Attorneys for five women suing Tim Ballard told a judge Monday that newly filed evidence should be considered in their civil case, pointing to a police report they say contradicts his sworn testimony and to recent social media posts they describe as attacks. In a response filed in Third Judicial District Court, the women argued their addendum opposing Ballard’s motion for terminating sanctions is timely and directly relevant to his credibility. The case is before Judge Chelsea Koch. The addendum includes a recently released Lindon Police Department report related to allegations by Celeste Borys. According to the filing, the report references DNA evidence showing Ballard’s semen on Borys’ skirt. It also quotes Ballard’s attorney as telling investigators the semen resulted from “a consensual sexual encounter” during overseas operations. Plaintiffs argue that statement conflicts with Ballard’s earlier testimony denying sexual activity outside what he has described as the “couples ruse.” Ballard has said the tactic involves a male and female operative posing as a husband and wife to gain the trust of suspected traffickers. He has argued the approach allows a male operative to refuse sex with trafficked victims by saying his partner would not approve, helps build rapport more quickly and is conducted professionally with female operatives treated safely and respectfully. The women also cited Ballard’s Instagram activity from Feb. 16, including posts accusing one plaintiff of involvement in a trafficking network “worse than Epstein Island” and announcing he was producing a “highly produced documentary” about her. In a separate video posted the following day, he said, “I’m not going to hell with these people by covering up their cover-ups.” “Mr. Ballard cannot complain about the submission of evidence that he himself created after the close of briefing,” the response states. Ballard, founder of Operation Underground Railroad and a man portrayed in the film Sound of Freedom, has denied the allegations and filed defamation claims against some accusers. The judge has not yet ruled on the objection.

There are two types of injustice. One type arises from those who cause it; and the other comes from those who are able to act, but do nothing to ward it off from happening to others.- Marcus Aurelius Everyone who was involved in this should be charged.

Heidi committed the unforgivable sin. She dared to speak out against Tim Ballard, the only self proclaimed Matthew 18 compliant saint. Now she is being threatened with lawsuits and being vilified in books and movies. See the pattern? This is how he bullies people into silence.

Moral Legitimacy Cannot Be Built on the Unauthorized Use of Another Person’s Pain, do you understand @TimBallard ? Her Name Is Delia: A Story of Suffering Appropriation and Human Trophyism Men like Tim Ballard say compelling things like, “God’s children are not for sale.” It is the kind of line designed to sound like scripture and function like armor. But moral certainty is not evidence... americancrimejournal.com/her…

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

So here is the catch, and I've known but could sat this, as it is not attainable by civilians, usually. But Lynn Packer has people and showed me a few things. Tim Ballard the Mormon Jeremy Dewitt at it again. But now that I have Jon Lines sworn deposition and it covers Tim's career as a Line agent, from Tim calling for Jon Lines to join him, begging him. Because he wanted use Jon Lines credibility as his own. To defraud people. To try and trick women, to trust play along with sick fantasy. He ran this ineffective and weird teenage boy fantasy scheme, called the Couple's Ruse. He says it is a stand law enforcement tactis that nobody has heard. You take these women are scared to death, because you and Jessica Mass told them all this scary shit, that is is the head of the cartel. But tbey are with you. Mr. CIA and Homeland Security HSI. The whole scheme is Tim doing weird shit, set this threat, so women would be terrified for their lives and under the the constant threat of torture and death let you to molest them, sexually assault and rape them. Tim developed a scheme, some weird cheat code where your wife and god, the church is okay because its just acting. You are sick. This is serial killer shit. Do we have a full accounting of every woman that left with you? How is it, the Attorney General of Utah Sean Reyes promoted Tim Ballard and gave him credibility and allowed and helped Tim Ballard gain access to confidential records? How did Tim gain access to CPS in Utah, children abused so he can use them as props. Jon Lines, the longest serving Special Agent in Charge for HSI, knowingly and admittedly allow Tim Ballard to impersonate a former federal law enforcement officer? He used it to have credibility credibility to defraud people. He swore under oath that he was a federal law enforcement officer for HSI for Human Trafficking twice. Met the President and his daughter, impersonating a former federal law enforcement officer. Sound of Freedom needs to put a scene of what really happened when they would go rescue kids. A scene where Tim is looking from building across the border sees an adult rounding up kids and following a man. Tim picks up the phone and calls his boss, "I need team, we have to go rescue some kids, they are being kidnapped goddamn bureaucracy full assault!" Jon Lines: "Tim, once you are not a cop. I have told you, that's a bus stop amd its the driver. The kids are special need. Now bring me my fucking coffee." @TimBallard spent his entire career at DHS as a Line Agent (non-agent support staff). In 2022, someone showed his employment record, because he was so respected, by members of DHS. Tim Ballard was not a federal agent. He applied to be a Line Agent and left a Line Agent. Line Agents are non-agent civilian support Tim Ballard never applied to be a Special Agent, because he didn't qualify. Once you are selected to be a Special Agent, you go to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC). All people selected to be a Special Agent (federal law enforcement) must complete and pass the Criminal Investigator Training Program (CITP). It is like a 12 week boot camp to become a Federal law enforcement officer. Once completed, you are promoted to Agent and get credentials and a service weapon. You can help make arrests under the direction of a Special Agent. As an agent, really is just waiting for the next class required by HSI. To become a HSI Special Agent, the backbone of Federal Law Enforcement. You are sent to the HSI academy for your HSI specific special agent training (HSISAT). There are a number of specialized training programs for new Agents. You can specialize in: National Security & TradeTransnational Crime Cyber & Financial Crimes Human Trafficking & Exploitation Forensics and Intelligence Let's see, what else is there. Jon Lines, knew you were impersonating a federal law enforcement officer.

