For those not in the know David Icke is an ex professional goal keeper, football (soccer) commentator and "journalist/author", and Illumanati (sp?) wooist.
I've just watched a Channel 5 documentary on the bloke, which was somewhat frustrating in that it just allowed Icke a free rein to say what he believed in, with no challenges. In many ways, some of his points are quite valid; we rely on too many draconian laws to keep the populace in check, but all too readily he goes off on mad mind crap.
In the programme I watched he sited a number of predictions that he'd made (prior to the events of course) that had come true, now of course it's easy to post predict events. But now I'm being lazy, below is a list of stuff he claims he predicted, so the question is how many other events did he predict that didn't follow through and what is the validity of his predictions?
• "We can predict the power and frequency of hurricanes to increase after the millennium"
• "A psychic message said there would be a severe hurricane around the gulf of Mexico and New Orleans "
• "The plan is to engineer events real and staged that will create enormous fear in the countdown years to 2012. This includes a plan to start a Third World War, either by stimulating the Muslim world into a holy war against the West or by using China to cause global conflict - maybe both"
• "Between 2000 and 2002, the United States will suffer a major attack on a large city"
I can't help but feel this is just shooting fish in a barrel, but hey....

I can do that too. Hey, years ago I predicted that the Patriots would win three of five superbowls. See what a great psychic am.
