Topic: Aaron Russo: Feb 14, 1943 - Aug 24, 2007

From http://www.homelandstupidity.us/2007/08 … 1943-2007:

Award-winning filmmaker and libertarian political activist Aaron Russo succumbed to cancer Friday at age 64.

Russo was best known for his films, most famous among them Trading Places and The Rose, which won three Golden Globe awards in 1980.

What’s less well known is that he was also instrumental in bringing musical acts to the United States in the 1970s, including one of my all-time favorites, Led Zeppelin.

In his later years, though, Russo turned to politics. In 1996 he produced and starred in a film, Mad as Hell, where he criticized many government policies such as the national ID card, the war on drugs, and government regulation of alternative medicine. In 1998 he ran in the Republican primary for governor of Nevada but was defeated. In 2002, before he could decide whether to run again, he was diagnosed with bladder cancer.

In 2004 he ran for President under the Libertarian Party banner, but failed to get the nomination.

Most recently he produced a documentary film, America: Freedom to Fascism, showing a quest to discover which law requires Americans to pay federal income taxes and finding something quite different.

And in 2007 he was one of the first to endorse Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) for President, doing so even before Paul announced his candidacy. Just before he died he spoke to long time friend and libertarian activist Stephen Gordon about Ron Paul:

    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 was. For those who aren’t aware, Aaron has a long history with Congressman Paul. — Gordon Unleashed

Gordon also says: “If I had to guess the epitaph Aaron would prefer, it would be this: All your freedoms, all the time!” We can honor the legacy of Aaron Russo by rededicating ourselves to the fight to reclaim our lost liberties.

I was a little shocked to find out about this last week (and didn't notice your thread until today). I had no idea he was even ill, but that explains a lot about him going out on a limb and producing F2F... he knew they couldn't touch him.
AR had a cool energy about him, and it's true that another light has left the material world.

For those who don't already know all about it, the two linked movies provide great insights to illuminati control of this culture, their objectives and MO, the theft of US currency by the banking industry and the now negative value of our so called money.

I was actually followed kid mongo's post on the dead serie … hp?id=5641 the other day and noticed arron Russo's name was on the list of people who were communicating from the other side.  I remember remarking to myself how I thought that this was the same person  who had done "From freedom to Fascism"  and thinking that it must not be the same person as he was still alive as far as I knew.  I guess they put out this video at destini the day after he dide according to the date on this post's subject.

Just to give this a bit of balance, and since I started the thread, I'm going to interject here that though I think the 'dead series channelings' are pretty much bunk.  Dreamosis recently posted an enlightening article about misinfo/discinfo in the NR main page articles.  In looking at the dead series bits, if one were to apply any of rule #2, #3, #5, or #9, the accuracy of the material quickly falls away.

I do appreciate kid mongo's enthusiasm and search for spiritual insights, and kid mongo I would not dissuade you from your quest itself - ever.  It is the material being promoted that I have a problem believing.

In my opinion there is considerable purpose behind both the intuition and reasoning faculties which we have been bestowed in this human being form. 

In other words, sure we can exist and maybe even life a good life if we only had one eye.  (In all likelyhood though our life would be quite limited, as compared to having two.)  Saying or implying that discernment is useless is sort of like having two eyes and gouging one out because we can get away with it.
