The American media is not handling the success of “The Sound of Freedom” well.
The anti-child-trafficking film has been a box-office hit that outsold Woke’s dismal “Indiana Jones” sequel in its opening weekend screenings. But her deep dive into the disturbing world of child trafficking has led to numerous accusations in the corporate media that it is fueled by “Q Anon” conspiracy theories.
On Saturday, CNN had Mike Rothschild to blast “The Sound of Freedom” as a fantastic Q Anon fearmongering and little else.
“And you seem to know him quite well [Jim Caviezel] because he doesn’t really hide his association with this real wild plot that involves, you know, drinking the blood of children and stuff like that,” said CNN host Abby Phillip, referring to one version of the theory conspiracy by Q Anon that maintains the elites drink the blood of children to drink the supposed chemical “adrenochrome”.
“No, he doesn’t hide it at all,” remarked Rothschild. “And you have a lot of people who are in this Q Anon world who say, oh, they don’t know what this is. They’ve never heard of it. They’re just asking questions. With someone like Jim Caviezel, he’s openly embracing it. He’s openly using his slogans and concepts. He speaks at Q Anon conventions. And this movie is marketed to specific Q Anon believers or people who believe in the same principles as Q Anon but claim they don’t know what it is.
Mike Rothschild is thus conflating the vast majority of Americans who oppose child trafficking with the small sliver of people who are Q Anon conspiracy theorists.
“And ‘The Sound of Freedom’ focuses on a real issue of sex trafficking,” Phillip commented. “But this topic, it’s like this kernel of truth that feeds the Q Anon conspiracy theory. Tell us how these two things work.”
“Sure,” he replied. “And the most enduring and most believable conspiracy theories are not entirely false. There is something in them that is true, and the rest is false.”
“But believers point to the one thing that’s true and say, ‘Oh, you don’t think this particular thing is true in terms of child trafficking,'” he continued. “We know that trafficking is real. We know that it has real victims. No one is denying that.”
“But these films are created out of a moral panic,” he added. “They’re built out of false statistics. They’re built out of fear. And with something like Sound of Freedom, it’s looking specifically at Q Anon about the concepts of these child trafficking networks that are run by the high-level elites. And only people like Tim Ballard and only people like Jim Caviezel and, by extension, only people like the ticket buyer can help bring down these trafficking rings.”
“Therefore, there is a very participatory element,” he said. “You’re not just going to see a movie, you’re just killing two hours on a hot day. You’re helping to bring down these, these pedophile rings and save children. Now it’s not true, but it’s a very comforting and very warm feeling.”
There are certainly valid points in Rothschild’s criticisms of the film, even if he tried to dispute them with various cases involving American elites and child sex scandals. There are cases involving Hollywood and even some involving journalists, especially at CNN and ABC News. (Both journalists were fired from their jobs.)
But in the background of this conversation appears Jeffrey Epstein, who ran in the circles of the most powerful and famous people in the world. The court case of his infamous Madame Ghislaine Maxwell ensured that Epstein’s client list also known as his “little black book” would be sealed and not officially published.
If the mainstream media really wants to fight “conspiracy theories” they would dig up the conspiracy facts about Epstein’s clientele and if they were in fact entangled in his network of pedophiles.
