NTEB Responds To The Salacious Allegations Made By Jacob Thompson, Bryan Denlinger And Bruce Bridges Regarding ‘Criminal Misconduct’

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

I, more than most Christians, know the pain of falling repeatedly to the sin that so easily beset me, and the Lord has made NTEB a place for broken people to come to get in the word, get under the Blood and be made whole.

As most of you know by now, Jacob Thompson and his minions like Bruce Bridges and Bryan Denlinger, have launched a ‘hit piece’ on me and NTEB, and they have done their best to destroy me, my family and everything the Lord has given me. After much prayer, counsel with a trusted brother in the Lord, and consultation with a lawyer, this is my response.

“Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:” 1 Peter 2:23 (KJB)

To start with, that article is filled with outright lies and a few scant, partial truths. He has said many things about me that are absolutely, 100% not true. I will respond to those first. I am not a criminal, his term, on any level. I have never been charged or convicted of a crime on any level for fraud, extortion or of a sexual nature. I have never been arrested or detained on any of those things. Never. To say those things as if they were so, when they clearly are not, is a lie. To publish an article claiming those things to be true, when they clearly are not, is something far worse.

Jacob Thompson has stalked me for many years, and now he’s harassing my family members, he contacted my daughter, and is terrorizing my wife by impugning her reputation and character, as well as inappropriately using images of our children! Who’s the monster here? My wife has been in tears ever since. Ironically, he used to be a regular reader of Now The End Begins, and one day he approached me and asked me, to help build me a site that, in his words, would be “just like NTEB”. I declined for obvious reasons, and that started a festering hatred that he has ever since maintained.

If you look at the Winepress News, it’s pretty much a low-level carbon copy of NTEB, with little to no originality of any kind.

When journalists are working on a story, they reach out to the person the article is about for a comment, to get their side of it. That’s what journalists do, that’s what NTEB does as well, we always reach out when we can for a statement. Over the years we have reached out to many of the people we have written about for a statement. Jacob Thompson did not do that. Why not? I am one of the easiest people in the world to contact, people can even book time with me. Jacob Thompson took a 5-year old incident report from 2018 and turned it into a criminal conviction, his words, without ever once asking me if it was true or not. Why on earth would anyone who says they are a Christian do that? That is a complete and total lie, backed up by the incident report, and it’s yet the ‘glittering jewel’ in his article. How preposterous. That incident was investigated, the prosecutor was called in to look at it, and they declined to move forward lacking any evidence that a crime had been committed. Those are the undisputed facts of the case. And that’s why Thompson refused to contact me, because I would have told him exactly what I am telling you, and it would have killed his story. So he pretended it was a “scoop” and called it “investigative journalism”. Maybe this is why so few people visit his site.

Now, let me talk about that from a biblical perspective. 2018 was a watershed year for me, it was the year that I almost permanently lost my lifelong battle with alcohol, that being the year that I tried to commit suicide. Not because of anything related to the incident report but due to various reversals, disappointments and failures in my personal life. I had reached the end of my rope and lost the will or desire to continue. Please don’t think for a minute I am trying to gain your sympathy, because I am not. I have spoken about some of the events of 2018 many, many times on my decade-long radio program, and have used myself as a living testimony to God’s grace and mercy when it is absolutely undeserved. I did not, however, and will not bring anyone else into those conversation besides myself, as it would only hurt and not help anything. All those events, up to and including the night spoken of in the incident report, and well past it, were lifechanging for me. I got on my knees before God, confessed my many sins through many tears, and I turned to the only people who I could count on for help, my NTEB family. Thank God for my NTEB family.

How often should you forgive someone? As often as the Lord has forgiven you, and not one bit more.

I wrote an article desperately asking for help and you guys graciously gave it to me. That financial help, and it was crystal-clear it was personal and not in any way ministry related, is what prevented me from a complete collapse of my entire living situation. In the 5 years since those days in August of 2018, I have done my best to “pay it forward” to any Christian who got into trouble and needed some help. Speaking of that, here’s another irony for you. One of the people who are part of Jacob Thompson’s little group of smut purveyors is a person who received a cash donation from me when they posted a YouTube video saying they didn’t have money to pay for their heating bill. I sent him the money to turn his heat back on March 6^th of this year. Right now he’s calling me a “fake Christian”, but he sure didn’t return the money. So you tell me who the “fake Christian” is.

