    Tim Ballard, the anti-child trafficking activist upon whom the movie "Sound of Freedom" is based, is starting a new venture that sources say will coordinate the efforts of multiple groups.

    Ballard left his post as CEO of the Glenn Beck-backed Nazarene Fund after announcing the new plan, and also recently parted ways with Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), the organization he founded and which was the basis for the wildly successful movie. The activist and former Department of Homeland Security agent told Tim Pool recently he was stepping down to start a new foundation called the Spear Fund, which a source close to Ballard described as coalition of anti-trafficking groups that will help coordinate efforts. Ballard is expected to release details about the project soon.

    "I have hope," Ballard said during the podcast as donations started pouring in. "For the first time I have hope that we can actually make an enormous impact in the fight against child slavery."

    The Nazarene Fund issued a statement after Ballard's departure, saying it remains committed to its cause.

    "Tim Ballard is no longer the CEO of the Nazarene Fund," the organization said. "The Nazarene Fund continues to be focused on our mission to Rescue, Rebuild and Restore. There are so many people around the world who are in need of our unique services and we are grateful for the support we receive to help us accomplish our mission."

    The news came after Ballard's exit from OUR, the group that "Sound of Freedom," which has taken in more than $100 million at the box office, is based upon.

    "While Tim Ballard stepped away from OUR several weeks ago, we continue to pursue OUR's core mission," OUR said in a statement. "We are excited that many are learning about the organization and its rescue operations and are seeking ways to support it."

    Ballard was previously appointed by former President Donald Trump to a federal advisory panel on human trafficking.

Understanding that this fragile Republic of the self-governed is in a precarious space in our nation's vast history: What is your honor bound patriotic duty in helping to sustain the continuance of these United States of America?
  I will depend on my Democratic Socialist politicians to continue to march hard toward the Left to provide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for all who think and do as they are told.
  I will defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and support all elected leaders who pledge to protect and insure the continued sovereignty of this Representative Republic.
  I am very concerned about maintaining my current life style without working. I was told that as long as I vote Democrat, I had nothing to worry about ... but now I worry.

In light of continued developments, primarily since 2008, there exists in these United States a Legal System which operates on a proved Two Tiered approach to justice rendered, which primarily benefits Democratic Elites and Woke Ideological Virtue Signalers, representing their co-dependent wards, to the expressed exclusion of normal hardworking American citizens: What is your suggestion in remedying this widespread injustice and, if not corrected, its existential outcome for our Constitutional Republic?
  Complete overhaul of the Department of Justice and their enforcers - the FBI - to reflect a far more honest justice system to keep patriots remaining calm.
  Disband the FBI, and request that congress investigate all unethical and non patriotic practices to partially right the wrongs of a distrusted and politically weaponized "Department of Justice."
  Continue with the current system since the two tiered justice system has been so remarkably beneficial to Democratic Socialist political hegemony; chronic distrust in institutions notwithstanding.

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?
  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.
  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.
  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.
  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.
