From Freedom to Fascism

Categorized under Gobierno | Tags:

FOR YOUR FRIDAY or Saturday night movie watching. If it interests you (and if you haven't seen it, of course), and you have time, I do recommend it. I originally wrote a long intro, but I've deleted it. I don't even want to do that. I'll leave all the punch for the film. Here's a flick by Aaron Russo, a documentary, about the Federal Reserve...and whether or not there is any law on the books that compels us to actually pay a Federal Income Tax, and on what the IRS knows but will never go on record to either confirm or dispute...and much more. By the time you get to the end, it will all be changed up on ya! It's very entertaining...and a bit scary.

Behind the cut is the actual movie AMERICA: From Freedom to Fascism, and it is actual movie length. But it's very watchable and it may just BLOW YOUR MIND!

Well, the trailer's short, give that a try at least.

Tax on our very own labor.
I've always questioned that one. Someone has to line the pockets of the greedy and pay for these wars I guess.

Nezua, with all due respect, I really have to question this.

The "We the People" foundation is a "Patriot" group (listed on the Southern Poverty Law Center's site). This doesn't mean that they're a hate group, but judging from the movie, it seems to be espousing the views of the "New World Order" garbage that feeds into the actual hate groups paranoia.

Does the "We the People" foundation have any links to hate groups? Maybe. But there is sufficient evidence that they are a hate group themselves. From a Spring 2004 Intelligence Report at the SPLC:

Special ire was directed at the Federal Reserve, which Schulz, in common with tens of thousands of other Patriots, believes is an illegal private cartel secretly owned by a small group of greedy bankers.

"Jesus called those who own the money the money changers," explained Bill Still, producer of "The Money Masters," a Federal Reserve-bashing video. "And Jesus' only violent act was to throw out the money changers."

The sheer repetition of "banksters" — a term made popular by the Jew-hating Posse Comitatus during the 1980s — made it hard not to be reminded of complaints about "Jewish bankers" so common in anti-Semitic circles.

And it didn't help that the hands-down star of the show was the elderly Hutton Gibson, an anti-Semite who a few weeks after the We the People conference would give a radio interview claiming that the Nazi death camps were work camps, Jews are seeking "one-world government," "the Jew" is "anti-everyone else," and that Holocaust remembrance is "a gimmick to collect money."

These people use this to scam money out of people ( for instance: http://www.voluntarytax.info/ ) for packages of videos and instruction books on how to avoid the income tax. It's quite a racket.

But there was legal action against alleged tax protesters elsewhere. In Oregon, for instance, a federal jury convicted six members of the Christian Patriot Association of helping 900 people hide $186 million in assets from the IRS. And in California, long-time tax protester Lynne Meredith was indicted on similar charges. She is also accused of personally earning $6.2 million and paying no taxes.

(From SPLC's article: "Tax Protesters"

Yes, there are severe problems with empire and capitalism and U.S. imperialism and where the money goes and I agree that there is underhandedness in the upper classes that has tragic effects on people in the U.S. and the world.

The enemies of my enemies are not my friends, though. These people are hate groups and they're using the language of oppression to further their own ends, which don't include us.

Unfortunately, it's only the extremists who will publicly speak out against this because anyone who isn't an extremist is either too scared or too deep into the system to do it.

The only other way is to be a nobody, like me, and I've been predicting what this film predicts for, at least, the last five years. Once the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the state of Nevada in Hiibel v Nevada, it was clear to me that we had all ceased to be free citizens and had become, instead, the lawful property of the government.

Calling "We the People" a hate group is just more mind numbing propaganda trying to get you the people to ignore the truth being presented here. And that is what it is, the truth. America is on the fast rack to fascism.

kick it, ése.
