IF YOU SUPPORT WHAT DAVID ICKE IS TRYING TO DO, VIRTUALLY ALONE, AND YOU WANT HIS BOOKS AND WORK TO CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE, THEN PLEASE READ THIS ...
You may have seen on the website recently how someone claims in an email to be dedicated to destroying David Icke, his family and his work, and taking his books out of circulation.
The background is this. Someone incorporated David's books and other works in his own name with David completely excluded.
Imagine that. You have worked for 16 years against all the odds, and in the face of enormous abuse and ridicule, to create cutting edge material to alert people to their plight and some guy just puts it all under his own name and tells you he is in control of everything. Gutted is not the word.
David researched and wrote the books; arranged for them to be designed, proof-read and indexed; arranged for the art work and the production of the disk for printing; and paid for all these things to be done.
But when he took steps to have his life's work returned to his control this man stopped him getting any income from the sales of his OWN books. He said that he would only consider restoring the income - David and his family's livelihood - if David signed over rights to all his future works to him.
He also demanded $100,000 for David to regain control of his own books - a sum that could have destroyed everything David had spent 16 years creating. David's numerous requests to make the full accounts of the company available so he could see what he was dealing with were refused.
It gave David only two choices: To accept this extraordinary injustice or take legal action to recover control of what was his and restore the income on which his entire work depends to survive and continue, and to secure the livelihood on which his family depend.
In simple terms, the system means that even if someone does something like this it costs you enormous amounts of money in legal fees to put it right and recover what was yours in the first place.
David has won an interim order stopping this man selling his books and keeping the money, which will now be held in an independent account pending the legal outcome. The judge ordered the accounts and print disks to be handed over to David.
It was immediately after the judge signed this order that vicious emails were sent to David's office and 'Hate Icke' websites began to appear.
The point is that David's efforts to regain control of his own books, and therefore keep them in circulation, is costing a fortune in legal fees and we are asking for help in meeting these costs (see below). If we don't get this help then David's work is in serious danger of disappearing within weeks - which is what the above email says is the whole idea.
Why does this matter and why does David deserve our help?
Here is one view:
I can't believe what is happening to this man
People have no idea what David's life is like and what it takes to do what he does. Most perceptions are way off the mark. Being a well known author and campaigner for freedom and justice does not make for happiness, wellbeing and living in riches. Far, far from it.
That is not the point though. What David is doing is unlike anything else on this planet that I know of. He is so focused and dedicated to this work that his own personal happiness and desires always get pushed aside. His world is not the 'glamorous' one most people think it is.
There are other things he would like to do with his life, but he does what he does because he knows it is 'right'. We live in a world on the brink of a totalitarian global state. David Icke has dedicated his life to alerting people to this for the last nearly 20 years and now he needs YOUR help if he is to continue.
David's world is one of living in pain every day from arthritis ... so much so that when you read the millions of words in his books, his newsletter or on his Website, remember this: all of it was written by typing with two fingers because his hands hurt so much they are the only two fingers he can use. Every time he moves the mouse it is painful and often just turning his head slightly is agony. He doesn't ask or want sympathy for what he daily endures, but at this time he does need your support.
Those who have watched him standing for 7 to 8 hours on stage giving his all for those who have come to hear, remember this: he is in pain and wracked with exhaustion after year after year of pressing on against all the odds. The amount of work and stamina it takes to do all that he does is incomprehensible, yet he makes it look easy and hides it well. Behind the scenes, however, he is constantly on the brink of exhaustion because of his workload and the constant pain that depletes his energy.
Welcome to the real world of David Icke.
It is a world that people like the man involved in this legal case never see or even begin to understand. People like him have no idea who David Icke is, what he does, or what it takes to do what he does. It is stomach turning.
David has been ridiculed beyond measure, his character has been assassinated, he is physically, emotionally, energetically and psychically attacked ... but still he goes on.
He lives a very modest life in a small flat with one bedroom while he sees idiots and manipulators claim that he does his work only for the money and, in one case, that he lives in a mansion!!
His daily workload is fantastic and most of it is done for no financial return. It involves him getting up early every day and sitting in front of a computer for up to ten hours a day to get through all that needs doing - and this is even without dealing with the legal battles, threats and distractions from those trying to pull him down.
Why does he do it? Because he knows it to be 'right'.
I don't know how he does it. His threshold for pain is certainly way beyond mine.
David is someone running straight at 'em. A maverick who is prepared to go where others fear to tread. Many people say they support him, but how many are going to take the chance to do that when he desperately needs help at this time?
At the moment David is sailing in troubled waters and needs your financial support. He is but one man and the situation before us is dedicated to destroying him. We can't let this happen.
There is an attempt to silence him by a vengeful man and I for one won't have it. This is an effort to break him and his family financially. We can't all do what he does on our behalf, but we can make sure he can continue to do it.
We need to come together and support him. I am asking you to do what you can and help contribute to the Legal Defence Fund necessary to keep this boat afloat.
We are in this together and what is happening to David is actually happening to all of us because his efforts give all of us a voice that can be heard. He is the messenger and we cannot allow the message to be silenced. This will not happen if we all stand up and say 'no'.
This is the beginning of understanding.
To know that we are responsible for making our days
And each and every one of us is responsible for our life
It is ours to own for making it this way
And we are the ones we have been waiting for to make the change.
