My Review Of Aaron Russo's Film, "America: Freedom To Fascism"

By Chuck Baldwin

July 21, 2006

(This column is archived at: http://www. chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2006/cbarchive_20060721.html

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 the film:

Hmmm....hints of a hidden agenda? An agent-provocateur? Who knows..I'll have to see it and judge for myself, but this is quite a negative since most in the patriot movement are Christian believers..a valid review would have included "the two words" offensive to Christians. I would think a valid patriot movie about Freedom would have been totally non-religious and critical of none, making me wonder if this guy has some kind of ax to grind....??? Anybody seen it?

BTTT!

We're going Friday night to see it for the second time. We saw it a few months ago when Russo did his introductory tour. We're so fortunate to be one of the first cities to get it in a real theater! It will do well here. It's outstanding.

Return America's gold to Fort Knox and have it audited

I have a problem with this one.

It implies that the gold is not in Fort Knox to begin with and how does he know it's not there?

Why wouldn't he just say 'audit the gold in Fort Knox'?

I listened to an interview with Russo and my first intellectual, emotional and gut reaction was that Russo is a fraud and his movie is a Trojan horse being put out right now to lay the ground work for the coming launch of the consumption tax campaign being planned by the real fascists. Russo's hidden agenda is to demonize the IRS. Like most well planned and scripted propaganda movements, he has very cleverly disguised his real motives by bundling it with a bunch of popular issues. One little step at a time to convince the public that they need to jump off the cliff to save themselves.

Here's the interview - Notice how in the interview, Russo turns the discussion from being a good American, to a full out attack on the IRS and taxing "our labor".

Avoid the consumption tax by not buying shit. A consumption tax is what the framers had in mind, not a progressive income tax. There's always barter and private purchases ... we need real money, and not plastic credit that can be tracked.

This could be true of anyone, and it's definitely hard to place a lot of trust in "anyone" these days ... on the other hand, at some point we will be so isolated that we will be of no consequence. We have to unite to defeat this "beast" ... we simply make it extremely painful for a traitor to our cause once found out.

The film will clarify the minds of some in doubt about the governmental frauds they have been living under ... some will even become obsessed with finding out the truth intent upon changing things. In the end, if the movie brings more people into a more educated condition it won't matter if Russo is or isn't a fraud.

Well, I sure as hell can't wait to take a giant step backward in my stardard of living so the corporate CEO's can skate away with a free ride. All you need to know is that the corporations already own the government and they are behind the comsuption tax. Not exactly rocket science to figure out that the serfs are about to get the biggest tax increase in history. Maybe we can talk as soon as I figure out how to barter away my utility, insurance and gasoline bills.

well, look at the many notables who appear in his film. i think that says a lot. i think the focus is educating the public more on the federal reserve than on IRS. Russo's contention is that if we are able to rid ourselves of this criminal cabal that we can then take back our country. that's the starting point. i hope you have the opportunity to see it.

incidentally, i heard Russo on Jack Blood's show yesterday. IF he's a fraud, he's the best i've ever heard.

Maybe we can talk about getting rid of this government and their corporations ... both of those are frauds. People have always been able to trade with each other even in the complete absence of banks, governments or corporations. The condition we find ourselves in today may be convenient, but it doesn't necessarily make one happy.

Oh, I imagine that Russo is going to suck in a lot of people with his "take back America" flag waving talk. I freely admit that he is good at what he does - best that corporate interests can buy and they can buy some real talented liars and Judas Goats to swing public opinion. It isn't going to be easy convincing people to get behind committing financial suicide but sounding like he has our interests at heart will at least get Russo a chance to have people hear out the propaganda message. Surely you must notice that he "tactfully" avoids any solution to eliminating "labor taxation". To do so would tip his hand and expose his real agenda. This story is just developing although the Fair Tax operatives have been fairly active on sites like FR for about a year now.

I agree with you but that doesn't work for the vast majority of urbanized people today. I still have to go to the doctor and I know that guy isn't about to accept a couple of chickens and an apple pie for his services. Short of an armed rebellion, I don't see how we will ever get back control of our own government.

