    You can watch the full film HERE for free.

    I've seen it. While I take everything I see and read with a pinch of salt I find this film fascinating. Whether you believe a word of it or not, there's plenty there to stimulate the little braincells if nothing else.

    I think I saw about a half an hour of this before... it's been doing the eRounds for a fair while at this stage.

    I wouldn't want to write off a film I hadn't fully seen but the reason I turned it off was because it was your usual "did you know the world is controlled by Reptilian Jews who are under the direct orders of the Real Vatican - the one run by Pope Bin Laden?" stuff.

    The internet is so infested with this Icke-ian style stuff that even if it were true I'd be so sick of hearing it I'd ignore it anyway.

    I'm less interested in the truth of it (if any) than I am in the mind-expanding exercises -and enjoyment- it's possible to take from it.

    Even if it's all nonsense there's enough there to make you think and enjoy doing so in the manner of the greatest fiction. Why angrily switch it off just because "it isn't true"?

    I've seen other similar stuff (not a lot -I don't make a habit of watching these) and followed some of them up with some research that convinced me of, shall we say, "careful or deluded presentation of editted material", but Zeitgeist must be one of the best in terms of presentation and scope. Give it a watch. Don't feel the need to believe it. Enjoy!

    I found it interesting but it is in two parts,the first about world religions and thier commone threads and the second about the rise of the banking cartels in america.

    I watched the movie,a nd may have believed too much,
    I feel sick.

    I've just watched this movie and really enjoyed it. The second part of it about the 9/11 was very much like "Loose Change 2nd Edition" and the narrator even sounded like the guy....maybe he is. The first part about Christianity and the sun particularly aswell as the 12 constellations are really food for thought!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 605 ✭✭✭ghouldaddy07


    I had seen this awhile back and found it enjoyable particularly the part about the American bank.

    What I do hate about these sorts of internet films is people spouting them as proof of some conspiracy theory calling you one of the brain dead masses if you don’t be leave it.


    The religious part of the film has allot of flaws particularly simplifying other countries deities to being exactly like Jesus even though a quick wiki or any theological textbook will tell you quite different.

    However it was made well and very well presented.

    I’m almost certain it got a good roasting in the conspiracy theories forum or else in the politics one and from what I remember it’s a good discussion about the facts in the film.
    film.

    I thought so too. It was a few months ago I watched this, I can't remember how many deities he lists (towards the start) and says that, according to their myths, they were all born on December 25th. I looked up most of these online and couldn't find any reference to Dec. 25th.

    sure they had no 25th of december back then.

    the modern calendar was not introduced.

    all there births were celebrated on the solstice.

    This is the most tenuous of all the similarities however, and it is unfortunate that it is the one being most discussed, perhaps due to its accessibility.

    gave me quite a few chills I must admit. I'd known about the American Union, the Amero, the expansion of the EU and the Asian Union for quite a while, but i'd never tied them together as ever all joining. I know a fair bit about the Canadian system also as i'm married to one, and I had been noticing a lot of what this film puports over the last few years. Basically Canada relies solely on America to protect it, it has little or no military, and instead, in exchange for protection, allows America to run as many oil pipelines through canada from Alaska as it wishs, it also allows America to base a large amount of military in Canada for training. I can well see it amalgamating with Canada in the near future.

    The RFID chip thing particularly unerved me because my thesis in college was based on it, I researched and designed methods of tracking people either via RFID tags or the bluetooth signal emmitted from their phone. As each RFID or bluetooth device has a unique ID (much like a NIC MAC address) you could tie an individuals name to that ID easily, Like they said they've already installed these in US passports, china has already rolled them out in ID cards and england is set to introduce these ID cards shortly. In your lifetime I guarantee it will be mandatory to have these chips installed to travel abroad, as much as you need a passport today.

    Good movie, a load of it is bollocks but its entertaining nonetheless.
