End Corruption in Harnett County, Alexandria, VA (2026)

01/30/2026

People often tell me that Governor Josh Stein or NC Department of Justice and Attorney General's Office, is “not responsible” for what happened to me….

I am not saying they personally committed the harm against me. What I am saying is that they are responsible for accountability and oversight when harm is reported and lower levels fail.

Here’s an analogy, because this really isn’t complicated….

If a child is hurt in a classroom, the child goes to the teacher. If the teacher ignores it, protects the wrong people, or covers it up, the child goes to the principal. If the principal ignores it, the responsibility escalates to the district. That higher level exists for one reason: to intervene when the system below it fails. That is how checks and balances are supposed to work.

In my case, I went to the “teacher” level first, local officials and local oversight. When that failed, I went to the “principal” level, state oversight. And when that failed, I went higher because that is the purpose of having an Attorney General and a Governor.

Now let’s talk about systems, because this is where people keep trying to deflect responsibility. The Governor and Attorney General are responsible for ensuring that state systems meant to protect the public actually function.

They are responsible for not only investigating Harnett County’s crimes but also the North Carolina State Bar which has refused to hold attorney J. Dupree of Greenville accountable despite allegations and evidence of sexual misconduct against me. Also, NC Conference of District Attorneys where my prosecutor, Amber Barwick, who worked closely with then Attorney General Josh Stein on the r**e kit initiative, was responsible for misconduct in my case, including misleading statements to judges, unethical practices, and actions that directly contributed to my imprisonment.

And now, during my appeal, the truth is plainly visible in the record to exonerate me yet the Attorney General’s Office under Jeff Jackson continues to prolong and ignore it.

These are not abstract systems. They are real offices, with real authority, harming real people.

So when people tell me, “Don’t blame one man, blame the system,” understand this: I agree the system failed but systems do not operate on their own. People with power do.

Oversight leadership is responsible when:
misconduct is reported and ignored, regulatory bodies refuse to act, prosecutors violate ethical obligations and victims are retraumatized through silence and inaction.

Now, to those who support Josh Stein or Attorney General Jeff Jackson because you believe they are good men and good leaders, let me ask you something honestly…

If you believe in them, then why are victims being ignored? Why am I being ignored?
Why are others being ignored? Do good men ignore victims of crime? Do good men allow victims to remain trapped in trauma by refusing to act? Do good men look away when the truth is clearly visible in the record?

Just because someone appears to be a good leader publicly does not mean you know what decisions are being made behind closed doors or who those decisions protect. Public image and private conduct are not the same thing. History has proven that repeatedly.

When victims are denied accountability and justice because power, donors, or professional relationships matter more than truth, it becomes no different than other powerful networks we’ve seen, nationally and locally where victims were ignored for years while leaders stayed silent.

I am not asking anyone to blindly take my side. I am asking people to stop pretending that leadership has no responsibility once harm is reported.

Teacher. Principal. District.
Local.State.Top.

That is how accountability is supposed to work and when it doesn’t, the harm doesn’t end — it multiplies.

I want to take some time to explain why the newly released video of Alex Pretti raises concerns and why questioning it is not only reasonable, but necessary.

Why I have said in my previous post that there are multiple red flags that make it appear manipulated and warrant skepticism. Let me go more in detail.

First, there are visual inconsistencies: Alex is in identical clothing across multiple clips being presented as separate moments. The vehicle details change and disappear, including the logo that fade in and out, a common issue with heavy editing, compression and synthetic rendering. The taillight damage does not behave the way real-world damage typically does when slowed down and examined frame by frame. The video quality shows signs of re-encoding, cropping, and alteration, which makes it unreliable as standalone evidence.

Second, there is the context problem: Clips are being reposted, edited, and reframed with captions designed to push a narrative rather than inform. When videos circulate without original files, timestamps, or full context, they become tools of perception management, not truth.

Third, I want to address the fact that Alex’s parents have said they believe it is him. That reaction is understandable. They are seeing an image of someone who looks like their son during an overwhelming time. Many people, especially older generations are not familiar with how advanced deepfake and synthetic media technology has become, or how easily videos can be manipulated today.

