“Sound of Freedom,” or Sound of PsyOp Propaganda…or Some of Both? by Anastasia Sprout
I am asking questions, and hoping for the best with this movie, and I am suspicious.
Whaaaaat? How could I doubt? The movie is being released on July 4, 2023…about freeing children from child sex trafficking! Skepticism here is downright unpatriotic!
Many stories have emerged lately about child sex trafficking - of course that must be good, to get those horror stories out so people can tap into natural outrage (humans are neurobiologically designed to feel outrage at the violation of innocence and honor)!
Or…are these news stories being shared not out of care of children, but for marketing purposes? Are they herding us “sheep” to something? First the Q leaks, now the opening up information about the vast pedophile network that many of us already know is there…https://www.wsj.com/articles/instagram-vast-pedophile-network-4ab7189. Hooray, it’s coming out! But for what? What is our “call to action?”
Welllllllll…knowing something about cult operations from my own childhood surviving organized abuse, I can tell you, emotional dates are very important and can be easily manipulated on a mass scale. When something is released to wide appeal, with concentrated, diverse media support, on the day of Independence of America, with a heart-wrenching, disclosure-related theme like child sex trafficking, I wonder.
First of all, this is being marketed as a documentary. But is it truly a documentary? No, it’s not a documentary. It’s a movie, made up. Reports of a documentary are false, per investigation.
Per that most (untrustworthy) but widely used media source, wikipedia:
Sound of Freedom was inspired by Tim Ballard's assertions that he is an activist against child trafficking (Ballard also founded Operation Underground Railroad, or O.U.R.).[5]
Tim Ballard personally requested that Jim Caviezel portray him in the film, even though the actor does not resemble him. Ballard said that he was affected by Caviezel's role in The Count of Monte Cristo (2002).[6][7]
OK so if we are going to critically consider Sound of Freedom, we have to decide if we trust Tim Ballard (does he really earn a $7 million USD salary with Operation Underground Railroad OUR? Is he a positive ex-CIA hero?), Mel Gibson (he was reported to have been blacklisted for speaking out against child sacrifice in Hollywood! Is his family really connected with Opus Dei? He has multiple media reports of anti-semitic, anti-Black, anti-gay, male dominant/violent statements), Jim Caviezel, and their associates...
One critique of this film is that it leads us to believe that child sex trafficking really happens in other countries, and not in the red, white, and blue U. S. of A. WRONG! It’s happening in the U.S., and we need to look not just in major cities like NY or L.A. but in our own neighborhoods, wherever we live. And even more alarming, our own city, state governments! Can we dare to believe that our federal government is perpetrating child sex trafficking at home and in other countries?
Exploring this movie release (and most when I am questioning something), I pondering Project Mockingbird, a CIA program to influence American domestic media. And, I am applying an evaluation of fascism:
Dr. Lawrence Britt wrote an article naming fourteen characteristics of fascism. He based his study on an examination of the regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Suharto and Pinochet. (For the record, we need to remind ourselves that four of these men were Roman Catholics never excommunicated by their church—all except Suharto.) A summary of Britt’s points follow:
1. Powerful and continuing nationalism employing constant use of patriotic slogans, symbols, songs, flags. America! Heroes! Rescuing children! White people rescuing children from brown criminals?
2. Disdain for the recognition of human rights because security needs outweigh human rights which can be ignored.
3. Using enemies as scapegoats for a unifying cause. Foreign child sex traffickers!
4. Supremacy of the military. Military ops! Heroes!
5. Rampant sexism including more rigid gender roles and anti-gay legislation. Are there any women rescuing children? Are they sexualized? What is their age? Look at Gibson’s past racism, sexism, hostility to gayness.
6. Controlled mass media. Corrupt media united around this project…why?
7. Obsession with national security driven by a politics of fear. Does this distract us? Do we want more military? Do we want to invade other countries now?
8. Religion and Government are intertwined especially in rhetoric employed by its leaders. What is role of religion/”God” in this project? Messages?
9. Corporate power is protected—industrial and business aristocracies put government leaders into power and keep them there creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. Focus on the scourge of foreign child sex trafficking, not on our own government’s corruption, public dissent, making changes in our communities!
10. Labor power, which represents one of the few threats to fascism, is suppressed.
11. Disdain for intellectuals and the arts and hostility to higher education along with censorship of arts or refusal to support the arts.
12. Obsession with crime and punishment. Punish the evil traffickers? Don’t have to look inside ourselves, our neighborhoods, our local and state governments? Sit watching someone else rescue, and don’t have to get up, get out and do anything ourselves?
Or, does this inspire us to get more involved? In that case, AWESOME! Let’s pull together and DO SOMETHING about child sex trafficking AT HOME!
