V

This was a spiral of discovery.

In any talk I give on the subject of David Icke, I like to mention that his, quote, revelation of the reptoid conspiracy theory comes after the release of the science fiction miniseries V, broadcast in the UK in 1984, and the John Carpenter cult classic They Live, 1988, both of which deal with a secret society of lizard-like aliens who control society and lack bubblegum.

Both of these inspirations are presented as fictional, But there is a precedence for Ike and many other conspiracy theorists for taking fiction as inspiration for conspiracy theories which they will claim as factual.

Any Atlantis theory is based on a fable that Plato tells in the Timaeus.

V,

watching that late.

Watching

the V

miniseries.

Yeah.

It all comes together.

Dance Decade 1984 The year Marvin Gaye is shot to death by his father A day before his 45th birthday My train journey got weird, as everyone was talking about the same two-part miniseries.

The groundbreaking V,

the miniseries.

They arrived in 50 motherships, offering their friendship and advanced technology to Earth.

President Reagan became the new evil emperor, unleashing a missile defense system codenamed Star Wars, and apocalyptic movie The Day After became the highest-rated TV film ever.

Problem was, nobody knew just how close we actually really came.

No,

I used to play V, and I always wanted to be Diana.

Play

V.

Of course you

wanted

See, I never watched that and thought I wanted to be any of the people in it.

Dude,
