The Diary, Ken Sweeney - He has his finger on the pulse

David Icke: he's back and he's madder than ever

With David McWilliams now working for Aussie TV, The Diary has turned to another economist named Dave to give guidance on Ireland's economic meltdown.

Step forward former Son of God, David Icke. Talking to me this weekend from the US where he's on a talking tour, the former BBC sports presenter says he's only itching to get over here and ask a few questions.

He told The Diary: "The first question will be to your Taoiseach Brian Cowen: Where is the f**kin' money gone?

"I've been hearing about the Celtic Tiger and how fantastic it was all going but where did all the money go?"

Believing Ireland is "a land of farming", David claims things really aren't so bad for us Paddies.

"In this economic crisis, Ireland is much better placed to look after its basic needs.

"You should become selfsufficient because things are going to get a lot worse and soon we'll all be starving."

And if you are thinking of taking to the streets, don't, says Icke. "You see, that's exactly what the government wants: public disorder so they can bring in a police state. This is only just the beginning."

RTÉ's George Lee sounds positively upbeat compared to this.

Lets hope people listen to David this time.

Mr. Icke is quite right in questioning where the where the f*** has the money gone.
Another good question is where the hell is the money coming from? Borrowed from private central banks perhaps, with the interest on an ever growing governmental debt falling on the shoulders of the taxpayer.
Soon every government will be like america, so far in debt to private central banks that the entire revenue collected on income taxes goes to fund only the interest on the national debt (cited in the Grace Commission Report from 1983). Interest which profits only the private owners of the central banks of the world, and turns the rest of us into indentured surfs.

Why is David Ike "madder than ever"? It seems quite a sensible and likely prediction about the economic downturn and rioting. If anyone actually thinks that our governments are not heading towards a police state then they have thier heads well and truely in the sand.

I didn't hear any rebuttal on your part, there, Kenny. What Icke said makes sense. You've been robbed! (But don't turn to the Garda for help. They're busy protecting the looters.)

well never let the facts get in the way of a good story - for the record, David Icke has NEVER said he was the son of God - a fact that was acknowledged by Wogan on his recent 'Now and then' series.
Other than the fact that all the issues David Icke has been talking and writing about are happening in front of our own eyes the man's completely bonkers......

#7 Stephen commented, on March 13, 2009 at 3:46 p.m.:

Icke comes off as a nut job, but in this case he is correct. They need the people to rise up and protest and riot so they can bring in marshall law. Becouse when the world is in a state of flux the elite that rules us can use this to re-order the world in a image that is more suitable for the upper class. This is the NWO not a fictional conspiracy but a factual one.

YOURE ALL IDIOTS. HAVE YOU GOT ANY IDEA HOW RIGHT ICKE IS. IT SEEMS, AGAIN, THE MEDIA HAS IT WRONG. ICKE KNOWS THE TRUTH.

Ken,you say that David Icke is madder than ever.That's what journalists like yourself were saying in the nineties when David Icke warned that "the powers that be" were planning a worldwide economic collapse to create a "New World Order".This collapse has been orchestrated by the very same people that David has been trying to expose in his books for the last twenty years.Also,he is not telling people not to take to the streets,he is telling people not to riot in the streets.
If people had have listened to Icke over the years instead of ridiculing him we would not be in the state we are in now.This man is a real journalist unlike most of the so called journalist's in this country,Britain and the U.S. who work off the principal of "NEVER LET THE TRUTH GET IN THE WAY OF A GOOD STORY.

I've heard Icke talk about this stuff before and I don't recognise him at all from your article.

... and thanks for the snide "former" Son Of God jibe, we clearly see where you're coming from.

Take the piss if you want, you might not be laughing later if David Icke is even partially acurate... and by the way his track record so far is near 100% - You see, laughing at him won't make it go away... but if it makes you feel better while 'Rome Burns' laugh it up.

David Icke is bang on.
He is also one of the very few in public life prepared to look beond the manipulated news to see what is really going on.
Everyone else is afraid to step out of the herd and actually investigate the staging of events to scare us into accepting a global police state.
Our liberties are under attack in such areas as health (medical-pharma mafia), free speech (inside job stage "terrorist" acts), and now the financial crisis is being used to push for more global centralisation. Watch for the global financial regulator coming soon.
Where are the journalists willing to properly and independantly investigate 9/11 and the London 7/7 bomblings. The official stories on both are a farce.
