Zeitgeist is a propaganda flick filled with garbage and conspiracy theories.
I do like the word "zeitgeist". I like that there is a name for the spirit of time.
Group Question :: Politics Government - No New World Order
Zeitgeist - Have you seen it? Do you know about it? What is it? Is it really important for your future and the future of all life on earth?

Zeitgeist
The word zeitgeist describes the intellectual, cultural, ethical and political climate, ambiance and morals of an era (similar to the English word "mainstream") or also a trend.
It is also a movement. I am part of that movement. You can watch the film online or you can request a copy from me if you write to at
angelman24@sprintmail.com
This poll is both for those that are familiar and unfamiliar with the film and its concepts.
The movement:
We intend to restore the fundamental necessities and environmental awareness of the species through the avocation of the most current understandings of who and what we truly are, coupled with how science, nature and technology (rather than religion, politics and money) hold the keys to our personal growth, not only as individual human beings, but as a civilization, both structurally and spiritually. The central insights of this awareness is the recognition of the Emergent and Symbiotic elements of natural law and how aligning with these understandings as the bedrock of our personal and social institutions, life on earth can and will flourish into a system which will continuously grow in a positive way, where negative social consequences, such as social stratification, war, biases, elitism and criminal activity will be constantly reduced and, idealistically, eventually become nonexistent within the spectrum of human behavior itself.
This possibility is, of course, very difficult for most humans to consider, for we have been conditioned by society to think that crime, corruption and dishonesty is "the way it is" and that there will always be people who want to abuse, hurt and take advantage of others. Religion is the largest promoter of this propaganda, for the "us and them" or "good and evil" mentality promotes this false assumption.
The reality is that we live in a society that produces Scarcity. The consequence of this scarcity is that human beings must behave in self preserving ways, even if it means they have to cheat and steal in order to get what they want. Our research has concluded that Scarcity is one of the most fundamental causes of aberrant human behavior, while also leading to complex forms of neurosis in other ways. A statistical look at drug addiction, crime and incarceration statistics, finds that poverty and unhealthy social conditions comprise the life experience of those who engage in such behavior.
Human beings are not good or bad... they are running, forever changing compositions of the life experience(s) that influences them. The "quality" of a human being ( if there was such a thing ) is directly related to the upbringing and thus belief systems they have been conditioned into.
This simple reality has been grossly overlooked and today people primitively think that competition, greed and corruption are "hardwired" elements of human behavior and, in turn, we must have prisons, police and hence a hierarchy of differential control in order for society to deal with these "tendencies". This is totally illogical and false.
Tfundamentally, you must begin to address root causes.

Since propaganda typically contains a lot of truth in order to win the confidence of the reader/viewer, and then it makes baseless statements that it wants people to believe, I can only say that Zeitgeist could possibly be one of these. Or it may be true. I do not know. But much of it I do know to be the truth.
Here is what I believe
The main aim of Zeitgeist is to make you believe that the Bible is false - that is the main reason so much other truth is told - so that the Bible can be trashed!
The elite hate the God of Creation and His Word with all their hearts, souls, minds and strength - I wonder why really?? Could it be that they know it to be the truth??
Zeitgeist was made by men, so it must be false.
You Ed, are a disgusting idiot. Let people see it for themselves and make up their own minds.

A spiritual faith which had no name before Constantine was turned into a literal faith with the objective more to manipulate Roman society and more to sustain elitism then to spread"the word".
Emp Constantine was though the founder of Christianity as prior to his reign, there was no such word,but also not a single official imperial religion for the Roman Empire,with all its multitudes of cults and gods all across the Empire.
Constantine didnt convert to Christianity,but lifted the restrictions on Christians and the groups known as early Christians who were persecuted were neither Christian nor “peaceful” but actually satanic and human sacrifice cults such as the Sarmatians and Boethusians who were the descendents of the Phoenician traders. In about 325, Constantine ordered the arrest of all cult leaders of major cults and forced their attendance at Nicaea in order to form a new official religion who then assisted in creating the deity Hesus Christi (Jesus Christ) and thus Christianity was born over three hundred years after the death of Jesus!.Therefore the Bible is certainly more false than the Film made in the 21st century called Zeit Geist.

Job loss due to automation, robotics.
ATM's and self checkout at the grocery store. Do you known how many lost their jobs as tellers and cashiers. Far too many but we like the convience of getting 24 hrs a day and checking out of the store quickly. We all had better wake up before it is too late.
We pay for T.V. supposedly so we could watch quality programming without commercial interruption....yet now....all the channels not only have commercials... they have whole hours dedicated to 'inframercials'! Which is simply a really long commercial that we're paying to watch! The greed and audacity of the media is simply amazing. And have you tried to buy a VCR lately? They're becoming obsolete. I believe it's not because DVD's are so much better...it's because advertisers don't want their commercials to continue to be so easily 'fast forwarded & skipped completely by most viewers. We've been trying to buy one since ours broke down....and no one sells them anymore! Life is changing in a way I don't think is positive for the average consumer. It's all about the corporate world making sure they have an 'ever increasing' profit margin. Soon....they'll be charging us for the very air we breathe!
And then we have cap and trade, taxes on sodas, fast foods, banning of transfats, to name just a few--all imposed by the government. Yes, we will be charged for the air we breath, probably controlled by GE and our government, and supported by the media. It goes much deeper than the corporate world. government.
By the way , get a DVR. You can record and then skip anything you want not to mention you can pause live shows while you run to the kitchen for a snack.

some things to think about. I attended The Church Of Christ Christian Church while growing up & I had questions even then that were never answered. I always was curious about everything & I still am.
Of course the DVD "Zeitgeist" raised more questions .. but
parts of it may have explained a lot that I have always wondered about.
I have never understood why it should be necessary to attend a church to worship God ... I thought that any place that you felt close to God was good.
I know for a fact that shortages of energy resources are artificially produced. I believe that war is a racket ... no one wins a war & the only ones who profit are the ones with a vested interest in the war.
And of course jobs are lost due to all the automation ... why
hire a person for something a computer or robot can do?

It's sad that they took a cool German word like "Zeitgeist" and tainted it.
And the fact that you think it's all true except for the parts about the Bible just goes to show that you truly don't know shit from shinola.
Here is what I believe
However, until all most of the facts and details are uncovered and brought to light it remains just that, a CONSPIRACY HYPOTHESIS... (after all Theory has facts backing it)...
Now I did Like the past correlations of the Jesus myth and the interesting hypothesis about the signs of the zodiac and the 12 apostles and jesus supposedly being "the sOn of god" and the sUn parallel... either way there is enough evidence all around to point to jesus definitely being a myth, at the very least his supposed divinity, if not the man all together...
The rest of it was entertaining but really the evidence presented was at the very least minor of not circumstantial...
