A Modesto man named Steven Richard King was once arrested for trying to hold up a Bank of America branch without a weapon.

Transcript from The Zeitgeist Movie:

This is Aaron Russo, a film maker and a formal politician. To his left is Nicholas Rockefeller of the infamous Rockefeller banking and business dynasty. After maintaining the close friendship with Nicholas Rockefeller Aaron eventually ended the relationship appalled by what he had learned about the Rockefellers and their ambitions.

Russo: I got a call one day from a woman I knew and she said, "Would you like to meet one of the Rockefellers?" I said, "Sure, I'd love to!" And we became friends. And he began to divulge a lot of things to me. So he said to me one night, "There's gonna be an event, Aaron. And out of that event you're gonna see we are going to go into Afghanistan so we can run the pipelines from the Caspian Sea, we are going to go into Iraq to take the oil and establish a base in the Middle East, and then we are going to go into Venezuela and try to get rid off that Chavez [Hugo Chavez]." And the first two they've accomplished, Chavez they didn't accomplish. And so you're gonna see guys going into caves, looking for people they never gonna find [al qaeda]. You know, he's laughing about the fact that you have this war on terror and there's no real enemy. He's talking about how by having this war on terror you can never win it 'cause it's an eternal war, so you can always keep taking people's liberties away. I said, "How you're gonna convinced people that this war is real?" He said, "By the media. The media can convince everybody it's real. You know, it's just that you keep talking about things, you keep saying it over and over and over again and eventually people believe this" ... They've created the Federal Reserve in 1913 through lies, they've created 9/11 which is another lie. Through 9/11 you're then fighting the war on terror and afterwards you're going to Iraq, which was another lie. And then they're gonna do Iran. And it's all one thing leading to another, leading to another, leading to another. And I would say, "What are you doing this for? What's the point of this thing? You have all the money in the world you'd ever want, you have all the power." I said, "You know, you're hurting people, it's not a good thing." And he would say, "What do you care about the people for? Take care of yourself, and take care of your family." And then I said to him, "What are the ultimate goals here?" He said, "The ultimate goal is to get everybody in this world chipped with an RFID chip." And to have all the money on those chips, and everything on those chips. And if anybody wants to protest what we do or violate what we want, we just turn off their chip."

[Sounds very apocalyptic. I'm sure the Christian fanatics are running to their Bibles to re-read Revelations. I'm not saying Russo is lying (he died of cancer in August 2007) but he was a libertarian nut who probably smoked a lot of pot back in the day. According to IMDB, he managed the Kinetic Playground in Chicago in the late 1960s where he booked The Who, Jefferson Airplane and other popular bands of the day. For seven years, Russo managed Bette Midler. In 1979, he produced "The Rose" which gave Midler her first starring role. After producing a string of films {including Trading Places} and directing "Rude Awakening," Russo turned to blending radical politics with entertainment. He tried to sell a pilot for a television show called "Aaron Russo's Mad As Hell" in the early 1990s. When he was unsuccessful in selling the controversial program to networks, he began selling the pilot as a video in 1996. In 1994 he tried to start a political party called the Constitution Party. In 1998, however, he ran for the Republican party nomination for governor of the state of Nevada. (He lost.) In 2000, he supported the Libertarian party.]
