The Trial of the Devil Incarnate

It's a fact...

Between 2001 and 2004, Ralph Eugene Reed, Jr., the former Executive Director of the Christian Coalition, and his two close confederates, Jack Abramoff and Michael Scanlon, committed multiple crimes, including conspiracy to commit bribery, mail and wire fraud, and money laundering. Together, they bilked a handful of Indian Tribes out of over 90 million dollars. 

Ralph Reed became rich in the process. 

In September 2004, Jack Abramoff and Michael Scanlon were called to testify before a Senate Committee On Indian Affairs headed by Senator John McCain. The "Gimme Five" scandal hearings resulted in indictments and prison sentences for Abramoff, Scanlon, and several others involved in the scandal. However, despite irrefutable proof of his involvement, Ralph Reed was never called to testify and was never held accountable for his crimes. Until now.

'The Trial of the Devil Incarnate:  Ralph Reed – God's 'Flim-Flam' Man,' may be the next best thing to having had Ralph Reed appear, in the flesh and under oath, before the Senate's Committee on Indian Affairs back in 2004. The what-should-have-been 'trial' takes place in Room 216 of the US Capitol's Hart Senate Office Building, the site of the original Senate investigative hearings. The book is written as a transcript of the hearing proceedings. It presents the irrefutable facts of Ralph Reed's illicit activities, revealed during his  'appearance' before a fictional Senate Investigative Committee. 

But the book doesn't stop there. As the Senators question Ralph Reed 'under oath,' their probing uncovers a myriad of his other scandalous, immoral, and often flat-out illegal activities, beginning with his years as the Executive Director of Pat Robertson's controversial Christian Coalition. This revelatory 'questioning' paints an indelible panorama of Ralph Reed's chronic and obsessive duplicity. It reveals his blatant disregard for the law, his unabashed hypocrisy, and the plethora of flat-out lies and manufactured propaganda he has exploited over the past three decades to support his bank account through flimflammery and deceit. 

The 'Trial'  is backed by hundreds of pieces of actual evidence, gleaned from Ralph Reed's emails, documents, and personal statements. The depth and scope of his blatant duplicity and crimes are beyond comprehension. 

And it was all done in the name of Jesus. 

Perhaps the Apostle Paul said it best. "For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself, masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve."

Once you read "The Trial of the Devil Incarnate," you will most assuredly ask yourself, "Why isn't Ralph Reed in prison?" 

David Wilcox was born and raised in Oceanside, California, a sleepy, little beach community between Los Angeles and San Diego. After graduating from California State University at Fullerton with a bachelor’s degree in Communication, he worked as a Police Officer for the City of Oceanside. After sustaining a career-ending injury while on duty, he retired medically as one of the most highly decorated officers in the department’s history. He was even awarded the nation’s highest civilian lifesaving award from the United States Coast Guard Commandant. Later, his law enforcement experience would be a critical factor in his being recruited as an executive protection bodyguard for televangelist Pat Robertson,  the controversial 700 Club television show host and the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) founder, and the controversial Christian Coalition. 

In 1988, he earned his fifth college degree, graduating magna cum laude from Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and earning a master’s degree in Communication. He was awarded the Outstanding Communication Student Award for that year. One of his student films, “If Your Eye Offendz Thee,” was awarded a Student Academy Award for animation. A segment from that project recently appeared in the 2022 Academy Award-winning feature film “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” produced by Searchlight Pictures. During his graduate studies, David began work as an executive protection officer (aka bodyguard) for Pat Robertson. Pat Robertson eventually asked him to become the Director of Security for the Christian Broadcasting Network. As a result, David knew Ralph Reed and witnessed the novitiate Executive Director of Pat Robertson’s Christian Coalition in action. He was not impressed with the ‘smarmy’ and “unctuous” Mr. Reed.

David also was the founding force behind CBN Animation, the in-house animation production division of the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN). Through CBN Animation, he wrote, produced, directed, and even animated various projects ranging from one-minute commercials to one-hour animated programs developed in conjunction with the Yilimei Animation Studios in Shanghai, China. His commercial broadcast production experience is also vast and varied, ranging from thirty-second spots to hour-long specials. After leaving CBN, he flourished in advertising sales and marketing as a Major Account Representative for a Fortune 5 Company. 

A prolific writer, he has penned several screenplays, scripts, and a sitcom pilot. His two books are “Protecting Pat Robertson – Confessions of a High-Priced Bagman” and the recently completed “The Trial of the Devil Incarnate: Ralph Reed – God’s ‘Flim-Flam’ Man,” the book upon which this documentary will be based.

Through this narrative memoir, David creatively exposes the scandalous truth about Ralph Reed’s duplicitous career, beginning with his years as the Executive Director of the Christian Coalition and continuing to this very day through his uber-conservative, but just as duplicitous, Faith and Freedom Coalition. This revelatory work paints an indelible panorama of Ralph Reed's chronic and obsessive duplicity and deception. It reveals his blatant disregard for the law, his unabashed hypocrisy, and the plethora of flat-out lies and manufactured propaganda he has exploited over the past three decades to support his bank account through flimflammery and deceit.
