Everything You Need to Know But Were Never Told
"I want to make it clear before we start what the title represents. Everything You Need To Know, But Have Never Been Told does not refer to all that people need to know in terms of information and knowledge. How could you put that between two covers? Religious books claim to do this but they are works of self-delusion and perceptual imprisonment. Everything You Need To Know in this case refers to the information necessary to open entirely new ways of thinking and perceiving reality, both in the seen and unseen, from which everything else will come. This book is a start not a finish. It is written in layers with information placed upon information that together reveals the picture by connecting the parts. The parts are fascinating, but the picture is devastating. Prepare for a perception reboot]]

I wanted to make this review for all the "Icke haters" who are clearly not giving this guy a chance. Think about the "crazy" stuff that has you thinking he is a Loon: the Reptilians, pedophiles, whatever, etc... (Well first know he talks about a heck of a lot more than those things, things that make brilliant sense!)... and after all his points are said and explained... he drills it home with a solid unmistakable message of LOVE.
He crystal clearly made the point to say what matters is LOVE, loving ourselves and others as ourselves, and that INCLUDES loving ALL the corrupt/dark/evil people he talks about! Point blank said they are just another him and he is just another them, as are you and as am I, as we are ALL ONE. Individual souls of ONE infinite, eternal Consciousness. How can anyone really disagree with a message of love? Do you have to agree with EVERYTHING a person says? No! But should that make you throw the baby out with the bathwater? Also, no.
A straightforward, honest message of love and a message of SELF-REALIZATION is the trademark of an awake individual. First, second, even third appearances can be very misleading, so keep an open mind, yet remain unattached. David Icke is a great example of someone totally misunderstood, undervalued, and underestimated because people simply refuse to hear the ENTIRE message but instead turn it off, shout "crazy," argue with or look the other way or belittle them AS SOON as something is said that goes against their old beliefs! It's a very impulsive, immature, close-minded, programmed reaction!
Have enough common sense to know you should look at as many sides as possible before formulating genuine and valuable personal conclusions. When you ONLY watch/listen/entertain one BIASED side that automatically is aligned with "what you think you already know" instead of looking outside the box, you will miss out on amazing people with great minds and miss out on opportunities to EXPAND your horizons and your mind. Pick and choose, take and leave, but never stop the journey of REAL exploration! The coolest stuff is found in uncharted territories, paths not paved, secret caves, deep below the surface, the places most people of the planet haven't been... yet. <3 EXPLORE!

An eye-opening and excellent book as always by the "Renegade Mind" David Icke, who seems to go from strength to strength.
He covers a lot of ground in this 700 page book and it's all well-researched and written in an easily digestible manner.
I appreciate him for all the hard work he does to open the minds of everyone willing to listen to him and expose the evil and manipulation we face from the government, deep state, and the 'elite'.
I recommend it to anyone who's looking for a different perspective on things.

This is a tough book to read. It's 17 chapters of very gloom and doom...BUT it's worth reading. It is the first book I have read by the author and probably the last. After reading this book, you realize everything is a lie and that can be quite depressing. But it's better to know the truth than deceive yourself.
I imagine the world is not as gloomy as Icke portrays it to be, but it's not all love and rainbows like some light workers claim it to be either. It's somewhere in the middle. The good news is, it's all changeable. We are not stuck, we just have to take back our power and change it.
I consider myself a fairly awake person, more awake than most. A lot of what Icke writes about I've heard. As for the Reptilian agenda, I've heard this for a while but I still hesitate to attribute everything to them. But the Cabal, yes they should take the blame.
The last chapter is about what to do about the mess we are in. It's really quite simple. You can't fight hate with hate, it's got to be with love. Martin Luther King said the same thing.

Incredibly eye-opening. Filled with amazing, well-reached history and ideas that might actually change how you view the world you live in. Some of the information offered here is quite disturbing, however, there was never a feeling that all hope is lost. There are ways to correct this mess, and Icke does offer up a few ideas on how we might go about this. What I very much liked about this wonderful book was that Icke never preaches here, in fact, I think he goes out of his way to present this information in the best way he can and then leaves it up to the reader to make up his or her own mind. I truly feel that those of you who have stepped back from the crowds, refused labeling and have decided that you want to see things for what they are - this is the book for you. There’s nothing that says you have to "buy" every single written word here, but there’s so much that – at the very least, warrants deeper consideration.

