I don't think I'm going to believe anything from the internet right now. So many people are coming under fire at the moment. It's time for detached observation
Yeah, he's obviously been given a script by the DNC. Pathetic. The jealousy just SEEPS out of him. Sorry, but, unless you come out THEN... You lying. Period. So this guy can FO.
The thing is… as Jimmy states here… he and others have had concerns for a while. We have the ability to think critically, however, many don’t fully develop this skill because it’s easier to just go with the flow; adapting alongside others ensures community and we are very social beings. So it’s not about avoiding the internet. Plus- mob mentality, groupthink, and echo chambers originated LONG before the internet. What this comes down to is active listening and general awareness of your own and others’ biases. Something someone tells you sounds a bit odd? Question it! Learn something that supports your views? Question that too! Obviously we can’t look into everything we hear or discuss… but if there is something you care about deeply or have a role in, do your due diligence.
That's literally exactly what this is. OUR's "operations" were nothing more than an exercise in narcissism, ethnocentrism, vanity and ignorance. I saw right through this bs LONGGG before the grifting movie came out and the completely unsurprising accusations that followed. I'm glad that this guy recognizes in retrospect how inauthentic and flawed their "operations" were but it's mind-boggling how that wasn't obvious from the get go. Go to any less prosperous country as a group of wealthy Westerners and you're sure to find some clueless, strapped for cash local who will tell you whatever the hell you want to hear to score some easy money. That hardly implies that they're part of some prolific human trafficking syndicate. Not at all saying that the guys they caught in their hilariously amateur stings are good people...but they sure as hell weren't any kind of big time traffickers or even so much traffickers to begin with. The sad reality is that in a lot of places if you give an appealing enough number it won't be hard to find an impoverished local who'll agree to a variety of illegal things. Doesn't make them a career criminal. The truth is Tim Ballard accomplished pretty much ZERO with his grifting, self-serving org and movie.
Jimmy, We would like to use a few clips from this video with a big thank you and a credit and link to your channel. Would this be ok? We are airing a livestream tonight. -Lauren
This story is a warning that reinforces the saying: power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. You start bending your rules/morals because power/wealth/access acts like a drug.
By far the best comment I’ve read by anyone (from cringe blind Ballard defenders to foaming at the mouth raging anti-Mormon haters) on this subject. What you wrote is truly the lesson to be learned by all of this.
@@juxtaposition7904 extremists on both sides are the problem with society/culture right now. We all need to be reasonable with eachother and get the emotions out of the conversation. If we all agree to seek the truth together we can all find it and learn something about ourselves/others along the way. I think Tim Ballard’s story will be an unfortunate cautionary. SEEK TRUTH.
A lot of gangs and cartel members actually have alters asking for protection against getting killed. You can look around and see prayers at alters with prayer cards and candles and they give thanks to Santa Muerta. Jesus Malverde is also used by cartels like a Robin Hood figure for them. And they use tweety bird or a yellow bird as symbolism like the cat is the law that pursues the yellow bird. So tweety bird is popular. You will see keychains and charms you can carry with you. And many cartel guys carry these prayer cards or symbols or wear shirts or colors to symbolize these people and things. Jesus Malverde is often depicted as saint San Simon wearing a suit and holding a money bag. San Toribo is the patron saint of undocumented immigrants. Many say he appeared to them and saved them from death. You can see prayer cards in gangs wallets on they will wear a tee shirt with these saints on them and they love candles. Tim and the people with them would have been more convincing wearing a tee shirt with Jesus Malverde as Saint San Simon or having a prayer card on them or having a tweety bird tattoo. Or having even a prayer card tattoo. Not all the idiotic ones he chose. He could have had “Callate la Boca” tatted on him which means shut your mouth and they use candles with that meaning stop talking, just like we down in my state use vadoun/voodoo candles. We leave whisky and different gifts for the ones that help you. I would have laughed at his henna tattoos. By the way we also have a whole lot of Spanish influence so we have people practicing the same religion and saints you see these drug cartels honoring. Catholicism is often used with voodoo and Santeria and Santa Muerta etc. and we combine tribal native indien with scared secret French prayers. My famille have traitueses and traituers which are Cadjin and indien healers and shamans that use sacred secret french prayers. We were called Spanish Louisiana before we were French Louisiana so I know a lot about this history. Plus I have many many friends from Mexico and South America. The tapa Boca candle is what it is known as and you can find those in grocery stores. It means to cover your mouth. So many things he did were so outrageous and didn’t reflect the culture of the gangs or their culture. He would have been more believable actually knowing someone locally who could explain this to him.
I just saw the very convincing and heart wrenching statements of the women that accuse Tim Ballard. Thank you for your truth, experience, and insight. It helps me answer a lot of questions I didn’t even have. Boy, humans and their journeys are complicated and not so transparent. Your story wasn’t all over the place. I could follow easily. TY again.
Thank you thank you thank you for telling the truth. As a trafficking survivor trying to talk about the real problems here at home- literally in people’s homes- I’m so grateful.
As someone who’s also spent a great deal of time and money in the effort to protect children (and saw through Ballard’s bullshit immediately), you did the right thing. Certainly we are all flawed. But there are a myriad of inconsistencies in Ballard’s yarns that led me to believe that his intent was significantly impure. My son’s father is an operator. This is a very specific term, reserved wholly for military elite (e.g., Delta, DEVGRU, Recon). “Operatives” are CIA. I noticed Ballard claimed to be ex CIA. Yeah, no. He was almost certainly your standard entry level DHS border agent. And that’s great. But having been surrounded by these men, I take issue with those who steal others’ valor. Again, the kids thing is easy. Everyone gets stupid when the cause is children - as well they should. The problem is that scumbags are aware of this too. Ultimately, no, Ballard is not a Jerry Sandusky. But to exonerate him by such a low measure would be a grave injustice. Our kids deserve more than that.
Allegations have been happening for years. And these women didn't just suddenly pop up after this movie they were trying to get Operation underground railroad to do something for a long time. Oh you are finally dead and internal thorough investigation and Tim Ballard was fired and removed a CEO because everything they found supported the women. The level of lies and deceit that this guy has done and the harm he has wrecked on everybody the thousands of people he is betrayed is disgusting. I have a much bigger problem with that than the fact that somebody is finally recognizing Tim Ballard It's a narcissist liar who has abused the great power and trust given to him and caused great harm.
Finally got around to watching this. I briefly worked with OUR on the Children Need Families foundation project. I worked with Janet at the time and got to know OUR and their operations a little closer. Also had close friends work on the video production teams. After all this, I'm responding the same way you did earlier in this episode. I feel duped. And I think it hurts worse than I thought it would because I became a big believer in what we were doing. I wanted to save kids and fight traffickers. Thanks for sharing your story Jimmy. I can tell it's heartbreaking for you as well and that it's not easy to talk about.
the duality of an undercover lifestyle on one side and a church going man on the other becomes corrosive. I have a friend who worked undercover narco back in my home town. We were in the same ward he served in the bishopric. One Sunday morning we were in ward counsel and b4 the meeting started he says "wanna see what I bought last night?". It was a pic of a 1 gal ziploc bag of cocaine he bought in a truckstop men's room a few hours earlier. The constant back and forth living in two separate worlds took its toll on him and he eventually had to quit. I'm not totally surprised that there are some sus things going on with T Ballard, but it is interesting that this all comes out right at the zenith of the movie and its popularity and not a year ago.
why would someone show you a bag of coke? did he think you didn't know what coke looks like? was an "undercover narc officer" trying to impress you with coke from a toilet? the story or your friend is weird 😄
Yes especially now that the movie has exposed so much that is happening with powerful elites in this country. Now that the movie has made a lot of money, those talking has increased. I say follow the money,even with the man that made this post. He seemed more impressed with his heroic involvement that genuine concern about Underground Railroad. I’m more concerned with those that can be bought.
I’m sure getting this close to evil must open bad pathways. I pray for Tim Ballard and all participants in the OUR, as well as all the victims of human trafficking. 🙏
At any time was there a conversation about seeking mental health for what was seen or done? I use to work with someone whose husband works for the FBI taking down child predators here in Utah. Long story short, because of what they see, she told me at that time the people doing this work are only allowed to see a certain amount of time or pictures, but they then have to go get therapy to keep them balanced and ok because it is horrible. So that is why I wondered if that was ever a conversation and if not, maybe something for those in this industry to really consider going forward. It’s healthy to seek help. 19:37
Tramping around poor countries inquiring "where can I buy kids?" And coming up empty handed at least half the time sounds like a huge waste of money, time and resources. It also sounds like the missions were creating a demand where there wasn’t one before.
Thank you Jimmy for this honest and open insight into the world of OUR and your experiences with Tim. As the founder and CEO of a nonprofit, Saving Lost Kids, I am asked weekly about the movie and about Tim. As someone in charge of an organization trying to do great things, my eyes were opened about how some support for the right reasons, some for wrong, and some who are unhealthy, if you don’t feed their narcissism. Your insights here are helpful to me and our organization, because it encourages us to keep our eyes on the prize, and be careful to not let evil or destructive people to restrict or destroy something beautiful that God has created. Thank you again. And thank you for giving of yourself and your safety for the welfare of children that you didn’t even know. I pray that someday we might be able to meet, as I’m sure you have many more nuggets of wisdom that can help our humble organization to continue to grow in a more beautiful way. Sincerest regards, Brian Callies - Saving Lost Kids.
Do you also operate in the US, saving kids that are being molested in the Mormon church, Catholic church and other religious organizations where by US law abuse is not required to be reported.
I looked at your website and mission Brian Callies, and you fundraise off of big promises, little effort, and absolutely zero evidence of having any impact on the trafficking of children. You will have other people calling you out that have either been in actual facilities or have real experience with this kind of trauma and recovery. How many golf tournaments, banquets and special events did you hold and what was the ratio to children saved. Is it like one kid equal’s a big golf tournament? Get real, not fooling anyone with half a brain, access to the internet and 10 minutes.

