this is something that all must watch. If you must post stuff that is derogatory to this, please watch the movie first before you do so, and do so of your own conscience.

We must do something, the United States is dying, the world is dying, and the two movies here not only explain why it is happening, it tell what we can do to stop it. If I can get only one person to follow, then i feel I am successful.

This may seem anti-chrstian, but it is not, rather revealing the basis behind it, and the corruption within it.

there are a few cuss words in it, so please use your own discretion, but they are few and far between.

Intellectuals, scientists, people who feel like stuff just isn't working, like everything is wrong, watch this please, you will be better for it.		2008-11-13 02:22:00

IMO the only true part is the Jesus Myth section. But then again, that is all I watched. I would feel terrible if a relative of a 9/11 victim saw that 9/11 truther part though. 2008-11-13 02:36:00

How could you stop at the first part? No belief that the Rockefeller family is running the country?

The following site may seem one-sided, but do yourself a favor and read thoroughly. It's a fairly unbiased look at the movie and its sources.

I watched this doc almost a year ago with my wife. It is something people need to see if only to reduce the amount of ignorance in this world.

If that is the only part you watched then how can you say it is the only "true" part (true being extremely relative to begin with) ?

Perhaps more important then this documentary is it's sequel: Zeitgeist: Addendum. The entire doc revolved around how the world is opertaing on a monetary economy that is designed to forever keep all of us in debt. This is especially important becasue it directly relates to the financial crisis happening RIGHT NOW.

I know a lot of the board members here are teens but that does not mean it is too early to look at the deeper meaning of things and to start asking questions about everything. After all, the future is in the hands of the youth so the sooner you educate yourselves and learn to see things from more then one perspective then the better off both you and society as a whole will be.		2008-11-13 07:00:00

Well, it is the only section I watched in full. I skimmed over everything else, and they all seem too far fetched. 		2008-11-13 11:49:00

OCK I agree with you fully, however what I will say is that don't take ANY media at face value. Even if it looks initially like the truth. If you see something that interests you in the media, always have a look around (the net is a wonderful thing) at all sides of the story, and different perspectives before making your own judgement. If you don't then the media has achieved its goal of making you believe something that may/ or may not, be true.

Too often people see one thing on the TV and take it as the truth. All media is a lie but the truth lies within it. The skill is spotting it.		2008-11-13 12:11:00

Really couldn't have said it better. It's terribly important to educate one's self and - by doing so - one will become less reliable and susceptible to the typically one-sided media anyway. See something that shocks you? Check the sources first and foremost. After that, make a call. Did everything check out?

As I said in my previous post, Zeitgeist has basically been debunked by people that simply checked sources. Bottom line, a good deal of things presented as fact in the "documentary". Where do they pull these facts from? An excerpt from the site I listed earlier concerning one of the most cited sources in the film:

Who is Acharya S? That is what I wanted to know when I stumbled upon her official web site. On her "Who is Acharya S?" and "Credentials" pages she goes in length talking about herself... In short she is a mystic and conspiracy theorist with no professional training what so ever. She goes on and on about how she traveled in Europe and has read works of various philosophers such as Cicero and Chaucer, and she actually claims that she has "sat down with the Bible - in English, as well as in the original Hebrew and Greek - long enough to understand it more than most clergy." She claims to also be a "member" of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. A thorough staff and directory search turned up nothing. I emailed various people on the web site, and yet nobody has ever heard of her.

It really strikes me, someone who considers herself to be more knowledgeable about Christianity than any other person, is never quoted by anyone other than herself or Zeitgeist, the movie. Not only that but in her various works she repeatedly claims... "Sun" and "Son" being the same word and thus of the same origin, while this is only true in English not in any other language... I would think that someone who is well versed in many languages, especially Hebrew and Greek, would realize that you cannot make connections this way...

Her web site is geared more towards selling books that question religions ideologies, rather than actually investigating them... Her web site also goes on about how Junk food (such as candy bars and hamburgers) are essentially drugs and there are roaming gangs involved in "bloody orgies of criminality and depravity".

She now even has an e-book you can download for a small donation that goes along with Zeitgeist, the movie. Good to see she cares so much about spreading the truth. Maybe it is also worth mentioning that she could not get her books published anywhere except Stellar House Publishing, a company which she runs.

Now, this is just one source, but it's quite ****ing as she's cited rather heavily throughout the first part of the film. Just pointing out why it's a good idea to look into the sources of such a controversial piece of media.		2008-11-13 13:15:00

I watched the Jesus part not too long ago, haven't found the time to watch the rest. It seems really good and I wish the whole world could see this to reduce ignorance. I hate people who believe everything they here. The most recent is all of these "myths" about Obama. It is getting ridiculous.2008-11-13 16:28:00

There's definitely a level of irony to your post. Do you think that people should watch Zeitgeist because it will somehow reduce ignorance? Wouldn't that still fall under the umbrella of "believing everything they hear"? Just curious to see what you think.		2008-11-13 17:52:00

Guys, calm down. Goldstein will come out of hiding someday and stop Big Brother, O'Brien, and the rest of the inner party.

So please, stop believing this scare tactic rubbish, and also please continue believing this scare tactic rubbish.

Thank you.		2008-11-13 18:12:00

Just watched the whole thing. I'd already watched one very similar to the 9/11 part - saying the excact same thing. But the last part of the movie was just... crazy. Those chips... eurgh. Never touching me.
Also - i'm in no way religious, so personally i found the beginning very interesting and entertaining. Though i don't believe it.		2008-11-13 19:32:00

Well I meant it in a way that they will be able to see it from another perspective. Most people don't care/don't want to see it from another perspective because they think they are right. If they can watch this they can have another view on an issue they probably don't know much about.		2008-11-14 03:44:00