Psychologically, when we are shown an image that resembles someone we love, the brain fills in the gaps. Stress, fear, grief, and shock all reduce our ability to critically analyze visual inconsistencies. That does not make them dishonest, it makes them human.
Emotional recognition is not the same as technical verification.

This is exactly why manipulated media is so dangerous. It doesn’t just mislead the public, it confuses families, retraumatizes loved ones, and creates doubt about what is real.

On the flip side, we have seen this happen at the highest levels. There have been convincing deepfakes of President Trump that millions of people initially believed , including fake arrest images and AI-generated videos framed as legitimate news announcements. People shared them because they looked real. That’s the point.

Alex deserves the truth, not a smear campaign driven by viral distortion.
Accountability must be based on verified originals, context, and facts, not manipulated visuals designed to inflame emotion.

Slow down. Question what you’re seeing.
And remember: if something is being pushed hard to make you react, that alone is a reason to pause.

Truth matters.

To everyone commenting, whether you support Alex or disagree, I genuinely thank you for sharing your views respectfully. Civil discourse without name calling or trash talk is rare these days, and it matters more than people realize.

I did not support the way Charlie Kirk was mocked and belittled, and I don’t support it being done to Alex Pretti either. If we only defend dignity when it applies to people we agree with, then our values are hollow.

We have to be better than our politics, better than tribal outrage, and better than tearing people down to score points. Accountability and humanity are not opposites, they require each other.

Update… I don’t take being lied to lightly, and trust no one so I do my own research. I went and watched detailed YouTube breakdowns of what’s actually behind the taillights of both a Ford Explorer and a Ford Expedition, and what’s shown in this video does not match what’s being put out there. See photos.

—————————Previously posted.

I knew this video of Alex Pretti was a deepfake and a disturbingly convincing one. I pointed out to several people that he’s wearing the exact same clothing in both videos, supposedly different days, which immediately raised red flags for me.

After taking a closer look, others also noticed clear technical giveaways: the vehicle logo disappears, and there are no screw holes where the light should be. Those details don’t just happen.

This newest video circulating is not real.

Governor Josh Stein when he was NC Department of Justice and Attorney General's Office, was bought off by a Harnett County Attorney not to investigate all the crimes within Harnett County.

I need to be honest and hold myself accountable.

I did not fact check this post before sharing it, and that was wrong. The screen shot is not real.

I’m choosing to leave it up on purpose, not to spread misinformation, but to show how easy it is to be manipulated, how quickly false narratives spread, and how even people who care deeply about truth can be pulled into sharing something that sounds believable.

This is exactly how misinformation works. It relies on emotion, outrage, and speed, not verification. If this can happen to me, it can happen to anyone. That’s the point I want people to see. Learn from it, question everything to include what I post.

Accountability matters.

This isn’t leadership, it’s delusion wrapped in a threat. Declaring your spouse’s movie “foundational American history” and threatening to strip universities of funding if they don’t comply is authoritarian nonsense.

Education is not a vanity project. Federal funding is not a loyalty reward. America is not a monarchy where one man decides curriculum by ego and all-caps tantrums.

This isn’t “culture” or “respect.” It’s coercion, abuse of power, and proof that you’ve completely lost touch with reality.

The most unbelievable part isn’t the movie, it’s that anyone still pretends this behavior is normal and excusable.

I didn’t choose this fight. I was pulled into it the moment truth became inconvenient.

I’ve learned that “us vs them” is a story told to keep people small, while real harm hides behind closed doors and official titles.

I’ve watched power close ranks. I’ve felt silence used as a weapon. I’ve learned how easily a voice can be labeled dangerous when it refuses to disappear.

This isn’t about parties. It’s about people who speak and are punished for it. About systems that protect themselves before they protect the human beings inside them.

I still believe in empathy, even after everything, especially after everything. Freedom isn’t a banner or a celebration, it’s the quiet assurance that telling the truth won’t cost you your life, your safety, or your sanity.