Please Jimmy use your platform to help protect kids in foster care here in the USA … teen girls being sold for sec is real and in the USA … teens in foster care are so so so vulnerable to people preying on them
And support Erin's Law which is federally funded under the general education budget in the US. Erin's Law is taught as part of the school safety program in 38 states but religious institutions need Erin's Law, as well.
If what you are saying is true, then I feel awful for the people involved, including Tim. I have been to dark places in my life where I stopped and asked myself, "How did I get here?" I understand the slippery slope and people making awful, life-changing decisions. If Tim has done things that are wrong like adultery etc., there is no reason for us to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Sound of Freedom is a great movie, OUR is doing great things. I still stand with O.U.R. We can still continue to save women and children. Hopefully Tim and those involved can heal and grow and move on from this. So sad.
@@karencollins2661 Yes, and everything you hear and see on the internet is true? So what does that have to do with anything I said? Absolutely nothing.
Well said. Name one occupation on the planet where adultery or fornication has not occurred from time to time. Name one occupation where credit is not welcomed for work efforts. Everyone's so ready to bash this guy while ignoring the base cause of his efforts as a deterrent against these insidious crimes.
@@nottthereyet4872 The women are claiming that Tim sexually abused them. What is the base cause of his efforts? There is no evidence that he ever saved anyone. There is evidence that he and his wife desired to sell children.
Well, if there is one thing we all had to learn during the pandemic, it's that there is nothing on earth that can't be politicizes and/or monetized. AND some self declared vigilante super action heros are much more exciting than the people who do the real, hard and often boring work.🤷🏻♀️
Hidden Gems said Tims boss at Homeland let him just go to work and write books and that the opinion of hos coworkers of him was poor. The homeland boss let him do what he wanted because he was promised a position at OUR. It figures it was John Lines....
I hate to admit it. When I first heard of Tim and his mission, I was stoked. That stuff is a big topic right now. When I heard he was LDS, my first thought was, man I hope this isnt a scam we need a W right now so badly in this world. The jury is still out, but, I will say this crap coming out is like OJ's bloody glove.
Interesting analogy because the bloody glove didn't fit OJ and it gave reasonable doubt to the jury and the famous line: "If the glove don't fit--you must acquit!"
I disagree with being duped. If Tim is having affairs with adult women that should in no way discount that the work he is doing is catching peodphiles rescuing children that are being raped daily and for each one arrested, how many children are then saved from each one arrested before the next child was going to be sold and used. We don not have enough people saving the children..children that are being violently raped. Agents have watched thousands of hours of videos of children being raped..they HAVE the digital files, and one man who was recently arrested, his name is on public record, they have over 2,000 images of The kids, The U.S. Police force . The child Tim and his wife adopted were taken after the earthquake in Haiti when they were below five.
Mmmm heres the thing, Tim Ballard is Not a marriage counselor. He never claimed to be someone perfect. His aim was to BRING HUMAN TRAFFICKING TO LIGHT. If he is an adulterer, well, may his consequences follow...But regardless, Tim Ballard brought human trafficking to light, And Tim did a hell of a job doing that💪🏼💪🏾 I never looked at Tim like he's Jesus, so accept his imperfections, and accept yours as well 👍 He fulfilled his purpose 🤷🏽♂️ Now this guy wants to say something? We will always be around imperfect people. If cheating on his wife is true, I HOPE HE CHANGES THAT AND REPENTS. For now, let's focus on saving people from being sex trafficked, That's what's more important than all this bull crap being talked about. #SameTeam
I don’t care if he was an adulterer. If he assaulted women, that is one thing, but if it’s just over his sex life, that’s none of my business. That’s what’s annoying about all of this. Save kids and stop acting like middle schoolers.
This was incredibly sane, and now everything makes sense. Thank you. I lived in Mexico. It didn't take long for me to notice that there were things going on there that I was not supposed to notice. Creeped me out. A missionary gf of mine who tried to protect children got chased all the way into the US. You can't take this on without taking on serious demons, and you'd better be ready for that.
@@ericnelson9100Demons. The gates of Hell are fully open and the demon spirits have found many willing human host. They are in every level of every society. Including inside every church and political office
13:10 - “One of the arrests was an 8th Grade Sch Teacher who used her position to get these girls (aged 11 & 12) to go to a party. Next thing they knew they were being raped, drugged, told if they told anyone they would be killed… so that’s how trafficking works, it’s not like these girls are being held against their will 24/7! It’s not like it’s portrayed in the sound of freedom”. Oh ok, that’s alright then! Said any normal decent parent!!!😳
We don't know if someone had an affair unless we were there. Character assignation is the devils game. There is an accuser of the brethren. Anger is a motivation to diss another. I am sad to pickup anger in this presentation.
You should be sadder about someone with a Messiah complex fooling and defrauding people and God knows what else. I don't get why people are so enthralled by Tim Ballard and ignore all the evidence that has come out against him by multiple sources and over a long period of time.
Seems to me that if everyone really cared about saving children they wouldn’t be coming out of the woodwork to say look at how great I am but that Ballard is an awful man.
YES! And THANK YOU for starting the obvious! I have a real life story which your truth applies to … this stuff happens ALL too often and I cannot see it as anything but gross, sickening apathy: I was raised in a very dysfunctional, abusive environment. (I’m recovered from a majority of the traumas I experienced, I’m a productive citizen, respectful of law, morals and of others. I wanted to note this because I’m not looking for pity here 👍) Here’s the problem: AFTER I was an adult, it’s SHOCKING how many people (who were both childhood acquaintances and adults when I was a child) that have literally approached me and mindlessly asked, “We’re you abused when you were a kid?” Caught off guard, I’d give some minimal affirmative response. And they would respond with, “I kinda thought there were some bad things going on”. **Now … What in the world am I even supposed to do with that?!? I almost want to grill them - “WHY didn’t you help me?!?” At the same time, I wanted to rip into them and ask why they were even telling me this now? I mean, am I supposed to count them as some kind of hero because though they didn’t do or say anything to help, HEY, at LEAST they were aware of my nightmare situation 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ It gets worse, even!! There have been adults (The literally PARENTS of childhood acquaintances that then tried to groom me to become part of their perverted, multi participant sex parties once they had confirmed I had been abused as a kid 🤮🤮🤮 OMG! I learned fast just how sick people in this world can be. It’s enough to not look bit closer when you suspect, to not report what you become aware of … But to THEN try to manipulate a victim of abuse years later -- just sick! As for the people who are now coming out with all these revelations about OUR and T Ballard … I never believe until there’s plenty of irrefutable evidence. With as much deception and lies as there are these days, it’s so difficult to even know what can be counted as irrefutable because deceivers are masters at their trade. But for all the years that OUR operated … for this guy’s statements that ‘he KNEW’ Tim ‘WAS’ having affairs, the fact that the Sound of Freedom movie was completed 5 years ago then bought and shelved to prevent it from coming out …. It’s not until it’s released that suddenly there’s a flood of ‘so-called’ heroes that have some deep, dark secrets to tell? They’re going to have to do a LOT better! I don’t want to be misunderstood - if Tim or ANYone is guilty of crimes, they need to be equally prosecuted and punished under the rule of law - NOT in the court of public opinion. And if ANY of these people are lying in this mess, they should be punished under defamation laws, period. The sad truth: nothing like this is EVER pursued to any level of completion. Anyway, just wanted to share my perspective. It happens to be December 25, so a MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and yours 🌹👍
I wish it wasn't this way but, like you said, we almost need video or audio proof of Tim's alleged affairs before judging him on that, just like video proof of the girls before a raid can go gangbusters on the group. The women also had free agency to say no way & so (if true) it wasn't just him but maybe they felt like he swayed them into it. I hate to be skeptical, but I have to, after that false accuser of the Supreme Court Judge as he was being considered, it was all a ruse with millions of dollars behind it & the media loving to tell the fake details & in the end, nada. But, I do see a scenario where it could be true, so, we will wait to make any decision on it.
I’m sorry you experienced, witnessed evil face to face. it must have been surreal to be in the deep rabbit hole of evil. Beyond my mind can comprehend how big and how dark-evil child trafficking. I am sad the story of OUR is part of any kind of sexual harassment/abuse. If the allegations are true about Tim Ballard, we should put our arms around his children and wife. My prayers are for his family and for all women or men who have suffered from abuse. Let’s keep our attention on those who really deserve our breath and attention, the children.
Oh for crying out loud. The damn rabbit hole in in the community where you live, where I live .. it’s people who befriend and groom your family members. Not too different from how you have been groomed to desire to protect and support this conman Tim Ballard. Take off the glasses, let go of the preconceived idea that this is a ‘dark and scary rabbit hole’ .. the darkness lives in the house on the hill! Look at Ruby Franke and what she did to her kids! Human Trafficking exists right here.
His wife is just as guilty, she harrassed victims, that's witness tampering. She's no innocent babe in the woods; just as guilty as him and Sean Reyes. They all need to be imprisoned.
¿Y los niños? Todos los que están criticando a Tim ¿Ya han rescatado alguno? Es muy fácil hablar desde un escritorio cómodamente sentado pero arriesgar la vida por salvar a un pequeño, no cualquiera. Eso me convence más que cualquier palabrería vana.
Help me to understand something. Didn’t you say that a couple months ago you made a post saying you didn't see or know of Tim doing anything wrong? But now you're claiming he had affairs? What evidence do you have to make you draw the conclusion that he's guilty of such a thing now? Because that's what's lacking with this entire thing--- evidence. What we seem to have though are people who apparently had issues with Tim but have waited until now to voice them. You can at least understand why so many are skeptical since his detractors have waited until Sound of Freedom and political ambitions to surface to come out with all this. I look forward to evidence. Because I'm tired of allegations, anonymous sources, poorly written statements, and a pathetic media. Evidence and facts matter.