To those considering a read of this book—do it.
David Icke’s seventeen chapter exposé Everything You Need To Know But Have Never Been Told reveals in chapter by chapter format, the global descent into Brave New World & 1984-level society; with AI trans-humanism, Zionist extremism, weather manipulation technology, cell tower conspiracies, a healthy dose of vaccine controversy, the Rothschild & Rockefeller families, and reptilian aliens thrown into the mix.
Sound crazy? Sure is. But there’s a hell of a lot of truth in this book. Don’t believe everything you read—but keep whatever sounds crazy or far fetched you glean from anywhere on the back burner in your mind. Save it for later, in a way. You’ll wrestle with it for a while, discard it, or find some tidbit of information that draws one in for further inquiry. Important: Don’t believe everything you think.
In 2018 my roommate introduced me to the conspiracies of David Icke from this very book. Aliens? Cell towers? Weather manipulation technology? 9/11 a hoax? “Nah man,” I’d say. I didn’t want to hear it.
Oh, how I was close minded. I didn’t want to hear it. I didn’t want to listen to that which I couldn’t understand. Here I am two years later and having read the book for myself I can say this: I can’t claim of a surety to what David Icke reports on in this book is 100% true, but I can say that David Icke is writing about some seriously Orwellian outcomes that we ought to look at with open minds and a willingness to entertain that everything is not as it seems.
Taking on a sharper skepticism to whatever mainstream narrative is being pushed on our perceptions will prove invaluable if the agenda spelled out David Icke’s Everything You Need To Know But Have Never Been Told comes true (dear God I hope it doesn’t).
What if everything you ever knew was built on a foundation of sand? Give this book a go.

This is essential reading for every person on this planet. If you have been asking why the world is in the state it is in (good and bad), there are clear and well researched answers for you within this book. David provides an alternative point of view to the ones many of us have had repeated to us over and over by our well meaning families, the media, society at large, peer pressure, religion etc.. To be clear, his intentions are for every person here on planet earth to realise their potential/express their true individuality by raising their vibratory energy which is being suppressed on a mass scale due to our obsession with our '5 senses'. Without giving too much away, most of us have no idea how powerful we truly are in terms of manifesting a life that we really desire, in a world that we ideally want to live in. Please make the investment in yourself and the collective consciousness by reading the book in full so that the process of awakening can either begin or deepen further.

Overall not a bad book. It gives a lot of interesting information, presented in a good way. BUT:
-What really made me nervous is the constant advertising of the other books of the author. Mentioning once or twice might be fine, but believe me...almost in every single chapter there is a hidden ad to some of his other books.
-I've noticed that the author repeats himself quite often.
-Very weird criticism on Christianity, barely based on some arguments.