I speak not because I want to, but because I know what happens when no one does. We the People… not perfect, not finished, but still worth defending.

Perfectly explained.

An ICE officer threatening a citizen by saying “if you raise your voice, I’ll erase your voice” is not law enforcement — it’s intimidation.

That is not de-escalation. That is not public safety. That is a threat meant to silence, dominate, and instill fear.

In America, citizens do not lose their right to speak because an officer feels challenged. Raising your voice is not a crime. Questioning authority is not a crime. Existing in public is not consent to be threatened.

When agents of the state talk about “erasing” someone’s voice, they are telling us exactly how they view the people they are supposed to serve — not as humans with rights, but as problems to be controlled.

This is how authoritarianism starts: First they intimidate. Then they normalize it. Then they expect silence.

This is exactly why they have no respect.

Same Tactic… Different Targets…. Same Damage.

This is not coincidence, It’s a pattern.

Mr. Dawson was killed by a Harnett County Deputy. The public was told officers begged him to drop his gun. There was no gun, only a black cordless house phone.

The lie came fast. The smear followed. Once the story was set, his name was quietly destroyed to justify what could not be justified.

Now look at what’s happening to Alex Pretti.
The goal isn’t truth, it’s credibility erosion. If the public doubts him, they never have to confront what truly took place.

And then there’s me.

When I supported a candidate running against the sitting sheriff, a federally protected activity, the response wasn’t debate. It wasn’t disagreement. It was retaliation.

A false report was filed claiming I was stalking the sheriff. My name was smeared in the paper. I was criminalized, not because I broke the law, but because I challenged power.

Three people. Three different circumstances.
One identical tactic…. Smear to Control.
This is how systems lie without having to convince everyone. They don’t need the public to fully believe the story.
They only need the public to hesitate. “Well, law enforcement says…” “There must be more to it…” “I don’t know who to believe…”
That hesitation is enough.

What This Does to the Public, It conditions silence. The public watches what happens to people who speak up: a man is killed and posthumously labeled a threat, an activist is portrayed as the problem, a woman exercising her rights is criminalized.

The lesson becomes unspoken but clear:
Don’t be next. It redirects attention away from power. Instead of asking: Was this lawful? Was this justified? Who is abusing authority? People are nudged to ask: What kind of person was he? Why is she so outspoken? Isn’t he controversial?

Character replaces conduct and accountability disappears. It normalizes dishonesty. When lies face no consequences, the public becomes desensitized. Outrage fades. Truth becomes murky. Abuse becomes background noise. That’s how systems rot quietly.

What This Does to Victims..

It reverses reality. Victims are forced to defend themselves against lies instead of being heard for the harm done to them. The burden shifts from the institution to the individual. It isolates. Friends go quiet. Supporters step back. People are afraid to be associated with someone the system has labeled “problematic.” It destroys credibility before truth can surface.

Once a smear is out there: evidence is doubted, emotion is weaponized against the victim, silence is framed as guilt, speaking up is framed as obsession. There is no safe response.

It re-traumatizes. Being harmed is devastating. Being publicly misrepresented, criminalized, or erased to protect power is a second injury, often worse than the first.

This tactic isn’t just about Mr. Dawson, Alex Pretti, or me. It’s about what kind of society we accept. If they can convince the public a phone was a gun, they can convince you a truth-teller is dangerous, and they can convince you to look away next time.

This is how injustice survives: by smearing individuals, by exhausting victims, by teaching the public that silence is safer than truth

Different names, same playbook.

Roy Cooper talks about constitutional rights, accountability, and believing what we see with our own eyes.

But when I was begging for help, when I brought evidence, documentation, and years of proof that I was being targeted, criminalized, and silenced by the very system he once ran, he ignored me.

Not a call. Not a response. Not even an acknowledgment. Silence from leadership is not neutral, It is complicity.

You don’t get to lecture the public about justice while turning your back on an American citizen asking for protection from government abuse.

If constitutional rights only matter when they’re politically convenient, then this isn’t leadership it’s selective outrage.

Accountability doesn’t get to be situational and silence doesn’t make you innocent.
