David Icke deserves a lot of respect for doing what he has done over the years.
He gave up a very well paid career to try and make a difference in this world, there are early videos of him talking in the streets, often to ridicule and to very low numbers of people. He stuck with it and now reaches millions of people. If he makes a few quid out of his hard work, then good on him.
People seem to think he is making millions, when he is not. He invests his returns on creating more videos, and writing more books, he works EVERY SINGLE DAY 12 HOURS+, this is his life.
I don't believe everything he says, but if you read his books, so many things he discusses can be verified, his overall message has helped change how I see the world and he has my complete respect.
He isn't trying to raise £100,000 to spend on himself, he is going to use the money to try and make his message reach even more people and give people around the world a 'voice' to rival the MSM, offering people the choice of what to believe, rather than being told what to believe.

Wake people up from what exactly?
Are you implying that everything in the MSM is a lie?
What about a certain issue where you have the MSM taking opposing views such as FOX news and MSNBC...certainly you don't think they are in cahoots with each other do you?
Who is this MSM you talk about.
Is it the conservative Washington Post or the NYT....I'm very curious.

He makes more money from what he does now, than he ever did being a TV presenter!
He does talks/seminars all the time, to thousands of people at a time, and charges quite a bit for tickets.
He makes money from videos and merchandise.
He makes money from TV/radio appearances, public appearances.
He has written, and sold an lot of books, and continues to write books.
He has a website that gets a lot of traffic, and makes a fair bit of cash from that.
The man is coining it in, he is a global brand, and his new venture will generate advertising revenue.
He has many income streams, and there are probably more income streams we do not know about, so even though he has an agenda, don't be fooled into thinking he is not making lots of cash!
You say he invests his money in writing books and making videos, but writing a book cost very little to actually do
As for videos, the same again, he's not making high budget videos, and makes money on videos, so again I don't think he's putting too much of his money back into his agenda, he makes a lot more than he puts in.
