The first book I read by David Icke was called "Robot's Rebellion," in which among other things he talked about themes he has developed in far greater detail since that book. The most salient theme in my view is that we are controlled, programmed, like robots, by the "controllers," the conspiracy, whatever you want to call it, the people who really run the show in this crazy world.
One point that struck me from "Robot's Rebellion," and his next book, "And The Truth Shall Set You Free," is that not only are we controlled on a physical level, but perhaps more powerfully, we are controlled by some "inter-dimensional,"lower astral force, that deceives us into thinking that we are powerless physical beings.
Let me say that the "And The Truth..." is maybe the best conspiracy book I've read. "Children of the Matrix" follows these same themes, but is a quantum leap in the level and amount of material Icke presents the reader. One of the many themes in this book, really the starting point, is the author's view that, just as the movie "The Matrix" depicts, we live in a world which is a self-created illusion where we limit our perceptions to what we are told is reality.
Whereas in his earlier books Icke was only able to imagine a controlling interdimensional force manifesting itself in the physical, he now has assembled a staggering amount of documentation to prove his assertion. And the reader should beware, esp. if he/she is squeamish, because Icke makes a convincing case that the controllers are what he calls "Nordics," but far more powerful, reptilian races. Icke calls these reptlians the "Annunaki," a la Sitchin (The Twelfth Planet," etc.).
While he agrees with Sitchin that the human race was probably created by these "ET's" (and others) mixing their genes with those of some ape-like
creature, Icke takes Sitchin on on precisely the point that our creators are reptilians. The author contends that the reptilian race(s) have controlled
humanity from its inception, but more importantly, still do today. And this is where the story gets really "harrier," because Icke claims, and again he's got proof, whether you believe it or not, that many of the world leaders are reptilians, they shapeshift, and worst of all, they perform many Satanic rituals, most horrifically sacrificing children, whose blood is the purest available for their consumption!
For those who want another reference on this topic that I find credible, read "The Frankin Cover Up," by an ex-Nebraskan state senator. Icke doesn't mince words or attempt to mitigate his accusations, for sure. It seems that some of the controllers are trying to suppress his freedom of speech, and this is not surprising!
As a peon who operates at a very low level of the pyramid, it's hard for me to know whether "Children of the Matrix" is accurate. But I do recommend the book highly, especially if you enjoy looking through an author's references. There are many fascinating sources, some ancient texts or books about ancient texts by brilliant authors, others brave souls in our time who have come forward to tell the world about some of what is really going on behind the scenes.
One point I do not agree with Mr. Icke on is that everyone in the world lives under a monolthic dictatorship - this I know from first-hand experience. He presents a very simplistic view that we in the US live under the same dictatorship as the Chinese. Yes, we are controlled, but no way is it the same for everyone, and it's a good practice to be grateful for the things we do have (even if it's just crumbs!).