But speaking with people isn't evidence. For example, someone me and my family know COMPLETELY fabricated falsehoods about us. Just because people spoke with that individual didn't make their claims about us true. Same thing applies here. Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that you don't have evidence but that you find their stories believable (which also doesn't mean their claims are true)? These are important distinctions because you are sharing what you portray as a lot of insider information. If you're not careful in how you frame things, you may lead people to believe you have access to hard evidence of Tim's guilt, when in fact you do not (if that's the case). Again, big difference between having the evidence or having seen the evidence that proves it beyond doubt and simply believing what people say could be true. When it comes to destroying someone's character (and in this case their family), I want evidence and facts proving their guilt. Not just unfounded claims. Which, unfortunately, is all we have so far.
The women didn't wait until Sound of Freedom was released to come forward. O.U.R began a misconduct investigation which led to Tim leaving O.U.R in June, which was before the movie was released!
@@nostoppingit7243 The script for Sound of Freedom was written in 2015. Filming finished in 2018. Angel Studios eventually got the rights and it was officially released in theaters July 4, 2023. The announcement and buildup for that release came long before the July release. So, let's not pretend that allegations and the internal investigation came outside the timeline of all that because it just isn't true. Now, having said that, does it mean he's innocent? No. But it certainly doesn't discount the possibility of ulterior motives from the other side either either.
“We couldn’t find any kids being trafficked in more than half of the cities we’ve been to” I think therein lies some of the problem with OUR and The Sound of Freedom. Trafficking usually doesn’t look like a cabal of men holding a stable of women. I read an article on Rolling Stone where trafficking experts expressed their concerns with how the movie portrays trafficking because it’s not really how trafficking works, to your point. It’s usually very small time and by a person who knows the victim. You’re not going to have luck wandering around random Mexican cities looking for a mob with connections. You’d need to find a guy controlling one neighbor girl, etc. Which isn’t economical for a task force. I think the whole model doesn’t really work. Anyway that’s rambling a bit, but my .02
Wow !!! You really know eveyone in the whole of the USA and the rest of the world.😂😂and you know of the billions of people living there what each person is thinking and doing. Superman 😂
I will admit my bias is with Tim. I honestly don't know who is telling the truth. Why is this guy more credible than Tim. Everything he is saying could be based in jealousy and naivete.
@@jeffreybernson7978 there are others who also with their power of discernment think that Tim is not guilty. I don't know either way, but I still don't think that we should pretend that none of the good never happened what Tim founded, even if human follies sometimes entered the mix.
Jimmy, it's clear there were often very good intentions. I wonder how you feel now about the involvement of laypeople in these jumps. Like you've said, multiple things can be true at the same time. You can be a very capable and intelligent person, but also not an expert in the field and not suitable to participate. You admit to significant gaps in training and understanding of trafficking, yet participated a dozen or so times. What would you tell someone else if they were facing similar opportunities to the ones you had? Learning what you've learned over the years, do you feel OUR either met or exceeded the professional and ethical duty of skills training required for these types of sensitive and potentially dangerous situations? If not, what should accountability look like?
"Experts" are often lacking in training and judgment as well. Experience is key, but don't assume someone is a better operator just because they are affiliated with a government. It is often not the case.
It wasn’t handled the right way. A lot of good was done but a lot wasn’t a net positive so I’d say the ops should definitely never be done again the way we did them
Pastor Troy Brewer is a true servant of the Lord- his operation is pure of spirit- it deserves the support of those wanting to assist these individuals- transparency for sure
Thank you for being honest I was just listening to an audio radio broadcast with his wife and it sounds like she’s trying to save the dynasty or she’s completely brainwashed. There kids having to go through all this is tragic.
When Wikipedia is a bashing Tim, you know the accusations against him are lies. They want to silence him. He’s a threat. Wikipedia labeled him a Q-anon Conspiracy Theorist 😂
I lived in Latin America for 20yrs. I left last year due to attempted kidnap of my daughter in Ecuador. I lived where you could not let your children get to far from your reach due to the amount of kidnapping. Costa Rica is amongst the worse, I lived it. I have seen it personally and it is a major problem. Sorry!
This is mostly BS so please don’t be so gullible. This has exposed many elites and Hollywood for their sickness towards children. Follow the money with these accusers.
Jimmy, We thank you again for this video. We would like to use some clips with credit and a link to your video. Would this be ok? We are airing a livestream tonight. -HTC
There is a lot of followers of Jesus Christ here. Let me suggest to go listen to the podcast done by someone and Tim's wife, Katherine Ballard. I am glad I am listening to these and more so that righteous judgment can be made. To condemn an innocent man is a big sin with God.
Do you really think his wife is gonna go against her husband she has nine kids he made close to five hundred grand a year on the OUR payroll she has nochoice but swallow her pride and suck it up.
Exactly! My opinion is that the Mormon church fosters this - men literally believe they’ll become gods in the afterlife. How can they not develop a god complex in day-to-day life?
Thank you for putting a few more pieces of the puzzle into place. Sometimes it is hard to hear the truth but the only way to get there is to see what the different players are doing.
What truths? No receipts no documentation no proof of a single shred of criminal illegal activity. Just frenetic ramblings. Vice? Really? Tryin to build his tiny channel is all I’m seeing.
Ok… Tim had affairs, if they were adults it’s a share responsibility, no one “breaks a marriage” if you cheat, no one “made you” do it, right? Just my two cents
Thanks for the perspective Jimmy. Not many could do what you do and it takes guts to speak up, especially when trying to respect those involved. Keep shining that light man, you’re doing God’s work. 🙌🏼
No Jimmy decided to be part of the problem. Exposing information that compromises ops. This guy is so full of himself. Detracting Ballard hurts the mission by ramblings, “I got to go meet so and so…” Name dropping. Proof of what? Illegal activities? He just rambles frenetically about ops. Listen carefully this Jimmy wants his 15 minutes.
35:00 sorry but you are pretty reckless with details and facts. BEFORE Sound of Freedom, Angel Studios started years ago a PAY-IT-FORWARD model. So people can help those who cannot afford to go see the movie (Theaters are so expensive!!). So think about it, whether the customer goes to the Theater and buys a ticket or they go to Angel Studios online to get a "free" ticket, EITHER WAY, that ticket price💰 goes to the theater where the patron sees the movie. The theater either gets it from Angel Studios or the patron. What's shady about that? You didn't understand and spoke anyway, no investigation to see how it works, just shady marketing implication.😮 Kinda sloppy man. You make people look bad when you discuss ACCUSATIONS like * Angel Studios * Tim Ballard * Andrew Tate (video of his doing what you said is OLD; it is visually apparent. Andrew even admits to being a knucklehead in years past but claims not for a while). If stating something with stating all the facts, might vindicate someone, but leaving out some info can really hurt someone's reputation. If you want to be taken seriously, do your homework, not just your opinion. People's lives hang in the balance. Defamation of character is a big deal to oh mighty God.
This guy I know said when he went to meetings/conferences in other countries the cab drivers from the airport would ask the visitor if he wanted dates and would arrange it for him. He said that happened from country to country.
Thanks Jimmy this helps put this all into perspective. Life is grey. I believe Tim was initially good and still had good intentions but slowly let ego get in the way and justified slowly until he crossed the line if true.
Jimmy, I'm glad you're coming forward with this. What makes you trust these 3 women you've spoken to who will come forward? Because I think many people are wrongfully accused too (especially those who have done a lot of good in the face of evil), so are you pretty confident they speak the truth?
Hmmm. I think we call this ‘victim blaming’. I suspect we will all be surprised to one degree or another. As for me, I didn’t trust this over zealous, pompous arse from the moment I heard of him. Who the hell glorifies themselves for the work they do .. oh yeah, narcissists do .. and they lie.
Remember, his name was toda , who killed a little kid, nine years old, and Ensenada, México I was the one that got him out of the jail coma, arrogant, arrogant, ungrateful, and feel superior to everybody else, when I got him out of jail he was a nice guy he ever met. Once we cross the border, his behavior change to arrogant, and please don’t bother me.
The problem with Tim has been published but you chose not to read it Lynn Packer has been reporting about thus for years and Dr. John Dehlin among others vise has been a minor reporter .
Why are you speaking now? Especially if you're still afraid of being identified. That's why only a few can do what Tim does. And if he did do anything inappropriate then have him on the show let him be accountable.. What you say is still very unclear. Trafficking is mostly done underground. If you hear from victims they are trafficked thru undergroud clubs, homes connected to other homes and buildings assocated to organised criminal departments etc. Tim had to be believable even if it made him sick which he him self had admitted to multiple times. But was it worth rescuing all these children and adults?. Plus remeber Tim lost everything to do this and put his life, and families life on the line.. I feel that it can't be so black and white to do what Tim is doing. Though it must be said that when you stand for a truth you must represent truth. And if Tim is using this non profit as a guise, then all I can say is that Tim needs to come clean and correct his ways and seek help. Very disappointed with both sides of the arguments. But no one is perfect.
Why is he speaking up? He said it in the 1st two sentences. And he is LEGIT the closest to the situation that actually did the right thing. The lds doesn't believe in psychics and for one that's a given that he stopped listening. God deals in truth. The proof is in the text messages and those that witnessed it. He's the closest to the truth that we are gonna get
Jimmy thank you for sharing your experiences with us. You were able to bring forth these truths. You have helped me personally though my doubts etc. God bless you 🙏 please stay safe.,✨🩵
Thank you...actually did not know that there was any public stuff going on. This confirmed my gut feeling since I had looked at alternative trafficking organizations to donate to after pulling up their financials and seeing over 3 million in payroll and purchases going to about 6 folks including Tim and his wife. It almost looked like the nonprofit was set up to create wealth for his family.
