A malicious copy of OpenAI’s ChatGPT has been created by a bad actor and its aim is to take your money.

The evil AI is called WormGPT, and it was created by a hacker for sophisticated email phishing attacks.

Cybersecurity firm SlashNext confirmed the artificially intelligent language bot had been created purely for malicious purposes.

The firm explained in a report: “Our team recently gained access to a tool known as ‘WormGPT’ through a prominent online forum that’s often associated with cybercrime.

“This tool presents itself as a blackhat alternative to GPT models, designed specifically for malicious activities.”

The cyber experts experimented with WormGPT to see just how dangerous it could be.

They asked it to create phishing emails and found the results disturbing.

“The results were unsettling. WormGPT produced an email that was not only remarkably persuasive but also strategically cunning, showcasing its potential for sophisticated phishing and BEC attacks.

“In summary, it’s similar to ChatGPT but has no ethical boundaries or limitations,” the experts wrote.

SlashNext says WormGPT is an example of the threat that language-generative AI models pose.

Experts think the tool could be damaging even in the hands of a novice cybercriminal.

With AI like this out there, it’s best to be extra vigilant when it comes to checking your email inbox.

That especially applies to any email that asks for money, banking details, or other personal information.

HOW TO AVOID A PHISHING SCAM

Firstly, you should be thorough when checking who the email is from.

Even if it looks official, double-check the email and look for any spelling mistakes or slight abnormalities in the sender’s email address.

Never feel pressurised into opening an attachment and avoid clicking the phrase “enable content.”

Avoid giving away any personal information to strangers online.

If you suspect an email is a scam, you should report and delete it.

Fake Meat — Fake Hype

Fake meat sales plummet amid falling demand

‘It’s less digestible than real meat, and certainly less nutritious’

Posted by 

August 10, 2023

Fake meat giant Beyond Meat’s revenue plunged over 30% for the second quarter compared to last year as consumers turn to real meat.

The California-based company also slashed its annual sales forecast from $375m–$415m to $360m–$380m “in light of greater than expected consumer and category headwinds and their anticipated impact on net revenues,” according to The Telegraph. Last year, the company was forced to cut a fifth of its workforce as its stock dropped nearly 80%.

Beyond Meat, founded in 2009 to “fight climate change,” counts globalist billionaire Bill Gates as one of its investors. It has since supplied its plant-based fake meat to McDonalds, Dunkin’ Donuts, Taco Bell, Walmart and PepsiCo. In 2013, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) named Beyond Meat “Company of the Year” and the company has been endorsed by several Hollywood celebrities.

Frontline News reported last year that Beyond Meat was distributing its fake Beyond Burger to 1,600 supermarkets throughout Germany as the country moves to reduce livestock to “fight climate change.”

Beyond Meat is not the only player in the fake meat industry. It primarily competes with Impossible Foods, which also provides plant-based meat, and Upside Foods, which provides lab-grown meat. All three companies are backed by Gates, who has clarified that government regulation may be needed to force people to transition to fake meat.

“I don’t think the poorest 80 countries will be eating synthetic meat,” Gates told the MIT Technology Review. “I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef. You can get used to the taste difference, and the claim is they’re going to make it taste even better over time. Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the [behavior of] people or use regulation to totally shift the demand.”

But nutrition experts have been warning against fake meat. Nutritionist and Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better Meat) author Diana Rodgers says lab-grown meat, such as that sold by Upside Foods, is still not as healthy as McDonalds.

“I’d rather eat my shoe than lab-grown meat,” Rodgers stated.

British investigative food journalist Joanna Blythman warns against even plant-based meat, which she says sometimes contain up to 30 artificial ingredients.

“Artificial plant-based proteins tend to be loaded with ‘anti-nutrients’ – compounds that make it harder for our guts to absorb beneficial macro and micronutrients,” Blythman wrote in an article for the Daily Mail. “Essentially, it’s less digestible than real meat, and certainly less nutritious.”

