Zeitgeist The Movie / America: Freedom to Fascism

Zeitgeist The Movie   / America: Freedom to Fascism

What I like about this film is that is seems to be trying to serve as a wake up call, and it's growing more widely circulated. It's free and available for viewing via Google Video... I like that it stimulates people to think, to consider themselves challenged.

What I personally find discrediting is the lack of accountability and organization within the film. Other than attributing quotes and using footage of news and people (some experts) discussing the topics being explored, they do little to provide sources for their conclusions. Making it feel very much like a conspiracy manifesto.

I hope that today's generations cease to take whatever information is spoon fed to them, that they begin to think and consider things of this world in light of truth.

A conversation with a new friend left me thinking of the "money trail" concept. Often truth in this world can be traced to money and the desires of those with power. There are times when those with less power gather together to create change. Those times of gathering together are powerful. Some of the only times when education has been reformed and dismantled of discrimination come when people gather together in the name of a common desire, a common goal, based on truth, based on human rights and they create change by persistent action together (One example is when California residents wanted their Chinese students to be allowed to attend local schools). Change doesn't happen alone.

I just watched the story of Ghandi, the film was amazing. The people came together behind him and rejected the status quo being imposed upon them.  His interactions with the governing officials from England

Recently my pastor at City Lights taught regarding rulers and criticism. He said, when we begin talking about those in authority we can become like late night talk show hosts - employing sarcasm and disrespect to ridicule our leaders. If you look at Jesus he was truthful and he was vivid. He called the people bringing into the temple a brood of vipers. He was legitimately angry. But I think there's a spirit to tearing down our faulty and flawed leaders that takes our eyes off  idea of truth + love. My calling a leader some cruel names or tearing him apart  lacks impact, as far as I am concerned. I think critique, discussion, objecting to a leaders ideas, practices and votes is perfectly all right. It's just when we get into taking shots at people, any person, it isn't the way I want to live.

Whose desires are driving what is happening in this situation? Whose money is enabling or disabling the action or inaction?

Watch for yourself
Jay Kinney's Review

Part I: Focus on Religion
 "Always Be Ready" put together an analysis and response to the "facts."
If you watch the film, please at least skim this collection of responses! The writers' take on Christian and Catholic history, knowledge of the bible and historical sources, is very skewed, unsupported and fallatious.

The first part of the film consists of a historically inaccurate breakdown of Christianity; calling the crusades and the dark ages Christian in itself is inaccurate - they were lead bu the Catholic church... The Crusades were a war, and it was not a Christian war but a Catholic war. Catholic officially do not believe they are part of Christianity (as in the un-Catholic Christians). Everyday practicing Catholics may or may not agree with that assertion but the Roman Catholic church itself  "Christian" movement. See this helpful article on that...)

Part II: Focus on 9/11
 Question? Have you heard about the PNAC? Why not?

Conspiracy theories  about 9/11 discussed in the Cornell Daily Sun.
What a disaster. There are so many things mentioned and so many discussions out there about how the attack on America was an inside job, how connected it is to the financial interests of the wealthy and powerful here in the USA.

Here are some nuggets of information...
Osama tape is planted evidence.
Bush Sr. was having breakfast with members of the Carlyle Group, including Bin Ladens' brother, the morning of 9/11.

Part III: Focus on the corruption of the credit system we function within, the Central Bank, the Federal Reserve... the tax system... wow.

Around  the last third of the film,  (1 hour 9 min into the film) I thought the film got most interesting.

I recommend just skipping up to this portion if you only watch part of the film. The first part is grossly inaccurate, and the conclusions at the very end are debatable (regarding the Amero and the North American Union), like much of the film there's not really a distinction made between their claims and facts. However, the discussion of the federal reserve, the system of credit our nation functions under...

If you need to see something to prove just how corrupt our federal government is and how corrupt the money system we function within is - watch this last part of the film and *then* look on to Aaron Russo's film America: Freedom to Fascism  (developed by a better filmmaker... whose work smacks less of conspiracy theory!).
  

I must end this now...
