Dorito Ads
Those guys at Doritos are pretty smart, having the public make their ads for them. They are pretty funny, and short, so I thought I'd give them a shout-out.

Freedom To Fascism
This is Aaron Russo's documentary. Now, I heard an hour-long interview with Russo on NPR and he (and the host for that matter) said he believes 9/11 was perpetrated by the US government, and the movie is a bit outlandish, but I spent a couple of hours researching the things he talks about, and lot of it is true. This is a 2 hour long movie, and Russo is clearly politically motivated and warps some facts, but I do suggest you give it at least a few minutes. Among the highlights:

-There is no law that says Americans must pay individual income tax (The IRS disagrees)
-There are 800 FEMA-run detainment centers in the US which (in his view) exist to imprison Americans
-The Federal Reserve is a cartel of private banks with no government oversight
-24 people were arrested for tax evasion, and they all asked the IRS to show them the law that said they had to pay income tax, and when the IRS refused to (because there is no such law, according to Russo), they were aquitted.
-There are Executive Orders that say, in a Presentially declared state of emergency:
-pharma companies can invent and provide untested medication without liability.
-the government can force you to take said medication
-the goverment can sieze anyone's (seriously... ANYONE'S) airplanes, cars, houses, buildings, roads, food, weapons, and medical supplies, without any sort of approval. They wouldn't have to return it
-Congress cannot question the state of emergency for 6 months
-The gov't can arrest anyone, without cause, and hold them, without trial, for as long as they want
-The gov't can force anyone to work on a forced labor camp

Sounds like a joke right? Who made this shit up??

Yeah, a lot of it is true. Look it up for yourself if you don't believe me... I did. A lot isn't of course, or rather, is, but only if you ignore other things... for example, he gets all upset that we have a graduated income tax when the Consitution says that this is illegal. Well, that's true, the Constitution does say it's illegal, it says that all taxes must be equal to all. But in the last 225+ years there have been a lot of changes in the law.

Anyhow, here is a review that I agree with, which says pretty much what I'd blog if I wanted to keep typing, which I don't.