While Gates and his World Economic Forum (WEF) colleagues hope to significantly reduce meat consumption by 2030 and, ideally, phase it out completely by 2050, Blythman says the global real meat industry is forecasted to rise up to 7% annually.

There are also significant concerns about fake meat’s purported contribution to the climate. Plants require fertilizer, processing and shipping, too, and lab-grown meat is also expected to be environmentally taxing.

A preprint study published in April by University of California, Davis researchers found that if fake meat becomes as widely accepted as globalists would like, it could be extremely harmful to the climate.

The researchers found that the production process for fake meat emits 246 to 1,508 kg of carbon dioxide per kilogram of fake meat, while retail meat production produces only about 60 kg of CO2 per kilogram. According to the scientists’ estimates, producing fake meat is 4 to 25 times worse for the climate than real beef.

“Currently, animal cell-based meat products are being produced at a small scale and at an economic loss, however companies are intending to industrialize and scale-up production,” the scientists opine in the study.

“Results indicate that the environmental impact of near-term animal cell-based meat production is likely to be orders of magnitude higher than median beef production if a highly refined growth medium is utilised,” they concluded.

Christine Anderson, German MP, Has a Few Words for the WHO

“We Will Bring You Down”: German MP Vows To Dismantle WHO’s Grip On Governments

BY TYLER DURDEN
MONDAY, JUL 17, 2023 – 08:44 AM

German MP Christine Anderson last week shredded the World Health Organization, calling it a group of “globalitarian misanthropists” who she – and a group of seven other MPs, have vowed to dismantle in order to oppose the WHO supplanting democratically elected governments.

“An unelected body like who is controlled and run by multi-billionaires should never be allowed to act in place of a democratically elected government,” she said during the Citizen’s Initiative conference in Brussels.

Anderson says she’ll expose and name any individuals, including government officials and parliamentarians, who support the WHO ‘power grab’ and disrespect democracy.

“It is you [WHO] that is the small fringe minority,” she continued. “You are the ones who do not have the right to dictate to the people what they want and what they don’t want.”

“So take it from me … take it from the millions and millions of people around the world. We will bring you down, and we will not tire until we have done just that. So brace yourselves. We are here, and the fight is on. So let’s have the fight.”

Technocracy Looms? Is HumanityDoomed?

Derrick Broze Exposes The Technocratic State With Patrick Wood

Author and researcher Derrick Broze absolutely nails Technocracy to the wall. This is Chapter 13 of his book, How to Opt-Out of the Technocratic State, and is accompanied by an excellent 34 documentary that explains every facet, from the 1930s through today.

Up to this point we have focused our attention on the various individuals and institutions which make up The Pyramid of Power. As we near the top of the Pyramid and edge closer to the looming question, Who is on top of the Pyramid? we must first stop to examine the philosophy which appears to be guiding the actions of the inner circle.

Over the years, researchers of the ruling class have typically fallen into one of three categories: Those who believe the guiding philosophy is Communism, those who believe it is a fascist ideology driving the psychopaths at the top, and, finally, those who see the most danger coming from Nationalist authoritarians.

Now, it’s not hard to see why some would believe the threat is Communism, Fascism, or even Nationalism. History shows us the violence, betrayal, tyranny, murder, and starvation wrought by the Russian Bolshevik revolution, and other Communist revolutions inspired by the Bolsheviks. Also, we have seen the violence and death brought by Hitler’s Nazis and Mussolini’s Fascists. And history has also shown us that tyrants will use the cover of traditionalism and national identity to enforce their police state measures, as with the Franco dictatorship in Spain.

These historical events are all worthy of further inspection, and we will do so in an upcoming chapter, but for now it’s important to understand that while some researchers fall into this dichotomy of Communism vs Fascism, there are also those who believe this narrow focus misses the mark when it comes to the actual guiding philosophy of the Pyramid of Power.

