Aaron Russo 2/9:Reflections And Warnings

[doubleyouowe]

and as for democracy.. "to the REPUBLIC, for which it stands"

[doubleyouowe]

ex post facto law = unconstitutional

[LiteWaiter]

Retroactively get the corrupt banksters!!! and the corrupt governments, ad the corrupt industrials.

RETROACTIVE is the key word. GET THEM, retroactive.

[anddihier]

It is hard to believe these greedy bankers get away with anything they want...wow, we the people could actually rise up and refuse to put up with this and why don't we? It's just not fair...I guess money isn't the answer and these men will have to pay an eternity for their greed...Christians, hold on the Lord is coming soon with power and rewards for all who've waited on Him and suffered at these evil mens hands. Bless you all--be strong and help the bretheren. Eternity is yours--Bliss!

[lawnmandbg33]

We lost a great man for the cause!

[ncwdane]

I Like this Guy

I wish he were still alive

I think he woulda been a good president just cause of his insight & sincerity

GOD BLESS ALEX JONES! RON PAUL 2012!!!

Excellent, however clip 2 and wherein Aaron Russo says the U.S. is not a democracy, but, instead, a Constitutional Republic, would be better with some open debate on the democracy part.

The U.S. doesn't have elections with 51% of electors voting in the same way. Often, more people abstain from voting than the person elected gets for votes. In Haiti and Venezuela, Aristide and Chavez won by landslides in elections. Those were contrasting examples of democracy, from what AR describes.

[mikecorbeil]

Where is it written that the government is to be for, of and by The People? If this is in the Constitution, then what does this clause or stipulation mean, if not democracy? It means The People are to elect their political representatives, So what's the difference from democratic representation?

That's putting aside that, usually, more electors abstain and don't vote for most candidates elected to office than they get for votes, meaning they win by minorities, which is not democratic.

[mikecorbeil]

I agree with Aaron Russo about democracy being an illusion in the U.S., but that's the U.S. The same doesn't apply when considering Haitian and Venezuelan elections as I already mentioned in my first post.

He should be asked about those elections and asked if he thinks tthose democratic elections have anything wrong or unjust about them.

However, he's right that legitimate rights and liberties shouldn't be overridden even by majorities. PM Jean Chretien said this in Canada re. same-sex unions.

[wardmjwrd]

The concept of human freedom begins with this truth. Humans are created in the image of the living God. Note the countries who reject God : Former CCCP, North Korea, Vietnam, China. Our government is also trying to rid this nation of God-Jesus Christ through humanistic brain washing to strip us of our freedom. Liberty at all levels is only possible through God and his son Jesus Christ.

god sucks

[jsax2012]

very very good comment. i appreciate this

[Girls4RonPaul]

"Our country's founders cherished liberty, not democracy." Ron Paul

[dimitraeus202]

Russo goes too far saying that 'democracy = NWO' and is bad etc etc.

The truth is, democracy was founded in Ancient Greece as a philosophical and great concept, and socrates constantly warned about the 'sophists' ie professional politicians and spin doctors because they would use truth and wisdom 'for the benefit of themselves rather than for the benefit of the good'. Democracy, if we really had it, and done well, could be great.

[Girls4RonPaul]

do some research kid

[mozanbeek87]

@dimitraeus202 yeah what you have to remember is athenian democracy had three classes of citzens consisting only of men . their entire society was entirely based around the 'serfs' , slaves population which laboured the land and served with out representaion or justice . im glad you you brought up the ancient greek period i think it has excelant parrellels,for example look at the delian league.athens / america goin round the aegean/ the world slappin everyone into line.democracy is a myth

[puzzey83]

em u dont have to do extensive research to realize that ideology is prepackaged knowledge, because its written in some book people follow it blindly, religion is man made therefore an ideology em ya if u count five years in sociology extensive than ya its pretty damn extensive

[puzzey83]

religion follows a certain ideology which stops you from critically thinking on your own, break away and think for your damn self, stop following a man made control system, believe in god fine bbut religion is clearly manipulative

