That video of the guy rescuing the snowboarder was better than any movie Hollywood has put out in the last 10 years. Wow. Edge of my seat. And I agree with you, Jeff, doesn’t seem to be staged, just really damn lucky that the guy saw him.

Make sure you go see “Sound of Freedom” on July 4th. You can buy tickets now. I think this will be better than the Passion of Christ. Which is the same actor

I am retracting my thoughts on sound of freedom Movie.

This guy and his friend Tim Ballard are thieves!!!! Do not go to this movie or give any money to this movie! The way he’s talking is a freaking act! All a damn act! He has dozens of lawsuits against him for stealing money. His Dad is a big wig in the government and they are rich as can be!! I am so mad that I ever promoted this movie!! DO NOT GO TO THIS MOVIE NOR DO YOU NEED TO GIVE ANY MONEY TO THESE THIEVES!! THEY ARE LIARS JIM CAVEZIAL AND TIM BALLARD HE IS GIVING MONEY BY THE MILLIONS TO POLITICAL CRAP TO BE THE NEXT WHATEVER!!!

Do you know Tim Ballard is being investigated for fraud? Along with the AG of Utah? He doesn't have evidence of one rescued or rehabilitated child. He has not registered O.U.R as a non-profit company. He has taken in over $47M tax-free donation dollars from heartful people like yourself. It was hard for me to believe at first, until I looked into it. He is a conman, taking advantage of a highly emotional, sensational, topic.

I'm not believing any of this garbage - but you believe what you need to. What I actually believe is the little children and innocents that Mr. Ballard has rescued throughout the world--although he's "high energy", he's also compassionate and committed to this mission that he was "God inspired" to undertake.

I don't 'believe or not believe. I look at the evidence.

I just did a research exercise online and found NO EVIDENCE - only "claims" of malfeasance and misappropriation of funds (none of the articles were recent--they were all in 2020). Sooo...if you have REAL EVIDENCE, by all means share it with us. I am going to see the movie about Tim Ballard and his OUR groups forays to save people from human trafficking enterprises in July - it premieres in theaters in our area on JULY 4th. Here's a link to the movie's trailer (I support it wholeheartedly and have always thought very highly of the actor, Jim Caviezel, who is a good friend of Ballard and portrays him in the movie): https://www.christianpost.com/news/jim-caviezel-calls-on-2-million-people-to-fight-child-sex-trafficking.html

I know the film premiers July 4, 3 years since it was finished... because of the investigation by the Utah AG. I've seen the trailer. I've seen his other films. I know Jim Caviezel plays Tim Ballard; I've seen Sound of Freedom. It was online 1-2 yrs ago. I've done my research. I know they will both make millions, tax free. Still, not one bit of evidence of one rescued or rehabilitated child.

Where did you get your information that there are no rescued or rehabilitated children? I have not seen one article that definitively stated that--all allegations and innuendos. I'm open to your position if you indeed have solid evidence, Gram.

I've invested 20-30 hours in researching Tim Ballard. I don't personally have 'evidence', like a rescued child that I've met. Many videos, interviews, etc state ZERO rescued children. O.U.R. is not a transparent organization. Watch the film about Gardy, the lost boy in Haiti. Listen to the Mormon Stories podcast. It's 3.5 hours. Tim Ballard is a charmer, for sure. Everyone wants to believe in superheros claiming to save children, including me. But I have a more insatiable desire for truth, and NOT being scammed by a conman pulling on my heartstrings.

Holy shiznit!!! You are joking right? I haven’t gone to these links you provided yet, but I will get back to you. God keeps showing me his worn out face for some reason. Just this morning I was wondering if it’s possible it could be fake!! If this is True I will be on the floor crying!! I can’t take this crap anymore! I don’t know what to believe! I just said before I read your post that God cannot blame us right now for being confused! Thank you for these links. God Bless you.

Tim Ballard isn't the first Mormon conman. There are plenty of people, young and old who are sexually abused. But according to these journalists, Tim Ballard has NOT rescued one child.

I suspect this is a planned attack to destroy their credibility. I listened to Steve Bannon interview and they have been under constant scrutiny for years because the cabal doesn’t want the truth to be told . God bless & protect them .

There are plenty of perps out there, but Tim Ballard is not taking Patriots' money and rescuing them, per the investigative journalists that are behind the link provided.

It's interesting how many people run body mounted cameras. We get a lot of new vids from this.

Also, everyone with a car should install a dashcam; one forward and one pointing to the rear.

Yup got one in my car, it was only $60 on Amazon. DIY installed it along with a back-up camera in about an hour.

I installed after I was tailed and harassed by a sheriff's deputy. Came out of my house and he was parked down the street, when I drove off he pulled out and followed me. Road my bumper in an aggressive manner as I drove on my errand including travelling well out of his patrol area. I got tired of it and when I got to a populated area I suddenly pulled over to challenge him. He hesitated, then he took off.

I have no idea what he was up to but I decided then and there I could not trust the police to be honest in a situation where it was my word against theirs. Nor could I trust others, particularly in this age of internet shock videos posted out of context. Had the camera installed within a week.

Have not yet needed it but I'm glad it's there. Very cheap insurance.

Really damn lucky? Nine-lives-needle-in-the-haystack miracle -- if sighting his board was random on an entire mountain? Perhaps the snowboarder had GPS/locator ON, and the rescuer was out in the area looking?