Jimmy, you seem like a very thoughtful guy with a heart in the right place. I’d love to hear your thoughts on white saviourism. Also, I think your audience would love to hear you explore the topic of the sexual abuse that’s rampant all around you in your home neighborhood, city, state, & country and why you think OUR feels like the most effective work they can do to rescue children, is in a foreign land where they have no jurisdiction or authority, rather than root out the evil in their own backyards.
A Pyrrhic victory is a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat. Such a victory negates any true sense of achievement or damages long-term progress.
I learned a lot from your perspective and appreciate your thoughts. I am grateful to you for helping other people & sometimes it takes a certain type of personality to do something like this. That type of personality is not bad, it can be good, but everything must be done in moderation. I’m sad about Tim, but I also understand that he had one of those personalities & it appears he may have let himself get overly confident, perhaps even prideful. This is a tale as old as time & happens to many, if not most of us along life’s path. I hope you find the right woman (if you haven’t already) and do good while remaining humble and always remembering that Satan can bring anyone down at anytime if that guard is dropped.We must always stay prayerful and humble; Christ is the only perfect one. I don’t believe in channeling spirits, but I do think (if it’s important) that we may receive s visit from someone close, such as a deceased grandparent, etc., if necessary. I’m disappointed that Tim was using a psychic because that wasn’t appropriate, but if he was having affairs, that’s even worse..I’m going to pray for him because I’m no better than he is, nor am I better than anyone. But, we all need prayers and we can all repent because of our Savior, Jesus Christ who atoned for our sins if we’d but turn to Him and change, then walk with Him along life’s journey. God bless you, Jimmy.
So it appears to me that you are conflicted about what you believe regarding Tim and the real level of the problem that's out there today. Coming from somebody who's been in-law enforcement and former military career... I can tell you one fact and that 1 fact is that evil and crime are always greater than what is exposed and what comes out... it is never less than that. NEVER. So for you to imply that it's not as big of a deal as they're making it how to be... I would tell you, you are absolutely wrong. All you have to do is look around and see those who are involved, and to what extent they will go to protect and hide the source of their income and the means to get it. Your opinion doesn't line with the facts of how crime and evil work. I went on a mission to Sao Paulo Brazil, so I speak Portuguese and I speak Spanish. I can tell you that along with the careers I've had in-law enforcement and in the Marines things are much worse than what has been shown... not less.
Huge ditto and thank you for your service. Jimmy concedes he doesn't know everything and he was expressing doubts about the severity and child trafficking numbers based on his experience, which was clearly limited. His comments reveal that he and also OUR were working from a place of inexperience and ignorance. There are legitimate anti-human trafficking non-profits working on the front lines who Tim Ballard and OUR could have sought out to learn how to properly conduct undercover ops and gather intel. Their tactics reveal they were naive and ignorant. And they were focused on undercover 'sting' operations which were sensationalistic which helps raise funds, but they were not best practice and that is why anti-trafficking groups criticized them. Here is the link to OUR's 2022 financial report Form 990. Notice on page 1, salaries, other compensation and benefits (Line 15) is 50% of total revenues (Line 12). On page 7, Tim Ballard received total compensation of $546,458 and worked an average 40 hour week. On Schedule L, Part IV, (pg. 67) Mark Blake, Tim Ballard's brother-in-law and board member, received $278,684, Tim Ballard's wife, Katherine, received $118,283 and their child, Blain Ballard, received $47,918. Since they were no longer doing operations but supposedly sending funds to those who did and provided aftercare support (Schedule F shows six figure wire transfers to entities all over the world for "aftercare"), why the high salaries? ourrescue.org/reports/2022-irs.pdf
I'm glad you brought up the Tates and the methods they use to get young women involved in the webcam business. You know what you're talking about. Too many people are willing to overlook what the Tates do and minimise how serious it actually is. Appreciate what you said.
A couple months ago I was able to befriend a bodyguard of Tim Ballard’s and he was defending Tim still at the time even though Tim has the Freemason tie on in his August 9 post 2022 from Argentina, and I was able to show him that and he was able to look at his own photographs and videos, because he is literally standing next to Tim in the picture, and he finally came back and confirmed that he had been duped and lied to, and he was horrified to know that he was part of the exact situations as you just talked about.
Thanks Jimmy! You're always honest and speak truth, no matter what!(let the consequence follow) Ironicly we're taught that as (LDS) youth but it's becoming a rarity today from any and all organizations. You're truly an example out there and I really appreciate you using your talents and platform to seek truth! Not just with this situation, but in everything you engage in. Thanks man!!!!
First, thank you for your efforts to save children. Two, thank you for sharing your version and perspective of the situation with Tim and OUR. Third, prior to this podcast, I wish you would have taken a moment to outline your desired topics, taken a step back and waited 24 hours, revise your outline accordingly, sought out feedback from trusted council then moved forward. I would suggest taking this podcast down and revising it. You are correct that the more it is verified and confirmed that you did specific ops, those people may come knocking (I pray that does not happen). The only time you should speak of these matters is when under oath in court or with the same people that signed the same NDA(assuming you signed a NDA). Security for you and your family should be a priority. Why you would continue to mention the names of so many people is bewildering. Do you not care for their safety? I pray you have not brought any harm to others because of your “feelings” to be transparent. Real Men have integrity, honor and would never put families at risk just for views and subscribers. It could be said “Your character is reflected in this podcast” or “This podcast is not a reflection of the your Character, acknowledge and apologize for it”. You could have gone to Tim and had a “Man to Man” conversation and since you claim to believe in the current direction of OUR, promote OUR and support OUR. Best of luck.
You're a slick guy Jimmy, and you cover yourself well. Ballard made over $500,000 last year and he thanks you for helping him accomplish that. On the flip side, Ballard could drag down a lot of Utah cops and federal agents if he goes full public, so if life insurance is one of your side hustles he probably would not be one to sell a policy to.
I'd like to hear real, professionally trained individuals working with trafficed individuals to critique OUR. Sounds like new victims were being created. I have zero respect for a man that does a mission of this, all the while assaulting his women helpers. I have zero respect for any group of people that respect this evil person. Your speach is so much about you, money and the good ole boys club.
19:50 “Theres this thing energetically with the universe. When you start talking about something more you’re going to be more aware of it… I think it plants the seed to participate in it.. the numbers in the last 10 years in trafficking is only going up… By raising awareness the movie could actually be responsible for increasing Paedophilia?!🤥🤪
Thanks Jimmy, for your insight on this matter. I did operations with OUR from almost the beginning until sometime in 2018. I was on the big mission that was conducted in Columbia, that homeland security took credit for. During my time with OUR, things were ran differently. I noticed the changes that were starting to happen and I backed away. I cannot say that I saw Tim or anyone else do anything that was unethical but I can honestly say that I felt some changes were being made that didn’t sit well with me.
I don't think I'm going to believe anything from the internet right now. So many people are coming under fire at the moment. It's time for detached observation
So true
Yeah, he's obviously been given a script by the DNC. Pathetic. The jealousy just SEEPS out of him. Sorry, but, unless you come out THEN... You lying. Period. So this guy can FO.
But you'll believe a bunch of bullshit about a cabal of pedophile. Cool cool
Completely 💯 agree!!!!!! Absolutely
The thing is… as Jimmy states here… he and others have had concerns for a while. We have the ability to think critically, however, many don’t fully develop this skill because it’s easier to just go with the flow; adapting alongside others ensures community and we are very social beings. So it’s not about avoiding the internet. Plus- mob mentality, groupthink, and echo chambers originated LONG before the internet.
What this comes down to is active listening and general awareness of your own and others’ biases. Something someone tells you sounds a bit odd? Question it! Learn something that supports your views? Question that too! Obviously we can’t look into everything we hear or discuss… but if there is something you care about deeply or have a role in, do your due diligence.
16:30 it’s called entrapment. US citizens going to “find” traffickers and in turn created some.
That's literally exactly what this is. OUR's "operations" were nothing more than an exercise in narcissism, ethnocentrism, vanity and ignorance. I saw right through this bs LONGGG before the grifting movie came out and the completely unsurprising accusations that followed. I'm glad that this guy recognizes in retrospect how inauthentic and flawed their "operations" were but it's mind-boggling how that wasn't obvious from the get go. Go to any less prosperous country as a group of wealthy Westerners and you're sure to find some clueless, strapped for cash local who will tell you whatever the hell you want to hear to score some easy money. That hardly implies that they're part of some prolific human trafficking syndicate. Not at all saying that the guys they caught in their hilariously amateur stings are good people...but they sure as hell weren't any kind of big time traffickers or even so much traffickers to begin with. The sad reality is that in a lot of places if you give an appealing enough number it won't be hard to find an impoverished local who'll agree to a variety of illegal things. Doesn't make them a career criminal. The truth is Tim Ballard accomplished pretty much ZERO with his grifting, self-serving org and movie.
Thank you for sharing your side and always being willing to put your name on what you say.
Jimmy, We would like to use a few clips from this video with a big thank you and a credit and link to your channel. Would this be ok? We are airing a livestream tonight. -Lauren
This story is a warning that reinforces the saying: power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. You start bending your rules/morals because power/wealth/access acts like a drug.
By far the best comment I’ve read by anyone (from cringe blind Ballard defenders to foaming at the mouth raging anti-Mormon haters) on this subject. What you wrote is truly the lesson to be learned by all of this.
@@juxtaposition7904 extremists on both sides are the problem with society/culture right now. We all need to be reasonable with eachother and get the emotions out of the conversation. If we all agree to seek the truth together we can all find it and learn something about ourselves/others along the way. I think Tim Ballard’s story will be an unfortunate cautionary. SEEK TRUTH.
