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 4. The release date aligned with its patriotic Christian undertones, captured by the protagonist’s solemn line, “God’s children are not for sale.”
In real life, Caviezel, who plays a federal agent rescuing children from sex traffickers, has openly embraced QAnon. Caviezel’s character is based on Tim Ballard, who worked in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security before founding the anti-trafficking group Operation Underground Railroad.

Truth is an offense to those who reject Truth.
"'Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in Him will not be put to shame.' So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, 'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,' and 'A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.' " - 1st Peter 2:4-7
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. " - 1st Amendmenet
JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency) went over to the dark side long ago. Totally Far Left agenda is what they push with a deluge of falsehoods. There is almost nothing one can believe posted in JTA.
Luckily there are now excellent alternative news sites that stick to journalistic standards. JNS (Jewish News Syndicate) is one such site.
SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN QANON TO ME...PLEASE!
“Other than reading about blood libel on the Internet, I’ve never come across anyone who has ever mentioned it or even knows the history of that myth.”
I think the term “blood libel” was also used by Wasserman Schultz today against RFK Jr. People on the left often use obscure terms. It’s often a bluff. The person using the term does not know what it means. The person hearing the term does not want to admit their ignorance. It’s hard to defend oneself from an accusation that one does not understand.
“The real libel here is trying to smear Jim Cavieziel with it. They try to smear Jim as an antisemite and “Q-Anon” theorist without any evidence whatsoever.”
I agree completely. Again, you have the bandying about of poorly understood terms. People intend “antisemite” to mean anti-Jewish, but in fact there are semites who are not Jewish. Who really knows anything about Q-Anon? Certainly not the people who make the accusation.
If I were a Jewish conservative, and there are some, I would say “ouch.”

You shouldn’t go see it.
