The "video"

| Another day on 'secret' rides ...... now that's funny right there _________________________ |
Now .. I have to admit. I liked the soundtrack.. well, the whole one minute of it. Does one have to get permission for all that or pay royalties? I don't know.. I've never produced anything at that level, nor am I qualified.... just thinking out loud. One thing I expected and I wasn't disappointed; the opportunity once again was taken to hog a large time frame to show them-self.. talk .. and talk .. and ... at least I didn't have to see a Subaru or Mini or ... and I still don't get this one... a Smart car this time around. So, that's a positive. But my god ..... half the video? People that attended want to see the bikes.. the rides .. their friends. But their funds paid for a video that the 'producer' got to hog the time.

What did surprise me is ... after all the BS that has happened, was folks that are claimed to be 'haters' ... even had legal paperwork filed against them... made their way into the first few minutes. Now, was that on purpose to make a lil dig? Was it out of ignorance? Or ... a necessity to get the old footage in there, because the new footage wasn't adequate? Just... thinking out loud. Some of the ... umm...'haters' didn't want their pic on the events social media pages .. was this a dig to put them on the video? Funny stuff. Two people that supported the ride, but were then called THUGS .. even made it into the video. Finally .... knowing what I know, certain footage made it in there to give credibility when folks didn't attend or never attended, through fate or on purpose. When you know the back story, one can only ... shake their heads
Wonder how much that one cost? I mean the attendees paid for it. Should they be told how much it cost them? Never heard how much the previous five cost, so guess we'll never know the cost of this one. No biggee.. .just another expense, subtracted along with all the other expenses....
Guessing this is the last one we'll see. Too bad. What could have been.....

Keeping people in the dark prevents tough questions like "where is the money going" and "who is benefiting from our work and labor". Instead of addressing said questions, he turned on the people asking the questions and ostracizing them into quiet submission.
Pretty sad that anyone with basic computer skills can do their own investigation but they refuse to. A simple search on Minnesota's Attorney General Charity site will show you that there has been nothing filed for 2014 and 2015. In 2016, the charity reported $86,258 in direct public support, $-64,902 for other income for a total revenue of $21,356. It also reported that the amount spent for Program or Charitable Purposes was $31,341 for a total end of year deficit of $-9,985. But didn't he state publicly that the charity raised over $170,000 in 2016 alone?
But by not relaying that to his sheep, questions like "where did the money go" do not have to be answered. Crazy, I know...
