Apparently George W Bush is one of a number of alien reptiles, or shapeshifters, engaged in the nefarious business of ensalving human kind. So says David Icke, conspiracy theorist par excellence. And Brandon Corey has bravely sacrificed a few fingers to bring us the genuine footage to prove it. The White House is swarming with these creatures, in constant contact with a network of powerful figures around the globe.
How else can you explain the Bush presidency? After all, it began with an alien reptile judge overriding the greatest democracy in the world, and getting away with it. Everything that's happened since is just more evidence, from 9/11 to the massive security operation and secrecy surrounding APEC. What's the real reason Laura won't be attending? Is she shedding at the moment?
Conspiracy theories have been around forever. Some of them turn out to be true, but most just seem to explain the otherwise inexplicable. JFK, Marilyn Monroe, Martin Luther King, Princess Di and 9/11 were all deeply traumatising events with very little in the way of explanatory narrative. People needed certainty, and none was forthcoming. Speculation becomes conspiracy theory and the next thing you know, the alien reptiles organised it.
There's another way of understanding it though. When you combine cynicism in politics with wide distrust of the media you end up with a public that can never be sure of what's going on. We expect our media to keep producing Watergates, but they give us Children Overboard headlines and skewed interpretations of opinion polls. So much of it turns out to be untrue. Who could possibly believe that the government knew nothing about the AWB shenanigans? Authority cannot be trusted. Least of all the highest authority of all, the President of the United States.
It's one thing to be sceptical about whose interests are served by our political leaders, it's another thing altogether when the only viable explanation for the behaviour of the Leader of the Free World is that he's an alien reptile.
There are plenty of alternative explanations. He could be serving business interests, family connections with the bin Laden family, pandering to Christian religious extremists longing for Armaggedon, he might be mad, or perhaps none too bright. He could be a quite intelligent person who sincerely has the best interests of the world at heart and is just widely, globally in fact, misunderstood.
There are a disturbing number of copies of the DVD The Brandon Corey Story circulating here in South East Queensland. Corey claims to have managed to get into some CIA bunker and witnessed shapeshifting among other X File-type weirdness. I know quite a few people who either believe it, or are sorely tempted to in the absence of a more believable explanation for George W Bush. You can make yourself quite unpopular by suggesting he's just an unfortunate outcome of the democratic process. It's hard to believe that democracy could get things so wrong.
They will not be surprised when Bush openly endorses Howard. Rudd has resisted so far, but if he meets with Bush and caves in on Iraq then we'll know he's become one of them through a process involving blood, I think. It could have something to do with DNA, but the details are fuzzy. Aren't all details these days?
Meanwhile, Sydney will be virtually shut down and meetings between the APEC leaders will be shrouded in secrecy. We will not be told what is said and even if they do tell us something, it won't be the truth. There may, however, be a bright spot for Peter Costello in all of this. George will have a private evening with John and Janette at Kirribili, but Pete is once again, not invited. Perhaps he knows something?