Update — Tim Ballard now says he is going to sue the media relations director for @LDSChurch into oblivion. He is also accusing the Church of “criminal evidence tampering.” fox13now.com/news/fox-13-inv…

I don't think you know how many people you have helped. Women, girls, young and in so many ways. Perspectives have changed, and this has put a wedge in grift. You'll never know how much this helped me. Personally. Had I not thought I was doing something important, had purpose, I was lost. Domestic violence counselors in Utah, said it opened many eyes. The human trafficking has changed. Dramatically. People and celebrities, advocacy, has opened and changed direction. Right now, True Crime and Tim Ballard have done damage to this country. Perception of crime, and human trafficking has derailed trials. Sociologists and criminologists have talked about it. People think human trafficking and sexual assaults are typically violent acts. I always thought it was known that sexual assault was a very personal and emotional, confusing time for girls and women. Growing up girls around us, friends and family it was always friend or something and they deeply cared for the individual. I guess this is not understood by many. The bravery you guys have displayed, you've empowered women and educated men. True crime and human trafficking need people that will educate. You have saved lives, in more ways than one. I learned this the other day. Tim Tebow did an interview with Shawn Ryan, I think it was six months ago. By exposing Ballard, other men in the sphere and orbits that Tim Ballard had influenced, and Tim Tebow had educated himself and others. He educated Shawn Ryan that day, and some men struggling with it. I cannot tell you how many men have come to the site because they sought more information. That comes back to you. Thank you for what you've done. The grace and dignity you have shown. I know some of you have been in dark place to, you've not shown weakness. The one thing that I know, that nobody has seen, is how good of people you are. Tim had people that really cared for him, so much so, even after he violated many of you, how much wanted help him. Mike has shown incredible restraint and put family and first, instead of worrying about what other people think or lashing out and trying ease his pain. Young men need to see that. The fact that Tim has the audacity to say, all these women fell in love with and now they want to put him in prison. Tim Ballard was so desperate, and such a little punk, he went to a woman, not only did have to try and belittle Mike Borys, but call him "an international assassin" and bring in his goon, Radd Berrett. That is desperation that is just low. Girls would shame boys for doing that when I was kid. My cousin Heather really this guy, she was 16 or 17 years-old and I was 14, he tried tell something about this other guy that wasn't around, and she started making fun of him. My cousin that's my age and Heather, and we beat his ass and that's disrespectful. The fact men have given pass for this, because that proves that Ballard saw a hurdle to consent. If you are trying to get with a married or woman with a boyfriend, whether you are trying to get her in bed or the bar, if she tells you she can't because she has a husband or boyfriend, and then you start bad mouthing him? Tim literally went full stop, international assassin and murderer and then friend involved, is this a Utah thing? You guys start telling girls, BS? "He's got herpes!" We not talking about issues. If you are some religious man who is out here pretending Mr. LDS, you do not marriages? Tim is married, hitting on a married, who reminds him she is married. If is supposed to be friend you care for, why would you put her in that position? Is this acceptable LDS world? This explains why some men are single and have a problem with women. I've spoke and met with Mile Borys. I have never heard anyone say anything negative about Mike. He supported and trusted his wife, and something she wanted to do. There are men that are very jealous. Celeste tells Tim, just how supportive her husband is. International assassin? I've never heard boy go there. If met Mike, you know that is not who he is. Now, for Celeste that probably knew Tim desperate piece of shit. If a woman tried to get with me, and tells me my wife was a international assassin? Sorry babe, you gotta go. That is desperation, and unless something has changed that's not attractive that nasty, that tells me this is person that will do whatever it takes to get what they want. These little issues are all over the place, and there is a true lack of education. For example. People say, "well Tim Loaded up the messages". Maybe he did, but in court they don't accept just what is on your phone. There is subpoena to phone and if they can't get the message outright, the text is logged, date and time.

