I'm not even going into the whole "secret aliens here on Earth" thing. But RuneSpider had it right in about the third or fourth post. It's just a phrase to denote the rich non working class, It comes from a time when non working, (and therefore pale - showing blue veins), was only for royalty.

This idea was repeated as folklore in the late middle ages, when peasants and royalty alike were sure the gentry actually were a better form of human. The expression at some point was adopted with pride by the royals themselves. The term becoming looser and looser as time went on, to eventually include the mercantile class. (These latter "blue bloods" were often classed as either "pretentious" or "old money." These terms most often used in the US.)

The expression seems to have no alien connection, IMO.

This may have come from is haemophilia in the royal family (yes, there is a blood disease in the royal family's genes) and as such, it is known as "The Royal Disease" which apparently affects male members of the royal family far more than female.

Interestingly enough, Rapustin the mad monk was claimed to have cured Alexei, the tsarevich of Russia's disease.

Blood screening for the disease was only put in action in 1975.

Other than this, it is possible that because the majority of ordinary folk were out toiling in the fields while the royalty was not - they royalty at the time of the saying's invention were generally more pale than everyone else, and as such the superficial veins in their forearms were probably more prominent than that of the ordinary folk.


Icke may have overlooked this, or perhaps he was pulling the leg of the MSM.


p.s; Seeing as we're getting in the tone of declaring our ancestor's titles, it is believed i may be the great-great-great-grandson of the Earl of Crewe, who became a Bishop at one point or other.

It is insinuated that the guy had affairs with one/all of the maids at his residence.

So, what you are suggesting is the Royal Blue Blood may be some kind of a virus?

That's a lot better than one of my ancestors who was completely bat# and thought he was made of glass.

And not just his heart.

Blue blood come from the time it was fashionable for nobles to look pale.
Peasants and others would be toiling in the field or weatherworn and their skin would be darker.
Nobility could keep in the shade, quite excessively and remain pale. The veins that show up most in this case would be the deoxygenated blood returning to the heart, hence the term blue blood

It can be traced further back than this though to Spain and the term sangre azul



Robert Lacey explains the genesis of the blue blood concept: "It was the Spaniards who gave the world the notion that an aristocrat's blood is not red but blue. The Spanish nobility started taking shape around the ninth century in classic military fashion, occupying land as warriors on horseback. They were to continue the process for more than five hundred years, clawing back sections of the peninsula from its Moorish occupiers, and a nobleman demonstrated his pedigree by holding up his sword arm to display the filigree of blue-blooded veins beneath his pale skin—proof that his birth had not been contaminated by the dark-skinned enemy. (Robert Lacey, Aristocrats. Little, Brown and Company, 1983, p. 67)

Actually it may be literal.

Royal households used silver cutlery and were exposed to high amounts of activated silver ions, which make you turn blue... literally.

Heres an interesting video of a bloke who turned blue:
