WHAT IT IS, HOW IT WORKS, AND HOW WE ESCAPE ITS ILLUSIONS David Icke, according to most references, is a ‘conspiracy theorist’, although this feels a little too vague and dismissive. He has, in fact, dedicated the last 30 years of his life to investigating, researching, questioning and documenting “who and what is really controlling the world”. And I would argue despite his outspoken nature, he is most certainly misunderstood, at least by those who fail to listen. In his latest book ‘The Trap’, David goes deeper down the rabbit hole than ever before to explore and expose what he calls the anti-human agenda that is being orchestrated by a force beyond our reasonable perception, that has been manipulating and controlling world events, in what he describes as a virtual reality computer game. Of course, amidst such claims, David brings some fascinating insights into the nature of humanity, the history of the planet and the social mechanisms at work therein.