@@daveodell6076 Agreed.
A lot of gangs and cartel members actually have alters asking for protection against getting killed. You can look around and see prayers at alters with prayer cards and candles and they give thanks to Santa Muerta. Jesus Malverde is also used by cartels like a Robin Hood figure for them. And they use tweety bird or a yellow bird as symbolism like the cat is the law that pursues the yellow bird. So tweety bird is popular. You will see keychains and charms you can carry with you.
And many cartel guys carry these prayer cards or symbols or wear shirts or colors to symbolize these people and things. Jesus Malverde is often depicted as saint San Simon wearing a suit and holding a money bag. San Toribo is the patron saint of undocumented immigrants. Many say he appeared to them and saved them from death. You can see prayer cards in gangs wallets on they will wear a tee shirt with these saints on them and they love candles.
Tim and the people with them would have been more convincing wearing a tee shirt with Jesus Malverde as Saint San Simon or having a prayer card on them or having a tweety bird tattoo. Or having even a prayer card tattoo. Not all the idiotic ones he chose.
He could have had “Callate la Boca” tatted on him which means shut your mouth and they use candles with that meaning stop talking, just like we down in my state use vadoun/voodoo candles. We leave whisky and different gifts for the ones that help you. I would have laughed at his henna tattoos.
By the way we also have a whole lot of Spanish influence so we have people practicing the same religion and saints you see these drug cartels honoring. Catholicism is often used with voodoo and Santeria and Santa Muerta etc. and we combine tribal native indien with scared secret French prayers. My famille have traitueses and traituers which are Cadjin and indien healers and shamans that use sacred secret french prayers. We were called Spanish Louisiana before we were French Louisiana so I know a lot about this history. Plus I have many many friends from Mexico and South America.
The tapa Boca candle is what it is known as and you can find those in grocery stores. It means to cover your mouth. So many things he did were so outrageous and didn’t reflect the culture of the gangs or their culture. He would have been more believable actually knowing someone locally who could explain this to him.
Sexual assault is totally different to having affairs with women who adore you and throw themselves at you.
Don't give kids social media!!
I just saw the very convincing and heart wrenching statements of the women that accuse Tim Ballard. Thank you for your truth, experience, and insight. It helps me answer a lot of questions I didn’t even have. Boy, humans and their journeys are complicated and not so transparent. Your story wasn’t all over the place. I could follow easily. TY again.
In the Bible, God prohibits channeling familiar spirits.
Don't forget about the kids in the United States, it's not just other countries but in the United States too.
CPS does it constantly.
thats part of why Tim was operating Down there, pure deflectionfrom
ncmec
Thank you thank you thank you for telling the truth. As a trafficking survivor trying to talk about the real problems here at home- literally in people’s homes- I’m so grateful.
As someone who’s also spent a great deal of time and money in the effort to protect children (and saw through Ballard’s bullshit immediately), you did the right thing.
Certainly we are all flawed. But there are a myriad of inconsistencies in Ballard’s yarns that led me to believe that his intent was significantly impure.
My son’s father is an operator. This is a very specific term, reserved wholly for military elite (e.g., Delta, DEVGRU, Recon). “Operatives” are CIA.
I noticed Ballard claimed to be ex CIA. Yeah, no. He was almost certainly your standard entry level DHS border agent. And that’s great. But having been surrounded by these men, I take issue with those who steal others’ valor.
Again, the kids thing is easy. Everyone gets stupid when the cause is children - as well they should. The problem is that scumbags are aware of this too. Ultimately, no, Ballard is not a Jerry Sandusky. But to exonerate him by such a low measure would be a grave injustice. Our kids deserve more than that.
I have a big problem with the timing of these allegations.
Yup that’s what I was thinking 🤔
Why, bc Tim was about to swindle his way into politics and run for senate?
Allegations have been happening for years. And these women didn't just suddenly pop up after this movie they were trying to get Operation underground railroad to do something for a long time. Oh you are finally dead and internal thorough investigation and Tim Ballard was fired and removed a CEO because everything they found supported the women. The level of lies and deceit that this guy has done and the harm he has wrecked on everybody the thousands of people he is betrayed is disgusting. I have a much bigger problem with that than the fact that somebody is finally recognizing Tim Ballard It's a narcissist liar who has abused the great power and trust given to him and caused great harm.
Finally got around to watching this. I briefly worked with OUR on the Children Need Families foundation project. I worked with Janet at the time and got to know OUR and their operations a little closer. Also had close friends work on the video production teams. After all this, I'm responding the same way you did earlier in this episode. I feel duped. And I think it hurts worse than I thought it would because I became a big believer in what we were doing. I wanted to save kids and fight traffickers. Thanks for sharing your story Jimmy. I can tell it's heartbreaking for you as well and that it's not easy to talk about.
the duality of an undercover lifestyle on one side and a church going man on the other becomes corrosive. I have a friend who worked undercover narco back in my home town. We were in the same ward he served in the bishopric. One Sunday morning we were in ward counsel and b4 the meeting started he says "wanna see what I bought last night?". It was a pic of a 1 gal ziploc bag of cocaine he bought in a truckstop men's room a few hours earlier. The constant back and forth living in two separate worlds took its toll on him and he eventually had to quit. I'm not totally surprised that there are some sus things going on with T Ballard, but it is interesting that this all comes out right at the zenith of the movie and its popularity and not a year ago.
Lynn Kenneth Packer has been reporting on this for years.
why would someone show you a bag of coke? did he think you didn't know what coke looks like? was an "undercover narc officer" trying to impress you with coke from a toilet? the story or your friend is weird 😄
What done in darkness always sees the light. All shall be revealed, the Bible promised.
@@phrogme2450 it took some time to reveal that the basis of Mormonism is a scam but i see your point... it's still silly though
Yes especially now that the movie has exposed so much that is happening with powerful elites in this country. Now that the movie has made a lot of money, those talking has increased. I say follow the money,even with the man that made this post. He seemed more impressed with his heroic involvement that genuine concern about Underground Railroad. I’m more concerned with those that can be bought.
I’m sure getting this close to evil must open bad pathways. I pray for Tim Ballard and all participants in the OUR, as well as all the victims of human trafficking. 🙏
It’s amazing how anyone that seems to be bringing in money will bring out all these accusers that said nothing before. Follow the money.
@@bonnieoquinn8861 Where is it?
Amen
Tim Ballard/Sean Reyes are corrupt power-hungry men who thought they would escape accountability.
Tim is putting dent into their Billions of Dollars a year business. Not to mention the lives saved.
This is very sad! Saving the children is the most IMPORTANT....
Generating a need for young sexual objectified children in a foreign country is not saving children.
At any time was there a conversation about seeking mental health for what was seen or done? I use to work with someone whose husband works for the FBI taking down child predators here in Utah. Long story short, because of what they see, she told me at that time the people doing this work are only allowed to see a certain amount of time or pictures, but they then have to go get therapy to keep them balanced and ok because it is horrible.
So that is why I wondered if that was ever a conversation and if not, maybe something for those in this industry to really consider going forward. It’s healthy to seek help. 19:37
You are 100% correct. HSI does the same. So it is strange that OUR does not have **something** similar.
Its more than healthy. Its the law to maintain your mental health
Tramping around poor countries inquiring "where can I buy kids?" And coming up empty handed at least half the time sounds like a huge waste of money, time and resources. It also sounds like the missions were creating a demand where there wasn’t one before.

Thank you Jimmy for this honest and open insight into the world of OUR and your experiences with Tim. As the founder and CEO of a nonprofit, Saving Lost Kids, I am asked weekly about the movie and about Tim. As someone in charge of an organization trying to do great things, my eyes were opened about how some support for the right reasons, some for wrong, and some who are unhealthy, if you don’t feed their narcissism. Your insights here are helpful to me and our organization, because it encourages us to keep our eyes on the prize, and be careful to not let evil or destructive people to restrict or destroy something beautiful that God has created. Thank you again. And thank you for giving of yourself and your safety for the welfare of children that you didn’t even know. I pray that someday we might be able to meet, as I’m sure you have many more nuggets of wisdom that can help our humble organization to continue to grow in a more beautiful way. Sincerest regards, Brian Callies - Saving Lost Kids.
Do you also operate in the US, saving kids that are being molested in the Mormon church, Catholic church and other religious organizations where by US law abuse is not required to be reported.
@bcallies7 @@ericnelson9100 No, he’s just a full of shit pastor opportunist.
I looked at your website and mission Brian Callies, and you fundraise off of big promises, little effort, and absolutely zero evidence of having any impact on the trafficking of children. You will have other people calling you out that have either been in actual facilities or have real experience with this kind of trauma and recovery. How many golf tournaments, banquets and special events did you hold and what was the ratio to children saved. Is it like one kid equal’s a big golf tournament? Get real, not fooling anyone with half a brain, access to the internet and 10 minutes.

And support Erin's Law which is federally funded under the general education budget in the US. Erin's Law is taught as part of the school safety program in 38 states but religious institutions need Erin's Law, as well.
If what you are saying is true, then I feel awful for the people involved, including Tim. I have been to dark places in my life where I stopped and asked myself, "How did I get here?" I understand the slippery slope and people making awful, life-changing decisions. If Tim has done things that are wrong like adultery etc., there is no reason for us to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Sound of Freedom is a great movie, OUR is doing great things. I still stand with O.U.R. We can still continue to save women and children. Hopefully Tim and those involved can heal and grow and move on from this. So sad.
19:53 it's all over utube that Tim has been excommunicated from the Morman church. I found out about your podcast from Dr. John and Loren.
Sound of Freedom is totally fake. OUR does nothing.
@@karencollins2661 Yes, and everything you hear and see on the internet is true? So what does that have to do with anything I said? Absolutely nothing.

