Has anyone seen I O U S A ?

This is playing at 2 theaters I go to. It's by Ron Paul. I've heard no buzz about it. Have you?

1. Ron Paul should be embarrassed.

This film is evidently fronted by the Blackstone Group. Google them. The CEO is a Bush pioneer & skull and bones. His partner, Peter Peterson is CFR. I haven't seen the film. From the clips on You-tube it looks like it is dumbed down for the masses. Lyndon LaRouche (sp?) (yes and I know he is a little nuts), but he is saying that this film puts the blame of the US economic mess onto the people of America & that the subliminal message put forward in the film is that the US is broke and can no longer afford Social Security, pension or Medicare benefits. So we good Americans need to sacrifice. Doubt it asks much of the Federal Reserve, the big corporations or the military, etc. I'm not sure if Ron Paul was involved with this before Blackstone took over or if he is connected to Blackstone and the CFR, etc. I wouldn't want my name on it if I were trying to portray myself as an Independent candidate. You posted this a week or so ago. Have you seen it yet and if so, what are your thoughts?

3. I saw it last month...a must-see

I am surprised that very few seemed to have seen it. It's made for those who are not as savvy about economic matters and uses a lot of graphics to make things easier to understand. Bummer, though.
