New Movie: I.O.U.S.A. (featuring Ron Paul) to hit theaters --Trailer [Video]

is actually featured two times in this video trailer.At 0:45 you hear his voice saying the system is encouraging people not to save..... This movie could help a lot of people open eyes. David Walker probably had a lot to do with this. Like Kudlow also, it seems many economic commentators are now more open to the idea that a complete overhaul (e.g. abolishment) of the Fed would be necessary and not a "reformation" or "restructuring" of the Fed, same with a commodity linked currency.

Even though it is too late it does help us spread our message.

I paying to see that. There will be propaganda in it I can stay home and see propaganda for free. If they say the elite are causing a control demolition of the US economy then I would see it. I suspect they will blame the victims the US citizens who were sold a bill of goods. Peace

bring fliers that say " If you want to change the direction our country is headed in and for more info on how to help, go to www.campaignforliberty.co... and www.dailypaul.com and help us turn this country around." Use whatever catchy slogan you can think of. We can use this movie to our advantage. A lot of people who have not woken up in a mental sense but have woken up in a pocketbook sense will be going to see this movie. We can take these people to the next level.

...doing a fair amount of research (links posted below) I am very optimistic that this film does not have an evil purpose behind it. I still have a little skepticism but I'm overall predicting this movie will actually help the cause of liberty.

What I found out was that the movie was the written by two guys at Agora Financial and they bumped into David Walker accidentally one day and told them of their idea to do this movie and he agreed to let them tag along and film his Fiscal Wake Up Call tour around America which is a large part of the movie.

Here are the links to some videos and articles and websites that should give you a pretty good idea of what this film and the people associated with it are all about:

Clip of director of film saying the film is the story of GAO David Walker's Fiscal Wake Up Call:

Link below is to a clip of an interview of the director of film. It gives some good data on film including fact that its release, Aug 21st, was timed to occur in this election year to help inform the American public so they can make a good choice for president. It also gives a sample of the simple and entertaining graphics and other techniques used to simplify the viewer's understanding of economic problems. (Unfortunately the volume of the audio is not consistent so be ready to adjust it now and then.)

Here are four links of an excellent radio interview with Addison Wiggin the co-writer of the script and Exec Producer. I get a good feeling about him. (each one is 8 or 9 mins.):

The movie was one of the featured films at the Maryland Film Fest on May 2, 2008. Lots more details on the film given:

Below is the link to Lew Rockwell's review of a book called, "Empire of Debt", written by Addison Wiggin and Bill Bonner. Addison Wiggin is with Agora Financial and is a co-writer of the script and Executive producer of the movie.

Lew is very favorably impressed with the book. The book goes into the role of the Fed as part of the cause of the financial crisis. So, I'm hoping that the movie goes into talking about the Fed, too, but I doubt that it will. As long as the movie gets a lot of truth out there it should bring the awareness of the American people up on the fact that we have a major financial problem.

Here's Lew's review:
http://www.dailyreckoning...

After reviewing all of the data contained in the links above, I'm figuring that this film is an amplified summary and simplified version of David Walker's Fiscal Wake Up Call tour and that the only solution being offered in the film is to encourage the American voters to elect a president that will cut government spending and how ready are we for that!!

But, even though the book, "Empire of Debt" co-authored by Addison Wiggin goes into how the Fed works and its role in causing the financial crisis, the film may or may not go into that. We don't have enough data yet to determine this. I guessing that it does not.

It would be great if someone could see the film and give us a report on it and let us know if it goes into the Fed and if there is any solution offered beyond electing a fiscally responsible president. I'm betting this is the only solution it offers. That works for me!!!

This of course doesn't rule out the CFR boys using it as the first part of a larger agenda, but we can use it for our agenda, too, and do a better job of it than they do. However, Addison Wiggins makes the point in one of the radio interviews that in this global economy most of the countries have a lot invested in dollar denominated assets so they all have a vested interest in the dollar not collapsing. This makes me think that at least part of the reason Peter G. Peterson wants to pump a billion dollars into getting this movie aired in America is because he hopes it will save his own fortune from "collapsing".

We'll see.

Where is the video of Ron Paul's speech they use in this movie?

hopefully we will get to see it!

as for me and my home, we shall worship the LORD

If I am reading Peterson's bio right he was the former head of the CFR. I wonder if the motivation is pure. We will have to see.

it...to ascertain the motives behind it...all is conjecture at this point in time...

Tenacious accountability can bring real change. If we don't hold them accountable, the politicians will slip away, falsely claiming they were fighting to correct the GFI (Generational Fiscal Imbalance) all along.
#

I propose we build a very simple list right away. On one side, all of the officials who were on record on July 4, 2008, as "frequently and emphatically urging massive govt spending reductions to address the GFI" and on the other side, all those who were not.

The responsible and courageous side includes Ron Paul, David Walker and very few others (McCain's fiscal responsibility rests solely on his so-called crusade against earmarks, which are paltry in sum and totally unrelated to the coming entitlement disaster; in fact any pro-war, pro-Medicare bill Republican cannot claim to be on the right side of this issue), and on the other, all the congressman, governors, executive branch officials who are not on record.

July 4, 2008 is exactly 4 months before the election. If you were not on record then, you are part of the problem, plain and simple, and that will be used against you when you are next on the ballot.

IOUSA, Walker, Perot as of this week... this story is building. We cannot let the people whose job it is to safeguard the country's future get away with jumping on the bandwagon when it rolls by.

