Zeitgeist
is a German word that literally means ‘spirit of the times.’ The documentary is
comprised by three sections and examines religion, 911, and the U.S. banking
system. It is essentially an exploration into how humans have been and continue
to be controlled and manipulated.
Part
I: The Greatest Story Ever Told
Part I
evaluates the historicity of the Bible. In furtherance of the Jesus myth
hypothesis, this part argues that the historical Jesus is a literary and
astrological hybrid, and that the Bible is based on astrological principles
documented by many ancient civilizations, especially pertaining to the movement
of the sun through the sky and stars. The film explains how and why early
civilizations personified the Sun as the "representative of the unseen Creator
or God" and how stars were linked into constellations, the 12 constellations
being a place of travel for "God's Sun" and representing "elements of nature
that happened during that period of time." This section is also used by the film
to show the Pagan origins of the symbol of the Cross.
Part
II: All the World's a Stage
Part
II of the documentary claims 9/11 was engineered to generate mass fear, justify
going to war with Afghanistan and Iraq, to remove civil liberties from the
general public, and to make more money for the people in
power.
Part
III: Don't Mind the Men Behind the Curtain
According
to Part III, powerful bankers have been conspiring for world domination and
increased power while the rich of society have been using their wealth to
increase financial panic and foster a consolidation of independent competing
banks. The film details and claims that the Federal Reserve System of the
United States, was created in order to steal the wealth of the nation. It
explores war profiteering by banking cartels and defense and military
contractors. It describes the goal of these bankers as world power over the
people. http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/

the warrantless surveillance bill sent
over from the House this week and seemingly assured of passage in the

guarantees civil-lawsuit immunity for the telecommunications companies that
cooperated in earlier surveillance efforts. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/blog/2008/06/25/BL2008062501380_pf.html
