The Media Campaigns Hard To Defend Child Exploiters

They'll tell you they're not groomers and p3dos in the same breath they denounce a film for telling the story of a real-life anti-trafficking agent.

The Washington Post and Rolling Stone both came out criticizing the anti-child sex trafficking film, Sound of Freedom after its release. Both also praised another movie, Cuties, which depicts a twerking dance crew made up of little girls.
The articles that both the Washington Post and Rolling Stone released about Sound of Freedom accuse the film of being associated with QAnon conspiracy theories. The film is based on a portion of Tim Ballard's life and the beginnings of him forming the organization, Operation Underground Railroad (OUR).
Rolling Stone said that actor Jim Caviezel, who depicts Ballard in the film, has given "speeches and interviews" about "evildoers who are harvesting the blood of children."
The Post pointed out that the film has been "promoted on QAnon message boards" and plays into the theory that "global elites are kidnapping children, having sex with them and harvesting their blood."
Ballard and Caviezel recently went on an interview with Jordan Peterson. Ballard also addressed this and explained that blood and organ harvesting is "very real." He has posted a video showing a raid where this occurred in Western Africa.
He continued and said, "So, I might say something like that and then they connect it to something a QAnon person says about a celebrity who must be doing this too. But there's no evidence to back that. They make a false connection there." Other reports detail the practice.
...
The Post and Rolling Stone, aside from attempting to link Sound of Freedom to QAnon, praised the movie Cuties, in which little girls are sexualized in a twerk-dancing crew.
One statement from Rolling Stone said the backlash at Cuties was just part of a "tactic [that] has its roots in conspiracy theorist circles, such as the QAnon community."
The article alleges the backlash to the film was part of the "far right's obsession with pedophilia."

Are you quite certain that it's the right who's obsessed with grooming children?

Another piece from Rolling Stone called it a "coming-of-age movie" that was caught in a culture war. The piece says it was not "a salacious bit of pedo-bait" but instead said it was its "polar opposite" that points out what happens when children get too involved with sexuality.

The Guardian: Sound of Freedom is QAnon Paranoia!

So I had a big weekend. I saw both The Sound of Freedom and Mission: Impossible.

I'm very tired today so won't review either. I'll say both are very good.

Let me rebut a couple of the attack lines the pro-child-s3x left is using to attack The Sound of Freedom:

1. It's just for Bible-thumpers. Um, the movie was made by 20th Century Fox Studios. Disney acquired it when they bought Fox (for seventy billion -- good call, Bob Iger!). Angel Studios is distributing it only because Bob Iger and Disney buried the movie and refused to release it -- gee, wonder why?

This movie was not made and not financed by Angel Studios. It is only being distributed by them after Disney refused to do so.

Angel Studios offered to buy the film from Disney. I think it was Bob Chapek, not Bob Iger, who agreed to sell the movie and release it from Unapproved Narrative Jail.
The ultra-woke Iger, I'm sure, would have gladly just taken the loss and let the film rot in Disney's Secret Vaults forever.

There are three references to God in the entire movie. Three. First, someone says "these are God's children, and they are not for sale."

Then Jim Caviezel's character quotes from the Bible when he arrests a p3dophile.

Finally, a character explains how he changed his life from being a career criminal to helping rescue children from slavery. He said God "commanded" him to make up for his past sins.

That's it. That's the Bible Thumping Content. About a total of 21 seconds of "religious messaging."

If this is a "religious" movie, so is Pulp Fiction. And so is Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Didn't you guys ever go to Sunday school?

2. The movie is "paranoid." Although the left is careful not to straight-out say it, they're implying that child slavery is basically just a "conspiracy theory" of the right and that it never happens.

The Guardian is attacking the film for the "conspiracy theory" that says, I guess, that children are being sold into slavery.

Despite the fact that just two months ago, they complained of FaceBook and Instagram being used for child-slavery purposes:

Just in April, the Guardian published a report showing massive trends in child sex trafficking on Facebook and Instagram, and did not mention QAnon.

