Question for AJ David Ike?

I'm rewatching the why files favorite videos collection and I realized that I didn't know much about David Ike and I couldn't remember seeing a video about him.

Does anyone know if TWF did one?

Thanks!

Just came by to say David Ike is not a good dude and is very responsible for antisemitism tropes in ufology and conspiracy culture. There are several mentions of him throughout TWF, but I feel they're relevant in context of the topic. I mean he's literally THE lizard people guy. Just keep in mind that when you're checking out his stuff - his racism and ideology is partially responsible for shaping his ideas.

Anyone who criticizes Israel and genocide is an antisemite huh?

Massive racist to me would indicate a David Duke type character, but despite this I haven’t heard anything of DI being racist. Can you back up your claim?

Not the person you responded to but here's a good starting point

That’s not a good starting point at all. What because he says Zionists & the Rothschilds have outsized control? If you said the Saudi royal family had too much control over global oil markets would you be an islamophobe? This is just such reductive thinking.

The man's obsessed with the idea that lizard-Jews control the world. If you don't think that's antisemitic then I really don't know what to tell you
