"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."
-Thomas Jefferson
I'm not really one for conspiracy theories. In fact, I like to believe that the people in charge, the people who we have voted for or allow to be in power, work solely to serve and provide for us, the American citizens. I like to think that everything we see could be true. But, after seeing this movie, which is the quintessential cherry-on-top in my quest towards enlightenment, I'm afraid I just can't be so hopeful as to think that way anymore.
"Freedom to Fascism" is a movie created Aaron Russo to expose the truth about the IRS, the Federal Reserve, and the American Banking Business to the American people. Russo, an acclaimed movie producer and victim of refusal to pay taxes, goes on in this 2 hour film to discuss everything from the illegality of the Federal Reserve System to the fear of private-banking ideologies held by many of our country's most important leaders, from Thomas Jefferson to Woodrow Wilson. And frankly, he does a pretty good job of it all.
As you all should know, I am incredibly critical of the government. But, this--this is just too much. Could we really be required to have National Identification Cards soon? And to have identification and locational chips planted in our skin? Did Congress and the President really pass laws that would limit our power to protest the government for illegal arrest? To refuse to serve the government in times deemed "emergency cases"?
I don't know. One thing is for sure, however. It is very very possible.
Our constitution is supposed to be our ultimate guiding piece of authority in all cases and circumstances relating to government. It, fashioned by our Founding Fathers, however un-virtuous (yet intelligent) they may have been, is what ensures us of our rights and protects us. So how would you feel if I told you that our government HONESTLY doesn't giving a flying barrel of donkey-doo about it?
"The constitution is just a god-damned piece of paper" -George W. Bush
I'm sorry but lately I don't feel like government is in any way serving it's purpose. If government is supposed to serve us, those who elect and uphold it, why are we the ones living in fear, the ones being unjustly arrested or questioned, who are having our phones tapped into and our information released to "justice" officials?
It probably could be because our government is crap.
This isn't a political argument. I've come to realize that our problems are far greater than simple political issues. And, while many of us remain numbed to the real problems, exactly what the Big Guys want of us, voting for McCain or Obama won't make much of a difference.
I'm beginning to realize, slowly but surely, that revolution might be the only answer. I only hope that you all join me when the time comes.
For now, go watch this movie and make your mind up for yourself!
