Zeitgeist

Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, September 9, 10 and 11
Admission:
FREE, $10 minimum
Showtime:
8pm

This film is brilliant entertainment...
It presents a berserk alternate history of civilization...
Christ, Buddha, 9/11, the Age of Aquarius the Federal Reserve...
Everything is linked!


HALF of what's being said may be true and the other HALF is lunacy.
Many people would argue over what belongs to what HALF.

And you can always count on a One Global Government scare when filmmakers -- strangely or protectively anonymous -- quote Lyndon Larouche.

But here's the greatest thing: it's really very well-produced! It takes its time. It has great editing and a great soundtrack. AND. You can watch the whole thing online, but we bought the DVD and it looks and sounds amazing on 4 screens with 6 speakers and a subwoofer.

Grand, global epoch-sweeping conspiracies have never looked so seductive.

Take a peak:

We eventually hope to present a live Lincoln-Douglas debate on the parallel histories presented in Zeitgeist and whose history makes most sense and whose is most entertaining.

AND THEN...
I began to receive some emails from the filmmaker (Peter) and a supporter of the filmmaker (referring to herself as "S"). Here is the transcript of their emails and my two responses in red italics...

Hi there,
So, you say half of it is lunacy? I challenge you to
prove ANY of it wrong. It's basic history. That place
must be a full house of delusionals... hey guess what!
Iraq is about spreading democracy! 9/11 was an attack
on us by Arabs! Christ is real and he's coming back!

Jackasses.

Thanks for showing the film.... though I can tell you right now I made this film in total seriousness and though aspects of the film can be debated, it is far from "half true". It is based on solid sources.

thanks
Peter

lyndon larouche. seriously!? read more about lyndon the next time you get into discussions of One Global Government. again. it's not actually one-for-one, but when you try to draw a master narrative about history, all your convincing insights lose their power amidst your specious ones.

and then i would recommend reading Don DeLillo and Michel Foucault for some more nuanced accounts of how Power is asserted in the world. it's much less organized than you seem to be asserting. Power does lots of devilish things, but for every Murdoch, there is a Hearst/Citizen Kane. Power isn't that smart, even at Google.

Larouche as a person is not of interest.

His comment about Iraq however, was spot on. The work does not advocate anyone.

As far as your comments about the power elite and the authors you prescribe, you can maintain whatever opinion you like. I have been studying these issues for 7+ years very intently and seriously, and I feel the disposition presented is honest.

But, none of this matters...

The bottom line is you are encouraging people from the beginning to assume they are walking into some "half truth entertainment film" which orients people to be biased from the start. I don't respect that.

If you choose to continue to show Zeitgeist "free" yet make money off of the 10 $ minimum, I suggest you give the description a non biased basis, or pull it from your calender.

I would hope you would respect myself enough as the person who spent 9 months making the work, with private money as budget and with virtually no return... to be decent enough not to make a judgment statement of the content that will influence peoples initial disposition.

That's all I ask.
You're choice.

- and I will be content.

It is far too gratuitous, unjustified & biased.

.....and perhaps some time in the future I can come down and debate the issues in a public forum. 'Lincoln-Douglas' as you say. But that will be a while as I am going out of town for an extended period immediately after participation in the protests at ground zero.

You need to change the description - or pull the
program. You are making money off of something that
isn't yours to make money off of. The least you can do
is give it s proper description, I would recommend
copying the description from the "statement" page of
the film's site.

Change the description or pull the program. You can
have all the personal problems with the film you want
- you are the subject of the film itself.

I highly recommend you take the time to listen to some
of the interviews with the creator of this film.
Sadly, the only lunacy is within yourself and your
inability to recognize reality.

PS - Change the description or cancel the show.

"Prosecutors said the suspects — two German converts
and a Turkish citizen sharing a "profound hatred of
U.S. citizens" — had military-style detonators..."

That's becasue hte military gave it to them. Then it
goes on to admit:

" As a token of the intense surveillance by German
police, prosecutors said that during the investigation
they were able to replace the dangerous peroxide in
the containers with a harmless solution without the
knowledge of the suspects."

Pffffffffffft!

You are a sucker. Total sucker. The contents of
Zeitgeist are all real.... it's truely sad to see such
lack of realty among my fellow man.

- Redo the decription or cancel the shows.