Build this list on DP now!

Blackstone is closely tied with CFR.Many Saturn-worshippers (Blackstone) are CFR. I used to work for these @holes. I know first hand. You have to ask WHY would they put this out?! Blackstone owned WTC7 on 9/11. PETERSON ANNOUNCED THIS ACQUISITION AT CFR, in the presence of Rockefeller, and Kissinger?!!! He used to be the chairman of CFR! This is a bad sign. I would bet that there is no offer of solution in the film. This is going to be used to spread more fear before they drop the economy on its face. Blackstone is a contributor to the problem. CFR and Blackstone did not suddenly discover the err of their ways and are trying to tell everyone about it. These are the people whose families CREATED THE FED!!! I'm sure this will be an obfuscation of the fundamental problems. I smell B.S.

I heard David Walker will be in it too. He is the former Comptroller General and head of the Government Accountability Office (the man that said we were going to fall like Rome shortly before he quit).

The Ron Paul Movement / The Campaign for Liberty should capitalize on the opening of this film. Maybe cities host "Premiere Parties" at their local theatres and take the opportunity to pass out literature and recruit new activists.

they are going to tell the truth
about who is behind the tanking economy.They will lay the blame
as far away from themselves as they can and the people will eat up whatever bs is fed to them.
I smell a rat.

a shitload of gold and silver with everything you have left in your bank before August when this comes out.

It doesn't matter who made it. If it has accurate information we can use it.. We'll have to see the whole thing first. My guess is if it is a ploy it will be to try and deflect blame so people don't start hanging these bastards from lamp poles.

They act like they are warning the public so they couldn't possibly be the culprits. If that is the case we can still use it then have our own little information campaign to explain they are the culprits, then start keeping an eye on lamp posts to see what turns up.

also, I guess I should say, I doubt this could be a part of any plot/conspiracy to spread fear over the issue to the public.... regardless of who made it.... if it is part of a plot, then it's a pretty crappy plot, because for one thing, more than likely, no one will go to see it. Secondly, it's too risky, to use something like this and the reaction to it to cause something else for a greater plot... it's just not a reliable plan.

cool.... I'll be seeing this.

Hand Out - Campaign For Liberty cards or flyers or broadsides ....
at the theatres when folks leave ....

byw - is there any Campaign For Liberty literature to get passed out ....

including web address etc... ?

These are the very people who screwed the american public.

Really, we need to be fiscally responsible???

This dude was head of the CFR!! The Think-tank for our Globalization Foreign Policy. Our Congress, Media and Investment bankers follow their lead....in to DEBT.

So these were the guys who sold our dollar off to the world and NOW we owe 75 trillion Dollars. This is a freaking insult. Just rub our freaking fiat currency woes into our face!

Thank you Mr. Peterson.

I almost believe it is intended to aid in "assisting the financial collapse" of the U.S. economy, by creating fear and panic, causing massive bank runs. Perhaps just as the so called undisclosed source has said the "secret congress meeting" was about. If you recall it was supposedly supposed to be planned for late 2008, with the banks failing in mid 2009. Put that into context with who peterson is, and the timing of its release.... Is this an NAU tool? It will be interesting to see what it turns out as.

Even a New World Order 7000 year old plan non-believer like myself, must raise one eyebrow. This man is CFR is he not? From the looks of the trailer it obviously has the power to cause panic.

Who has the link to that radio interview that was posted on here?

hope people go see this movie they need to see to wake up and relaize what is happening and setting the big bruden on they young people

This appears to be a good documentary, good in the sense the public needs to be told about this national debt problem and this is what the documentary should accomplish. I'm hopeful because this man has bought the rights to Ayn Rand's brilliant pro capitalism book "Atlas Shrugged" (which I am currently reading). With him buying the rights to this novel it appears his intentions are in the right place. That would be two solid films this man will be representing so there is room for hope. I am hopeful...

"As he stood a few feet from a portrait of himself at the Council of Foreign Relations in Manhattan -- he's a former chairman -- Peterson, 82, addressed an elite crowd of 150 that included philanthropists David Rockefeller and Donald B. Marron; former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger; former New York Governor Mario Cuomo; Quadrangle Group LLC co-founder Steven Rattner and Robert Rubin, the former U.S. treasury secretary.

Peterson told the crowd that the Peter G. Peterson Foundation has bought the rights to the feature-length documentary, ``I.O.U.S.A.,'' which will open in 10 cities on Aug. 22."

NOTE: The secretary who transcribed the article misunderstood the number "10"... it was supposed to be the word "tent". The cities include Hinesville, GA, Yuba City, CA, Gary, IN, and Middlesbrough, TN.

``This is going to be an economic version of `An Inconvenient Truth,''' said the foundation's chief executive officer David Walker, the former U.S. comptroller general who has a speaking part in the new film.

In an ironic twist, rumor has it that Walker has been signed on to play Gail Wynand in Peterson's next film production, the long awaited feature film version of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged".

``Pete knows business, he knows the economy -- I think it's a terrific idea,'' Kissinger said in an interview after viewing the film clip. ``If we continue on this road, it would be awful.''

(Translation: "I think it's a terrific idea that Pete bought this film so that we can give it the audience it deserves. If we had continued on this road of awakening the People, it would be awful.")

p.s. - This is not to say that I think the movie wasn't a worthwhile effort... It may have a positive effect no matter how hard they try to bury it.
