What do Christianity, 911 and The Federal Reserve all have in common?


The more you begin to investigate what we think we understand,
where we came from, what we think we're doing,
the more you begin to see we've been lied to.

We've been lied to by every institution.
What makes you think for one minute that the religious institution
is the only one that's never been touched?

The religious institutions of this world are at the bottom of the dirt.

The religious institutions in this world are put there by the same people
who gave you your government, your corrupt education,
who set up your international banking cartels.

Because our masters don't give a damn about you or your family.

This is a two hour long film, so I don't expect too many to watch it. But in light of the economic events of the past few days, and the decades (centuries?) of buildup to them, if you haven't seen this film it's definitely worth your time.


"Zeitgeist is originally a German expression that means 'the mind of the age', literally translated as 'time (Zeit) mind (Geist)'. It denotes the intellectual and cultural climate of an era." --wikipedia


John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Address to the American Newspaper Publishers, 27 April 1961

The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.
...
For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence -- on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations.

Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.

Going to be a long time gone... (4.00 / 14)


and it appears to be a long time (4.00 / 6)
before the dawn.

perfect song (4.00 / 3)
and vid, thanks, Edger.  :-)

No ponies, but
"Please pass the lotus flower..."

We have ... (4.00 / 5)
... government secrecy but not citizen's privacy.  It is obscene.

I think of Hurrican Ike ... folks still suffering so badly in Galveston, Houston, we don't even know what happened at Guantanamo, and why?  Why use so many resources to hide what happened instead of using those resources to make things better?

Secrecy is now the default setting of our federal government and exploitation of our privacy as well.


The third from the last paragrah (4.00 / 7)
in Kennedy's speech that I linked to above:

"Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed -- and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our press was protected by the First Amendment -- the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution -- not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply "give the public what it wants" -- but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold, educate, and sometimes even anger public opinion."

To inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state, to indicate, to lead, mold, educate, and sometimes even anger is now the job of blogs.

not to emphasize the trivial... (4.00 / 4)
wow!  Wish he was around to give that line today.

[ Parent ]
You can say that again! (4.00 / 4)


[ Parent ]
not to emphasize the trivial... (4.00 / 4)
wow!  Wish he was around to give that line today.

[ Parent ]
what did he say? (4.00 / 2)
;-)  

something about "That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy." and the Press?

Wow, ek. Thanks! (4.00 / 1)
I'll get right on putting together my next 4 day old essay! ;-)

Tomorrow Edger... (4.00 / 2)
...tonight's zeitgeist ist schlafen mussen!

If ever a species deserved to be replaced, we do!   Isaac Asimov

i tried to watch it (4.00 / 2)
got seven minutes 25 seconds in

but the beginning. that man. yeah. experience is unconditional.

what a fucking sentence.

Well the first man comes along that can read Latin is welcome to rob us, far as I'm concerned. I'd like a chance t' shoot at a educated man once in my life. Gus McCrae, Lonesome Dove


Try this part of it then.... (4.00 / 1)
JP Morgan, publicly considered a financial luminary of the time, exploited his mass influence by publishing rumors that a prominent bank in New York was insolvent or bankrupt. Morgan knew this would cause mass hysteria, which would affect other banks as well. And it did.
