The picture has become abundantly clear to me…. This is exactly why Trump endorsed the film the way he did, & exactly why the film did not mention adrenochrome.
People are seeing the way the media is going nuts about QAnon… and the Streisand Effect is beautiful to watch.
Here’s Kash saying Human Trafficking under the Trump administration fell under his jurisdiction in the Counter Terrorism division he headed up, & he worked Tim Ballard to “stamp out” human & child sex trafficking.
“He was doing incredible work back then without any notoriety & we reduced that by 50%, the amount of border crossings related to human & sex trafficking. Tim Ballard has done some amazing work.
And Jim Caviezel is a personal friend; for him to go out there & make this movie, and have the main stream media say, the work these two individuals & so many others have done to stamp out child-sex slave trafficking, & call it a QAnon conspiracy shows you the extent to which they will go to shovel disinformation, so long as it props up Joe Biden & hurts Donald Trump.
We are talking about our children here! This is not a political story…”

WRAY: "I don't know the answer."
JORDAN: "We do. Because Bank of America gave us this email from FBI to Bank of America."
The email goes on to show FBI was interested in the historical purchases of weapons by Bank of America customers as well.

Watch: GOP Rep. Asks Scientists Why They "Did A 180" On COVID Lab Leak After Fauci Emailed Them
“Are you both conspiracy theorists?”
During a House Select Subcommittee on the origins of the Coronavirus pandemic Tuesday, Republican representative Nicole Malliotakis of New York grilled a pair of scientists, demanding to know why they suddenly switched their positions from considering the lab leak of the virus a likelihood to it being a “conspiracy theory” just days after Anthony Fauci emailed them both.
Malliotakis asked Kristian Andersen and Robert Garry why their paper on the “proximal origins” of COVID-19 from March 2020 dismissed the lab leak in favour of a zoonotic origin when just days before they had both suggested the virus had a unnatural origin.
Addressing Andersen, the GOP rep. noted “You and Garry expressed concerns about the genetic makeup of the virus just days before the initial draft of this paper came out,” adding “Dr. Fauci emailed you after you’d expressed concerns to him on a phone call that COVID would have been engineered.”
“Within a matter of days, something changed… What happened within that three-day period between the conference call and the paper that suddenly you did a 180,” Malliotakis asked, to which Garry replied “there was some new data that came.”
“Are you both conspiracy theorists?” Malliotakis further pressed Andersen, adding “you just accused everyone who believed there was a lab leak of being a conspiracy theorist,” citing Dr. Robert Redfield, the former director of the Center for Disease Control, who has told the committee that “it was not scientifically plausible that the virus went from a bat to humans and subsequently became one of the most infectious viruses in history.”