3. The movie is "making things up."

Is it? You know, there's actual police videotape of the major bust seen in this movie, right?

Don't watch this if you plan to see the movie; best to see it fresh and well-dramatized.

But here's one of the "made up" events, I guess:

Hey @guardian here is the actual news reporting on the main child sex trafficking raid depicted in ‘Sound of Freedom’. You might wanna dial back on the whole right wing conspiracy BS. https://t.co/yqyV1hwGAZ

A version of this claims that while some of the events in the movie happened, it's all a Big Lie because the film, get this, made up a brother-and-sister pair who'd been kidnapped and forced into child slavery. See, the film took a few small liberties with the truth, and that makes everything in the movie Hitler's Big Lie.

Weird how Hollywood and the unconscionable Groomer Media never takes a similar position with their "issue pics"!

By the way, was anyone expecting a movie about children forced into prostitution to feature all the real-life details of exploited children?

4. The movie is "exploitive." I think they intend this to mean, "The movie plays to the fears and worries of conservative parents, so it's 'exploiting' them."

Oh Media -- you care that conservative parents are being "exploited" now, do you? Weird -- usually you want to get them investigated as terrorists. But now you worry that grifters are swindling them out of $10 or $20!

You do care! You really care!

The other thing they could mean is that the film exploits child exploitation. Like it... shows this stuff leeringly. That's insane. It shows nothing -- everything is implied -- and of course the film's take on child exploitation is not "look how hot this is."

That sure seems to be the media's take, though.

Compare how the media is treating this movie to the welter of #MeToo movie released from 2017-2022. No one in the media every knocked She Said for altering some details for dramatic purpose.

And no one in the media ever said "A few dozen actresses and news celebrities being grossly pressured into sex by some gross men is No Big Deal, and only a 'paranoid fantasy' of the left."

No -- the #MeToo movies were praised to the hilt and showered with award nominations.

You see, when a couple of dozen adult leftwing white women get propositioned by some toads, that's a National Emergency Which We Must Change Everything to Fix.

But when 5 or 10 or 20 thousand children, from age 12 down to age six, are sold into the living hell and unwakeable nightmare of being r@ped by repulsive strangers five times a day -- oh, that's no big deal. We wouldn't want to upset some of our liberal friends whose sexual interests run towards the recherchée, now would we?

I don't think it's working. The movie made almost $20 million this past weekend, only $7 million behind the $322+ million "blockbuster" from Disney, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

Where I saw it -- Saturday at 2pm -- the theater was 90%+ full. The front row was empty, and I didn't see another empty seat in the place, though there might have been empty seats here and there.

It might have made more. There are unconfirmed reports that AMC theaters in particular have been plagued by alleged "air conditioning failures" in just the halls where The Sound of Freedom is showing -- shows have been canceled, and even people who actually saw the movie have had their tickets refunded.

Because, allegedly, the "air conditioning wasn't working" in just those halls showing the film. And only in those halls.

I don't think AMC corporate would do anything like that -- but I could imagine Blue-Hair Nose-Rings Teenagers posting in #Resistance threads that they should all sabotage the movie at the cinemas where they work.

We see you, Regime Media.

We see you, Hollywood.

21 ... The articles that both the Washington Post and Rolling Stone released about Sound of Freedom accuse the film of being associated with QAnon conspiracy theories. ...
The movie does not make that association. The people who made it do not. The people who see it are not (at least, not in reviews I have seen). These press whores are *themselves* making that association, then claiming that this troubling association means the movie is evil. It's breathtaking.

Rolling Stone said that actor Jim Caviezel, who depicts Ballard in the film, has given "speeches and interviews" about "evildoers who are harvesting the blood of children."
Maybe so. They also provide the receipts, but that's beside the point. The *movie* does not go into that, per my understanding (I haven't seen it yet). These press whores are the same people who say that refusing to see a movie because the actor hates you is just your own blindered hatred getting in the way - yet that is precisely what they are encouraging here.

