David Hall aka Grey Area Monarch
Has been exposed by David Shurter

Once in a blue moon, something comes along for the good side, and yesterday was it for me.  It was over a year ago when a man (David Hall) calling himself "Grey Area Monarch" or Grey Area Operator, or OrganizeSafety or Mik Hail or any number of other aliases began emailing me about how he wanted me to stop writing about Jessie Czebotar, that by writing about her I was irreparably damaging the survivors out there.  I didn't buy it.  People don't shy away from telling me what they believe to be the truth, and nobody yet has told me I'm doing irreparable harm to anybody, except him.  In fact, I've been told that what I do is beneficial.  By survivors.  Numerous times.

Fast forward to September of last year, and Grey Area ramped up the harassment via email with me.  Over the course of a few days he became insulting, and demanding.  He accused me of the following:

-being blind
-being complicit with evil
-being an embezzler
-not caring
-being a "problem"
-promoting Luciferianism
-making him sick
-lying and hiding the truth
-being lazy
-being sick in the head
-attacking survivors

In an effort to get him to stop emailing me, and to stop complaining that everything of mine was behind a paywall, I offered to publish our emails back and forth so that others could read them and decide for themselves.  He replied "If you lie about me or fail to show full context you'll be fully exposed everywhere and ill make sure to mention you along with Jessie on larger platforms to get the word out. In fact I already will since you're clearly damaging the community by either being fooled or malicious. I tried to talk to you reasonably and you couldn't of been more wrong and overall full of shit. Shame on you." He also wrote "At this point I HOPE you post them.  Maybe I will in fact.
Yes, I will."  I don't believe he ever did post them, but I did, on September 13, 2023, here on Locals.  You can check the first post out here: https://veronicaswift.locals.com/post/4576413/grey-area-emails.

After I published them, here, on Locals, Grey area came, and he insulted me by messenger (Locals used to have a message feature which it ditched in late 2023).  He then took screenshots of the emails and the posts here on Locals and plastered them all over TwitterX, with more insults and more outright lies against me.

In the life of a blogger about the Luciferian System, things like this take up an enormous amount of time and energy.  In fact, it's one of their strategies, used over and over, to make up lies out of thin air and post them to social media.  Trying to answer those lies takes much, much longer than it does for them to make it up.  They can flood social media with hundreds of insults, lies and other messages in the time it takes to answer back, with documentation, to one of theirs.  So, naturally, it's been used as a strategy against me, because time is precious.  It's why I don't answer back immediately, if at all any more.  I like to let them build up an echo chamber of the same lies (they aren't very creative) because it's easier answering 100 back at once than each and every one.  I let them dig a hole for themselves, essentially.

Later on TwitterX David Hall aka Grey Area Monarch accused me of not just promoting Luciferianism, but of being a Luciferian, which is ludicrous. I've had to learn about it from scratch.  Any mildly honest person reading my blog from the beginning can tell that I didn't know anything and was learning as I went. 

Yesterday on YouTube, David Shurter posted a picture of David Hall, called him out as the spouse of Emma Katherine Pietrzak, host of the Imagination Podcast, and accused that Podcast (and both of them) of being a "honeypot for survivors."  He says they "love bomb" the survivors and "do everything they can to get the last bits of information any of these people have" from them, then "they turn on them."

Then, says Shurter, they "trash" those people.  This is according to the many messages he's received from survivors complaining about Emma, David aka Grey Area and the Imagination Podcast.

Shurter also said "They're (Emma and David and the Podcast) not real.  "They're there to LURE SURVIVORS IN, TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY KNOW AND NEUTRALIZE THEM."  That's a quote.  Here's another: "They love bomb these survivors, they do everything they can to get every last amount of information any of these people have, and then they turn on them and they go after them and anybody who calls them out gets trashed.  They go out of their way to do to others exactly what they do to me (Shurter).  This dude (Hall/Grey Area) just kept sending me these videos and telling me I was a liar."