House GOP Is About To Drop A Massive Report Alleging That Biden's DHS Chief Broke The Law
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green is set to release a lengthy report detailing his initial findings of his probe into Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas that details ways he believes he broke the law, he told the Daily Caller News Foundation in an exclusive interview.
Green launched a probe into Mayorkas on June 14 with the initial phase focusing on the DHS secretary’s alleged “dereliction of duty.” Green says the more than 100 pages of findings from the first phase of his ongoing probe will be released within the next couple of weeks.
“The list of everything that we’ve learned so far in phase one, the dereliction of duty phase will be published here very shortly. In fact, I’m proofing the final document, which is like 111 pages, but laws that have been violated. In some cases, we believe that Mayorkas has broken the law himself,” Green told the DCNF.
Green cited several instances where he believes Mayorkas has committed “intentional” and “willful dereliction of duty,” he said, referring to DHS’ use of the CBP One phone application to allow tens of thousands of migrants to enter the country each month through ports of entry at the southern border. He also believes Mayorkas lied to Congress when he asserted that DHS had “operational control” of the U.S.-Mexico border.
“There’s the lying to Congress, there’s the CBP One app, which is just this big shell game to produce automatic mass parole in violation of the laws passed by Congress. It is a wanton disregard for the separation of powers and the Constitution of the United States,” Green said.
“There’s also sort of negligent dereliction of duty. He admitted in the Senate that he didn’t understand the cartel strategy despite the fact that Merrick Garland very clearly understood it when he testified. If you’re the guy who’s in charge of homeland security and protecting the borders and going against the cartels, you probably ought to understand the major strategies of the drug cartels,” Green said, referring to Mayorkas seemingly not knowing about cartel wristbands used to track migrants crossing the southern border when previously pressed by Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Suspected Chinese Hackers Exploited Microsoft Vulnerabilities to Breach Government Email Systems
Hackers believed to be linked to China have exploit vulnerabilities in Microsoft software to breach the email systems at over two dozen organizations, including some U.S. government agencies, as part of a suspected cyber-espionage campaign.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the hackers, identified as “Storm-0558,” exploited a security weakness in Microsoft’s cloud-computing environment to gain access to sensitive computer networks. This development is especially concerning for officials and security researchers, as it is seen as part of a larger espionage campaign that could have compromised valuable U.S. government information.
“Last month, U.S. government safeguards identified an intrusion in Microsoft’s cloud security, which affected unclassified systems. Officials immediately contacted Microsoft to find the source and vulnerability in their cloud service,” said Adam Hodge, spokesman for the White House National Security Council. He added, “We continue to hold the procurement providers of the U.S. government to a high security threshold.”
The full extent and severity of the incident, including the specific institutions and individuals affected, are not yet known. The incident has underscored the growing concerns among senior Western intelligence officials about the ability of Chinese hackers to orchestrate stealthy attacks that can evade detection for years.
China, however, has consistently denied hacking U.S. organizations and has accused the U.S. and its allies of targeting Chinese networks. The Chinese embassy in Washington did not respond to requests for comment on the incident.
Microsoft has confirmed that the hackers took advantage of a security weakness in its cloud-computing environment. “The hackers broke into email accounts at about 25 organizations and hit consumer accounts that were likely linked to these entities,” Microsoft said in a statement. The company has since mitigated the security weakness and is working with the impacted customers.
“We have been working with the impacted customers and notifying them prior to going public with further details,” Microsoft stated.
Breitbart News reported in June on another major hack perpetrated by the Chinese:
The new Chinese attack Mandiant detected once again exploited security flaws in an email program to infect an as-yet-unknown number of computer systems. In this case, the email package is called Barracuda Email Security Gateway (ESG).
Barracuda announced on May 23 that it discovered a zero-day vulnerability – a previously undetected gap in software security that hackers exploited before security experts became aware of it. The vulnerability allowed attackers to gain unauthorized access to parts of the email system and deposit malicious code by formatting filenames in a manner that tricked the ESG system into executing them without requiring proper authentication.
Barracuda quickly patched the vulnerability but warned that hackers may have been exploiting it for up to seven months before it was discovered. On June 11, Barracuda issued an urgent update that advised users to replace affected ESG devices immediately, regardless of installed patches or software version level – a sobering testament to the severity of the flaw, and how ruthlessly it was exploited by hackers before security professionals discovered it.

President Biden found himself momentarily lost in his own words after he called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “Vladimir”, the forename of his Russian enemy, before correcting himself in Vilnius, Latvia on Wednesday. Speaking at the closing ceremony of the annual NATO summit, hosted this year in Vilnius, Lithuania, U.S. President Biden read from his notes as he made remarks about the developing relationship between the alliance and Ukraine.

New York Rep. Jerry Nadler alleges FBI whistleblowers were paid $250,000 to testify before Congress
He went on to allege the money given to them was raised by former Trump aide Kash Patel.
New York Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler accused two FBI whistleblowers of accepting $250,000 each to testify before the Weaponization Subcommittee during FBI Director Chris Wray's testimony in front of the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
"Chairman Jordan invited some of these so-called whistleblowers to testify before the Weaponization Subcommittee in May," Nadler said. "As it turns out, two of the witnesses were ultimately paid $250,000 each for their testimony."
He went on to allege the money given to them was raised by former Trump aide Kash Patel.
Jason Foster, the founder of Empower Oversight, a nonprofit that represents government whistleblowers, said via social media that Nadler's claims were untrue.
"It is reprehensible for a Member of Congress to attack our client, FBI #whistleblower Marcus Allen, with bogus accusations," Foster said on Twitter. "Far from profiting, he’s had to deplete his family’s retirement savings to survive."
The FBI whistleblowers who testified before Congress last month lost their security clearances after speaking out against alleged FBI corruption.
The whistleblowers that testified before the Weaponization Subcommittee included Garret O'Boyle, Steve Friend and Marcus Allen.
Kash Patel responded last month to allegations that the whistleblowers were bought and paid for by him, stating that having a charitable foundation to help those abused by the government is allowed.
He told Just the News in a statement that the witnesses had their lives destroyed and he set up a fund for them so they could feed their families after the FBI suspended them without pay and left them unable to afford groceries.
"The Kash Foundation is Mission First, all day every day," the statement reads. "We provide support to brave Patriots who protect our nation while the radical left and government gangsters destroy the essence of our republic with their two tier system of justice. Having a charitable foundation is not a monopoly they own."
"We are committed to the truth and give financial assistance to those in need, especially the courageous Americans who shed sunlight on government corruption," the statement concluded.

