Maybe they don't bother to challenge these claims because a good many of his claims on other matters have been ludicrous, paranoid and blatantly untrue? The 'Turquoise Period' merely being the most infamous?
As for 'Satanism', what exactly do you mean by that? LaVeyan Satanism, which (for all its silly pomposity, ideological murkiness and outright ridiculousness) is the preserve of a handful of teenagers and a couple of LA porn stars for the most part? Or another kind of Satanism?
Satan is a medieval Christian invention. The name derives from 'Shaitan' - Hebrew for 'the adversary', and was never identified with a single individual, let alone 'The Devil'.
Icke actually touches upon some truths (albeit mostly arrived at by others and presented far more credibly) and (on occasion) displays a not-inconsiderable insight, but he's surrounded by crackpot antisemites attempting to use him to promote their own agenda. Not very nice people at all.
I agree that there is a control structure - anyone who doesn't believe so is as silly as the most ardent conspiracy theorist.
I have to ask, though, how have you arrived at the conclusion that Jimmy's abuse was in any way 'ritualistic' and not just merely opportunistic?
More to the point, what constitutes 'ritualised abuse'?
The whole control system is abusive and degrading, and acts like this reflect that fact, as do acts of violence and oppression of every kind. That's not the work of some cabal though, or even a network of them. It's a direct result of the fact that we insist on perpetuating a socioeconomic framework that stands directly in the way of human spiritual and emotional evolution and instead fosters and nurtures the least desirable and most destructive aspects of our simian genetic heritage.
Don't try and pin the blame on some imaginary demon created to scare peasant farmers into paying their tithes though, please. That just leads us on a wild goose chase that solves nothing. Meanwhile, things like this happen and we're too busy searching for a phantom with horns.
Oh alright, I admit it - it was the Jews all along.
