have here not only 221 00:10:18,710 --> 00:10:16,740 the videographer but we also have the 222 00:10:20,570 --> 00:10:18,720 court reporter Miss Barrett doing her 223 00:10:22,910 --> 00:10:20,580 best to type down everything that we say 224 00:10:26,150 --> 00:10:22,920 so for that reason I asked you speak 225 00:10:28,850 --> 00:10:26,160 clearly enunciate if your attorney holds 226 00:10:31,130 --> 00:10:28,860 up her hand what that means is hold on 227 00:10:32,810 --> 00:10:31,140 she wants to State an objection her 228 00:10:34,370 --> 00:10:32,820 objection is not for you it's an 229 00:10:37,130 --> 00:10:34,380 objection for the court reporter to type 230 00:10:39,829 --> 00:10:37,140 down for the judge to read later if he 231 00:10:41,329 --> 00:10:39,839 or she wants okay but after she puts in 232 00:10:43,370 --> 00:10:41,339 her hand after your attorney has a 233 00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:43,380 chance to say her objection I still need 234 00:10:47,090 --> 00:10:45,120 you to answer my question do you 235 00:10:48,590 --> 00:10:47,100 understand that I do there's an 236 00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:48,600 exception to this rule if your attorney 237

will say yeah all my attorney's 243 00:11:03,710 --> 00:11:02,820 instruction but that's up to you to stay 244 00:11:04,910 --> 00:11:03,720 on the record whether you're going to 245 00:11:07,670 -->

but when 1245 01:01:26,870 --> 01:01:23,400 it comes to people violating our 1246 01:01:29,870 --> 01:01:26,880 agreements and trying to completely 1247 01:01:31,549 --> 01:01:29,880 destroy our ability to make any money in 1248 01:01:32,809 --> 01:01:31,559 the spiritual Community which these 1249 01:01:36,170 --> 01:01:32,819 people did 1250 01:01:37,609 --> 01:01:36,180 did and we can