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

Justin, Who exactly has “bullied, threatened, or intimidated” you? I’ve watched the same public exchanges you have, and unless I missed a memo, no one directly involved in this case has done a single thing that qualifies as bullying or intimidation. Not one. And I say that with genuine curiosity, not sarcasm. If there were threats, show them. Bring them into the light. Because the Borys' and the wokenni, Righter, Lynch, Davis, and the rest—do not strike me as the type to slink around issuing shadow-warnings. Their attorneys even less so. What you’re describing sounds far more like a familiar phenomenon among current and former LDS members: the reflex to interpret even mild disagreement, skepticism, or fact-checking as something sinister. There’s a reason ex-Mormons jokingly call it “LDS Syndrome.” A simple question becomes an attack. A contradiction becomes persecution. And heaven forbid you bring up well-known historical or doctrinal errors—suddenly you’re not discussing facts; you’re threatening someone’s eternal family. Pointing out that the Book of Mormon quotes Joseph Smith’s 1611 King James Bible—errors and all—isn’t an assault on anyone’s soul. But to certain ears, it might as well be an excommunication order signed by Satan himself. Enter the melodrama: “Not my marriage! Not the children!” One almost expects organ music in the background. So let me ask plainly: who threatened you? Because I have actual cease-and-desists. I have documented threats. I’ve been approached by law enforcement about my safety and others’ safety because of Ballard and his orbit. Did YOU get any of that? Did the FBI contact you? Local PD? Kirton McConkie? Adam Becker? Some Ballard-adjacent goon squad? If so—show it. If not, then let’s not pretend wounded-hero theatrics are evidence. And since this is the second time you’ve floated that Ballard “may be suing you” or “is preparing something,” let me ask, who told you that? Because that is not a rumor you casually toss around for dramatic effect. It’s a claim that requires specificity. Here’s my concern, Justin: I think you accidentally made yourself the story. That is the cardinal sin of journalism and investigative work. You don’t become part of the narrative. You don’t become a character in the drama. You don’t turn the lens on yourself. You claim to be telling "two sides" to the story, so you're a "talk show"? Advocate or journalist, I'm confused as to your role? When you make claims and state things, what is you process to ensure quality control and maintain accuracy? What is your system. My mission statement on ACJ states explicitly what the process is to maintain a high bar and eliminate mistakes as "best as possible". Make no mistake, that is a system that is taught at universities. If a claim is made, are you vetting and corroborating? Witness statements? Not vibes. Not sides. Not whatever emotional gust happens to be blowing through Twitter on a Tuesday. Facts. As a journalist my commitment is to the public, not to anyone’s personal crusade or vendetta. That is how journalism works. Or at least how it’s supposed to work. You, on the other hand, seem to have one foot in the story and one foot in your own reflection, and that is a dangerous place to stand. A journalist must maintain quality control. Every comment you make is permanent. Every assertion carries consequences. If you’re wrong, the internet will not forget. Ask people who’ve begged me to “run a story” and pull a fast one. I spent an hour with each, and it crumbles. They both decided very quickly they didn’t want that level of scrutiny. I'm not a hired-gun journalist. I don’t settle scores. I don’t launder agendas. So again. If someone truly threatened or intimidated you, name them. Either you supply names and evidence or retract your libelous claims. If not, then stop turning skepticism into martyrdom. This case already has enough victims. We don’t need another one invented for the sake of theatrics.

Salt Lake County declines to file criminal charges against Tim Ballard His accusers reported him to at least 9 police departments. It's unclear how many of the other 8 cases are still ongoing. fox13now.com/news/fox-13-inv…

Happy Birthday my brother and sister Marines!!🇺🇸

Tim hasn’t saved any children. Other organizations have and he takes credit for that. My organization was one of those. His ridiculous made up numbers that changes from 7k to 10k to 11k in every interview and even Katherine’s interviews are all fake. OUR has zero records of these numbers. Please stop taking Tim’s words to heart. They are lies and you can fact check those lies. He is an awful, deceitful, dishonest, rapist, fraudster, you would have never won the senate seat. To many intelligent people knew he was a conman. He absolutely sexually assaulted and raped those women. That is the huge reason his for excommunicated it wasn’t a witch hunt from the Mormon church it was his wrongdoings.

