The QAnon believer who allegedly decapitated his dad, showing off the federal employee’s severed head in an online video, had earlier waged an unhinged legal battle against the government over his student loans — claiming he should have been warned he still wouldn’t be able to get a job because he was
an “overeducated white man.” Justin Mohn, 33, was taken into custody Tuesday night on suspicion of first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse and possessing an instrument of crime with intent in the killing of his 68-year-old father, Michael Mohn. The arrest came after he allegedly held up his...

To get a sense of why conspiracy theories centered on sex trafficking and pedophilia — and now the “Epstein list” — are so buzzy in MAGA circles, POLITICO Magazine called up Mike Rothschild, author of The Storm Is Upon Us: How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything and
Jewish Space Lasers: The Rothschilds and 200 Years of Conspiracy Theories. Rothschild pointed to a toxic stew of age-old antisemitism; the worst incentives of today’s social media; and the right’s unending obsession with Bill and Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump pops up in the documents, including some released on...

Sound of Freedom thunders past $100M at the box office and edges out Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible on Wednesday - despite being dismissed as QAnon conspiracy fodder

| July 21, 2023 | Keith Griffith
Ahead of the opening weekend for Oppenheimer and Barbie, independent film Sound of Freedom has cemented its status as a surprise summer hit after surging past $100 million at the box office. Since
its July 4 release date, the Angel Studios thriller about child sex trafficking has upended industry expectations, raking in nearly seven times its $14.5 million budget in North American ticket sales. Last weekend, it comfortably outpaced pricey blockbusters like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, and on Wednesday it edged past Tom Cruise's new Mission: Impossible installment in single-day ticket sales. But in a country...

Surprise blockbuster ‘Sound of Freedom’ echoes antisemitic QAnon conspiracies

JTA ^
While “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” have hogged the headlines, an unlikelier blockbuster swept the box office this month: “Sound of Freedom,” a thriller lauded by QAnon conspiracy theorists and high-profile Republicans. It also draws from a conspiratorial well that includes a number of anti-Jewish canards, including the “blood libel” accusation, while its star,
actor Jim Cavaziel, has floated antisemitic theories in interviews promoting the film. Despite the film’s low budget and independent distributor, “Sound of Freedom” has made over $100 million in its first few weeks, going toe-to-toe with “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” since it opened on July...

QAnon supporters are promoting 'Sound of Freedom.' Here's why
|
| |
NPR ^
Caviezel, who previously played Jesus Christ in Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, is also drawing attention to the film in other ways. For
years, he's been a prominent promoter of the false, violent QAnon conspiracy theory — specifically, the baseless claim that an international cabal of elites is abusing and killing children to extract a substance called adrenochrome. These wild claims have become deeply enmeshed with narratives about child trafficking in recent years, from the QAnon predecessor Pizzagate conspiracy theory, which falsely alleged a pizza parlor in Washington, D.C., was home to a child sex ring, to false...

Sound of Freedom: the QAnon-adjacent thriller seducing America

| July 6, 2023 | Charles Bramesco
"However one chooses to slice it, Sound of Freedom has over-delivered on expectations in dollars and cents, a feat of profitability uncommon for a comparatively low-budget production without a major Hollywood-led promotional campaign. Judging
by the robust round of applause that concluded the fully-seated screening I attended on Wednesday evening – and this, in the liberal Sodom of Manhattan! – it would seem that the folks at the two-year-old Angel Studios have tapped into a substantial and eagerly marshaled viewership. Following that money leads back to a more unsavory network of astroturfed boosterism among the far-right fringe, a constellation of...

going to expose these QAnon followers who keep pretending child sex trafficking is a very real and prevalent problem," reported CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. "Those monsters."

CBS, nearly a decade ago, did a segment on Tim Ballard, now film on child trafficking ‘is QAnon’

American Wire News ^
| 7/10/23 | Melissa Fine
If you listen to the mainstream media, “The Sound of Freedom,” a film about the horrors of child sex trafficking, is nothing more than a paranoid, far-right, “QAnon-adjacent” conspiracy theory — a “fantasy” dreamt up by transphobic extremists and starring a cast of “bigots.” The
movie, which decimated Disney’s “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” over the Fourth of July weekend, is based on the true life story of Tim Ballard, a former DHS agent — played by actor Jim Caviezel — who dedicates his life to rescuing children from the clutches of pedophiles who would enslave them.

Courtesy of Angel Studios I haven’t even seen Sound of Freedom yet, but I’m already convinced I need to based on the absolute hysteria emanating from the left.As I reported yesterday, The Guardian set off the parade of stupidity by tying the movie, which is based on a true story, to QAnon.
Does the movie mention QAnon, Hillary Clinton, Pizzagate, or anything of the sort? Not even a little bit. Rather, it’s just a story about saving a girl from human traffickers in South America.Admittedly, I severely underestimated how triggering that would be for some people, and now a reviewer...

QAnon 2.0?

American Thinker ^
| 16 May, 2023 | Douglas Schwartz
Many have concluded QAnon was a Deep State intelligence operation to lull Trump supporters into complacency in the runup to the 2020 election and to provide a new pejorative term for the Left to use against the Right. The timing of the rise and abandonment of QAnon postings adds credence to this
belief. “Trust the plan” was a component of a sophisticated strategy (concocted far earlier than almost anyone now realizes) to ensure Trump’s 2020 defeat. This strategy included the placement of the fake DNC and RNC J6 pipe bombs, the 51 intelligence professionals swearing to the Russian provenance of...
