There are some things in life that, even in a polarized country, we should all be able to agree on, right? One of those obvious truths is that sex trafficking of children is bad.<\/p>\n

The new \u201cSound of Freedom\u201d movie powerfully showcases the efforts of a real former Homeland Security agent to stop it. The message of the movie is clear. These are all God\u2019s children. We must try to save them. They aren\u2019t for sale. Sex trafficking of kids is evil. Who could disagree? The people we know left the theater outraged by the treatment of children.<\/p>\n

Not the elite liberal media. They left the theater dripping with condescension and outraged at the film. And that says a lot more about them than it.<\/p>\n

Elite news outlets \u2013 from Rolling Stone to the Guardian to the Washington Post \u2013 have launched a round of bizarre attacks against the movie, attempting to unfairly tie it to the weird world of repulsive Qanon conspiracies and, in so doing, betraying their own biases (let\u2019s face it, this movie represents everything they hate, from religious faith to exposing trafficking across the border).<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s nothing in the movie about QAnon at all, no secret, elite cabal of political and Hollywood elites engaged in child trafficking appear in this film. There\u2019s no Pizza Gate.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth repeating. There is nothing in the film about QAnon at all; rather, it is based on real events and people.<\/strong> It highlights a real problem we should all care about.<\/p>\n

Rather, the moving film sticks close to true events. For example, Tim Ballard (played by Jim Caviezel) was a Homeland Security agent in real life who really started a non-profit organization to save children from sex trafficking. The island sting in the movie involving a beauty queen? Also based on real events. They were covered by the media at the time, and no one brought up QAnon then.<\/p>\n

The U.S. government touted the sting in a news release <\/a>back in 2014. The news release even includes photos of the scene and thanks Ballard\u2019s organization for assisting in the operation, which resulted in the rescue of 55 juvenile sex trafficking victims in Colombia.<\/p>\n

\u201cBOGOTA, Colombia \u2014 An international undercover law enforcement operation culminated Saturday with the arrests of 12 individuals involved in sex trafficking and the rescue of 55 sex trafficking victims, all minors,\u201d the news release from ICE states.<\/p>\n

\u201cU.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement\u2019s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Attach\u00e9 Office in Colombia and the Colombian Attorney General\u2019s Technical Investigative Corps Transnational Criminal Investigative Unit (CTI TCIU) conducted the operation that was carried out simultaneously in Cartagena, Medellin and Armenia, all Colombian cities.\u201d The release notes, \u201cDuring the takedown, one 11-year-old girl broke down in tears thanking the officials who rescued her. She was allegedly sold for $1,000 in U.S. currency since she was a virgin.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true that some of the \u201cSound of Freedom\u201d movie is fictionalized; for example, the real Ballard never killed a man or sneaked into a jungle posing as a doctor, according to his website. But IT\u2019S A MOVIE. Enough of it is based on real life and a real problem to make the elite media attacks simply bizarre, absent any actual QAnon references in the film (and there are none.)<\/p>\n

The ICE news release mentions the arrest of a former Miss Cartagena contestant who is the loose inspiration for the sex trafficker in the movie named Giselle. The characters of Vampiro and Fuego also really existed, according to Ballard\u2019s website.<\/a><\/p>\n

As Fox News noted<\/a>, the film \u201cnever engages in such conspiracy theories while exposing the underbelly of the real underground sex slave trade.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, the real Tim Ballard\u2019s group, Operation Underground Railroad, specifically denounces conspiracy theories (like QAnon). \u201cThis is not welcomed, nor should it be supported,\u201d the group\u2019s website says.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be clear, Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) does not condone conspiracy theories and is not affiliated with any conspiracy theory group in any way, shape, or form. From O.U.R.\u2019s inception, we have been fighting for the innocent by partnering with law enforcement and other NGOs who share our same mission to eradicate child sex trafficking,\u201d the site says.<\/a><\/p>\n

Yet this is the bizarre reaction from elite media outlets:<\/strong><\/p>\n