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

Let me preface this by saying, I believe your intentions are good. You want to expose injustice, to stand with the wounded, to bring truth to light. Look, Tim's victims that have been sexually violated, bullied, harassed, those have been scammed, robbed and taken advantage of, wasn't looking to hash out a conversation in this thread. Tim has a platform. Now you have said previously, a long time ago. You stand with victims. You never mingle or attempt to mingle perpetrators and victims or their fan clubs, this isn't a football game. The way you’re presenting it makes Tim Ballard look like a victim, and you’re amplifying his lies. Do you really want that attachment? You’re better than this. You’ve earned the trust of survivors, and advocates , I know some of them and you have followed who believe in you. They follow you because you represent reason in a swamp of opportunists. But they are now watching, hurt and bewildered, as you elevate the words of predator, a man whose life’s work has been deception using children as a shield and justification to violate women and rob people blind. Then we he is exposed, he claims you're hurting the children. Tim is the worst kind of predator. Amplifying his message is the equivalent of a grade school music teacher, having the children sing R. Kelly and P. Diddy. Amplifying his message is like playing pornography on your vehicle's TV with the volume at full blast while cruising through grade school parking lots. Then inviting them to hash it out? They don't want that. Your anger toward the LDS Church has become a lens through which everything bends. In your zeal to wound the institution, you’ve mistaken the raving of a discredited man for revelation. You must course-correct. Quickly. Victims of this man are watching, and they are alarmed. So am I. Fact-finding does not mean publishing every unvetted claim as gospel. Ballard’s statements are misrepresentations, fantasies, and deliberate lies. Every single one collapses under scrutiny. When does the line get drawn? Ballard is not a whistleblower. He is a fraud, a manipulator, and a predator. To grant him martyrdom is to insult his victims twice, first by his hand, and now by your keyboard. When a victim entrusts you with their trauma, that story is not your weapon. It is a sacred trust. To wield it against your personal enemies is to betray them. Ballard’s persecution complex is not truth, it’s the last refuge of a con man cornered by his own deceit. The Church once protected him, but that does not absolve him. Excommunication does not make him a saint. To turn him into a victim now, merely because he can no longer exploit the faithful, is to invert morality itself. There are people still bleeding from what this man has done. Don’t hand him the knife again. A man’s own words often damn him more effectively than any critic. Ballard has been rejected by every institution that embraced him the CIA, Homeland Security, the LDS Church, and his own creation, Operation Underground Railroad. This is not persecution. It is consequence. Ballard is a broken, dangerous opportunist who feeds on faith and fear. He preys on the devout and the naïve, not to save children, but to save himself from irrelevance. Before amplifying his delusions, demand proof. His claims collapse under scrutiny; using them to indict the LDS Church would be like using John Wayne Gacy’s word to measure Ted Bundy’s morality. As per a conversation with a close associate of Ballard I had last night. Ballard's latest obsession with “Satanic Ritual Abuse” is commerce, not conviction. He is currently shifting his religion and politics to pander to the Evangelical MAGA and southern audiences. Then a MAGA Civil War broke out. Now Tim had to delay it for several days and if you watch his social media he kept waiting when he said he would release his message "tomorrow", he was hoping to see who came out on top. Right now, he is testing which flavor of hysteria Zionist or anti-Zionist fills his coffers. He doesn’t care about victims. He cares about revenue. He is a salesman of moral panic. If you mistake his delusion for revelation, you will become an unwitting accomplice in his fraud. You are better than this. Your followers and the victims who trust you deserve better. They need advocates and support, people who listen and care. The victims have suffered enough. Don’t make them watch as the man who exploited them becomes your ammunition.

I would like you to realize that if I were to do one show a day on @floodlitorg’s documented sexual abuse cases in the LDS Church, it would take me over 10 years to cover every case.

Tim Ballard is now claiming that people got “confused“ by his interview with Julie Green. I dunno, it all seemed pretty clear to me. The fact that his interview with Troy Ables appears to be indefinitely postponed makes me believe his lawyers may have intervened. Say, who’s paying for these lawyers, anyway? Didn’t Tim say he’s like $2 million in debt right now? Do @KirtonMcConkie lawyers do pro bono work, or did Tim get some shiny new lawyers now that he’s working with Huckabee and Flynn? Time will tell. instagram.com/reel/DP7spgREX…

Feeling down about the world and about myself. Normal human things. I'm sure soon it'll be better. If you're down too, sending you love. I'm hiding from the world for a bit, enjoying the Boston fall months, long runs along the Charles river. I think humans are beautiful and fascinating and for the most part awesome. The internet seems to want to tell you otherwise. I disagree, but I don't have the right words for it. I'll probably do a long solo episode on Dostoevsky (especially Brothers Karamazov) at some point to help me articulate this better. I love you all.

I couldn’t agree more with every single word written by @charliekirk11 in his letter to @netanyahu nypost.com/2025/09/29/us-new…
