I heard a conspiracy theory that Far-Right Christian Extremists spent $100 million buying up tickets to this movie. That's why they don't need A/C or dimmed lights because no one is actually sitting in the theater. Also, Isn't it suspicious that there are two threads on this movie!? Which one is the real one? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A conspiracy theory about people believing conspiracy theories. Cool, right? The libs have got quite an imagination considering they're morons. I had some wild idea from.the beginning that this q-anon crap was a Democratic strategy operation. It'd make a hell of a lot of good sense to expose the hysteria of any group of people. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they cite unnamed "fact checkers" and "experts" throughout the piece. I think I'll do that when I submit my next paper for review. Any claim I make ill just say experts (me and those who agree with me) said so. End of story. But when someone who writes a critique of sound of freedom also is a pedophile....then thats just another Qanon conspiracy according to experts and fact checkers! Useful idiots like @PastaJoe are forever lost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArdmoreRyno Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Watched in on Tuesday and it's a GREAT movie. I don't see ANY aspect of the film as to why people on the left would be triggered. At all. Makes zero sense because it doesn't push any anti-left or pro-right ideology. It shows the operation that Tim Ballard took part in and what he did following his reignition from the Department of Homeland Security. NOTHING about politics in the film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the irony of funding a movie about child trafficking and then getting arrested for kidnapping an underage kid is so MAGA. Of course you fail to acknowledge the irony.

B-Man Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 12 hours ago, BillStime said: You really cannot make this up Apparently you can. And (of course) Billstime fell for it. There is nothing too low, nothing too sideways, nothing too GROSS for the Left to pull when it comes to smearing the movie, 'Sound of Freedom'. God forbid we actually all agree that SEX-TRAFFICKING IS WRONG and something we should talk about. But oh NO, they found one horrible human being out of several thousand (7000+) who donated to a GOFUNDME that allowed anyone to donate and claim he's a 'financier' of the film as a means to crap all over the very successful and powerful film. From Newsweek: One of the thousands of patrons of the crowdfunded anti-child trafficking film Sound of Freedom was recently arrested and charged for child kidnapping, according to a court filing and social media posts. Fabian Marta was charged with felony child kidnapping in July, while since-removed Facebook posts appear to show the same person revealing their pride in funding the film. Marta's name appears in the movie's credits among the "investors [who] helped bring Sound of Freedom to theaters." Along with the other donors. THOUSANDS. They even reported it in the story themselves. And financier? REALLY? According to Webster, the word financier means, 'a person concerned with the management of large amounts of money on behalf of governments or other large organizations.' Newsweek and Pop Crave both know damn well what they were doing. They wanted to make this guy out to be a key player for the film so they could use it to trash the Right. We honestly don't understand why they want to take the movie down so badly. And by all means, this man should be exposed. But it should be THE TRUTH. That he is in no way a financier and only one of thousands and thousands of people who donated hundreds of millions to the film. https://twitchy.com/samj/2023/08/04/newsweek-popcrave-sets-out-to-smear-sound-of-freedom-with-the-worst-yet-n2386004 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
