Zeitgeist: The Movie
June 26th, 2007
What is it: a Discovery Channel-style film
What it is about: It goes through specific religious myths and debunks them, then moves into more modern and political myths and begins to show you just how easily we can be mislead.
Why you need it: It will open your eyes to several things you never even stopped to think about and then it will grab you by the lapels and attempt to shake some sense into you. Regardless of your religious or political stance, this film will challenge your beliefs in a way very few other things can.

You know, I’m a retired man, 69 years old, and personally, what I saw and heard in “Zeitgeist: The Movie” doesn’t surprise me one damn bit. I watched the three buildings collapse in on themselves from the timed demolitionson the news reports for days and weeks, and heard ,and read, all the reports about all the explosions taking place within the three buildings, and also saw the pictures of the steel girders cut at angles by those explosions. I also saw, and read the government’s explanation of the lack of evidence at both the Pentagon and the field in Pennsylvania. I became sick to my stomach because I knew I was watching another example of our government at work.
Over the years I have watched building after building being taken down by those same types of demolitions, and knew, without a doubt, what was happening.
I have watched this nation decay for almost 70 years, and I’m not talking about Rock N’ Roll, The Blues, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and now Hip Hop and Rap. What I am talking about, is the capacity of the people in power to make the American people believe exactly what they want us to believe.
I’m talking about the politicians in this country that enter their chosen field of endeavor thinking that perhaps they can make a difference, but once inside, they become a part of the “good ‘ol boy” scenario so they, too, can begin to reap the gold as so many of those before them have done.
Of course, “reaping gold” is everybody’s hope and dream, but the problem with the politician doing that is that they become corrupted by the very system into which they inject themselves.
Thus, they become their own worst ememies by becoming lackeys (sic) of those with the real power and also become foes of their very own constituents – unbeknownst to most of the people in their districts because of the facades they choose to hide behind.
Well, those of us that have been around as long or longer than I, have seen so many examples of what our Central Bank System has done that there are so many of us that feel the revolution we started in the 60’s was never completed.
A perfect example of being mislead and lied to by our government was said rather well In the collection “THE MOVEMENT TOWARD A NEW AMERICA: THE BEGINNINGS OF A LONG REVOLUTION”, with apologies to Mitchell Goodman, wherein Newsweek Magazine quoted the official spokesman for the United States mission in Saigon during the Vietnam War as saying, “My directive says that our policy is one of minimum candor.” And further, from William Touhy, the Los AngelesTimes correspondent in Siagon, when he wrote:
“What is new, in our democracy, is the quantity, the degree of news management. What is new is the fact that high government officials openly admit it, and that the large majority of the American people have accepted it as one of the facts of life.”
Thus, “News Management” has proliferated beyond misleading the American people, to the point of no return. It is now the “truth” and “fact” and “the Holy Grail” of what the American people have been led to believe.
My daddy used to tell me, “Believe nothing of what you hear, and only half of what you see!”, and at this point in my life, I realize for a man with a sixth grade education, he was smarter than most people I know today.
