INSIGHT

Time As A Perceptual Control Mechanism

Time is an illusion shaped by the observer and can be manipulated to control perception.
David Icke argues accelerating time perception is part of a constructed simulation that hijacks human behavior.

INSIGHT

Identity vs. Consciousness

Identity is engineered to be the human body rather than consciousness having an experience.
Icke says self-identifying as consciousness frees you from imposed limiting belief systems.

INSIGHT

Religion As A Division Tool

Organized religions and rigid belief systems function to divide populations and enforce perceptual walls.
Icke links this division to long-term control by a few who benefit from collective indoctrination.

This week on The Trueman Show: David Icke.

(Scroll down for Dutch👇🏼)

It’s January 1st, 2026 - a day for reflection and fresh intentions. We’re incredibly grateful to be starting the year with a true legend. For the third time in the studio, and perhaps at a more important moment than ever before: David Icke. 🥳

Do you ever feel like the world has been speeding up lately? Like the days are slipping through your fingers? David explains why that’s no coincidence. He shares his perspective that the past and the future aren’t fixed realities - and that, in the end, only the present moment truly exists.

Who are we, really? Are you a human with consciousness, or are you consciousness having a human experience? That difference changes everything. We explore how religion and science often become walls that limit, rather than support, our inner freedom.

We also look at how our perception is shaped. David shows how education, media, and technology influence the way we see the world from a very young age. He explains why critical questions are often discouraged, why ridicule is such an effective weapon, and why curiosity is essential.

Another topic that affects us all is artificial intelligence. According to David, the real danger of AI doesn’t lie in the technology itself.

In this podcast:

⏳ Why time feels like it’s speeding up
🧠 Consciousness versus identity

📖 Religion, belief and control

Deze week in The Trueman Show: David Icke

Het is 1 januari 2026, een dag van reflectie en nieuwe voornemens. We zijn ontzettend dankbaar dat we dit jaar mogen aftrappen met een legende. Voor de derde keer in de studio, en misschien wel op een belangrijker moment dan ooit: David Icke.🥳

Heb jij ook het gevoel dat de wereld de laatste tijd in een stroomversnelling zit? Dat de dagen door je vingers glippen? David legt uit waarom dat geen toeval is. Hij deelt zijn visie dat verleden en toekomst geen vaste werkelijkheden zijn, en dat uiteindelijk alleen het moment van nu bestaat.

Wie zijn we echt? Ben je een mens met bewustzijn, of ben je bewustzijn met een menselijke ervaring? Dit verschil verandert alles. We bespreken hoe religie en wetenschap vaak muren worden die onze innerlijke vrijheid juist beperken.

Ook kijken we naar hoe onze waarneming wordt gestuurd. David laat zien hoe onderwijs, media en technologie al vanaf jonge leeftijd beïnvloeden hoe we naar de wereld kijken. Hij legt uit waarom kritische vragen vaak worden ontmoedigd, waarom belachelijk maken zo’n effectief wapen is, en waarom nieuwsgierigheid onmisbaar is.

Een ander onderwerp dat iedereen aangaat: kunstmatige intelligentie. Volgens David schuilt het gevaar van AI niet zozeer in de technologie zelf.

In deze podcast:
⏳ Waarom het voelt alsof de tijd versnelt
🧠 Bewustzijn versus identiteit
🕳️ Hoe onze waarneming ons gevangen houdt
📖 Religie, overtuiging en controle
🔬 Waarom scientisme functioneert als religie
📺 Media, onderwijs en indoctrinatie
🤖 Hoe AI controle versterkt
🚫 Censuur en het sturen van perceptie
❓ Waarom vragen stellen belangrijker is dan ooit
