u/ConspiracyLinks is likely absolutely right. Russo ran for president as a Libertarian. However, his film only exposed about 80% of the scheme and also included up to 40% of useful but less direct information. He tried, and was permitted to roll with what he had, but one reason for the permission may have been he didn't have it all. The film was largely released to art houses rather than to mainstream theaters.

Here, Ashland, I'll share what I know. I saw a video of Russo describing his conversation with David Rockefeller in which he turned down that devil. The video is probably well-scrubbed by now so Godspeed if you find it. I promise you that Russo described his words to Rockefeller as follows: "I told him: as a Chr-- as a person of faith I couldn't do that." It's my belief that Russo was about to call himself a Christian but then remembered that he would be heard by his fellow Jews as well and wasn't ready to say the whole word and remembered his chosen euphemism in time. The fact is that Russo was well-heeled for many years as a rising Hollywood star and then he was invited to the inner circle and turned it down and had to suffer the consequences. And somewhere along the line he seems to have chosen the example of the man that turned down the illegal transfer of all the kingdoms of the world at once.
