This is so unbelievably horrible. It’s kind of taking my breath away.

Oh, no! I hope you aren’t putting yourself in danger by writing about this.

Tbh, I believe I was in the most danger back when I first began covering the corruption. These guys were scared and tried to shut down my stories by threatening to sue, and lying to their congregation/ followers about "the bloggers" being enemies sent by Satan. Pastor Steve Berger did a Facebook live Bible study over several weeks, teaching people to pray curses of destruction over their enemies when I first began writing about all of this on Medium. He and Aaron are not the only shady people in all of this either... many of them have made national news for other terrible things they've done, including Aaron’s buddy Sam Johnson the former Visuwell CEO. That said, they all backed off and just began blocking me on social media so I can't as easily cover their questionable posts, etc. And I wholeheartedly believe they backed off because they realized... nobody in authority cares. Seriously. Other online creators, like TikTok and YouTube influencers, true crime folks etc have made bank making viral videos using my articles. So word has DEFINITELY gotten out over the years. Angie and Gracie have also been on any news venue that will have them to help get more traction... and still, the Governor and Atty General refuse to investigate. They and local journalists like Phil Williams all say we "don't know the real story." And none of them will tell us what that real story is. Perhaps they simply mean that "Angie is crazy?" That's been Aaron’s defense ever since he tried to kill Angie and took the children away from her... when he found out she was working with a psychiatrist who helped women leave abusive relationships. They were working on her safe exit plan to get out safely with both children when Aaron started his war in the courts against her. It's really unbelievable, but at this point, I do get the sense that these men feel unafraid to punish and harass Angie and Gracie now, just as Gracie is getting ready to graduate high school.... and they are unafraid of people like me because nobody in authority has truly listened or done a damned thing. It's so heartbreaking.

Oh, I get it. I’ve been following you since before it all started. I’m just concerned because so many strange things are happening these days, and people are finding new ways to persecute their perceived enemies. BTW, I joined the April 5 demonstration here in Portland OR, and plan to continue marching against the hijacking of our country.

It is so upsetting right now with everything that is happening in this country. And Pastor Steve Berger is a BIG friend of Washington politicians...