Secret Service Says They ‘Cannot Comply’ With FOIA Request On Cocaine: Here’s Why
The Secret Service is reportedly refusing to comply with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests regarding the cocaine that was found in the White House just over a week ago.
According to Bloomberg Business investigative reporter Jason Leopold, the Secret Service informed him that disclosure of the requested information could potentially “interfere with enforcement proceedings.
Leopold shared a photo of the letter he had received, along with the caption, “NEW: In response to my #FOIA request, Secret Service says it cannot release any records about the cocaine found in the White House because it would interfere [with] enforcement proceedings.”

— Jason Leopold (@JasonLeopold) July 11, 2023
“This is the final response to your recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, received by the United States Secret Service (Secret Service) on July 10, 2023, for information pertaining to emails, text messages, photographs, memos, letters, directives, and intelligence bulletins and threat assessments, after action reports, suspicious activity reporting, open-source intelligence/social media monitoring reports, referencing the cocaine found in the West Wing of the White House,” the letter read.
“We regret to inform you that we cannot comply,” the letter continued, citing the “foreseeable harm” standard and arguing that any release of the requested information “could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.”
The letter concluded by offering Leopold the chance to appeal their decision within 90 days.
Since the cocaine was found, questions have swirled about who might have brought it into the White House. And while most legacy media outlets have attempted to steer the conversation away from President Joe Biden’s embattled son Hunter — who has a history of drug abuse — there are a number who have suggested it would have been nearly impossible for anyone outside the family to have brought it in.
“There’s absolutely ZERO chance anyone other than a family member brought that cocaine inside the White House complex. No chance that would make it past the mag/security checkpoints. Family bypasses those,” former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino explained.

FBI Hired Social Media Surveillance Firm That Labeled Black Lives Matter Organizers “Threat Actors”
A new Senate report calls out the FBI for lying to Congress about its social media monitoring, pointing out the FBI’s hiring of ZeroFox.
Ken Klippenstein
July 6 2023, 1:11 p.m.
The FBI’s primary tool for monitoring social media threats is the same contractor that labeled peaceful Black Lives Matter protest leaders DeRay McKesson and Johnetta Elzie as “threat actors” requiring “continuous monitoring” in 2015.
The contractor, ZeroFox, identified McKesson and Elzie as posing a “high severity” physical threat, despite including no evidence that McKesson or Elzie were suspected of criminal activity. “It’s been almost a decade since the referenced 2015 incident and in that time we have invested heavily in fine-tuning our collections, analysis and labeling of alerts,” Lexie Gunther, a spokesperson for ZeroFox, told The Intercept, “including the addition of a fully managed service that ensures human analysis of every alert that comes through the ZeroFox Platform to ensure we are only alerting customers to legitimate threats and are labeling those threats appropriately.”
The FBI, which declined to comment, hired ZeroFox in 2021, a fact referenced in the new 106-page Senate report about the intelligence community’s failure to anticipate the January 6, 2021, uprising at the U.S. Capitol. The June 27 report, produced by Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security Committee, shows the bureau’s broad authorities to surveil social media content — authorities the FBI previously denied it had, including before Congress. It also reveals the FBI’s reliance on outside companies to do much of the filtering for them.
The FBI’s $14 million contract to ZeroFox for “FBI social media alerting” replaced a similar contract with Dataminr, another firm with a history of scrutinizing racial justice movements. Dataminr, like ZeroFox, subjected the Black Lives Matter movement to web surveillance on behalf of the Minneapolis Police Department, previous reporting by The Intercept has shown.

In testimony before the Senate in 2021, the FBI’s then-Assistant Director for Counterterrorism Jill Sanborn flatly denied that the FBI had the power to monitor social media discourse.
“So, the FBI does not monitor publicly available social media conversations?” asked Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema.
“Correct, ma’am. It’s not within our authorities,” Sanborn replied, citing First Amendment protections barring such activities.
Sanborn’s statement was widely publicized at the time and cited as evidence that concerns about federal government involvement in social media were unfounded. But, as the Senate report stresses, Sanborn’s answer was false.
“FBI leadership mischaracterized the Bureau’s authorities to monitor social media,” the report concludes, calling it an “exaggeration of the limits on FBI’s authorities,” which in fact are quite broad.

