Introduction
The “Draco” reptilian conspiracy claims that Earth is ruled by shapeshifting, cold-blooded alien overlords who masquerade as human leaders and celebrities. Popularized by conspiracy theorist David Icke, the idea blends Gnostic archons, UFO lore, and paranoia about the ruling elite. Is it sci-fi, coded social critique, or a glimpse into another reality?
Origins
Myths of serpent gods and reptilian beings stretch from Sumer and the Bible to indigenous lore worldwide. In the 1990s, Icke tied them to modern global conspiracies, introducing the “Draco” as master manipulators behind secret societies, banking, and government.
Theories and Interpretations
- Shape-Shifters: Draco appear human but reveal true form under stress (according to witnesses).
- Ancient Bloodlines: Claims that royal families and politicians descend from reptilian DNA.
- Symbolic Reading: Some see the theory as metaphor for inhuman power and elite detachment.
Key Examples
- David Icke’s live seminars and bestsellers.
- Hundreds of reported sightings and “leaked” videos online.
- Pop culture: “V,” “They Live,” and even the British royal family’s “lizard” rumors.
Critical Analysis
Whether as metaphor, myth, or modern scapegoat, the Draco theory exposes the human urge to find meaning in power and to explain evil as literally inhuman.
