Freedom to Fascism

I've just watched possibly one of the most enlightening films I've ever seen. It's called American: Freedom to Fascism and despite the title, it's subject matter affects us all. Unless it gets taken down (which hopefully it won't with a message so important), you can watch it here. If it does get taken down, there's a 15 minute trailer here.

It's nearly 2 hours long and the first 45 minutes or so is mostly concerned with American federal income tax having absolutely no basis in law. But it's all useful background information for what follows.

There's a Wikipedia article covering it too for a little more perspective.

It is perhaps rather one sided, but it made me stop and think, and that's what is most important. The world is a very broken place, and seems to be becoming more so by the day, and this is at least a credible explanation for why. Spare the time and watch it.

I'm going to watch George Orwell's 1984 now. Perhaps he was a few years short of the truth?
