Zeitgeist Addendum**must see**

[Sarahmay]

Hope they have fixed the inaccuracies, because mostly it was a powerful film except for the first part. (I have no problem being down on religion, but it just wasn't factual). Thanks for posting this!

Its not a re-edit of the 1st one, its a completely different film and prob the best film to pass on to friends i have ever seen so far

Yeah, the first part could have been much better if he did a little bit more research instead of making impossible jumps in symbolism and history. He should have just read "The Sun: A Universal Deity."

I honestly felt like the first zeitgeist was government conspiracy for 12 year olds.

An eye opener:


"Of all the social institutions we are born into, directed by and conditioned upon, there seems to be no system as taken for granted and misunderstood as the monetary system. Taking on nearly religious proportions, the established monetary institution exists as one of the most unquestioned forms of faith there is. How money is created, the policies by which it is governed, and how it truly affects society are unregistered interests of the great majority of the population.

In a world where 1% of the population owns 40% of the planet's wealth, in a world where 34,000 children die every single day from poverty and preventable diseases and where 50% of the world's population lives on less than 2 dollars a day, one thing is clear -- something is very wrong.

And whether we are aware of it or not, the lifeblood of all of our established institutions and thus, society itself, is money. Therefore, understanding this institution of monetary policy is critical to understanding why our lives are the way they are. Unfortunately, economics is often viewed with confusion and boredom. Endless streams of financial jargon coupled with intimidating mathematics quickly deters people from attempts at understanding it; however, the fact is, the complexity associated with the financial system is a mere mask designed to conceal one of the most socially paralyzing structures humanity has ever endured." ~Zeitgeist II

WOW the wait is over. Just downloaded it, watching it now. Another GREAT job. A continuation of the 1st one.

I'm only 40 minutes into the production and I'm just sickened. In the word's of the economic hitman, humanity, certainly the American people are just not aware of how this elitist "empire" has been built, the American govt's clandestined involvment. Explosive exposure! Pass it on to everyone.

i too agree that paret one of the 1st film is very poor. the rest is great mind you. I am now about to watch addendum....

That was the idea. And i tell you, by my own experience, it's way hard to achieve.
Look at the all buzz that the film got from mainstream around the world. And how many millions views on google?! How many "awakenings" is it responsable for?

Innacuracies? Shure has! Like we all have, say or write.

peace

I, for one, will admit that I was ignorant of the fractional reserve banking system and had to backtrack a few times to take notes for later review & comprehension.
Through the yrs I ran across bits & pcs but never had it portrayed in such a manner that is so easily understood.

And I've not yet read one critical word on this thread that negates the portrayal of the system ! To me, this film was revolutionary in its presentation and we simply must be the ones to endure the transition, however ugly it may be!

In the light of the present global economic crisis, it doesn't matter to me who put it out, nor what agenda might be behind it because the system has to GO... is responsible for the pain & suffering of the entire world. But I will say that it took a long time for this to be revealed, considering the pervasive use of the internet these days.

Thank you Chris Parson for letting your take on Sagan fall to the wayside, as 1) your opinion of someone is none of my business 2) it's not required in life to like everyone 3) ad hominems do tell of intention.

The 2nd half of the film gave the entire presentation its true value. Solution, vision, for without this, it's just another venting without direction.

Here we stand, quite possibly facing a very ugly revolution... but it has to be.
