Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Pluskylang Great Film overall
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Da Bomb-3 This whole movie is based on the idea that the 16th amendment does not confer the rights for the government to tax income.Thats all fair and fine.But he, and several of the interviewed people, keeps on saying that there is no law that requires you to file an income tax.But as one of the experts he was referred to by IRS states; There is a law. Title 26. The producer behind this movie just think its unconstitutional. Thats a whole different ball game though.Read it again: The law is there. You have to pay income tax. According to that law at least.What remains is finding out whether the law is constitutional. And instead of spending time on that, he spends time on circular arguments created by the twisted idea that the law does not exist - because he _thinks_ it should not.He even claims to be threatened when a smarter guy than him, that is NOT working for the IRS, tells him he will learn the truth. When all he was basically doing was calling him stupid, which was well deserved.For sane person with a minimum of logical ability, viewing this "documentary" fast becomes an exercise in restraint as you want desperately to reach in and tell the idiot to stop.He might be on to something in terms of the 16th amendment. But he loses it all in useless tinfoilhattery.
jimdav Russo's presentation of the income-tax fraud is brilliant, and his warnings of the imminent government card & chip ID and control systems, chilling. The effect is sadly and badly marred, however, by his relentless attribution of blame to a shadowy group of "international bankers" and the Federal Reserve.The Fed is a club of banks, granted special privileges by the Federal Government in exchange for its role in creating "money" for its use out of thin air. Those privileges include the right for member banks to lend money at interest which they did not possess on deposit the instant before the loan was made and the mortgage received; this is called "fractional reserve" banking and is a prime cause of inflation.Every other company and industry group that beds down with government also gains benefits at productive peoples' expense; there is no fundamental difference. The correct solution is to terminate government; then, all such companies would be free to compete - but only honestly. Government can (alas) survive without bankers; bankers can survive without government only as harmless players in the marketplace, with no special powers to harm anyone."America: from Freedom to Fascism" is a fine production. Tragically, it blames the wrong culprit.
stock-1 Pingo-2 from Sweden tells Russo "Please get an education". I guess many people from Europe are not entirely informed about the subjects covered. Its known that Education inside America and Europe has been tampered with on purpose. So the phrase "Please get an education" is a very stupid remark in the context of the material covered by "from Freedom to Fascism". One of the conclusions after digging into the subjects covered, is that people who really want to know have to educate themselves. There's no other way around it. This documentary is in fact an very important milestone to GET people educated, because our bought and paid for educators certainly won't tell the un-tampered truth. I praise Russo for what he did.
riromero It's depressing to see how many people actually believe the material presented in this "documentary" is true. The movie claims to expose a huge, hidden plan to financially and politically enslave the American public.The first portion of the movie "reveals" that there is no law requiring individuals to pay income tax. Somehow they think that the US Code of laws passed by Congress isn't law? For the income tax section, read Title 26 U.S.C. § 1; it's all online at http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/. Maybe laws passed by Congress are unconstitutional? Could happen. Try reading the Sixteenth Amendment, "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration." Sounds pretty clear. The claim is that the 16th Amendment wasn't properly ratified. Before typewriters and copy machines, getting the states to ratify identical text was a challenge. Some documents from states certifying the 16th amendment's ratification had trivial errors: "States" not capitalized, "income" instead of "incomes", missing commas or the word "levy" instead of "lay". The Secretary of State obtained verbal confirmation from the Legislatures involved and declared the Amendment passed, which was the correct legal procedure. The film maker conveniently neglects to mention whether this is why he claims the 16th Amendment invalid. Next the film asserts that the Federal Reserve was created and is currently controlled by powerful bankers with the goal of financially enslaving middle class America. Really? The Fed Chairman Bernanke from Princeton has never worked in the public sector, was appointed by the President and confirmed by Congress. The other board members have similar credentials. Created by powerful bankers (photos of J.P. Morgan are shown in the movie) to control the economy? Excuse me, but before the Federal Reserve, J.P. Morgan and other powerful bankers already had control of the money supply. Read the history of the the Free Silver movement, or Agrarian Populism. Farmers in the Midwest were under Morgan's thumb and were begging for government oversight. Morgan himself got on board after the Bank Panic of 1907 where he had to inject his own money to prevent total financial collapse. When Morgan saw the light, the final obstacle to a National Bank was removed. Claiming the Federal Reserve was created by Morgan, or some shadowy banking overlords is outright deception.The film spirals downward into paranoid fantasy when it begins to claim there a plans to embed RFID tracking chips into all U.S. citizen to obtain total control of all aspects of our lives. Evidently some reviewers here accept this uncritically. Wake up. Read more than one book that contains a different viewpoint than your own. The majority of Americans aren't deluded, believers in this movie are.
