Camden County Commissioner Ike Skelton Takes a Stand Against Surveillance and Tyranny

If you’ve been listening to me for any length of time, you know I’ve been warning about Agenda 21, Agenda 2030, and the creeping surveillance state since the early ‘90s. I’ve talked about 15-minute cities, the World Economic Forum, and how the government wants to track your every move—your license plate, your car, even the bumper stickers you slap on the back. Well, now we’ve got a man in Camden County, Missouri, who’s not just talking about it—he’s doing something about it. His name is Ike Skelton, and he’s the presiding county commissioner at Lake of the Ozarks. I had the privilege of sitting down with him for an exclusive interview, and let me tell you, this story is going to get legs.

Ike Skelton isn’t just some guy who stumbled into politics. He’s a former locksmith who gave up a lucrative business to serve full-time as a commissioner because he’s passionate about freedom. He’s been sounding the alarm on globalist agendas like Agenda 21 for over a decade on local radio, and when the people of Camden County elected him, they knew exactly what they were getting—a fighter. And fight he has.

Here’s the situation: Camden County recently found itself littered with automatic license plate readers, put up by the Flock Corporation in cahoots with the Missouri Department of Public Safety and the sheriff’s department. These aren’t just cameras snapping pictures of your plates. They archive everything—where you’ve been, where you’re going, the color of your car, even your bumper stickers. It’s a surveillance nightmare, and Ike saw it for what it is: a stepping stone to 15-minute cities and total government control. He told me, “I believe it’s the responsibility of every elected official at every level of government to interpose on behalf of their citizens against tyranny.” Amen to that.

So what did Ike do? He and the other two commissioners passed an ordinance banning these license plate readers in Camden County. They sent letters to Flock and the state, telling them to take the cameras down. Nobody listened. The cameras stayed up. So Ike, true to his word and his oath to the Constitution—not to the state, not to his constituents, but to the Constitution—took matters into his own hands. He went out and removed one himself. That’s right, a county commissioner physically took down a surveillance camera because it violated the rights of the people he swore to protect.

Now, you’d think that’d be the end of it. The county passed a law, the commissioner enforced it—case closed. But no. The state of Missouri has charged Ike with a felony for removing the camera. A felony! They claim a county ordinance can’t override state authority, but Ike’s done his homework. He told me there’s no enabling language in Missouri law authorizing these cameras. They’re not even state property—they belong to Flock Corporation, a private company. And yet, the state’s coming after him. They haven’t arrested him yet, haven’t even served him papers. He found out about the charges through social media and CaseNet before the state bothered to tell him officially. That’s how they operate—smear you in the media first, due process later.

But here’s the kicker: Ike’s not backing down. He’s assembling a legal team, and he’s ready to mount “an incredibly vigorous defense” to “knock this thing out of the park.” He’s got local support, too. The people of Camden County elected him because they’re sick of government overreach, and he’s delivering on his promises. This isn’t Ike’s first rodeo, either. You might remember him from a few years back when Camden County became the first in Missouri to pass the Second Amendment Preservation Act, telling the ATF to pound sand when they tried to snoop around federal firearms license holders. Ike stood up then, and he’s standing up now.

This isn’t just about one camera or one county. This is about the future of freedom in America. Ike warned me, “If this thing gets put in nationwide—and I think it almost already is—the federal government will be able to track every single person everywhere you go 24 hours a day.” He’s right. These license plate readers are popping up everywhere, and it’s all part of the same playbook: control, surveillance, and the erosion of our God-given rights. Ike sees it, I see it, and if you’re paying attention, you see it too.

Camden County’s become a beacon of hope in all this. During COVID, when the rest of the country was locked down, masked up, and socially distanced into submission, Lake of the Ozarks said no thanks. They kept the bars open, the boats on the water, and the good times rolling. The national media mocked them—TMZ flew drones over the lake, calling them irresponsible hillbillies who’d spread death to St. Louis and Kansas City. What happened instead? Their usual 5 million visitors turned into 10 million that summer. People flocked to a place where freedom still meant something. Property values doubled, tripled even, because folks vacationed there, fell in love, and decided to stay.

I asked Ike if he thinks this story will inspire others. He hopes so. “Regardless of what happens with all of this,” he said, “I will continue to fight for our constitutional rights and attempt to get others to do the same thing.” That’s the kind of leadership we need— not just in Camden County, but across this nation.

So where does this go from here? Ike’s got a court date set for April 22nd, though he hasn’t been officially summoned yet. He’s looking for a top-notch constitutional attorney to take this fight to the next level, and he’s open to help from anyone who wants to join the cause. This could set a precedent for Missouri, maybe even the country. Will other counties follow Camden’s lead and push back against the surveillance state? I sure hope so.

Folks, I’ve been honored to bring you this story— one of the first national interviews Ike’s given on this. It’s a privilege to shine a light on patriots like him who are keeping their campaign promises and standing up to tyranny. But I can’t do it without you.
