Facebook Deplatforms Antisemitic Conspiracy Theorist David Icke Over False Coronavirus Claims, Including Blame of Jews

Facebook has removed the official page of British antisemitic conspiracy theorist David Icke for publishing “health misinformation that could cause physical harm,” the BBC reported on Friday.

According to the report, the 68-year-old Icke — a bestselling author who believes that an alien race of humanoid reptiles secretly controls the world — has promoted a number of false claims about the coronavirus, including a charge that Jews are responsible for the pandemic.

Icke tweeted on Friday, “Fascist Facebook deletes David Icke – the elite are TERRIFIED of him because they are terrified of the truth.”

The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) has launched a campaign to have Icke widely deplatformed.

George Noory took over. I don't remember Art Bell ever having him on. He was allowed to talk about Queen Elizabeth being a shape-shifting Reptilian. I don't remember his anti semitism on the radio but I learned about it later watching a YouTube video. I'm raising this because I wonder if it's something he tried to hide, or whether George Noory had to talk to him before letting him on the air and caution him, "no antisemitism tonight, stick to the chemtrails and the Reptilians." It's just so awkward to have the mainstream media (Coast to Coast is fairly mainstream, or at least it used to be) flirting with somebody this crazy. There's eccentric (Jim Marrs was eccentric), and then there's flat-out insane, and Icke is in the latter category. So I'm very happy he's been deplatformed.