The article alleges the backlash to the film was part of the "far right's obsession with pedophilia."

“We never set out to tell the history of the Cheeto,” Eva Longoria, who is making her feature directorial debut with “Flamin’ Hot,” told The Los Angeles Times in March, shortly before the film’s premiere at South by Southwest. “We are telling Richard Montañez’s story and we’re telling his truth.”

So, the filmmakers forged ahead, and “Flamin’ Hot,” which bills itself as a “true story,” will begin streaming on Disney+ and Hulu on Friday. The film follows Montañez (Jesse Garcia) through his early days as a janitor at a Frito-Lay plant in California, where he eventually makes a pivotal phone call to Roger Enrico (Tony Shalhoub), the chief executive of the Frito-Lay parent company PepsiCo, to pitch an idea for a tasty corn puff. That sets him on a path to becoming a multicultural marketing executive at PepsiCo.

If you're worried about the disgusting nature of the crimes -- they imply them without getting explicit. Yes, just the implication is very uncomfortable -- you will squirm and be upset -- but it's not like watching Torture Porn.

It's a good exciting movie. Even a Regime Media outlet which poor-mouthed the film acknowleged that its drama is "espionage thriller." Not technically espionage, because it's really an undercover law enforcement thriller, but there are a lot of espionage-type moves Ballard (Cavizel) has to make to accomplish his mission. Including going rogue!

50 Ukraine, 2009

"Allegations about stolen babies first surfaced in Kharkiv about three years ago. Mothers of two newborns complained that hospital staff took away their babies immediately after birth, later claiming that they were born dead.

Local investigators dug up the hospital's graveyard and could not find the infants, but did uncover an unexpectedly large number of remains from fetuses and newborns.

The case was closed, despite questions that kept nagging at the babies' relatives: Why were so many of the bodies missing vital organs? If their children weren't in the grave, where did they go?"

51 Tim Ballard addressed the "q-qnon adjacent" claims. He said his organization has disavowed the adenochrome theory promoted by the anons. However he also described how children trafficked to West Africa had their blood and spinal fluid drained for ritual magic.

So what I get from this is that he has no direct knowledge of Comet Pizza's shenanigans but he is aware of other cultures preying on children for their bio-assets.

I don't think so. "Exploitative" usually implies an exploitation of the victims. They're using these children and their plight to capitalize - to sell tickets, to pimp their foundation, etc. Those Sarah MacLaughlin animal shelter commercials are exploitative, for example.

From what I have heard - again, I haven't seen it yet - it isn't really. They treat it fairly carefully and don't get into the truly horrible things that happen off-screen.

Now we may have a better understanding why the incoming invaders are specifically exempt from taking the mRNA Kill Shot.

These murderers demand Pure Blood, not that tainted clotted up garbage that gurgles and spurts through the arteries of permanently mutated Westerners.

60 It might have made more. There are unconfirmed reports that AMC theaters in particular have been plagued by alleged "air conditioning failures" in just the halls where The Sound of Freedom is showing -- shows have been canceled, and even people who actually saw the movie have had their tickets refunded.

Because, allegedly, the "air conditioning wasn't working" in just those halls showing the film. And only in those halls.

Sounds like what happened on election night '20 with all the faulty plumbing. What a coincidence!

61 53 4. The movie is "exploitive." I think they intend this to mean, "The movie plays to the fears and worries of conservative parents, so it's 'exploiting' them."
++++
I don't think so. "Exploitative" usually implies an exploitation of the victims. They're using these children and their plight to capitalize - to sell tickets, to pimp their foundation, etc. Those Sarah MacLaughlin animal shelter commercials are exploitative, for example.

From what I have heard - again, I haven't seen it yet - it isn't really. They treat it fairly carefully and don't get into the truly horrible things that happen off-screen.

They said the same thing about Death Wish in the 70s. It was just exploitation without any connection to reality, even though it echoed with people because of the reality around them about a decaying culture.

I think we may have found the closest film to Death Wish of our age in The Sound of Freedom.