Be vigilent. You will soon be able to connect the dots and see where this is going. With the economy now dependent of increasing government spending and inflation taking hold in an over-leveraged financial system, the government is running out of time. If the central planners raise interst rates to halt inflation, the economy goes into the toilet. If they stop spending (never going to happen), the economy goes into the toilet. They are in a corner. Only way out for them is to keep spending and tax the hell out of the increases in inflation.

Granted, but we're not talking about the absence of government, banks and corporations, we're talking about it being damned near a capital offense to cut them out of the deal. This "fair" tax bullshit will be an Orwellian wet dream. Within a couple of years, barter will be taxed as well because just like cash, untaxed barter will be demonized as the tool of tax cheats and terrorists. You might ask who would turn you in? Neighbors, co-workers, maybe even your in-laws. Anyone with an axe to grind or who just can't mind their own business.

If they want a replacement tax system, start taxing imports across the board as they are unloaded from the cargo ships.

Show me da gold and show me da audit. Should be easy. And we'll all just go back and mow our lawns. I'll bet it ain't ever gonna happen.

"I think it can hardly be disputed that the statesman and financiers of Europe are ready to take almost any means to reacquire rapidly the Gold stock which Europe lost to America as the result of World War I."
Rep. Louis T. McFadden (D.-PA)

Louise Boyer, the long-time secretary to Nelson Rockefeller, leaked the story that the Rockefellers were manipulating the Fed in order to sell off our U.S. gold from Fort Knox to European speculators. Shortly after the story broke, she mysteriously fell to her death from the 10th floor of her apartment building. The gold story was squelched. To this day no one knows how much gold is left in Fort Knox since it hasn’t been audited since the 50's. This story was published in a New York periodical by Tom Valentine on July 1, 1974. The title of the article was "MYSTERIOUS DEATH SILENCES KEY INFORMANT IN MISSING FORT KNOX GOLD CONTROVERSY." 3 days later, on July 4, 1974, there was an article in the New York Times concerning the death of Louise Auchincloss Boyer.

"Allegations of missing gold from our Fort Knox vaults are being widely discussed in European financial circles. But what is puzzling is that the administration is not hastening to demonstrate conclusively that there is no cause for concern over our gold treasure - if indeed it is in a position to do so."
Edith Roosevelt - Granddaughter of President Teddy Roosevelt - March, 1975 - The New Hampshire Sunday News.

Firestone, LTD., a Swiss corporation, set up a string of dummy corporations to purchase Fort Knox Gold and keep it in Switzerland, never to hit the U.S. shores. An article titled "U.S. Charges Firestone In Illegal Gold Trading" in the New York Times and an article titled "Firestone Trial Opens On Gold Chances Today" in the Richmond Times Dispatch on October 14, 1980 gives a great deal of information. Some were prosecuted, found guilty and sent to prison.

Ronald Reagan's "GOLD COMMISSION" in 1982 basically concluded that the U.S. Treasury owned no gold at all, that all the gold at Fort Knox was now owned by the Federal Reserve. Sorry Americans. Trillions for the bankers. Debt for the people.

"History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance."
James Madison

Woodrow Wilson signed the 1913 Federal Reserve Act. A few years later he wrote:

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."
Woodrow Wilson

"If the American People ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property, until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers occupied. The issuing of money should be taken from the banks and restored to Congress and the people to whom it belongs."
Thomas Jefferson

"When the Federal Reserve Act was passed, the people of the United States did not perceive that a world banking system was being set up here. A superstate controlled by international bankers and industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure. Every effort has been made to conceal its powers but the truth is - the Fed has usurped the government."
Louis B. McFadden, Chairman, House Banking Committee, 1933

"Let me issue and control a nation's money, and I care not who writes its laws"
Meyer Rothschild

"When business in the United States underwent a mild contraction in 1927,the Federal Reserve created more paper reserves in the hope of forestalling any possible bank reserve shortage. ... More disastrous, however, was the Federal Reserve's attempt to assist Great Britain... The excess credit spilled over into the stock market - triggering a fantastic speculative boom... As a result, the American economy collapsed."
Alan Greenspan, Federal Reserve Corporation Chairman

J. Luben: Another question that has come up frequently with Kitco, and I’ll ask Congressman Paul this one. Do you think it is appropriate for the American people to ask for an audit of Fort Knox for full disclosure of how much gold is really in there?

