“Paranoid British conspiracy theorist David Icke is not happy about the electing of Obama as president, not because he’s black, but because he thinks he’s a reptilian hybrid. “What we find here is inter-breeding between human and non-human races,” Icke told an on-the-edge-of-their-seat crowd at the Bay Area UFO Expo. “This particular race–which appears to take a reptilian form—have taken the roles of power and are behind the Global Conspiracy!””

International Cardiovascular Health Alliance (ICHA):

On January 6, 2008, a would-be volunteer responded to a Craigslist ad.

The would-be volunteer was Nikka Rapkin – a corporate lawyer armed with all the public health know-how to be gleaned from Mountains Beyond Mountains, and maybe not a whole lot more than that.