62 The left has been pushing so much that leans in the pedo direction, whether it be drag queen story hour, or "our children" belong to society not their actual parents, or open borders so traffickers are less burdened doing what they do, or eliminate checks at the border to make sure children are actually related to the person transporting them, or sexual mutilation of people who are confused, or ..... the rest of the list we see pretty much every day.

This movie is dangerous to them because it has the power to make lots more people see them for who they really are. This response is just the start of how crazy they will be if they can't kill this movie.

69 55 two other Angel Studios movies were advertised before this one, and both looked good: Cabrini, about an italian nun coming to nYC in the 20s or 30s, and something called "Shift" or "The Shift," a sci-fi action movie about a guy who gets shifted out his reality into some dystopian future reality.

73 Where I saw it -- Saturday at 2pm -- the theater was 90%+ full. The front row was empty, and I didn't see another empty seat in the place, though there might have been empty seats here and there.
++++
I have my tickets for this week. Finding seats at a showing I could get to was really tough. The theaters around me have it one screen, and it's filling really fast. Only the late-night shows (like 9:00-10:00 PM start time) are still available now, which is too late for me on a work day. Most of the local theaters have no showings at all after Thursday, presumably because of "Dead Reckoning" seeing way more showtimes starting on Friday.

The theater owners have to be pretty unhappy about this. They have to dedicate screens to a shit show like Indy 5 that's making no money and playing to empty auditoriums and so they don't have room to run this movie on another screen that would probably also sell out (or at least, get more butts in the seat than the Indy movie).

For the kids, it may be the only life they've ever known, and pulling them from it does have some sort of trauma.

But, to the left, the only kind of child abuse worthy of state action is a middle class Christian telling their kids that the world was created 5000 years ago.

85 I appreciate you sharing your thoughts, Ace. The fact that this movie is almost at full capacity in a theatre in a red state says that either many people are appalled at the sexual exploitation and abuse of kids, or being told NOT to see it means that many people don't like being told by the usual suspects to say away, or perhaps both. I noticed that yesterday afternoon the theatre near me was playing Sound of Freedom in two theatres as well as Dial of Destiny. This movie is being talked up in various "Moms/Parents for Liberty online sites, so I think more people are seeing that than "Indiana Jones and the bossy daughter."

They do.

They see Taken as racist because the bad guys are Muslims (well, at least the ones buying the girls in the end), at least in the first one. I think the second one shifted to Serbs as bad guys, which made it easier for them to accept.

Luc Besson, who cowrote and produced Taken, was not treated kindly by the American press after that, but he mostly just stays in France now where that sort of anti-Arab sentiment isn't as universally treated as an ultimate sin.

130 It's astonishing that the leftists have a problem with a movie opposing child sex trafficking. You'd think if there were ONE issue on which we could all agree, this would be it.

Unless, of course, the movie hits a bit close to home for them, and their attempts to mainstream perversion.

131 When I first realized RT had a "Jesus split", where any movie that portrayed Christians as anything other than hypocrites, I started to watch for how sensitive a trigger was needed to get the split, with "The Hollars" being the canary in the coal mine.

At the time it had a 43/73 split on RT. It has one very brief shot (like 1 second) that could be construed as anti-abortion. It has a pastor who's not a creep.

That was all it took.

137 The Critical Drinker and Jeremy Jahns both gave Sound of Freedom great reviews - that's gonna help, too.

I thought it was a good movie, after the solid first hour of rage started to abate. The brother and sister were particularly good and expressive actors - normally kids are the weakest part of dramas.

On the other hand, I guess it takes courage to plant your f(l)ag on the pro-child-sex-slavery side of the issue, so... stunning and brave?

166 Mel Gibson grew up in an ultra-Catholic household, as did Caviezel who's Irish/Gypsy like the Peaky Blinders family (not Irish Gypsy Travellers, which is something else).

Mel felt compelled to make Passion and paid to make it. When it came time to distribute it he was blackballed by Hollywood. Distribution isn't just about money, it's about connections with theaters, etc.

