The way it has been explained to me is this:
Icke and Hoddle were the two most public figures in Britain who consorted with a plethora of New Age "gurus" that goes back to the mid-eighties and through to the rise of Carol Caplin.
Using a blend of the theories of Lawrence Gardner and a soupcon of Von Daniken - and leaving those theories to one side (anyone who looks at the interrelatedness of the rulers of the world at a basic geneaological level knows all is not as cut and dried as the mainstream worldview would make it appear.) - a splinter of the Green Party, not without some right-wing "Thule" style personalities kicking around, intended to form their own protest group. Their pretext was that Greenpeace and the Green Party was infested with secret service.
An adjunct of this clique was the holding of several New-Age themed pot parties in and around the homes of, among others, Icke and Hoddle. At these parties, my source claims, all involved would imbibe anything from pot to peyote and excite each other into states of delirium.
Icke became so hooked on the "circuit", it was claimed, that he became infatuated with one female guru, an associate of Betty Shine. He was introduced to Shine who ended up telling him to wear turquois. that he was a manifestation of the godhead and various prophecies.
This resulted in Icke's notorious appearance on 'Wogan'.
Targetting sports and media personalities such as Hoddle and Icke proved lucrative for the mainly female New-Agers.
My source is hazy on the details, but Icke eventually split completely from the New Age cell, ultimately all but renouncing his behaviour in 1998 with the breaking of the story that Glen Hoddle, then England soccer manager, believed handicapped people to have been sinful people in a previous lives, a notion arrived at through time spent communing with Betty Shine "disciple" Eileen Drewery.
Desborough appears to be part of this "other" global network, an industry of New-Age gurus and people hired, such as Wilder, to play out the speculation of those such as Icke - to the point she even points an accusing finger of being a lizard at Zachariah Sitchin!
Don't get me wrong, if you go back to William Bramley and Lawrence Gardner, not to mention Jordan Maxwell, there is worthy stuff there, skewing our view of the universe using accessable facts.
Icke, however, is just a hair away from selling his and his readerships' soul. Why should we pay for his website? Why continue paying for his books?
