Thread: ZEITGEIST

Have watched the first two. Will not watch the latest one. While monetary policy, the federal reserve, and 9/11 investigation all have merit, this documentary is a disgrace to serious scholars in these areas.

The second one is even worse. Peter Joseph displays next to zero intelligence when he starts talking about things like "resource based economies" (to anyone with even a basic understanding of what money is and how prices work, this is about the dumbest thing you could come up with. Due to all the fancy pictures and well written soundbytes, people don't realize that the only difference between communism (and the average person doesnt really have any idea what this is...) and the Venus Project is technology -- i.e. politically, ideologically and economically -- zero difference.

Aside from fancy pictures and nice sounding but empty talk, there is nothing new. Yet somehow people get caught up in the utterly inane "concepts" like "resource based economies" and then go parroting them endlessly on facebook and forums.



Anyone who thinks that his talk about money is an "interesting idea", needs to pick up some books such as the following

Its not a matter of "disagreeing", as there's nothing of any meaning to disagree with. All economies are "resource based". There is no such thing as a "resource based economy" as distinct from a "money based economy". Furthermore, my golden retriever has a better understanding of money and basic economics than Peter Joseph.

Care to reference the site you speak of?

I watched the first one and the stuff about 9/11 blew my mind. How the beams were cut perfectly and they found traces of thermite stuff. Crazy.

I don't even think his real name is Peter Joseph he changed it right before he made the documentary. Alot-alot of what he had to say was taken from other people most notably Jordan Maxwell that's a fact he even admitted it. The man was simply using other peoples ideas putting them to fancy music and pictures.

That being said I have to say the first one with regards to 911 and the federal reserve was more upsetting then any horror movie I have ever seen.

I saw the sections on Christianity and 9/11. I've never been one for conspiracy theories but Zeitgeist really made me think. The 9/11 stuff creeped me out. I heard stuff before about 9/11 but I never knew about the cut steel beams and how Bush and Cheney said they would only be interviewed together, no recordings, etc. etc. Of course the documentary has plenty of flaws but it's enough to make you wary.

Honestly it doesn't matter who's information it is. I don't think he made the films for the fame. I believe he made them to open peoples eyes and realize that they have been treated like pupets for more than a fucking millennium. For most that watched these films, they didn't take every word as indisputable fact. Rather this made people think about what really goes on in the world. I don't know if it was his intention to 'wake people up' but I'm sure glad that's what happened.