So Mel did the distribution himself enlisting church groups and word of mouth. He had his personal fortune on the line, but then a miracle happened and he made $400 million personally.

They do.

They see Taken as racist because the bad guys are Muslims (well, at least the ones buying the girls in the end), at least in the first one. I think the second one shifted to Serbs as bad guys, which made it easier for them to accept.

Luc Besson, who cowrote and produced Taken, was not treated kindly by the American press after that, but he mostly just stays in France now where that sort of anti-Arab sentiment isn't as universally treated as an ultimate sin.

My wife and kids screaming at me "they have Sabrina" because I was not cluing in, and then turning to this sea of humanity crowded around the terminal exit was not a great feeling.

Gods grace was that my very explosive and loud response and the fact that I am twice the size of the average Indonesian resulted in the crowd parting right in front of the guy who had her. He acted like he wasn't doing anything wrong and gave her back, and I was too relieved to have her to worry about trying to catch him or beat him or anything like that.

They......Don't......

So if I had a nagging doubt that these people are not what I my darkest suspicions say they are.

Didn't see it all but the scene where Nolte is watching the Bn being told they were being sent to the rear to rest while looking at the corpses was really a great bit of acting. Nolte surprised me in this film. So far I have waived off watching the full movie cuz it seemed so slow paced when I tried. Maybe I will give it a go.

204 she's in the movie, she plays Ballard's (Caviezel's) wife.

Mira Sorvino's career really got going because she was willing to give that hideous slug Harvey Weinstein what he wanted from her. When she stopped and rejected him, he destroyed her career, ended it. Nice to see her getting at least some work.

"She's difficult to work with" is a career killer in Hollywood.

205 "Q Anon" is all these dummies can come up with to try and discredit a film because it has a slight Christian tinge to it. That and it stars Cavezial, who godless Hollywood degenerates hate even more than Chris Pratt. Pratt only likes Jesus, Cavezial played the man and more or less immolated his career to do it.

It's Malick.

I think Malick is one of the great filmmakers ever. I think he's a genius of the highest order.

I recommend him to almost no one, though. He just doesn't use cinematic vocabulary and grammar that we've been brought up to expect. His movies are just too different. I get into them, but I know I'm in the minority.

So, if you decide to, good luck. I love The Thin Red Line on a level I love few movies, but the crowd of people like me on that front is not terribly big.

258 Saw it with Mrs. Whiffer. About 40-50 in attendance at the local plex on an otherwise dead Sunday night.

We both thought it was better than average, not a great movie just in moviemaking terms--I thought the acting was kind of wooden, the lines kind of telegraphed in places, and the bad guys would have been a lot more terrifying if they'd been a little less cartoonish. Still, it was a must-see just to get more of an idea of how real this shit is.

Ace is exactly right about the number of religious references counted being three, because I was listening for them, and verily did they not proceed on unto four. And there wasn't even a whiff of partisan blame cast in any direction, except perhaps in the plain and shameful fact that the rapacious appetites driving this enormity--and the coke trade that's tied to its hip--exist mostly among my own countrymen.

So, the only scandalous thing about this movie is that there are people scandalized by it.

Those of us who love Malick area a weird bunch. We twirl in sheer curtains.

I should also note that Malick is a devout Catholic and his films are extremely religious in nature. They are some of the few serious religious films being made in America over the past few decades.

There are motifs about the loss of Eden in all of them, and that's not an accident or a misreading.

282 DU hasn't jumped on this bandwagon yet, but they did post this somewhat related article recently:
Report: 38% of Brown University Students Identify as LGBTQ+. The Herald first collected data on Brown University students’ sexual orientation in 2010, when it found that around 14 percent of respondents said they were not straight, a proportion which has now more than doubled.

Brown University’s percentage of LGBTQ+ identifying students is more than five times the national rate, according to a 2022 Gallup survey which found 7.1 percent of U.S. adults, and 19.7 percent of those aged 18 to 25, identify as LGBT.

