I get a lot of comments and email from people quoting Russo’s movie, which is an absurd mish mash of conspiracy theories culled from the fringe right and fringe left cobbled together to “prove” that you don’t have to pay income taxes. My friends from the tax protest movement, and anyone who believes in any of the Illuminati/Freemason/skull and bones nonsense that floats around the ‘net, will be interested to see this film, which compiles them all into a simple paranoid framework. The Capitalist Conspiracy by G. Edward Griffin is the grandfather of all conspiracy movies filmed in the ’60’s. It is also complete bunk. It’s in five parts on YouTube, but I’ll embed it here for easier viewing:

Unlike the tax protest movement, at least Griffin doesn’t turn his conspiracy into an anti-Semitic rant. So boys, since you won’t provide any real sources for your claims I’ve done it for you. Here it is in all its glory, the source of all your theories. But wait a second, doesn’t Russo claim he had first hand knowledge of the conspiracy?

Yet his movie is suspiciously reminiscent of Griffin’s. Hmmmm, could it be that Russo’s a lying fraud? You tell me.
