The second documentary film, Zeitgeist: Addendum, attempts to locate the root causes of this pervasive social corruption, while offering a solution.
This solution is not based not on politics, morality, laws, or any other establishment notions of human affairs, but rather on a modern, non-superstitious based understanding of what we are and how we align with nature, to which we are a part.
The work advocates a new social system which is updated to present day knowledge, highly influenced by the life long work of Jacque Fresco and The Venus Project.
Interesting to reflect that Bitcoin was being created when this film was released and also the most egregious financial disaster was also about to explode.
Addendum: "now, rests on " 2 minutes to 12 o'clock.....
Powerful! My age [82] and experience indicate that within a very brief time the 'human experiment' will end. The Doomsday Clock now rests on 12 o-clock, and environmental degradation may have passed well beyond a point of remedy.
Personally, having lived thru most of the bloodiest century [20th] in human History, the prospects for humanity, thru these eyes. never appeared promising. The monumental, seemingly ineradicable ignorance of men is too great, and too easily manipulated against them for civilization to become established in hearts & minds.
Hats off to those who try to think of a better way. Smashed hats on those who think I must comply to someone else's ideas. Like it or not all man inflicted systems will require compliance.
ANY system is a govt by another name. No govt is your friend unless you are running it. That was the idea behind the USA, for the people to run it themselves. Unfortunately they were lazy and let the English lawyers take over. The lawyers facilitated their masters to take over through corporations. It matters not who, be it the central bankers or those behind them.
This ziet will not happen in my life time, if ever. Not sure I would want to be a part of it. Depends on if I was running it or not...! So until then, until we stop buying what everyone is selling (globalism which is actually going to be communism, the BS we get indoctrinated with in schools and by the major media) and do your own looking into things rather than believing the major media, we will always be ruled by those who want us to comply to their idea of how things should be, bad or good.
I don't need any of them, or any system of govt, why do you?
I challenge anyone to show me a currency,religion or political dogma that hasn't failed through time,that in mind aren't we all practicing failures right now?as soon as we figure a way to rid man of his inherent laziness and ignorance we might have a shot,till then it's all mindless drivel
God damn, you bickering b.... make my head hurt. Who cares to read those long-ass rants with no paragraph breaks? Not I
The paradigm which we operate under is mathematically going to end. The end of the world as we know it (economic collapse) does not mean it is the end of the world. The way of life we are currently leading is pulling humanity down and should be shown the door. We cannot change the world to make our self happy or free. We must change our self to make the world happy and free. The awakening process is a very hard road for those with no guidance. All of the problems we face in the world start and stop within our consciousness. When you realize that you have this power, nothing can stop this change. Humanity has the ability to truly free themselves once and for all.
NO disrespect to any religion or anyone's beliefs. I will try to be short simple and to the point. the idea of zeitgeist is a really good one in theory if it can be implemented would even be better, understanding that everyone in this world does have to contribute to one's survival , meaning everyone does have to work but without actual money, where everyone will have access to everything as the previous or the next guy true equality, think about this 1% everyone works a job 40 plus hours a week just to make ends meet sure you some may manage to have a little more than others , but it's all a scheme or a system designed to keep the commoners common and the elite or the 1 % wealthy which is why they control 40plus percent of the world's wealth. most people cannot comprehend or fully understand how they dictate or control the world's economy but they do, simply by creating scarcity, i.e. few years ago oil prices were almost $5.00 a gallon but today it's just over $2.00 , what changed ? they created havoc and speculation on the market and it inflated the market, mind you the supply and demand hasn't actually changed neither has the world's supply. and now the oil companies are doing everything in their power to suppress the hydrogen powered cars which are more efficient and reliable not to mention better for the environment. the rothschilds and the Rockefeller are the biggest perpetrators and will continue to sway things in their favor (please research it and confirm) , if the world's wealth were to be distributed evenly among the world's population and all wars were to cease immediately there would not be any hungry or homeless in the world. ( just the money spent on wars alone would be enough), understanding where humanity is today that 1% that dictates and seeks out to enslave us while they live a life of luxury and abundance , think if the tables were turned how would they react? , I have no problem working but I also want to enjoy life travel see the world but I could never afford it cause I'm stuck in the same scenario as everyone else. let's spend money on science and technologies to improve and make things better for humanity as a hold not as a profit line for the billionaires.
which is why I agree with the zeitgeist idea :)
Read the book "the great controversy", then read the bible and thus, apply it all to zeitgeist. I am sure heads will be turned. I love all you as God loves us all, even as we keep bickering back and forth against each other like children in elementary school. If you look for truth with all your heart you will find it. Be informed. Ignorance is not bliss, it is a choice.
