Iconic and Archaix
What an interesting series of events. Three days ago, this video wasn't even on my radar. Two things happened at the same time. Big John is in communication with Brian Foerster, who apologized for his intermittent contact. He's in the middle of nowhere, always in South America, Egypt, or Asia. Brian Foerster contacted us and said, "Hey man, I've got no signal out here and all my bandwidth only allows me to just convey messages and emails maybe one sentence long and my signal breaks." So, we've been getting broken messages from Brian Foerster and now we know why. He told us there was no way he could go live with us from way out in the middle of nowhere.
At the same time that I find out we're rescheduling Brian Foerster, I get an email with a link to something about David Icke. David Icke has always been praised in Archaix. I have always spoken highly of this man, maybe prematurely, but I'm going to let you guys decide for yourself because I'm a data guy. I'm not giving you opinions; I'm going to give you the facts. For years, I've been telling you guys that he was a part of my education. But I've also been telling you that there comes a time in the growth of the soul that we have to admit we've outgrown not only our peers but even our masters, those who have educated us. In the case of David Icke, I have absolutely outgrown him and didn't even know it until recently when I got this email.
The email was very specific. It said, "Hey man, you've been very vocal about some of these people putting out information in the field, but you seem to be protecting David Icke." This came as a shock. So I answered this individual and said, "I really appreciate your opinion, but I think you're wrong. Where have I protected David Icke? I even have a video where I'm criticizing the 'soul trap' deal and naming David Icke and I disagree with him."
The email said, "Well, there are certain topics where you've unleashed a massive amount of data and none of these guys will debate you, which is very impressive. But not only will they not debate you on these topics, they're not even doing videos countering this massive amount of data that you bring to the table. They don't even mention Archaix." The person pointed out that Jimmy Corsetti has never said "Archaix" out loud, nor has Graham Hancock or Randall Carlson. Billy Carson won't say the name of my brand. The email continued, "But you're protecting David Icke. David Icke totally ignores this massive amount of material you bring to the table. David Icke theorizes that we live in a simulation, but in Archaix, you showed us video after video, laying out historical timelines that absolutely prove we live in a mathematical construct. And none of these guys ever mention you or your channel. And you never add David Icke to this list of Graham Hancock, Randall Carlson, and Jimmy Corsetti."
This came as a shock to me. I did not know until this man's email brought this to my attention that David Icke is supposed to be named with all these guys. I've grown out of David Icke years ago, but I'll be damned. I'm going to show you in this video 100% that David Icke belonged in the same category as Graham Hancock, Randall Carlson, Jimmy Corsetti, Billy Carson, Matt LaCroix, and so many others that I've called out. It looks like I've been protecting him, and that is not my intent. I'm putting this video out because this was just brought to my attention. I had no idea David Icke of Ickonic puts out the same misinformation as all these guys I've been calling out. And it is absolutely unfair for me not to include David Icke. So that's what this is about.
Past Mentions and Allegations
Someone commented, "Yes, David Icke mentioned you in a book I read lately, The Dream." I've known that for a long time. In one little paragraph, he mentions that I'm an up-and-coming simulationist. Listen, I've been in publishing for over 20 years. I only started YouTube six years ago. But my YouTube channel is unique because from the very beginning I said that I was going to show from the historical record that we live in a simulation. No one has even come close to that. People theorize and pontificate that we live in a mathematical construct. They talk about it all day long on podcasts, using all kinds of modern anecdotes, and that's all good. But from the beginning, I said I was going to show it from the historical record, and I've done it with overkill.
Yeah, he mentioned me one time in a book. Big deal. Mentioning me one time in a book doesn't negate the fact that he promotes all the same misinformation these other guys do. It doesn't absolve him. It wouldn't even hurt my feelings if the next time he prints that book, he removes that paragraph, because David Icke is guilty of it as well. You'll see right here. He's made claims that he predicted things, and in order to make it look like he predicted things, he had a book republished. Because he changed the content of the book, he had to be issued a whole new ISBN number. I have both ISBN numbers: the original published book where the material is not in there, and the second published book that is the exact copy of the first, but with a new ISBN number because the new material was added in retrospect. The original book that he claimed those predictions were in doesn't have them. Guys, don't take me for a fool. I am one of the most well-researched YouTubers on this platform. All these new people coming to my channel, triggered because I mentioned David Icke, you've got another thing coming. You need to watch some of my presentations before you think I just fly off the handle. I'm not bringing you opinions; I'm bringing you facts.
