David Hall aka Grey Area Monarch
Has been exposed by David Shurter
June 25, 2024

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?

Testimony Tuesday short music video

Happy Testimony Tuesday, my friends! I’ve been sick these past few days with Bronchitis, so this week I thought I’d share a song we can all relate to.

Inspirational

So many people I know have been talking about intentional communities, and how people, especially survivors, need both independent living spaces and also places to gather in community. Like a tiny home community on land with a central meeting house/gathering space. I like how this one talks cost, which is something everybody wonders about who thinks along these lines.

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!!

Episode 47: Dont go numb!

Happy Testimony Tuesday my dear friends! Its been a little over a month since I've posted, but we made it through the Holidays! Whew 🥴. I have learned so much about myself and extreme emotions during this time. We assume the Holidays are the "most wonderful time of the year" but they also bring a lot of BIG FEELINGS to some of us.

 

Today marks 270 days alcohal free, 160 days Cigarette free, and let me go ahead and confess aloud, and 74 days THC free. The only thing I do now is a nicotine mouth pouch 2-3 times a day so not really that heavy there either. God is so good!! He has taken me from a filthy wretch and has refind me and cleaned me up so well, its unbelievable.

 

It hasnt been easy though. When I first quit my vices, there was a pure RAGE. I was so mad at everything. Noises, people, traffic, my kids, every little thing was setting me off. I know you all think I am a lovely peach, but my defualt emotion has always been anger. At work, I "mask" and come off sweet and positive and helpful. I often wonder is this the real me, or is the home the real me? The home is cranky, assertive, demanding and argumentative. Perhaps this is a learned behavior as my home life was never the safe place and work maybe was an escape for me. I dont know, Im still learning and a work in progress.

 

Going through the detox, I reached out to the life coach I was working with and he reminded me, this is the first time I am "feeling" my emotions. And you know what, he was right. I have been smoking and drinking since I was 14. Its aweful to say but the streets really raised me. You had to kind of be 'bad' to survive. If I would have felt everything I was actually going through, perhaps I wouldnt have survived. Thats God's kind of grace in my life. He allowed me those vices to survive, and then when it no longer served me, he took them away. I am the most physically and mentally healthy as I have ever been in my WHOLE LIFE.

 

Then I read how Jesus was offered something to 'numb his pain' during the cross, and he rejected it. He wanted to feel the suffering and be the perfect sacrifice. That really made me emotional to know our God, who was made flesh, FELT every pain we could go through and he chose to do so with Love. A true love for his children.

 

"The gospel of Mark describes what Jesus had to endure, “And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull). And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. And they crucified him and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take” (Mark 15:22-24 ESV throughout).

According to ancient Hebrew custom based on Proverbs 31:6-7, honorable women of Jerusalem would attend executions to provide support to the condemned. The women would administer them wine mixed with myrrh, or wine mixed with gall (Matthew 27:33-35) as a way to deaden or numb the senses from the pain of the cross. The mixture was also a natural sedative, putting those who took it to sleep.

Jesus refused to take it, “And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it” (Mark 15:23). Jesus refused because he wanted to experience every single moment appointed to him by the Father (Matthew 26:39) in order to remain the perfect sacrifice for sin (Ephesians 5:2)." -https://lookingtogod.org/2018/03/26/what-did-jesus-drink-while-dying-on-the-cross/

 

Isnt that such a perfect example on how we need to just feel this life and get through it?! 

 

After the inital detox and trying to feel my true emotions, I am learning to be gental with myself and notice my "small wins." The other day, I rewatched a movie from 10 years ago. I know I've seen it before but I didnt remember a lot of the story as I watched it. I thought to myself "this is probably the first time you have watched a movie without being drunk or high" and I smiled to myself on the couch. I was home alone, but I felt so close to God. I love Jesus/ God so much. I see him in little tiny details of my life daily. Its pretty intamate and incedible to be loved by God.

 

I hope you give yourself grace and gentleness this week, and lean into the arms of God. He loves you so much and I love you too!     💗 Ally.

Testimony Tuesday
Episode 46: Dreams

Hello, my friends! Welcome to this week's episode of Testimony Tuesday. This week, I had a really crazy dream. It got me thinking about the spirit realm and how we are communicated to within our dreams. For a long time, I didn't have any dreams because I was numb from drinking, and I would just pass out. Now, after having this dream, I'm not sure if it is a good or bad thing that I am having dreams again. Daniel 4:5 ESV "Helpful Not HelpfulI saw a dream that made me afraid. As I lay in bed, the fancies and the visions of my head alarmed me."

In my dream, it was almost like an anime cartoon, in which I was first introduced to friendly faces that turned into ominous spirits. At each interaction, the smiling faces would morph into deminoic smiles and challenge me. 

Do you remember this new "disorder" where people would see faces morph into Demon faces? It was just like that! https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2024/03/28/demon-face-syndrome-patient-victor-sharrah/73089955007/ Now of course they would classify this as a disorder rather that what it truly is: some of us can see the veil slipping.

Anyhow, what I can remember most is the last "boss" slamming her hand down and saying, "You are a gateway!" and then I woke up in a cold sweat. A gateway, what does that mean? And why are spirits attacking me in the spirit realm?! When I research the word Gateway, this is what it says: Gateways are similar to doorways, with the obvious difference being the gate that you open to pass through, rather than a door. You can also use this word in a figurative way, to mean "entrance," or "means of access."

A means of access?? Now this is interesting... access to what? Access to the Lord, our Father? Access to souls in the human realm? Oh, how my wheels are spinning. For a dream to stick with me all week, I think there is much more meaning behind this dream and what the spirits were trying to access. Luckily for me, the Lord goes before me and fights my battles. Deuteronomy 1:30 The LORD your God is going ahead of you. He will fight for you, just as you saw him do in Egypt.

Just as he did in Egypt! So many fallen beings, false gods, big personalities who thought they were most high. Of course, they want access to God, for they can no longer access him at all. What a privilege it is to serve Jesus Christ, God the most high, that I never have to worry about these beings trying to access him through me! 

Of course, I don't know if this is what the dream means, and I am just trying to tie the context together, as that is how the Lord built me to operate. All I do know is God wins. I want to challenge you all to be open to God speaking to us in our dreams, and on the same road, Demons will also try to influence or speak to us in our dreams. Be vigilant, my friends, and bring EVERYTHING to God who will tell you the truth behind the lies! 

Be blessed this week, my friends, and keep me in prayer, as I will keep you in mine!