Let me just conclude by saying this. Of the things I am accused of that I am actually guilty of – habitual drunkenness, occasional fornication and being sometimes a part of sinful conversations with consenting parties – are all are things that I have wept over, and put under the blood of Jesus Christ some time ago, prior to 2023, confessed to the LORD and then talked about on NTEB Bible studies, (again only referencing myself as the offending party and no one else). I have not had a single sip of alcohol since August of 2018. It took me some time, however, up to parts of 2022 to fully win the battle with the flesh, but the Lord gave me the victory there as well. In 2023, the Lord has blessed me with the perfect wife and two amazing bonus children. And that has made people mad as well, they say I don’t deserve it, and guess what? I sure don’t! But isn’t that the very definition of God’s grace? We call Now The End Begins the ministry of broken pieces, and so we are, with me being the chief broken piece. I, more than most Christians, know the pain of falling repeatedly to the sin that so easily beset me, and the Lord has made NTEB a place for broken people to come to get in the word, get under the Blood and be made whole. As for anyone I might have engaged in sinful conduct with, did they not also sin?

“So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.” John 8:7-9 (KJB)

Jesus says that unless you are without sin yourself, to put the rock down. The “christians” who are now attacking me evidentially feel that doesn’t apply to them. It has been the battle of my life, a battle in which the Lord continues to show me grace, mercy and healing. I now show that grace to others 7 days a week in the ministry of NTEB. We sponsor homeless shelters, shelters for battered women here in Saint Augustine, we have paid for many heat, water and power bills of single moms and single dads with kids, put food on the table for cancer patients, and have never once turned down a request for assistance since 2020. I have had phone calls at midnight from Christians battling alcohol, I take nearly every call, and do my best to help get them back on the wagon. I try to show them the grace and forgiveness that God has allowed me, in the hopes that they’ll get their miracle just as I got mine.

“Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:” 2 Timothy 4:14 (KJB)

Jacob Thompson has called me a “proven fraud, extortionist and sexual criminal”, and none of those things are true. They exist only in his dark imagination. Why would a man who calls himself a Christian publish lies about another man? I can only guess. But if I had to guess I would say Jacob Thompson and his friends are mad that the Lord didn’t kill me in 2018, 2019 or in anytime leading up to now. I would guess that Jacob Thompson, looking at the millions of people visiting NTEB and not to his site, fills him with rage, anger and a desire to kill the thing he cannot have. Just like Cain killed Abel. Jacob Thompson is so incensed that he doesn’t care if he drives my wife to tears, doesn’t care that he hasn’t the slightest shred of decency with including photos of my children in such a salacious piece, and is not only dragging my name through the mud but is also dragging other people into it. That’s not journalism, that’s demonic. I have reached out to my lawyer on the legality of someone publishing an article saying someone else is a criminal when they are not, attempting to ruin them, I believe it’s called libel, and he says there’s absolutely a case to be made. But I am praying it will not come to that. It’s my prayer that Jacob Thompson and his buddies will “come to themselves”, realize they are doing the work of Satan, and repent. But looking at my wife’s tear-stained face makes me realize forgiving them might be the hardest thing I could ever do, I honestly hope I can one day. That’s what a Christian would do. In either case, my lawyer will be sending something out shortly.

For those of you who are longtime listeners to our programs, you know the things I have said about myself over the years as I battled with sin.

I have not hidden in a closet by any stretch of the imagination. I have written very candid articles about my struggles and failures, only to have people like Thompson attempt to attack me with information I have already shared. I have never portrayed myself as anything other than a filthy sinner in need of the grace of God. God gave me that, gave me the victory in Jesus Christ, and the Devil has raised up his army in objection. That’s ‘par for the course’ as I read my Bible.

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13,14 (KJB)

Finally my brothers and sisters, Now The End Begins is the Lord’s ministry, not mine, and He can do whatever He wants to do with it. An old preacher once said “where He leads me I will follow, what He feeds me I will swallow.” I love this ministry and our NTEB family with every, tiny bit of my sin-stained heart. I never quit in my personal battles, and will always encourage others who are struggling to do the same. From my time in a wheelchair at 3, to being molested as a child at 12, becoming an alcoholic as a teen, all the way up to right now, I can testify that there is victory in Jesus! I finally got it and so can you. The ‘broken pieces’ of this ministry will see efforts of Thompson, Denlinger and Bridges for what they are, the work of Satan who only comes to seek, to kill and destroy. And to those of you who read this and feel the need to leave, I totally understand. But I was put into this ministry by the Lord, and only the Lord can take me out. In the meantime, we will continue to labour here on the front lines of the end times for any and all who wish to labour with us.

