All I ask is that you watch the whole thing from beginning to end before you make your comments. I rather have no one watch it then have 10 people only watch the first couple minutes or so and comment (though I know this is more likely the case). The video is lengthy (1 hour 50 mins), but give it a chance. Only if you watch it from beginning to end will you be able to appreciate the totality of the situation.

Afterwards, feel free to express whatever you may think about it.

Give us your summary and opinion first, then I can decide whether to invest the time to watch this.

Actually lioank is too lazy to watch it, so he's asking us to watch it in order to know if it's worth spending some time watching it.

The good old trick!

I saw it months ago .. it's interesting and provocative.

Basicly says .. don't pay your taxes, the Government can't do anything about it.

Good luck with that one.

Actually, I did watch it... twice.

My personal opinion is that there are many interesting points that can be taken out of the movie, once you work your way through the muck. I was surprised to note that the "law" concerned with federal income tax can not only be challenged in courts, but also that there were cases that "won" (were found not guilty of tax fraud/evasion), regardless of what the law actually states.
The second part of the video opened my eyes to just how far technology has come within recent history. It was a little surreal to see what could be possible within the near future.

And the reason that I didn't comment was because I was hoping to get some raw responses to the vid without influencing them with my own comments. But I guess around here if you actually wait to see what other people might have to say about something you are labeled as "lazy" and being a "trickster".

I don't think that was the main point, although it was the main focus of the video for a good 45-55 minutes.

It is quite scary. George Orwell couldn't have wrote what is happening better. We gots to be careful.

Ever seen V for vendetta?

Yes, there are many similarities. Scary how Orwell was spot on, too.

It's only a matter of time before we are all dead and it won't matter. AI will take over the world.