Everything You Need to Know But Have Never Been Told, published in 2017, is David Icke's consummate work, recapitulating 19 books and 28 years of writing, research, and spiritual experience. Icke's career as a shaman began in 1991 with an experience in Peru, where he was impelled to approach several standing stones on a hill in a remote and uninhabited area. While standing there wondering what he was about, he felt a powerful energetic current take over his body, and he was impelled to raise his arms above his head in the magical gesture of Typhon, the ancient Egyptian serpent god, identified with Set, who also inspired Aleister Crowley. He was then engulfed in rain, where a moment earlier there was no rain. One of the central symbols in Icke’s system is the serpent, or reptile, also described by William Blake. The serpent, or naga, is also important in Buddhism, a protector of sacred knowledge. This experience precipitated a spiritual crisis, called the "turquoise period," when Icke felt that he was communicating with a powerful spiritual presence which culminated in 2003 with two intense ayahuasca experiences in Brazil, followed by an experience with psilocybin several weeks later. It is traditional for the shaman to undergo a spiritual crisis, followed by a period of disorientation from which he emerges either as a “nutter,” to use Icke’s term, or a visionary healer and man of power. During his ayahuasca experiences Icke communicated with the spirit of the plant, traditionally regarded as a female spiritual figure, who imparted to him a body of knowledge of which he said that he made extensive notes, rather like Philip K. Dick's Exegesis. I do not know that these notes have ever been published, but they would be very interesting to see.
Everything is a summary overview of Icke's insights over a period of almost three decades, reviewing the conclusions explored in great detail in his previous books, which I have not read, in 18 chapters. The number 18 is itself interesting. It is the number of Hata (ChTA). the antique Serpent, as well as Love, Life, and Light. Once again we see the centrality of the Serpent in Icke's theology.
Part of the shamanic journey is the exploration of a symbolic world, which the shaman explores, articulates, and communicates to the world in order to bring the world into relation to the numinous reality that underlies and thus heals the world, lost in the phantasmagoria of experience. What the shaman expresses is what the world needs to hear, expressed in language that the world can hear. However, in order to do this the shaman must also communicate in the language of the people with whom he communicates, and thus the universal principles of the perennial philosophy are articulated in terms of the limited cultural framework of his hearers, which must always be less than the inspiring vision, or the latter would not be an authentically transformative experience. Thus, the preeminent spiritual language is inherently symbolic, as discerned by Jung. This last point is especially important in any serious consideration of David Icke, if we are to understand him truly and sympathetically as an authentic spiritual seeker and not merely as a crank or charlatan or, worse, an opportunist. I for one am in the former camp, and have been personally fascinated by the numerous synchronicities between my life and his, who is only two years older than I. But this story will be told in another place.
Everything truly is comprehensive and, like the Bible, begins with a cosmology, an exploration of the nature and origin of reality itself (chapter 1). Chapter 2 is positively Cabalistic, exploring as it does the nature of the Dyad (Yeats's "Duad"), the "inversion" or reversal (Crowley's "wrong of the beginning") by which the trans-dual unity of the absolute (the "cosmic egg") is “broken” and manifests in the world of appearance characterized by conflict, which is also a rebirth and an opportunity for greater growth and self-realization. Icke's reference to the "archons" is interesting, not only for its Gnostic implications but also because Jacque Vallee, the famous computer scientist widely considered to be the foremost expert on UFOs, was also inspired by the Gnostic myth of the archon, which he identified with the intelligence behind the UFO phenomenon. In subsequent chapters Icke explores the notion of virtuality, now an accepted theory of modern science; the dominance in the human psyche of the reptilian brain and its effects; the historical and biological dominance of corrupt royal bloodlines that are actually degenerate as a result of centuries or even millennia of inbreeding; the collective brainwashing of the human psyche by religions and politics, culminating in the cults of scientism, capitalism, and industrialization and its consequences, including the dictatorship of a diseased, dysfunctional, and dictatorial aristocracy with an agenda, intentional or systemic, of enslaving the human race for its own profit and advantage culminating in a globalized, industrialized, and enslaved humanity of the type that we already see arising in the United States and China - "different masks, same face." Icke's view of education as a system of state control is similar to that of Noam Chomsky and "Bucky" Fuller. Like Arthur Koestler, Icke locates the origin and perpetuation of war in an innate proclivity towards psychopathy that advantages and even nourishes the aristocratic and plutocratic elites at the expense of the people, including state terrorism. Another aspect is technocracy, of the type represented for example by Ray Kurzweil, who postulates that biological humanity will disappear and be replaced by a machine-human hybrid that will inevitably culminate in a humanoid robot with artificial intelligence (AI) that will simulate and surpass human intelligence and thus biological humans will become supererogatory. This is not science fiction. Both the European Union and the United States are actively engaged in what Barack Obama referred to as the "Brain Initiative," to digitally simulate human consciousness in a silicon matrix. Google has already established the first university designed to educate AI, with Ray Kurzweil as its first president. Kurzweil believes that a machine will pass the Turing test by the end of the next decade. The American military has plans to create autonomous robot soldiers as soon as possible. Elon Musk has recently announced NeuraLink, in which he plans to insert "threads," a tenth of the width of a human hair, directly into the brain using a robot arm to be connected to a brain-machine interface (BMI) that would fit behind the ear. Human tests are scheduled to begin in 2020. This is all public knowledge, if the public would care to look up from their cellphones to see what is actually happening around them.
Icke's books are a wakeup call that humanity must rise up before it is too late, to take charge of its own destiny and resist the dystopian future that is rapidly becoming a reality. Icke’s popular success since the humiliation of the Wogan Show shows that Icke’s world view resonates with an increasingly popular and widespread realization of the dangers of elitism, plutocracy, capitalism, and industrialization and the need for a progressive world view that inspires us to take a radically new direction if we are to avoid disaster.

