Several readers have written me asking that I promote Aaron Russo's new film. Well, until recently I had not seen it, and certainly I could not promote (or criticize) a film until I had an opportunity to view it. That opportunity presented itself a few days ago in the form of a private screening.
Most readers probably already know that Aaron Russo has enjoyed a
distinguished career as a film producer winning Grammy, Tony, and Emmy
awards. His films have starred people such as Bette Midler, Lionel Hampton,
Eddie Murphy, Nick Nolte, Morgan Freeman, and many others. To date, Russo's
films have been nominated for six Academy Awards, as well as seven Golden
Globes. His films have won three Golden Globes and the Image Award. His
latest film is a documentary entitled, "America: Freedom To Fascism."
The film begins with a critical review of two monumental events that
happened in 1913: the adoption of the 16th Amendment, which has been
interpreted to authorize the forced taxation of individual income and the
creation of the Federal Reserve, which turned the governance of America's
financial system over to a centralized private banking interest. The film
intelligently and convincingly makes a strong case for the opinion that both
the 16th Amendment and the Federal Reserve System are flatly
unconstitutional and may not even have been legally adopted.
Russo's film then factually demonstrates how modern presidents (especially
Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II) have led America out of the light of liberty
and into a dark alley of fascism (hence the film's title). The film provides
many examples to prove the reality of that statement.
Many very credible personalities are interviewed in the film including Texas
Congressman Ron Paul, constitutional scholar Edwin Vieira, Jr. Esq., former
IRS special agents and investigators, and several others. Russo also
interviewed former IRS commissioners, and reviewed copious court cases,
including Supreme Court cases. Predictably (for such a documentary), notable
tax resistors such as Bob Schulz and Franklin Sanders were also interviewed.
And, frankly, their arguments are compelling!
The overall arguments and conclusions of the film are more than convincing!
It will be very difficult for anyone objectively viewing this film to attack
the facts and evidence presented. And for that reason, I'm confident that
both the political and financial interests of this country will hope that no
one watches it!
Russo also rightly connects the dots between developments such as the USA
Patriot Act, the so-called "free trade" deals such as NAFTA and CAFTA, and
the business and political alliance promoting illegal immigration with the
overall push toward globalism and fascism.
Congressman Paul makes a compelling argument for the proposition that
America is already in the process of becoming a police state. Russo also
includes some disturbing police video which helps augment Paul's point.
Russo, in thorough investigative form, interviews many people ranging from
everyday folks on the street to high level government officials. He also
gave people from both sides of the tax debate an opportunity to present
their case.
There were only a couple of disappointments with the film. I noticed two
words that will be offensive to Christian audiences. Plus, had Russo added
the cross-examination by the inquisitor-esque Alabama Attorney General Bill
Pryor of Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, churches and pastors would more
quickly be able to identify with this film. And if any group of people needs
to see and take to heart Russo's film, it is today's pastors and churches!
My other disappointment was with the way the film ends. I won't spoil the
ending for those who have yet to see it, but, personally, I felt Russo could
have done a better job with the film's conclusion.
The film runs for about one hour and forty five minutes. It is quite
refreshing to see a first-rate documentary film which reveals the truth
about the very real efforts of elites from both major parties and from
international bankers to turn America into a fascist, globalist state, which
is exactly what they are doing! I applaud the film and heartily recommend
it! I further encourage Mr. Russo to produce a sequel and to seek assistance
from likeminded Christians who can help him bring in those elements that
will help his message connect with pastors and churches.
Russo's film is debuting in several major cities across the country over the
next few weeks. If you have an opportunity to see it, by all means do so! If
you are a real American, the film will anger you (as it was designed to do)
and also challenge you to not sit passively by as international elitists
steal our country out from under us. Here is the link to Russo's promo for
