America: Freedom to Fascism (Vanity of sorts)
PBS | 9/20/09 | PBS

Posted on 09/20/2009 8:42:57 PM PDT by elpinta

Well, I am confused: this is the first and only program I ever stumbled upon on PBS that actually talks about our march to Fascism/Socialism.


TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Crime/Corruption; Government; Miscellaneous; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: corruption; freedom; missinglink; newworldorder; socialism

Full of clips, and blasts Clinton as well as Bush for what they have done in recent history to speed our march to Fascism. Yes, there is a bit of a 'left' slant, BUT they do pound on the media, the monetary system, etc. This is airing 7 to 10 PM on the Denver Metro area, Channel 12.

Too bad I caught this late.

They point to this website as part of the info:
http://www.freedomtofascism.com/

And callers from the left and right are apparently blasting them.

Please elaborate, I never heard PBS talk about this with so many specifics.
My total PBS viewing time is about <1 minute a year, I just stumbled over the program title.

It seems to be a pretty good documentary - what are the objections to it?

No objections from me from the short time I watched it, just that is so not-like-PBS, that is all.

This is a pretty famous movie in some circles. I’m surprised that many here haven’t heard of this movie.

It’s a conspiracy theory movie, there are a lot out there, this is one of the most famous. It’s passed along from person to person on dvd, it’s available on youtube, has a lot of views there, etc. The filmmaker, Aaron Russo, was the director of the movie Trading Places back in the 80’s.

If it’s talking about fascism, it needs to mention the practice of forcing tax payers to fund left wing activists like Bill Moyers.

Never ingest ANY media unless you know the source....you find stuff growing on cowpatties that looks good but are poison...

First thing I want to know when somebody tries to tell me something is, who the somebody is...and what else have they had to say in the past...

This is Arron Russo’s work. He is best known for the Eddie Murphy/Dan Akroyd comedy “Trading Places” which explores the criminal manipulation of markets by the elite. And yes, we are entering Fascism, Mussolini style. An tyranical oligarchy that controls the state/corporate mechanism. The empire pimps the American military with the goal of establishing a global fascist government with the Bankers in control. The empire’s interests are diametrically opposed to those of red blooded Americans. This is an old battle. The war of 1812 was the result of the young Americans refusing to continue the grant of the Rothschilds to run the American bank. We won that war but ate crow shortly after, granting the Rothschilds a new charter because, just as they had planned, we were broke as a result of the war. GOD BLESS Andrew Jackson! He threw the foreign bankers out and we were free of them until the 1913 restoration by the Federal Reserve. Where is our Andrew Jackson today!!?? We need him!

OK, got it.
What surprised me is that they had some irate callers because they were talking about the role the government was playing in the path to Fascism.
We know that PBS regulars and contributors are leftists, so I just thought it strange.

Forcing any citizen to pay for another is unconstitutional

Look, if the film has credence for you then it does. Don’t let anyone’s opinion sway you as to it’s authenticity. Watch it more than once on youtube...there are interviews with Russo available also.

architects and engineers is the video stirring a ruckus these days...there’s even a retired military and intelligence officer group calling for a new investigation

There exist a wide variety of conspiracy theory movies. This one is more from the Right than from the Left. I’d say that it’s worth seeing, but I haven’t seen it in years. FR used to have a fairly significant percentage of people who would consider conspiracy theories. Most of those people are long gone. Those who remain don’t typically discuss conspiracy theories.

Nah, I sort of watched like 15-20 minutes; the message I heard was not consistent w/PBS so it caught my eye.
I sure don’t plan to look it up knowing the source, but it did strike a nerve with the audience, and it wasn’t the usual nerve, just weird.