Everyone's so ready to bash this guy while ignoring the base cause of his efforts as a deterrent against these insidious crimes.
@@nottthereyet4872 The women are claiming that Tim sexually abused them.
What is the base cause of his efforts? There is no evidence that he ever saved anyone. There is evidence that he and his wife desired to sell children.
Well, if there is one thing we all had to learn during the pandemic, it's that there is nothing on earth that can't be politicizes and/or monetized. AND some self declared vigilante super action heros are much more exciting than the people who do the real, hard and often boring work.🤷🏻♀️
This sounds like a large CYA ploy. Will the truth ever be known? How many narcissists are involved with this group?
Hidden Gems said Tims boss at Homeland let him just go to work and write books and that the opinion of hos coworkers of him was poor. The homeland boss let him do what he wanted because he was promised a position at OUR. It figures it was John Lines....
I hate to admit it. When I first heard of Tim and his mission, I was stoked. That stuff is a big topic right now. When I heard he was LDS, my first thought was, man I hope this isnt a scam we need a W right now so badly in this world. The jury is still out, but, I will say this crap coming out is like OJ's bloody glove.
LDS was a question to me……
Bro…..study all the good the lds church does around the world, it’s mind boggling
Interesting analogy because the bloody glove didn't fit OJ and it gave reasonable doubt to the jury and the famous line: "If the glove don't fit--you must acquit!"
Same. We were all duped. But at least we are willing to be honest with ourselves
I disagree with being duped. If Tim is having affairs with adult women that should in no way discount that the work he is doing is catching peodphiles rescuing children that are being raped daily and for each one arrested, how many children are then saved from each one arrested before the next child was going to be sold and used. We don not have enough people saving the children..children that are being violently raped. Agents have watched thousands of hours of videos of children being raped..they HAVE the digital files, and one man who was recently arrested, his name is on public record, they have over 2,000 images of The kids, The U.S. Police force . The child Tim and his wife adopted were taken after the earthquake in Haiti when they were below five.
Mmmm heres the thing, Tim Ballard is Not a marriage counselor. He never claimed to be someone perfect. His aim was to BRING HUMAN TRAFFICKING TO LIGHT. If he is an adulterer, well, may his consequences follow...But regardless, Tim Ballard brought human trafficking to light, And
Tim did a hell of a job doing that💪🏼💪🏾 I never looked at Tim like he's Jesus, so accept his imperfections, and accept yours as well 👍 He fulfilled his purpose 🤷🏽♂️
Now this guy wants to say something? We will always be around imperfect people. If cheating on his wife is true, I HOPE HE CHANGES THAT AND REPENTS.
For now, let's focus on saving people from being sex trafficked, That's what's more important than all this bull crap being talked about. #SameTeam
I don’t care if he was an adulterer.
If he assaulted women, that is one thing, but if it’s just over his sex life, that’s none of my business.

13:10 - “One of the arrests was an 8th Grade Sch Teacher who used her position to get these girls (aged 11 & 12) to go to a party. Next thing they knew they were being raped, drugged, told if they told anyone they would be killed… so that’s how trafficking works, it’s not like these girls are being held against their will 24/7! It’s not like it’s portrayed in the sound of freedom”.
Oh ok, that’s alright then! Said any normal decent parent!!!😳
Ive been so frustrated that no one knew the truth....I was losing my mind....finally...excellent video....thank you thank you thank you...
And you know for a fact what Jimmy is saying is the truth? What makes you say that? Can you confirm all his accounts that he spoke of?
@@llenhu7537 do your research... he is a snake...
Thanks for sharing your experience and perspective. All pretty reasonable.
We don't know if someone had an affair unless we were there. Character assignation is the devils game. There is an accuser of the brethren. Anger is a motivation to diss another. I am sad to pickup anger in this presentation.
I agree! He reminds me of a coattail rider.
You should be sadder about someone with a Messiah complex fooling and defrauding people and God knows what else. I don't get why people are so enthralled by Tim Ballard and ignore all the evidence that has come out against him by multiple sources and over a long period of time.
As far as I know, being a cheater, doesn't count you out of saving kids
Seems to me that if everyone really cared about saving children they wouldn’t be coming out of the woodwork to say look at how great I am but that Ballard is an awful man.
YES! And THANK YOU for starting the obvious!
I have a real life story which your truth applies to … this stuff happens ALL too often and I cannot see it as anything but gross, sickening apathy:
I was raised in a very dysfunctional, abusive environment. (I’m recovered from a majority of the traumas I experienced, I’m a productive citizen, respectful of law, morals and of others. I wanted to note this because I’m not looking for pity here 👍)
Here’s the problem:
AFTER I was an adult, it’s SHOCKING how many people (who were both childhood acquaintances and adults when I was a child) that have literally approached me and mindlessly asked, “We’re you abused when you were a kid?”
Caught off guard, I’d give some minimal affirmative response.
And they would respond with, “I kinda thought there were some bad things going on”.
**Now … What in the world am I even supposed to do with that?!?
I almost want to grill them - “WHY didn’t you help me?!?”
At the same time, I wanted to rip into them and ask why they were even telling me this now? I mean, am I supposed to count them as some kind of hero because though they didn’t do or say anything to help, HEY, at LEAST they were aware of my nightmare situation 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
It gets worse, even!! There have been adults (The literally PARENTS of childhood acquaintances that then tried to groom me to become part of their perverted, multi participant sex parties once they had confirmed I had been abused as a kid 🤮🤮🤮
OMG! I learned fast just how sick people in this world can be.
It’s enough to not look bit closer when you suspect, to not report what you become aware of … But to THEN try to manipulate a victim of abuse years later -- just sick!
As for the people who are now coming out with all these revelations about OUR and T Ballard …
I never believe until there’s plenty of irrefutable evidence. With as much deception and lies as there are these days, it’s so difficult to even know what can be counted as irrefutable because deceivers are masters at their trade.
But for all the years that OUR operated … for this guy’s statements that ‘he KNEW’ Tim ‘WAS’ having affairs, the fact that the Sound of Freedom movie was completed 5 years ago then bought and shelved to prevent it from coming out …. It’s not until it’s released that suddenly there’s a flood of ‘so-called’ heroes that have some deep, dark secrets to tell?
They’re going to have to do a LOT better!
I don’t want to be misunderstood - if Tim or ANYone is guilty of crimes, they need to be equally prosecuted and punished under the rule of law - NOT in the court of public opinion.
And if ANY of these people are lying in this mess, they should be punished under defamation laws, period.
The sad truth: nothing like this is EVER pursued to any level of completion.
Anyway, just wanted to share my perspective.
It happens to be December 25, so a MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and yours 🌹👍
9 kids and a wife alone at home while Tim plays wealthy 1st class Cosplay "sex tourist" with his female operatives.
I wish it wasn't this way but, like you said, we almost need video or audio proof of Tim's alleged affairs before judging him on that, just like video proof of the girls before a raid can go gangbusters on the group. The women also had free agency to say no way & so (if true) it wasn't just him but maybe they felt like he swayed them into it. I hate to be skeptical, but I have to, after that false accuser of the Supreme Court Judge as he was being considered, it was all a ruse with millions of dollars behind it & the media loving to tell the fake details & in the end, nada. But, I do see a scenario where it could be true, so, we will wait to make any decision on it.
That is a wise position that too few people will take.
. I can tell you that it was painful to share the story, but thank you for your honesty. God bless you.
I’m sorry you experienced, witnessed evil face to face. it must have been surreal to be in the deep rabbit hole of evil. Beyond my mind can comprehend how big and how dark-evil child trafficking. I am sad the story of OUR is part of any kind of sexual harassment/abuse. If the allegations are true about Tim Ballard, we should put our arms around his children and wife. My prayers are for his family and for all women or men who have suffered from abuse. Let’s keep our attention on those who really deserve our breath and attention, the children.
Oh for crying out loud. The damn rabbit hole in in the community where you live, where I live .. it’s people who befriend and groom your family members. Not too different from how you have been groomed to desire to protect and support this conman Tim Ballard.
Take off the glasses, let go of the preconceived idea that this is a ‘dark and scary rabbit hole’ .. the darkness lives in the house on the hill!
Look at Ruby Franke and what she did to her kids! Human Trafficking exists right here.
Your bloodline js contaminated with demonia and hamblins. That is why you were told to think tim is a conman. Demonia owns u
Your point that the rabbit hole is right here couldn’t be more true. Thank you for your comment! ❤
His wife is just as guilty, she harrassed victims, that's witness tampering. She's no innocent babe in the woods; just as guilty as him and Sean Reyes. They all need to be imprisoned.
@@ericnelson9100l
The Church does nothing but look out for themselves and their own interests. 100%. Speaking from personal experience.
Thank you for being brave enough to speak to vice about your experience and being honest.
¿Y los niños?
Todos los que están criticando a Tim ¿Ya han rescatado alguno?
Es muy fácil hablar desde un escritorio cómodamente sentado pero arriesgar la vida por salvar a un pequeño, no cualquiera.
Eso me convence más que cualquier palabrería vana.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He stared into the abyss and it gazed back. Fighting monsters can turn you into them. Now that’s an exaggeration but great men do have flaws.
Help me to understand something. Didn’t you say that a couple months ago you made a post saying you didn't see or know of Tim doing anything wrong? But now you're claiming he had affairs? What evidence do you have to make you draw the conclusion that he's guilty of such a thing now? Because that's what's lacking with this entire thing--- evidence.
What we seem to have though are people who apparently had issues with Tim but have waited until now to voice them. You can at least understand why so many are skeptical since his detractors have waited until Sound of Freedom and political ambitions to surface to come out with all this.
I look forward to evidence. Because I'm tired of allegations, anonymous sources, poorly written statements, and a pathetic media. Evidence and facts matter.
