I just finished watching the movie zeitgeist, and i have no words to explain how i feel, Zeitgeist is a movie i think everyone in the world should see.

This movie does talk about religion and 9-11 conspiracy and other stuff wich i am pretty sure discussion about that is not allowed on these forums, i dont really care if i get noob slapped for a couple of days, not after watching this movie. ( sorry though )

http://zeitgeistmovie.com/

Before you make a decide to say anything about this movie, watch it, and i'm 100% sure that everyon will find this movie interesting, and i do hope as many people here as posible will watch it...

Saw it, liked the rational approach. Disliked the obvious incentive of the movie 'to prove religion wrong'. Overall, it's a Michael Moore meets an anti-religion society. Has all the facts right, discusses theories but doesn't mention the fact that there are contradicting statistics and stuff.

Overall, disliked it. Especially the religion part. You can't 'prove' religion right or wrong.

I'll shut up before I get a n00bslap.

I don't like Michael Moore that much, i don't know, it may be his annoying voice or his fetish for pissing people off. Then again, at the same time, i somehow admire that in a wierd way. I don't know what to think about him actually.

Zeitgeist...sounds interesting though. Might check it out.

Edit: I like your sig, Lucifer. It's filled with mixed emotions just like my thoughts on Moore, i don't know wether it's a funny or scary sig.

Great movie, thanks for the link. Maybe this'll help me convince my friends of a few things.

The disgusting thing is, nobody is going to do anything about part 2. (Havent watched part 3 yet).

I've seen part 1 and 2 now. Didn't learn anything new from part 2, but a great deal with part 1 was interesting and new to me.

I'll save part 3 for some midnight viewing, sponsored by red bull.

I just finished watching it.

It really blew my mind... A serious eye opener. You're right, every person should watch it, even if they dont accept it, just for another view of things.

Its so right though. Even with videos like this, hell even if Bush straight out admitted to all of this, nothing would change. Yeah there'll be small groups forming every year like there already has been for centuries... but it wont effect anything, we're too far gone under the U.S gov's control. I probably sound like a weird conspiracy case, which is fine, but the fact remains, nothing is gona happen, and we're all going to ignore all of this in the end, and let the gov do what they want.

It brings FUBAR to a whole new level.

I love how people tend to waste several hours of their spare-time each day watching reality-shows about Horus knows what and can't seem to find 2 hours of their life to get more enlightened then they have been the last 2 years put together. When some people hear the word "documentary", they get scared away.

I generally despise people like that, who doesn't even want to know anything except what the latest celebrity has been up to and what sweater she\he might wear. And if it is the wrong colour, it's usually the end of the world....(age)

I'd love to see this documentary used in schools, wow, just think about how wise the next generation would be.

History channel is good if you have an interest in history. Obviously if you have no interest in History, you won't find it interesting...

My brother and I were on one of the documentaries for World War.... 1 I believe . He's an actor and he scored me a job, it was pretty sweet, running through trenches in the full army gear with real guns, they even had me and him running in a main shot down a field towards the camera with pseudo-bombs going off (just sulfur / smoke explosions). $200 a day? Yes please.

That's because its a hypocritical and ironic message. Towards the end of the movie it goes on and on about how watching the media perpetuates this subtle control, and then tells you not to listen. But its a contradiction to itself, because it is the media. Not listening to the media would infer not to listen to that movie, which would lead you back into your normal life.

Lets remember that all media in the US, that means all of the magizines, newspapers, television, radio, etc is owned by only 5 different companies. Talk about being able to "control the message". If I am not mistaken this dvd is an indie project amongst the new wave of "alternative media" that has sprung up around the world over the past, oh I dunno, seven years? I think that was his point.

Yeah, in just these last few years, the alternative media has grown alot exponentially. I think it has something to do with people not trusting the mass media anymore, gee i wonder why. When people catch someone in a lie, they tend not to treat them as a credible source anymore. That's probably why people are looking towards the alternative media nowadays.

Bush tried to tell us that a few years back. "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me".

Source? I find it a little hard to believe as there are thousands of magazines, newspapers, etc.

EDIT:

Hopefully fans of this movie have been looking at it critically--- all three parts have been debunked. Look it up on Google if you'd like. I enjoyed the 3rd part, but it's hard to believe everything if there aren't even proper sources.