The State of the "Truther" Community
So yeah, we had a really interesting scenario just unfold that delayed this video. For the very first time, StreamYard wouldn't connect to YouTube. I figured out it was my mistake. But because so many people from the Ickonic community have been very disrespectful in my comment sections across the Archaix universe—Facebook, Twitter, Telegram, and YouTube—I changed the title. The title was originally going to be "Truth Matters" with some subtitle, but now I had to change it to "Ickonic and Archaix: Separating the Fictions from the Fact." Apparently when you change the title, StreamYard doesn't recognize the YouTube version anymore, so it totally kicked me out of my own studio and I had to start over.
You've heard all my praises of the man throughout the past six years. I've dropped David Icke's name and his work, like Children of the Matrix, and how he began my education into realizing this world isn't what we think. He was a great stepping stone, but I'm going to tell you now, that's all he was. I took from David Icke what I could; I cannot take anymore. He's not the same man he used to be. I've read his books, and that's the only contact I've had with him. I'm going to cite his books right here so you know that I'm not making anything up.
The Return of Banned Accounts
We can only judge things by their effects. David Icke has returned to YouTube, but so have many others. Charlie Ward, that shill, has returned. So many of them that were kicked off have returned. Now, you guys know that I took offense. I directly quoted David Icke. If it had been a simple comment like, "Oh man, there ain't no one real left on YouTube. They kicked all the real accounts off," I could overlook that. But David Icke won't shut up about it. He's said it 200 times in the past three years. Every time you hear David Icke talking, he's always saying the same thing. It comes to the point where, who are you talking to, man? Archaix is on YouTube. Are you saying I'm not telling the truth? If you had just made a comment in passing, it would be over. If you had reiterated it two or three times out of frustration, I get it. But it's become a part of who he is now: "Oh, I'm the fallen truther. Everybody else on YouTube must be a liar." When you say something 200 times to your huge community, I'm allowed to take offense now. I'm human, too. I don't expect any type of apology forthcoming, but if you're going to say some bald statements like that, you need to take your medicine, David Icke. I'm giving you your medicine in this video right here, and don't expect an apology from me either. It's just the way it is. When you put yourself out there in the public, you put yourself out there to be scrutinized. Every element of my life has been scrutinized since I was adopted at five years old. YouTubers have gone full metal jacket all over my history. It comes with the territory. You don't see tears in my eyes.
World Alternative Media, The Corbett Report, and Press for Truth have also returned to YouTube. The common denominator is they were all axed when our controllers were trying to pass off a lie in 2020. We give David Icke and many others credit for exposing that lie. That's what got them kicked off YouTube, and that was absolutely a badge of honor. But in 2020, I didn't even have a thousand subs. I was unknown. I had 12 people in my live chats. I would have never been kicked off of YouTube because I wasn't even a platform yet. No one had even heard of Archaix yet. I started my channel in late 2019 and didn't get any traction until late 2021. But anyway, all these people were axed because they were attacking the narrative that was unfolding at the time, and they were significant channels with a lot of listeners. So, much kudos to them. I'll never take that away from them.
But I'm not stupid. One thing I've never been accused of is being dumb. There's no way in hell YouTube brought all these channels back just because they're altruistic. No. I've told you guys for the past five years about the rise of the Christian Reich, and it's happening right as we speak. I also told you that at the same time, there would be a rising worldwide sentiment, especially in Western nations, of an anti-Semitic phenomenon. Both of these have come true. There's an agenda unfolding. There's a reason they brought all these channels back to YouTube, but that's not the subject matter of this video. It's not their fault they were brought back. More kudos to them.