The poll has expanded its identification options since 2010—in the Spring 2022 poll the Herald added “Queer,” “Pansexual,” “Asexual,” and “Questioning/Unsure” as possible responses.

Bisexual was the most common identification among LGTBQ+ responses at 53.7 percent.

Only 22.9 percent of self-identified LGBTQ+ respondents described themselves as gay or lesbian in the 2023 poll, which the Herald notes is down from 46 percent from their Fall 2010 survey.

This does not surprise me. Science tells us that most people are bisexual to varying degrees.

Truly ruined my day that there are so many evil and stupid and reactionary people in the world who can’t even set aside their prejudices and ignorance long enough to agree that r$&ping and selling children for the perversions of the sick p33 people actually happens (it is incredibly well documented) and what’s even harder for them to admit is that it’s bad.

Now all they do is stick up for The Establishment.

Calling them counter culture was always a misnomer. Counter culture implies they were simply contrarians. They happened to be counter culture because they hate Western Civilization, and Western Civilization was the dominant culture. Now that Western Civilization is in decline, they are authoritarian super fans.

295 Good to see "The Thin Red Line" get some love here. It's really a great movie, it's just meditative and slow paced, which didn't stack up well against how visceral and emotional "Saving Private Ryan" was.

Cavezial was brilliant in that movie, and if you like Nolte in it, watch him in "Warrior". He is so good in that, I almost forgave that Julia Roberts movie he did.

296 About a week ago I was reading about modern-day slavery/human trafficking and came across a website by a family services organization that serves human trafficking survivors, family violence survivors, refugees and unaccompanied minors in an area of Texas.

The article is entitled, "Why we no longer say "Modern-Day Slavery," June 19, 2022. It ends, We understand that there are many people and anti-trafficking organizations that continue to use the terms slavery and modern-day slavery, and we do not intend to condemn or disrespect the language they choose to use. We hope others will join us in changing their dialogue and bringing about a change in the way we think about human trafficking. Learning is a lifelong journey, and we will continue to adjust our language as we learn and grow.

This topic is tearing me apart; we need to deal with it, it's growing rapidly. Adjustments in language be damned imo.

Further, contrary to Biden speeches, children are NOT kite strings belonging to the government, with the purpose of lifting national ambitions aloft, to be controlled by teachers, administrators, etc.

358 child sexual exploitation was an occasional episode on 'law and order: svu" so it must be fiction.

359 I'm coming to the conclusion that the reason Trump was run out of office was because he knew about this, and the worldwide political elites involvement in it, and they couldn't risk him doing something about it.

2020 (and 2024 even if DeSantis were the nominee, because lets face it he is even more on stopping this stuff) was to save the elites from the fury they would receive if we knew what they are doing to our missing kids, and exploited teenage girls. Remember Trump's encounter with Epstein at Mara Lago after his initial brush with the law on this.

360 The same people saying Sound of Freedom is made up, were the ones drooling over thehot frito movie that Joe Biden hada movie premiere in the white house for, and they said that movie showed how we need immigrants because they actually create everything and white corporations just steal frim those poor Mexicans.

The thing is the one they claim is made up, is backed by evidence such as video and arrest records, while the one they praise was debunked as fake before it was even made, but Eva Longoria made it anyway since she nothing else positive to create about her country.

362 I'm making $90 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning sixteen thousand US dollars a month by working on the connection, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply. Everybody must try this job now by just using this website... www.Payathome7.com

363 Just compare the regime media's treatment of this movie with their reception of Spotlight, the Oscar-winning movie about the Catholic Church covering up molestation. Well, calling it "Oscar-winning" gives you a good clue as to how they treated it (and the countless other movies about molesting Catholic priests).

What Sound of Freedom addresses is far more horrific and widespread. We're talking about 100s of 1000s of victims being sold into sex slavery. Of course, it doesn't attack an institution the regime hates, and it wakes people up to the horrors of an open border, so naturally it gets the back of their hand.