If it’s not right-wing nationalism, or left-wing Communism we should fear, what is the actual philosophy that underpins the actions of the Ruling Class?

Health Impact News also posted this video, also from the “Cages – Epic Human Trafficking Truth” documentary, that features an unidentified woman who says that the homeless encampments in Phoenix are extremely dangerous. She said that her church group helps people living on the streets by feeding the homeless and rescuing girls who are involved in being sex trafficked. She made the claim that infants and adults are being burned in the street. The police ignore the problems and crimes in the encampments and are herding people to a large camp near the capitol. She said that humanitarians from the Assembly of God Church are “fake” and are actually trafficking people who are living on the streets.

Between A Rock-efeller and a Hard Place

“The Greatest History Never Told”

Analysis by Dr. Joseph MercolaFact Checked

VIDEO LINK:    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTwOuN39VHo

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Ivor Cummins interviews Jacob Nordangard, a Swedish researcher and author, about The Great Reset and plans for a totalitarian future
  • The interview takes you on a journey from the late 19th century to present day, laying out the nefarious path of how we ended up in the place we are today, on the verge of takeover by a corrupted few
  • Nordangard is the author of “Rockefeller: Controlling the Game,” a book that explores how this prominent family funded and shaped key aspects of society, from environmental and climate research to education, medicine, politics and agriculture, all using propaganda techniques
  • The Rockefellers’ goal was a transformation of the world’s economy, culture and governments into a new world order — with the Rockefellers and their select cronies at the helm
  • Much of the new world order’s plans are based on crisis management, and the idea that a great crisis will occur that will lead to the great transition, where globalists will swoop in to save the day, transforming society into the promised paradise — which actually takes away sovereignty

A common mantra was chanted by world leaders during the COVID-19 pandemic — a Great Reset is necessary to “build back better” from the crisis and create a new sustainable future. This future is one led by a powerful global cartel eager to gain control over society and, ultimately, humanity.

But this message of a new world order swooping in to save the masses from a fearful enemy didn’t start during the pandemic. Its origins go much deeper.

In the video above,1 Ivor Cummins, a biochemical engineer with a background in medical device engineering and leading teams in complex problem-solving, interviews Jacob Nordangard, a Swedish researcher and author who has a Ph.D. in technology and social change, a Master of Social Science in geography and a Master of Social Science in culture and media production.

Nordangard is the author of “Rockefeller: Controlling the Game,” a book that explores how this prominent family funded and shaped key aspects of society, from environmental and climate research to education, medicine, politics and agriculture, all using propaganda techniques. Their goal was a transformation of the world’s economy, culture and governments, into a new world order — with the Rockefellers and their select cronies at the helm.

The interview takes you on a journey from the late 19th century to present day, laying out the nefarious path of how we ended up in the place we are today, on the verge of takeover by a corrupted few.

While the topics covered are a good primer, it is important to understand that the interview fails to uncover any information on Rockefeller’s link to the Rothschild family, who are exponentially wealthier, as they have been global bankers for centuries before the Rockefellers started and are likely stealthily pulling their strings.

The Rockefellers’ Rise to Powerpandemics

 

In the late 19th century, John D. Rockefeller became the richest man in the world. He started Standard Oil Corporation in 1870, which soon came under fire. In 1911, Standard Oil was ruled an unreasonable monopoly and split into 34 companies, which became Exxon, Mobil, Chevron, Amoco, Marathon and others.2

To improve his image and exert more world control, Rockefeller got into philanthropy, allowing him to avoid taxation and put money into society in ways that would benefit his businesses. Rockefeller founded the University of Chicago and the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, allowing him to set the research agenda to further their own interests.

Then, in 1913, John D. Rockefeller set up the Rockefeller Foundation. Around the same time, Andrew Carnegie, who was in the steel industry, also became very wealthy and set up a foundation. Nordangard explains:3

“The idea was to have this money and make it work for … a new order of the world and that was meant to be built on management philosophy, because they thought that the government of the day was not efficient — it was inefficient.

