If you have seen Zeitgeist?

Question

Is there any hope for the world? Are the Rockefeller's destined to create a one world controlled government once and for all? Can we stop this? Why are people so quick to trust authority? Who wants to stop our civil liberties being taken from us every day without any warning our say so?

Answer 1

You should seriously take that movie with a few hundred grains of salt.

Answer 2

Wrap a wet towel around your head.  It'll make it harder for them to track you.

Answer 3

The goal of the movie (I believe) was to inform.  It's up to you not to be paranoid.  Our government, unfortunately, is a "back door" socialist society whether we admit it or not.  When you look at the Patriot Act, it's quite obvious what's happening.  I think the only thing we can do is vote for who we believe in to do the right thing.

Answer 4

Ill fight with you!!!!!! And it is both parties, they sold us out. They keep us separated by hot topic issues like race, abortion, gun rights etc. To keep us divided on these red haring ideals. We as citizens for the most part have common ground and common sense, btu don't use it due to being blinded by the two party system. If we could unite we could win. However I don't see that ever happening, we are doomed....

Answer 5

Yes, I watched it. And you can dismiss it as a reliable source for the subjects it covers.

The notion that the Rockefellers are going to take over the world harkens to bygone days when J.D. was one of the richest men in the world, But fortunes of yesterday tend to fade, and today the richest Rockefeller doesn't even make the top 100 (http://www.forbes.com/lists/2008/10/bill... )

So should we be concerned about our civil liberties and abuse by those in power? Absolutely! An alert and involved citizenry keeps a democracy healthly. Learn, analyze, and get involved.

Is this movie a good source for such info. Absolutely not. It's a propagentary of the filmmakers personal view of the world chocked full of inaccurances.

"There is no shortage of information which refutes this viewpoint. But this type of conspiracy relies on two elements common to web surfers: First, they're only willing to check facts at the most superficial level, which usually means they'll read a message or watch a clip just once before forming an opinion and moving on.
