About Reptilian conspiracy theory in brief

Summary Reptilian conspiracy theoryConspiracy theorist David Icke claims shape-shifting reptilian aliens control Earth by taking on human form and gaining political power. Icke has stated on multiple occasions that many world leaders are, or are possessed by, so-called reptilians. The idea of a reptilian conspiracy originated in the fiction of Conan the Barbarian creator Robert E. Howard. In the 1940s, Maurice Doreal wrote a pamphlet entitled \”Mysteries of the Gobi\” that described a serpent-like race with bodies like man but heads like a great snake. A poll of Americans in 2013 by Public Policy Polling indicated that 4% of registered voters believed in Icke’s ideas.

The theory has supporters in up to 47 countries and he has given lectures to crowds of up to 6,000. American writer Vicki Santillano included it in her list of the 10 most popular conspiracy theories. One of the earliest reports was that of Ashland, Nebraska, police officer Herbert Schirmer who under hypnosis recalled being taken aboard a UFO in 1967 by humanoid beings with a slightly reptilian appearance, who wore a winged serpent emblem on the left side of their chests.
