I just watched it for the first time. Because it doesn't lead with the income tax issue first, I think it's a better introduction to the Fed/IRS situation, because many viewers have a predisposed aversion to the views of "tax dodgers". In short, until they realize what money is, they can't understand why taxes are such an important part of the equation. It does cover the tax issue a bit near the end, so it's a good lead-in to AFF2F. And it has lots of RP in it - but not right off the bat, and only on the money issue - so it won't turn off those who don't agree with his other views or are sick of hearing about him from you...;-) It doesn't look dated like "The Money Masters" and it's only one hour long (MM is 3.5 hrs.!), so it won't put them to sleep.
I'm going to buy a copy right now just to reward them for their efforts. It's $15 to download a DVD quality version with two hours of extra footage. Sweet!

In an effort to continue the Revolution
A small town in Texas has started having "screenings" every two weeks. I was honored to be able to choose the first showing. I choose this video because it doesn't start out by saying ABOLISH THE INCOME TAX, which shuts down most people to the information about to follow...
It simply says: Hey, what is the Federal Reserve and how does it work?
This was really accepted by the folks attending (some of whom were "invited" by meetup members).
These screenings are NOT about Ron Paul, they are about AMERICA. This allows the meetup members to invite friends that know nothing about Ron Paul or even those that DON'T LIKE Ron Paul to come out and see the screenings because the have nothing to do with RP and everything to do with being an American.
We are currently viewing Constitution Class, and it's REALLY getting people to ask questions, and think in a different way about WHO is supposed to defend the Constitution.
I (embarrassingly) admit that up until this time last year, I truly believed that POLITICIANS were supposed to defend it. I know better now, but I blame myself personally for the (sad) state our country is in.
Thank you Dr. Paul, and all the amazing people who have been standing at the feeding trough all these years trying to get the attention of the sheep.
Also show them ...........
............. The Money Masters - How International Bankers Gained Control of America - http://video.google.com/v...
"The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching plan, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole...Their secret is that they have annexed from governments, monarchies, and republics the power to create the world's money..."
THE MONEY MASTERS is a 3 1/2 hour non-fiction, historical documentary that traces the origins of the political power structure that rules our nation and the world today. The modern political power structure has its roots in the hidden manipulation and accumulation of gold and other forms of money. The development of fractional reserve banking practices in the 17th century brought to a cunning sophistication the secret techniques initially used by goldsmiths fraudulently to accumulate wealth. With the formation of the privately-owned Bank of England in 1694, the yoke of economic slavery to a privately-owned "central" bank was first forced upon the backs of an entire nation, not removed but only made heavier with the passing of the three centuries to our day. Nation after nation, including America, has fallen prey to this cabal of international central bankers.

I second this: Fiat Empire
I second this: Fiat Empire is an EXCELLENT video, and those who watch it beforehand will get much more out of AFTF.
It is a good primer
I do agree. It just gives a good foundation to build on.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Agreed
I am saying this because I've seen firsthand that some people just don't want to believe what AFF2F is telling them. Don't get me wrong, I love Aaron and I think the film is great, but I think it opens with too much "conspiracy" theory, and the title and opening graphics don't help either when shown to uninformed types. I wish Aaron would have lightened it up at the beginning a bit and just let his personality come through, and then slowly ease the viewer into the subject matter. I think FIAT EMPIRE and Money as Debt do a better job in this regard. Showing them first is like getting a couple of men on base, and then AFF2F steps up and slams a three run homer.
IMHO
