In his new book, "Human Race Get Off Your Knees: The Lion Sleeps No More" conspiracy king David Icke comes to the stunning conclusion that our Moon circling this Earth is an artificial satellite or "spaceship" put into orbit by the Annunaki thousands of years ago to control mankind and the planet. It is a hollowed out metal shell or planetoid inhabited on the inside by remnants of our Annunaki reptillian masters and used as a "computer" to rechannel the Sun's photonic energy and produce an illusory veil or "matrix" reality upon the planet in the manner portrayed in that classic sci-fi movie "They Live". The Moon is in short a giant dish or receiver transmitting or broadcasting a signal or false 3-D reality which our reptillian-brain cortex picks up and deciphers as our present reality. It also works on our pineal gland keeping our conciousness in a low vibratory state and preventing us from realizing our true nature or full potential. Icke also says our Moon is conspicuously "oversized in relation to the Earth; most planetary moons are much smaller in comparison. He also believes this is the modus operandi of the Annunaki who introduce moons around planets as the first stage towards their subjugation. His South-African shaman friend, Credo Mutwa, tells him of the legend of two brothers(the equivalents of Enki and Enlil) who "hollowed out and rolled over the egg(Moon) towards the Earth hundreds of generations ago causing huge cataclysms in the process. This was the fall of mankind. This theme of a peaceful and thriving humanity invaded by a technologically superior race and brought to slavery and ruin is echoed in the movie "Avatar" by James Cameron. They do this with all the planets they visit; first they infiltrate and subdue the inhabitants and then they rape the planet's resources. When the resources are used up they move on to another planet/world. Much of our gold, water, and even people are being shipped off to the Moon on a regular basis to be used as resources and then even transported from there to other destinations. Not all of the Moon's effects are negative -some are quite useful or necessary such as regulating the tides or oceans, enabling reproduction, and acting as a memory storehouse for the planet. In general however, the Moon has a weakening or draining effect on life and the planet and would be better off replaced by a smaller and friendlier object.
