There comes a point when mythology collapses and only the truth remains. That point has arrived for Tim Ballard. For years, Ballard built a reputation that depended on myth rather than scrutiny. He presented himself as a central figure in a moral crusade while discouraging the very questions that would test his claims. His supporters followed suit, treating inquiry as hostility and criticism as betrayal. That posture is no longer sustainable. The declaration of Greg Rogers, a former FBI Special Agent with decades of undercover experience, states plainly that the “couples ruse” is not a legitimate investigative technique. It violates established standards and serves no operational purpose whatsoever. This is not opinion from critics. It is professional assessment from someone who spent a career doing the work Ballard claims to have done for profit. Aaron Asay, an insider with direct operational involvement, provides sworn testimony describing conduct and practices that contradict the public narrative. His account raises serious concerns about how operations were conducted and how participants were treated. Ryan Fisher’s declaration speaks to the origins and intent behind the organization itself. Krista Kacey’s declaration adds further allegations regarding internal conduct. Deanna Hanks provides an independent account placing Ballard, under his silly alias, in circumstances that raise additional questions about his behavior. The deposition of Jon Lines, a career Homeland Security official, further undermines Ballard’s claims of expertise. His testimony calls into question the depth and nature of Ballard’s actual experience. These accounts do not exist in isolation. They all align. They are reinforced by the Davis County criminal investigation, which includes internal communications, witness statements, and investigative findings that challenge public claims about operations, fundraising, and methods. These are law enforcement materials, not speculation. More telling is what has happened among Ballard’s former allies. Sean Reyes, once publicly aligned with Ballard, has distanced himself in the face of these allegations and the accounts of the women involved. Glenn Beck, an early supporter and financier, has acknowledged his failure. And the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints took the extraordinary step of excommunicating Ballard for conduct it deemed incompatible with its standards. Yet the Church has chosen silence when transparency is needed. If the institution found the conduct serious enough to remove him, then it bears responsibility to release the underlying findings. Withholding those records while allowing the public to speculate what they knew serves no one. It protects neither truth nor accountability. These are not critics. These are former supporters, financiers and institutional allies. They helped create and prop up the myth. Still, the most basic questions remain unanswered. How many children were rescued? Who took custody of those children? Where did all that money go? These are not unreasonable demands. They are the minimum standard for any organization that has raised hundred-of-millions under the banner of "saving the children". There has been no clear accounting. Instead there has been deflection, outrage, and a continued attempt to replace evidence with emotion. Supporters continue to repeat claims that have not been substantiated while ignoring a growing body of sworn testimony and documented records. The record now speaks for itself. Depositions. Declarations. Court filings. Investigative materials. American Crime Journal has compiled and continues to expand a legal archive containing these primary documents. This archive is not commentary. It is the evidence itself, available for public examination. This is no longer a matter of competing narratives. It is a matter of documented claims versus unanswered questions. Those who continue to defend Ballard are no longer doing so in the absence of evidence. They are doing so in defiance of it. The only question that remains is how much more of this record must surface before accountability is no longer optional. #TimBallard #OperationUndergroundRailroad #OUR #ACJInvestigates americancrimejournal.com/acj…

Absolutely ridiculous. Maybe instead of suing a podcast and John Dehlin, who by the admission of hundreds, if not thousands of people he and his guests have helped, how about not green lighting and endorsing rampant criminal fraud repeatedly under the ruse of "saving the children" and backing & funding known sex predators exploiting vulnerable third world countries? Start there first next time. Any day now. How about taking some accountability. Not blaming it on a dead "profit", because your current leadership has invested into Tim Ballard's front non-profits. Time to open Tim Ballard's file, so we can see when the LDS Church was told, about not only his sexual abuse, but the sex abuse of employees and the children who were abused in OUR funded aftercare facilities and employees or should I say "volunteers"? We got the same email the LDS Church did in 2020. The original was dated 2017.