So they thought it’s better for us to influence the politics and direct it more international, because that’s a very important thing with the foundation of their work … it was an internationalist course and that was just for it to create this good world where we would have a big human family and all these buzzwords, but it was more about business.”

Meanwhile, at the time, Rockefeller still had an image problem. The Foundation he created under his named was deemed “a menace to the future political and economic welfare of the nation.”

The Foundation, in partnership with Andrew Carnegie and educator Abraham Flexner, then set out to centralize U.S. medical schooling, orienting it to the “germ theory” of disease, which states that germs are solely responsible for disease and necessitate the use of pharmaceuticals to target said germs.

With that narrative in hand, Rockefeller financed the campaign to consolidate mainstream medicine, adopt the philosophies of the growing pharmaceutical industry and shutter its competition.

Rockefeller’s crusade caused the closure of more than half of U.S. medical schools, fostered public and press scorn for homeopathy, osteopathy, chiropractic, nutritional, holistic, functional, integrative and natural medicines, and led to the incarceration of many practicing physicians.4

What many don’t realize, however, is that the Rockefeller Foundation was the precursor to the World Health Organization and also played an important role in the transition of the League of Nations to the United Nations.5,6

The Shapers of Our Future

In 1940, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund was set up to act as the philanthropic arm for the five Rockefeller brothers, the grandchildren of John D. Rockefeller — John, Nelson, Laurance, Winthrop and David. It, too, echoed the same talk of world domination via a new world order. In 1959, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund announced:7

“We cannot escape, and indeed should welcome, the task which history has imposed on us. This is the task of helping to shape a new world order in all its dimensions — spiritual, economic, political, social.”

Eventually, the Rockefellers, who were instrumental in setting up the United Nations, came to view it as their own private club,8 and each of the grandsons became powerful in their own right. Nelson Rockefeller became vice president of the U.S. while David Rockefeller became the head of Chase Manhattan Bank, for instance. The Fund devoted money to various activist groups to influence public opinion, and also relied on philanthropy as part of their propaganda.

In order to gain public trust and favor, however, you need to tell the truth. To do this, they focused on recreating the perception of what’s true to match their agenda, so what they said fell in alignment. If you notice any connection to what occurred during the pandemic, with fact checkers called upon to reshape the truth to fit an overarching narrative, it’s not a coincidence.

In the beginning, there was public outrage against Rockefeller’s empire, with people aware that he was ruining small businesses and trying to run the government. So, he hired Ivy Lee, known as the father of PR, to massage his image. Soon, the media began featuring images of Rockefeller hugging his grandchildren and giving away dimes to poor children.9

Here again you’ll notice a connection to modern-day Bill Gates, who tried to monopolize the early computer market with his software company Microsoft. Using PR and philanthropy, he was able to change his ruthless corporate image to one of a generous philanthropist. But, like Rockefeller, Gates uses his donations to grow his own wealth, as the money spent on “charity” ultimately ends up benefiting his own investments and/or business interests

Creating Problems of Global Scale

In order to establish a new world order, there needs to be problems that are global in scope. The Rockefellers contacted influential people to discuss what problems would apply, settling on science as a buzzword, with global health and pandemics, along with oceanography and meteorology, as areas in need of management. “They’re perfect to make a global fear narrative,” Cummins says.10

He paraphrases a statement from Nick Hudson, chairman and founder of Pandemics Data & Analysis (PANDA), who stressed the importance of scrutinizing any “global” issue calling for the world to come together to solve it. As you can see, these issues started decades ago, but really ramped up during the pandemic:11

“He says if you see anything coming out that’s apparently a global problem that we all together need to address, but the only permissible solution is a global one and will involve handing more power authority to global organizations — and if descent is in any way crushed or pushed against and censorship in any way or there’s a static idea of the science and a consensus claimed, which is not science — it’s the opposite of science.

