THAT WAS NOT THE SOUND OF FREEDOM YOU HEARD ON JULY 4TH...
It was a massive explosion in a dumpster fire.
As you may or may not have heard, the movie "The Sound of Freedom", about a CIA Agent who "goes rogue" and founds an organization loosely called the "Underground Railroad" that targets "Child Traffickers" in "sting operations" oversees, has taken Sheepledom by storm, allegedly rocketing to #1 at the Box Office- no dispute there- displacing the latest Indiana Jones flick. (Harrison Ford has GOT to be using at least a walking stick by now.) The blogosphere is lighting up like a Christmas Tree, and especially the Traditional Catholic media has become instantly fixated. After all, the main star of the film, Jim Caviezel, made quite the splash some years back when he played Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Mel Gibson production "The Passion of the Christ", which went nuclear thanks in no small part to the railing of Abe Foxman and the Jewish Anti Defamation League. The movie was produced by Angel Studios, the same people that gave us PureFlix and the epic saga, The Chosen, about Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Twelve Apostles- an essentially Protestant production but widely hailed in Catholic circles too. So, what could go wrong?
Let's just cut right to the chase. On the Jordan Peterson show, aired July 3rd, Jim Caviezel and Tim Ballard are being interviewed in an epic production more than an hour long. It is precisely at about the 26:47 mark (26 minutes, 47 seconds) that we get the following nuclear blast: Peterson: "So let's go back in time to how you became an agent for the Homeland Security's Investigation Unit..." Ballard: "...I got a graduate degree in 'international politics' and I always wanted to have a job in Federal law enforcement and I was in the CIA and I was there in the 9-1-1 operations center in the wake of 9-1-1 and I found out- well I studied terrorism and weapons of mass destruction actually that was the degree I got at the Monterey Institute of International Studies and so I was an easy recruit into the CIA. When I found out one of the terrorists Mohammed Atta had staged his attack from Mexicali Mexico across the border and I speak Spanish I wanted to go fight terrorism on the southern border. So I ended up jumping ship from the CIA and I entered the newly created Homeland Security..."
And let's just stop right there. Now, anybody at least vaguely familiar with all the research done on "9-1-1" by "Conspiracy Theorists" knows that the 20 or so "operatives" of the planes that allegedly crashed into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon was more fake and gay than the "Lone Gunman" Lee Harvard Oswald fable for the JFK assassination. By 2005, it had become clear that the "official narrative" concerning these men was bogus. First off, more than one had been found to be still alive. (OOPS!!) Secondly, the cover story for Mohammed Atta had him going into a bank in Manhattan and offering a preposterous sum of money so he could just walk out of the lobby with a painting of the New York City skyline- or something to that effect. Critical thinkers rapidly came to the conclusion that the "terrorists" had just been a bunch of plants to attract attention, so that later witnesses could come forward and say "yeah, I recall..." which would give credibility to the official narrative.
In short, if Jim Ballard had half the brains he is letting on in the interview, and was really capable of leading sophisticated sting operations against the "child sex trafficking networks" he would have quickly realized that all the leads for the so-called "9-1-1 terrorist network" would be dead ends because, simply put, there was no "9-1-1 Terrorist Network", just a bunch of disinfo agents and, at best, a group of patsies being paid money or otherwise incentivised to carry out "terrorist plots".
This interview is really a piece of work. Ballard studiously avoids saying anything substantial that a researcher could latch onto. We are told colorful stories about the jungles of Columbia and "those 64 children" but not one name or precise location is dropped. Everything remains in the ephemeral world of intelligence dossiers.
Quite frankly, with all the research I have done over the years- the Franklin Scandal comes particularly to mind- I would bet my bottom dollar that if Ballard was for real, he would have quickly found out that the trails he was following would have led right back to the very agencies he was working for. I am also sure he would have found connections leading to European politicians, Vatican cardinals, Jewish rabbis, and, of course, business moguls. Instead, he paints a picture of this vast, underground, well-financed- obviously- network that is the brainchild of these mafiosi. Imagine that, all these mafiosi running around, and, just like those scads of international terrorists, not one of them has been caught and squealed his guts out before a grand jury.
At this point, if you are not smelling a LOT of bullshit here, you simply have not been paying attention.
You may recall that Elon Musk bought Twitter, amid much hoopla about "making the world safe for information again". Then we had the dramatic Tucker Carlson saga, with the legendary commentator being summarily fired and canned by Fox News. And, of course, the political theatre involving Biden, Trump, Newsome, De-Santis, and, lately, Robert Kennedy Jr.
Now, it's WAY too early to tell at this point, but methinks they are nowhere done with their Donald Q Chump Red Tie Windup Toy, Q-Anon and the White Hats, and the Pentagon Papers. The whole purpose of "The Sound of Freedom" seems aimed at rehabilitating the "Intelligence Agencies" and perhaps law enforcement.
Get that popcorn ready, but, in the meantime, be very, very, VERY wary of signing on to any damned fool idealistic crusades- to paraphrase Obi Wan Kenobi.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. You are our only hope!