Everyone has their right to a point of view. Sadly, this is simply a very poor attempt to try and understand our world. Treat it as fiction and it would still disappoint. If you’re going to present such allegations and insights - you really need to provide evidence. Non of which are in this book.
Lastly, there’s an incredible irony that a man who claims to have nothing but ‘love’ for humanity writes with such anger and bitterness .

This book has some concepts in it that are fairly novel, lots that has been said before, but some specifically new ideas. It is all woven together in a Very long book, but has good concepts found throughout.
I did not give it a good rating, for the following reasons:
1) to get people to take the concepts and writing seriously and to consider the research somewhat objectively with open eyes (which Icke is apparently wanting people to do!) - gotta put in-text citations into the work! Pages of references at the end doesn’t help anyone if you don’t refer to them during the chapter! I want to see the ref when I’m reading something interesting.
2) needs some trimming down and removal of some of the colloquialisms. The anger in it, or spite I guess is not really all that useful either.
Seriously this book would have been quite interesting if it were 300 pg instead of 800, and had in-text citations.
Am I glad I read it? Yeah I guess. I like the stuff about interdimensional meddling, which is pretty novel and I haven’t heard people talking about it.
Would I read it again? No way.. gotta have those requirements above to improve usefulness.

What an egoist that doesn't understand the scientific method.

Very very long read. I was interested to read at least one of Icke's books and I ended up with this one. It was interesting to learn various facts, people, projects and concepts that are at the core of various theories. Although I'm not 100% into it, there are lot of interesting points and even if only 10% if it is true there's lot of problems to solve. I agree with him regarding divide and conquer strategy which seems to be in the heart of COVID as well. Some other aspects regarding Reptilians and Saturn are much more difficult to believe in. But without going much more in the detail I can just say that the world is complex and there is much more than we are being shown. People ridicule those who do connect the dots and being a "conspiracy theorist" these days is like being total outsider. That's the cross they need to carry. What I wish is that general public would simply be better educated, informed and question more. But the system we live in is making it extremely difficult for many to do so. In the end the humanity should ask itself "where are we going? what's the aim? what are we trying to accomplish?", yet many are too busy earning money, entertaining themselves and just living the life off. In meanwhile we should not excluded that some are taking advantage of that. [reading time: 34h 19m]

I started Icke's newest last September, I would read a hundred pages, put it down, soak it in, and then a month later read another hundred...it starts off with the vibration of atoms and goes from there...the last two hundred pages covers Silicon Valley...it's a tough 700pg read...David Icke is one ballsy mo-fo...4.9999 outa 5!

Amazing book, sadly so true

Icke is understandably the most widely-read conspiracy theorist on the planet today. He somehow combines self-effacing charm with levels of bravado that should not be possible.
I certainly don't agree with all (perhaps even most) of what Icke has to say about the hidden mechanisms and groups that shape our world, but I am ALWAYS entertained by him.