If you are one of the ‘broken pieces’ this ministry has helped, please comment below.

No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance. From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism and depose Donald Trump

As we’ve been telling you all week, war is about to return to the streets of America as it did 5 years ago in the greatest summer of violence and destruction our nation has ever seen. The Left is calling it a ‘nationwide day of defiance’ and they are mobilized and ready to attack this Saturday, June 14th in hundreds of locations across the country. Are you ready for the ‘No Kings’ mass casualty event? You better be because it’s coming, and that’s the memo.

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJB)

I am writing this article to you from an undisclosed location as our family is taking some much-needed vacation, but I brought the laptop ‘just in case’ and I’m glad I did. I didn’t have time to research where the funding for the ‘No Kings’ event is coming from, but if I had to guess it would highly likely be coming through a George Soros proxy group because it usually always does. The verbiage below is taken directly from the ‘No Kings’ site, and I’d advise you to believe them. Welcome to Day 1,913 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, and the summer of bloodshed, destruction and violence just like 2020.

JOIN US FOR A LIVE NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST SATURDAY JUNE 14TH AT NOON EST AS THE ‘NO KINGS’ EVENT UNFOLDS, WE BRING IT TO YOU AS IT HAPPENS.

On June 14th we rise up, No Kings!

They’ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too. far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings. June 14—Flag Day—President Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance. From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism—and show the world what democracy really looks like.

We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.

The flag doesn’t belong to President Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.

On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings. READ MORE

The Current Riots Forming Now Bear A Stunning Resemblance To The ANTIFA And BLM Race Riots Sponsored By George Soros Proxies 8 Years Ago

TV cameras have captured boxes of ‘bionic face shields’ being distributed to protesters in Los Angeles on Monday, leading people to ask if George Soros is paying for it

Think back to the riots that took place 8 years ago, race riots involving ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter, and at nearly all the clash locations, supposedly organic rioters all seemed to have professionally printed signs, most arrived secretly on chartered busses, and piles of bricks showed up around the corner from the protest location. Times goes by and what did we learn? That nearly all of that was paid for by George Soros and the various proxies that run through his Open Society Foundation. That’s the memo.

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB)

No matter what angle you look at the current crop of riots from, it all stinks. What it looks like is a manufactured crisis eagerly being waged by both sides in the hopes of sparking yet another billion-dollar summer of violence. Yesterday, lots and lots of bionic face shields, brand new and still in the box, were suddenly distributed to the rioters in an obvious sign that someone was bankrolling the protests. George Soros wants war, Donald Trump wants war, the real losers will be the American people.

Mysterious Riot Gear Handed Out to LA Protesters Raises Questions

FROM NEWSWEEKS: Footage of the scene showed boxes of solid, full-face masks—almost akin to helmets—being handed out from the back of a pickup truck by two women while a masked driver waited for them to unload the goods. The footage has sparked concerns among some that external agitators are facilitating riots by equipping crowds for potential clashes with the police or National Guard. However, others say the masks are safety gear, worn as a precaution after protesters were injured by rubber bullets that the authorities fired.

Los Angeles has seen days of protests that have tipped over into violence and riots on occasion. Demonstrators are marching against a series of raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement that target undocumented migrants as part of President Donald Trump’s vow for mass deportations.

Footage of protective equipment being handed out to protesters in the California city has sparked concerns that unknown organizers are kitting-out the crowds in riot gear.

Trump has criticized mask-wearing demonstrators, saying the protests are being fueled “by instigators and often paid troublemakers.” However, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has said it is the federal government that has provoked unrest by sending in the National Guard to justify a Trump power grab across the state.

Bionic shields are full-face, transparent visors that are marketed online as a work tool. They can protect against flying debris and chemical splashes and are recommended, for example, for those working as machinists or mechanics in auto body shops.

On Monday, a Fox 11 news crew caught the apparent mask distribution on camera while filming outside the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building by the intersection of Temple Street and Los Angeles Street, where crowds were gathering as National Guard officers lined the steps of the building.Reporter Matthew Seedorff described a sense of tension in the air and said he had seen cars doing “doughnuts” in the street in full view of the police. The camera then zoomed-in on a black pickup with a woman standing in the back of the truck and handing out boxes of face shields to the crowd. Another woman appeared to be helping her from the ground.

Dozens of boxes appeared to be distributed, and several masked and hooded protesters were seen opening the boxes to access the masks before discarding the empty boxes on the street.

