The Zeitgeist Movement

Very thought-provoking video.

So, what do you think?

Despanan · 11-06-2009, 11:24 PM

Old, retarded, and chock full of plagiarism.

The first part is "The God Who Wasn't" and the second part is "Loose Change" taken VERBATIM.

Third part is a random amalgamation of nearly every conspiracy theory of the last 100 years rolled together and attributed to the macinations of "World Bankers" (ie: Jews)

the research is shoddy, the "facts" disproven, and leaps of reasoning and mental gymnastics required to actually reach the conclusion of Zietgiest leave all but the nuttiest wishing they'd gouged their eyes out.

Why did you force me to remember Zeigeist Jaye? Do you hate me? For that matter, why did you sit through it? Do you hate your brain? There are better ways to kill it's cells: Do it with beer like the rest of us.

I thought I couldn't lose any more faith in humanity.

This video proved me wrong.

DepthsofSpace · 11-07-2009, 07:42 AM

Wow, that's been out for a while. And it still sucks.

Despanan · 11-07-2009, 07:51 AM

I love how massively ignorant it is on simple mythology,

like when it's trying to say Jesus and Horus are the same deity, it's all:

Jesus was born of a virgin! Horus was born of a virgin!

Yeah...Isis stitched Osiris's dead body back together, couldn't find his penis, so she fashioned one out of clay, stuck it on and fucked her husband's corpse to concieve Horus.

Not exactly the same thing as the virgin birth.

Dear folks,

Mea culpa. Didn't watch the whole thing. Only the part about ecology and finances, which seemed reasonable enough. Should've watched it before posting; however, you don't have to agree with it. I just mentioned that it was it thought-provoking, and it is. Okay, so I have been properly flamed and charcoal-broiled, and I can go crawl under the house now like a properly whipped puppy -- or I can self-flagellate and go hang out on VF.

(Or I can just behave myself and go to church, like I'm supposed to be doing, and open up the library, like a good little church librarian).

Despanan · 11-07-2009, 10:40 AM

Well I'll give you that, it IS thought-provoking.

Specifically it's thoughts of going Sweeney-Todd with Occam's razor on whatever inbred-basement dweller cut that eye-assaulting bit of drivel together and put it on the intarwebs provoking.

Took the words right outta my mouth.

Only intended to lurk but decided to join just to give my 2 cents here.

When you get down to it, 98% of Zeitgeist is absolute bull. With that said, there are 2 things they got right. While I believe he had to have been based on a real historical person, the story of Jesus has countless of similar versions that started way before the beginning of AD. For example, the ancient Egyptian tale of Horus. Second, there ARE corrupt world leaders. No, I don't mean "self interest" corruption. I mean flat out, thinking they're better than humanity ala Hitler thinking he's better than the Jews. Hitler by the way was financed by none other than Prescott Bush. But I'm sure like others he had "no idea" what he was supporting.

The film claims that every single president we've ever had has been chosen beforehand. Untrue. That process only began around the late 1930s/early 40s. Eisenhower said the exact words "presidents are selected, not elected". JFK wasn't corrupt and that's why he was killed. It's unknown how he got into office.

Yes, 9/11 was a self inflicted wound. There are many college educated people who support this claim. The idiots who shout "BUT TEH JEWS DID IT!!!"
in my experience believe the Holocaust was a lie. That's not me. And if you doubt our government would pull off 9/11 take a research Operation Northwoods. Was it carried out? No, but the fact that our government was even considering it is scary as hell.

I really wanna know the answer to a question I've been pondering. What is it about our site that attracts you people?

Are you saying you've had other members who know the truth about the New World Order? And that upsets you in some way? As I said, I was intending on just lurking so other than this thread I don't really have a desire to become active here, but if you don't even want me to reply to this thread, just tell me and I'll leave.

Yes, some of our other members are batshit insane.

I'd rather you not leave, you guys are rather entertaining. Kind of like going to a zoo and watching monkeys fling shit at each other.

Jaye Jang said Zeitgeist was "thought provoking".

Jaye Jang is retarded, this has already been established.

What I don't understand is why completely intelligent and, I assume. relatively sane people buy into all this conspiracy garbage.

BrainwashedConspiracyNut · 11-08-2009, 07:13 PM

OK, maybe if you actually checked out the Wikipedia link I provided, you'd see we're not so crazy.

Yea, Wikipedia is a completely reputable source, just one step down from FOX News.

Wikipedophilia doesn't count.

Believing in things never made them true.
