On YouTube you can find the full version of the movie Zeitgeist, but it is disabled and cannot be viewed. However, it is possible to watch the movie in 13 segments, most of them slightly over 9 minutes.
It sounds overwhelming, but a person could watch just one or two a day. It is well worth the time.
Zeitgeist is unique, in that it draws on both sides of the political spectrum in order to reach its conclusions and covers a broad variety of topics: religion, the idea of a central bank and national economy, the so-called Federal Reserve, why Income Taxes are illegal, discussions of 9/11 and its aftermath, the union of the U.S., Mexico and Canada, One World Order...it's a thorough documentary, and connects the dots that so many see yet cannot juxtapose because the dots are not always overt.
The movie does discuss comparative religion, because that is part of the movie's underlying premise; I would hope that easily-offended Christians would watch the discussion despite their sensitivity, as it is only a portion of a great deal of information.
I thought it might be interesting to see how C-D posters related to this film; it would be nice if people would watch a segment, then come here to
post their impressions, viewpoints, etc. (credits are cited in part 13).

I dont agree with everything showing in the movie...I mean not everything seems logical.
But I do remember after 9/11 there were several reports that the US government was well informed after attacks. Then, how come there were no military airplanes trying to take the planes down? That is something that bothers me. There was plenty of time.
The other thing that bothers me, the US government now admits that there is no proof that Bin Laden was somehow responsible for 9/11. Then why is there allegedly a video of him telling it was him? Or do I remember that incorrectly?

Zeitgeist IMO is correct, when it states that our rights are being taken from us and that war is always lucratice for some people.
Also, it is pretty obvious that the "War on Terror" can never be won and will never end. Just look at Spain, it has been fighting terror for many decades. Will that ever stop? I dont think so.
Also, the government wants people to be afraid to that they basically can do whatever they want.
They want people to live in constant fear. Fear makes people vulnerable.