[bdvzim]

I suppose you have done an exhaustive research of all the major religions to come to such a concrete and final conclusion? :)

[CLEVERBRA1N]

Who says people following a religion cease to be able to think? Read a Bible and you stop thinking? What about a math book? Math books follow a certain set of rules which stop you from thinking on your own. Is mathematics the place for creativity? 2+2=5 puts more $ in my wallet and way less restrictive! right? no! In the same way religion is not a place for you to make things up. It is defined. Just believing in god as you suggest is deism which is really just a form of self-worship

[GtheMVP]

THere's nothing wrong with the bible, it's a classic piece of history, fiction and morality.

My problem is with people who live their lives by it, after-all it's a closed fixed book. We're always evolving, so following centuries old teachings is intellectually stagnating.

Islam has an even bigger problem, as they've never even had a new testament, so talk aobut draconian nonsense.

We always need to evolve with the Universe around us, nothing is static.

[CLEVERBRA1N]

GtheMVP, you admit that the Bible is a piece of history and a moral book but then you say it cannot apply to us because we are evolved?

Does history not repeat itself? Is morality no longer relevant? It sounds as if you think we've evolved beyond what makes us human!

"Evolving with the Universe" is a new age religious concept- the New Age Movement is based off of the ancient mystery religions and esoteric tradition.  There is nothing new under the sun- we're not as evolved as you think

[GtheMVP]

We can learn many tihngs from the stories in it, I'm just saying we shouldn't limit ourselves to the content of it solely, things change, people evolve. The new testament is example of the need for change.

I tihnk we do ourselves a disservice when we limit ourselves to a clsoed book, especially when it's centuries old.

Islam is a fine example, if any religion needs an upgrade... :)

[dimitraeus202]

puzzey, you are right that religion can have a controlling effect, but that is only because people do not realise its roots and that it is a 'templatised' form of spirituality. I used to think like you, but remember a certain Martin Luther King? Now try sayinf religion is repressive- he was a devout christian and freed a whole race from bigotry. If you or I were half the man he were, we would be doing well.

[HailRasec]

8:24 Democracy did not bring about the creation of the federal reserve. The fed was created without public consent.

[roycegracie11]

attention idiots arguing about their beliefs...

have you heard of freedom of religion? that means anyone can believe whatever they want. that means if someone wants to believe in unicorns ruling the world, they can. it's no one elses business. i for one don't believe in religion but i also beleive that there has to be some sort of god. whether god is a thing, man, woman. no one will ever know the answers to these type of questions. we should just forget about it and try to get out freedoms back

[mattsnow81]

totally riveting interview!

[gosciu555]

Look people believe in god cause THEY ARE PEOPLE, okay, its like hunger, or hope or other things. People need a god to guide them in their behavior.

[apacheslim]

yes i am stupid because i dont believe in god

stupid insolent ignoramus

[iridespinners]

just believe in GOD why is itso hard for ppl to accept the fact GOD EXISTS

so does Lucifer

[apacheslim]

fuck up

you dumb fuck

[m0l0b0l0]

Proof? Superstition is not proof.

Why are you going to believe in something you don't know exists? Because you're scared you might be wrong? Now that sounds like terrorism.

If there is a god, he's one sick, immoral bastard.

[ElliotWoolf]

Because there is NO EVIDENCE.

[apacheslim]

there is no such thing as god

dont be naive

[rockstarjp70]

sad thing is ther nothing you can do change it. fight the system go to jail be portrayed as a social pariah. i want change. but what is the next step of crying on the internet.(the last bastion of all freaks and weirdos and conspiracy theorist).

[mikkitiny]

speaking frankly, at all drow-backs of democracy, what system would be better? i guess it does not exist yet.

as for FRS, i do not know much about banking and why it was created in the first place. however, retroactive taxation seems ridiculous if not criminal.

