WHY DID AARON RUSSO REJECT ROCKEFELLER'S
INVITATION TO JOIN THE RULING ELITE?
2007 September 16.

On August 24, 2007, America lost a great human being and a fearless champion of freedom. Aaron Russo is remembered as an entertainment businessman, film maker, Libertarian political figure, and proponent of tax and monetary reform. He was best known in political circles for his documentary movie, America; Freedom to Fascism, which is a clarion call to action against the U.S. Federal Reserve System and the Income Tax. He was a member of Freedom Force and recipient of the Freedom Force Champion-of-Freedom Award.

A provocative insight into Aaron’s personal motivation in the political arena was provided in a video interview conducted on January 29, 2007 by Alex Jones. In this interview, he explained how Nicholas Rockefeller attempted to convince him to give up his pro-freedom ideas and join with the ruling elite. He told Russo about the plan to microchip the entire population to control them; eleven months before 9/11, predicted “an event that will allow us to invade Afghanistan and Iraq”; and laughed about the coming “War on Terror” that would be stage managed to frighten Americans into giving up their freedom in exchange for security from an imaginary threat.

Rockefeller invited Aaron into the Council on Foreign Relations, the exclusive group that rules America from behind the scenes. When Russo objected to loss of freedom for the common man, Rockefeller replied: “What do you care about them? They mean nothing to you. Look out for yourself and your family.” When Aaron did not agree, their friendship came to a close. Watch the interview here.