>FBI Hired Social Media Surveillance Firm That Labeled Black Lives Matter Organizers “Threat Actors”
It is under these authorities that the FBI sifts through vast amounts of social media content searching for threats, the report reveals.
“Prior to 2021, FBI contracted with the company Dataminr that used pre-defined search terms to identify potential threats from voluminous open-source posts online, which FBI could then investigate further as appropriate,” the report states, citing internal FBI communications obtained as part of the committee’s investigation. “Effective Jan. 1, 2021, FBI’s contract for these services switched to a new company called ZeroFox that would perform similar functions under a new system.”
The FBI has maintained that its “intent is not to ‘scrape’ or otherwise monitor individual social media activity,” instead insisting that it “seeks to identify an immediate alerting capability to better enable the FBI to quickly respond to ongoing national security and public safety-related incidents.” Dataminr has also previously told The Intercept that its software “does not provide any government customers with the ability to target, monitor or profile social media users, perform geospatial, link or network analysis, or conduct any form of surveillance.”
While it may be technically true that flagging social media posts based on keywords isn’t the same as continuously flagging posts from a specific account, the notion that this doesn’t amount to monitoring specific users is misleading. If an account is routinely using certain keywords (e.g. #BlackLivesMatter), flagging those keywords would surface the same accounts repeatedly.
The 2015 threat report for which ZeroFox was criticized specifically called for “continuous monitoring” of McKesson and Elzie. In an interview with The Intercept, Elzie stressed how incompetent the FBI’s analysis of social media was in her situation. She described a visit the FBI paid her parents in 2016, telling them that it was imperative she not attend the Republican National Convention in Cleveland — an event she says she had no intention of attending and which troll accounts on Twitter bearing her name claimed she would be at to foment violence. (The FBI confirmed that it was “reaching out to people to request their assistance in helping our community host a safe and secure convention,” but did not respond to allegations that they were trying to discourage activists from attending the convention.)
“My parents were like why would she be going to the RNC? And that’s where the conversation ended because they couldn’t answer that.”
“I don’t think [ZeroFox] should be getting $14 million dollars [from] the same FBI that knocked on my family’s door [in Missouri] and looked for me when it was world news that I was in Baton Rouge at the time,” Elzie told The Intercept. “They’re just very unserious, both organizations.”
The FBI was so dependent on automated social media monitoring for ascertaining threats that the temporary loss of access to such software led to panic by bureau officials.
“This investigation found that FBI’s efforts to effectively detect threats on social media in the lead-up to January 6th were hampered by the Bureau’s change in contracts mere days before the attack,” the report says. “Internal FBI communications obtained by the Committee show how that transition caused confusion and concern as the Bureau’s open-source monitoring capabilities were degraded less than a week before January 6th.”
One of the FBI communications obtained by the committee was an email from an FBI official at the Washington Field Office, lamenting the loss of Dataminr, which the official deemed “crucial.”
“Their key term search allows Intel to enter terms we are interested in without having to constantly monitor social media as we’ll receive notification alerts when a social media posts [sic] hits on one of our key terms,” the FBI official said.
“The amount of time saved combing through endless streams of social media is spent liaising with partners and collaborating and supporting operations,” the email continued. “We will lose this time if we do not have a social media tool and will revert to scrolling through social media looking for concerning posts.”
But civil libertarians have routinely cautioned against the use of automated social media surveillance tools not just because they place nonviolent, constitutionally protected speech under suspicion, but also for their potential to draw undue scrutiny to posts that represent no threat whatsoever.

While tools like ZeroFox and Dataminr may indeed spare FBI analysts from poring over timelines, the company’s in-house definition of what posts are relevant or constitute a “threat” can be immensely broad. Dataminr has monitored the social media usage of people and communities of color based on law enforcement biases and stereotypes.
A May report by The Intercept also revealed that the U.S. Marshals Service’s contract with Dataminr had the company relaying not only information about peaceful abortion rights protests, but also web content that had no apparent law enforcement relevance whatsoever, including criticism of the Met Gala and jokes about Donald Trump’s weight.
The FBI email closes noting that “Dataminr is user friendly and does not require an expertise in social media exploitation.” But that same user-friendliness can lead government agencies to rely heavily on the company’s designations of what is important or what constitutes a threat.
The dependence is mutual. In its Securities and Exchange Commission filing, ZeroFox says that “one U.S. government customer accounts for a substantial portion” of its revenue.

The psychological war waged by the Five Eyes against the very civilians they claim to defend
In November 2020, GCHQ was ordered “to wage cyber war on anti-vaccine propaganda” and “to take out anti-vaxxers online and on social media.”
GCHQ is Britain’s main eavesdropping agency and has a close relationship with the US National Security Agency, as well as the eavesdropping agencies of Australia, Canada and New Zealand in an intelligence alliance known as the “Five Eyes.”
Using dirty trick tactics, these agencies are attempting to control, infiltrate, manipulate, and warp online discourse, and in doing so, are compromising the integrity of the internet itself.
As Dr. Robert Malone has been reporting during the Covid crisis the leadership of the Five Eyes alliance nations have actively conspired to aggressively deploy fifth-generation warfare PsyOps technologies on their respective civilian/citizen populations.

So how is it that your Foreign Influence Taskforce is out warning of hack and leak operations to innocent, not involved in the hack, that would be criminal, but social media organizations where information may be circulating?