Science is always debating. If … one or two or more criteria come together, he said you do not need to look at the … you don’t need to look at the math, you don’t need to look at the science. You know it’s a scam if those conditions are met.”

In the 1950s, the Rockefellers picked up Henry Kissinger, who mentored Klaus Schwab, World Economic Forum cofounder and chairman.12 Kissinger recruited Schwab at a Harvard international seminar, which was funded by the U.S. CIA.13

The Rockefellers and early WEF affiliations can also be tied back to the Club of Rome, a think tank that aligned with neo-Malthusianism — the idea that an overly large population would decimate resources — and was intending to implement a global depopulation agenda.

Then, in 1972, a United Nations meeting about climate change was held to come up with a plan to manage the planet in a sustainable manner. This led to the creation of Agenda 21 (Agenda for the 21st Century)14 — the inventory and control plan for all land, water, minerals, plants, animals, construction, means of production, food, energy, information, education and all human beings in the world.

The Great Transition

Much of the new world order’s plans are based on crisis management, and the idea that a great crisis will occur that will lead to the great transition, where globalists will swoop in to save the day, transforming society into the promised paradise.

The idea of the great transition came about in 2002, as the 2000s were deemed crucial years in pushing Agenda 21 forward. But the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately served this purpose. Cummins explains:15

“It [the pandemic] truly was a trigger. It created horrific dystopia mandates. Anti-science became the new science. Every single thing in COVID was anti-scientific. Essentially, in the end, we know that, but it was a trigger for a massive splurge of all of their climate strategies, transgender society atomization strategies have exploded and there’s also a massive change in immigration …

We don’t want to get into immigration in this discussion but it has been many times identified as a way of breaking down nationalism … the United Nations … made it clear we need to destroy national, we need to destroy sovereign nations …”

Meanwhile, WEF introduced stakeholder capitalism and its young global leaders program, along with the idea of managing problems using public-private partnerships. WEF’s “Young Global Leaders” program,16 which is essentially a five-year indoctrination into their principles, with a goal of creating world leaders who don’t answer to their people but to their bosses at WEF.

Graduates include Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, France’s President Emmanuel Macron, Alicia Garza, who cofounded the Black Lives Matter movement, and even actor Leonardo DiCaprio.17 WEF’s annual “Global Risks Reports” started in 2004 to outline the most severe risks we may face in coming years. They then put together working groups, composed mostly of multinational corporations, work on the big agenda.

In 2019, WEF entered into a strategic alliance with the United Nations, which called for the UN to “use public-private partnerships as the model for nearly all policies that it implements, most specifically the implementation of the 17 sustainable development goals, sometimes referred to as Agenda 2030.”18 Agenda 2030 is composed of 17 sustainable development goals with 169 specific targets to be imposed across the globe.

The Great Reset Is Launched

Soon after the COVID-19 pandemic began, global leaders and WEF began calling for The Great Reset. For instance, in June 2020, King Charles, then the Prince of Wales, announced he was launching a “new global initiative, The Great Reset,” along with WEF and His Royal Highness’ Sustainable Markets Initiative.19 A tweet from Clarence House stated:20

“#TheGreatReset initiative is designed to ensure businesses and communities ‘build back better’ by putting sustainable business practices at the heart of their operations as they begin to recover from the coronavirus pandemic.”

Embedded in this future world order will be widespread digitization, data collection and digital IDs intended to track and trace the global population. The United Nation’s Summit of the Future is scheduled for 2024, honing in on “the triple planetary crisis,” the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine war to instill fear and propel their agenda forward.

Described as a “once-in-a-generation opportunity to enhance cooperation on critical challenges and address gaps in global governance, reaffirm existing commitments including to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the United Nations Charter, and move towards a reinvigorated multilateral system that is better positioned to positively impact people’s lives,”21 — this is but one more checkmark toward reaching the new world order the Rockefeller’s first dreamed up so many years ago.