Wow.  That was pretty much my experience with Grey, as well.  He love-bombed me early on, then started in on me later, and when I started pushing back and not acquiescing to his demands, he trashed me and called me a liar.  But he's the liar.  And publishing our emails proved his escalating levels of desperation, name-calling, and instability.  I think I'm being overly nice with that assessment.  One podcaster on the Days of Noah Podcast TwitterX account tweeted in October of 2023 that David/Grey was "off kilter", "not stable", and "vicious".

When I compiled Grey Area's emails and mine (the whole approximately 38+ email collection from June to September 2023) I made 2 mistakes.  Completely unintended.  I accidentally included one IP address, and I accidentally left out a URL.  

He let me know immediately about the URL link I missed by writing on TwitterX that I "deliberately omitted links and wrote a hit piece."  I immediately revised the compilation and re-published it on 14 September 2023, here on locals.  You can see the revision post here:  https://veronicaswift.locals.com/post/4582532/revised-email-compilation.  I've never claimed perfection, and I do aim to correct things if I make mistakes.  David/Grey doesn't care if he makes mistakes, nor does he correct anything, that I've ever seen.  He was out to trash me and call me a liar just like Shurter said is his normal way of "operating".  I accidentally missed copying ONE link, to my knowledge in the entire collection of email text.  How he thinks I turned our email correspondence into a "hit piece" by missing one link, while immediately revising the file and republishing the whole file with the link included the following day, is beyond me.  I published every email I received from him (I made sure nothing went to spam) yet, later, he still accused me of missing publishing 2 emails.  Where are they?  Did he give them to me?  Email them?  Post them on TwitterX?  Nope.  I still have to this day never seen him produce them.

Then he called me missing the one URL link "Luciferian stuff right there."  ??!! Really?? That's a big stretch for one link.  Later that day he surmised that I have Dissociative Identity Disorder.  Also false.  Then he called my followers "stupid."  False.  The same day, in messages here on Locals, he called me "batshit crazy or malicious" and "disingenuous to your readers" and "a funnel to Jessoes [sic] programmer designed therapy," whatever that means.

The IP address that he claimed I left in deliberately he turned into me endangering his life, until someone pointed out that it tracked to a location "in front of a government building" and did Grey actually live outside of a building not in a residential area camped out in a tent in a parking lot?  He didn't press the IP address much after that, so I'm assuming that it did not, in fact, point to anywhere near where he actually lived, and therefore didn't endanger anybody.  Phew.  It wasn't my intention to leave it in, and lucky for me he was using a vpn to obscure his location.  The fact that it pointed to a government building is... interesting.

David/Grey Area also harped on me for not including the attachments to his email in my email compilation.  I thought that was strange, since two of the email attachments were my own book, in German, a few were of the intake form for (what I assume now to be a survivor harvesting organization called) Organize Safety, and three others were his "logo"; differently colored ouroboros (snakes) with a knife through their head.  I still don't know what any of that had to do with what we were discussing by email.  In the beginning of his complaining about my inadequacies on TwitterX, I thought he was joking, since none of these seemed like any sort of legitimate attachment that I was supposed to pay attention to.  

Then, same day, David/Grey said I "Infiltrated the community - just like doug/Lucien infiltrated."  He claims I "massively tricked" all of you and am "promoting things I know are lies."  

Then he blatantly called me a "Luciferian Agent" and that I spread misinformation by sprinkling lies amongst the truth, which then opened the door to accuse me of "embezzlement through fraud."  He says that I'm a Luciferian because I'm kind, and not mean.

A voluntary donation or subscription payment to my website doesn't constitute embezzlement.

I'm not a Luciferian nor have I ever been one.

I'm not an infiltrator--I have, since day 1, simply been trying to figure out what all this is about, because it was completely new to me when I ran across it in October of 2020.

I'm not a funnel to anybody's anything anywhere, ever.

I published everything we emailed back and forth from June to September 2023.  I left nothing out.

David/Grey accused me of putting him in irreparable danger by publishing.  And yet, in the email compilation, he very clearly wrote that he WANTED ME to publish the emails and that HE thought it would be a good idea if he published them before I did.  Then, on TwitterX, he said "no way she publishes our actual conversation - I'll let her make the first move without context - then publish IT ALL to show how wrong she is and how bad of a liar."  Then he called me a "leech".