ACJ has fully indexed "The Deposition of Jon Lines". Before you read the deposition, This is no longer about Operation Underground Railroad and Tim Ballard's mythology. It will become immediately clear that this is not the polished version of events that has been sold to the public. If we are to be serious for a moment, there is at least one fact that cannot be evaded: Sound of Freedom was a false bill of goods, marketed through a Christian and conservative media apparatus that elevated a fantasy of human trafficking into accepted truth, long after years of warnings to the contrary. This is about people. It is about young women and victims of sexual abuse whose allegations, across parallel proceedings, records, testimony, and our reporting, describe exploitation, grooming, and institutional failure. It is about individuals who claim they were harmed, then ignored, minimized, and in some cases further abused. It is also about victims of fraud and deception: donors, supporters, and the public who were sold stories of heroism, flawless execution, and success, and are now confronted with sworn testimony, corroborated by our reporting, that raises serious questions about whether Ballard’s narrative was ever grounded in reality. At the center of this deposition is a different kind of examination: Not just what happened, but how decisions were made. This is about Tim Ballard’s integrity, experience, and leadership under pressure: -how dissent was handled -how risk was assessed -how operations were conducted It is about whether decisions were guided by: -professional standards -integrity -personal conviction -or something else entirely Because woven through this testimony are claims that go beyond ordinary judgment, including references to intuition, spiritual prompting, and what some may interpret as belief in extraordinary or divinely guided capabilities. And Jon Lines' sworn testimony raises the unavoidable questions that I have asked since day one, January 2020: Were any children rescued? Were legitimate rescues actually carried out, and to what extent? What methods were used? Were they lawful, effective, or theatrical? How many children were rescued and actually helped versus how many stories were told? Where did the millions of dollars go, and how were they used? These are not rhetorical questions. They are obligations. This deposition puts Jon Lines on the record, and it can no longer be ignored. His testimony, corroborated by our reporting, official statements, and additional testimony, forms a blueprint that now demands answers from municipal, state, and federal law enforcement, from the LDS Church, and most importantly, from Tim Ballard. -Damion Moore americancrimejournal.com/jon…

Tim Ballard's therapist inadvertently demonstrates actual Ghislaning because they do not have the education and skillset to develop their core competency to even have a rudimentary understaning of Epstein and Maxwell's relationship. Just like Tim and human trafficking. But Tim Ballard has many Ghislanes, as Tim Ballard's intellectual bankruptcy, hypergroomed ego, childlike delusions, wild imagination and due to his sexual repression, is hypersexualized and warped immature boyhood sexual fantasies and depraved overcomplex understanding of what should be simple concepts, his belief in high fantasy like inherent evil, psychics, black magic and super powers, so he needs a lot of women and some men to ground him, to be Ghislanes. Encouraging his wild fantasies while helping him do simple things like reason, function and complete everyday things. Ghislaning moving forward is a euphemism for "load bearing soulmate that is fully devoted to who they believe is some bizarre demigod, that is an emotional crutch to support, carry baggage and sets guardrails for their master to move along. Prioritizing all their wants, needs, desires, and burdens, while making sure the facade, illusions and delusions of their Master appears just and believes they are motivated, a supreme being, movie star celebrity that is successful and an alpha male navigating in both in his fantasy (The Ballardverse) and day to day. Just who are Ballard's Ghislanes? We have Jessica Mass, Katherine, Paul Hutchinson, Cherstyn Stockwell, former Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes (defected), Jon Lines (defected), Jerry Gowen, Teyva Ware (had nervous breakdown) and so many more, and then his cultists. Ballard's Ghislanes traded their credibility, integrity, decorated careers, emotionally abandoning their children and spouses, and they would go to prison for the rest of their lives, to ensure Tim Ballard's fantasy world and his image remains nice and cozy. For years they never saw a single child rescued or aftercare program, so Tim can be a hero, believe he is god and he has been betrayed. They cheer him and create some elaborate military operation that is not real, but very real to him. They set up these rules and prey on women, assure them that they need to rescue children. Just so he can act like a nervous 14 year-old molest women, try getting off on 1st and 2nd base. Oh look what has arrived. Looks like court records.... The deposition of Jon Lines, former Special Agent in Charge, HSI, Department of Homeland Security (ret) and former President of Operation Underground Railroad Jon Lines was Tim Ballard's Supervisor who would be a Special Agent, as Tim remained a line agent(trainee is a non-agent support staff) for the entire duration of his career. Typically people apply to automatically be a Special Agent. Line agents supports Special Agents. So, when you hired to be a Special Agent or promoted from line agent you are sent to: Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in which you have first complete the Criminal Investigator Training Program (CITP) which all federallaw enforcement trains(this is very similar to an academy level basic training it is about 12 week) This means you are a sworn licensed federal agent. But the Department of Homeland Security HSI program mandates Agents complete HSI-specific special agent training (HSISAT) It is 7 months long. This means that Tim Ballard was never law enforcement. Tim Ballard was basically civilian support staff. He wasn't a Agent at all. So this means Tim Ballard was like a Explorer. He didn't even go to basic training as a cadet. So Tim Ballard, as I said, was support staff. He didn't handle or plan investigations. He had no powers to arrest. Had no gun. Nobody applies to be a Line Agent. Unless you don't meet requirements. Tim Ballard was never a cop. I wonder if he even completed high school. Tim Ballard has lied and is impersonating former federal law enforcement officer.