The masks, which retail for up to $60 each, appeared to be brand-new as they were still in plastic wrap inside the cardboard boxes. A Fox News report said cameras had shown riot shields and gas masks being handed out.

Fox LA anchor Elex Michaelson wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “We just saw people arrive in Downtown L.A. with truck loads of Bionic Face Shields that demonstrators quickly grabbed. It certainly seems like gear you’d wear if you’re preparing for conflict with police. Who is funding this?”

Eric Daugherty, the assistant news director of Florida’s Voice, shared the Fox footage on X, adding: “WTF? PAID-FOR ‘bionic shields’ are being trucked in for the Los Angeles rioters. These cost around $60, each…and there are BOXES and BOXES of them being handed out. ‘That’s not the kind of thing that you buy in bulk if you don’t plan on doing something with it…’ They are planning for a CLASH.” READ MORE

What Are the Bionic Shields Being Handed Out to LA Protesters?

As chaos continues in Los Angeles over ICE raids, there is mystery over high-tech face masks being handed out from the back of a pickup truck and given to protestors. They are called a bionic shield and provide full protection for your eyes and face. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem responded to violent protestors with a stern warning. President Donald Trump has repeated his claims that sending in the National Guard and Marines was the only way to keep law and order in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles ICE Riots Are The Latest Installment Of Ongoing Psyop That Began With George Floyd And Just May End With An American Police State

President Donald Trump warned there will be ‘troops everywhere’ when asked if he will take more action if the LA protests continue to rage – amid fears that martial law may be declared.

Sometimes when you look out over the landscape of all these events taking place in America, it can be pretty tough to discern who the bad guys and the good guys are, take the chaotic events from over the weekend. Did we watch President Trump sending in troops to quell violence, or did we see an overuse of military force in order to further stoke tensions? Are we watching a government who has our backs, or is it a government working with Palantir to create a surveillance state? That’s the memo.

“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.” Matthew 24:7 (KJB)

If you were to ask me what side I am on, I would respond by saying neither. Here on Day 1,911 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, I am here as a reporter bringing you news from both sides and running it through the filter of my King James Bible. Remember what I told you last year about the election? I told you that voting for Kamala Harris would give you a ‘different ride’ than voting for Donald Trump, but in the end, either choice takes you to the same destination. That is more true now, 132 days into the second Trump administration, than it was when I said it before the election took place last November. The riots and mayhem that sprung up around the killing of George Floyd took place during the first Trump administration, and here in the second, it would seem that the riots and violence have returned. Coincidence or pattern? You tell me. I don’t see one side or the other, I see both sides being controlled by the same shadowy forces in order to bring about civil war and ultimately a totalitarian state. I see ‘1984’ in 2025, and it gets worse with each passing day.

Donald Trump warns ‘we are going to have troops everywhere’ after ICE protests

FROM THE EXPRESS UK: In a directive Saturday, Trump invoked a legal provision allowing him to deploy federal service members when there is ”a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.”

“We are going to have troops everywhere,” Trump said after touching down on Air Force One in New Jersey on Sunday. “We are not going to let this happen to our country.”

Earlier on Saturday, Trump wrote on Truth Social: “Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles after two days of violence, clashes and unrest.”

“We have an incompetent Governor (Newscum) and Mayor (Bass) who were, as usual (just look at how they handled the fires, and now their VERY SLOW PERMITTING disaster. Federal permitting is complete!), unable to to handle the task. These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLERATED,” Trump added. “Also, from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why??? Again, thank you to the National Guard for a job well done!”

On Saturday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids intensified in the area following demonstrations at a federal detention center, where police used tear gas and flash-bangs and detained a union leader. Border Patrol agents donned riot gear and gas masks as they stood watch outside an industrial park in Paramount, releasing tear gas among the crowd of onlookers and demonstrators who lined the sidewalks, some heckling the officers while filming the scene on their phones.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom requested Trump remove the guard members in a letter Sunday afternoon, calling their deployment a “serious breach of state sovereignty.” He was in Los Angeles meeting with local law enforcement and officials. The deployment appeared to be the first time in decades that a state’s national guard was activated without a request from its governor, a significant escalation against those who have sought to hinder the administration’s mass deportation efforts.

“He’s hoping for chaos so he can justify more crackdowns, more fear, more control,” Newsom wrote in an X post. “Stay calm. Never use violence. Stay peaceful,” he said. READ MORE
