Sound of Freedom: the QAnon-adjacent thriller seducing America

Excellent read. And you’re probably going to hear about this movie soon if you haven’t already.

Jim Caviezel is basically using the plight of children to further his Q Anon conspiracies. He’s a full on nut who probably wanted to title this movie ‘Killery and the Jews want to eat your babies.’

I can’t describe how dangerous the Q Anon baby eating conspiracies are, it’s the road to fascism and genocide. When you assign to your enemies that they’re selling children for sex and cannibalism, you excuse any and all violence someone commits against them.

Caviezel's concern ends when it comes to party and church affiliation. Which by the way are by far the biggest offenders of pedophilia and child trafficking. These people are such frauds and hypocrites..

1. I didn't want to participate in helping Mel Gibson try to rehabilitate his sullied image.
2. I don't like or approve of torture porn, especially religious torture porn.

I wouldn't touch that shitty movie with a barge pole.

but the whole conspiracy goes back to blood libel and the centuries of antisemitism that still fester.

I have nothing but pure contempt for any QMoron.

with lots of "gratuitous violence (and vices)" in lots of films and made for TV series. When those vices cross the line into imaginative CTs that include pornographic evils, I'd suppose, is different for anyone, but continuing to watch is as normalizing as a warning label not to watch because it's dangerous to one's mental or (fill in the blank) health. Supposing it's purposeful back-story true crime is an insult to critical thinking skills of viewers and readers who won't waste more than the first few hints where the plot's leading in normalizing heinous bad behaviors of the "actors." Real people do indeed act out of the ordinary public norms. "Authors (who sold the book)," "writers (who deserve better wages),"casting personnel BFFs" and "producer/directors" are equally at fault as well as the censoring Tik Tok reviewers who call it out by hollering "NOT WORTH WATCHING A MINUTE OF THIS ONE; THIS CHARACTER (and by association, the actor) ENJOYS PLAYING WITH YOUR BRAIN." So OK - so warned that actors may choose roles based on their own changed religious "kernels of belief" behind CT theories, and how much they'd get paid to play successful "crime fighter heros"; suspending reality is quite different than gratuitous vice. Do you trust you can tell the difference?

I don't know whether Mel GIBSON is directly involved, but his stooge CAVIEZEL is (now?) tight with one Eduardo VERASTEGUI, who started out as a boytoy, got into a few Mexican novelas, then zeroed in to the grift side of a supposed "Catholic" game and suddenly became "celibate," with rumors of sexploits with high powered types, guilt by association with the criminally perverted founder of the Legion of Christ (Marcial MARCIEL), raising cash with a pray-the-rosary scam, magnetically attracted to Power people - yes, every pope including Francis, Mexican president PENA-Nieto, and topping it with joining his fellow grifter Drumpf. Now, this stooge is fairly much running for president of Mexico.

These cabal members are always looking for a heart-tugging issue to latch onto, and they found one for this movie.

After his turn as The Divine Mr. Passion, he can do no wrong in their eyes.

Having said that, I didn't hear a peep about this film until several days after its premiere. Like literally not a peep, and I watch trailers on YouTube all the time.


Prediction: when it doesn't win all the Oscars, we'll hear about the commie liberal pedophile Hollywood conspiracy conspiratorially conspiring to suppress The Truth.

This movie was made and Disney owned the rights to it, but obviously wouldn’t release it because the source of the story is a liar and Caviezel was using it to promote antisemitism.

So they’ve been promoting this from the start with, “the movie Disney execs paid millions to prevent the world from seeing.” It fed right into the Q Anon garbage and goes right along with their war on Disney right now.

This movie was made to promote Q Anon conspiracies and Caviezel has been touring the country using this movie to promote Q Anon conspiracies even before it was released.

It’s an attempt to indoctrinate more people into their crazy world of conspiracies where Hillary and a cabal of Jewish bankers are doing all sorts of unspeakable things to children. That’s what this is, an effort to get more people down their rabbit hole. They’re literally using children who are the victims of child sex trafficking to promote Q Anon conspiracies that have their roots in Nazi propaganda, it’s beyond dangerous and sick.

And it’s always the same lead in. “If you care at all aboutt children you must watch this movie!” It leaves no room for disagreement, because if you disagree you must be part of the conspiracy.

And if you question the facts and the people who made the film the response is, “it’s all true, I researched it and this is a totally true story.” Then they will attack you with, “I thought everyone could agree on protecting children. This country is doomed.” As if calling out the Q Anon aspect to the film and its makers means you don’t care about child sex trafficking.

Dangerous stuff.