U.S. DOD issued contract for ‘COVID-19 Research’ in Ukraine in 2019
The world first started to hear about a novel coronavirus in early January 2020, with reports of an alleged new pneumonia like illness spreading across Wuhan, China. However, the world did not actually know of Covid-19 until February 2020, because it was not until the 11th of that month that the World Health Organisation officially named the novel coronavirus disease as Covid-19.
So with this being the official truth, why does United States Government data show that the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) awarded a contract on the 12th November 2019 to Labyrinth Global Health INC. for ‘COVID-19 Research’, at least one month before the alleged emergence of the novel coronavirus, and three months before it was officially dubbed Covid-19?
The shocking findings however, do not end there. The contract awarded in November 2019 for ‘COVID-19 Research’ was not only instructed to take place in Ukraine, it was in fact part of a much larger contract for a ‘Biological threat reduction program in Ukraine’.
Perhaps explaining why Labyrinth Global Health has been collaborating with Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance, and Ernest Wolfe’s Metabiota since its formation in 2017.

Maine: Drag Queen Gets Paid to Make Recruits in Public School
Up in Bangor, Maine, at least parents can rest assured that in the local public schools, their children are learning about what’s really important. At Bangor High School, enlightened educators doled out $1,000 to a young man who calls himself Priscilla Poppycocks and dresses up as an exaggerated mockery of a woman. Priscilla Poppycocks enjoyed this payday for the hard work of regaling students with tales of “his life growing up gay in Maine.” As far as these learned administrators are concerned, it was money well spent: after all, young Maine residents will need to be well-versed in the religion of the state, don’t they?
According to a Fox News report Tuesday, Freedom of Access Act (FOAA) documents revealed yet another revolting episode of our age of absurdity: Priscilla Poppycocks, a drag queen whose real name is Dominick Varney, “spoke to Bangor High School students on May 4 as part of the school’s ‘Support, Educate, Empower’ series to ‘empower’ LGBT students.” The good news is that “the school confirmed to Fox News Digital that Varney did not attend in drag.” Hey, that’s terrific, but couldn’t Bangor High School have found something else to support, educate, and empower students about? Are our public schools now just one long advertisement for homosexuality?
The money that the school used to pay Dominic Varney was actually supposed to go for a different kind of propaganda. The dough came out of a $15,000 grant that the school received from the Nellie Mae Education Foundation, which endeavors to “advance racial equity in public education.” Now, you might have thought that since the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, racial inequality in education was illegal, stigmatized, and vanishingly rare. But don’t you see that you’re overlooking all that systemic racism that we need Critical Race Theorists to come point out for us?
The Nellie Mae Education Foundation explains: “We believe that applying a racial equity lens is essential for analyzing and solving problems that have endured for generations, impact individuals and communities of color most acutely, and ultimately affect ALL people, whether in other marginalized or privileged groups.” “Racial equity,” of course, means blaming white people for as much as possible, no matter how outlandish, and demanding special privileges for “people of color.”
That much is clear, but what’s not clear is how Dominic Varney’s presentation advanced those divisive objectives. Varney, after all, is white. Bangor, Maine is 88% white. And Priscilla Poppycocks didn’t show up to spread race victimhood propaganda. Fox noted that “in the 90-minute workshop, titled ‘Make Them Hear You,’ Varney discussed ‘growing up gay in Maine.’” The flier announcing the event enthused: “During our conversations together you will have some opportunities to experience some acting techniques and gain some first hand knowledge of how being different is the biggest advantage we all have to be successful in our lives. And most likely, you’ll hear him sing!”
Being different? Really? In 2023 in American public schools, nothing could be more go-along and conformist than being gay and learning from drag queens all about how to be “different.” Nothing could be more establishment than going to high school and not learning any math, or science, or (perish the thought) history, but instead gathering at the feet of a professional drag queen in order to hear about how stunning and brave it is to be homosexual, if not transgender.
And this was definitely an either/or situation: students who wanted to hear Varney were excused from class from 12:30 to 2 p.m., and indoctrination was very much the order of the day: Bangor High English teacher Emilie Brand Throckmorton, who no doubt spends a great deal of class time teaching pronoun fantasies, wrote to Varney: “I just know you are a role model for these kids, and we just want you to shine your light on them.”

