He deserves his own thread. Tim Ballard is a wanker.

Funk - watching the group of Ballard defenders' responses to your various posts on CB slowly become fewer and fewer until there are none has been funny to watch.

It has been fun to watch. It definitely is crickets from the Ballard defenders now.

Hey guys, let's not forget about all the good that Tim Ballard did. Just think of all the awareness that he brought to the problem of sex trafficking by engaging in actual sex trafficking. When he was citing his numbers over the years, did that also include women sex trafficked by Tim Ballard?

He did it all for the children. You know that God's children are not for sale, but apparently God's women are there for the taking by Tim Ballard. I mean who wouldn't groom and sexually assault women to save a child?

I guess if you don't bang Tim Ballard in the shower when he calls you into his room for a 'special assignment,' you must be a pedophile. A true visionary.

On another note, it's kind of fun watching Glenn Beck do a 180 after originally digging his heels in so hard he took Tim Ballard's side over the Church and had a 'faith crisis' . I mean... he's kind of the king of 180s after he hated Trump and then realized which side his bread is buttered, but that's what he does. Either his fraud detector is broken or he himself is a fraud. GEE I WONDER WHICH ONE IT IS!

I'd suggest ignoring the stuff at the beginning of this article. The suggestion, without evidence, that Ballard and his wife tried to spice up their marriage with bringing a child into it is gross and offensive (if there is no evidence).

I think the comments from Greg Roberts who created the FBI's task force on child sex tourism are good:

“Where he [Tim Ballard] is going on in that video about faith and all that stuff- it’s just a strange rationalization for him to do what he wanted to do, because it absolutely makes no sense”

They don’t hire anybody who knows what they are doing. We’ve had several federal agents, guys who retired that were on our task force and every time they asked me if they should link up with O.U.R.- long before O.U.R.’s credibility was in question and I’d be like no. I’ve known about Ballard and O.U.R. since those early meetings in Thailand and I told them, Ballard is not going to hire anyone who knows what they’re doing, He’s not going to hire you. Why? Because you know what you’re doing and he knows you’re going to argue with him because he doesn’t know what he’s doing

Look, I was the undercover coordinator in charge of operations, if someone had tried to do that [Ballard’s Couples Ruse], if one of my undercover agents came to me and said they wanted to do that I would have said no. For one, it’s not gonna work and well, uh, you know what?,” Greg Rogers asked in reflection as he lets out this ‘perplexed at that absurdity of it all’ chuckle, “It doesn’t make any sense. Nobody’s gonna believe you. It’s not the way it works, it’s doesn’t even make sense

“Pedophilia is very private. Husbands rarely tell their wives [they are pedophiles]”, he explained, “Actually, it would put you at grave risk. They would not believe you’re there to have sex with children, they’d think you’re a cop or journalist and not do business with you or worse. So why the risk? Working undercover is about having the most success and blending in, not trying to sell some rare technique or betting with other undercovers that you can penetrate in some bizarre fashion. There is no award or benefit for best actor”.

“The couple’s ruse…”, Rogers believes, “That’s just Ballard, quite frankly, just a way for him to be sexually inappropriate with underlings he’s interested in”.

“It was a way for him to rationalize it with all of his devoutness to Mormonism, it was just a way for him to get away with what he wanted to do and it looks to me like the Mormon Church isn’t buying it or allowing him to use saving the children as some cheap excuse. Ballard has never been held accountable.”, Rogers said of Ballard, who constantly invokes his faith.

So I asked Greg Rogers about his very first encounter with Tim Ballard and Operation Underground Railroad, which he estimates to be 2013 or 2014.

“In the interest of full disclosure I was trying to give them [Tim Ballard and O.U.R.] the benefit of the doubt, because he had been a former federal agent”, Rogers explains, “I set up a meeting with our assistant legal attaché and representatives from O.U.R. in Thailand, and they literally came into this meeting talking about having former Nary SEAL jump teams and jumping out of helicopters with machine guns to do snatch and grab missions and it wasn’t even five minutes, and we told them we’re not working with them and they’re not welcome in Thailand.”

Rogers concedes that he probably should have done his homework before setting up the meeting. He told ACJ, that he would have never set up the meeting had he heard or watched the Glenn Beck episode the day they launched Operation Underground Railroad.

“[The legal attaché and I] both warned them that if they showed up with weapons in Thailand, we would arrest them. We told them, sorry you’re not welcome here”, Rogers said he laughed in complete disbelief began shaking his head as Ballard and his associates began to leave the room, “This really couldn’t be your plan. The Thai National Police will arrest you,” Rogers continued to scold the men, “you can’t show up in foreign country with a bunch of M-16s”.

To this day he still can’t believe it, we had to pause on three different occasions due to either Greg Rogers or I busting up as he set the scene.. It was hard for him to imagine this private citizen, especially a former federal agent who thought they could show up in a foreign country with weapons and just snatch up people.

“You’d thought you were getting Punk’d it was so ridiculous”, Rogers chuckled.

OMG-- chef's kiss dose of reality. OF COURSE he can't show up in foreign countries w helicopters and M-16s doing 'drop missions.' What is he-- 12??? And who are all these people he's duped? Does any of that shit make sense to any person with a medium-sized brain? And why would he continue that dumb bullshit? Human clickbait is all he is. F Tim Ballard.

Yeah, that part always seemed incredibly outlandish to me.

Glenn Beck is a real insincere fuckwit and that should be one of the takeaways from all this.

Second lawsuit has been filed.

I read most of the complaint today. Dude is such a sleaze. Sadly, I've known a dude or two not dissimilar to him.

The real question I have is whether homeboy started out like this or if the pressure of the job, the slog of life, or exposure to strip clubs and massage parlors in seedy part of the world led him to this point. His constant need for reassurance of his attactiveness and sexual prowess makes me think he was damaged goods from the get-go.

I feel terribly for the victims of his ruse: the plaintiffs, his family, his donors, and everyone else who put him on a pedestal.

I think it is most likely he was this way from the beginning. I could be wrong.

100% that's his personality. That practiced concerned/smolder face he makes sure to put on all his media. Classic narcissist. He thought it was more important to sound like Rambo 2.0, play dress up, and bone unsuspecting women than actually start any kind of serious or reputable anti-trafficking organization. F Tim Ballard in his stupid face.

Are the complaints publicly available?