13. Rampant cronyism and corruption. Hmmmm…
14. Fraudulent Elections. Still under audit? Status update anyone?

A final and very important concern I have is the choice of title for Gibson’s movie. It is quite similar to another book about a topic that is far more threatening to the controlling vast pedophile network than foreign child sex trafficking, and that is the crime of Trauma-Based Mind Control and Satanic Ritual Abuse. When titles are near copied like this, the original work can be buried during online searches, and it’s an effective way of erasing them from public discovery.
That book is by Judith Moore, and it’s called Song of Freedom: My Journey from the Abyss:
Book description: Judith Moore knew she had been brought up by loving parents. Before age forty she had no memory of childhood trauma, although she knew she had been sick a lot more than most people -- but it wasn't until she joined an incest survivors' group to help her adopted daughter that the memories began surfacing.
In this brave and groundbreaking work, Judith Moore shares her shattering revelations of the reality of high-level mind control. She opens the pages of her journal and the innermost feelings of her heart to share with readers her journey to wholeness and to healing.
Her early environment, rich in Native American folklore, helps her in her quest. With the help of caring professionals, she researches, travels, investigates, and meditates in an effort to set herself free, to reclaim her very sense of herself as a person. Her search leads her into terrifying, unknown territory and illuminating discoveries about her own psyche and that of today's society as a whole.
By all means, enjoy Sound of Freedom. I plan to see it, watch for anything strange, and I hope to be inspired. But I won’t stop there, and I hope you won’t too.
For anyone inspired to watch the Sound of Freedom film (not documentary), would you also please also:
1) Buy Judith Moore’s book, Song of Freedom: My Journey from the Abyss, and take a look even deeper down into the darkness of child sex trafficking, Satanism, and how a human can HEAL from such atrocities. Judith Moore is the real deal; she testified for the United States Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments in 1995, IN THE UNITED STATES!
and,
2) Watch two other survivors of similar abuses in the United States testify, video here, Claudia Mullen and Christine deNicola.
After hearing this grisly and heartbreaking testimony, where was the public outcry? Where was the official investigation? Where were the reports in the news? Where were the movies made to honor their resilience, to endure such tortures and live to tell and testify about them???!!!
U.S. President at the time Bill Clinton issued a placating public apology that did nothing to truly address the scope of the issue, despite his flowery words. Here is the video footage of his statement in the public press - now THIS SHOULD CAUSE OUTRAGE BECAUSE IT’S A TOTAL WHITEWASH MINIMIZATION!!!!!
I would love nothing more than to say that I dreamed this all up and need to just forget it. But that would be a tragic mistake. It would also be lie. All these atrocities did occur to me and to countless other children, and all under the guise of defending our country. —Claudia Mullen
Let’s be sure that we are not falling for a slick Hollywood/Netflix version of “defending our country’s children” by only looking at men rescuing them (a fictional account - is it truly based on real rescues? Where is the footage of that?) outside our borders, and not at least ALSO looking within them. MKULTRA and other forms of organized extreme child abuse did not stop in 1995, despite what was reported officially. It’s only gone deeper since then. Let’s look at this, for the sake of the children still trapped, now, everywhere.

MKULTRA, from Wikipedia: (NOTE: though wikipedia is a corrupt information source, one benefit of citing it is that this is the minimum permitted information easily available to the public. Here the emphasis is on the PAST MKULTRA activity. Still, it is a helpful start for people new to the topic.
Project MKULTRA was first brought to wide public attention in 1975 by the U.S. Congress, through investigations by the Church Committee, and by a presidential commission known as the Rockefeller Commission. Investigative efforts were hampered by the fact that CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all MKULTRA files destroyed in 1973; the Church Committee and Rockefeller Commission investigations relied on the sworn testimony of direct participants and on the relatively small number of documents that survived Helms’ destruction order. In 1977, a FOIA request uncovered a cache of 20,000 documents relating to project MKULTRA, which led to the Senate Hearings of 1977. In recent times most information regarding MKULTRA has been officially declassified. Although the CIA insists that MKULTRA-type experiments have been abandoned, 14-year CIA veteran Victor Marchetti has stated in various interviews that the CIA routinely conducts disinformation campaigns and that CIA mind control research continued. In a 1977 interview, Marchetti specifically called the CIA claim that MKULTRA was abandoned a “cover story.” On the Senate floor in 1977, Senator Ted Kennedy said: The Deputy Director of the CIA revealed that over thirty universities and institutions were involved in an “extensive testing and experimentation” program which included covert drug tests on unwitting citizens “at all social levels, high and low, native Americans and foreign.” Several of these tests involved the administration of LSD to “unwitting subjects in social situations.” At least one death, that of Dr. Olson, resulted from these activities. The Agency itself acknowledged that these tests made little scientific sense. The agents doing the monitoring were not qualified scientific observers.
