AUDIO PODCAST

Guest: Craig Sawyer, Vets For Child Rescue (https://vets4childrescue.org), joins Doug Hagmann to discuss a very disturbing issue regarding his entity’s operation in Millersville, TN. It is alleged that 71 arrest warrants issued by that police jurisdiction (as a result of a cooperative operation between V4CR and the local police) have been delayed due to a complaint filed by a television reporter from Channel 5 out of Nashville. Phil Williams, Chief Investigative Reporter for WTVF-TV, NewsChannel 5, allegedly filed a complaint with the TN Bureau of Investigation against the Millersville Police Department and is now demanding that Craig Sawyer answer a series of questions posed by Williams by the end of business today.

Craig Sawyer appeared today to answer Phil Williams’ questions, but also ask several of his own. First, we present the complete list of questions submitted by Craig Sawyer by Williams, which are embedded in an e-mail from Williams. We are presenting the entire email communication from Williams so readers have the full context of the communication, copied verbatim, minus any personal identifying information of V4CR staff:

Dear [REDACTED]:

If Mr. Sawyer interprets my request for an interview and opportunity for him to comment as a request for me to be interviewed by him or his allies, he is greatly mistaken. I am not interested in being interviewed by Mr. Sawyer nor any of his allies, nor am I interested in any sort of debate. Mr. Sawyer has falsely characterized my journalistic interest in Shawn Taylor and Millersville police as an “intent to obstruct justice” – not to mention his other numerous falsehoods about me – and I will not participate in his continuing effort to wage a propaganda war against me.

As noted in my communications with your organization, I am preparing a story and, in keeping with my responsibility to exercise due diligence, I am offering Mr. Sawyer an opportunity to answer MY questions before that story airs.

Below are the specific questions that I previously submitted to Mr. Sawyer and Mr. [REDACTED] in a separate email:

1. In Contraland, you state that you “put together what I call the VIPR team: Veterans Interdicting Pedophile Rings.” Furthermore, you state that you needed these professionals knowing that “for this kind of work, especially dealing with cartels, I’d need a team of guys I could depend upon for high-threat security.” Can you provide any evidence that V4CR has ever intercepted any “pedophile rings” where cartels or other individuals were actually trafficking children?
2. The name of your organization – Veterans for Child Rescue — implies that you are attempting to physically rescue children. Can you provide any evidence that V4CR has ever rescued any actual children from human trafficking situations on the southern border or anywhere else?
3. In 2018, you led local media on a tour of what you described as a “child rape camp” in the Tucson area. Faced with denials from Tucson police, you later retracted those claims. Given your boasts about being a trained federal investigator, how were you so easily duped?
4. In a recent podcast interview you justified your work in Millersville by claiming that planeloads of children were being flown into the U.S. by sex traffickers. You stated, “And one of those locations is near Nashville, Tennessee, that they are flying the children into. So there’s a lot of child trafficking around Nashville.” Law enforcement in Tennessee say they have zero evidence that such claims are true. Given your boasts about being a former Navy SEAL and a trained federal investigator, have you ever intercepted any such flights? Do you have video or photos of those planeloads of children being flown into Tennessee? Do you have video or photos to support Shawn Taylor’s claims of children “being chained to walls, that are being raped”? Given your boasts about your background, what should people conclude about your inability to provide actual evidence?
5. Your organization has occasionally partnered with local law enforcement to conduct predator stings to arrest/prosecute sick individuals who prey on children. (Clearly, tackling such predation is different from going after individuals who are selling children – which you say is happening on an “industrial scale.”) What legal training do your “chatters” receive to ensure that they are complying with the applicable laws in the jurisdictions where you are working? Do you have an attorney on staff that accompanies your team on these missions?
6. On your website and social media, you have made claims about substantial numbers of warrants being issued for child sexual predators, yet there has been no follow-up to support arrests associated with those claims. What is the explanation?
7. Among your social media claims, you have decried “the Rothschild banking cabal of Luciferian child rapists pushing for global Marxism.” You have also referred to a “satanic cult masquerading as Jews” and “Luciferians pretending to be Jews.” Hate group monitors say such language is barely disguised antisemitism. What is your response?
8. You have made claims about child sex trafficking being a $50 billion a year industry in the United States alone. Please provide your source for that statistic.
9. You have accepted money from infamous conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who mocked the deaths of children at Sandy Hook Elementary. Why should Americans not find that to be hypocritical given your claims to be concerned with the welfare of children?
10. You have a very public association with Sean Moon, thanking him for being “very supportive” of your mission. What exactly is the relationship? Do you support his belief that his father is the Messiah and that he is his father’s heir? What is your relationship with Kahr Arms?

For the sake of transparency and to ensure that no one misconstrues the other, I would appreciate it if Mr. Sawyer or Mr. Sealey would answer these questions in writing by the end of business on Monday, August 19, 2024.

After V4CR has answered in writing, I would propose that we have a follow-up conversation about giving Mr. Sawyer an opportunity to provide the same answers via an on-camera Zoom interview.

I look forward to his response by the requested date/time.

Phil

Below are the questions Mr. Sawyer is posing to Phil Williams:

Questions For Phil

What is your REAL motive for attacking Asst Police Chief Shawn Taylor? 

Your initial claim was it was over a political podcast he did years ago, so why now? Why all the urgency all the sudden? Why didn’t you attack him way back then? 

So now, you attacked Shawn, then you began attacking the Chief, then the Lead Detective. If your real target was Shawn. Why all the changes, unless the pending arrests were your problem? 

Why did you try to take legal action to literally take Asst Chief Taylor’s badge –  his livelihood – TWICE?? 

What business is it of yours whether law enforcement have any internal procedural discussions? How did that even come up on your radar? 

You boasted that your reporting prompted TBI to investigate MPD. Did you think your contacts at TBI would shut down the 70 Millersville child predator arrests? 

Why do you show no compassion for the child victims, who, according to the indicators in the warrants and NCMEC estimates, represent 4,970 children??

Are you coming after me now because it’s an election cycle & you’re out of legit material? 

Are you coming after me now because your smear campaign and legal attacks on Shawn Taylor, the Chief and the Detective all failed to stop the 70 warrants? 

How much reporting have you done on organized crime in the Nashville region in recent years? 

Will you denounce & condemn the sexualization of children? 

Will you denounce & condemn child rape? 

Will you vow to support law enforcement who protect children and arrest their predators? 

What would you say right now to the wicked souls who harm and traumatize children with sexual assault?

Are you worried about the names who will be caught in the 70 warrants?  Have you been told to get rid of the “problem”? 

Why are you so adverse to addressing the pedophile and child trafficking issue? 

Why do you call everyone who genuinely works to protect children “conspiracy theorists”? 

Haven’t you trapped yourself in your own agenda by highlighting the fact that 71 child predators were caught in Millersville, YOUR region? 

And since the 71 arrest & warrants agitated you into such a frenzy, don’t you think the families of Nashville deserve to be alerted as to the level of child predation in their area? 

The Governor & Attorney General both call Grant Solomon’s death a “homicide”. What is the nature of your relationship with Aaron Solomon and why haven’t you covered the highly-suspicious death of his son, Grant? 

Do you vet your sources, Phil? 

Because we know your 2 sources on this entire story, both felons & con artists. One has 36 arrests, both currently have criminal investigations and warrants by multiple agencies for felony theft, extortion, fraud and more. 

This is an election cycle, Phil. Shouldn’t you be covering election integrity and other important issues, rather than child trafficking, which you claim is just a “conspiracy theory”?

FBI & TBI – Investigate Phil & Chan 5 to get to the bottom of this apparent organized crime coverup campaign.
