Aaron Russo R.I.P (1943 - 2007)
Sad new...

| Friday, August 24, 2007 Aaron Russo Passed Away  Aaron Russo passed away today. (2/14/1943-8/24/07). There is no official word yet, but his death was most likely caused by cancer, which he was battling for years now. He was an early supporter of Ron Paul, and gave his full support to Ron Paul on 1/14/07. Russo's most recent achievement was the documentary America: Freedom to Fascism, which exposed the IRS controversy to the general public. For more information on his entertainment and political career, visit his Wiki If you want to watch his documentary, that he made available to the public on Google, click here. According to this article, on his headstone Russo wanted: "I want it to say, 'Freedom Fighter." His website, www.restoretherepublic.com has been updated with a quick memorial. There are very few details, and 1 quote: "You changed America with your presence, you have awoken millions to the truth, we will finish the game." Saw this on another blog, thought it was worth mentioning In our last telephone conversation, Aaron told me he�d kick my butt if I didn�t do what I could to ensure Ron Paul is the next president of the United States. This was his style. While some have viewed his rough-appearing exterior in a negative manner, those of us who knew him realized what a Teddy Bear he truly is. For those who aren�t aware, Aaron has a long history with Congressman Paul. |
Very sad news. He did some very interesting interviews in the recent years.
Very sad news indeed ...
R.I.P.
thank you Aaron Russo
Very sad, the good ones always leave us too soon.
very interesting clip! thank you for that!
and r.i.p.

Britons 'could be microchipped like dogs in a decade'
30.10.06
Human beings may be forced to be 'microchipped' like pet dogs, a shocking official report into the rise of the Big Brother state has warned.
The microchips - which are implanted under the skin - allow the wearer's movements to be tracked and store personal information about them.
They could be used by companies who want to keep tabs on an employee's movements or by Governments who want a foolproof way of identifying their citizens - and storing information about them.
The prospect of 'chip-citizens' - with its terrifying echoes of George Orwell's 'Big Brother' police state in the book 1984 - was raised in an official report for Britain's Information Commissioner Richard Thomas into the spread of surveillance technology.
The report, drawn up by a team of respected academics, claims that Britain is a world-leader in the use of surveillance technology and its citizens the most spied-upon in the free world.
It paints a frightening picture of what Britain might be like in ten years time unless steps are taken to regulate the use of CCTV and other spy technologies.
The reports editors Dr David Murakami Wood, managing editor of the journal Surveillance and Society and Dr Kirstie Ball, an Open University lecturer in Organisation Studies, claim that by 2016 our almost every movement, purchase and communication could be monitored by a complex network of interlinking surveillance technologies.
The most contentious prediction is the spread in the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology.
The RFID chips - which can be detected and read by radio waves - are already used in new UK passports and are also used the Oyster card system to access the London Transport network.
For the past six years European countries have been using RFID chips to identify pet animals.
Already used in America
However, its use in humans has already been trialled in America, where the chips were implanted in 70 mentally-ill elderly people in order to track their movements.
And earlier this year a security company in Ohio chipped two of its employees to allow them to enter a secure area. The glass-encased chips were planted in the recipients' upper right arms and 'read' by a device similar to a credit card reader.
In their Report on the Surveillance Society, the authors now warn: "The call for everyone to be implanted is now being seriously debated."
The authors also highlight the Government's huge enthusiasm for CCTV, pointing out that during the 1990s the Home Office spent 78 per cent of its crime prevention budget - a total of �500 million - on installing the cameras.
There are now 4.2 million CCTV cameras in Britain and the average Briton is caught on camera an astonishing 300 times every day.
This huge enthusiasm comes despite official Home Office statistics showing that CCTV cameras have 'little effect on crime levels'.
They write: "The surveillance society has come about us without us realising", adding: "Some of it is essential for providing the services we need: health, benefits, education. Some of it is more questionable. Some of it may be unjustified, intrusive and oppressive."
Yesterday Information Commissioner Richard Thomas, whose office is investigating the Post Office, HSBC, NatWest and the Royal Bank of Scotland over claims they dumped sensitive customer details in the street, said: "Many of these schemes are public sector driven, and the individual has no choice over whether or not to take part."
"People are being scrutinised and having their lives tracked, and are not even aware of it."
He has also voiced his concern about the consequences of companies, or Government agencies, building up too much personal information about someone.
He said: "It can stigmatise people. I have worries about technology being used to identify classes of people who present some kind of risk to society. And I think there are real anxieties about that."
Yesterday a spokesman for civil liberties campaigners Liberty said: "We have got nothing about these surveillance technologies in themselves, but it is their potential uses about which there are legitimate fears. Unless their uses are regulated properly, people really could find themselves living in a surveillance society.
"There is a rather scary underlying feeling that people may worry that these microchips are less about being a human being than becoming a barcoded product."