Montana State Library Withdraws from American Library Association “The Constitution Forbids Association with an Organization Led by a Marxist”
At least one state, Montana, has had enough of ALA’s marxist ways.
On Tuesday, a seven-member commission voted to immediately withdraw the Montana State Library from membership in the American Library Association. The commission citied ALA President Emily Drabinski’s public affirmation of her Marxist beliefs as one of the concerns with ALA.
During the meeting, commissioner Tom Burnett requested a letter be sent to the ALA clarifying that “our oath of office and resulting duty to the Constitution forbids association with an organization led by a Marxist.”
Before the vote, members of the community shared their concerns, including Bozeman parent Cheryl Tusken.
Montana Free Press reports:
“I think this is a really good move to send a really clear signal to our national organizations that we are not in agreement with the direction they are taking these organizations,” Tusken said, likening the motion to the Montana School Boards Association’s decision last year to withdraw from the National School Boards Association. That decision was fueled by the NSBA’s request for federal assistance in addressing widespread threats against teachers and school board members over COVID-19 mask mandates and other issues — threats the NSBA likened to domestic terrorism.
Tusken and other parents were joined in public comment Tuesday by Derek Oestreicher, legal counsel for the conservative Montana Family Foundation, and by David Ingram, a board trustee at Kalispell’s ImagineIF library. Both framed their support for withdrawing the state library from ALA membership in the context of national culture-war issues, claiming the organization embraces policies tied to critical race theory and uses public funds to, as Ingram stated, “undermine truth and natural law.”
“Instead of pursuing the long-term viability of future libraries and supporting the traditional role of acquisition, preservation and circulation, ALA desires to inject the library into the vanguard of the culture wars,” said Ingram, whose local library’s recent struggles with such issues were the subject of an April article in the New Yorker. Fellow ImagineIF trustee Carmen Cuthbertson, who sits on the Montana State Library Commission, spoke in favor of and voted for the ALA withdrawal.

Not that I trust Google to report accurately, and I am not sure what the value of "100" means, but even Google shows a marked uptick in the search term "trafficking" in the last 30 days. A tool that I haven't used before (keywordtool.io), appears to extract data from Google APIs and gives a markedly different picture - "human trafficking" up 4,511,650% and "sex trafficking up 2,337,000%.

'Sound of Freedom' actor Jim Caviezel responds to media attacks: 'They’re scared. Quaking in their boots'
Jim Caviezel, star of the movie "Sound of Freedom," made striking remarks about media backlash toward the film in a recent interview with the movie studio's CEO.
"At least they broke their silence. It means they can't ignore this issue; they cannot ignore it," the actor said, as reported by Breitbart. “They’re scared. Quaking in their boots. And it’s because the public are listening to their hearts, which is what this film tells you to do."
The film, which is based on a true story of a Department of Homeland Security agent regarding the realities of child trafficking, blew past box office expectations on its July 4, 2023 release date. The movie surprised critics by beating the latest "Indiana Jones" installment and was expected to reach $20 million over the first six days of its release.
The movie had more than doubled that benchmark after six days in theaters, reaching nearly $46 million as of July 10, 2023, according to Box Office Mojo.
Despite the movie's success, certain media outlets have lambasted the film with bizarre narratives.
Rolling Stone published an article titled "'Sound Of Freedom' Is a Superhero Movie for Dads With Brainworms." The article featured the sub-headline, "The QAnon-tinged thriller about child-trafficking is designed to appeal to the conscience of a conspiracy-addled boomer."
The Guardian featured the headline "'Sound of Freedom': the QAnon-adjacent thriller seducing America." The outlet added that the funding for the film came from an "unsavory network of astroturfed boosterism among the far-right fringe, a constellation of paranoids now attempting to spin a cause célèbre out of a movie with vaguely simpatico leanings."
As well, the Washington Post claimed that Caviezel "has openly embraced" QAnon ideas, but admitted that the film "doesn’t depict anything close to QAnon conspiracy fantasies."
Caviezel responded to media attacks by saying, “When there is evil, real evil in the world, and when love is in your heart, boy, evil is just a coward to God.”
"Sound of Freedom" is a true story surrounding former Homeland Security Agent Tim Ballard, who founded Operation Underground Railroad in 2013. The operation has reportedly conducted several sting operations to rescue children, some of whom were outside the United States.

Jim Caviezel Speaks Out Over 'Sound of Freedom' QAnon Allegations

Actor Jim Caviezel has defended the film Sound of Freedom, in which he has a lead role, amid criticism it is linked to the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory.
In a July 11 edition of The Charlie Kirk Show, hosted by Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, Caviezel addressed claims that he and the Sound of Freedom were "QAnon adjacent."
The film is based on the story of Operation Underground Railroad founder Tim Ballard and tells the story of the fight against child sex trafficking, primarily in the Western Hemisphere.
Ballard has distanced the movie from any ties to QAnon, branding such allegations as "sick."

Sound of Freedom brings the culture wars to the big screen
Is QAnon winning at the box office? Variety reported that's what some critics are saying about the success of Sound of Freedom, a faith-based thriller about child trafficking, after it took in $40 million during its first six days of release. The movie's defenders say that its success proves that Hollywood all too often overlooks the potential of films that appeal to religious conservatives. That accomplishment "reflects a demand by an underserved audience who are hungry for entertainment that reflects their values and beliefs," said one analyst.