The most common question I am asked usually by Utah men, often by members of the LDS faith is how I “reconcile” or explain Celeste Borys’ allegations against Tim Ballard. Some go further, suggesting she and Ballard were simply having an affair. Others ask whether I “see the problems” in her statements, or whether I truly believe her. Let me be clear: yes, I believe Celeste. Those issues you have? It is typical. And her experience is not unusual, it is typical for victims of sexual assault. From the moment I watched Celeste speak at the press conference, I recognized a pattern I have seen many times before. Still, we conducted a full investigation. We reviewed every piece of evidence, testimony, data, and corroborating material available to us. Only then did Lynn Packer join the legal team as a consultant, and only then did I step in as an advocate. I do not publicly support victims unless the evidence gives me absolute confidence. People ask, “How could a woman continue contact with the man who harmed her?” This question shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how sexual assault actually works. Once I went legit from the life around 2003/2004, and I retired still alive and not in prison. I still had two trials to go through and won. Before I ever wrote a word at ACJ, I had already spent years working on wrongful-conviction cases and with a legal nonprofit serving low-income families, women, and vulnerable communities. I also experienced firsthand what it means to be falsely accused and thrown into one of the worst juvenile institutions in the country, a facility now facing waves of lawsuits for the abuses committed there since the 1970s. I have seen what violence, coercion, fear, and survival truly look like. In 2024, all the lawsuits truth and internal that was secret. They remain to the PEACE Center. disgusting. No, it is Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) and an institution called Illinois Youth Center (IYC) St. Charles. IYC St. Charles. So, save the "bleeding heart liberal" accusations for someone else. You have not seen nothing until you seen a heterosexual male out turned on pure manipulation or fear alone. When guys asks for new pants about three sizes too small, and they use a pencil for eyeliner, the whole time they are in there, they are a woman. They are used to settle debts, the guards would purchased them and all sorts of things. I could never look at those guys the same outside. When you see a heterosexual man get turned into a woman for survival, they never said no, resisted or gave consent. They just started calling a man(older kid) Daddy. This is called getting "turned out". I was 13, and never prepared for seeing it. You're in jail, there is rape and stuff, but it scares you. You know, when Jessie Watters and Tucker Carlson started calling Trump "Daddy", I had flashbacks. I did. Cause I know of one type man does that. See my organization had a ban on homosexual behavior. It was a death penalty, of a horrific kind. Nothing against gays, we did business with them. Had friends. Members could not. It was viewed as a weakness, and extortion is the foundation of criminal organizations. This was to restore honor and then some. That background matters here, because it dismantles the naive belief that victims behave in ways outsiders consider “logical.” Violence is a language. A universal one. Before human beings had written words, we understood force, dominance, and intimidation. And when someone has power over you physical, emotional, spiritual, institutional you don’t simply “walk away.” Victims often remain in contact with their abusers out of fear, shock, shame, confusion, or because they believe they are somehow responsible. Utah struggles with this understanding more than almost any state. Why Utah doesn’t recognize what happened to Celeste Utah is dominated by a purity culture that defines a woman’s worth by her sexual “cleanliness.” It is a patriarchal environment in which many women are conditioned to protect the men who harmed them. Advocates in Utah, LDS and non-LDS alike have told me repeatedly that most Utah men do not understand what sexual assault legally or practically is. The statistics reflect this: Utah ranks #2 in sex offenses. Utah ranks #1 in unreported sexual offenses. Women in Utah consistently express distrust of police, church leadership, and even their own partners when it comes to reporting assault. In the six years of our investigation into Ballard and OUR, the most common message we have received has been from Utah women who were sexually assaulted or