VIVA la revolucion!

ZEITGEIST!!! 9/11 was fake! The Holocaust didn't happen! Man didn't land on the moon! There was two shooters!!  The freemasons are plotting to take over the Nation!  The Dharma Initiative is real! Elvis is alive!  Aliens Exist!  Gotta love conspiracy theorists.

Tyler, while I don't agree with everything in the video, it was a showing of different perspectives. A different way of looking at the world, and pointing out coincidences and such.

Now, I understand that you rather vehemently disagree with what the video says...however, watch how far you take it. A debate would be nice, but, really, don't just insult it and the people that watched it, and had open enough mind to consider it.

I thought it was a pretty good movie. Now, I don't believe that the government caused 9/11 or put explosives in the World Trade Center, surely there'd be more evidence of something like that, but I agree that the military-industrial complex (with all those greedy capitalists) is an evil entity that doesn't mind letting people die (and that the Bush administration took advantage of 9/11 for financial gain). Some of the specifics were, in my opinion, exaggerated but I agree with most of the main points it makes.

Tyler, the movie was made to open peoples minds. Not to offend people or just to be another conspiracy theory. If you read the website, it explains that better that I probably can. If you cant realize that, than its really not worth debating with you because you dont have an open enough mind to even consider something that doesnt agree with your beliefs.

I had an open mind about it. I actually checked out the website and the video, and i have non beef with what it said about the Federal reserve. I have a problem with how it attacks religion with very spotty arguments. It has been proved that the catholic church made the 25 Jesus's "birthday" because in was the same day of a pagan celebration (that of the sun staying in the same position for three days) and they tried to convert the pagans by making them celebrate a christian holiday. Not saying that i agree with compromise of a religion, im saying that his arguments are weak. The scriptures also point out different attributes of the messiah, and as we learned in human geo there were a lot of false messiahs before Christ.
As for insulting, i in no way shape or form intended to insult anybody. It was my attempt at sarcastic humor pointing out the other ludicrous conspiracy theories. I was also wondering if the preacher of zeitgeist had cracked a bible. Or have they visited the homes of those who lost loved ones. Have the met al quaeda members who told the truth about 9/11. Met anybody that watched the planes fly over the highway and into the pentagon? My Father's old boss was killed in the pentagon. I have met a family friend who watched the plane crash into the building. To say that it didnt happen is insane. I beleive i had an open mind to consider it. I watched the video, weighed the arguments and have found more information in my favor.

If they want to "open minds" they really shouldn't have actually laughed at people who believe in God. I didn't have as much of a problem with that, but I almost stopped watching after they started saying 9/11 was a lie, but I kind of skipped ahead to the next part. However, alot of the other points made like the financial reasons for wars, the promotion of mass media entertainment to distract the public, and the lack of interest in education, are all legitimate, or at least not crazy. Especially the use of war as a means to control the people, gain support, and restrict freedoms. (I'd recommend Fahrenheit 9/11, it has the more rational arguments and besides, is more entertaining)

Anyway whenever you hear a conspiracy theory like those, that’s just what the Jews want you to believe! (that’s what some guy on Fox said, I’m not sure which one, I thought it was a funny quote)