The Zeitgeist movement allows you to accept or reject any concepts from the 18 essays. It is constantly in flux and evolving. It is nothing like religion. You should be capable of finding your own Zeitgeist, a cognitive parking space if you will, until you move or simply stay.
This is the kind of doc conspiracy theorists love.
(Any) religion is just an idea, just like zeitgeist. You entertain it, then you're caught with it mentally. Nothing wrong about that, but if you feel disadvantaged by an idea like religion, then there must be something wrong on how you apply (or not apply) such idea in your lives. Shows that you're weak intellectually.
This documentary has lots of great points, but the discussion on religion is BS. Religion doesn't cause division. People misinterpreting their holy text do. Divisiveness starts once an a-hole of a religious leader brainwashes their poor and easily-controlled followers to assert such false idea, even to others who are non-followers.
The zeitgeist ideology is no exception to this pathology. Look at how divided they are now.
there is no religion mentioned in this documentary as matter fact its telling you of how the world economy is working ! How it turned to a religious conversation is ridiculous. Shows the ignorance of people, they will rush the white house to see a president get inaugurated I mean millions of people, including celebrities talk show hosts, yet their veterans who fought for their country have to get donations so that they can live a sustainable life ??? they fought for your country I don't see your presidents on the frontline nor do I see anyone challenging them to the FACTS why would you send Jackals to kill non recipient leaders who do not follow your brainwashing scheme? no one dares to ask or to question. I guess this is why the 1% prevail, leave the rest of them uneducated so they have to join the military and make up your wars so you can validate the reasons why, kill your young soldiers for what ? crazy thing is YOU STILL ALL JOIN THE ARMY even after seeing the realities, now that takes some brain washing indeed. If they can make money up then I guess making up wars is okay to..... WAKE UP !!!!!
This type of world has always been possible,for it to happen the devils have to leave.
Just excellent....the world is such a beautiful place, it IS only profit that is killing it, lets hope we don't spend ourselves into oblivion, the Earth will just restart over again as it has done 4 times already ,until it does find life forces that can get on together as one, it sure seems humans blinded by this money and power cannot..
This is an embodiment of the socialism of 21th century.
I do not agree with what you say except on some of the religious stuff. I am and will remain a Christian. It is man that has screwed up religion and caused it not to be believable. With regards to the money machine - they are not stupid. They will figure out what you are up to. You have clearly stated repeatedly in the movie that they have murdered for their cause. If you think they will go down without a fight you are strongly mistaken. They will hunt you out and kill you, therefore, you are going to have to literally fight for the zeitgeist lifestyle. Also I think you are in a dream world if you think 100% of the world population is going to live like they are suppose to. There are people that are mean and evil for the fun of it, with nothing to do with their raising or any other outside forces. They won't stop just cause everyone is in egalitarian society.
I do not disagree with what you would like to achieve, I'm all for it. I just think it is going to be a lot harder than you think - or maybe you know that but you are not being upfront and telling everyone else that.
One last thought - you said no one would have to work - if not who will grow & harvest the crops and build & maintain the "technology" you keep talking about?
Time to get over it peoples.
Inviable friends, are a physiological problem, not a way of life.
This is the third time this month that I've been educated by documentary about the Federal Reserve and how economics is "inflated" by the creation of imaginary dollars...something I knew nothing about before now.
Back to the nightmare of reality after another brilliant film from Peter Joseph. Thanks Peter. If everybody does something then we'll make a new world.
Remember what Brian said in 'The Life of Brian' - "Don't follow anyone..."
Create!
Keep talking!
Laugh and yet feel sorry for those that argue for the continuation of the abusive system - they're victims of an evil ideology - it's not their fault.
what was the solution again?!
Money is definitely the route of all evil.
Religion doesnt solely cause conflicts between people. Christianity teaches us that true Joy comes from helping others through the work of god. Somewhat in the same sense of what this video just told us. Except this concept was written long before, in the bible. Whatever Religion, there is a sense of right and wrong taught. Now adays there isnt war so much on conflicting religions. It's more like, well if you don't believe in my religion then you are going to hell and that is your decision to make, I won't force you to change your religion. There will always be a church united, as long as there are people who believe in it. You won't really know if there is an afterlife until you cross over, and until science proves where our soul or where "life" goes after it leaves Earth, then Religion seems to have the best answer for it.
Good luck with the venus project :)
This is very utopic to believe in that project.
If you want to succeed, you will need to eliminate all corrupt (or corruptable) people on this planet, and this is a lot of people. After, you will need to change human nature.
corruption = money = power = corruption...
This was true 5000 years ago and will be that way in 5000 years.
i really feel that anyone who can denounce these movies in anyway must not be from the same planet as me