The day before that he wrote "Only a pompous arrogant luciferian would try to threaten posting conversations of themselves being called out."  So, now I'm a Luciferian not because I'm kind, but because I'm arrogant, and unashamed of what I wrote to him.  (I feel my eyes roll involuntarily with the inconsistencies of it all).

In an attempt to get him to understand I was serious about him stopping emailing me, I chose the word "contract" to ask him to cease and desist or I would publish our email exchange.  I thought he was smart enough to take the hint and stop the emails.  He wasn't, and didn't.  Little did I know that the word contract is used frequently in the Luciferian brotherhood.  I had no idea then.  It's come out more recently with the numerous contracts with demons exposé by Jessie Czebotar.  In my regular life, people of all persuasions use that word; it's pretty ubiquitous.  But, he took that word usage of mine and used it against me time and time again on TwitterX.  If I had it to do over I would have chosen a different word or blocked the creep a lot sooner.

I wasn't the only one David Hall aka Grey Area Monarch has trashed.  He went after Cathy Fox, and then Tom Althouse and before all of us he'd gone after Jessie Czebotar and a few others.  Tom Althouse called Grey Area "David from Tennessee," which is one reason I'm confident Shurter has Grey Area's identity correct. 

Hall, according to Shurter, told him that he "didn't care if he was being investigated," so Shurter reported him to his Sheriff, and posted a few videos of him on YouTube.

I know for the most part, people don't like reading about the messy, dark, violent and evil side of the Brotherhood.  But this is a war, in my opinion.  And if we're ignorant of the enemy's devices and his people, it's a trap waiting to ensnare us.

I don't know if Emma Katherine Pietrzak is a legal spouse of David Hall, or not.  I don't know if Shurter was correct about that.  It's been bandied around TwitterX a bit.  Also bandied is that they are engaged, and still others say that they don't even live near each other and the lovey-dovey stuff is fake.  In her comment on David Shurter's YouTube video, she didn't address her relationship with David Hall... or lack thereof.  It was a weird subject to avoid, considering that he was pretty much the focus of the whole video.

Steven D Kelley called out the Imagination Podcast as a Cointel operation.  Cointel is short for Counterintelligence.  Basically CIA or FBI level stuff.

I'm working on a timeline that is interesting, and involves major players.  I think I'll find that Grey's outburst to David Shurter also connects to Operation Clean Sweep, to Jessie Cebotar's brother's death and the preceding FBI harassment and death threats, to the blowup within the Satanic Temple leadership in May, and other interesting developments in the past 6 weeks or so.

My question is:  What "operation" is Grey Area Operator operating in?  Who's he working with?

How “odd”

I was doing homework with my youngest yesterday and we read “Rip Van Winkle” what struck me as “odd” was the mention of the Odd Fellows… they give him a magic potion and he sleeps for 20 years?! What is the true meaning of this story? 🤔

We on this site know about the Odd Fellow Masonic brotherhood. Why do they always teach our children about weird culty stuff?

I searched online trying to find a connection between the Odd Fellow Masons and rip van winkle and found this:

Strange indeed.

Episode 50: Veronica Swift is not a Satanist

Hello, Friends! Today, I would like to profess that Veronica Swift is not a Satanist. I think all of us here can attest to that, but the slander continues online. So, I thought we would discuss what a Satanist is, and what I have found Veronica to be.

 

Let’s start with the definition of a Satanist. Dictionary.com defines a Satanist as 1. A person who engages in any of a highly diverse group of religions, philosophical, or countercultural practices centered around Satan, either as a deity or nontheistic symbol of enlightenment, individualism, or ethical egoism. 2. A person who participated in a deliberate inversion of Christian rites in which Satan is worshiped. 3. Also, a satanist is a person with a diabolical or satanic disposition who engages in diabolical behavior, an evil person. Ok, so a Satanist is a person who engages in practices centered around Satan. A person who participates in an inversion of Christian rites, who worships Satan. Lastly, a Satanist is an evil person. The key principle of today’s acting Satanists is “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.” To me, Veronica is none of those things. In fact, Veronica has only ever inspired me to follow Christ MORE!