I'm sure he meant the majority or the "big names", i too find it hard to believe 5 companies own everything. There's always some backwater place with a local paper noone cares about.

even in soviet back in the time of Lenin, the people always found ways to distribute real news amongs themselfes without the powers that be payed much attention. That was under different circumstances, but the point remains, even in extreme situations, there's always something not controlled by big brother.

yeah, amazing isnt it? pick any magazine or newspaper and trace its company to its parent, then its parent to its parent and so on (this might take some effort and time) and youll find all roads lead to Rome.

btw, how goes the revolt against the North American Union up there in Alberta Canada at the SPP meetings?

I didnt see this the first time:
Quote: "all three parts have been debunked. Look it up on Google if you'd like. "


Part One: no comment

Part Two: Oh really? Please enlighten us to how the laws of physics have been debunked? More precisely, Newtonian Physics, this I have to hear. Please cite sources. Ill make it easy so you only need to answer one question and not have to tackle the whole entire event and all of its anomolies and physical impossibilities: Please explain (and cite sources) how a 110 storey building collapses at the rate of free fall, after having been struck by something it was designed to withstand, stood for 56 minutes thereafter, while being burned in one section (5-10 storeys) by a fuel source that could not attain temperatures hot enough to melt or sufficiently weaken the building structural steel?

Bonus question: How did WTC 7 collapse at the rate of free fall, symmetrically into its own footprint after having been struck by NOTHING except superficial collapse debris from WTC 1, and only having small fires on the 7th and 12th floors?


Part Three: Please explain what about part 3 was debunked?

The laws of physics aren't debunked. But when listening to the 9/11 conspiracy, not all of the laws of physics were used to argue for it. They systematically took pieces of information and construed them to fit into facts outside of the entire event. Under all the circumstances that happened on 9/11 the questions asked become arbitrary, because the answers should lead you to ask different questions.

The rate of free fall? That's not even a measurement. The WTC was not designed to withstand a hit from a 767. Smaller aircraft yes. The fire was not the only thing going on if you didn't notice. A plane hit the corner of the WTC. Causing structural changes to one side of the building. And there was a fire on a bridge not too long ago that caused steel to melt...

Why is debris superficial? You just arbitrarily wrote off something that could have easily caused the building to resonate and collapse on itself. A big enough piece of debris hitting the base of the WTC could have transferred enough energy into the building like an earthquake.

Not sure what you mean.

1.) I was cut off from the world in North Korea until two days ago.
2.) I don't live in Alberta.

As for the 9/11 conspiracy, we've already been through this (not sure when--- maybe a year ago?). Not worth arguing with you, really.

That's actually quite funny. Most of the restaurants and other places were in fact called No. 1, No. 2, etc. But as for department stores--- seeing as there's like two in the whole country, we didn't get to go (being foreigners and all). They have white skin and big nose detectors across the whole city

However, I highly recommend Restaurant No. 1 in the Yanggakdo Hotel where we stayed. Avoid the revolv/ting restaurant on the 47th floor, though. 80% of us got food poisoned

I will have my pictures up on my site in a few days.

Slightly off-topic but, CR isn't looking forward to war with Iran, on the contrary. I don't know him very well, but i sure know he doesn't want that to ever happen.

Your conclusion that he wants to, puzzles me.

I knew Jeku would have nothing of substance to say, no valid replies based in facts or anyhting along those lines, just the usual love-snuggle-fest with Indi. So he'll make sweeping broad statements like "its all been debunked" yet cant say how or by whom, then changes the subject. Classic. Yes Jeku we spoke about this however long ago, and you had no answers then either.

I have respect for Krilik, at least he makes an effort and has done some research, and he sounds like he believes what he says.

If you mean from within the context of this movie, yes it was quick and generalized, but I asked a specific question regarding one aspect of the event. You seem to support the impossible official theories, so thats what I was asking about, but lets explore...

Quote: "The rate of free fall? That's not even a measurement. "

excuse me? the last time I checked, earth's gravity had a rate of acceleration on falling bodies, something like 32 ft per sec / sec (9.8 m/sec/sec). Using that known rate you can calculate how long it will take for something to fall from a given height, unimpeded, to the ground (factoring air resistence/terminal veloc etc). My question was simply how is it possible that the roofline of wtc1 (1368 ft) fell thru the path of most resistance (impeded) yet still made it to the ground in 10 seconds, within a second or two of the rate of free fall (9.2 sec)? Would the mass of the portion of the building below the impact zones not cause ANY resistance? And therefore time delay to reach the ground? You know, like newtonian physics describes? (Same question for wtc 7)

Quote: "The WTC was not designed to withstand a hit from a 767. Smaller aircraft yes. "

