Robert J. Maxwell The tag line says it all -- "Liberty or Tyranny." We have to make the choice. There's nothing in between. And what I managed to watch of the film itself only spells the message out in more detail.The problem with the tag line is that it's a logical fallacy called "false dilemma." You don't REALLY have to choose between "liberty" and "tyranny" at all. Every society -- if it exists at all -- has something in between. Liberty means the freedom to go about your business in some sensible way without harming yourself or others. That's how we usually define it anyway. It doesn't mean freedom to do whatever you want. That would be chaos. Here's how Judge Learned Hand put it:"What is this liberty which must lie in the hearts of men and women? It is not the ruthless, the unbridled will; it is not freedom to do as one likes. That is the denial of liberty, and leads straight to its overthrow. A society in which men recognize no check upon their freedom soon becomes a society where freedom is the possession of only a savage few."And a little bit of tyranny, meaning formal social control, is necessary for the survival of any community, otherwise we'd be living in a Hobbesian world of maniacs who were constantly robbing each other, slitting each other's throats, and driving up and down residential streets blaring twelve-tone music from a huge speaker in our open trunks. You want the walls of your house to shake with vibration from the bass frequencies of hexachords, do you? I thought not.The film is propagandistic junk embodying one man's paranoid vision of how the global culture is evolving. Barack Obama is only a corporate tool who plans to turn the US over to the New World Order and have a global currency instead of good solid greenbacks.How is this view substantiated? Well, for one thing, we hear Newt Gingrich say that it's true. For another, there is a two-second audio clip of the president saying that the Federal Reserve should have more power. How much proof do you want? A written plan (the long form, of course) of bullet points like that published by the Project for a New American Century? It's not worth further attention except from those who score high on the "paranoia" scale of the MMPI. They should find what they're looking for here. Obama's "Green Police" will be able to enter your house, rate it for energy efficiency, and make you pay for the examination. Next step: the jail house. Right.

overhaul38 A professionally made primer on how to slant your story to fit your agenda. The movie takes bits and pieces of speeches and conversations to make a movie filled with cries of doom and dire predictions and very little substance. The film panders to the paranoia and visceral hatred that the shrinking white majority has for anything that does not look like them. The director has never tried to hide his total right wing agenda and this is a full length feature to complement his never ending rant against THEM. This is a boring propaganda piece that makes anything Michael Moore made look like a Disney movie. I can only recommend it for the most devoted members of the Alex Jones fan club.

I B The title of this documentary is spot on. Alex Jones is saying that the American republic is falling, but it really fell during Bill Clinton's presidency. As Chalmers Johnson wrote, in his Blowback trilogy, it was back then when America turned into a military empire. I used to be ignorant of Alex Jones' show but now I watch or listen to it frequently. Jones is a good entertainer, and his rants are actually something that I enjoy. His politics are in the right place too. The Western elite, with the Corporatocracy as its most important part, have taken over the politics and economics of the world. The first phase in this Third World War was the Cold War. After the defeat of the Soviet Union the second phase in the global war began. People in the West are losing their freedoms and livelihoods because of it. Good examples of this are shown in the film. And, as shown in the film, the current economic depression is one of the steps to a new world system of governance with a global distribution economy. This global economy will be about the control of goods, resources and information. In the film it's called a New World Order. In the NWO the market will be dominated by monopolies. It's entirely possible that a global currency will be introduced. Whether or not this plan of the Western elite will work we shall see. However, we are living through the steps to this global system and it's not really pleasant. In his works the economist Jacques Attali wrote that the elite will establish their rule over the world in the middle of the 21st century. The philosopher Aleksandr Zinovyev also wrote books about the Global Suprasociety. In my opinion it's a good thing that Alex Jones is putting his message out. Fall Of The Republic is sometimes crude but one has to see it because its message is crystal clear.

Virtuos o The fact that this director is alive proves his theories hold no basis in reality.Great movie for any free thinkers. He takes an interesting look at recent events. While this movie draws some very crazy conclusions out of thin air it was fun to watch. Listen for terms like oligarchy, shadow government, off shore masters,and puppet government, it is really quite funny.I was impressed at a few of the speakers he was able to get for this movie. It makes me wonder if they had any idea what they were a part of. that is all there is to say. about that
