Heard this film mentioned a few times, never seen it. Anyone care to comment on whether I should watch it?

It's a conspiracy theory film.....basically the same old NWO junk.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeitgeist:_The_Movie
Zeitgeist: The Movie is a 2007 documentary film by Peter Joseph. It asserts a number of conspiracy theory-based ideas, including the Christ myth theory, alternative theories for the parties responsible for the September 11 attacks in 2001 and that bankers manipulate the international monetary system and the media in order to consolidate power

There's bits of truth in all these conspiracy theories....but they veer off into uncharted weird waters.

Isn't Zeitgeist the one where they bash Christianity (and religion, in general) using arguments that they (unknowingly) cribbed from Theosophists?

The bankers theory is certainly looking feasible.

Welcome to the board.....

There's no doubt that the rich and powerful manipulate various economic aspects to their benefit but the wealthy (aristocrats in the past) have always done this.
Is this a conspiracy or just human nature?

Maybe in this day and age of investigative journalism,a conspiracy is part and parcel of manipulation,if only to avoid jail?
Of human nature,certainly this is the case,imho.

Welcome. Williams.

Dr. Wu -- Manipulation is an interesting term. I was reflecting on the way we all manipulate one another to act a certain way. This is "learnt behavior" that is my term and I use it often. I know learnt is an improper spelling.

Fact is, we learn through lessons in life what is right and what is wrong. All through-out life. Life is hard. It knocks us down. But the behaviors you learned as a child are the hardest to break. I shout when I am excited or angry. Loudly. You know something. Then you don't. It get's lost in translation because we believe motives are behind them. People doubt each other. Do not trust one another. But you want back what you knew. Instead of leaping forward into the unknown, we draw back. It is a mad mad world.

How do you logically make sense of any of it?

Blessings,
Nimue
