America: Freedom to Fascism

Aaron Russo set out to find out about legality of taxing income in the United States and ended up discovering more than he bargained for, or at least so he tells us. Although Russo seems to have a preconceived view on the topics he examines in this film, it is well worth a close viewing.

The film asks a lot of important questions that aren't tackled in the mainstream media; its importance lies in the fact that it encourages people to question the actions of those in power (the U.S. government and the elite) and demand answers.

I follow the debate on our civil liberties pretty closely, and I was still surprised to learn many things about the income tax, the Federal Reserve Bank, national ID cards, and other threats to the civil liberties of Americans and the citizens of the world.

I took issue with certain sections of the film, especially the section on immigration. But, overall, the issues covered were very important to be educated about and are never touched by media sources in the U.S.

Check this film out for a shock and a reality check.

9 out of 10

This film is a political film from a concerned producer who doesn't need to do this movie.... He has been successful and is doing this from the concern he has developed for his country.

It covers many aspects and unlike michael moore, he is not approaching this from a partisan viewpoint. He was very balanced and bipartisan, simply approaching these terrible realities from the viewpoint of a genuine person who cares about the decline of a great nation.

This film was good. The content was substantiated and he built a good case... I think anyone who cares at all about their future as a US citizen, and the future of their children should watch this movie.

Watch it , bring your friends....

Wow! I thought I knew what to expect when I saw this film. However, I didn't realize how deep Aaron Russo would dive into the inner workings of the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Reserve. Even the IRS doesn't know the very laws that it is supposed to be(and doing a good job of) enforcing. One wouldn't think that Gestapo-like tactics would be used in America, land of the FREE, but they are. Every American who thinks he/she is truly free (as our Founding Fathers intended us to be) will be shocked and disturbed at the truth. We are enslaved and the truth shall set you free. You can't ignore the facts in this film. I commend Aaron Russo for his fearlessness as well as for educating his fellow Americans.

Just saw the film and WOW!!! I would highly encourage every American to see this film and make YOUR OWN decisions based on the very real and verifiable evidence presented. Most Americans complain about the 8 trillion dollar debt we owe but never ask themselves WHO DO WE OWE? Most Americans have never read the Constitution so how can one know if it is, in fact, being violated? My recommendation, start with Article 1 section 8 and, again, ask yourself Who do we owe and, further, why do we owe it. A little food for thought. " Give me control of a nation's money, and I care not who makes its laws" (W. Rockefeller). " If you control the food supply, you control the people. If you control the fuel supply, you control the continent. If you control the MONEY, you control the world". ( H. Kissinger). Many Americans are afflicted with this thing called ARROGANCE and think they know, when in fact it is this ARROGANCE that keeps them from learning or even considering something less known but nonetheless true. It is almost impossible to convince someone of something different of what they THINK they know. In my humble opinion, One must put aside their arrogance, check the facts, and formulate one's own opinion based on the facts they can easily find. If you find that you were lied to, deceived, etc, Then you have a responsibility to do something about it. What kind of country will you leave to your grandchildren? What would it feel like to know you could have done something about it. I think this very same thing happened in the not too distant past, the place was called NAZI Germany. THINK FOR YOURSELF!!

It's always good to ask those who are sending messages in documentaries "what's in it for you?". As we left the theater there was someone handing out brochures for an organization called 'World Freedom Ventures'. Part of their package that you buy when you join will "help you obtain a Limited Liability Corporation which will manage a bank account that holds all savings and earnings... You will also be given the opportunity to be trained and developed as a World Freedom Ventures Associate, enabling you to create your own Sovereignty business". Yes folks; it's a business. If you get fired up enough by watching this film and check out the website (and the film does a good job of prodding you to do so if you're a 'real' patriot), you'll get the whole picture. Prosperity is the name of the game, not patriotism. Why pay your hard-earned money to a corporate government when you can be your own corporation sticking it to the little guy? That's the rub of course; working class and poor people have no "assets, valuables and property" to invest; somebody's gotta get screwed! "As long as it's not me!" is maybe 'The American Way' to some people but I grew up in the incandescence of the JFK administration that said, "ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country".

I know our tax system is screwed up and our current administration is the most vile and corrupt for some 74 years. This film has some important and excellent points on the corruption of our government and the incompetence of our legal system (well, we all knew about that!). The atrocious militarism of our police force is a reality here and now, and many of the waves of the future they are foretelling are not science fiction. But... when it comes to taking in information that is as radical as we see in this film, one must consider all the sources. In this film, they've got everyone from left-wing muckrakers like Mike Ruppert to right-wing muckrakers like Dave Champion. Many of the folks in this film are from waaaaay-out there movements or at least dumb enough to hang out with those folks. Katherine Albrecht for instance recently gave a talk for the Berean Chronicle; a group so radical that they believe that Billy Graham is Satan and that the moon landing was a fake.

I sort of recommend this film as a springboard for asking questions, not as a cause that may have you unknowingly supporting some other political agenda that you have strong disagreements with. Do your homework, and then ask the same hard questions of any organization you might join as you would your government (by all means, question them too!!!). A true patriot would do no less.
