    The man whose story inspired "Sound of Freedom" is pushing back against critics in the media who are tying the hit film to the QAnon movement.

    Tim Ballard, portrayed by actor Jim Caviezel in the movie as a former government agent who left his job to save one girl from sex traffickers in Colombia and ended up saving scores more children, told Fox News on Monday there is no justification to accuse the movie of being steeped in conspiracy theories associated with QAnon.

    "I can't explain, and neither can they," Ballard said. "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."

    Ballard asked, "where is the QAnon doctrine being spewed in the film and the script?", and argued that he would know best because he was there for these events that can be confirmed by others.

    "This is just some other agenda ... who would want to get the backs or run interference for pedophiles and human traffickers? 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," he said.

    Several left-leaning news outlets have published stories that made the QAnon association, including Rolling Stone and The Guardian.

    Ballard was asked to react specifically to a critique by author Mike Rothschild, who said during an appearance on CNN that the film "is looking at QAnon concepts of these child trafficking rings that are run by the high-level elites" and that people like Ballard and those who buy tickets to see the movie feel they are the only ones who can stop it.

    "As that guy is talking - and he's nobody's hero by the way - I can't imagine any kid looking at him thinking he's going to help them out," Ballard said. "But I think of the children that are really depicted in that film. I know what happened to them. Those children were the subjects of child rape videos. Those children were being sold for sex."

    Ballard, who noted that more than 100 individuals wound up being rescued, added that it is "embarrassing and frankly, grotesque for this guy who knows nothing to start throwing out terms like QAnon and connecting it to a real story."

Understanding that this fragile Republic of the self-governed is in a precarious space in our nation's vast history: What is your honor bound patriotic duty in helping to sustain the continuance of these United States of America?
  I will depend on my Democratic Socialist politicians to continue to march hard toward the Left to provide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for all who think and do as they are told.
  I will defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and support all elected leaders who pledge to protect and insure the continued sovereignty of this Representative Republic.
  I am very concerned about maintaining my current life style without working. I was told that as long as I vote Democrat, I had nothing to worry about ... but now I worry.

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?
  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.
  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.
  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?
