Kinell, I just noticed the list down the right hand side; £2,500 to visit the studio and meet David.

Bargain.

Yes you can but a significant number are anonymous so it would be an simple matter to conceal group donations.
US political action committees (PAC's) have been working that method for decades.

Same amount McCartney changes for people seeing him before the concert doing the sound check.
And people do go for that.

]I hope this People's Voice thing goes well. I won't be donating, so it makes no odds to me really if it ends up being gash.
I can't see what they're going to fill up all the broadcasts with - if it ends up with a load of factually incorrect gubbins it's not going to be any better than regular telly.

Has CV grubbed together the 10K needed for his own show is what I want to know.

Yeh I saw that on the list of proposals.
It's a good idea in theory... instead of having a load of hacks who only ask the 'right' questions. Stuff like that will surely ensure that the funding is an ongoing campaign though.... similar to Alex Jones. I suppose there is little other option though to keep it going.

I did indeed mean Charlie 'king of the anarchists' Veitch. I have no info, just a hunch.

Conspiracy theorists, he says, are often “bullied people. People who maybe didn’t get the girls at school… So they see a lot of rugger bugger types and they’re against anything to do with them. They will side with the devil, as long as the devil is against the West.” It’s impossible to avoid the observation that the person he describes resembles his own schoolboy self. And if his conflation of “rugger buggers” and “the West” is telling, so is his current ideological position.

“I’ve gone full circle in my Right-wing thinking,” he says. “There’s a professional victimhood in conspiracy theorists. There’s a hatred of high achievers.” Veitch is now hoping to set up a film production company and to carve out a new career as a documentary maker. As for his own involvement in the conspiracy movement, Veitch has a simpler theory. When asked what it was in his psychology that made him susceptible, he answers emphatically.

“Ego,” he says. “Ego made me vulnerable.”

This is a great idea and I'd like to see that work. Time will tell.

Wow!

There is soooooooooo much said in those sentences that was unintended I can only pity him at this precise moment.

Because if people don’t fund it then it won’t get made. When you have corporate control of every major medium then this is what you have to do to compete.

...People are so critical of what Icke & Jones do wrong they don't give them credit for what they do right...imo

I've been trying to remember the name of that channel on Sky that used to (& maybe still does) broadcast conspiracy / new age stuff - programmes like 'Question Everything', but am having a mental block. Anyone know what I'm talking about?.
