None of us want to believe the facts brought out in this documentary. Russo makes many of them undeniably clear. If you are suspicious of the underlying forces at work in American government, you'll be scared, stunned and angered by this sad expose. You'll see a former IRS commissioner squirm when asked exactly the questions he doesn't want to answer.

This documentary helped me piece together many bewildering actions of those in government.

Why are we occupying Iraq and building permanent bases? Why the constant scare tactics about the "War on Terror"? Why is the media so absent on certain issues? NPP? This movie explains a lot. Every American should see it.

Authoritarian rulers have come to power over and over again throughout history. Why do you believe it can't happen in our country?

This is one documentary that EVERYBODY should see. Be you American, British, Asian, Chinese, black, white, purple or green this film is a door opener to the world of the elitist brigade that are running our entire planet. I am English, so this movie doesn't affect me directly, but if I were American I would be sincerely worried about the state of my country (I know I am about my own).

As a film this works kind of awkwardly,Russo's commentary is sometimes dull and monotone but the message it carries is difficult to ignore. I do not want to compare this with the current flood of 911 'conspiracy' documentaries but it is difficult to measure against any other kind of film, however, saying that I think this is a great eye opener to a wider picture that maybe will appeal to more people because of it's 'you don't have to pay income tax' narrative. I hope that people that see this film are prepared for the can of worms that will open when they look to the internet for answers on the Federal Reserve system.

There is a very interesting interview with Robert Ross on Google video that people might like to check out, it explains the banking system in shocking detail. It can be found here: http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay docid=2627291467605375185&q=robert+ross

So you like hearing about how you are being grifted by what was supposed to be the "servant of the people"… Great! Here is a good place to start.

As a film… the first half of this was excellent. It is completely worth seeing if you pay taxes… or are considering paying taxes someday. Aaron Russo sets out to make a point… and does it pretty well. Very good interview footage and great editing. You can argue the validity of his claims with outside information all you want and cite whatever technicality that you wish… and you might be right… but NOBODY can refute this statement; "You don't get all the facts from Uncle Sam… and when you don't get the facts, usually there is something to hide." So at the very least, this doc is effective at illustrating that point using the IRS and the income tax issue as a case study.

The second half of the movie gets a little more wide eyed and points, vaguely, in the direction some other issues that Russo would like us to look in including RFID, corporate monopoly over the media, and the New World Order wisely avoiding the word "Illuminati". The fastest way to get anything legitimate you have to say dismissed is to even whisper that word. I didn't mind it, but I could see how the ending could off putting to those of us who haven't read "Behold a Pale Horse" or spent a few hours in a room with Jim Marrs.

Russo's sincerity shines through this movie and I don't recall him directing the viewer towards any particular interest group, (other than a general acceptance of 3rd party candidates) which is refreshing.

In conclusion… go see this movie. It is a wonderful piece of work that will shine a very uncomfortable light on your current perspective… unless you've been bull-horning the Bilderbergers for years, in which case you already knew all of this was happening and are probably just happy that you and your family haven't been forced to manually turn the turbines that power Mt. Weather.
