Marx’s All Things Possible Florida model uses private funds for cop pay and surveillance tools without public oversight.

The All Things Possible ministry (ATP) is an unusual, and critics say potentially dangerous, operation. In the last year, it has funded surveillance equipment and salaries for out-of-state law enforcement agencies, hired a range of private security and intelligence contractors, and is connected to a network of other self-appointed sex-trafficking rescue groups whose leading figures have attracted significant controversy. Its founder is Victor Marx, the Republican gubernatorial nominee who was chair and president of ATP until his campaign began last October.

Campaign Overlap

Since the start of his campaign, Marx’s ministry and political organization have overlapped. The man running Marx’s campaign, former US army intelligence operative Harry “Buddy” Jericho, has been central to ATP’s effort to merge its raid-and-rescue ministry with law enforcement agencies in Florida. The ministry’s website states its mission is to set sex-trafficked women and children free “Spiritually, Emotionally, & Physically,” claiming to have operated in some of “the most menacing places on earth” since 2003, including Afghanistan, Cambodia, Iraq, Nigeria, and the West Bank.

According to Marx’s 2024 memoir, rescue missions have often involved assembling paramilitary teams in foreign countries. Since 2021, the ministry has increasingly adopted a domestic model, first with “Skull Games” events where “Special Forces (SF) intelligence operators or those equally qualified work alone or in teams” to crowdsource intelligence on alleged victims and offenders to pass on to police. It has now begun directly funding out-of-state law enforcement agencies.

Financial Ties

Tax and electoral filings reveal that Jericho has earned hundreds of thousands of dollars as Marx’s campaign manager, as a paid director of ATP, and as chief executive of an intelligence company that the charity paid over $100,000 in a single year. If elected governor, Marx would have authority over Colorado’s large state police force. In Florida, his charity is already running a controversial model of policing funded by private donations from anonymous benefactors, which pay officer salaries and surveillance equipment without any public oversight.
