I’m not trying to play devils advocate or anything here, but I can’t find much on the guy.
The Wiki page on OUR and Ballard is pretty short.
I’m likely a massive cynic, but I once believed the Red Cross was doing good work around the world. I once thought the same of UNICEF. There’s been articles about the advocates for juveniles in detention facilities being found guilty of crimes like CP possession and abuse.
So I’m now immediately skeptical of anyone “running a non-profit” to help kids being trafficked.
Can anyone discuss what OUR’s “conduct on stings” might be that have received criticism? I know Ballard was on Trump’s sex trafficking partnership, but I also didn’t realize it ended in September of 2020…
Yeah as soon as I heard that and "what a sacrifice it was giving up my pension" I kind of had alarm bells going off.
Also tbh when he said they asked him specifically to take the job "bc they knew he was a man of faith" rang odd...like when has Govt EVER respected faith? Maybe it's true but I just was a little skeptical.
All my 1990s Federal training (from watching the X-Files series) has paid off now in that "trust no one" has become a way of life lmao
I read the interview of the Mormon mom that went on a “sting” with him at 28.
The fact the kids were crying when the police led them out of the house while everyone was on the ground, including the O.U.R. team, made me feel like they were still trafficked, but by the “cops” who “rescued” them.
Yes - this lady

Strike 2, he's a Mormon also. Masonic cultists.
Interesting, do you have a link for that? Is she the one who he mentions in the JP interview as someone who he felt "betrayed him" for publicity?
