1/ Weird fact: Chad Daybell had a speaking platform with The Firm Expo. Tim Ballard also speaks at these conferences. I attended a FIRM expo for days where Tim Ballard was advertised as the main speaker. I spoke to many attendees who knew Chad. [continued below]

2/ One nice woman showed me Chad’s autograph next to Julie Rowe’s on a Title of Liberty flag. I purchased a book where the author told me one chapter was about Chad, but he edited out Chad’s name after Chad was charged. He showed me which chapter.

3/ I met the man who is featured in Chad’s texts and love stories to Lori—Bruce Porter.

Here is a pic of a banner that includes both Bruce and Tim Ballard, plus Bruce and me at this Tim Ballard speaking event and where Bruce is mentioned in Police docs in texts Chad wrote.


4/Throughout the conference OUR was highlighted with Tim’s support and approval, even being advertisers on the conference cover.

On the cover he is highlighted next to Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow’s friend Jason Mow, who is another main speaker

5/ Jason Mow, the man on the cover of the Firm Expo next to Tim — Chad Daybell wept over him in the speech he gave the day he met Lori Vallow. Mow also interviewed Lori Vallow for his podcast. Clip below, but find Chad’s speech in link, start at 33:00:

6/ The woman Hannah Stoddard, who Tim Ballard was scheduled to speak directly after—I’ve listened to a recording of her verbally abusing her own mother in this leaked recording. She is also an OUR supporter.

7/ Shawn Littlebear, another FIRM expo speaker and friend of Chad’s, told me in my interview with him that these conferences are almost like matchmaking events. Everyone starts hooking up with their past-life spouse. My interview with Shawn here:

8/ Tim Ballard’s Sound of Freedom movie has caused a lot of controversy and some wonder why. I get it—why wouldn’t a movie highlighting the tragedy of sex trafficking be applauded and supported by the world?

9/But I think it’s fair that people are skeptical of Operation Underground Railroad [OUR] and Tim Ballard. This is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to unsavory people Tim associates himself with. I could go on …

10/ OUR isn’t only non profit claiming to fight trafficking, but they’re certainly the loudest. Loudest doesn’t mean best. Loudest means other organizations who do better work,SMARTER work,get underfunded while people spend their money on Ballad’s testosterone filled pea protein.

11/ Please support child and human trafficking causes, but do your research. I suggest everyone beware of grifters in sheep clothing.

@UnrollHelper Another important reminder about what the Firm Expo is. This is the conference Melani Gibb and David Warwick were attending in Rexburg the weekend they visited Lori, when J.J. was killed.

Also, the entire banner w/ Tim & Bruce. Pic kindly taken by 2 people who knew Chad & Lori

Another pic that was just sent to me: Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow’s close friend Jason Mow with Tim Ballard. Jason gave buccal swab samples to police for the weekend Tammy Daybell was killed

Here is Tim Ballard highlighted with Roger K Young (founder of AVOW) & Rod Meldrum (Founder of The FIRM expo) This dates back in 2011, showing he has supported these radically political and extreme religious groups that gave Chad Daybell his platform for over a decade.

Tim Ballard with Mike & Nancy James—the Founders of “Preparing a People”. Preparing a People is a prepping and visionary conference who gave Chad his speaking platform. It is at a Preparing a People Conference where Chad met Lori while he was speaking and selling his books.

Can we resurface this whole thread? #timballard #chaddaybell

@UnrollHelper Time again to add another reply: arrested therapist #JodiHildebrant spoke at the Eternal Core conference hosted by ‘Visions of Glory’ Thom Harrison & headlined by #TimBallard. Thom was a therapist for O.U.R, & I’m assuming Jodi was too? Still confirming

@UnrollHelper TONIGHT, 6:30 pacific: we cover #TimBallard and #SoundofFreedom youtube.com/live/H6A_js6Or…

@UnrollHelper Time once again to add to this ever growing thread about #TimBallard’s connections to Chad daybell, Lori vallow, and the extremist beliefs. I just finished reading the heavy 90 page lawsuit against Tim Ballard. Tim uses the same line as Chad Daybell—being married in a past life:

@UnrollHelper #TimBallard, subject of the movie #SoundOfFreedom mentions the Book “Visions of Glory” by Thom Harrison. A book we have been concerned about for years. Lori and Chad considered this book scripture. I also know Thom Harrison was meeting with Chad and Julie Rowe in his office.
