diagnostic criteria. Ultimately, its a form of brain injury, temporary or otherwise and the sources of that injury are varied. Everything from genetics, to poisoning.



For example, while Schizophrenia is widely known, it is also a very rare disease. It effects about 20 million people world wide, or about 0.2% of the global population.


https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/mental-disorders


There are about twice as many living with HIV. So, to put that in perspective, you are twice as likely to meet someone with HIV as to meet someone with Schizophrenia.


In the context of Ireland, with about 5 million people, you would expect about 700 people to have Schizophrenia.

Actually it is. Psychologists and primarily psychiatrists can diagnose someone as mentally ill without specifying a known condition. I have direct experience of this, I know several people who are receiving disability because of unspecified mental conditions and illnesses.

You're not privy to their medical notes. They will have a defined diagnosis. There is a legal meaning to 'mental illness' in Ireland:


"“... a state of mind of a person which affects the person’s thinking, perceiving, emotion or judgement and which seriously impairs the mental function of the person to the extent that he or she requires care or medical treatment in his or her own interest or in the interest of other persons.”"


The typical guidance makes references to ICD-10 and DSM-IV-TR.

I can only go by what the guy said. Sometime around 1990 he describes a range of events which are consistent with the claimed capabilities of microwave weapons. So accurate is this description, its unlikely to be anything else.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandiose_delusions

Grandiose delusions (GD), delusions of grandeur, expansive delusions[1] are a subtype of delusion that occur in patients suffering from a wide range of psychiatric diseases, including two-thirds of patients in manic state of bipolar disorder, half of those with schizophrenia, patients with the grandiose subtype of delusional disorder, and a substantial portion of those with substance abuse disorders.[2][3] GDs are characterized by fantastical beliefs that one is famous, omnipotent, wealthy, or otherwise very powerful. The delusions are generally fantastic and typically have a religious, science fictional, or supernatural theme.

David Icke has claimed that he is the son of God and later that he is "the Godhead".
He currently claims that he is leading the fight against evil shapeshifting reptilian aliens from the centre of the Earth.

Other common grandiose delusions in schizophrenia include religious delusions such as the belief that one is Jesus Christ.[10]

So you are watching Eastenders and they keep flashing an image in those 50 flash's of Freddie Mercury or Boards.ie. You never knowingly see these images but they register in your brain. Then afterwards the viewer would always associate those two items with Eastenders.

We live in a 'non entity banana republic on the arsend of Europe'. Our people arent allowed to design, manufacture, store, trade etc dangerous pointy things that might harm people.

I have no idea what David Icke knows. If he was going to make fantasy things up then perhaps he may want to make things up which could easily believed to be true and gain more credence, than make an unbelievable story up?

Go look for it. it's out there. I am not here to provide you with anything about anything.

I have looked. There's no such thing as a "method of brainwashing through the telly".

I think you are referring to the idea of subliminal advertising. However this has never actually been shown to be effective and is not even close to "brainwashing". It's not able and has never been claimed to be able to make people believe in silly conspiracy theories and it uses quickly cut images, not microwaves.

I could be wrong, but you have to show that.
Telling some one to "google it" is pretty much an admission of defeat.

Jeez I was first shown this 30 - 40 years ago and advertisers were not allowed to use it because I imagine it was so effective.

No defeat....you carry on you are doing well yourself.

But it's not effective.

Harcourt Assessment, which was known at the time as The Psychological Corporation, invited Vicary to repeat his experiment under controlled conditions. He did, but this time no increases in sales were shown at all. Pressed for an explanation, Vicary confessed that he had falsified the results from his original study. Indeed, five years later in a 1962 interview with Advertising Age, Vicary revealed that he had never even conducted the Fort Lee experiment at all. He had literally made up the entire thing. But of course, by then, it was too late. The headlines had run their course, and to this day it's a generally accepted fact that flashing brief messages onscreen produces a desired behavior, despite the fact it never happened.

Subjects watched television commercials, monitoring them for a message (the words choose this) presented at different levels of contrast with the background. Following each commercial, subjects rated their intention to respond positively to it. In Experiment 1, neither detected nor undetected messages affected these ratings compared with a no-message control condition. In Experiment 2, incentives produced higher ratings with detected messages; with undetected messages the effect was statistically ambiguous and only one-tenth as large. Unexpectedly, in both experiments commercials containing undetected messages were subsequently less likely to be remembered than commercials with no messages. The tiny effects of subliminal (undetected) messages compared with the large effects of supraliminal (detected) ones are discussed in relation to the hazards and difficulties of placing them.

Do you have something that shows sublimal advertising is effective, beyond vaguely remembering something you were told 30-40 years ago?

It's old stuff. Stuff that was played around with so long ago it may not be even relevant today with digital tv. But it was never allowed to be used so that may tell you something.

So being as it is 'old technology' you wont be finding someone messing with it as the old style tv's are long gone.

Who knows??? Well maybe you do as the world according to King Mob is to disprove everything even though he knows????

Jeez their is lots of 9/11 stuff and vid evidence by 'others' never mind David Icke.

Some of the actual vids and evidence is real eye opening stuff.

There isn't, the vast majority of it is completely spurious and unfounded (and designed to bamboozle and impress the gullible). Feel free to post in the 911 forum, we've been dealing with it for years

I am no expert on such but even I fail to see how those buildings came down the way they did and have never heard David Icke on about it.

I do have some engineering knowledge and know a bit about steel construction. I also know it is impossible to melt steel with just diesel fuel or solid fuel if not in a controlled environment. So all that stops there and David Icke doesnt need to tell me this if he ever did.

Old stuff that didn't work.
This was contrary to your claims.

Just because it was banned doesn't mean it is effective. I've shown you a study that actually tests the method.

Do you have any evidence that there is new technology that can brainwash people?
