Lewis Arthur

As more and more evidence begins to be revealed about the fraud that is Tim Ballard, the individual on whom the main character is based in the propaganda film, Sound of Freedom, and whose organization, Operation Underground Railroad, has been investigated for a litany of crimes — for years! — I want to shine the light on a TRUE hero, and a true boots-on-the-ground child-rescue organization who, importantly, is NOT a “non-profit” and who REFUSES to take money for their life-changing efforts: Lewis Arthur and Veterans on Patrol.

Once again, the most prolific reporter I know, who has had his finger on the pulse of the criminal world of child trafficking and medical kidnapping for over a decade, Brian Shilhavy, has reported on Lewis Arthur and his organization and their true, unglamorous, dangerous yet successful rescues of trafficked children. (Links are below) Meanwhile, according to mormonstories.org and the reporting of Lynn Packer, Tim Ballard and his organization were already being investigated back in 2018 for the following:

“Stockpiling $30M in donations that are not being used to save children.
Excessive compensation to Tim Ballard (over $300k/year).

–Unethical accounting that now is likely hiding Tim Ballard’s total compensation.

-Lavish expenditures (e.g., first class flights, 5 star hotels, dramatic helicopter appearances) with no financial accountability about how funds are used.

-Using false statistics to over-state the prevalence of child sex trafficking worldwide to lure donors.

-Using excessive emotion and religious manipulation to lure donors, including claims to be called of God, and to be protected by God in OUR’s work.

-Using affinity with Mormon celebrities like Mormon apostle M. Russell Ballard, Glenn Beck, and Elizabeth/Ed Smart to lure donors.

-Claiming credit for raids that they were not involved with. – Engaging in illegal and unsafe raids (jump teams) that often yield no positive results.

-Alleged unsavory behavior of jump team members, including illegal drug use during raids, sexual assault, etc.

-Drawing money and attention away from legitimate charities who are meaningfully providing solutions to the problems OUR decries.

-Victimizing and politicizing the suffering of children for political gain (Sean Reyes).
Associating with and taking advantage of known false conspiracy theories like QAnon.
Using the LDS Church’s law firm (Kirton & McConkie) to intimidate and silence whistleblowers.

In summary, manipulating wealthy donors through religious and patriotic emotion and misusing or misallocating funds, all on the backs of a very vulnerable population.”

Additionally, while Tim Ballard and Operation Underground Railroad (OUR) attempted to legitimize their organization by joining forces with the Elizabeth Smart Foundation, that foundation quietly separated from Ballard (though OUR did not, of course, advertise this fact.

Furthermore, OUR’s 2022 Form 990. Salaries, other compensation and benefits were 50% of total revenues. Tim Ballard received total compensation of $546,458 (he works an average 40 hours/week per the Form 990). Mark Blake, Tim Ballard’s brother-in-law and board member, received $278,684, Tim Ballard’s wife, Katherine, received $118,283 and their child, Blain Ballard, received $47,918.

Meanwhile, Lewis Arthur and Veterans on Patrol receive no money and, rather than being heralded as the heros they are, are bad-mouthed by the press (who is, of course, owned by the very people who brought “Sound of Freedom” to life, and who continue to promote it in the theatres they own, the papers they own, and the websites they own).

Importantly, per Brian’s recent article, Veterans on Patrol has Rescued Thousands of Children Sexually Trafficked in the U.S. – Appeals for More Volunteers, you can discover more about Veterans on Patrol.

Lewis Arthur is always looking for volunteers and fuel cards. They do NOT accept donations. Please click on the links below to learn about this important organization, and please consider helping any way you can. And, as always, please share this article as widely as you can.

Finally, please also view the video of a true trafficking survivor I have followed for years, Madyson Marquette (https://healthimpactnews.com/2023/sound-of-freedom-a-movie-about-child-trafficking-produced-by-child-traffickers/) and see why she, too, is slamming this joke of a movie that is, once again, taking advantage of Christian audiences, falsely calling it a “faith-based” movie, and, as I pointed out earlier, pretending that having audiences “pay it forward” by buying a ticket to the movie for a friend or family member through their QR code, is somehow helping this ongoing tragedy against our most innocent.
