The ever-thinning boundary between 'conspiracy theory' and reality

Why is it that so many things in the newspapers these days were topics of David Icke talks that we all raised an eyebrow at and thought far fetched just a decade ago..?

Here we go again.

The Daily Telegraph has an article about the viability of moving to a cashless society.

What the article doesn't say and as many of you should have imagination enough to work out is that, after such a cashless society gets introduced, your 'credits' will be linked to your biometric identity card...

...and then if you say or think anything outside of the Government's authorised line, they have the ability to switch you off.

Oh, but they wouldn't do that?

Naked body scanners, constant surveillance... come on, keep up.

This has all been floating around millions of internet "conspiracy theory" websites for years and years. We've all seen it. We've all read it.

Every day, the mainstream press has something, somewhere that it is just astonishing that, if read a decade ago on a 'conspiracy theory' website, we'd have all laughed and called the author a 'nutter'.

So why is it all seemingly unfolding in reality on an everyday basis?

Virtually everything that is blogged about by this blogger comes from reading one of about a dozen sources - the Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Independent, The Guardian, the Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Sun, The Observer, and the News of the World. Seldom do we look further afield.

And yet, somehow, it feels like the bizarre movie of a conspiracy theory text unfolding as a twisted, tyrannical reality.

It is just bizarre.

So, if you want to know what tyranny is coming next, read an old David Icke book or watch one of the videos of his talks on YouTube or Google videos before they close the internet down.

He seems to have been proven right on just about everything.

Apart from the lizards.

And even then, we can think of at least one politician who unnerves us sufficiently to make us wonder...
