“Sound of Freedom” has been surprising the movie world this week, blowing away other movies at the box office, including things like the new Indiana Jones movie. But even though it’s based on a true story of a hero fighting child sex trafficking, the liberal media seems to be going out of its way to smear the movie and its star, actor Jim Caviezel, as “QAnon” related because it fights sex trafficking.
We saw this take from stories in the Guardian and Rolling Stone as well as other media outlets. In contrast, several outlets criticizing “Sound of Freedom” now defended the offensive movie “Cuties” that sexualized children.
But CNN took it even a step further during a discussion about the film between host Abby Phillip and Mike Rothschild, who has authored a book on QAnon. Phillip claimed that the movie and its star are “raising eyebrows among critics.” She said some think the movie “caters to QAnon conspiracy theorists,” although the distributor, Angel Studios, denies those accusations.
Then the pair attacked actor Jim Caviezel, saying he “embraced” QAnon terms and concepts.

They were forced to admit that sex trafficking was a real issue, but then they immediately attacked the movie over it, with Rothschild claiming the movie was “created out of moral panics.”
These films are created out of moral panics. They’re created out of bogus statistics. They’re created out of fear. And with something like Sound of Freedom, it specifically is looking at QAnon concepts of these child trafficking rings that are run by the high-level elites and only people like Tim Ballard and only people like Jim Caviezel, and by extension, only people like the ticket buyer can help bring these trafficking rings down. So, there’s a very participatory element. You’re not just going to see a movie, you’re just killing two hours on a hot day. You are helping bring down these pedophile rings and save children. Now, it’s not true, but it’s a very comforting and it’s a very warm feeling to have.
What a strange attack this is. Because QAnon is against child sex trafficking, that should make you not want to watch this movie? How dare you be concerned about child sex trafficking or simply like the movie? These characters want to paint people who view the movie as part of a “moral panic” or “bogus statistic.” And I don’t know about “moral panic” — I think most Americans take issue with child sex trafficking and would cheer the movie’s premise fighting it. So it seems to me the problem lies more with the people who are attacking it.
Maybe CNN should be checking its own house too?
Bad look CNN.

As Variety’s Owen Gleiberman explained:
“You needn’t hold extreme beliefs to experience ‘Sound of Freedom’ as a compelling movie that shines an authentic light on one of the crucial criminal horrors of our time, one that Hollywood has mostly shied away from… A closing title states — accurately — that there are more people enslaved now, by sex trafficking, than there were when slavery was legal.”
They seem to want to attack it for political reasons, which downplays the real issue. What they should be doing is asking what they can be doing to help stop this horrible abuse. So one has to ask why?
The media praised Cuties but criticizes the Sound Of Freedom. That should tell you everything you need to know.

You’re kidding me.
Sound of Freedom was literally BASED ON A TRUE STORY!!!
Why is CNN hosting a panelist who is actively UPSET about SOF supporters wanting to TAKE DOWN child sex rings?!? pic.twitter.com/UjP1s5Vs1N

Oh it won’t get even a mention. Yet, it should dominate. But we know why it won’t be .
CNN is another propaganda arm of the CIA from the origins of Project Mockingbird long ago.
Maybe the CIA is responsible for a certain percentage of the human trafficking around the world?
Here’s what Mark Dice has to say about Op Mock.

A salient point in this movie is their telling of the horror of child trafficking yet withholding prurient images.
This. Exactly this. And exactly why the film is so powerful and effective.
I wonder how involved with child sex trafficking Mr.Rothchild is.
Some smart folks should start looking into this guy.
It’s an odd thing to leap to the defense of systemic sex slavery. This is eventually going to be exposed, with some big names in the middle of it.
That's because they are so hopelessly out of touch with mainstream America.
Excellent point.
Agree wholeheartedly.
If you like the taste of liberal tears, go see the show. Even if you don’t want to see the show, buy a ticket. That supports the show by boosting sales.
CNN, like all of the rest of MSM (now Fox, too) and the commie trash in charge support child grooming. What else do you expect when “81 Million” voted a Pedo into the WHouse?
Things involving ropes and some carpentry would be a good start.

Yes, based on real life people, and events.
The plot is simple, but it becomes complicated and multi-layered very quickly. It starts with a humble Honduran single father who gets enticed to enter his children, a young girl, and her brother into a talent search agency. The agency turns out to be a front for child traffickers.
When Tim Ballard, working for the Department of Homeland Security, follows the leads, he sees that they could be rescued, but since there are no American citizens involved, the DHS tells him to back off due to the law. U. S. laws will not allow action unless an American is involved in some way.
Ballard knows he is capable of rescuing the children, but he would have to quit his job and go it alone.
That is exactly what he does.

My wife and I saw Sound of Freedom this past Friday and came away very moved. The movie shines a bright light on a very dark subject, but it does it without feeling like an exploitation film. Very well-made and eye-opening.
We watched another Christian movie this weekend called Nefarious. If you need lots of CGI and action, Nefarious probably won’t be the movie for you. 80% of the movie is just two people sitting across a table from each other and talking. It’s not scary but it does create a real creeping dread. I found it streaming on Prime.
That dweeb on the right looks a lot like a typical pedo mug shot.
The Bolsheviks are getting real testy of late it’s getting dark for them fast.
It might get a few nominations, but the perverts in Hollywood will make sure it doesn't win anything.
I agree. Who else would be against this movie and would go out of their way to slander it?