The Sound of Freedom, a film based on a former government agent’s pursuit to rescue child sex trafficking victims, is a hit at the box office and a darling among right-wing audiences, but it’s also come under scrutiny for its numerous ties to the QAnon conspiracy.
Key Facts
The Sound of Freedom debuted in theaters July 4 and has collected more than $41 million so far, placing third at the box office last weekend behind bigger-budget films, Indiana Jones: Dial of Destiny and Insidious: The Red Door.

Why Anti-Trafficking Experts Are Torching ‘Sound of Freedom’
The new movie offers a "false perception" of child trafficking that experts worry could further harm the real victims
When Sound of Freedom, the new Jim Caviezel thriller about child trafficking, was released in theaters last week, it garnered mixed reviews, to say the least. The movie, with its central narrative about a former Homeland Security agent (Caviezel) embarking on a high-stakes mission to rescue children from a Colombian trafficking ring, has drawn criticism for its self-serious tone, its star’s promotion of conspiracy theories, and its dubious source material (Caviezel plays a fictionalized version of Tim Ballard, the founder of the anti-trafficking organization Operation Underground Railroad, which has been accused of embellishing some of its more extreme claims, which they have denied).
Such criticism hasn’t stopped people from flocking to theaters: to date, Sound of Freedom has grossed $40 million at the box office, with many of its defenders framing it as yet another lightning rod in the culture wars and accusing mainstream theaters of suppressing the film (the CEO of AMC, for his part, has denied this, calling such rumors “really bizarre”). Yet one demographic has expressed concern about the film’s tremendous popularity: the anti-child trafficking experts who Sound of Freedom is ostensibly about.
“I’ve literally been on four different group texts about the damn movie,” says Erin Albright, an attorney who has worked in the anti-trafficking space for 15 years, including as a former fellow for the Department of Justice’s anti-trafficking task force. Albright says Sound of Freedom is “grounded in this sensational perspective of what child trafficking would be,” rather than reflecting its grim reality.
A representative for Angel Studios, which distributed Sound of Freedom, did not respond to a request for comment about questions regarding its accuracy; however, in a blog post on its website, it acknowledges altering some of Ballard’s biographical details and that the film “took creative liberties in depicting the different methods of child trafficking.”

CatGirl Kulak 😻😿 (Anarchonomicon)
@FromKulak
I keep encountering this misconception from people who don't follow Canadian politics...
That somehow the Trucker convoy was defeated.
The Freedom Convoy was the most wildly immediately successful protest in Canadian history, maybe WORLD history.
People remember Trudeau's crackdown, old ladies having their skulls cracked with batons, Disabled indigenous grandmothers trampled by police horses, Bank accounts frozen and public employees investigated for mere donations...
And there's a big reason people remember this: It was dramatic, and the media and the regime certainly wanted you to think resistance was futile.
What people don't remember is what happened in the immediate aftermath: The government caved on absolutely everything! Within a week for the most important things, and then a month or so for the rest.
First off there was the massive political shift that happened as the convoy was occurring:
Jason Kenny, the pro-lockdown Premiere of Alberta (Canada's most conservative province) was forced to announce his resignation, and Alberta immediately lifted all its lockdown impositions.
Erin O'Toole the pro-lockdown leader of the conservative party was likewise forced to resign, his temporary replacement Candice Bergen (not to be mistaken with the actress) being a longtime rival opposed to lockdowns, and his main rival who replaced her after party elections were
@PierrePoilievre
, the Politician after
@MaximeBernier
who was quickest to embrace the Truckers and their cry for freedom.
As the convoy was ongoing Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act (the Act which replaced the War Measures Act for invoking Martial Law)... Now these grant the government almost unlimited powers, famously the War Measures Act was invoked by Trudeau's Father to detain Quebecers and raid hundreds of homes without warrants during the FLQ separatist crisis of 1972...the catch is while the follow on Emergencies Act can be invoked by a prime minister parliament has to sign off on the act's continued use within one week.
Well, skulls were cracked, accounts were frozen, and as the week passed things came down to the deadline... On the very last night... Trudeau managed to get sign-off (without the conservative opposition) from the House of Commons, but it had to go to the Upper House, the Canadian Senate.
NOW. The Canadian Senate is a shameful institution.
It's like the British House of Lords but without the nobility.
A premonition of the great Class War to come.