abused but never reported it. They are afraid of not being believed, They're afraid of being blamed. They're afraid of their family’s reaction, or of the consequences their husbands, fathers, or partners might face if they tell the truth. And this is why Celeste is targeted? Every man who tries to defend Tim Ballard, usually behind an alias, goes after Celeste first. She is the linchpin. If they can discredit her, they believe they can discredit everyone. But her behavior is exactly what professionals recognize as the most common pattern of victims: Victims may not immediately label what happened as “rape.” Victims may not resist or fight because they fear escalation. Victims often blame themselves. Victims frequently continue contact, hoping to normalize or make sense of what happened. Victims may defend their abuser because they know him socially, religiously, or professionally. Victims minimize their trauma to protect their abuser’s family. These are not exceptions they are the rule. Then we have a former LDS man say the courts decide "truth"? Call me "un-American"? Justin's legal misunderstanding, and I to make this clear, if you want me to take your bullshit seriously from now on, you need use your real name and spend some time on what you write, maybe investigate first, then write your bullshit? Back to Justin.... hopefully he wasn't turned out Justin, who once left the LDS Church but now defends Ballard with a fervor, stood on a public platform and insisted it was “un-American” to believe Ballard is guilty before a trial. He repeatedly invoked “innocent until proven guilty” as though it were a blanket prohibition on public judgement. What he didn’t understand is that this principle is 1,000 years older than the United States, rooted in Roman law and the Magna Carta. And more importantly, the doctrine is: “Innocent until proven guilty... IN A COURT OF LAW.” It is a restriction on government power, not human thought or public speech. The courts are not arbiters of truth, they are arbiters of punishment. If court rulings were the sole definition of truth, the First Amendment would have no purpose. It always feels like I have to educate people on the very thing they are trying to act as if they are standing on solid ground. Spend three or four years in hellhole and then tell me about the constitution. What is next? Bringing in the Bible? Claiming divine prophecy? So how do I reconcile Celeste’s story? With one word: education and experience. Utah’s culture is 20–30 years behind the rest of the country when it comes to understanding consent, sexual assault, domestic violence, and trauma. Many Utah men genuinely believe rape must involve physical violence, screaming, or torn clothing. They have no framework for understanding coercion, fear, psychological manipulation, or power imbalance. They believe a woman must fight. But they, themselves, would not fight. Women don’t disclose because they don’t trust the men around them to protect them, believe them, or react safely. And the behavior many have directed at Celeste proves their fear is justified. Final point This defense that "the women fell in love with Tim" You have never had a woman's heart if you believe that shit. Also, she was in love? Where I am from, we call this "Dirty Mackin". It is when a person tries to sabotage another man, a husband or boyfriend in order to get into her panties. Where I am from, if you want a woman, you get her on your own merits. Look if she is married and whatever, nobody knows her situation behind closed doors, or what she wants to do. But, for you to desperately have to lie, and try to sabotage it talking down on another is violation civilians on up. How desperate and pathetic. I would never trash another man to get a woman, that would get you beat down. Dirty Mackin. Plus Tim is married and she is married, now it is worse, because you're Dirty Mackin to a girlfriend, then got a friend involved? If you're taking his wife? You have to bad mouth him? Really? When I was kid, you got a beatdown for this. It's wrong. How desperate and pathetic. See, women don't like that. No wonder your success is so low, you try to get with a woman, by dragging a man down? If someone does not understand sexual assault, they should say nothing. Ignorance is acceptable, malice is not. Attacking victims because you don’t understand their behavior only reveals your own lack of experience, empathy, and education. I will continue supporting these women and educating the public. I cannot pretend any longer that Utah’s cultural attitudes are not part of the problem.