accounted for 1268 01:02:15,950 --> 01:02:14,339 mismanaged and you're saying hey I need 1269 01:02:18,770 --> 01:02:15,960 a way to earn a living is that everyone 1270 01:02:21,650 --> 01:02:18,780 in the community what would speak to me 1271 01:02:23,569 --> 01:02:21,660 for over a year after the videos 1272 01:02:24,710 --> 01:02:23,579 yeah when you say the videos let's be 1273 01:02:28,250 --> 01:02:24,720 clear for the record what you're talking 1274 01:02:30,890 --> 01:02:28,260 about uh the Slander videos that your 1275 01:02:33,410 --> 01:02:30,900 clients put out two days or two weeks 1276 01:02:35,450 --> 01:02:33,420 before Christmas in an attempt to make 1277 01:02:38,809 --> 01:02:35,460 sure that my reputation was completely 1278 01:02:44,690 --> 01:02:40,910 uh two days before Christmas two weeks 1279 01:02:46,309 --> 01:02:44,700 before Christmas of uh 2019 was it or 1280 01:02:47,870 --> 01:02:46,319 2018. 1281 01:02:50,750 --> 01:02:47,880 right it was right after we filed the 1282 01:02:53,450 --> 01:02:50,760 lawsuits and the judge asked everyone to 1283 01:02:56,690 --> 01:02:53,460 come together to come to to speak with 1284 01:02:59,510 --> 01:02:56,700 each other in a way to come up with an 1285 01:03:01,670 --> 01:02:59,520 agreement to end this the judge asked us 1286 01:03:04,010 --> 01:03:01,680 to do that and that's what we thought we 1287 01:03:06,530 --> 01:03:04,020 would do but the next thing we know all 1288 01:03:08,030 --> 01:03:06,540 the videos popped out okay so created 1289 01:03:10,069 --> 01:03:08,040 millions of dollars in damage okay 1290 01:03:12,770 --> 01:03:10,079 million dollars in damage and you're 1291 01:03:14,930 --> 01:03:12,780 saying the videos came out in 2018 or 19 1292 01:03:16,849 --> 01:03:14,940 a couple days before Christmas a couple 1293 01:03:19,190 --> 01:03:16,859 weeks I believe a couple weeks before 1294 01:03:20,690 --> 01:03:19,200 Christmas right after the loss was filed 1295 01:03:22,010 --> 01:03:20,700 is that right and when you say right 1296 01:03:23,930 --> 01:03:22,020 after the lawsuit was filed 1297 01:03:25,250 --> 01:03:23,940 approximately how long after the lawsuit 1298 01:03:26,990 --> 01:03:25,260 was filed do you think these videos came 1299 01:03:30,289 --> 01:03:27,000 out 1300 01:03:32,210 --> 01:03:30,299 I don't know four to six months okay 1301 01:03:34,430 --> 01:03:32,220 so four to six months and the videos 1302 01:03:36,410 --> 01:03:34,440 cause you damage uh let me ask you this 1303 01:03:38,990 --> 01:03:36,420 you mentioned going to Elders before 1304 01:03:40,250 --> 01:03:39,000 getting involved in a lawsuit is that 1305 01:03:42,230 --> 01:03:40,260 something you did in this instance where 1306 01:03:45,349 --> 01:03:42,240 you went to Elders no didn't go to 1307 01:03:47,510 --> 01:03:45,359 Elders we approached the actual people I 1308 01:03:49,010 --> 01:03:47,520 mean the the whole thing with going to 1309 01:03:50,510 --> 01:03:49,020 your elders in this community is then 1310 01:03:53,329 --> 01:03:50,520 the elders talk about it and then it 1311 01:03:55,010 --> 01:03:53,339 goes everywhere and it becomes a big 1312 01:03:58,130 --> 01:03:55,020 public relations nightmare no matter 1313 01:04:01,250 --> 01:03:58,140 what the best way to handle things is 1314 01:04:03,170 --> 01:04:01,260 one on one and you talk to the people 1315 01:04:04,309 --> 01:04:03,180 you have a problem with you don't do 1316 01:04:06,349 --> 01:04:04,319 what a lot of people in this community 1317 01:04:08,990 --> 01:04:06,359 do they just go and 1318 01:04:11,390 --> 01:04:09,000 and complain and then hope it gets 1319 01:04:13,789 --> 01:04:11,400 all resolved by everybody that doesn't 1320 01:04:15,710 --> 01:04:13,799 like what happened it's 1321 01:04:18,349 --> 01:04:15,720 and so you see what most people do in 1322 01:04:19,970 --> 01:04:18,359 the community is being ineffective 1323 01:04:22,069 --> 01:04:19,980 it's obvious that Community is 1324 01:04:25,490 --> 01:04:22,079 completely collapsed because of its 1325 01:04:27,289 --> 01:04:25,500 infighting backstabbing gossiping that 1326 01:04:28,970 --> 01:04:27,299 you know they took advantage of and when 1327 01:04:30,349 --> 01:04:28,980 you say that Community what let's be 1328 01:04:31,789 --> 01:04:30,359 specific what community are you 1329 01:04:36,230 --> 01:04:31,799 referring to 1330 01:04:38,150 --> 01:04:36,240 um the esoteric disclosure community 1331 01:04:39,770 --> 01:04:38,160 and what is esoteric disclosures 1332 01:04:43,609 --> 01:04:39,780 community mean to you 1333 01:04:46,549 --> 01:04:43,619 people that have more esoteric spiritual 1334 01:04:49,870 --> 01:04:46,559 beliefs gravitate together as do people 1335 01:04:51,890 --> 01:04:49,880 who believe in aliens and want to and 1336 01:04:54,770 --> 01:04:51,900 higher technologies that are not 1337 01:04:57,049 --> 01:04:54,780 disclosed that they want released okay 1338 01:04:59,990 --> 01:04:57,059 and so in that Community you feel that 1339 01:05:01,970 --> 01:05:00,000 going to Elders even though a lot of 1340 01:05:03,609 --> 01:05:01,980 people expect that or want that is a PR 1341 01:05:06,549 --> 01:05:03,619 nightmare because there's no 1342 01:05:09,349 --> 01:05:06,559 confidentiality and things get out none 1343 01:05:12,109 --> 01:05:09,359 and so you believe everyone knows that 1344 01:05:14,089 --> 01:05:12,119 there's a zero confidentiality anywhere 1345 01:05:15,710 --> 01:05:14,099 and so your belief is going to that 1346 01:05:17,329 --> 01:05:15,720 person and saying hey I have a problem 1347 01:05:19,730 --> 01:05:17,339 with something you did going to them 1348 01:05:20,510 --> 01:05:19,740 directly is the best way to resolve 1349 01:05:24,230 --> 01:05:20,520 something 1350 01:05:27,410 --> 01:05:24,240 correct yes and before legal action and 1351 01:05:29,270 --> 01:05:27,420 prior to this lawsuit being filed uh did 1352 01:05:30,650 --> 01:05:29,280 you do that with my clients and met them 1353 01:05:34,010 --> 01:05:30,660 and said hey I have a problem with what 1354 01:05:35,930 --> 01:05:34,020 you're doing yes okay and what was their 1355 01:05:37,430 --> 01:05:35,940 response from you they completely 1356 01:05:41,150 --> 01:05:37,440 ignored me 1357 01:05:44,750 --> 01:05:41,160 everyone agreed that I was the CEO and 1358 01:05:48,049 --> 01:05:44,760 everything I said goes when it comes to 1359 01:05:49,730 --> 01:05:48,059 my IP we have them on audio agreeing to 1360 01:05:52,069 --> 01:05:49,740 it we have them in emails agreeing to it 1361 01:05:58,130 --> 01:05:52,079 we have witnesses to them agreeing to it 1362 01:06:00,109 --> 01:05:58,140 and at some point when uh Leon spoke to 1363 01:06:02,390 --> 01:06:00,119 a famous director that looked at our 1364 01:06:04,970 --> 01:06:02,400 stuff and then they said wow this is a
