Leftist media just can’t stand ‘Sound of Freedom’ popularity, trash the film as ‘QAnon’ content

July 8, 2023 | | Print Article

The new crowdfunded hit movie that goes where Hollywood won’t by shedding light on the dark underworld of human trafficking isn’t sitting well with left-wing media critics who seem to have a problem with raising awareness about the abduction of children who are forced into the global sex slave trade.

This week, “The Sound of Freedom” stunned establishment leftists when it clobbered Disney’s “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” at the box office on the Fourth of July, taking down the $295 million budget Harrison Ford pic in which the legendary star dons his famous fedora for the fifth installment in the franchise, albeit one featuring a decrepit version of the daring action hero.

The movie which stars Jim Caviezel as a former DHS agent on a mission to rescue abducted children from the unspeakable horrors that they have been subjected to as sex slaves, has resonated with a public that is only now being awakened to the depravity of the left’s sexualizing of kids by perverts in classrooms and at drag queen events as well as the mainstreaming of pedophilia.

Critics for both the UK-based outlet The Guardian and website Jezebel which bills itself as featuring “Sex. Celebrity. Politics. With Teeth” published reviews trashing the film and smearing it as being “QAnon-adjacent” and “fit for QAnon” in shameful efforts to associate it with the batty conspiracy theory that has been used effectively by the political left to demonize conservatives.

The Guardian, which titled its hit piece “Sound of Freedom: the QAnon-adjacent thriller seducing America,” starts out by dismissing the film’s opening day success as being attributable to it being a holiday when people were “presumably spending time with their families and friends at barbecues or in other social situations,” arguing that besting Indiana Jones at the box office allowed for the “almost willfully misleading framing to allow for the David-and-Goliath narrative trumpeted by supporters.”

The outlet does acknowledge that “However one chooses to slice it, Sound of Freedom has over-delivered on expectations in dollars and cents, a feat of profitability uncommon for a comparatively low-budget production without a major Hollywood-led promotional campaign,” before going on to slime the studio, the film, its star and its fans as being paranoid bigots, right-wing crazies and anti-Semites in a sleazy and transparent effort to discourage people from seeing “The Sound of Freedom” by attaching a stigma to it.

In the Guardian piece, the author goes after Caviezel, a devout Christian, by sneering at his appearances with conservative firebrand Steve Bannon and accuses him of among other things, having “parroted falsehoods about Pizzagate and other underground cells subsisting on human blood, all of it pointing back to a foundation of conspiratorial thought targeting the Jewish and transgender communities.”

Jezebel calls the film an “Anti-Child Trafficking Fantasy Fit for QAnon” and picks up where the Guardian left off by denigrating the character of Tim Ballard, the former DHS agent who is portrayed by Caviezel and his organization Operation Underground Railroad which has a mission of rescuing children from sex trafficking.

According to Jezebel, “It probably will come as no surprise that among Ballard’s promotional rhetoric has been anti-trans sentiment. He claimed to the Daily Signal that trans ideology ‘foisted on children’ is going to lead to ‘what the pedophiles have been asking for. If you can consent to that, guess what? What’s more fluid than gender? Age.’ He also has blamed trafficking on Biden’s border policy.”

Twitter users posted their own reviews of the smears of the movie and its star, with many pointing out what is now obvious about the left’s sanctioning of child sex predators under the pretense of transgender rights.

In an interview with Fox News about the Guardian’s smear piece, producer Eduardo Verastegui said that it’s part of  “a lot of distractions out there” to discourage public attention to the film and its powerful message. “They’re trying to take this movie away from theaters.”