Take note: it takes Tim Ballard five seconds to spew a mountain of nonsense, and an hour to debunk it. Stop amplifying his lies. They are all lies. This includes SRA, Kevin McCarthy, and the so-called “Sound of Freedom Act.” All of it is bullshit. This is all well documented and public record. Perhaps it’s time to hold Tim Ballard’s feet to the fire and demand proof before repeating his delusions. His credibility is destroyed. He is an unreliable witness. Taking anything he says at face value risks your own credibility. When dealing with victims of abuse, remember: perception is reality. Using Ballard’s statements as if they were gospel is not only reckless, it’s dangerous. The very quotes and screenshots you are citing are verifiably false. No wonder the LDS Church disregards Ballard’s letters. If any of his claims were true, he could provide documentation. But he prefers you to take him at his word, counting on the incompetence of most of his supporters. Take the “Sound of Freedom Act” nonsense as an example. Not long ago, Tim Ballard learned that Alabama passed "The Sound of Freedom Act", which he had nothing to do with and disavowed by its author. Recently, he discussed it on a podcast and, as usual, took credit for it, however, he did not mention SRA or expose any trafficking network. SRA only recently entered his vocabulary to appeal to MAGA evangelical audiences. Let’s get the basics straight: 1) Tim Ballard did not hold a public hearing before Congress with Kevin McCarthy in 2023. He testified before two subcommittees on border security. 2) He did not mention SRA once; his testimony is publicly available via the House website and CSPAN. 3) There was no bill associated with his visit. The “Sound of Freedom Act” he now claims credit for emerged in 2024, drafted by Alabama State Representative Donna Givens, not Ballard. It made no mention of SRA. The reality: Kevin McCarthy was not present. Ballard was invited by Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), chair of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee, to testify on “Children Are Not for Sale: Global Efforts to Address Child Trafficking” on September 14, 2023—two weeks to the day after women publicly accused Ballard of sexual abuse. Ballard’s appearance was politically timed: the GOP was waging a public campaign against DHS Secretary Mayorkas, and Ballard was gearing up to announce a Senate run to replace Mitt Romney. He pressured Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes to introduce him to Republicans, lobbyists, AIPAC, and the Heritage Foundation. He may have a platform with the Heritage Foundation, but there is no verified relationship with AIPAC. The “Sound of Freedom Act” itself was inspired by the movie, authored and sponsored by Alabama State Representative Donna Givens, and signed into law in April 2024 by Governor Kay Ivey. Ballard had nothing to do with it. He was neither the inspiration nor present when the legislation passed. In short: Ballard perjured himself repeatedly before Congress, his testimony had nothing to do with a trafficking bill, and the “Sound of Freedom Act” is entirely separate from him. All claims tying him to SRA or legislative influence are fabrication. Stop amplifying his lies. Check the records. Demand proof. Ballard is not a credible source. Treating him as one is dangerous for victims, for truth, and for your own integrity. Right now, serious people, do not take Tim Ballard seriously. He is a whack job and a serial predator. Fact, children were sexually abused under his watch. When Ballard learned of this, one of the sexually abused orphans was pregnant. She was raped by a staff member at Foyer de Sion, an orphanage owned by Guesno Mardy and operated and funded by OUR. They took her to get an abortion. Ballard personally sent one of his most trusted associates, Jeff Frazier to "clean up the mess". Ballard feared scandal. Frazier arrived, there are 100 kids, in an orphanage designed to hold 40 kids. There is no running water. They are using 5 gallon buckets to use the bathroom. Let me paint the picture for you. 100 kids, defecating and pissing in 5 gallon buckets. At an orphanage funded and operated by Tim Ballard. OUR had $100 million in cash reserves. LIQUID CASH. They called over $40 million dollars in donations that year. Foyer de Sion was OUR's public facing child care front. You think they had aftercare anywhere else? Tim Ballard and Jeff Frazier won't name the pedophiles, they hired that raped impregnated a child. They refused. Tim Ballard is not a "good guy". He is not a "victim". He is dangerous. He is a predator.

