"America Feedom to Fascism by Aaron Russo
Edited on Fri Jul-07-06 09:20 PM by madmunchie
Has anybody seen the trailor to this movie?

What exactly is the impact of the "Federal Reserve" being a "private company"? How can this "private company" run our nation's finances? How are we printing money w/o any gold to back it up? This movie is absolutely devestating....there really are no words to describe it.

I just saw the trailer and some of the information behind it, I already knew, but what I didn't know (and still don't know) is how this all comes together and spells in no uncertain terms "We are all SO very very fucked".

After viewing this, I don't hold out much hope for any of us.

3. I'm dissappointed that nobody is responding to this thread.
There are so many things that come out in this that really say that we are all (almost all) living a delusion. Democrats and Republicans are the same. The Banks are running this country and that most of the stuff that we are concerned about as Democrats are things that are being used to keep us occupied so that their grand plans can march on. We are all being duped and the ceiling is about ready to crash in on us if we do not become aware and act on what this movie is telling us.

I would hope that some of the DUers out there care enough to at least discuss this further.

I never realized that the Federal Reserve Bank is not a Government Agency or has nothing to do with the Government, did you? Isn't that kind of scarey considering the power that The Reserve has on our economy?

Is any of this false?

4. One of the most important articles
you will ever read ....August 15,1971 the day America died

quote.......
The general public, the media and most financial observers were largely unaware of the momentous event that took place on August 15, 1971. However, the implications of that event have had an enormous impact on global financial conditions ever since. On that date, US President Richard Nixon “closed the gold window”. In essence, this meant the US would no longer honour the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944, which made the US dollar the world’s reserve currency, and allowed other countries to convert their US-dollar holdings into gold. In simple terms, the US defaulted. Those who may have glanced at the announcement buried within the pages of their daily newspaper were unlikely to have understood the implications for their financial future.
end quote.........

8. What are your political views after knowing this?
Did you watch the trailer? Do you believe in the Democrats and Republicans knowing what you know?

6. That guy ran for governor of Nevada as a Republican
Must be the same guy. It was '98 and the GOP wanted a quiet coronation of Kenny Guinn but this Russo character was flailing around at their party functions and getting tons of press. He was on the air early with TV ads ripping Guinn. Finally the Guinn campaign ran some negative ads, showing Russo with long wild hair and jumping on tables while shouting crazy remarks. I think Russo came in second in the primary then endorsed the Democratic nominee, Las Vegas Mayor Jan Jones. But Guinn won fairly comfortably.

7. Did you see the trailor? This guy is (also?) a movie guy
I should say mainly a movie guy produced some good movies and has won several awards doing so.
