ZEITGEIST - the biggest load of crap to date...

I watched the movie ZEITGEIST and got pissed off for a couple of days. I couldn't believe what I had seen. Then I started thinking again (an ability I am blessed to still have control over sometimes)... It's shock value is quite effective and had me reeling for a full day - until I could get my hands on the computer and start researching for myself. Unfortunately, when you take the time to start verifying the quotes, photos and even the "evidence" you find out really quickly that many of the best and most shocking elements are complete bullshit. Most of the information in the film is patched together rather like Frankenstein's monster. Many of the quotes (and even photos and film bits) are taken completely out of context and have little or nothing to do with what the filmmakers would like you to believe is true. If you've seen this shock jock style film and are having trouble finding answers, resist the urge to send a link to all of your friends without telling them up front it's a steaming pile of refuse... Need facts - here's a link to a good starting point that delivers the information more clearly and concisely than I ever could...

As for the religious and global domination portions of the film... Well, those of you who know me know that neither of these two theories really make any difference in my life - I don't believe in god (sorry to all of you who think that is a fault in me - I just call it as I see it) and I think globalization is a good thing. Granted globalization will lead to a level playing field and make most of us Americans a lot poorer and lower class citizens in a global market (we are fat, lazy and no longer the inventive, crative and empowered people we once appeared to be - we're a below average student in the school of global life), but then we've been living off the coat tails of most of the rest of the world for too long now anyway.

If you must watch the film (I won't link it here because it doesn't have any intellectual value), knock yourself out. Be warned that it will burn neural pathways in your brain that may make you dumber for watching it.

It's really too bad - There are many REAL reasons for us all to be outraged right now. There are many REAL reasons to change the way things are going too. but unfortunately this country is full of sheeple (thanks for the great word Alan) and very few seem to care about anything outside of themselves anymore.

I for one have had enough. I am fighting back in the only way I know how.