Santos Bonacci and the "Truther" Landscape
Someone mentioned Santos Bonacci. Yeah, Santos came back, too, but he's in a different category. I'm watching Santos right now. Santos had two gigantic channels, Syncretism Society and Mr. Astrotheology, which went down with a lot of controversy. We still don't know what really happened. Santos has not done a video yet and just said, "Hey man, I understand I went through some tumultuous times." We know something nefarious happened and it affected Santos Bonacci. Then he went on a rant and did 13 videos where he called out every Jew in the world and called them pedophiles. He just went off. How do I know? I recorded those videos. He named politicians, actors, and so many different people, putting their dirt out there. Santos wasn't lying, but he did it on his huge YouTube channel, and YouTube axed both Syncretism Society and Mr. Astrotheology. He purged himself about 11 months ago; it was recent. He wasn't part of the 2020 purge with David Icke and the others. It's a fundamentally different scenario, but all of a sudden, he appeared right back with them.
So, I'm watching. I'm entitled to be cautious and careful with what I expose my community to. I have a responsibility to my community to make sure that I don't fall for any BS. Until I see otherwise, until something logical comes out that I can put the pieces together to figure out what really happened, I'm going to keep people at arm's distance. I owe no one anything; I only owe my community. So Santos Bonacci is not off the table. I may invite him to the channel, but I have to see evidence that there's no bait and switch here. They can remove an individual and then replace them with a very convincing AI, except their message changes. We've already seen it unfold with others. All the world's a stage, and the whole world's a circus, but I'm not going to take my turn playing the clown. I already did that for years.
The World is a Stage
It's another one of the reasons why I just don't listen to David Icke anymore. When he pops up on my feed on X (formerly Twitter), he's always just taking off on all these larger accounts, basically trying to get their attention. And these big accounts ignore him. It's just gotten ridiculous. David Icke's present behavior—always bemoaning, lashing out—is directly connected to his viewpoint on reality. We're going to talk about his various theories like "soul trap," how he processes information, and how he sees the world. You're 70 years old, and instead of being happy and recognizing the clown show for what it is, you just stay angry at all these gigantic accounts for saying political things you disagree with, as if politics is a real thing. It's not. As if voting is a real thing and it changes anything. It does not. As if you actually have a say in how the world unfolds, which you do not.
Me and David Icke's worldviews are totally different. He thinks the world is something that can be saved by personal activity. I tell you all the time that we're in an evil construct, a predator-versus-prey ecosphere, and that you're not here to change the world. You're here to pass through it. We also have fundamentally different messages about what's going on while we're passing through it. To David Icke, it's a very dark scenario. In Archaix, it's not dark at all. The construct is dark; we're just prodigal souls passing through. There are fundamental differences between David Icke and I—all big ones.
The news doesn't report anything; it manufactures it. It is so ridiculous. We're already 39 minutes into this, so let's get into Mr. David Icke. I don't know much about his history. I know he was in broadcasting; he was into sports. So, we're not dealing with somebody grassroots who just came up out of nothing. Apparently, he was already well-known before he claimed he was Jesus Christ and then started talking about lizards everywhere. That's how he started in social media, right around when the internet became a thing in 1991. Someone said he was a football goalie.
I'm just laying the facts out and letting you guys form your own opinion. I do feel a little sheepish that for four years I've been seriously calling out professionals, man, to back up their research. Over and over, I see people putting out research that is completely wrong. I still stand alone as probably the only chronologist left in the world. I don't know of any peers. I've read hundreds of chronological materials and thousands of books, and I've proven that to my community.
But when it comes to David Icke, I'm not going to lie. I've told you guys in the past, there's just something innate within me that's always kept my distance. I didn't know what it was. But I tell you guys all the time, intuition is the predecessor of knowledge. The greatest truths are found by you intuiting them first; only later are they proven. And intuitively, I knew that I needed to stay away from David Icke, but I didn't know why until I got this email three days ago. The person politely accused me of gatekeeping, of protecting David Icke when I call all these other people out. The truth is, in the past three days, I did a deep dive on all of David Icke's stuff because I did not know he promoted all the same things. It's been 20 years since I read Children of the Matrix and well over a decade since I read his other books. So, to find out that this guy is right... yeah, I feel a little sheepish because David Icke should have been in all those call-outs.
David Icke's Misinformation
Let me just show you. Don't let me convince you of something. Someone made a comment on Twitter that David Icke is not back on YouTube, but his son's platform, Ickonic, is. Well, David Icke himself said he was back on, so I'm just telling you what he said.
