The Film 'Sound of Freedom' Sends a Rolling Stone Writer Into Fits of Rage: Linking the Film to QAnon is now the New Left Wing Talking Point

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 from Rolling Stone is having a “hold my beer” moment.

We’ll start with his actual article, but the continuation of his freakout happens elsewhere.

I watched Jim Caviezel's QAnon-ish child-trafficking drama "Sound of Freedom" with the kind of muttering, coughing, "Amen!"-bellowing boomers who have made it a right-wing indie hit. Hard to overstate just how disgusting it was! https://t.co/SA1Q1OMnsD

“Based on a true story,” I heard from somewhere across the theater.

The familiar words had appeared on screen, and an elderly man had taken it upon himself to read them aloud, to the rest of a sizable audience seated for a matinee showing of the anti-child-trafficking thriller Sound of Freedom, starring Jim Caviezel. For the seasoned moviegoer, this phrase is a joke — we know that cinema will stretch almost any “truth” to the breaking point — and the rank insincerity of such a pronouncement is the foundation of the prankish opening titles of Fargo. But this crowd, I could tell, would view the events depicted over the next two-plus hours as entirely literal.

Let me stop there because if I’m reading that right, and I think I am, this reviewer is actually suggesting that it’s a problem for movie-goers watching this movie to believe that human trafficking is real. Does Miles Klee think human trafficking doesn’t exist? I’m left wondering what great harm is even being perceived here. That people might take human trafficking too literally? Of all the things to rage about online, that seems like a rather odd choice.

Miles didn’t save his attacks for just the movie itself, though. He also went after Tim Ballard, the man on whom the movie is based, and his anti-human trafficking organization, Operation Underground Railroad.

Ballard himself has dabbled in Q-adjacent conspiracy theories, such as the Wayfair trafficking hoax, while his organization has far-right affinities and a long record of distorting its botched “raids,” which rely on bizarre tactics like asking psychics where to find victims for rescue. Ballard, Caviezel, and others of their ilk had primed the public to accept Sound of Freedom as a documentary rather than delusion by fomenting moral panic for years over this grossly exaggerated “epidemic” of child sex-trafficking, much of it funneling people into conspiracist rabbit holes and QAnon communities. In short, I was at the movies with people who were there to see their worst fears confirmed.

I read a paragraph like that, and I’m left wondering exactly how we got to the point where saving kids from human traffickers (which is absolutely a real, documented issue in the world) became so partisan. Whether one agrees with Ballard’s techniques, and I have a feeling Miles is stretching matters, or not, that shouldn’t drive someone to essentially become an apologist for human trafficking. Yet, that’s exactly what’s happening.

From there, Miles launches into a tortured critique of the film, but he then went to Twitter to essentially mock human trafficking as a real-world problem.

here we go!!

We are talking about a run-of-the-mill action thriller about extracting a little girl from human traffickers. How is that so objectionable that it’d make a grown man act that way? I understand partisanship rules all, but man, maybe take a break every once and a while. There is no grand army of QAnon followers going to see Sound of Freedom. It’s just normal people wanting to see the type of movie that used to be very popular in Hollywood. The leftist conspiracy theories surrounding it are deranged. They are telling you who they are. We should probably believe them.

The young people in our society are also being groomed to believe human life isn’t really worth much.

So who cares if some unfortunate kid gets nabbed and trafficked? Who cares if a woman aborts and kills her unborn child? Who cares if some kid has their genitals removed and their life ruined. Who cares if people are lying doped up and dying in the streets?

This above is exactly why the left is claiming only white hairs are seeing this movie. The youngsters are on Tik Tok making asses of and glorifying themselves.

This is the agenda of the left and the Satanists. We should fight even harder against them. This movie won’t stop them, but maybe it will reawaken people to fight them.

Looking at that pic I’d wager the author is a participant trying to deflect attention.

You have to remember that the Media-Dem Party is leading the charge in the War Against Children, they see this movie as a form of resistance to their nationwide/worldwide war of aggression against children. They either want to kill them before or during birth or once they are actually here they want to sexually exploit them or sexually mutilate them.

The critics loved this child sex trafficking movie in 2017, the plot sounds pretty darn similar to me to the Caviezel movie. They both have a child sex trafficking ring and the protagonist tries to rescue a girl from it. It must just be who produced it I guess. Or it could be the rating, the one from 2017 is brutal and is rated R, the Caviezel movie is rated PG13.

Well, now: Clearly they’re getting their marching orders from someone.

The death of the ‘ministry of truth’ was, ironically, obviously not truthful.

The core of the problem isn’t merely Left vs. Right; it’s good vs. evil. The Left doesn’t just hate America. The Left hates God and those that follow Him.

One thing this movie does is draw the slime out of their hidey holes and expose who they are.

"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."

The main reason I saw the Deer Hunter was because Jane Fonda called it Pentagon propaganda. Some things never change. Liberal woke a-holes never learn. They're just selling past the closing

Natural reaction from Rolling Stone, their Rock Heros are godless pedophiles.

You just might be correct. My cousin is an award-winning filmmaker who left Hollywood years ago after she was naive enough to have an anti-leftist article she had written published on Brietbart. That was that - all her work instantly dried up, people stopped calling and her calls went unanswered.

The stories she has heard from other filmakers and producers still there who didn't abandon her would shock you beyond belief. It truly is a vile, sexual predator and pedophile's paradise.

My cousin's story has a happy ending: She and her husband, who is a very talented music score writer, bailed on Hollywood and set up shop in a red state where they continue producing films and music and count conservative writers and filmmakers Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer among their friends. Here's their production company: Crunch Entertainment

“Child trafficking victims who’ve spent their formative years servicing the carnal desires of men, often foreigners, who are three, four, five or six times their age. Their madam tells me that many of their customers are western humanitarian workers who’ve come here to help rebuild Haiti after the recent run of natural disasters.”

“This is far from a ‘vigilante group’; leading the team is ex-Department of Homeland Security special agent Tim Ballard, perhaps America’s foremost human trafficking expert. “The problem in Haiti is an international crisis,” Ballard explains. “With so many children displaced or orphaned during the recent earthquake and hurricane, recruiters moved quickly to sweep these children up. And the worst part of it all is that in many cases the clients are the foreigners who’ve come here to help, the NGO workers and the so-called humanitarians.”
PURE EVIL.
