ZEITGEIST

According to this video, Zeitgeist (Addendum), the money system based debt and interest is the fundamental problem of humanity.

Money creates power for the few while it inhibits human growth while causing wars and environmental destruction. We live in a world of scarcity whereas we could live in a world of abundance, including energy abundance.

How accurate the operation of the reserve bank system and creation of money with debt is, I cannot say. The analysis in the video makes perfectly understandable the operation of the US political system, and the creation of perpetual war. War is so profitable that the smart thing to do is back both sides. Despite what the military might thing, war is not about winning. It is about profit. The longer they run, the more profitable they are.

The big problem is that others see how successful the scheme is and start copying the idea. I notice that in Tehran the demonstrators are now being called terrorists. Isn't imitation wonderful?

Wikipedia has a review of this film and of the earlier version.

There is as well a Zeitgeist Movement with a website explaining the philosophy.

We are always stuck in our paradigms and similtaneously threatened or made uncertain by alternative views. One thing is clear the world is not only working for most people, but we are headed for environmental disaster. What are the alternatives?
