Some 12m Americans either believe or aren’t sure if interstellar lizards run the US, a sizable number albeit less than the 66m who believe aliens landed at Roswell, New Mexico. David Icke, author of The Big Secret, says leaders - including George Bush and Bill Clinton - are extraterrestrials, and that lizard people run secret societies such as the Freemasons and the Illuminati. ‘Lizard people’ were even added to the 2008 Minnesota midterm ballot, which raised a few eyebrows (not among Lizard people, of course, as reptiles lack eyebrows).