I’ve personally spoken with the victims. 3 of them now. They are planning to come forward
But speaking with people isn't evidence. For example, someone me and my family know COMPLETELY fabricated falsehoods about us. Just because people spoke with that individual didn't make their claims about us true. Same thing applies here.
Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that you don't have evidence but that you find their stories believable (which also doesn't mean their claims are true)?
These are important distinctions because you are sharing what you portray as a lot of insider information. If you're not careful in how you frame things, you may lead people to believe you have access to hard evidence of Tim's guilt, when in fact you do not (if that's the case).
Again, big difference between having the evidence or having seen the evidence that proves it beyond doubt and simply believing what people say could be true.
When it comes to destroying someone's character (and in this case their family), I want evidence and facts proving their guilt. Not just unfounded claims. Which, unfortunately, is all we have so far.
Good point!…
The women didn't wait until Sound of Freedom was released to come forward. O.U.R began a misconduct investigation which led to Tim leaving O.U.R in June, which was before the movie was released!
@@nostoppingit7243 The script for Sound of Freedom was written in 2015. Filming finished in 2018. Angel Studios eventually got the rights and it was officially released in theaters July 4, 2023. The announcement and buildup for that release came long before the July release. So, let's not pretend that allegations and the internal investigation came outside the timeline of all that because it just isn't true.
Now, having said that, does it mean he's innocent? No. But it certainly doesn't discount the possibility of ulterior motives from the other side either either.
“We couldn’t find any kids being trafficked in more than half of the cities we’ve been to”
I think therein lies some of the problem with OUR and The Sound of Freedom. Trafficking usually doesn’t look like a cabal of men holding a stable of women.
I read an article on Rolling Stone where trafficking experts expressed their concerns with how the movie portrays trafficking because it’s not really how trafficking works, to your point.
It’s usually very small time and by a person who knows the victim. You’re not going to have luck wandering around random Mexican cities looking for a mob with connections. You’d need to find a guy controlling one neighbor girl, etc. Which isn’t economical for a task force. I think the whole model doesn’t really work.
Anyway that’s rambling a bit, but my .02
You never been in Cartagena Colombia?
Wow !!!
You really know eveyone in the whole of the USA and the rest of the world.😂😂and you know of the billions of people living there what each person is thinking and doing.
Superman 😂
And your sources are Rolling Stone? Lol… adorable
How about the house in America that is holding 100 kids? Are they really the parents, as reported, of all 100 kids?
I will admit my bias is with Tim.
I honestly don't know who is telling the truth.
Why is this guy more credible than Tim. Everything he is saying could be based in jealousy and naivete.
I have the names of at least 3 women that I’ve personally talked to. One still working for OUR. They are coming forward soon enough
@@mrjimmyrex And that is why I am waiting to see what comes of this.
Why now Jim? Why do you have courage all of a sudden? Everything you say is hear say!
You can have the power of discernment … and KKNOW… if you want !!!!! Tim is guilty
@@jeffreybernson7978 there are others who also with their power of discernment think that Tim is not guilty. I don't know either way, but I still don't think that we should pretend that none of the good never happened what Tim founded, even if human follies sometimes entered the mix.
It’s too bad the prophets seers and revelators couldn’t foresee this coming 😢
🤣
They did. They did. They saw me coming for them from day 1.
Jimmy, it's clear there were often very good intentions. I wonder how you feel now about the involvement of laypeople in these jumps. Like you've said, multiple things can be true at the same time. You can be a very capable and intelligent person, but also not an expert in the field and not suitable to participate. You admit to significant gaps in training and understanding of trafficking, yet participated a dozen or so times. What would you tell someone else if they were facing similar opportunities to the ones you had? Learning what you've learned over the years, do you feel OUR either met or exceeded the professional and ethical duty of skills training required for these types of sensitive and potentially dangerous situations? If not, what should accountability look like?
"Experts" are often lacking in training and judgment as well. Experience is key, but don't assume someone is a better operator just because they are affiliated with a government. It is often not the case.
It wasn’t handled the right way. A lot of good was done but a lot wasn’t a net positive so I’d say the ops should definitely never be done again the way we did them
We need to stop getting distracted by all the noise ...save the children!!!!
Guaranteed, if they’d look here at home they’d find much more trafficking here in America.
Pastor Troy Brewer is a true servant of the Lord- his operation is pure of spirit- it deserves the support of those wanting to assist these individuals- transparency for sure
AMEN!! He is a legend!!
Thank you for being honest I was just listening to an audio radio broadcast with his wife and it sounds like she’s trying to save the dynasty or she’s completely brainwashed. There kids having to go through all this is tragic.
Too ironic that these accusations come about after the movie was released and after Tim announced he’s running for office.
I stand by Tim.
When Wikipedia is a bashing Tim, you know the accusations against him are lies. They want to silence him. He’s a threat. Wikipedia labeled him a Q-anon Conspiracy Theorist 😂
The "couples ruse" sounds a lot like Joseph Smith reinstating polygamy to cover up his sexual predation.
I lived in Latin America for 20yrs. I left last year due to attempted kidnap of my daughter in Ecuador. I lived where you could not let your children get to far from your reach due to the amount of kidnapping. Costa Rica is amongst the worse, I lived it. I have seen it personally and it is a major problem. Sorry!
I kind of feel when everything comes out , there's gonna be more names than just Tim . And I feel there are a few people sweating bullets.
This is mostly BS so please don’t be so gullible. This has exposed many elites and Hollywood for their sickness towards children. Follow the money with these accusers.
Jimmy, We thank you again for this video. We would like to use some clips with credit and a link to your video. Would this be ok? We are airing a livestream tonight. -HTC
Go ahead
There is a lot of followers of Jesus Christ here.
Let me suggest to go listen to the podcast done by someone and Tim's wife, Katherine Ballard. I am glad I am listening to these and more so that righteous judgment can be made.
To condemn an innocent man is a big sin with God.
Do you really think his wife is gonna go against her husband she has nine kids he made close to five hundred grand a year on the OUR payroll she has nochoice but swallow her pride and suck it up.
Listen to Katherine Ballard and Tammy Peterson (Jordan Petersons wife) it is gold.
A word to the wise and cautionary tale. Our sin's will be shouted from the rooftops..
The life changing part was meeting famous people and getting accolades? Makes sense.
There are so many people doing great things who are not getting rich off it .. who are not celebrities .. these people are changing lives.
@bendryland7213. He does state that doesn't he? Hmmmm
Exactly! My opinion is that the Mormon church fosters this - men literally believe they’ll become gods in the afterlife. How can they not develop a god complex in day-to-day life?
@@nursekillm Exactly, spot on
Does ONE person here care what this guy thinks of actor, Jim C? What a nut!
All of it just hurts my heart. The whole subject is sad and scary and it hurts my heart. I’m grateful you are safe. ❤
I believe that Tim Ballard is telling the truth!
Dude. DECAF. Thanks for telling the truth.
Thank you for putting a few more pieces of the puzzle into place. Sometimes it is hard to hear the truth but the only way to get there is to see what the different players are doing.
What truths?
No receipts no documentation no proof of a single shred of criminal illegal activity. Just frenetic ramblings. Vice? Really?
Tryin to build his tiny channel is all I’m seeing.
@@teresabringas4839 There was an internal investigation within operation ur that lasted at least a year before they decided to fire him...
@@teresabringas4839That's my initial take away. Big topic. Big views.
Thank you for being so candid.
If it was so bad, why are you just saying something now.
Probably out of respect for everyone involved
And because of comments like yours
A lot of things take time to deconstruct.
He explains that in the first 2 minutes
Maybe because Maga radicals are violent?
Ok… Tim had affairs, if they were adults it’s a share responsibility, no one “breaks a marriage” if you cheat, no one “made you” do it, right? Just my two cents
Thanks for the perspective Jimmy. Not many could do what you do and it takes guts to speak up, especially when trying to respect those involved. Keep shining that light man, you’re doing God’s work. 🙌🏼
Tum groomed adult woman to "roll play"... in this word "Tim broke up families!!"..
Not even.
No Jimmy decided to be part of the problem.
Exposing information that compromises ops.
This guy is so full of himself.
Detracting Ballard hurts the mission by ramblings, “I got to go meet so and so…” Name dropping. Proof of what? Illegal activities? He just rambles frenetically about ops.
Listen carefully this Jimmy wants his 15 minutes.
He talked more about hisself than facts to expose Tim. I think we are gullible to except everything he says.
@@teresabringas4839 well said. I saw that also!!
35:00 sorry but you are pretty reckless with details and facts.
BEFORE Sound of Freedom, Angel Studios started years ago a PAY-IT-FORWARD model.
So people can help those who cannot afford to go see the movie (Theaters are so expensive!!).
So think about it, whether the customer goes to the Theater and buys a ticket or they go to Angel Studios online to get a "free" ticket, EITHER WAY, that ticket price💰 goes to the theater where the patron sees the movie. The theater either gets it from Angel Studios or the patron. What's shady about that? You didn't understand and spoke anyway, no investigation to see how it works, just shady marketing implication.😮
Kinda sloppy man. You make people look bad when you discuss ACCUSATIONS like
* Angel Studios
* Tim Ballard
* Andrew Tate (video of his doing what you said is OLD; it is visually apparent. Andrew even admits to being a knucklehead in years past but claims not for a while).
If stating something with stating all the facts, might vindicate someone, but leaving out some info can really hurt someone's reputation.
If you want to be taken seriously, do your homework, not just your opinion. People's lives hang in the balance. Defamation of character is a big deal to oh mighty God.
And childrens lives
Tim and Paul sound like their operation was what I would call “amateur hour”.
if 1 child is trafficked is that not enough?
I agree with this guy on many things but sadly it appears TB still has him conned.
