Title: Zeitgeist...
Post by: Lidge Farkley on July 24, 2007 04:34 am CDT
Well, I figured some of you would take interest in this:

Peace! :-)

*edit*
Just a little disclaimer to say that some of their ideas are not ones I agree with, and some of their definitions are backwards.. so if you hear a word they seem to know how to use, look it up for clarification unto their shortcoming in English.

I finally got around to watching it in it's entirety, and I have to say that I was stunned. Very stunned. However, because I cannot confirm so many of the things I saw and heard within the video, I will still try hard to remain neutral on the issues shown.

I was very impressed with Part 1. I always enjoy a good long Bible Bashing session :P
Part 2 was scary in demonstrating the potential for control en masse, through nothing more than money and information.
Part 3 was stretching it, as a lot of it seemed to rely on speculation. Still, interesting to watch.


If any of the points in Zeitgeist do end up to be true, then god help us all.

At the very least, you should watch the first 40 minutes (Part I). It's probably the best part of the whole movie.

I enjoyed part 1 the most, part 3 was fairly informative, and it's a pretty well known fact that Japan was forced to attack America. However I barely know anything about the American economy, or economy in general, or even the general subject. Luckily I'm not an American so it's hard to say much about it.

Part 2, frankly I could care less about 9/11, if the government did set it up, it wouldn't be anything new.

Because there's always a possibility? If anything, it's simply a method to tell you that the Socially Accepted way is not always the Right Way. Even if it's not true, it's good to keep an open mind, and to learn as much as you can about whats going on around you. Otherwise, you're just a sheep.

Yes.  This is the point, I think.

Always remember that everything you read is fiction and any recording you watch could be as well.

Keep an open mind, but a skeptical mind; never believe any thing and know when to stop trusting things.

Yup, anything can happen.
The earth could be hit by a comet and its a a conspiracy by the French government.
Wait.. omg, that could be true.

He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic so that no one had the chance to interrupt him.. but really quite hypnotic.

..and Xanth, I'd put my money on the Swiss..  they have been neutral for wayyy too long..  definately a conspiracy there.

How do you confuse a French soldier?

Give him a rifle and tell him to shoot it.

This is true!  Hold that!

That is the design; to attempt attraction/stability/reason through words.. but very purposefully contrived words.. with definitions that aren't "quite rite" and this is the same as looking at the other medias as well.

If you can remember that the design is to be hypnotic, you will never be lost in the design.
