Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist, a German expression that means "the spirit of the age". Literally translated Zeit = Time and Geist = Sprit; it describes the intellectual and cultural climate of an era. "Zeitgeist" refers to the ethos of a select group of people, that express a particular (predominantly post-modern) world view, which is prevalent at a particular period of socio-cultural progression.

The film rocked my socks. It's a little over two hours long, but worth watching if you feel like interneting your brain until it explodes into genius shrapnel. To quote a dear and like-minded friend: "If you wanna sit with me and talk about existence; we'll need more than 15 minutes"

Message from the filmaker:
Zeitgeist was created as a not for profit expression to inspire people to start looking at the world from a more critical perspective and to understand that very often things are not what the population at large think they are. The information in Zeitgeist was established over a year long period of research and the current Source page lists the sources used / referenced.

It's important to point out that there is a tendency to simply disbelieve things that are counter to our understanding, without the necessary research performed. For example, some information contained in Part 1 and Part 3, specifically, is not obtained
by simple keyword searches on the Internet. You have to dig deeper. For instance, very often people who look up "Horus" or "The Federal Reserve" on the Internet draw their conclusions from very general or biased sources. Online encyclopedias or text book Encyclopedias often do not contain the information contained in Zeitgeist. However, if one takes the time to read the sources provided, they will find that what is being presented is based on documented evidence. Any corrections, clarifications & further points regarding the film are found on the Clarifications page.

Downloadable formats are also now available, along with DVDs
by request.

That being said, It is my hope that people will not take what is said in the film as the truth, but find out for themselves, for truth is not told, it is realized.


...and you thought this was going to be about the Smashing Pumpkins...
