David Icke’s Famous Reptilians Conspiracy: Do They Walk Among Us?

You’ve probably seen tabloid headlines claiming, “Justin Bieber Caught Momentarily Transforming into Reptilian Form,” or “Shapeshifting Secret Service Agent Proof of Illuminati Reptilian Bloodlines.” While these may seem like fringe conspiracies, a poll taken during the 2016 election showed that four percent or roughly 12 million Americans, believe in these famous reptilians. But if you really want to know more about the reptilian conspiracy theory, one need only ask David Icke.
Famous Reptilians
Much of the theory’s popularity comes from Icke’s interpretations of Gnostic texts such as the Nag Hammadi, as well as biblical Apocrypha like the Dead Sea Scrolls. He says he believes these texts contain evidence that certain higher vibrational beings of frequency, known as Archons, appear on Earth as humans, masking their true reptilian form.
These “Archontic” forces are undoubtedly evil, intent on enslaving humanity for their own selfish reasons. Icke says these forces are like a computer virus that manifested itself in elite bloodlines throughout mankind’s history. Also known to use their most infamous arm of clandestine influence, the Illuminati, these famous Reptilian shapeshifters form a psychopathic ruling class that pulls the strings in all of the world’s financial and political power structures.
And it’s not hard to sympathize with Icke’s belief; the decisions made by politicians, bankers, and the global elite are often selfish, detrimental to the environment, and subversive to the betterment of society at large – three signs of psychopathy. But are they really reptilian?
Of course, we all have a reptilian brain – that part of us responsible for behaviors, such as aggression, dominance, and territoriality – which was a nickname given to the basal ganglia by neuroscientist Paul McClean when he wanted to compare our instinctual actions to those of reptiles. But it seems like the Reptilians Icke describes are a little more conniving than McClean’s concept; it seems they’re capable of more cerebral thought.
Illuminati Bloodlines
There are two types of these famous reptilians: hybrids and full bloods. The hybrids are an alleged crossbreed between humans and full-blooded reptilians, who are too few in number to take over the planet – hence the reason they cloak their identity while manipulating world leaders and financiers behind the scenes.
There is also a hierarchy, according to Icke, of which the full-bloods or Dracos, sit atop, maintaining control of the hybrids who are unaware they are even reptilian. The world’s most influential political figures are of the hybrid ilk, including modern presidents, prime ministers, and bankers. Others believe hybrids exist as reptilian celebrities, but Icke typically sticks to institutions and political entities – especially those with nefarious histories like the CIA, Bilderberg Group, and the Trilateral Commission.
In one of his most renowned titles, The Biggest Secret, Icke meticulously charts the bloodlines of a family called the Merovingians – a central connection of French nobility that links ancient Egyptian pharaohs and Roman Emperors to the British royal family, U.S. Presidents, and nearly every other influential political figure of the last few centuries.

Reptilian References in Ancient Cultures
Icke says there is mention in the Nag Hammadi of not just Reptilians, but also the Greys, commonly reported as one of the less-than-friendly alien species humans encounter. These, too, are manifestations of the negative Archontic form, he says.
Icke also points to the Old Testament, in which the Nephilim, a.k.a. the “fallen ones” fit into his theory of a descendent race infiltrating humanity. Some translations interpret the Nephilim as giants or others as fallen angels, but in both cases, they interbred with humans. Icke says these are the Reptilians, and depictions of them can be seen throughout disparate religions and cultures in antiquity, worshipped as gods or demi-gods like the Nephilim.
In ancient Sumer, there is a literal statue of a Reptilian goddess cradling its offspring. Ancient Egypt has Apep; the serpent deity that embodied chaos and opposed light. In Mesoamerican culture, there was Quetzalcoatl or Kukulkán, the flying, feathered, reptile god, who created the cosmos. And Indian religions including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism speak of the Naga, a human-snake hybrid demi-god that are potentially dangerous to humans.
Were they the half-blooded reptilians Icke warns us of today?
Whether you ascribe to Icke’s rather fantastical theory, his sentiment and the foundation of his histrionics stem from a genuine concern for humanity and the oppression he sees from an elite class, the one percent. This anxiety is shared by a lot of people in the world, particularly in this day and age. And for that, it’s difficult to completely dismiss Icke’s ideas, Reptilian aliens or otherwise.
Praying Mantis Aliens: The Mysterious Insectoid Extraterrestrial Race