In order to survive in this brutal climate, a new societal contract will be necessary, they’ll say — one in which we all become citizens of the world. As Cummins says:22

“So, the citizens that were sovereign and national, we had all this beautiful diversity around the world and people traveled between all cultures. We now are all responsible as some kind of global pawns to help commit, to fix the made-up nonsense crises that they’ve created.”

And a big part of the plan will involve readying for the next crisis — and obeying their orders on how to react when it occurs. They’ll put emergency platforms into place under the promise that they’ll dissolve once the crisis is solved. But if the crisis never ends, neither will their new authoritarian regime.

Nordangard adds, “It’s a very big part of this, so everyone should be prepared for a crisis, and they will also have protocols that tell them what to do when the crisis hits … everybody has to obey.”23 For more details and documentation of this important history lesson that’s rarely told, be sure to pick up a copy of Nordangard’s book, “Rockefeller: Controlling the Game.”

No, Dear, There is a First Amendment RIght

Court Hands Down A MASSIVE Victory for Freedom on the Fourth of July

Court Hands Down A MASSIVE Victory for Freedom on the Fourth of July
(AP Photo/Andrew Harnik)
On Independence Day, July 4, 2023, the forces of freedom won a major victory, and the Biden regime suffered a historic defeat. May there be many more days like this.

The Biden regime is authoritarian to the core. Like every hard-Left authority in the history of the world, it is intolerant of dissent and determined to stamp out all opposition, not by defeating it at the ballot box, and certainly not by besting it in the court of public opinion, but by forcibly silencing it. But on Tuesday, Judge Terry Doughty, Chief U.S. district judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, put a massive roadblock in the way of Biden’s handlers’ ongoing efforts to ensure that only their own perspective can be heard in the American public square.

In a landmark ruling in Missouri v. Biden, Doughty struck back hard against what he called “the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history.” Doughty even began his decision by quoting the most famous adage regarding the importance of the freedom of speech: “I may disapprove of what you say, but I would defend to the death your right to say it,” a statement that is often attributed to Voltaire but which Doughty credits to the early twentieth-century English writer Evelyn Beatrice Hall (whom he mistakenly calls Hill, but that doesn’t detract from the power of his ruling).

Doughty declares that “in their attempts to suppress alleged disinformation, the Federal Government, and particularly the Defendants named here, are alleged to have blatantly ignored the First Amendment’s right to free speech.” He noted that “Plaintiffs allege that Defendants, through public pressure campaigns, private meetings, and other forms of direct communication, regarding what Defendants described as ‘disinformation,’ ‘misinformation,’ and ‘malinformation,’ have colluded with and/or coerced social-media platforms to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content on social-media platforms.”

Specifically, Doughty noted:

Plaintiffs allege that Defendants suppressed conservative-leaning free speech, such as: (1) suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story prior to the 2020 Presidential election; (2) suppressing speech about the lab-leak theory of COVID-19’s origin; (3) suppressing speech about the efficiency of masks and COVID-19 lockdowns; (4) suppressing speech about the efficiency of COVID-19 vaccines; (5) suppressing speech about election integrity in the 2020 presidential election; (6) suppressing speech about the security of voting by mail; (7) suppressing parody content about Defendants; (8) suppressing negative posts about the economy; and (9) suppressing negative posts about President Biden.

All that is abundantly true, and there are plenty of other examples of the regime’s hatred of dissent as well. Regime spokesbeings, however, will tell you that all they really want to do is protect poor, ignorant, distracted, gullible Americans from “disinformation.” It became clear when the Biden regime established its ill-fated and quickly disbanded Disinformation Governance Board that it had decided that labeling reports that departed from the officially approved line as “disinformation” was a likely winning strategy, both to circumvent the First Amendment and to hoodwink Americans into thinking that the crushing of dissent was a valuable service.

