“The controversial film by Aaron Russo, ‘America: Freedom to Fascism,’ received a standing ovation and considerable media buzz, both during and after its presentation at the Cannes Film Festival this week, according to a press release from Russo. The film deals with the history of America, regarding the many governmental organizations and entities that have abridged the freedoms of U.S. citizens. Using interviews with U.S. Congressmen, the former IRS Commissioner, former IRS and FBI agents, tax attorneys and authors. Russo ‘proves conclusively that there is no law requiring citizens to pay a direct tax on their labor. His film connects the dots between money creation, federal income tax, voter fraud, the national identity card … and the implementation of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to track citizens.’ During the Cannes showing, actor Nick Nolte joined Russo and strongly endorsed the film, stating that, ‘The information in this film is something everybody has to know.’ Nolte was the lead actor in ‘Teachers,’ a film Russo produced. The film has already been previewed in over twenty-five cities, reportedly to sold out audiences and standing ovations. … It is scheduled to open across America on July 28.” (05/26/06)