Mantis aliens, also known as Praying Mantis aliens, are perhaps the most mysterious extraterrestrial creatures. These beings appear within many alien contact scenarios, with contactees reporting the presence of these entities looming over their beds as they wake in the dead of night. While the Mantis is not as widely reported as the Grey or Nordic alien, it still holds an important role within many extraterrestrial contact scenarios.
Some researchers have considered Mantids as a possible example of an early form of intelligent life from planet Earth itself, but this is only one theory of the origin of these creatures.
Mythology
Insect beings appear within mythologies throughout the world, including Native American and African folklore. The Khoisan tribe of Africa specifically regards the mantis as the first living creature on the Earth, who granted life to animals and humans, inventing language, and bringing fire to the people. It is even said that the mantis created the moon as a guide for hunters by throwing a gallbladder into the sky.
Insects embody a quality of “otherness” in their demeanor and appearance, and this lack of mammalian attributes tends to alienate and upset human beings, leading to the death of many insects. While the mantis is easily the most human-like arthropod, there exists a deeply rooted fear of otherness that is generated when a person encounters such a creature.
Could this human reaction explain the common experience of paralysis that Mantis beings induce when contacting Earthlings? The possibility of paralysis as a precautionary measure against the overwhelming human urge to destroy the “other” cannot be discounted.
Origin
The origins of Mantis aliens are shrouded in mystery, with some theories suggesting they hail from the Draco system. According to these beliefs, Mantis aliens work in close conjunction with the Reptilians, another well-known alien species. This collaboration is thought to be part of a broader cosmic agenda involving advanced technology and interstellar influence. While concrete evidence remains elusive, these ideas contribute to the intriguing and complex narrative surrounding Mantis aliens and their place in the broader extraterrestrial landscape.
Characteristics
Mantis aliens are distinguished by their unique physical and behavioral characteristics, setting them apart from other ancient aliens. Their insectoid features and advanced cognitive abilities offer a fascinating glimpse into the diversity of life forms that may exist beyond Earth.
Physical Appearance
By far the most striking aspect of the Mantis alien is its physical kinship with the praying mantis, the carnivorous and bipedal insect of its namesake. Many report these beings as 6-7 feet tall, with long, thin torsos. Their necks, arms, and hands have additional joints. Their heads are insect-like and triangular, with large, slanted eyes of deep brown to black.
Most Mantids are described as dark brown, but other colors such as green and black have also been encountered. Their bodies are composed of a segmented exoskeleton, and some contactees have reported that the Mantis seem to be coated in an oily substance. Mantis are often encountered wearing long robes in a variety of colors, perhaps signifying rank, while some are unclothed.
Communication Methods
Although the Mantis tend to communicate with human contactees using telepathic messages, they have been witnessed engaging one another using auditory language. Several contactees have described the Mantis language as a series of clicking sounds exchanged between the creatures.
Abilities
Some experiencers state that the Mantids are also shapeshifters and use advanced technologies to create a field around their bodies to make them appear human.
Intentions on Earth
The perceived motivation of the Mantis’s interest in humans is just as mysterious. Some contactees describe these creatures as positive, uplifting beings who seek to protect humanity and the Earth. One common thread found among many abduction scenarios is centered around the use of holographic projections as a means of education.
Contactees often report Mantis beings showing them holographic images of the destruction of planet Earth to illustrate the possible negative impact that our species could have upon the planet.
Others have reported an increase in psychic abilities post-contact. Many experiencers claim that the Mantis beings appear to possess the uncanny ability to put contactees at ease, offering telepathic words of comfort that eliminate the fear of an encounter.
Encounters and UFO Sightings
Mantis alien encounters and UFO sightings have been reported in various locations around the world, shedding light on the roles these enigmatic beings might play. Notably, in the United States, there have been several claims of encounters in Phoenix, Arizona, where residents reported seeing UFOs accompanied by descriptions of insect-like creatures. Similarly, in rural areas of the UK, witnesses have described interactions with mantis-like beings during unusual aerial phenomena.
During these abductions, Mantis aliens are often described as overseers or leaders, appearing to hold positions of power. They are typically accompanied by smaller Grey aliens, who seem to perform tasks under the Mantis’s direction. These smaller Greys are assumed to function as drones, controlled by a hive mind and utilized by various alien races.
The nature of these alien encounters frequently involves both medical procedures and instances of interrogation, with the Mantis playing a central role in these complex interactions. Reports of such experiences extend to other regions as well, including the Amazon in Brazil and provinces like Alberta and British Columbia in Canada, where witnesses have similarly described mysterious UFO sightings and encounters with beings of insectoid appearance.
Human DNA Harvesting
However, some return from their experiences with the Mantis with a darker perspective, suggesting that the Mantis may wish to conquer and control Earth rather than aid in human ascension. There are beliefs that a Mantis hybridization program is currently underway, using human DNA to create a new species.
Some report encounters with Tall Blacks, creatures thought to be the result of such hybridization. Experiencers describe these beings as incredibly tall and more humanoid than insectoid, with black skin, extremely long limbs, and extra joints on their appendages. These scenarios are very similar to those involving Mantis aliens and often revolve around medical experiments. One of the most chilling features of the Tall Blacks reported by many abductees is their glowing red eyes.
Regardless of the true motivations behind the Mantis species, their fascination with human DNA and behavior is evident from abductee accounts. Has anyone ever encountered a Mantis or insect-like alien? Are they benevolent overseers or intimidating figures conducting unsettling experiments? Keep an open mind. Only time will truly tell.
