He's not the only one. He couldn't be; WIkipedia has hundreds of articles he's never touched that have the same bent.
And as to the funds, again, from whom?
Look: politics need funding. Even though all political movements are made up of true believers at the bottom willing to live in squalor or impoverished to see their particular worldview come true, any level of success requires some kind of income. The believers need to be fed, housed, transported, and be provided with internet access, flyers, megaphones, rental space, parade permit $$$, etc. So some donors have to be found and convinced to drop money on the operation, or else it peters out.
Or take an extreme example: terrorist groups. While terrorist foot soldiers are always true believers willing to die for their cause, they still need money for ammo, weapons, explosives, safe houses, training, etc. So many either get a big rich donor (e.g. Osama Bin Laden) and/or turn to drug dealing and pimping for the cash.
So the question is: who are these Wikiepdia foot soldiers, and where are they getting paid from?
N.B. The "political/terrorist groups need money" angle is how the FBI/CIA/NSA find and radicalize folks to be terrorists. One classic sign of a person being a fed is when they start dropping tons of money on the group: buying food and recreational drugs, suddenly getting caches of weapons, etc. The FBI/CIA/NSA knows such folks need money and are only too happy to provide to buy their trust---only to betray later.
It’s one guy. He could easily have another source of funds.
