Icke is Incorrect

Over at the Guardian is an article which asks 'so was David Icke right?'. For those who don't know him, David Icke is a former sports correspondent turned conspiracy nut, who's made quite a career claiming that the world is run by alien lizards! From the article:

In January 1999, he wrote that "between 2000 and 2002, the United States will suffer a major attack on a large city". In his 1990 paperback, Truth Vibrations, he declared: "The years after the millennium will see gathering conflict all over the world to the point where the United Nations will be overwhelmed." And in the same book he predicted severe hurricanes around the Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans after 2000.

Predicting hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico hardly requires input from god or alien reptiles. At least when Hunter S. Thompson saw giant lizard people, he understood they were a product of a drug induced state, as opposed to evidence for a huge alien conspiracy. I'm afraid to say that humans don't need any extraterrestrial intervention to create the problems of the world.