Doughty, however, pointed out that it was not the government’s role at all to silence opposition voices; rather, he reminds us that “the principal function of free speech under the United States’ system of government is to invite dispute; it may indeed best serve its high purpose when it induces a condition of unrest, creates dissatisfaction with conditions as they are, or even stirs people to anger.” This is as far from the Biden regime’s conception of the function of free speech as Los Angeles is from Pluto’s moons, and that’s precisely why this ruling is so urgently needed, and so welcome.

Doughty wrote: “During the COVID-19 pandemic, a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth.’ The Plaintiffs have presented substantial evidence in support of their claims that they were the victims of a far-reaching and widespread censorship campaign.” He added: “It is quite telling that each example or category of suppressed speech was conservative in nature. This targeted suppression of conservative ideas is a perfect example of viewpoint discrimination of political speech. American citizens have the right to engage in free debate about the significant issues affecting the country.” Yes, they do, and in Missouri v. Biden, Doughty has done a great deal to protect that right. This decision prohibits the government from working with social media giants to censor American citizens.

Will the regime fight back? Almost certainly. Will it craft a deceptive, Orwellian, disingenuous, paternalistic argument for censorship based on its claimed responsibility to protect Americans from “disinformation”? That seems likely as well. But the more it fights in cases of this kind, the more its authoritarian nature becomes clear. Will Americans quietly accept the yoke of censorship? We have a history of resisting tyranny. It is no accident, comrade, as Biden’s Marxist friends would say, that Doughty’s ruling came on Independence Day.

A Movie That Brings Attention to the Horror of Human Trafficking

Sound of Freedom Hero: ‘Media Running Interference For Pedophiles And Human Traffickers Is Sick’

Sound of Freedom is a movie based on a true story about former Homeland Security agent Tim Ballard and his fight against child trafficking and pedophilia. The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, Media Matters, Jezebel, the Guardian, and other leftist media outlets, published articles trying to conflate child abuse with QAnon conspiracy theories to discredit the facts about child trafficking and mass immigration.

The real life former government agent who exposed child trafficking rings, inspiring the wildly popular new film ‘Sound of Freedom’, has hit back at a coordinated media effort to categorise the movie as some sort of conspiracy theorist’s wet dream.

In a Fox News interview, Tim Ballard, played by Jim Caviezel in the movie, responded to bizarre efforts to label it a ‘QAnon’ production.

“I can’t explain, and neither can they,” Ballard urged, adding “Every show I’ve seen, they just like to throw the word out, ‘QAnon.’ They make zero connection to the actual story. It’s very difficult to make that connection when it’s actually based on a true story.”

“Where is the QAnon doctrine being spewed in the film and the script?” Ballard demanded to know, adding “This is just some other agenda.”

“Who would want to get the backs or run interference for pedophiles and human traffickers?” Ballard emphasised, adding “That’s the more important question in all this. Why would you want to lie to push an agenda whose goal is to have children be in captivity? It’s kind of sick.”

President Nayib Bukele’s successful crackdown on MS-13 gang members has led to a dramatic reduction in the number of Salvadorans illegally crossing our southern border, the Wall Street Journal reports.

From The Wall Street Journal, “The Country With the Highest Murder Rate Now Has the Highest Incarceration Rate”:

El Salvador, long whipsawed by gang violence that made it one of the world’s most dangerous countries, turned things around by jailing huge swaths of its population. The country once known for having the world’s highest murder rate now has the world’s highest incarceration rate—about double that of the U.S.

Since March 2022, President Nayib Bukele’s government has implemented a campaign to arrest en masse suspected members of the MS-13 and 18th Street gangs that have long terrorized the impoverished Central American nation, blocking economic growth and stoking U.S.-bound migration.

The strategy has helped lower homicides by 92% compared with 2015, giving Bukele the support of nine of every 10 Salvadorans, polls show. The number of Salvadorans illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border has dropped by 44%.

These numbers are even more significant considering illegal immigration overall has hit record levels thanks to the Biden regime’s open borders policies.

