Rolling Stone reporting, via Motherboard

quote:

Ballard, however, is no longer associated with Operation Underground Railroad — that is, according to Motherboard, which has been reporting on the organization for years. According to sources close to the organization, and a statement from O.U.R. provided to Motherboard and Rolling Stone, Ballard left the group just prior to the debut of Sound of Freedom, something he has not mentioned on his extensive press tour promoting the film. Though Ballard is still prominently featured on the website for O.U.R. and cited as a founder, O.U.R. said in its statement that Matt Osborne is its president and COO.

While the circumstances around Ballard’s departure are somewhat unclear, his LinkedIn profile states that he is the CEO of the Nazarene Fund, O.U.R.’s sister organization which serves Christians and other religious minorities fleeing persecution in the Middle East.


My algo is ALL skewed due to recent posting on this board

So what. Should he have thrown a party to announce it with trannies that have fake tits walking around so the main stream media would show up?

Holy shite, these people are truly evil

What’s the point of this post besides your internal race to 500k?

They're probably worried the same thing that happened during the Wayfair crisis is going to happen with this movie which did negatively affect victims of trafficking by hurting the organizations that tried to help them

Yes. He apparently is with Glenn Becks organization, and Beck was a principal funder of OUR. How does this relate to the discussions related to the Sound of Freedom?

I don’t think Biden would invite him to the White House.

Smh..... so don't talk about it, don't expose it, keep it quiet, don't attempt to do anything about it, to keep children living as sex slaves aren't put in danger?
They are already in danger. Whoever wrote that is fricking stupid.

Reading between the lines, they don't appreciate the movie Sound of Freedom exposing the trafficking methods of the pedophiles.

Honest question: do you EVER get off TigerDroppings? When do you find time to actually practice law?

Why do you consider it stupid for a criminal to cover their tracks or protect their handlers? Not stupid, just evil.

Right now is my recoup phase. I grinded most of last year and the first part of this year. I did have court Monday and Tuesday. But most of the week is admin work.

I could #lammo (RIP) this thread about the receivables I got the past 2 weeks, though.

It isn’t unclear at all. He has stated many times that he stepped away because he can’t do the missions anymore. His face and story have been on media too much.