| Originally posted by Trancer-X Actually, that is what they want and they've been vocal about it on more than one occasion. Hence, another reason why I reflect upon all of this as being a prelude to an Orwellian Police State. From 2002: http://www.wired.com/politics/secur...s/2002/10/55999 They want a cashless society where everyone's personal information (financial, medical, etc.) is stored in a chip. Think of it as an all encompassing, biometric passport that will be stored under your skin. |

If you hadn't been arguing from ignorance (as you always seem to do here) you would know this. Get off your ass and do your research on it because the technology is there and it's quickly emerging. |

what's really dumb, is that the really "far out there" people (like you trancer) are doing damage to the legitimate anti-establishment movement. look at someone like opus' posts- that's what a rational and logical critique of the american institution(s) looks like. by posting ridiculous notions you ruin what small useful tidbits you may have uncovered, that have a genuine relevance to the rest of us.
in this way, you're acting far more like a disinformation agent of the secret world police than i am

arguing from ignorance is different to ignoring the paranoid charges from some google video moron who was spouting all manners of nonsense. yeah, the US is a socialist state! |
| quote: |
i do. the entire "package" that you posted shows very clearly the entire "interview" is a load of shit. do you have a degree? do you know what real intellectual discourse looks/sounds like? our narrow view? you're kidding right? my worldview is very broad, which is why im a centrist. you're the one who sees big scary brother behind every door, who posts irrelevant, unsubstantiated videos of people equally crazy as yourself, with ludicrous CTs concerning the women's lib movement (a movement i have researched much deeper than you i guarantee). again, your ideas that there is a single, united elite that can so mold and shape history shows a distinct lack of understanding for how the world really works. it must be really exciting in your world. |

Again, I can barely discern what kind of argument you're even trying to make here. The video I posted was an interview of Aaron Russo. It was kind of the original poster to make this thread in commemoration of him. All you're doing is being an ignorant twat, desecrating what was intended to be good. Kindly piss off. |

| Originally posted by shaolin_Z What kind of response are you looking for? |
Okay, so how about a similar message from politician Stan Jones?
| quote: |
| Stan Jones: I wish to thank the sponsors for inviting me; I don�t often get invited. This was an important debate. I had planned another closing message, but I feel compelled to say what I�m about to say. Now, I risk sounding like a conspiracy theorist, but it�s no longer a theory. What I�m about to say is fact. The secret organizations of the world power elite are no longer secret. They have planned and are now leading us into a one world communist government. The combining of national governments started with the European Union. That union started with trade agreements, then a common currency- the euro. And now a European parliament that is feverishly passing laws that override the laws of the member nations. A constitution was drafted, but rejected by a few of those nations, but never mind, they implemented it anyway. Now it�s North America�s turn. Building on the North American Free Trade Agreement, the NAFTA section of the commerce department is busy drafting laws and regulations for a North American Union� a union of Canada, America and Mexico. The president has attended secret meetings and signed at least two agreements under the Security and Prosperity Partnership program. Information leaked out about the meetings and now it is all out in the open. No treaty has been signed, so Congress has not become involved. However, money from our treasury is now being spent for this effort. We will have a new currency� the Amero� and a new constitution modeled on the Soviet Union�s constitution. Our rights will not be inalienable, but will be granted by government who can also take them away. One sign that this is our future is the plans for the superhighways from southern Mexico through America and into Canada. These plans are not secret any longer. Huge amounts of property will be taken in the name of �free trade�, �peace� and �security�. You will have a national ID card with a radio-frequency chip in it. That�s already law in America and will be implemented by May 2000� this man voted for it. You will not be able to move about freely. This is terrorism of the worst kind� brought on you by our own government. The strongest, freest nation in the history of mankind will be averaged into world communism. Is that what you want? Are we, the people, still in control of this nation? We must begin to act like we are! |
