Zeitgeist & The Venus Project

Raiderdad · #1 10-16-2008, 08:20 AM

1st post....wanted to join to turn over a few more pages in this arena.

The main reason I've joined is to see if I can learn more w/re to the 2 topics in the header here. I did take a fast glance at some of the topics around here & did not see either topic mentioned...perhaps they're burried somewhere?

Anyway....anyone seen Zeitgeist & or the newly released addendum yet?

Also....The Venus Project (TVP) which was given a mention in The Zeitgesit Addendum. As far as TVP goes .....agreed in that it all sounds quite pollayannish or even utopian...however I do agree & feel that we do have the technology to pull this off. The ahrd part of course would be to take out the powers that be who are now in control & manipulating us....as in all the collective govts around the globe.

Not having any need for currency & or politics....ler along work.....imagine that. I guess this is what John & Yoko were signing about in Imagime. ".....why don't you come & join me?...."

Looking forward to learning more as time permits....I'm a stay at home dad w/2 girls....a 3 yr old & 6 yr old so time is not on my side...ok enuff music analogys & lil emoticons already

I'll finish w/the links to both topics (which should also appear in my sig but I'm not sure if I did it all right so I'll add'em here at the end in my 1st post ta see if it indeed worked) should anyone else here be interested in learning more. & note, w/re to Zeitgeist & the newly released Addendum.....dont download it to view....it'll take way too long as both docs are a lil over 2 hrs long...simply view it off the Google or Youtube link is your best way. Def worth your time imo.

Zeitgeist - The Movie

The Venus Project - The Redesign of a culture

Cheers!!

P.S. spelling errors are part of my M.O...sorry. No time ta proof as I'm typically always posting in a rush....ya know...got the ankle biters here to watch over...well that's my excuse anyhow & I'm sticken to it. I did graduate college (albeit back in 89).....but dont think I really learned all that much....def have learned way more once finally getting out of school....but the stuff I've come ta learn doesn't necessarilly make me any happier....& most especially since closely following the currency mrkt for the last 2+ yrs...very interesting stuff especially if you're into conspiracy theory's & how all the money around the globe flows

Def a topic for another thread & one I am very interested in also discussing here.

Ok...thast was quite a P.S. there...gotta run....ck back later on today...time ta go try & raise a better, more informed future for us all.

welcome aboard!

Edit: Zeitgeist front page has some missing images.

But u can still stream it right?

Is Zeitgeist something that you're hearing about for the 1st time? If not, have you seen it before & or know what it's all about?

I think this would be quite the topic for this forum....unless of course I'm bringing old news here which could very well be the case.

justgroovy · #4 10-16-2008, 02:05 PM

Yes the movie is working for me.

Did you make it?

Raiderdad · #5 10-16-2008, 02:47 PM

No I sure didn't....but thx for even entertaining the thought that I could put something like that together

& Leonardo.....sure, I guess Revolution would be the fitting tune for Zeitgeist....but truth be known, I feel the answer to Zeitgeist is The Venus Project....& to that I would have to use Lennon's "Imagine"

I must say that I will be somewhat shocked to learn that folks here have not heard of either Zeitgesit & or TVP before. I was truly expecting at least some previous threads here on at least Zeitgeist.

To this end, I am very much so looking forward to everyone's thoughts & comments on both after you've had a chance to absorb all the info.

It's nap time over here so pounding away at the keyboard is a huge no-no.....so I'll go take a rest myself & crap out in front of the tube for an hr or so...then we're off to go p/up the 1st grader & directly over to gymnastics class. I'll try & check a lil later on tonight....maybe during the game when the D'Rays clinch the AL & move on to the WS. In late June I took Tampa Bay (in Reno..not Vegas...I'm more the Reno type...lol) @ 12-1 ta win it all so I'm pretty happy right about now

& yes, I've been known to be a degenerate gambler....albeit a low baller....VERY low baller....the 12-1 was only for $40.....so if it hits, it'll pay for the 3 day trip up there to collect...& a lil fun $$$ ta boot....but that's 'bout it.

Cheers!! & GO D'Rays!!

It has to do w/re to all the various forms of manipulation....from religion to govt. Speaks to global money flows (as in follow the money to uncover the truth kinda stuff) as well how pretty much all throughout the last several decades there's been a not so coordinated attempt by all the major economies & thus govts of the world to keep their populations as suppressed as possibe. Wether it be by war or via finance...like taxes & interest.

Did you know that there's no law on the books that states we must pay income tax? & technically....via an admendment or 2, one could actually argue that imposing income taxes on the population goes against our alien rights.

I highly suggest you at least give it a few mins of your time....& by all means after that if you don't like what ya see/hear...turn it off. I am not here to force views upon anyone. My intentions for coming here are only to spur a healthy conversation about this...nothing more.

Peace!!

Just wanted to pop in and say that I did manage to watch the first half of the zeitgeist documentary (it's very rare that I have 2 hours of time to watch much of anything unfortunately) and I thought it was very good.

And as far as the term zetigeist goes, I'm not sure if I've heard it called that, but I think that we are all aware of the scam that is the federal reserve, so no, this isn't news to any of us.

Raiderdad · #9 10-17-2008, 10:37 AM

but presented in this way it sure does make it all even scarier. Hopefully you'll get a chance to watch the rest as there were several other facets that it spoke to...religion, numerology, etc.

I do realize w/re to what folks have been sayin about the fed...& espeically now....however ya gotta give the producers credit for pretty much calling the events of today in advance. I don't think even they thought this would all come to pass so soon. It was only put out approx 2 yrs ago....& as mentioned, the newly released addendum is even better....as at the end it actually speaks to what we can do to try & gain some control over what's going on. It is all quite scary....esepcially when you see stuff like the following which is fresh off the presses....

This weekend they meet!

"Blueprint for Worldwide Currency System" straight from the horses mouth.

Yahoo!

All I can say is.....even if this doesn't happen (1 currency) which it most likely wont...at least not right now...the fact that it is even on the table & being considered should scare the beejeezus oudda everyone who has 1/2 a brain. & if we dont try to act now in some way & get organized, I can gurantee you that eventually this will all happen....it's been going in this direction for many yrs now & the bush regime has seemed to have sped up the process considerably.

This is one reason why I feel following global economimcs is critical...not to be a supporter of capitialism, but to be better informed. I hope I am not coming off as some day trader/capitialistic pig. I tend to believe in the saying..."know your friends well but your enemies better"

Thx for taking the time to watch the 1st part....I know I had to watch it all approx 3 times to really absorb it all...very scary stuff indeed.

Cheers!!

Raiderdad · #10 10-17-2008, 10:45 AM

I really hope more folks here will take the time to watch this & the addendum....if anything, you will be better informed.

Talk about the mother of all conspiracy theories here.

& also....fresh off the presses......1 currency being proposed....

Yahoo!

Have they not already got the ball rolling here w/the euro?

Be informed.....slowly but (& not so slowly as of late) surely your rights are being compromised & even in some regards taken away from you.

How does the saying go....follow the $$$ & truth will set you free....one can only hope.

Cheers!!
