David is energetic and personable, it's hard not to like him. He has put together a powerful, well researched presentation and there's never a dull moment. It was riveting enough to sit through the whole six hours the first time I watched. I've watched it twice again and keep seeing things I missed before. There is a lot of information here and it will get the old brain cells fired up. (Things that make you go, 'hmmmm'.) The first two parts he talks about the state of the world today, then goes into history. As he talks there are continuous graphics behind him that show what he's talking about. As he goes along, he weaves together information in a very compelling way that is both powerful and amusing. He talks about Sept 11th, about the US Gov't, and yes, about reptiles. The last two hours were hard for me at first, I wasn't ready to go along with him after he'd gotten me so interested with facts and brilliant analysis. I forced myself to just sit and listen and I'm glad I did, it wasn't too weird for too long. I think of this DVD like a grand buffet table with hundreds of plates of delectable goodies, and some plates I'd rather not partake of. Just because a few items offered don't appeal to me doesn't mean I have to toss the whole thing out. There is definitely something worth experiencing here for people who are self thinkers as opposed to cookie cutter sameness addicts. I like his energy and intelligence, and hope to see more of him on DVD in the future.

I stumbled upon David's Books many years ago, but never read any and always by-passed them because I didn't care about reading about any conspiracy theories and I thought that's all that his stuff was about. It's not.

Ultimately it is not about those people out there, reptilians or not, it's about you and your mind, it's about taking control of your mind and about taking control of your life.

The DVDs are also about becoming aware of your connection with Infinite Loving Wisdom within you, and about not taking any stories that are served for granted, but rather asking questions about "truths" that are served and that people just take for granted. The DVDs are about giving yourself permission to think for yourself, to express your uniqueness, to express your creative potential, to listen to that little voice within that whispers "I CAN".

The last CD has about 2 hours of information on hypnosis, how the brain processes information and how we get subliminally influenced. As a hypnotist myself, I can attent to the fact that your awareness of manipulative methods used - not only in forms mentioned on these DVDs, but also in a form what we call "hypnotic language" patterns or covert hypnosis - reduces the ability of another to use these methods on you, because you consciously catch them.

Join David Icke (pronounced: I- KEY) on this 3 disc 360 minute journey through the illusory matrix commonly referred to as physical reality. If you're unfamiliar with the bizarre, highly unorthodox world of Mr. Icke where nothing is what is appears to be it's time to sit down, get comfortable and open your chakras as you prepare to "follow the information" trail with David and see where it eventually leads.

Disc 1 & 2 investigates our socio-economic-political climate as we rapidly move towards a unified, one world government:

- Learn how reverse symbolism, subliminal programming and encoded mantras like "weapons of mass destruction" are used to polarize our subconscious into hostile factions making it easier for the `Powers That Be' to manipulate the populace headlong into war like lambs to the slaughter.
- Discover the existence and machinations of an age old secret society, the Illuminati, working behind the scenes of every national government and major corporations to control the hearts and minds of unsuspecting civilians. Learn to discern the signs, symbols and rituals by which this organization can be recognized.

Disc 3, Ah..., this is where the scenarios presented will really begin to challenge your most treasured paradigms. Cast all your pre-conceptions aside if you dare and imagine a world of alternate possibilities. What if these corrupt world leaders identified in the first two parts of the presentation are only the front men or puppets for a powerful race of non-human beings. Are inter-dimensional shape-shifting, reptilians moving in and out of our holographic reality and leading us to a totalitarian future beyond our wildest nightmares? If so is there something we can do to stop them? According to Icke there is.

As David Ickes' deprogramming session comes to an end wait patiently until the wave patterns swirling around you reassert themselves into recognizable forms and your molecular structure reassembles before attempting to move about. Take a deep breath and relax. Do you feel safer now that you're safely back inside the hologram? Will you go out into the sunshine and embrace consensus reality as you did before? Or will you feel like something has changed, as though things are somehow different than you remember? If you experience the latter, welcome to the universe of David Icke.

Great job here, combining psychological, societal,
personal, global, cerebral, rational, scientific,
historical perspectives and teachings inter-mixed
with funny cartoons, pertinent graphics and images
to the topics.

This is relaxing ...Icke has a talent that he brings
over from the BBC, which got him hired there 20 or 30
years ago, and which has carried him through to this
new life as a motivator, committed to bringing some
cerebral, historical perspectives on the average citizen's
daily lives.

The truth and facts spewed are difficult to digest,
as is always the case when anyone dissects reality,
and separates propaganda, lies and deceit, from objective
reality, truth and arms-length analysis from the events.
It takes quite a bit of courage to stand up in front
of an audience and recount the dastardly deeds of leaders
world-wide ...and to not shy away from telling it as
Icke believes for fear of mockery or ridicule, as he himself
had admitted in the past, candidly.

