David Icke claims to have made a huge amount of money selling his lizard conspiracy stories, which are loose analogies of New World Order conspiracies. A surprisingly large number of people buy into the notion of there being a covert 'illuminati', whether of lizard people or fiendishly intelligent financiers, controlling the world of ordinary people.

Icky does market the lizard stories, and they do seem to sell? It seems that Stuart Wilde went from generic New Age books about making miracles, into more obscure content.
