Readers of this blog know that I have railed against the abusive uses of money to control our politics and society, and railed against the absurdities of religion, plus the seemingly unexplainable rejection of science by many in our culture.
What I didn’t know is that they are all connected.
There is a movie that shows this in great detail. It is called Zeitgeist: Addendum. I just finished viewing it on Netflix, so I assume it is available from other suppliers as well. There are three Zeitgeist movies, I have seen the first two now. (For you non-German scholars, zeitgeist translates roughly into “spirit of the times” (literally it means “time ghost/spirit”).)
I strongly recommend you view this movie. If you do not accept the second half of this movie, please do not reject the first half as I recognized all of the evidence they provide as being truthful, that our foreign policy is a corporate policy, that money enslaves people, that money itself creates inequality, etc.
You can also get more information at www.thezeitgeistmovement.com.
I am going to go view the third movie.
From what i’ve seen it’s powerful stuff. I began watching one a few months ago then saw a butterfly, or something, and ran off…. With your endorsement i’ll now dedicate some time to it.

*Zeitgeist: The Movie* is mostly about religious issues, so I recommend that one to you also. Let me know what you think.