Another person said, "David Icke has been banned in 30 countries." Being banned from 30 countries doesn't get me to trust you. Since when has that been a litmus test? The Jews were banned from 109 countries in less than a thousand years. I don't see any reason to trust them. So, it's a terrible argument.
For those of you who don't know, David Icke became super controversial when he actually said that he was the son of the most high God and later said that he was Jesus Christ. That sensationalist deal is what got people to pay attention to him. Mainstream called him a quack, and he took a lot of flak for that. I don't really condone it, but that's what he did, and he got a lot of attention. It's not impressive to me when critics of Archaix who favor David Icke drop things like, "Well, for over 10 years he was vilified." You were vilified for your own behavior. You did that to yourself. What did you expect was going to happen when you say, "I'm Jesus"? That is not evidence to me that you're somebody I'm supposed to be paying attention to.
Zodiacal Dating, Atlantis, and the Great Flood
Now, for the factual part. The videos on Archaix I've put out completely overturn everything I'm about to say about what David Icke does. I have sent professional invitations to debate every one of these topics because I'm very confident I can cover every element of this with source materials and logic. I did not even know that David Icke held these beliefs, and it's pretty sad to me because it's the exact same misinformation that Graham Hancock, Jimmy Corsetti, Matt LaCroix, Billy Carson, Randall Carlson, and so many others propagate. Sometimes it's even word for word. I can tell he hasn't researched antiquities, chronology, or anthropology; he's literally just citing these sources and putting them in his content.
David Icke follows the false zodiacal dating of precessional ages, claiming the Sphinx was made in the Age of Leo 13,000 years ago, copying the exact same mistakes as Hancock, Carlson, Corsetti, and others. The solar zodiac of Aries through Pisces is real, but prior to the 8th century BC, there isn't a hint of this system.
He also follows the "Atlantis was 9600 BC" misdating. I have corrected this and publicly claimed that there isn't a man alive who can overturn the historical facts showing the Atlantis story actually dates to the 13th century BC. He also claims Atlantis was a global high-tech civilization, that they spoke a proto-Sanskrit tongue, that the ruling cast were shapeshifting reptilian hybrids—none of which is in Plato's narrative. He freestyled more BS into the Atlantis narrative than even the Theosophical Society and the Order of the Golden Dawn combined. This doesn't mean he's a bad fellow, but when it comes to historical antiquities and chronological matters, David Icke is not qualified at all.
David Icke promotes the false chronological dating of the Great Flood of the biblical narrative to 9600 BC. The actual date, as shown in Archaix, is 2239 BC. He also promotes the misinformation that the Great Pyramid of Egypt was built in 10,500 BC, again, copying the flawed research of others. His own personal research doesn't disclose any of this because he doesn't have any.
Y2K, 2012, and Other Failed Predictions
I'm 52 years old; I remember Y2K real bad. David Icke promoted this fear porn, the computer crash scenario from 1999 to 2000. He gave elaborate public speeches telling people the power grids would be down for weeks, ATMs would be dead, there would be food riots, and the UN would occupy American cities. He said they would use the Y2K event to abolish cash.
He was also on the 2012 bandwagon. Before 2012, he wasn't saying there would be an alien invasion or cataclysm like others were. David Icke's scenario was that the end of the Mayan long count in 2012 wouldn't be anything seen; it would be a shift in consciousness. This is old mystical mumbo jumbo. In Archaix, you guys know 2012 is not the end of the Mayan long count; my expertise is ancient calendrical systems. The Mayan long count doesn't even end until 2046. The Maya did not recognize a 365.25-day year when the calendar was implemented. That year length was implemented in the 8th century BC because of a cataclysm.
But David Icke, sticking to the 2012 narrative, said the end of the Mayan long count was about a shift in perception that happens every 26,000 years. This 26,000 years is a reference to the 25,920-year zodiacal cycle, a system that is only about 18 centuries old, not ancient. He said that in 2012, the reptilian firewall can no longer block the galactic info field. He said 2012 was "delete day for the control system." None of that happened. There was no shift in perception, no delete day for the elite. If he amends his opinion to 2046, which is the actual end of the long count, then we could say he would be correct about it being delete day for the control system. That's what 2046 is about.