The wtc towers were designed to withstand the impacts of multiple Boeing 707's, please go look up the weight, dimensions, and speeds of both planes, you'll find they are nearly identical, and the 767 is only slightly heavier when fully fueled (which these planes were not), and the 767 cant fly as fast as a 707. Either plane type striking the buildings causes the plane to lose 95% of its kinetic energy as they shear thru the perimiter coulmns and begin to explode. Regardless of these facts, one fact remains, the buildings stood after the impacts for 56 minutes and 102 minutes (wtc 2 - wtc 1)

Quote: "The fire was not the only thing going on if you didn't notice. A plane hit the corner of the WTC. Causing structural changes to one side of the building. "

And its the opposite corner of that same building (South Tower WTC 2) where we see molten iron slag spilling out of the building, emitting white whispy smoke/dust, much like the the exothermic reaction caused by Thermate applied to structural steel. But what you describe still doesnt explain how when wtc2 fell, it violated multiple newtonian laws and reached the ground, again, at the rate of free fall. The upper section of that building slumped to the corner you described, tiletd about 30 degrees, while also rotating, then suddenly stopped these movements and plunged straight down, thru the path of most resistance, in a cloud of fine powder, at freefall speed, to the street below.

Quote: "And there was a fire on a bridge not too long ago that caused steel to melt..."

If you are referring to the california gas truck crash that caused an over pass to fall, you are trying to compare apples and oranges, and are probably betting that I am not informed, and have not studied this - unfortunately you will lose that bet if you make it..
The fuel source for that incident was unleaded gasoline, not jet grade kerosine, gasoline burns hotter than jet fuel. The overpass is a set of single steel beams, that are not to the spec of wtc structural steel, they are made of steel that does not have the same fire rating as structural steel for hi rise buildings. The construction of roadway overpasses employs expansion joints so in the event of a collision, or an earthquake the section of roadway in question (if it fails) will fail by itself and not pull down the entire elevated roadway. The overpass sat in heat it wasnt designed to, it sagged, opened the expansion joints too far, and fell onto the road below (and I bet it was at the rate of free fall) To compare the construction of a california overpass to the construction of the wtc is not feasible. To compare the fuel sources is not feasible. To compare the collapse mechanics is not feasible.

Quote: "Why is debris superficial? You just arbitrarily wrote off something that could have easily caused the building to resonate and collapse on itself. A big enough piece of debris hitting the base of the WTC could have transferred enough energy into the building like an earthquake."

Because I have researched these issues for the past 2.5 years and video and photographic and physics evidence proves my claims. The NIST photo that claims to be showing a portion of wtc7 being damaged has been proven to be an inverted photo of part of the Deutsche Bank building (a completely different building). The claim that "25% of the south east corner was scooped out" has been proven to also be false. The NIST final report on why building 7 collapsed was promised to be released in 2005, its now August 2007. NIST commissioned UL to do scale fire models of the wtc towers and were only able to reproduce 3" on center sag of floor trusses, using hotter controlled fires and unprotected steel, while on 9/11 they claim the floor trusses sagged 34" on center using cooler random open air office fires - they could only get the towers to fall in closed black box computer models. But back to wtc 7, NIST now has delayed the report again and are now considering "explosives" as a possibility. I guess we'll see the report when we see it. But, I digress, the question I have, is why did wtc7 fall straight down, into its footprint in 6.5 seconds (free fall based on its height) not damaging the Verizon building on one side, and the US Post Office building on its other side. If the damage to the south east corner is accurate then why did it not fall in the direction of the damage, and why did it wait 8 hours to fall in the first place? This earthquake force you describe, caused by the wtc1 collapse, happened at 10:28 am - what time did wtc 7 collapse? It collapsed at 5:20 pm. Was this some special delayed reaction earthquake? Why did the BBC, and CNN both report the collpase of WTC 7 BEFORE it happened?

Oh my..I feel a storm coming..so many opinions about this issue makes it very hot. We can still talk about this like gentleman and ladies can we not? Let us be civil in our discussion..I'm sure it was an emotional day for all of us.

I don't know, but I still believe the 'official' 9/11 reports.

Am I just naïve, or is it that I cannot believe people could do something so sick to their own country? Where the terrorists not from Al-Qaida, as confirmed by Bin Laden? Why would Bin Laden take the blame for such things?

That's the last thing I'll say in this topic.

Bin Laden aka Tim Osman is a credible source of information now?

I've never seen him take blame for 9/11, and FBI haven't charged him for any involvement in 9/11. He is the perfect scapegoat though.
