Aaron Russo, Catherine Austin Fitts, Katherine Albrecht

Determined to find the law that requires American citizens to pay income tax, producer Aaron Russo set out on a journey to find the evidence. Neither left, nor right-wing, this startling examination o...( read more  read more... )f government exposes the systematic erosion of civil liberties in America since 1913 when the Federal Reserve System was fraudulently created. Through interviews with two U.S. Congressmen, former IRS Commissioner and former IRS and FBI agents, tax attorneys and authors, Russo connects the dots between money creation, federal income tax, and the national identity card, which becomes law in May 2008 and will use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. This is a precursor to an impending police state in America.

    This documentary is director Aaron Russo's last attempt to reveal the American government's tyranny on its citizens before he succumbed to cancer in summer 2007. After watching this film, I strongly agree with his true message (following my own corroborating research) and solidl...( read more)y stand in favor of his cause.
    Ever since 1913 (fraudulent inception of the privately-owned US Federal Reserve System) America has been governed by PRIVATE BANKERS, who now influence the White House and worldwide media organizations. The Bush, Rockefeller, Morgan, Rothschild and Clinton families (Republicans and Democrats) are visibly at the political helm of this Orwellian monster - with many private bankers still hiding in secrecy.
    This film clearly displays what you weren't intended to know. I will not apologize to anyone who's offended by this film, because that shows weakness in defense of our HUMAN RIGHTS. Bush has already declared Marshall Law, after the Clinton administration got the ball rolling. I'm angry at the moment, and you will be too.

    No American is legally required to file Federal Income Taxes, although the IRS unconstitutionally enforces it. Find out why:

    An amazing documentary about which not enough praise can be given. It must be seen! I don't know why it took me so long to view this. Aaron Russo (the Hollywood producer most known for Trading Places) covers many topics of import in this documentary designed to expose the loss of...( read more) liberty Americans have already went through, and that which is going to continue. Topics covered include the federal income tax (with a memorable scene with the former IRS director threatening Russo in Yiddish! - now if that don't tell you something, nothing will), the Federal Reserve, national ID cards, SpyChips, electronic voting machines and a few more. Watch this, and you will understand how we got into or current position that I.O.U.S.A. lays out.

    Aaron Russo exposes the truth about the Federal Reserve and IRS in this must see documentary. Every American should see this.
  • November 5, 2008
    This is a must see for every American! You believe you know but really you only know what you believe and belief is only belief in the truth when what you believe is true.

    Conspiracy theories about the internal revenue service - recommended for libertarians
  • July 4, 2008
    Very unbiased documentary showing how screwed up the money system and economy is. Part of the 10 steps to dictatorship happening in America and other so called democratic countries. They're really 'virtual democracies' giving off the illusion of being democratic.

    Don't treat thi...( read more)s as a documentary, those are boring, treat it as a warning. Even if warnings are boring, they're still important to listen to.

    This movie is highly interesting. It would not suprise me in the slightest if everything that guy says is true. I intend to do some research of my own into the matter. All you got to do is do a little research and you'd be suprised on what you can find about what the government is doing behind your back. Thats why they classify things its so the american public don't find out about it. They say its to protect us but to be honest I think its to keep us unware so we can't intervene. I reccomend people to do a search on the bill of rights and see how many restrictions you can find on them.