I have to hand it to David Icke. He single handedly keeps the flames of antisemitism burning, with his willful ignorance. It is no surprise that he is British. While the English and Scots didn’t invent antisemitism, they’ve been promoting it for centuries. As far as Icke, he is beyond clueless when it comes to any knowledge or understanding of Kabbalah. That David Icke has always promoted his belief that it’s about eating babies, the devil and pedophilia leads me to doubt he has the intelligence necessary to seriously study it. Icke is incapable of grasping the difficult material offered in the Kabbalah. If he could, he’d realize that, to sum it up, it’s about a pure heart (intent, act & will). I also strongly doubt David Icke is fluent in reading and writing Hebrew, at the heart of Kabbalah. Like all hateful people, their ignorance and limited capacity becomes obvious the minute they open their mouth. I don’t believe in censorship but no one should publish the babbling of this amateur sleuth. Anything he writes is not worth the time to read it.
September 14, 2022
To a large extent this is a rehash of the same basic book Icke keeps writing (with mild updates to reflect current events), but on this one he doubles down on his antisemitism by piling particular blame on a particular Jewish sect. (Note that the question of whether Icke's "reptilian" stuff is coded antisemitism is a bit of a red herring: even if you set it aside, he is sufficiently hostile to any expression of Jewish religious or cultural identity that it amounts to the same thing.)

A good 'David Icke' book, but more of a summary of what he has written about before.
I would recommend it to people who want to get to know the author and what he stands for. If you have read his previous books ... maybe not so interesting.

If you want research, find a book that cites its sources. If you want tedious political rants, just go on YouTube. If you want weird and wonderful stories about aliens and such, read some of David Icke's earlier work. But don't waste your time with this one.

The book bravely opens with what could have been the base of a plot for one of the most amazing sci-fi works of today. The Orion-Saturn-Moon-Earth connection is mind-bending, and although it does not immediately explain global political reality, it is a gold piece in science fiction terms. Interesting topics like the vibrations of subatomic particles or the dire consequences of wars and anger are somehow undermined a bit by the abrupt entry of shapeshifters or the grays. One pleasing aspect, though, is that even the most far-fetched idea from the book fits the overall picture quite nicely. If we could only see some evidence that some of us could shed skin flakes or darken their sclerae at will. It does makes sense that evil corpos are run by biological units radically different than me and you. I can believe that.
I like David's 'killing them with kindness' approach to the aggression of haters. In short terms this zen-like state is a weak force, like gravity. But just like gravity, it should be universal. In the world of physics—we live in one—the ultimate way to neutralize a negative charge is by projecting a positive one. It is a rough and exhausting stance to maintain, but such mentality does not come from a weak mind. In author's own words, "How can you change something with the same mentality that created it?" How can you disagree with that?
Few remarks:
The discussion is generally not unambiguous, but occasional rough punctuation will twist the meaning almost into the complete opposite. I may have read an earlier edition—and I don't want to sound like a middle school English teacher—but some syntax errors could have been avoided, and sentences rephrased for clarity.
There are some sloppy seconds on the editing part. I don't want to bash the meme-style illustrations, but for example, one of the claims, about the all-seeing-eye sneaking into cartoons for kids, is backed by a collage of screenshots from cartoons, including one from Family Guy. I admit that pasting the Eye of Providence in Tom and Jerry is a bit creepy, but *not seeing it* in a Family Guy episode should be a cause for concern.

PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS BOOK.
I read this book when I was about 21 years old, and was completely traumatized by it. I still haven't recovered from what I read 2,5 years later. My mind was broken because of it and I don't know how to move on. Seriously. I didn't know a book could do this, but it happened. Writings like these shouldn't even be so easily accessible to anyone. At least there should be an age restriction.
And it's not even about 'everything you need to know'. Trust me, it isn't. It's not about what you need to know in order to live properly, it doesn't teach you how to solve problems or how to cultivate a good character so you can be good with other people. It only contains some supposedly hidden information that, whether true or not, can be extremely traumatizing.
The title of the book is extremely alluring. "Everything you need to know but have never been told". It's not about that. Please decide to restrain your curiosity. It's not worth it.
FOR YOUR SAKE, TAKE MY MISTAKE IN GIVING WAY TO THE TEMPTATION OF THIS TITLE TO HEART AND MOVE AWAY FROM IT AS FAST AS YOU CAN.
If you're curious now about the contents, please swallow that and continue on with your life. It's not worth it. Seriously.

