Jason Hommel, Silver Stock Report, Reviews Film

Posted 3 August, 2006

Aaron Russo is looking for donations to help get the movie into theaters, having raised now nearly $400,000. When he had raised less than $50,000, I almost invested $100,000 into his project, but before I could do so, I had to see if I could approve of his "call to action". Unfortunately, I could not do so in good conscience. His call is to oppose world government.

I was hoping, therefore, that the call to action in Aaron Russo's film, America: Freedom to Fascism, would be for people to buy gold and silver--as that truly will solve the vast majority of human economic problems. (I don't care whether or not he mentions the great harlot.) I would have backed the film if the call to action was to buy silver or gold. But I spoke with Aaron Russo on the phone, and he said he could not include buying gold or silver as the final call to action, since that would be, according to him, "investment advice" or some such nonsense, and besides, the movie already spoke about buying gold and silver in the middle of the film.

I have a feeling that I've failed somehow. I have a feeling that this is one reason why Satan succeeds; Christians who agree on so much, still can't get together to help one another. I may not be able to back the movie financially, but I can tell you about it, and urge you to see it, with the understanding of why I cannot endorse its "call to action".

I have not seen the film yet, but I look forward to seeing it soon--and I hope that you go see it, too. I also hope that you agree with me that the best call to action, that helps other men the most, is to merely buy gold and silver. Buying gold is not just a literal action, not just an investment action, not only a political action, but also a deeply spiritual action that embraces so many of God's teachings.
