Poll question: Aaron Russo's Freedom to fascism documentary
Edited on Wed Nov-29-06 02:19 AM by Rev. 1-18
I found this film very eye opening. After it was over I wanted to go out and drive out the red coats ,so to speak. But will the real meaning of this "must see" manifesto do any good for the cause or is it just a tempest in a teapot?

1. I saw it, mostly a load of crap
I don't buy the federal reserve and income tax conspiracy by any means. It was worth the 5 bucks though because I think it's good to be exposed to viewpoints that contrast to my own.

3. certainly this was not a conspiracy theory, backed by facts

This was far from conspiracy indeed. I knew the real meaning would be lost on those of average intelligence. Are you implying there is a law and all the assertions are false? I ask you then to find the law and post it for all to see. and the deeper and more sinister part was the out and out wanton unconstitutional aspects and the realization that a few powerful and therefor feared men probably are conspiring to create the new world order and after all George senior said it, and if you connect the dots. Well...A few weeks ago I wouldn't have believed it myself. Personally I think the implications are staggering. After all Bush says "the constitution is just a God damn piece of paper"! As for me those are fighten words. I think you should go right out and get chipped.

2. It was made by someone who is pissed over getting caught not paying his taxes
Russo is just another one of those angry selfish types who feels he should not have to pay any taxes and is all upset that the IRS called him out on it. The IRS is an executive branch agency that does what it is supposed to do under the Internal Revenue Code, which is passed by Congress and signed by the President, meaning that it has been created and amended by both Democrats and Republicans over the years.

Just because Russo lacks the sophistication to understand how the basics of how our society works does not mean that the government is conspiring to get him. Just because he has failed to outsmart the IRS does not make the IRS evil.

If nobody pays taxes, then a civilized society could never exist. Period.