Have yoy ever thought to yourself "I REALKY need to talk to a lunatic with an at best tenuous grasp on reality" but you dont KNOW any lunatics, trump supporters or followers of Deepak Chopra..... Have i got good news for you: David Icke is a delusional lunatic and hes WRITTEN A BOOK just for you and its a doozy. This is like cracking open the brain of a mentally damaged and deluded crazy person and being able to watch how insane looks.......this is the book for people who fundamentally misunderstand terms like "credible evidence", "research", "cause and effect" and occams razor, its the book for those confused by "connect the numbers to see the drawing" and McDonalds kids menu mazes. Is the British royal family REALLY just lizard people or human? Obviously not BUT if you put a picture of the Queen next to a picture of a lizard then suddenly IT ALL MAKES PERFECT SENSE if you are an idiot with zero rational thinking skills. Dont waste yoyr time, there is nothing here of use to you unless you want a laugh. Wish i could zero star.

The Book on Alien/Alternate Dimensional influence on earth.
So... depending on the openness of your mind, this book will either annoy you or provide much to process and link into your knowledge base. It’s a meandering look at many, many theories of the hidden structures and influences that the author says have been influencing human society since humans became civilized. I found it entertaining, as I’ve explored tv series like the X files, and Twin Peaks... the overall message of Icke is one of love and connection, individual awareness and personal freedom. It’s a strange read, and gives a glimpse into a mind that has tried to connect all the dots of major world events and the general flow of society towards technological mastery and AI.

They ridiculed him, called him crazy , a conspiracy theorist, a crackpot, had him banned from speaking in Europe, Canada, Australia and goodness knows what else he's been through yet here we are in 2021 in a contrived pandemic (lab created) and most of what he's saying is coming true before our eyes.
This came out in 2017 and is spot on.
Please read with an open mind and the pieces start to fit together.
Long term the globalist plans are being fasttracked using Covid as the catalyst with an attempt to unnecessarily vaccinate the majority of the population for a virus that would pass us by in 3 years as the Spanish flu did post WW1.
What does it mean?
Read the book to understand how it started , where it was in 2017 and where it's going .
A long read but never boring.

This book's subtitle should be, 'Opinions are like a$$h0l3s and here's 1100 pages of mine'. It's not that this book has No mention of anything redeeming to subject others allude to it being about... And in fairness the author is Intentionally vague... But throughout the book the author is also, frenzied and discursive and All points lead back to the authors opinionated message which after this many pages you'd think I would have received. This book couldn't be much worth than recording the town's loquacious drunk for a week at its height of inebriation when it thinks its brilliant And transcribing this into a 1100 page book. This IMO is really a Don't Read... and if a friend suggested it to you, they're not a friend :rofl.

The Empathy Revolution (pages 681-2)
"The Archontic distortion seeks to delete empathy for its own ends and so what is required is an Empathy Revolution. Surely the way to proceed is to do the opposite of what the distortion neds for continuing and expanding control. It wants us to hate, so we must love; it wants to fight, so we must be peaceful; it wants us fear so we must rise above fear; it wants us to resent and so we must forgive; it wants us to lie (including to ourselves) and so we must tell the truth as we perceive the truth to be; it wants us to feel no empathy and so we must do so in abundance."

I've never come across a book that offers so much clarity on what's happening in the world, in so many different facets and on so many different levels. David Icke is required reading for anyone who wants to connect the dots and try to make sense of the craziness out there. You may disagree with his spiritual view on things, but his insight on where we are, and his theories on where we're going, are fascinating...and scary. Going online and checking the daily news now (with Icke's writings in mind giving me an idea of where this is all heading) is no longer the same confusing mess for me. Terrific stuff!

Curiosity about this author's perceptions motivated me to read this book; all of this tome! To gain insight into the events taking place in our world right now, I want to consider many perspectives, including Icke's. Politically, are both the Red and Blue dancing to a dog-whistle-type tune played by the "hidden hand?"
My favorite part of this book was the last chapter. Icke dismisses the previous 700+ pages of negative information as less relevant than the last chapter, encouraging all of us to find ways to deeply connect with each other. There are no saviors that will accomplish what these connections can. Let's find ways to make them!
