I don't want to simply call this a "conspiracy movie" because I know that will put some people off watching it and it doesn't do the film any justice.
This will open your eyes to a lot of things including world governement agenda, public mis-information, religion and the true scale of world oppression, please watch it.

Cant somebody just tell what this video is about


CODE Zeitgeist was created as a non-profit filmiac expression to inspire people to start looking at the world
from a more critical perspective and to understand that very often things are not what the
population at large think they are. The information in Zeitgeist was established over a year long period
of research and the current Source page on this site lists the basic sources used / referenced.
Soon, an Interactive Transcript will be online with detailed footnotes and links so exact sources
and further research can be relayed.

Now, it's important to point out that there is a tendency to simply disbelieve things that are
counter to our understanding, without the necessary research performed.
For example, some information contained in Part 1 and Part 3, specifically, is not obtained
by simple keyword searches on the Internet. You have to dig deeper. For instance,
very often people who look up "Horus" or "The Federal Reserve" on the Internet
draw their conclusions from very general or biased sources. Online encyclopedias or text book
Encyclopedias often do not contain the information contained in Zeitgeist. However, if one takes
the time to read the sources provided, they will find that what is being presented is
based on documented evidence. Any corrections, clarifications & further points regarding the film
are found on the Clarifications page.

That being said, It is my hope that people will not take what is said
in the film as the truth, but find out for themselves, for truth is not told, it is realized.

Thank You

To answer the question in the topic title.

Yes.

And no, I don't have any suggestion about how to change this, or if we would live better if we did.

Fuck off and watch the movie before posting an opinionÂ

Watched it. Just another conspiracy theory.

Much like religion, conspiracy theories are attractive because it's very comforting to believe there is some higher order in the world, and that the world we live in makes some kind of sense.

Well it doesn't.


It's a complete chaotic mess, a huge, hostile place, with no kind of comprehensible order whatsoever (other than the few physical laws that almost always work against you), with hideous doom lurking at every corner, and nobody at all has a chance of controlling what's going on.



But if you're too scared to accept that, scared of the big, bad, cruel world, then feel free to believe in any fancy theory that makes you feel safer.

I agree that a lot of conspiracy theories are full of shnit (the moon landing one for instance), but do you guys seriously harbour the point of view that any argument against mass media's version of events is to be viewed as bollocks?

Why do you think that?

No, quite the contrary, in fact. Most of what mass media tells you is pure crap. They're not in the business of being honest, they're in the business of selling you stuff. Not exactly trustworthy material.

The point is this: Everything you hear should be taken with a grain of salt, including this movie. The author tells us that himself. Which is a good thing, because the movie is intentionally biased against the so-called "common knowledge" (stuff believed by the "media-controlled masses"), and therefore not entirely objective (i.e. not to be trusted).

Yeah, I can accept that. But I really do believe that the majority of people's views are wholely influenced (if not dictated) by what the mass media tells them, and that is a dangerous fact. A fact that is being used to manipulate the masses (whether that means convincing someone to buy a certain product or to subscribe to the notion that a war is justified).
The scary thing is that almost every single home in this country has a TV and if you don't (like me) you are percieved as being a weird.

Q. What's the first thing you think when re-arranging your lounge? Is it "TV goes there!"?

I believe most conspiracy theories fall flat because the actual truth is much simpler : People want to make money. On your back.

Now, whenever you whip out the illuminati, the freemasons, the jews, the president of the USA, or the reptilians, you're getting too deep and you get absorbed into your vicious circle. This particular video is a textbook example of what not to do when you're out to tell the truth, to people who DO NOT WEAR TINFOIL HATS.

EDIT : Oh, and your rant against TV is something I used to believe, while I trusted books and the internet as valid sources of information.

LoL. I was so dumb, back then. Thing is, TV caters to the masses of people that don't know better and don't want to. Let the working class fuck itself, I say. Benefit from this knowledge and rise above

Fact is this conspiracy has caught many people's attention maybe you're the one absorbed into a vicious circle of false security.
