Zeitgeist (The Movie)

Last night, I watched the film 'Zeitgeist'. Follows
my short impression.
First, something i want to get over with before we go into reviewing
the content, is the quality of the film.
this is not a well done movie. there is almost no footage, no background
music, what footage there is mostly lifted from other movies, it is badly
edited, directed and in general, it is an amateur work done with very low
(or none at all) budget.
since this is not a movie review, i am not going to talk anymore about the
'make' but only of the content.
Conspiracies aside, this movie uncovers the origins of our religious
beliefs, and during its first 30 minutes or so, the film reduces Christianity to
a smoldering pile of astrological paganism. that is ok with me, since i see
all religions as a way for this feeble ape to explain the unexplainable.
during the rest of the movie, the concept of 'paper money', 'federal reserve'
and banks are exposed as tools of the trade of 'international bankers', and
as their means of controlling americans, and humanity in general.
The American Dream
1. i am aware of an earlier version of the film, where 'international bankers'
was substituted for several names, and accusations of Jews being behind this.
with a whiff of anti semitism, it is true that many of the world's banks are owned
or controlled by jews, but the perception of 'the jews controlling the money'
is plain out wrong. rich, capitalist scum-bags control all the money, and some
of them happen to be jewish. i dont see anyone touting the same against the catholics,
who, through the vatican has far more wealth and properties (moses = jesus=
muhamad = capitalist pigs, they are all of the same kind)
besides, the names quoted in that early version were incorrect (probably
the reason for using the 'international bankers' phrase).
2. the movie fails to explain why was the 'federal reserve act' signed, other then
'the bankers really wanted it, and had influence'.
3. it is inherent to the capitalist system for a financial entities to aspire towards
survival. actually, it is inherent to any self-preserving system.
just as it is no 'fault' of the whale to swallow everything in its way, or the shark to
grow more and more teeth, so does the capitalist business.
this is the american system, where the strong survive, by swallowing the week.
since money equals power in this system, it is just natural.
summery:
Zeitgeist is not a bad movie, and it does have an educational value for most people.
as always, to appeal to a broad audience means averaging the content.
watch it, it is a good start. if you are already familiar with the subjects discussed,
you may want to watch the following films, which were (i suspect) the basis for Zeitgeist;
Aaron Russo’s "America- Freedom to Fascism" and Dylan Avery’s "Loose Change 9/11".
also, the BBC's "Why We Fight" might have 'contributed'.
IMHO,
even the strongest, mightiest organisms can be brought down by the smallest virus.
information acts as our viral infection, and one can witness the organism's inflammatory
reaction, manifested in all the recent governmental ' information acts' around the globe, trying to limit
and control the infection. we shell prevail, as they (gvmnts, rulers and 'beastly organisms')
are unable to eradicate the infection (free information) without killing the host (the whole purpose
of the internet is to free the information from its boundaries, and any obstruction of this free
flow of information is a de facto suffocation of the internet, and goes against it's nature).