This guy I know said when he went to meetings/conferences in other countries the cab drivers from the airport would ask the visitor if he wanted dates and would arrange it for him. He said that happened from country to country.
Thanks Jimmy this helps put this all into perspective. Life is grey. I believe Tim was initially good and still had good intentions but slowly let ego get in the way and justified slowly until he crossed the line if true.
Why so few "ops" in the US or even in Utah? And what about Reyes?
Jimmy, I'm glad you're coming forward with this. What makes you trust these 3 women you've spoken to who will come forward? Because I think many people are wrongfully accused too (especially those who have done a lot of good in the face of evil), so are you pretty confident they speak the truth?
This is a fair question
Hmmm. I think we call this ‘victim blaming’. I suspect we will all be surprised to one degree or another.
As for me, I didn’t trust this over zealous, pompous arse from the moment I heard of him. Who the hell glorifies themselves for the work they do .. oh yeah, narcissists do .. and they lie.
I thought your entire broadcast was very confusing and unorganized.
Remember, his name was toda , who killed a little kid, nine years old, and Ensenada, México I was the one that got him out of the jail coma, arrogant, arrogant, ungrateful, and feel superior to everybody else, when I got him out of jail he was a nice guy he ever met. Once we cross the border, his behavior change to arrogant, and please don’t bother me.
I’m sure the Tim takedown has nothing to do w/ political affiliation.
The problem with Tim has been published but you chose not to read it Lynn Packer has been reporting about thus for years and Dr. John Dehlin among others vise has been a minor reporter .
Thanks Jimmy for coming forward and sharing your experience.
Why are you speaking now? Especially if you're still afraid of being identified. That's why only a few can do what Tim does. And if he did do anything inappropriate then have him on the show let him be accountable.. What you say is still very unclear. Trafficking is mostly done underground. If you hear from victims they are trafficked thru undergroud clubs, homes connected to other homes and buildings assocated to organised criminal departments etc. Tim had to be believable even if it made him sick which he him self had admitted to multiple times. But was it worth rescuing all these children and adults?. Plus remeber Tim lost everything to do this and put his life, and families life on the line.. I feel that it can't be so black and white to do what Tim is doing. Though it must be said that when you stand for a truth you must represent truth. And if Tim is using this non profit as a guise, then all I can say is that Tim needs to come clean and correct his ways and seek help. Very disappointed with both sides of the arguments. But no one is perfect.
Why is he speaking up? He said it in the 1st two sentences. And he is LEGIT the closest to the situation that actually did the right thing. The lds doesn't believe in psychics and for one that's a given that he stopped listening. God deals in truth. The proof is in the text messages and those that witnessed it. He's the closest to the truth that we are gonna get
Jimmy thank you for sharing your experiences with us. You were able to bring forth these truths. You have helped me personally though my doubts etc. God bless you 🙏 please stay safe.,✨🩵
Thank you...actually did not know that there was any public stuff going on. This confirmed my gut feeling since I had looked at alternative trafficking organizations to donate to after pulling up their financials and seeing over 3 million in payroll and purchases going to about 6 folks including Tim and his wife. It almost looked like the nonprofit was set up to create wealth for his family.
Jimmy, you seem like a very thoughtful guy with a heart in the right place. I’d love to hear your thoughts on white saviourism. Also, I think your audience would love to hear you explore the topic of the sexual abuse that’s rampant all around you in your home neighborhood, city, state, & country and why you think OUR feels like the most effective work they can do to rescue children, is in a foreign land where they have no jurisdiction or authority, rather than root out the evil in their own backyards.
Great take right there
It's Dungeons & Dragons for overpriv King Babies? Glad some were helped tho ~
Props to speaking out Jimmy.
You lost me at energies but I’m following this case & praying for all dark to come to light
A Pyrrhic victory is a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat. Such a victory negates any true sense of achievement or damages long-term progress.
Tim has been admitting that he had to act and do as the trafficers did to get in.
I learned a lot from your perspective and appreciate your thoughts.
I am grateful to you for helping other people & sometimes it takes a certain type of personality to do something like this. That type of personality is not bad, it can be good, but everything must be done in moderation.
I’m sad about Tim, but I also understand that he had one of those personalities & it appears he may have let himself get overly confident, perhaps even prideful. This is a tale as old as time & happens to many, if not most of us along life’s path.
I hope you find the right woman (if you haven’t already) and do good while remaining humble and always remembering that Satan can bring anyone down at anytime if that guard is dropped.We must always stay prayerful and humble; Christ is the only perfect one.
I don’t believe in channeling spirits, but I do think (if it’s important) that we may receive s visit from someone close, such as a deceased grandparent, etc., if necessary. I’m disappointed that Tim was using a psychic because that wasn’t appropriate, but if he was having affairs, that’s even worse..I’m going to pray for him because I’m no better than he is, nor am I better than anyone. But, we all need prayers and we can all repent because of our Savior, Jesus Christ who atoned for our sins if we’d but turn to Him and change, then walk with Him along life’s journey.
God bless you, Jimmy.
That's what undercover work is.
So it appears to me that you are conflicted about what you believe regarding Tim and the real level of the problem that's out there today.
Coming from somebody who's been in-law enforcement and former military career... I can tell you one fact and that 1 fact is that evil and crime are always greater than what is exposed and what comes out... it is never less than that. NEVER. So for you to imply that it's not as big of a deal as they're making it how to be... I would tell you, you are absolutely wrong.
All you have to do is look around and see those who are involved, and to what extent they will go to protect and hide the source of their income and the means to get it.
Your opinion doesn't line with the facts of how crime and evil work.
I went on a mission to Sao Paulo Brazil, so I speak Portuguese and I speak Spanish. I can tell you that along with the careers I've had in-law enforcement and in the Marines things are much worse than what has been shown... not less.
Huge ditto and thank you for your service. Jimmy concedes he doesn't know everything and he was expressing doubts about the severity and child trafficking numbers based on his experience, which was clearly limited. His comments reveal that he and also OUR were working from a place of inexperience and ignorance. There are legitimate anti-human trafficking non-profits working on the front lines who Tim Ballard and OUR could have sought out to learn how to properly conduct undercover ops and gather intel. Their tactics reveal they were naive and ignorant. And they were focused on undercover 'sting' operations which were sensationalistic which helps raise funds, but they were not best practice and that is why anti-trafficking groups criticized them.
Here is the link to OUR's 2022 financial report Form 990. Notice on page 1, salaries, other compensation and benefits (Line 15) is 50% of total revenues (Line 12). On page 7, Tim Ballard received total compensation of $546,458 and worked an average 40 hour week. On Schedule L, Part IV, (pg. 67) Mark Blake, Tim Ballard's brother-in-law and board member, received $278,684, Tim Ballard's wife, Katherine, received $118,283 and their child, Blain Ballard, received $47,918. Since they were no longer doing operations but supposedly sending funds to those who did and provided aftercare support (Schedule F shows six figure wire transfers to entities all over the world for "aftercare"), why the high salaries?

I do want to thank you for posting this information. It takes a confident, brave, secure man to make this video. Thank you.
I'm glad you brought up the Tates and the methods they use to get young women involved in the webcam business. You know what you're talking about. Too many people are willing to overlook what the Tates do and minimise how serious it actually is. Appreciate what you said.
A couple months ago I was able to befriend a bodyguard of Tim Ballard’s and he was defending Tim still at the time even though Tim has the Freemason tie on in his August 9 post 2022 from Argentina, and I was able to show him that and he was able to look at his own photographs and videos, because he is literally standing next to Tim in the picture, and he finally came back and confirmed that he had been duped and lied to, and he was horrified to know that he was part of the exact situations as you just talked about.
Thanks Jimmy! You're always honest and speak truth, no matter what!(let the consequence follow) Ironicly we're taught that as (LDS) youth but it's becoming a rarity today from any and all organizations. You're truly an example out there and I really appreciate you using your talents and platform to seek truth! Not just with this situation, but in everything you engage in. Thanks man!!!!
First, thank you for your efforts to save children. Two, thank you for sharing your version and perspective of the situation with Tim and OUR. Third, prior to this podcast, I wish you would have taken a moment to outline your desired topics, taken a step back and waited 24 hours, revise your outline accordingly, sought out feedback from trusted council then moved forward. I would suggest taking this podcast down and revising it. You are correct that the more it is verified and confirmed that you did specific ops, those people may come knocking (I pray that does not happen). The only time you should speak of these matters is when under oath in court or with the same people that signed the same NDA(assuming you signed a NDA). Security for you and your family should be a priority. Why you would continue to mention the names of so many people is bewildering. Do you not care for their safety? I pray you have not brought any harm to others because of your “feelings” to be transparent. Real Men have integrity, honor and would never put families at risk just for views and subscribers. It could be said “Your character is reflected in this podcast” or “This podcast is not a reflection of the your Character, acknowledge and apologize for it”. You could have gone to Tim and had a “Man to Man” conversation and since you claim to believe in the current direction of OUR, promote OUR and support OUR. Best of luck.
You're a slick guy Jimmy, and you cover yourself well. Ballard made over $500,000 last year and he thanks you for helping him accomplish that. On the flip side, Ballard could drag down a lot of Utah cops and federal agents if he goes full public, so if life insurance is one of your side hustles he probably would not be one to sell a policy to.
Pathetic comment.

I'd like to hear real, professionally trained individuals working with trafficed individuals to critique OUR. Sounds like new victims were being created.

19:50 “Theres this thing energetically with the universe.

Thanks Jimmy, for your insight on this matter. I did operations with OUR from almost the beginning until sometime in 2018. I was on the big mission that was conducted in Columbia, that homeland security took credit for. During my time with OUR, things were ran differently. I noticed the changes that were starting to happen and I backed away.