Tim Ballard finally realizes he was excommunicated from the LDS Church, two years ago! Let me begin with this: two individuals close to Tim Ballard and his family reached out to me a couple of months ago... quite literally in tears, begging me to “ease off” because, as they put it, Tim had “lost his shit.” I promised them nothing. They pleaded only that I listen, as he was “at the breaking point.” So I listened. Their message, when stripped of its varnish, amounted to this: while Ballard is on the offensive, spinning lies, trying to defame and ruin others—he is also, in their view, unraveling. The implication was unmistakable: Tim is coming apart, and someone is going to get hurt. His friends and relatives are now doing the rounds, attempting to soothe the very people he’s attacked, as though the world at large is somehow responsible for Tim’s deteriorating mental state. One has to ask: why go so far as to reach out to the supposed “enemies” of Tim Ballard? Why the sudden diplomacy? Because he is terrorizing them. The pressure is not on Tim Ballard; it is on those orbiting his family, friends, anyone within blast radius. Instead of urging him toward professional help, a sabbatical from social media, or the modest sanity of a bath and sobriety, they seem to expect everyone else to inhale and exhale his delusions as gospel. But here is the unavoidable fact: Tim Ballard cannot escape the fantasy of Tim Ballard. Full stop. No one else is to blame, his victims, the media, the LDS Church, Cinemark, or any other convenient villain. His family is not responsible either, with one exception: Katherine, his ever-faithful enabler. This is the same Katherine who stood by her husband after the Utah Crime Lab found his semen on another woman’s panties... an item submitted not by a suspicious spouse but because it was evidence in a criminal sexual assault investigation. I’ve been told, repeatedly, that “Katherine is as much a victim as anyone.” But the facts say otherwise. Katherine Ballard knew: • that her husband was accused of sexual assault by a fellow parishioner and under investigation by the LDS Church. • that donor money from Operation Underground Railroad was funneled through a constellation of nonprofits and for-profits, only to be siphoned into Tim’s for-profit venture, Slave Stealers LLC via donations, ghost purchases, and conveniently layered transactions. • that Tim used donor money to tithe to the LDS Church, and that his supposed personal contributions were, in reality, paid by unwitting evangelicals, Catholics, and anyone else generous enough to believe in his crusade. • that Tim fabricated child-rescue stories out of whole cloth no victims, no traffickers, no police reports, no court records, nothing. • that he paid actors to portray traffickers on camera and even paid others to pose as police officers. In short, Tim Ballard did not merely lie about his work; he constructed an entire theatrical universe in which he was both protagonist and savior. And those closest to him are now left to manage the fallout of the fiction he refuses to leave. Operation Underground Railroad, in one of its more theatrical displays of virtue, would donate money to local law enforcement under the pretext of filming a promotional video, SWAT teams in tactical formation, doors kicked in, the choreography of justice in motion. The footage, however, was not mere publicity; it was later paraded before donors as evidence of Tim Ballard and his crusaders personally rescuing children from the clutches of traffickers and pedophiles. When pressed to release this supposed proof, Ballard, so quick to publicize his piety...refused to show the video at all, leaving one to wonder whether the performance had ever been meant for anything beyond the faithful checkbooks of the credulous. Tim bribed judges to get warrants in Haiti to raid orphanages under the ruse that it was a child sex trafficking operation. Despite the fact these were not tourist areas, and no evidence of child sex trafficking. Carlos Bristol was tortured under her husband's orders. She knew there were no arrests, let alone convictions for the people to claim bust and arrest. They stated that Tim would go two or three weeks without bathing. They described the smell as "putrid". Tim "had crotch rot", that there were "blisters and sores in and around his crotch and thighs" that became infected". His drug use was "out of control". What drugs? "Ketamine, cocaine and painkillers" Same thing everyone else has been saying for years. They went on to say that Tim was "out of control", and that "he had violent outbursts and made threats to kill people". I asked whom he threated to kill, they said, "people he believes are his enemies, people at the Church, government and you know... others". Ultimately, this individual, said to me and tried to lay a guilt trip on me, "We're afraid, Tim will kill himself, maybe his family believing that he is saving them". Unbelievable. Absolutely ridiculous. Tim is trying to bully everyone including the LDS Church. Cinemark. HIs critics. Women sexually assaulted, raped and bullied. Notice how Ballard's inner circle is trying to guilt trip and shift the burden of responsibility of Tim Ballard's instability, he violent outbursts, chemical consumption, and behavior. The people in his orbit are forced to "play along" and live out his delusions. Then he is bully them and tormenting them. They are in fear, so much that they everyone to play along instead of doing the right thing. Tim needs to take a bath. He needs get off social media. He needs to go to rehab. He needs a mental health professional. If they feel they are in danger, call the police. Ultimately, Tim needs to take responsibility for his actions, his many crimes, children he has and lied to, behavior, betrayals and misconduct. Then he needs to answer questions about the two "OUR operatives" that had no experience, and were supposed to be working for OUR, who they thought was working with Haitian authorities. Both men were murdered. He needs to answer for Carlos Bristol, apologize for everything, the lies and smearing his name. Tim is finally realizing that the ruse is up, and he is desperately trying to gain relevance in today's world.

