Banned conspiracy theorist's most shocking ideas

The world is never short on conspiracy theories – think Melania Trump using a body double, or bizarre theories about Princess Diana’s death.

And now a British author David Icke has been banned from entering Australia, because among his many wild theories he believes the Holocaust was staged, and stands accused of anti-semitism.

Surprisingly, his Holocaust denialism may not even be the most ridiculous thing this conspiracy theorist has proposed.

From the end of humanity as we know it in 2030, to the real reason we’re so obsessed with the royals, these are some of the bizarre things he was going to talk about on a speaking tour of the country next month.

We worship the royals because they are ‘demi-gods’

David believes the British royal family actually have power over more than just the Commonwealth.

“The world is web of secret societies who interconnect to create one centralised global government or body who control and censor information,” David tells Yahoo Lifestyle in an interview ahead of a planned speaking tour to Australia.

“The royal family are not at the top of the hierarchy but they are up there.”

He also suggests that we’re obsessed with the royals because they are pretty much demi-gods – half human, half god. He says this goes all the way back to ancient times when gods ‘bred’ with humans to create these mixed bloodlines.

“When you look at these royal bloodlines, why are they special, why are they called blue bloods, why do they claim the right to rule?” he says.

“In the bible they call them Nephilim, but the same thing happens in all cultures of the world. In China, the royals are descendant from the serpent gods.”

We actually live in The Matrix

David has a theory that we are currently living in a computer simulation akin to the film The Matrix.

“In the movie they have the connection into the head which was feeding the brain info, and if you looked at their computer screens, the ‘world’ was just a bunch of information codes – that is basically what is happening, but it’s coming in through the five senses instead,” David says.

We absorb and build our own perception based on what we consume whether that be through mainstream media, through experience or through social interaction. But algorithms can censor what we can and cannot.

“More and more mainstream scientists, including someone from NASA, have gone public to say we probably are living in a simulation. Or we’re living in a fake reality which has been created by an alien-force.”

Human brains will be replaced by Artificial Intelligence by 2030

According to David, the powers that be of the world have a long-term goal to merge humans with Artificial Intelligence, AI, by 2030.

He says we’ve been unknowingly walking right into the trap by jumping onto the bandwagon of new technologies when they are released.

“If you had suggested this years ago – before tech – they would have been called crazy – I have been – but what has happened is step by step we’ve been taken there. To the brink of it now,” he claims.

“The first step was to get people addicted to tech they hold in their hand, like tablets and smart phones. Then they moved to things on the body, using Bluetooth and gadgets people can wear, and then you go to what was the plan all along – in the body.

“AI could be the end of humanity.”
