Zeitgeist - Have yu watched it yet?

[Max Roberts]

I thought the film was really good. Very entertaining and thought provoking.

Although Part 1 was an interesting watch, I felt there was some lying going on. I had a look around at sites to see if all these facts about these religious and mythical figures were true and almost none of them added up. The whole thing about the stars was very interesting however.

Part 2 was probably my favorite part. (Showing no disrespect for people affected by 911) I think 911 conspiracies are really interesting and this one is probably the best I've seen. Some of the evidence that was provided seemed very solid and made it very believable (interviews with physicists and the builders of the world trade centers.) I wasn't actually aware that 3 world trade centre buildings went down on that day. The crash at the pentagon is the thing that interests me the most. The way the plane just 'disappeared' and the fact that the FBI were so keen to cover it up quickly. The theory that the world trade centers were controlled demolitions is really freaky. After seeing the way the structure fell and how the builder say it shouldn't have happened like that. The pillar that had been cut diagonally in half and the molten metal on it was what really got me.

Part 3 was probably the scariest of all 3. Showing all these events that have caused massive changes for countries and the world as a whole. The similarities of modern America and the Nazi government. Then the freakiest part of it all, a world government. Suggesting that a super power such as America could soon be in control of the world.

This is just my opinion on the whole thing. I may have misinterpreted the last part of the video but nevertheless I really enjoyed the film!

Thanks!

It's like a huge propaganda film. Some of it I believe and other stuff, I'm not so sure about.

I saw another special on early Christianity and they said they used many of the same holidays because it was easier to convert people if they did not have to give up their pagan holy days or .

the whole Catholic church reasons why it is like it is are for different reasons than God's will.


Ever see "The Life Of Brian" ?

Thanks for that. It helps me to try and define the truths within that film. I fully expect that only about 30% of anything presented nearly ANYWHERE is true.

I grew up in show business. I was present during many interviews, and have given a number of them myself. Despite pads and pencils, and even tape recorders being present and in use, never ONCE did I see anyone surpass 30% accuracy.

I do not represent any of these films as being much more than 30% accurate, but I'd have to say that the evening news (and the church...ANY church) is probably even MORE biased.

I always try to get my info from as many sources as possible, full well knowing that the "batting average" on truth is at best probably about 300.

30% is highly optimistic regarding What The Bleep. It's almost as if the people who came up with it take all of their information from wikipedia and assume they're experts. There are very, very few concepts in this movie that they got correct.

The secret formation of the Fed Reserve by a cabal of mysterious billionaires on Jekyll Island...and its opposition by presidents, senators, and patriots...have been well documented.

That RFID thing is close to reality. Have you noticed how Visa is airing commercials that show how quaint it is to use cash?

Religious threads are allowed in OT now?

So long as they include a healthy dose of conservative-bashing, yes.

Yeah, What the Bleep Do We Know? is 99% nonsense. The people behind that movie are certified lunatics and have no idea what they're talking about. They are frauds and scam artists.

I don't think 30% accuracy is very good.

But trying to use quantum mechanics, or any scientific theory for that matter, to "validate" your religious beliefs is bad theology.

 

[Basshole]

I don't think 30% accuracy is very good.

Well, I've given interviews, and been present at many. I can't recall a reporter getting ANY story more than 30% right. OK. I might be a little cynical...maybe half right? Never more.

Don't expect news agencies, documentary writers, book authors, or anyone else to be able to do much better. The bottom line is that anyone that puts pen to paper, or picks up a camera has an agenda. This invariably shows through. This is why I keep harping on the importance of getting more than one side of the story on ANYTHING. You may never get the whole truth, but you can get a hell of a lot closer.

More info is never worse than less info. It's always best to have as much to go on as possible.

ah, but what of those people who live in perfectly blissful ignorance? surely you've examined what the story is like from their perspective?

 

[Basshole]

From someone that uses "Liberal" alongside their avatar essentially as an epithet? Grow up. Life isn't black and white (it's also not just "Red" or "Blue"). Your fangs are clearly showing, and it's rather unbecoming. In fact, it's hurtful to America.

Remember, Liberal is from "Liberate" and LIBERTY.

Remember LIBERTY? I actually have fond memories of it.

You perhaps need a lesson in what this country (USA) really stands for...or at the very least a refresher course on what the founding fathers really wanted for this country.

Stop with the childish "us vs. them" crap. This stupid Liberal/Conservative, Republican/Democrat $#!+. Can't you see how much damage that crap's done already?

Grow the hell up...you're not helping ANYTHING with that kind of attitude. Don't talk about anyone "bashing" anything until you decide to stop the bludgeoning first, or else your words are rather hollow.

BTW, in case you forgot, this thread was about A MOVIE.

Apparently, without our knowledge, we are now part of the American Union (with Canada and Mexico) and that there will be a new currency called the Amero? Can anyone confirm this?

No.

No-one can confirm it because it's a paranoid delusion cooked up by wack-jobs.

All pure bull-S. http://www.911myths.com/

Have people all of the sudden lost the ability to think critically? Who buys the kind of paranoid nutty, downright INSANE propaganda that's depicted in this film?

Jesus, people, THINK!!!

 

[Philbiker]

It's like a huge propaganda film.

LIKE a huge propaganda film?

It's not just "like" one. It's the film equivalent of the unabomber's manifesto.

 

[Philbiker]

...By nutjobs.

How the moon landings were faked has been "well documented" as well.

 

[Philbiker]

More info is never worse than less info. It's always best to have as much to go on as possible.

No, it's not. When it comes to information, quality is orders of magnitude more important than quantity.

 

[Bass Boy]

I'm not sure if you are referring to the whole post that you quoted but the last paragraph about the NAU is becoming very true. If you think that is a paranoid delusion you REALLY need to see what going on in the US/Canadian/Mexican gov'ts.

 

[Jonyak]

I think people that buy into all this conspiracy stuff without questioning it are nuts.

I also think that people who buy into everything you gov't tells you are nuts.

there is a truth in there somewhere.

Exactly, question everything!