All in all, a lot more interesting than perhaps those
motivators rehashing the same Hindu, Buddist, vegetarian,
yoga or similar mantras...with more Western-World
themes of how a person in general can learn to deal
with anxieties, personal confusions, and manipulations
to better survive in this world.

Gets esoterical in parts, and incomprehensible also..
but with 6 hours of information, there's something for
everyone here.

Beware the reviewer JD who has taken a considerable amount of time to discredit all of David Icke's work and probably gets paid to do so. Note with these hate filled people they only say "david a nutcase" but never given a reason WHY any of his theories don't make sense or are nonsense. I'm open to any comments from both sides but if you only aim to give childish insults then go to hell, I'd like them to give specific examples of why David's work is looney alongside their own theory of what happened, no surprise this never happens. Regardless of what the above moron has said or what I've just said all I can say is GET IT AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF!!!!!

I've read a lot of david books and this lecture is a good live presentation of what his books discuss. I don't agree on everything he says, but it is certainly interesting and thought provoking. On a technical note, more than one camera angle would have been better but overall it is a good presentation and worth the money.

PEOPLE THAT DISLIKE DAVID ICKE ARE NOT BAD ONES NOR EVIL ONES THEY SIMPLE CANT SEE BETWEEN THE TRUTH AND THE LIE.David Icke has never dissapointed his readers with the accurate information and his bravery writing.A wonderful video which should be passed for your friends to see.

From over 30 years of personal research into these issues, this is the most well developed and spoken account of the real nature of politics and control of the public mind. Noam Chomsky and others have spoken about the political agendas of the United States, and the corporate control of the media and such topics, but to my knowledge, Icke is the first person to describe the secret societies and their history, going way back to the beginning.
The sad part is that this information is distinct from what we learned in public schools and what we see and read from the various media outlets. It would be easy to verify most of what Icke says by simply researching on your own.
An open mind is a good thing. If you have an open mind, then this film will actually explain how the world really works. Peace and good luck to you on your quest for knowledge.

David Icke's Matrix is the first concept on reality I've seen that makes any sense is this crazy world. Those human beings who choose not to accept this concept of reality are living an ILLUSION and they have been completely taken over by the "ILLUMINATI AGENDA." Mr. Icke presents the material in a down to earth fashion that anyone can grasp, that is if he or she has a mind that's not consumed by previous programming from childhood. In essence! We are what we THINK! FEEL! and SEE!
I truly wish humanity would break out of their self contained negative mold and see for themselves that REALITY IS WHAT WE MAKE IT! If you have any conscious you'll reccommend the Matrix to your friends, family and loved one's before it's too late.
THE MATRIX IS A MUST SEE TO BELIEVE!
That's what I'm doing.

Man, the first thing I noticed was the audience is huge and David's gained a bit of weight. The message comes thru loud and clear though - as always. David is articulate and convincing. He has truly opened my mind to all sorts of new possibilities. Highly recommended for those wanting to expand their understanding of how the universe works, how our political system doesn't work, etc. Worth the $$$... Take a dive into the world of Icke - the water is wonderful...

It's difficult what to make of David Icke.

On the one hand, he's written a handful of very insightful and interesting books about the clandestine history of the world from a perspective rarely (if ever) seen by the masses on any continent. He forms cohesive arguments built on a plethora of substantiated (or, at least, very well researched) facts, arguments, and theories. But, on the other hand, he gravitates toward the unconventional premise ... the "way out there" idea that occasionally is predicated on the idea itself and has very little substance in cold hard data. When he's dealing in fact, Icke arguably has some of the best; but what do you do when he's sermonizing against using them?

SECRETS OF THE MATRIX is a production with equal flaws as it has strengths. This videotaped presentation from a 2003 speech in England really should've employed more than two cameras in order to capture a better picture. Much of it has been shot in the dark, largely due to Icke's reliance on basic audiovisual equipment for his show, and the unavailability of alternative angles becomes increasingly obvious as he walks almost non-stop around the stage, sometimes becoming difficult to stay in focus. Icke's main premise is to argue against the mainstream presentation of facts (i.e. George Bush is not what he seems, Tony Blair is not what he seems, the various national governments are not what they seem, etc.); however, his point of view is almost spot-on for how the mainstream media pundits lampoon each of these public figures and institutions on a regular basis ... so how is it off-base? As always, Icke rises from the ashes of any "weird" idea when he relies on facts ... precisely what he is arguing against ... so what can you make of his premise?

This is definitely a program intended for those familiar with his writing; the unitiated might be more than a bit lost here ... and more than a bit disappointed. Enthusiasts should find enough fuel for water-cooler chat to last a year.