 

5 years ago, when I came across Veronica’s Mother of Darkens post. I did not take her tone as evil or inverting Christ. I did not even read the tone of the agenda. What I read was a clearly organized thought, supported by references and research. I was so impressed by the article that God prompted me to email her and offer my support. I have never reached out to a stranger online like this before, and I have not really reached out to any other authors like this since. In starting my journey, I have made friends along the way, like Cathy Fox, but Veronica was out of the blue, and I believe divinely inspired by God.

 

When I started my friendship with Veronica, we made our little Locals page, and we shared articles back and forth, or clips of books we found interesting. She had an idea that maybe I could read her blog posts and share videos on YouTube. When we tried, it was blazingly clear that I had zero self-confidence and stumbled through the video, my voice shaking and my body tense. I think we scraped the idea pretty quickly. I became the welcome committee on the Locals page and joined in commenting, sharing her articles, and making others feel comfortable on our little corner of the internet. I was Veronica’s cheerleader, and that fit me much more than her “voice” online. At this part of the story, I ask you, did she persuade me to become an evil mouthpiece, or did she just ask me to help spread her thoughtful research?

 

During our friendship, we often shared broken pieces of ourselves and ALWAYS looked towards Jesus Christ for our healing and our strength. In identifying my self-esteem issues, Veronica helped me seek the Lord for my voice. Together, we came up with the idea of me posting weekly articles, and I thought of the idea of Testimony Tuesday articles. Now, would a Satanist want me to glorify Christ weekly by sharing people’s transformations in Christ and by being open with my own healing Journy in Christ? I think not.

 

After pouring my heart out in my Testimony Tuesday stories, she offered that I should do this Clifton Strengths quiz to help identify my strengths. I really liked this idea as it didn’t just harp on my weaknesses but instead helped me look at all the good qualities I already had inside and helped cultivate my growth. Once I took my quiz, she linked me up with a coach to go over all my strengths and really help me dig in. Why would a Satanist want to continue to build me up and not sway me towards wickedness by now? It really seems that God ordained our friendship so we could help heal each other and lift each other up when we fall. Not once did she force me, coerce me, threaten me, or gaslight me into thinking her way or manipulate me into being her ‘servant.’ She was my friend who loved me and supported me while I broke out of the chains of bondage.

 

To me, a Christian is a person who admits their sins and tries to do their best every day. They love Jesus Christ, and they acknowledge his death and resurrection. They lift their friends up in prayer, help their friends with healthy accountability, and walk side by side in the Spiritual battle. Veronica has been all these things and so much more to me. Meeting her was the start of my healing journey. Together, we solidified my becoming an active player on the battlefield instead of a passive player. My voice was already made for much more; I just needed a friend to believe in me.

 

I will continue to be Veronica’s friend and supporter. There are so many evil players on the battlefield. It's time we unite and strengthen our swords in Jesus’ name. Even Jesus was here to take up his sword against the enemy. Matthew 10:34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.”  Take up your cross and take up your swords! We are at the endgame, pick up your weapons and FIGHT! God bless you, my friends and soldiers. I will see you on the battlefield, standing alongside Veronica Swift. <3 Ally.

Episode 49: God the Redeemer

Hello, my friends! Welcome back to this episode of Testimony Tuesday! Today, I want to honor God by sharing how he is redeeming and restoring me day by day. Isaiah 41:14 …I am the one who helps you, declares the Lord; your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

 

This past week was Spring Break for my area in Florida. I have worked a few Saturdays to stack up my PTO and took the week off with my kids. This was my first time really getting a chance to break away and spend one-on-one time with them. I got us a nice hotel room with a beautiful view, and the hotel had an on-site water park! It was the coldest day of the week when we went, but the boys got in the water, and we had such a fun time.

