Crowds formed, the cream of the crop, the well informed lovers of liberty
in Utah gathered. A great enthusiasm and energy prevailed. Anticipation
was high. A line for the 575 seat theater began to grow, volunteers
checked off names to ticket reservations at a table. Soon theater staff
began to ask the snake of a line to squish and make more room. Then
the doors opened, and the theater began to be filled. Two great men
in Utah felt it an honor to use their capital to rent this large theater
for a $1200 price tag to give Utahan's the opportunity to see this film.
There were some in the audience who came as far away as Phoenix Arizona.
Aaron Russo
was not in attendance as he was at the Cannes
Film Festival giving this superb movie an international exposition.
However, the day previous, Aaron spoke on Air
to the wonderful Barbara Jean, the "First
Lady" of talk Radio in Utah, who attended the screening.
Tim Costello introduced the film and then the screening began.
Russo hit two major planks of the communist manifesto that were entrenched
in 1913 in the USA, a Central Bank (private) and the graduated income
tax.
As the film moved along, applause would roll forth out of the audience.
At one point, a half dozen or more US Senators were shown, all traitors,
and low and behold, the Utah Audience booed US Senator Orrin Hatch (R)
as well as Bob Bennett (R). These men obviously did not find fans in
this audience.
For me, the film really had me feeling deeply hostile toward government
power run amok when Police officers were shown abusing a woman in her
car, and then the listing of Executive Orders authored in Hell by the
fiends of the fiery pit, signed by men who worship the damned devil
in hell himself, men who have sworn
oaths to secret societies, including but not limited to the current
traitor-in-Chief, President George W. Bush, grandson
of a Nazi Financier, US Senator Prescot Bush.
I must watch the film again, and again, and again. I want to have it
played for every American. I have prayed deeply and sincerely to the
God of Heaven to bless Aaron Russo and uphold him in the good cause
he has brought forth. Truly,
it is a "duty" which we owe to the rising generation to "bring
to light the hidden things of darkness" and to "waste and
wear out our lives" in doing so. Aaron Russo's film is the
greatest cinematic tool we've ever had for doing this.

Reviews
Mark:
This documentary is vitally important to get into the hands of every
Utahan and every American. Aaron Russo must make this available on DVD
for a grass roots effort. I fear that he will face tremendous opposition
with this in getting any success in the mainstream media and movie theaters.
Advertising will be difficult. It must come from word of mouth.
This is a phenomenal expose of the powers that be which control the
government. The message that ‘we the people’ must
take our nation back is extremely important to share with every living
soul within our nation’s borders – the REAL borders, not
the globalists’ borders. We need to do all we can to get
this available on DVD as soon as possible. This will also greatly help
all of the campaigns for Constitution Party candidates who can get back
to Congress and stand with Ron Paul and try to “bring to light
the hidden things of darkness”. We must unseat the majority
of Republicans and Democrats who now infest the United States House
and Senate. What a life changing event this documentary will be
for any who view it. I was emotionally disturbed and saddened
by what I saw of the destruction of our free nation and our liberties
and the disintegration of our nation into a Totalitarian Police State.
We must act NOW if we are to save our Constitution and the Republic
it established. Thank’s Aaron Russo for having the courage to
stand against evil and corruption in very high places.

Gordon: The Film determined
to find the law that requires American citizens to pay income tax, producer
Aaron Russo ("The Rose," "Trading Places") set out
on a journey to find the evidence. This film which is neither left,
nor right-wing is a startling examination of government. It exposes
the systematic erosion of civil liberties in America since 1913 when
the Federal Reserve system was fraudulently created. Through interviews
with U.S. Congressmen, a former IRS Commissioner, former IRS and FBI
agents and 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. This ID card will use Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) chips which are essentially homing devices used to track people.
This film shows in great detail and undeniable facts that America is
moving headlong into a fascist police state. Wake up!
I have long since known about the things covered in the film, but have
never seen something so well produced. This IS the film to inform
the skeptic and the rest of us. I'm sure I will own this in my own library
at some point. Looks like Aaron is trying to launch in theaters, but
due to the subject matter, I'm not sure he'll make it. I'll pray that
he does, however. Might be 6 months or more until available on DVD.

Scott: I brought my 17
year old son to the movie last night. I learned some new and
powerful information that is compelling and teaches even more the dire
circumstances we are in. I am amazed at how blind America is. But as
impressed as I was, my son was double that impressed. After the movie
he
said he will commit himself to spreading the word to all of his friends
and
teachers. There are several high school kids in our neighborhood and
ward
who are just as passionate and angry as he is. These kids normally don't
get
excited about too many serious things but these kids are ready to carry
the
banner for their generation. This is a great hope for our future.
Give my best to Aaron Russo!

Some Quotations on Banking by the Founders, some of
which were quoted in the film:
This movie is leaving audiences speechless, some in rage and furry,
some in tears at what has occurred, and it invariably brings a standing
ovation from on-line accounts.
Those watching this film will surely be brought to better understand
and consider the true traitors of the American Republic, those who in
1913 dealt the Republic it’s greatest blow when they succeeded
in passing the Marxist graduated Income tax, as well as the Federal
Reserve Act, the means to debauch the nations currency. Vladimir Lenin
stated:
“The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch
the currency”
Gratefully, there is an amazing documentary, The
Money Masters which details more of this, from which the following
quotations are derived. The awful legislation of that fateful year of
1913 later led President Woodrow Wilson to lament:
I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A
great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our
system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore,
and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come
to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled
and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government
by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote
of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small
group of dominant men.
----Woodrow Wilson
The Founders of course knew the issues, and Wilson should have been
wise enough not to have been seduced by the "Money Trust"
and to enthrone it.
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue
of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks...will
deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless
on the continent their fathers conquered.... The issuing power should
be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly
belongs.
-----Thomas Jefferson
Another US Founder, Father of the US Constitution:
History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse,
intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control
over governments by controlling money and its issuance.
----James Madison
The enemy of the National Bank, Andrew Jackson boldly stated:
If congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money,
it was given them to use themselves, not to be delegated to individuals
or corporations.
-----Andrew Jackson
And, certainly Abraham Lincoln knew what was up, and before he could
make remedy was shot and killed:
The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency
and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government
and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles,
the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease
to be master and become the servant of humanity.
-----Abraham Lincoln
I hope this film rocks this nation into understanding what has occurred.
Do we realize that were we to have maintained the system of limited,
Constitutional Government free of the powers of the “moneyed interest”
or the “Money Trust” we would see today prosperity that
would shock the most optimistic economists. Did I not just hear today
that the dollar has lost 50% of it’s value, a cut in half of it’s
purchasing power in the last 25-30 years? Where did this wealth go?
This movie will help people understand where it went if they don’t
quite have figured out what Inflation is and how it is the best means
of legalized plunder yet known to scheming, vicious, and greedy men
such as Lord Rothschild (one of the most sophisticated and scheming
Bankers of all time) who stated:
“Give me control of a nations currency, and I care not who
makes its laws.”
Watch the trailer, spread the word--- look forward to seeing this film
and shout it from the rooftops. Remember the words of the vicious Vladimir
Lenin: “The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch
the currency,” this we see in America, and this is part of what
is exposed in this film.
