Zeitgeist, conspiracy theory gone mad!!??

Hello all...
I am no conspiracy theory advocate as they usually assume that the governments that perpetrate them are competent enough to pull them off in the face of evidence to the contrary - bad education, healthcare etc etc - if they can't get that right how can they pull off fake moon landings etc!!
But, I love it when conspiracy theorists make a good argument!!
As they do in this YouTube based movie...Zeitgeist. From the big bang - to Iraq!!!!
I've linked to part 1 of 13 if you like it follow up...
I don't agree with all of it, but some of it!
Enjoy, but please note some of the opening scenes are harrowing - kids warning!!!
Video #2 contains the most relevant astro content - after that conspiracy rules!!!
Doug

ps...don't shoot the messenger!!

Bare with it Ken
It's thought provoking to say the least!!
Some of it has been banned by YouTube, but the 1-13 video content seems to have escaped scrutiny and seems intact - instant controversy!!!!
As I said though, 1st part highlights our inhumanity to our fellow man pretty graphically to set up the arguments to follow.

The opening sequences contain subliminal messages that will compromise your free will.


Watch at your own peril!!!

It's clear to me you've been compromised already. My warning was all for nought.

You'll be lining up to join the CWA before you know it. Seek help immediately.

Alex, your wish is my command!!
http://zeitgeistmovie.com/transcript.htm
Can't wait to see what you make of it!
This transcript only covers Pt 1 of the movie.
Pts 2 and 3 are the conspiratorial guts so to speak!
Check out the review link a few posts up for a pretty fair assesement of the whole thing.
All the best
Doug

Yep..

Big Money and Christianity have enslaved mankind. We are all just mindless pawns in a damned world.

..or something like that.

See? SEE? Your cognitive abilities are breaking down faster than I expected.
Soon total confusion will be all you know.

Next you'll be a drooling puppet watching 'Dancing With The Stars' et al, that will have you dialing your mobile at 55 cents per call to fill the coffers of the Big Money syndicates.

Oh that one... of course there is a case for that sort of thing but I suspect the movie suggests a sinister thing no doubt.. that I doubt.. things just muddle along in my view, certain folk think they have control and they do to a degree.. money guides many things even science so what is new in that...

but I agree we are all just mindless pawns in a damned world.. but as to who the players are who would ever know... the banks, the church, the military... and it is only damned because we get so much good stuff when you think about it...polution will dam us.

If a conspiracy of any description at least there is a plan... better than none


Thanks for a fine movie review
alex