Rep. Ron Paul: Yes, and going back to the Gold Commission, that subject came up then and I recommended that we do that, and that was again defeated 15 to 2. They said they have an ongoing audit. They audit 5% every year, so eventually they audit the whole thing. They also said that there once was an audit in the 1970’s but those who participated in the audit considered it inadequate. I think it would be a good idea because you hear stories and of course those who believe in conspiracies drum up a lot of stories. It seems like someone like myself on the Banking Committee, on the Domestic Monetary Subcommittee, having served on the Gold Commission, that you think that I would have the ability to get this done. But I can’t even figure out what The Fed is doing because their meetings are totally secret and they don’t reveal their policies. It’s a closed system in the monetary sense, and I think that is tragic.

Louise Boyer, the long-time secretary to Nelson Rockefeller, leaked the story that the Rockefellers were manipulating the Fed in order to sell off our U.S. gold from Fort Knox to European speculators. Shortly after the story broke, she mysteriously fell to her death from the 10th floor of her apartment building. The gold story was squelched. To this day no one knows how much gold is left in Fort Knox since it hasn’t been audited since the 50's. This story was published in a New York periodical by Tom Valentine on July 1, 1974. The title of the article was "MYSTERIOUS DEATH SILENCES KEY INFORMANT IN MISSING FORT KNOX GOLD CONTROVERSY." 3 days later, on July 4, 1974, there was an article in the New York Times concerning the death of Louise Auchincloss Boyer.

Interesting old news item, the part about an informant dying mysteriously sounds new.

"If there’s another 9/11 or a major war in the Middle-East involving a U.S. attack on Iran, I have no doubt that there will be, the day after or within days an equivalent of a Reichstag fire decree that will involve massive detentions in this country."

- Daniel Ellsberg Author, Pentagon Papers

Granted, but we're not talking about the absence of government, banks and corporations, we're talking about it being damned near a capital offense to cut them out of the deal.

I should be the one that's upset about a change since I opted out of the existing system almost 20 years ago. Where there's a will there's a way.

If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds (smites) you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams ... and I concur !

what two words is Baldwin talking about?

Is the GD word in the movie? Just a guess since I haven't seen it.

Well, I sure as hell can't wait to take a giant step backward in my stardard of living so the corporate CEO's can skate away with a free ride.

Maybe we can talk as soon as I figure out how to barter away my utility, insurance and gasoline bills.

There's the real problem. We can all agree that things are sour to say the least, but when it comes down to some personal sacrifice to effect a change - then we're a lot less willing to do it.

Do you live in an apartment, or do you have a house with a backyard? If it's the latter you might consider putting in a wind generator. I'm a welder by trade, and have come up with a design for one. I will be putting together a prototype in the near future, and work out the bugs. It may not be the most elaborate looking generator made, but if it works who cares. Beats paying an electric bill. Best part is I LOVE to barter... Of course, this wouldn't solve your insurance or gas bills, but it's a start.

I thought it interesting that you said we're not talking about the absence of governments, corporations and banks ... "They're all legal fictions" ... and our society has been trained to think of them as "reality" !

We simply need to change our way of thinking. We need to think outside of the fiction box.

I wouldn't say that it's easier because it's not. It is somewhat satisfying to know that you're not supplying funding for the mass murder of children around the world, usually desribed as collateral damage to keep us from another "reality" ... that we are brutal murderers for the sake of our own personal convenience.

If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds (smites) you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Like it or not, there is almost no doubt in my mind that the standard of living for the average American is going to drop. The only debate is who will have to sacrifice the most. The rich and the corporatists who own the politicians are trying to make sure the serfs are the ones doing the sacrificing. No matter how they dress it up and how much lipstick they put on this pig, that is what it all boils down to.

I gave up the money pit a few years ago and now live in an apartment. Rents have gone up every year but it beats the heck out of the increasing costs of owning a home, IMO.

Today's fiction often turns into tomorrow's reality. Ponder this - are we moving toward a North American Union merger with Canada and Mexico? Is that what this is really all about? - merging currency and tax systems and forming a common government that is even less accountable to the public?