Was Tim asked? Multiple times. The LDS Church saw fit to publicly denounce and publicly excommunicate Tim Ballard multiple times. He was such a threat amd betrayed the LDS Church in such a way, the publicly denounced and excommunicated him, before they told him. Ballard broke the law. Multiple times, by him admission. He abused, sexually assaulted and violated the very women that trusted and believed in him. He trampled and violated people in corrupt black and brown countries. Likely, we will never know the atrocities he committed in Haiti and Colombia. He defrauded, Lied and cheated his fellow LDS brothers and sisters. He used a friendship with Elder Ballard to secure money, endorse fraudulent nonprofits and for profit businesses, all to enrich himself. He engaged in neo-fundamentalist LDS beliefs. Has a bogus psychic (they all are) who contacted Nephi to Mardy Gardy, but they never found him. They tortured and quite possibly worse over there. Imagine, you are part of a church. Roman Catholic. LDS. Southern Baptist Convention, National Baptist Convention, United Methodist Church, etc... Imagine, that your church officially denounces and excommunicates you, because you sexually assaulted women. You defrauded members, using a church leader's name to advance your financial interests and goals. Your political ambitions. Betraying women and children, becoming the face of victims. Becoming the face of the religion for you own personal gain. Then to bowdown, and do everything I could to get back in the good graces of the church? That's how we know Tim Ballard is a fraud. Any normal, honest individual falsely accused or even if you did all those horrible things, who would do everything in their power to get back in? He claims it is false accusations? They stripped every reference of him from church history. Took his books down. Tore up every magazine he wad featured in. Removed books his books were referenced in. He sees it as a business decision. He wants to get back in the LDS Church's good graces because it is his only path to power. Nobody else will have him. He could never obtain power in a Democrat state. He could never obtain power in another Republican state. Evangelists will be never accept him. Besides, most states are too poor. Could you see him try to rise to power in Mississippi? He asks for donor money and they give him $40. He is a cheap opportunist. He sees this as a path to power in Utah. Any normal warm blooded American falsely accused of abusing women by a Church? They would be done. Even if they were guilty, they be ashamed. Ballard and his supporters have no shame. Who would support an organization that outs innocent powerless victims and makes false accusations? Cheap opportunists. Sociopaths who see an opportunity long term. Not like Ballard is accepting responsibility for his actions and crimes. He instead bullies women and children. They are beneath him. Men like Ballard and those who support him are on par with pedophiles. In prison they would be.

Let's start with the basics. It appears, so many Tim Ballard supporters are really conflicted. All this "bias" and word of a "smear campaign". Let's just fact check Ballard. For once, first time ever... his supporters can do just that. Let's start with the OUR Origin story. The premise of "Sound of Freedom". Long before the film came out, as it was in limbo we reported on it. This fateful arrest by Tim Ballard is the foundation that OUR was built upon, it inspired Tim Ballard to "rescue the children" and was the premise the film. In dozens of interviews Ballard claims that it all started with his arrest of "this trafficker named Earl Buchanan" and "this little boy". No "Hollywood taking creative liberties" with this one, this was before the film was released. In this report, when examine Ballard's numerous claims (something he stands by this day) which we knew would serve as the basis for the film and then take a look at what really happened with that arrest that fateful day.
