The Robots' Rebellion The Story of the Spiritual Renaissance David Icke Books

This is the first book I have read by David Icke, and I did my best to approach it with an open mind. I have to say that I have found aspects of his arguments surprisingly compelling. His claims about the marvels and fall of Atlantis and ancient extraterrestrial in human evolution and affairs, while highly speculative, are cogently argued and intriguing, and, despite some reservations I have, I can see some logic behind his arguments in favor of the existence of the secret cabal he calls "the Brotherhood" that has dominated numerous world events, countries, and "secret societies" for thousands of years. He makes some particularly strong points about how modern societies run on overconsumption and how this is ultimately unsustainable; Chapter 11, "Big is Beautiful," and Chapter 12, "The New World Order," are particularly strong in this regard.

Perhaps the strongest part of the book is Chapter 16, "The Politics of People," in which Icke lays out a program for the de-centralization of political and political power through greater individual and community control. His argument here for bringing welfare services under the control of local communities is supported by his correct assertion that ruling classes have centralized these services and then "squeezed" -- that is, cut -- when beneficial to do so.

My biggest disagreements with the author are his wholesale disparagement of religion and Freemasonry. While he does lay out a number of very valid criticism of the uses to which people have, over the centuries, put religion, I would argue that these are things are perversions of religion and not inherent in religion itself. I am also skeptical of certain claims that he makes based on "channeled" information, such as the odd notion that Joseph of Arimathea was the biological father of Jesus and that Jesus not only married and had children with Mary Magdalene, but also likely impregnated Martha, whom he incorrectly identifies as Mary Magdalene's sister.

Regarding Freemasonry, he implicitly treats it as a single, monolithic organization, which any Freemason can tell you it is not. Yes, there have been Masons in powerful social and political positions who have done dastardly things, but they were acting in violation of Masonic principles, not in honor of them. Again, he confuses a perversion of something with the thing itself.

Finally, scattered through the book are a number of minor inaccuracies, such as Icke's statement that President Woodrow Wilson took office in 1909 (he actually took office in 1913) and that Bill Clinton was a "Thirty-third Degree Mason." In fact, Bill Clinton, despite having belonged to the Mason-sponsored DeMolay boys' organization as a youth, never actually became a Mason. However, I take Icke's own point that one should not, in recognizing such inaccuracies, fail to recognize the elements of a work that are true or at least plausible.

On the whole, this is a thought-provoking read and, though discussing ETs to some extent, does not get into the more lurid concepts for which Icke became famous -- or notorious, depending on one's viewpoint.

The Robots' Rebellion The Story of the Spiritual Renaissance David Icke Books Reviews

Sit down and put your seat belt on with Icke!!! This is an early book and not as far-fetched as his later tomes which also are much longer and complex. Worth a read if you are bored.
This is the most eye-opening book I've ever read, proving indeed that the truth is stranger than fiction. Of course, many will view this book as pure -- if not clever and manipulative -- fiction and nothing more. Close-minded intellectuals (not an oxymoron believe it or not!), historians and scientists will laugh this book off with their usual knee-jerk ridicule and debunkery, probably claiming that it only adds fuel to conspiracy theorists' fire. (In most conspiracy theories isn't there always a grain or two of truth?)
The religious right will be shocked beyond belief at what David Icke has to say about organized religion, because he reveals what it is and has always been mind control and subjugation of the masses wrought by fear and intimidation. The countless crimes of murder, genocide and torture committed in the name of Religion has always been in the backs of any reasoned person's mind, but never before has the damage been so concisely and powerfully revealed. Not only that, but Icke shows just how much each religion (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism) has borrowed from myths and beliefs that came before, and how they are conveniently modified to fit the times and the culture. Heresy! No, a very, very painful truth. Icke notes that people can generally be divided into two factions fanatics (many of whom are scientists!) and true thinkers (many of whom were religious). Nothing is ever as simple as it looks.
Most of this book unfolds as a brief history of world as it should be told, and opens by explaining our (the Human Race's) reason for being here and our true spiritual nature. Icke doesn't waste any time in mentioning that Extraterrestrials, both good and bad, physically and remotely have been involved in our planet for tens of thousands of years. He also explains that the evil we see around us is the result of what he calls the "Luciferic Consciousness" -- a negative energy that has been seeking sustenance (mostly here on Earth) ever since it "broke" from the original Creation Consciousness. Along with this, Icke details the rise of the secret brotherhood societies (yeah, the Freemasons, Illuminati, etc.) and their control and manipulation of nearly everything that has happened in the past 3000 years -- perfect vessels for incarnations of the Luciferic Consciousness. The lower minions of these societies frequently have good intentions and are nothing more than pawns. Then, considering the Brotherhood's plans for a New World Order and their numerous trump cards to play human implants, staged world economic collapse and/or alien invasion, etc., and you would think all hope is lost.
But not everything in this book is "bad news". Icke makes a powerful case against racism and nationalism by observing that we all have lived previous incarnations as people of differing creeds and colors, and this makes it all the more pointless to buy into hate, segregation or supremacy. Icke offers many simple and hopeful solutions that could swiftly turn the odds in the favor of humanity. He also explains what is currently happening regarding our coming, rapid spiritual evolution, and that the negative energies will eventually lose this pointless, miserable battle. So there's reason for hope. See you in the Photon Belt!
I must admit, I am one of those people who have questioned everything in my life and have come to conclusions that feel balanced in my heart. David seems to have come to many of the same conclusions as I have over a myriad of topics. If you would like to read about "true" history as he and others he mentions have researched it, then read not only this book but his many others. It is best, if you have not read any of David Ike's books, that your read them in earliest to latest to see how often he has been basically correct in his hypothesis as to where humanity and situations were/are headed.
You should sit down before you fall over laughing....that's a quote from the kindle ebook and I am not sure if I want to do that after reading the book.

The book makes perfect sense to me for all the life experiences I have had to-date. I continuously ask questions...could this be true...what if this was true...so many of my questions have now been answered in this brilliant book. It should be called the Real meaning of Life on this planet.

There is a great section in the book that talks about what a business should write for their mission statement to thrive in the New World. Like and I quote "For the Business to Win, does it require for other people or countries to lose?" See the complete list attached.

Systems, agencies, governments, religions, drugs, wars and so many other topics that have been manufactured to dupe us all on what is really going on all over the world.

The trouble is...now....when you finish reading this book, what are you going to do about it?
