@VICENews reports that the rescue missions of Operation Underground Railroad — the focus of action movie "The Sound of Freedom" — were sometimes based on "intelligence" from a psychic medium. Here's more.

Tim Ballard, who was played by Jim Caviezel in the film "Sound of Freedom," departed from Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R) following an investigation into sexual misconduct claims. Ballard founded O.U.R in 2013 as an anti-sex-trafficking organization. He resigned on June 22 2023 and is rumored to be preparing for a Senate run.
“O.U.R. is dedicated to combatting sexual abuse, and does not tolerate sexual harassment or discrimination by anyone in its organization,” the organization tells VICE News.

On July 30, Deming saw a local caravan associated with the “Sound of Freedom” movie. The mayor attended. The main speaker dipped into #QAnon terrain. We found that locally some were not aware of the Q stuff, so we unpacked that a bit for this story. https://www.demingheadlight.com/2023/08/04/locals-organize-sound-freedom-caravan/

Sound of Freedom movie: How Jim Caviezel’s child-trafficking film misrepresents its subject.
"This is the exact point where a legitimate problem and dangerous conspiracy theory meet."

"Sound of Freedom" has been feted by Mel Gibson and Tony Robbins, is getting enthusiastic write-ups from faith-based publications, and has done better than expected at the box office. Vice News reports on the murky history of Operation Underground Railroad, the group mythologized in the movie.
