Kai returns to the podcast to speak on a very serious subject, his biological father has been making international headlines on formal charges of horrific sex abuse.   The disabled community is especially targeted by predators.  We explore how predators are able to get away with abuse for so long, in particular, how Kai's biological father #PeterNygard was able to conceal his crimes with the help of his enablers, deception and jurisdiction loopholes.  

We explore how Kai's father became his #archnemesis , what the key moment was for Kai that sparked a series of events that resulted in Peter Nygard's arrest.  Why Kai considers Rape to be a "Special Kind of Evil" and how Kai's humble upbringing with his Mother and how Kai's adopted father who really raised Kai, was Civil Rights Icon #BillyFrankJr. We also introduce why Kai changed his name from Kai Bickle Nygard to Kai Zen Bickle, honoring his mother

If you are the survivor of a crime by Peter Nygard or if you can identify enablers of his who covered up his crims in the USA, pls call 1800CALLFBI and reference the case

If you would like to contact the civil attorneys in this case:
