I've watched it & its pretty good up to a point. The section on 9/11 is a load of crap IMO, but the part on the banking system is spot on.

The banking bit was interesting.
The bit where a film producer was talking about his friendship with one of those Rockafellow chaps though... the text says [11 months before 9/11] yet the film producer talks about 9/11 in his dialogue?

It's a shame they didn't comment on global warming though

just searched google and saw this

What Is The Zeitgeist Movement About? - Yahoo! Answers

Brought in conception in the documentaries Zeitgeist and Zeitgeist: Addendum. It conceptualizes a new social transformation.

You need to go to the website and READ.

It's the most logical, intelligent solution to all of our worlds problems based on a possible 'resource based economy'. Which in essence means all humans are entitled to and have heritage to the earths resources, that we are capable now of becoming technologically advanced enough to create in abundance all the items we need to live. Food, shelter, health and safety. Leaving us free from labor and work to pursue education, creativity, and develop ourselves as a race. It abolishes such things like money, government, religion, war, the military, and diversionary materialistic noise. Problems are resolved through education and understanding the roots of and fixing or transcending them. It is not a political movement. it does not recognize governments or nations. Only true symbiosis of humans and the earth. Technology, science, nature, humans, and intelligence working together to create and maintain global long term stability. It is a non profit web site.

It opens up a whole new thought for the future of the human race. It brings up a lot of questions concerning transition without losing art, or movies, or entertainment, games. But I think it also proves that we only feel the want for these things because we are conditioned to since birth.

Watch the site for more content. and get involved. It's the only way we're going to truly save our selves from ourselves.

I managed to flick on to one of the more obscure Sky channels a couple of days ago - controversial TV.

Zeitgeist Addundum was on. I see the point being made. The current system really doesn't work and effectively holds us back through a lack of unity and a broken capitilist system and corrupt governments.

i.e. - why bother REALLY working on alternative energy when the currrent energy system makes a few people silly rich.

The problem with no laws and no money are two fold and neither program really explains how to solve it - 1) without a government to create a rule structure, humans will just fight and stiff each other for their own benefit. 2) with no money, why bother doing anything for anyone else?

Overcome these two major failings in the human condition and their idea might work. The only other thing that has any chance of working is wipe half of us out and see what happens.

And another thing, with machines doing all the hard work, what the bloody hell will humans do with their spare time? People too educated for thier own good would like to think they would spend the time to philosiphise or paint??!! Your average Joe will sit on his a*rse wondering where Jeremy Kyle went.
