I wish politicians would look out for miners
Oliver Anthony, Rich Men North of Richmond
And not just minors on an island somewhere
Oliver Anthony’s Rich Men North of Richmond is making US chart history — the first artist to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with no prior chart history in any form — because his song has struck a chord with millions of working-class Americans.
And struck terror, judging by the furious attacks of the mainstream media, into the hearts of the left elite. Not least, one suspects, because of its reference to Jeffrey Epstein, who pimped underage girls for years to the cream of the wealthy elite in politics and showbusiness. Despite, or more likely because of, the legal system running protection for rich paedophiles by steadfastly refusing to release his client list, ordinary folk aren’t letting it go.
In a similar fashion, the showbiz industry and the left media have done everything they can to bury movie sleeper hit, Sound of Freedom, a based-on-a-true-story film about child sex trafficking. The mainstream media have denounced the film as a “QAnon conspiracy theory”. As if one had to fall for QAnon nuttiness to acknowledge that some rich and powerful people indulge in such stuff.
As it turns out, some of the film’s fiercest critics really do have something to hide.
Noah Berlatsky, a Bloomberg writer who recently lambasted the film ‘Sound of Freedom’, has been identified as a pro-pedophilia activist.
Well, well, well.
Despite its limited release and fewer theatre appearances, the film has managed to eclipse mainstream blockbusters like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. The movie, featuring Hollywood stalwart Jim Caviezel, is grounded in the harrowing real-life missions of Tim Ballard, a former Homeland Security officer who dedicated his life to rescuing children ensnared in human trafficking operations.
And deny the wealthy elite their fresh meat? How dare they! Smithers, release the MAPs!
Berlatsky’s critique of Sound of Freedom was not merely a review but an assault. He branded the film as a QAnon dog whistle, insinuating that it served to stoke conspiracy theories rather than illuminate the grim reality of child trafficking.

It turns out, though, that Berlatsky may know a teensy bit more about the grim reality of child trafficking than he probably wanted his readers to know.
NBC contributor Noah Berlatsky is now the Communications Director for Prostasia, a not-for-profit group that is reportedly attempting to legitimize pedophilia under the guise of helping children […]
Prostasia offers pedophiles a MAP Support Club, which “is a peer support chat for minor attracted people who are fundamentally against child sexual abuse and committed to never harm children, and is a safe space to have peer support in times of trouble.” This group is for people who are aged 13 and up.
Berlatsky presumably took issue with Sound of Freedom because he likes to argue that child sex trafficking isn’t really that at all. It’s just a career path for tots, apparently.
Berlatsky seems to see little difference between sex work and other kinds of work, saying that the “lots of jobs require people to barter their health and their bodies,” and comparing sex workers to people who work in mines.
He calls children who have been trafficked into the sex trade “young people trading in sex”.

Well, we know that far too many of his colleagues in the left media know a lot more about working in minors than they know about working in mines.
Peter Bright, the 39-year-old tech and gaming journalist who worked at Ars Technica, went by the username of “Dr. Pizza” online has now been convicted for soliciting sex from two minors aged 7 and 9.
The self proclaimed male feminist who goes by the username “Dr. Pizza” online described himself as “pan, poly and pervy” on his Twitter profile.
Which ought to have been red flags enough, but apparently red flags were unnecessary for his colleagues.
Anonymous sources claim that co-workers at Ars Technica were familiar with Bright’s sexual attraction to minors and he made no attempts at hiding it.
“His user name was Dr. Pizza for a reason, everybody knows what he liked, nobody cared… it’s sickening,” a source close to Ars Technica told us.

“Pizza” seems too coincidental to not be a reference to the infamous conspiracy theory. One needn’t buy into that nonsense any more than QAnon to suspect that a very real paedophile was flinging the reference in everyone’s faces.
Bright, it should surprise no one was a very much offending Minor Attracted Person. The journalist and strident male feminist (yet another red flag!), was convicted for soliciting sex from two minors aged 7 and 9. He asked the FBI agent posing as a single mother with two children for photos of the kids and detailed how he intend to rape the girl.
In a side note, moaning socialist Billy Bragg has released a tin-eared “response” song to Rich Men North of Richmond, titled Rich Men Earning North of a Million.