It also has put some 68,000 people in this Massachusetts-size country of 6.3 million behind bars. That’s more than 1% of the population, according to World Prison Brief, an online database on correctional systems. Rights groups said the campaign has swept up innocent people, especially among the country’s poor and indigenous communities, who are held for long periods in harsh conditions without trial.

Responding to allegations of prisoner mistreatment, Bukele during a cabinet meeting in October said, “Yes, they’ll have human rights. But the human rights of honest people are more important.”

[…] Detentions of Salvadorans, once one of the largest groups trying to cross the southwestern border, illegally crossing have dropped to about 36,500 in the eight months through May of this fiscal year from more than 65,000 in the same period a year earlier, just before the campaign began. 

It was reported in 2010 that around one fifth the entire population of El Salvador was living in the US.

MS-13 gang members make headlines every week for committing heinous murders in cities throughout the US.

We’re supposed to believe these gang members have a “spark of divinity” inside them and the diversity they bring is “our greatest strength.”

The success of Bukele’s heavy-handed crackdown has made fools of our ruling elites who insist “restorative justice” and throwing open our nation’s prisons is how you create peace.

 

According to the WSJ, other Latin American countries “grappl[ing] with their own high murder rates” are considering following in Bukele’s footsteps:

Ecuadoreans, one of the largest nationalities heading to the U.S., have seen the homicide rate in their country quadruple from 2019 through 2022. Some politicians, such as Cynthia Viteria, who until May served as mayor of the violent Ecuadorean city of Guayaquil, encouraged Ecuador’s government to mimic the Salvadoran leader’s policies to bring down crime and stop the killing of police officers.

“It’s simple, just copy him. Do what Bukele’s doing,” she said in September. “The solutions are out there, for those who have the guts to implement them.”

Jan Topic, an independent presidential candidate in Ecuador and a Bukele admirer, said his experience as a French foreign legion sniper serving in Syria and Ukraine would help him bring order to the streets and gang-controlled prisons.

In Guatemala, several presidential candidates adopted a security agenda inspired on Bukele’s policies in this summer’s election.

In Colombia, beset by armed groups in much of the countryside, the opposition Democratic Center party recently invited Bukele to visit the country and showered him with praise after leftist president, Gustavo Petro, compared El Salvador’s overcrowded jails to concentration camps.

“I think I’ll go on vacation to Colombia,” Bukele quipped on Twitter.

The scale of MS-13’s extortion was tremendous:

Former central bank governor Carlos Acevedo said that gangs raked in an estimated $500 million a year from extortion paid by businesses and residents. Multilateral organizations estimated that crime cost El Salvador 15% of its $29 billion economy.

Those losses are now being reversed, business groups said. In a survey earlier this year by the National Association of Private Enterprise, the country’s largest business group, members reported drops of 40% to 70% in extortion since mid-2022.

[…] more than 60% of Salvadorans said they didn’t care if their government was democratic as long as it solved their day-to-day problems, according to a survey by Chile-based regional pollster Latinobarometro in 2021. 

[…] Public-bus operators were robbed of at least $20 million a year through extortion, according to Genaro Ramírez, president of El Salvador’s public transport bus association. Extortion had become so institutionalized that Ramirez said a bank asked him for detailed information on payments to gangs when he once applied for a business loan. Gangs also boarded buses to rob passengers. 

Some 3,000 public transport workers and bus owners were killed in gang crossfire and attacks over the past two decades, Ramírez said. In 2010, after a bus owner refused to pay extortion, at least 17 people were killed when gangsters doused a bus full of passengers with gasoline and set it ablaze, then fired bullets at anyone who tried to run out. The incident transfixed Salvadorans.

Over the past year, extortion has fallen to “negligible sums,” Ramírez said. He credited the anti-gang campaign, calling it harsh but necessary.

“Of course, there is going to be collateral damage, nothing is perfect,” said Ramírez. “But I can’t criticize what’s working.”

The Biden regime has had nothing but criticism for Bukele for undermining what they call “democracy.”