[lenowin]

The system wouldn't matter, every country is being fucked over by the same guys, the ones with all the money. The bankers etc.

[mikkitiny]

does it mean they should be put under stricter control and regulations? so that they knew what they could do and what could not?

[chevelle3429]

to be honest i view america totally different than what i did 5 or 6 months ago. lol yeah i got something out of being laid off work. that is when i saw this interview and other subjects. i never have completely trusted the goverment anyhow even though i was military, that was for me and to help the people if needed. but i realized how used we are like the mob then i started waking up. resistance is in the military now from the goverment. what kind of commie nation do we live in? fuckin sad

[djnextone]

it was definitely a real and major turning point for me when i saw aaron russo blow the whistle publicly on that devil rockefeller. may he rest in peace, what a great life.

[Schmauey]

It was from a syndicated column called "Glad You Asked That."

"Q: Bette Midler, that offbeat entertainer, gets a lot of publicity and apparently is in the money these days. The question is, will she have anything left after this flush of prosperity? Or will she. like so many other popular performers, end up trying to pay her bills in press clippings? — K. P. Devore, Columbus, Ohio."

(Answer in next comment)

[Schmauey]

Thanks for giving us this footage. Aaron is (still) the man! When he talks about his precious metals and the IRS coming after him in this part, I recall an old news clipping I found online from 8/2/1978. I'll post the text here in more comments, plus a link to an image of the newspaper clipping...

[Schmauey]

Aaaaand, YT will not allow me to post the link in any manner. Send me a message if you'd like it. It was just pretty cool to see this in a news column from back in 1978.

[MrSteveDoe]

Aaron is exactly right, this is not the America we thought it was.

[nyomythus]

Retroactive laws are illegal in the U.S. -- I get the feeling they're not telling the whole story...

[JustAnotherDisguise]

I remember I was bored one day, a freshman in college three years ago. I decided to go on youtube and the first video I ever watched that sparked the truth movement for me was his video on the IRS. Every Monday I'd go down to the local mall to get food during a break and I noticed a decline in stores being shut-down so I decided to look into things myself on youtube. Looking for users taking their time showing facts etc. Vision Victory and Demcad to name a few. 2/3rd of the mall is closed now.

[Arginine88]

damn good interview my GOD!

[lastpatriot4America]

Aaron was always right on target. And he speaks to you not at you. I know Aaron has a place at Gods right hand. You don't have to be a great man.. Just be a good man. Or Women. First they ignore you, Then they laugh at you, Then they fight you, Then you win.

[rungy07]

Thank you for posting these clips of Aaron...he's a total bad ass.

[mcap52]

The whole tax system is illegal.Think about exactly how many different taxes you pay,it is astounding.

[ikill4klondikebars]

except that not all the taxes you pay are federal. Many are states. And the constitution isn't against paying state taxes. State taxes pay for services, as do city taxes. Federal taxes pay for nothing but gov't to expand its size and power.

[stephansjc]

r.i.p. aaron russo

[OneManAndHisFiction]

Check out: George Mercier's "Invisible Contracts"

...he speaks on how we stand under the "color of law" as an artificial person (such as a corporate-entity) and how we become liable for Corporate (Income) Tax - because we are acting as a corporate-entity.

Bill Thornton explains how you can stand as one of the People with unalienable rights at common law and avoid submitting to such a law...

[alex3914]

Who do we shoot...

[Xmen1312]

America has been taken over by criminals since 1913 people need to wake up and do your research. End the Fed.

[Agnostic2008]

This example with the retroactive IRS law is the best proof that US is no longer a country of law.

[LemonAndYoghurt]

i havent seen it "a hundred times" and everytime i relisten to it i find it refreshing and i always find something that i heard the first time but almost forgot. theres just so much information and arguments, you ahve to listen to it in fractions and understand every bit they are saying. and it will stick better.

memorable interview!!

[TheloanWolf1]

This is Good

[ivancirkovic]

Because it is an important interview!!!!

[rainstormaeroponics]