David Icke's Saturn-Moon Matrix theory requires you to believe that NASA tells the truth. I don't get how you can accept any NASA data whatsoever when you know NASA is a psyop agency. David Ike's Saturn-Moon Matrix theory absolutely requires you to believe that NASA's CGI images of planets are true.
For almost a thousand days, David Icke kept his community on the edge of their seats, saying World War III was imminent over Ukraine. He said, "By the summer of 2022, you will see NATO boots on the ground in Ukraine," and "tactical nukes followed by Christmas." He said all that at Wembley Arena. Well, you're listening to me in 2025. No nuclear war happened. It's 2025 and there are no NATO combat boots on Ukrainian soil. No martial law, no curfews, no tanks in London or Washington. We're still using cash.
One of the things that David Icke has taken criticism for is he said specifically that he predicted COVID-19 in 2019. He says, "I predicted COVID in 2019. I named the exact virus and the date on page 237 of The Trigger." If you go to page 237 on the 2019 edition, there's nothing on that page. But if you get the 2021 reprint of the same book, it now has a paragraph about this. The problem with that is that the 2019 version has the ISBN 9781916025820. But in the 2021 redacted version, a new ISBN number was given to it: 9781916025837. A lot of people are critical about that because the book was published two years after 2019 with the information added.
He's written some good books: The Biggest Secret, Children of the Matrix. But it's in those books and others like Tales from the Time Loop and Human Race, Get Off Your Knees where he's basically copy-pasting all the mistakes of Graham Hancock. This Atlantis stuff, Great Flood material, and Younger Dryas BS. He bought into that BS because they're popular authors. He's probably kicking himself now. "Damn, man. This shit's not true. Why isn't Graham Hancock answering this dude Jason of Archaix and shutting him the hell up?"
Soul Trap: Archaix vs. Icke
Let's get to the juicy part: soul trap. This is what initially led me to my big differences with David Icke. When it comes to the fact that this experience is simulated, we agree. But whereas he opines that we're in a simulation, in Archaix we show that we're in a simulation from the historical record.
David Ike's position is that the Gnostic Demiurge created a flawed material world to trap divine sparks (souls) in matter. Where we disagree is that he thinks this reality was hijacked; I hold that the simulacrum was designed this way. The predator-versus-prey ecosphere, the dungeon programming—all this is designed this way. I don't believe some evil god came in here and made this. This experience is exactly the way it's supposed to be because we don't belong here. We are pilgrims, sojourners, outsiders just passing through.
Here's a direct quote from David Icke: "Interdimensional entities maintain humanity in perpetual reincarnation to harvest emotional energy and prevent spiritual evolution." I see it as programming protocols. When you die, many report a tunnel of light. Icke calls this the trap. I totally disagree. Icke's theory means that no matter how you lived your life, the manipulation only comes after you die. Evil archons in the light trigger a manipulated life review that induces guilt or a sense of unfinished karma, convincing you to reincarnate. This is a huge fundamental difference. I believe the avatar is the reason we are in base reality. David Icke is claiming that once your immortal soul is free of the world, you can still be deceived and feel negative emotions. I don't believe any of that.
This table summarizes the core differences between our models:
David's "soul trap" theory seems to be an amalgamation of The Matrix movie combined with Poltergeist ("Don't go toward the light"). His exit model is entirely unprovable. The Archaix model has an entire program mapped out and supported in the historical record, chronology, and ancient institutions like the Great Pyramid of Giza.
If it wasn't for an email I got three days ago, I would have never explored all this. But I was accused of protecting David Icke when he's guilty of all the same anachronisms as all the people I've been professionally calling out for years. So from here on out, David Icke is included in that list. He has to be. He's literally copy-and-pasted all the mistakes of all these other researchers.
It has been noticeable to me in the last year that I get absolutely nothing from Ickonic. Archaix provides very original and unique research, and it blows my mind that all these other channels don't at least take concepts from Archaix and talk about them. How is it that across the field, Archaix has a massively growing and loyal follower base, and yet out in the field, Archaix is absolutely blacklisted? You tell me in the comments what you think is really going on.
That's my presentation, guys. I'm done. I'm just showing you the differences between the Archaix model and the Ickonic model. He does provide value to the field, but once you've gotten to a certain level, I'm done with David Icke. I can't grow in that direction anymore.
