Aaron Russo has died

[Pharoah]

Aaron Russo was passionate about Ron Paul and passionate about reaching people through his movie - America: Freedom to Fascism - so let's do all we can to honor him by getting the film out to more and more people.

I'd also like to address an earlier comment in this thread about Alex Jones being a stickler for ad breaks. I've worked in radio - and the way radio works is that certain ad breaks are programmed by the network which sends instructions to orbiting satellites. Alex can't prevent these ad breaks from happening exactly when they are supposed to... he's literally cut off to allow commercials to play. You may have heard Alex apologize to guests sometimes that the next break is unavoidable because it's a "Hard Break"... now you know the technical term for what I just described.

Aaron Russo

February 14, 1943 - August 24, 2007



You changed America with your presence, you have awoken millions to the truth, we will finish the game.


Let's make sure we do finish the game. Ron Paul getting the nomination is step ONE.

Amen.

Bless his heart.

I sure hope he didn't die due to a lack of medical coverage.

In fact, that WAS part of his problem! There was a fund set up to cover the medical costs of his cancer when it recurred - treatment was like $300,000 and he had no medical coverage.

Aaron Russo was a true patriot. The great sadness is that most Americans don't even know what he did for our country. They know when Lindsey Lohan or Paris takes a dump but are clueless about a great American Patriot.

I have yet to see anything mentioned on Yahoo or anyplace about his passing...

RIP Aaron Russo, great man, great patriot. We will definitely miss him and his work in the freedom movement.

Will the mainstream media mention his death?

There are far more obscure celebrities that get mentioned in the MSM when they die.

I have no doubt that Aaron Russo loved America and believed in what he was fighting for. To that extent, I respect him and wish his family comfort in their time of loss.

To the extent that the movie, America: Freedom to Fascism, has introduced people to Ron Paul, I guess I can applaud that. However, misinformation is no longer needed to rally the remnant. Freedom is popular and there is a movement winning the hearts and minds of Americans that has no need for the misinformation or fear mongering that Russo's movie spreads. We can openly engage in political discourse to return the federal government to it's proper role of simply protecting our liberties and do not need to rely on civil disobedience to get this message heard. ?

Just because it is your opinion that there was misinformation doesn't make it so. Actually your wrong on many accounts, and I'll mention just one. You are misrepresenting what Aaron said about paying taxes. He never once said don't pay taxes, or practice civil disobedience, he was documenting how corrupt the system is and how it has been ruled incourt that the income tax is unconstitutional. It is your opinion that they are constitutional. Fine, but don't misrepresent what he said. And informing people on RFID chips and national ID is not fear mongering, it is called waking people up about a very important issue before it is too late.

Spreading lies will result in blowback against our cause.

It doesn't surprise me that something as distasteful as this remark comes from someone obviously so full of himself he couldn't wait to say that until a later time.
Unbelievable.

Who's saying Freedom to Fascism was misinformation?
It was purely based on fact!

And even though he didn't, Russo SHOULD have preached civil disobedience!
Why should we follow immoral laws, just because they are laws? If 60% of Americans practiced civil disobedience and simply stopped paying their income taxes, we could make series change to this country.

Of course, that's plan B in case Ron Paul doesn't win.

The audio is bad, but for the most part comprehensible.
