Check out the trailer for Aaron Russo's new movie
http://freedomtofascism.com/
It addresses exactly your point.
I had the rare treat of seeing a preview twice, and it is intelligent
and funny and heartwretching and sheeple waking poised to appeal to a
mainstream commercial movie audience as a runaway hit.
It is still in preview, but has the support of folks from nose pierced
rockers to bible-thumpers on a universal issue to which we can agree,
whoever we are.
We need to make Aaron Russo's movie that he's spent two years of 15 hour
days on and a couple million of his own dollars into a Boxoffice
Favorite and make lines around the block like happened when Starwars
first came out.
He wants to put it out for the Fourth of July weekend opening.
It will be a phenomena. If debunkers try to attack it, that will just
make more buzz.
It is at least as interesting as Jaws, only with real sharks.
The movie does not mention 911 or any other divisive issue.
It zeros in on the Federal Reserve and the IRS in a way that cannot be
dismissed as conspiracy theory.
It is humorous and serious and educational and entertaining all at the
same time.
When as diverse of characters as me and Michael Ruppert can agree on
something, that's dammmmm universal.

It's gonna deserve an Oscar nomination for best Documentary, I swear.
It's the kind of movie that will have people networking in the lines as
they wait to see it for the tenth time.
By then it will be available on DVD, but live and in person sharing of
concerns and strategy for solving the problem and establishing soverign
money will make networks in the lines and the lobby afterwards.
It was a wakeup call for a lot of people this weekend. One lady saw it
Thursday night, and left the showing crying.
She came for the St. Charles, IL showing to see it again, tho.
This is a phenomena.

Born in Brooklyn and raised on Long Island, producer Aaron Russo began
promoting rock and roll shows at local theaters while still a high
school student. He then worked for his family’s undergarment business,
where in 1963, he designed the first ladies bikini under wear. Five
years later the twenty four year old entrepreneur opened his own
nightclub in Chicago called the Kinetic Playground which became a
driving force in the music business, where Aaron helped create the
careers of many legendary performers, such as Led Zeppelin. Aaron was
responsible for bringing them to America for the first time. He also
promoted some of the 60's most successful rock acts, including The Who,
Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane.
In 1972, Russo began his seven year partnership with Bette Midler, who
became a superstar during his management of her career. In 1975 he
produced the Tony award- winning "Clams on the Half-Shell Revue," which
starred Bette Midler and Lionel Hampton. At the time it was the most
successful ten-week broadway revue in history, grossing more than $1.8
million. While serving as Midler's manager, Russo created and managed
the Manhattan Transfer. Later his roster would include such
personalities as David Keith, Frederic Forest, Susan Sarandon and other
notable clients.
When Russo turned to producing feature films, his production of “The
Rose”, introduced Bette Midler to motion picture audiences. Midler
received an Academy Award nomination as best actress. “The Rose” is
considered by many to be the classic rock n’ roll film. Russo also
produced "Trading Places," starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd, which
has become a Christmas classic, and "Teachers," starring Nick Nolte,
Morgan Freeman, and Ralph Macchio.
Over the past years, Russo has received numerous awards for his
achievements. They include a Grammy, a Tony, an Emmy for producing the
best television special of the year "OL' Red Hair is Back," starring
Dustin Hoffman and Bette Midler, plus many gold and platinum records. To
date his films have been nominated for six Academy Awards, as well as
seven Golden Globes. His films have won three Golden Globes, as well as
the Image Award.
He is now writing, producing, and directing a new feature
film/documentary titled “America...From Freedom To Fascism”. The film is
an expose of the Internal Revenue Service, and proves conclusively there
is no law requiring an American citizen to pay a direct unapportioned
Tax on their labor. The film is very provocative and is receiving
standing ovations at its previews.
In 1996 Russo made a political video entitled "Aaron Russo's Mad as
Hell", which was a hit throughout America. He was asked by the people of
Nevada to run for governor and he made the decision to do so. The powers
that be in Nevada scoffed at his decision to run for governor but were
very surprised when he finished second with nearly thirty percent of the
vote, beating the sitting lieutenant governor. In January of 2004, he
declared his candidacy for the Libertarian Party's nomination for
President of the Untied States. At the Convention in May, Russo won the
first two ballots, but not a majority. He was defeated on the third and
final ballot. He then channelled his energy into writing/directing
America: From Freedom to Fascism.

People are welcome to arrange prescreenings in their own area.
That is how the listed ones are happening.
Then the film goes to Cannes like any other mainstream theatrical
release from a well known director, which it is.
It might even win a prize for making people laugh and cry at the same time.
You're right.

Aaron Russo agrees with you, and it's his message too.
