I believe in them, but not in the sense that they are actual "reptilians". I think it is just a metaphor, just as many religious texts were actually meant to be interpreted metaphorically, yet people mistakenly take every word literally at face value. They are shape shifters in the sense that to the public they have one appearance and set of values, whereas behind the scenes they are engaged in lots of "shady stuff"- manipulation of the public, deceit, destroying our planet for monetary gain, etc etc.

Ive known two people who have believed this... Ive looked at both like they were insane, which was a shock to me as they were both cool normal people otherwise

Some instances, sure history has always been the victim of bad translation.

But for this story/stories/lore I don't see much that would lead you to believe its a metaphor. What descriptions of lizards/reptiles would you use to form a basis of it being a metaphor for capitalist pigs(or whatever)? Hopi native americans who claim "they are our snake brothers who built underground cities and lived there." Sure, there are things lost in translation, but It goes on with cultures describing visual lizards, and its usually from people quite familiar with the language/lore (as it was passed down to them )/they are part of the culture. And most of the time, are native speakers of the written/spoken language.

Definitely, things are lost in translation. But these are very specific translations it would appear with very specific information. Where as translations do find tangible artifacts/cities that the word/work was discussing, like the Bible for example. Some stuff is clearly a bad translated story, but when you have a translator of the language telling the story from grandparents/forefathers... It seems to be that they are at the least, confused about what they saw.

Justin Bieber is an animorph

 

[ricardokenshin]

I visit the david icke forums frequently and there is very little reptilian discussion there. I was disappointed

(lots of other crazy conspiracy theories though)

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

These are some of my favorite videos on youtube

endless entertainment

 

[More Fun To Compute]

I'll believe in the reptilian shapeshifters when the disembodied voice from another galaxy tells me to and not a moment before.

I agree.

"Boom!"

Please keep posting these vids guys. The Avril one was good too.

No, you are crazy.

Oh Shit!!!

Hahahahahahahahahahahhahaha.

No.

 

[Amir0x]

Of course it's real. I mean, it's so obvious. Just look at all the evidence!

 

[nitewulf]

Where do you think Stella Artois comes from?

fuck, i was gonna write something witty, but this takes it. almost spit out my drink.

 

[Head of Vengarl]

On the one hand, people like you are funny.

On the other hand, people who actually believe nonsense like this are batshit crazy, which scares me. But I guess when billions of people believe in religious insanity like virgin births and people who rise from the dead, you aren't that crazy by comparison.

 

[manueldelalas]

The evidence keeps pilling up; look at the greatest games of all time:

Zelda OOT: It has a full dungeon dedicated to reptillians; with reptillian monsters, and, wait for it, A REPTILLIAN BOSS. Not only that, but when Link grows up, he needs to go near that place again, to fight the REPTILLIAN GOD of fire and get his powers, because salvation is not possible without them.

Chrono Trigger: A full chapter dedicated to reptillians, not only that, but they hold the power to SUMMON an intergalactic reptillian like God that can destroy the universe.

Super Mario: Last boss is a reptillian, and to improve his popularity, Miyamoto had to do a reptillian friend for him; and then make a franchise completely dedicated to the reptillians.

Arkham games? Reptillian boss. Metroid? Reptillian boss AND nemesis. Megaman? Reptillian boss. Dragon Quest? Full of reptillian characters. Xenoblade? Reptillian civilization starting.

Coincidence? Yeah right!

We were all, maybe we ssshouldn't plant cluesss to our plansss in a bunch of video gamesss for no reassson.

And the Grand Chillblood wasss all like, "NO! IT'LL BE HILARIOUSSS!"

 

[Sojgat]

This is obviously insane nonsense, but then again, anyone telling you so... could be a lizard person.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Pfft reptilian shapeshifters? Do you even conspire?

Amateur league brah, all pros are up on the zombie mole nazi hybrids that are camouflaging themselves with unicorn juice

 

[Palabrah]

Just Don Rumsfeld.

Came for this

 

[Warm Machine]

So when these lizard people die their skeletons and remains look just like a regular human huh. Because you have to think that one of these things has gotten hit by a car or wandered through the desert or got shot or fell off a roof or something yet maintained their human visage.

The Hopi stuff seems to stem from a story fabricated in the 1930's:

http://skeptoid.com/mobile/4046

Most amusingly that never even claimed they were reptilian, they were just a clan:

The Lizard People, the legend has it, regarded the lizard as the symbol of long life. Their city is laid out like a lizard, according to the legend, its tail to the southwest ... its head to the northeast.

It's easy once a theory is presented to then go back through history to find things to support it, but do further stories lend any more weight to it?

Ancient tales of fantastical things are most likely just that, fantastical tales from much less enlightened times.

If someone reported seeing a mermaid today, would historical accounts of mermaids lend more credence to his claim?

 

[Bronetta]

I have another friend who thinks that reptilian culture is really elaborate and they have they rituals, dances, and chants they perform in order to invoke magic and transform.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[triplestation]

If u believe in it you are automatically labelled crazy

Its pretty much an automated response everybody has been conditioned to react this way

The reptiles are aware of this and its what keeps them on the down low

Think about it

The truth is out there

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

does a beer shit in the woods?

That was some freaky shit. I don't think the world is ready for these revelations.

It didn't even mention any of that scary ancient Egyptian shit and that's the real demonic stuff.

My friend still thinks all this is silly nonsense.

OP you never explained WHY you think it might be true. Or are you just trolling?

Well it's like Area 51, aliens, or the Illuminati. I don't have proof they exist but you don't have proof they don't exist either.

Plus its a well known fact some of these cultists are into the ancient Babylonian and ancient Egyptian occult where a lot of this dark reptilian magic originated from.

 

[Rockyrock]

Why do people hate conspiracy theorists?

The entertainment value is off the charts.

I just wish I could get the screenplay rights to some of them.