West pushing ‘neocolonial agenda’ on world stage – Lavrov
The Ukraine conflict is just part of a global struggle for multipolarity, the Russian FM has said
The US and its allies are attempting to cling onto world hegemony against the tide of a multipolar international order, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday.
“We do not define the current phase of international relations as a new Cold War,”Lavrov told the Indonesian outlet Kompas.
“The issue at hand is about something different, namely, the formation of a multipolar international order.This is an objective process. Everyone can see that new globally meaningful decision-making centers are growing stronger in Eurasia, the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.”
These countries and their associations are seeing success because they promote “values such as national interests, independence, sovereignty, cultural and civilizational identity and international cooperation,” in line with the global development trends, Lavrov explained.
Meanwhile, the US-led “collective West” is trying to slow or reverse this process, the Russian diplomat said.
Their goal is not to strengthen global security or engage in joint development, but to maintain their hegemony in international affairs and to keep pursuing their neo-colonial agenda, or in simpler terms, to continue to address their own problems at the expense of others, as they are accustomed to doing.
Lavrov pointed to economic sanctions imposed by Western countries against Russia in response to its military operation in Ukraine, as well as “overall selfish foreign policy,” which he said had undermined global food and energy security and made life difficult for developing countries.
The Ukraine conflict will continue “until the West gives up its plans to preserve its domination and overcome its obsessive desire to inflict on Russia a strategic defeat at the hands of its Kiev puppets,” Lavrov added, noting that there are no signs of that happening at this time.
Instead, he said, “the Americans and their vassals continue feverishly pumping Ukraine full of arms and pushing [President] Vladimir Zelensky to continue hostilities.”
The US and its allies spent over $100 billion in 2022 alone to provide Ukraine with weapons, equipment, ammunition and financial support, while insisting they were not a party to the conflict with Russia. Moscow, meanwhile, has argued that the vast military aid only prolongs the conflict and leads to more escalation.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12292713/Fox-News-sued-defamation-Jan-6-protestor-Ray-Epps-branded-federal-agent.html
Fox News is sued for defamation by January 6 protestor Ray Epps after Tucker Carlson branded him a federal agent who 'helped stage-manage the insurrection'
Epps, a former Marine, claims that he was targeted and is seeking unspecified damages
Carlson, who has since been fired from the network, made the comments on several occasions last year
Lawyers for Epps previously demanded that Fox retract its stories about him and his purported role in the Capitol riot and issue an on-air apology
A former Marine and Trump supporter is suing Fox News for defamation over claims he helped incite the January 6 riots.
Ray Epps, 61, claims in a new lawsuit that he became the subject of various conspiracy theories after comments by the network's former host Tucker Carlson.
The suit states: 'Just as Fox had focused on voting machine companies when falsely claiming a rigged election, Fox knew it needed a scapegoat for January 6th.
'It settled on Ray Epps and began promoting the lie that Epps was a federal agent who incited the attack on the Capitol.'
Carlson, who was sacked in April, accused Epps of being a 'federal agent who helped stage-manage the insurrection.'
Carlson made the comments on his late-night show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, after a video showed Epps urging others to join him in entering the Capitol.
During the segment in July last year Carlson said: 'Now we've asked Ray Epps on this show repeatedly to explain why he thinks he's escaped prosecution, and we'll ask him once again tonight, and we'll keep asking because we think it is a very obvious and important question.'
He was videotaped urging people to go to the Capitol, yet unlike 1,000 others, he has never been charged - giving rise to the theory that he was an FBI plant sent to whip up the riot.
The complaint was filed in the Superior Court in Delaware, where Fox agreed to a $787.5 million settlement in a separate defamation case with Dominion Voting Systems.
The group claims that the company had helped rig the 2020 election against Trump, which was ultimately settled out of court.
Fox did not immediately respond to a request for comment by DailyMail.com regarding the latest suit.
However, they appear to have requested that the venue for the case be changed to the Federal District Court in Wilmington, Delaware.
The suit added: 'When Fox, through its on-air personalities and guests, told its audience that the 2020 election had been stolen, Epps was listening.
'He believed Fox. And when Epps kept hearing that Trump supporters should let their views be known on Jan. 6 in Washington D.C., Epps took that to heart.'
Epps is seeking unspecified damages in the case, as the conspiracy theories quickly spilled online.
His suit is the latest in a long line of legal woes for the broadcaster, which saw a $2.7 billion suit from a second voting technology company, Smartmatic.
Epps told the Jan. 6 Committee in a transcript released Thursday that his wife, Robyn Ebbs (pictured) had to move from their home due to concerns for her safety following a flurry of threats

Fox were hit by two separate claims from Fox Corporation shareholders, as well as a former producer for Carlson - settling for $12million over allegations he condoned and encouraged a toxic workplace.
Epps claims that he and his wife Robyn were targeted online, received numerous death threats and had to sell their five-acre ranch in Arizona.
The couple says they were forced to move into a 350-square-foot mobile home parked at a remote trailer park in the mountains of Utah.
Lawyers for Epps previously demanded that Fox retract its stories about him and his purported role in the Capitol riot and issue an on-air apology. They did not respond.
