Busted -- an expose on world events of global proportions

There's a suspicious feeling circulating throughout modern-day Western society that, generally speaking, universities have been gotten to -- either infected or infested with a radically progressive ideology, that disdains freedom of inquiry; in which grants, tenure, and prestige keep professors from expressing truthful and unpopular opinions, and that has graduates exiting these elite institutions worse off than when they entered: as tailor-made conditioned cogs; proponents of the cancel culture; opposed to democratic values, such as free speech and civil liberties.

Certainly, within academia there are prohibitions against talk of conspiracy theories. Yet here we have an out-of-the-box thinker and "controversial" speaker in David Icke, being welcomed at the Oxford Union Debating Society. Intriguing, to say the least.

Compared with other video-recorded speaking events of David Icke's, I found DAVID ICKE: LIVE AT OXFORD UNION DEBATING SOCIETY not all that hard-hitting as the others. His message seems a bit toned down, less informal, as if made palatable for and tailored to brainwashed matriculants, who likely aren't aware that a Rabbit Hole even exists.

As an example of what I mean, Icke chooses not to go into a discussion of the corruption of certain aristocrats, of the system's occult history, of the existence of sinister interdimensional beings controlling things. This lecture could be thought of, then, as an elementary primer, in which, step by step, the teacher spells it all out for the students -- this being a basic overview, rather than an in-depth and comprehensive advanced course. Icke is, after all, not preaching to the choir, here.

Regardless, you cannot help but get the sense that Icke is a bit out of his element here, in his trying to connect with the OUDS audience. One wonders, are those in attendance receptive to what Icke has to say, or apathetic clock-watchers?

Audience reaction aside, Icke proceeds with his nearly two-hour presentation, anyway, surprisingly without any booing or hissing from the pupils. The lecture briefly touches on a number of important issues: including: the farce of elections (i.e. the illusion of choice in voting within a two-party system run by the same elite class); the pyramid system and how it operates; the herd mentality of sheeple; how society is inching its way towards a global currency, of global control governed by Plutocrats. It delves a bit deeper beneath the surface than mere talk of transnational corporations.

Throughout the presentation and in passing, Icke also comments on: GMOs; fluoride in the drinking water; artificial sweeteners; political correctness; EMF; vaccines; how fear is used to get people to willingly give up their freedoms, and how this is sometimes if not often accomplished via some manufactured catastrophic event.

Prior to the main discourse, David Icke takes us on a tour of the OUDS, where various busts of past intellectuals are shown. This got me to thinking how very appropriate it would be for David Icke to be honored with a bust of his own, or at the very least recognized for his major contribution to humanity via a knighting.