 

My mom made the trip out for the water park day, and it was a slow, leisurely day spent with her. My heart was so full! I remember when she took us to places like that when I was little, and it was a full-circle moment that I was able to take her with us and share new memories with my children. Sometimes I am so sad about our relationship, and maybe I need to manage my expectations of her better. This was the FIRST time in my life that I had peace, no anxiety to go to the park, no snapping at my kids or my mom, I was just totally in the moment, basking in the sun, and thanking God for his restoration.

 

I can remember when I was in active addiction, I would always beat myself up about missing events with my family or making things so bitter it was unenjoyable. I spoke about this feeling during my coaching sessions, and my coach told me, "God is the restorer, the redeemer, and he will give you back what you lost 10-fold." You know, I never expected or wanted that from God; I just wanted to be a healthier version of myself. But God is so good! God has been giving me so much more in my life, in every interaction, in every fellowship, in every breath that I take, and I will spend the rest of my life praising his good name. 

 

I am having a challenging time with my youngest son, and life will look a little different for him the rest of his life. But I told him, "Thank you for being you! You get to teach me how to be a better Mom," and I mean that! Yesterday, he shut down at school, and when I picked him up, he looked defeated. The first thing I did was ask him to tell me all about it so I could understand him. Then I told him he did a good job, and tomorrow we get to try again!

 

I told him to talk to God when he is having a hard time at school, and he told me he didn't want to bother God with that stuff. I told him, "Please bother God!" God wants us in our happy, in our sad, and he loves the oppertunity to be with us no matter the situation. I told my son, count your blessings when you are feeling like things are hard, and God will help change your day. We were counting them together, and my son said, "God, thank you for the hot food we get to eat when my Mom makes me a plate," And I KNEW God was with us, working on my son's heart.

 

Miracle after miracle, God is working hard in my life. And every day my life is a Testimony to him. His story is my story as he moves and works through me. What an amazing life I am having with God in the driver's seat! I love you guys. I am honored to share my life with you, to give you hope and faith when you are running low! Thanks for coming along with me on my journey. May God bless you this week! <3 Ally.

Testimony Tuesday
Episode 48: "A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown"
Hello, my friends!! This past week, I went and took a trip to see my paternal grandparents. It has been about 10 years. No one in my family can understand why I've pulled away from everyone, and I am borderline reclusive. I believe that God has kept me hidden and in isolation while he has been refining me. However, mostly, my family takes it to heart. God speaks to me all the time, and in this case, it was during my Bible reading that something struck me deeply. Mark 6:4 "Then Jesus told them, 'A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.’
 
 
Ahhhh.... I got you, Lord! I'm experiencing a great deal of turmoil with my family. I am often called a Hypocrite, or how I should be doing this as a Christian or that as a follower... and there is so much noise coming from their opinions of me, that it is so hard to be myself. I get so much positive feedback from all over the world on these little posts I share, that it baffles me how my family can't see me the way you guys do. And then I read that verse! I can proclaim the coming of Jesus and his good works all over the world, but my family and hometown will never honor me in that way.
 
 
Again, I am working through some bitter expectations that I have with my Mom, and the feeling of always being second place or bottom position on her totum pole. And I am trying so hard to honor her and her life and let my feelings of disappointment fade at the foot of the cross. But My God! It is a hard thing to do! I also read this verse, Mark 7:10: "For instance, Moses gave you this law from God: ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death." And here I am lamenting about my parents... should I be put to death?!
 
 
Boy, life sure is hard. You think you are doing right, just to be told you are doing wrong. No wonder Jesus had to die for us, because there just is no way we would ever get everything right 100%. For me, I know God judges my heart, and my heart is longing to be with him and to please him. I cried when I read the crucifixion story, and told God, "I'm so sorry," as I fell asleep. He knows me, and he calls me his, and I guess I need to just let go of the expectations of my Earthly parents and seek him for all of my love and confirmation.
 
 
Keep seeking the Kingdom of Heaven, my friends! Keep aiming to please the Lord, our God. That is the only thing we can do. He will confirm when we are right and correct us when we are wrong. And every day he will show his love to us. In the face of our laughing children, in the wings of a passing butterfly, in the kiss of the sun setting on the horizon. God loves us, I love him, and I love you so much too. Pick up your cross today, and follow Jesus! Amen!!
