There is a tendency to simply disbelieve things that are counter to our understanding, without having performed personal, direct research into the topic.

Zeitgeist is a full-length, independently produced movie documentary, created as a not-for-profit expression to inspire people to start looking at the world from a more critical perspective and to understand that very often things are not what the population at large think they are.

"For instance, very often people who look up on the Internet hot issues like the legality of taxes, the Federal Reserve, or the huge medical scandals uncovered in recent times, draw their conclusions from a very general set of poor, intentionally misleading and / or fully biased sources.

Online encyclopedias or official academic textbooks often do not report, expose or even reference much of the counter-information that is contained inside this movie. Nonetheless, if you do take
the time to check the movie sources provided here, you will find that what is being presented is based on well researched and documented evidence.

That being said, it is the hope of the movie author(s) that you will not take what is said in this film as the truth, but that you will find out for yourself...

for truth is not told, it is realized."

Go find your own truth. Here are some good starting points :

(duration 1:56')

"The most incredible aspect of all: these totalitarian elements will not be forced upon the people. The people will demand them. For the social manipulation of society through fear has completely detached humans from their sense of power and reality; a process which has been going on for centuries if not millennia."

"The men behind the curtain know this and they also know that if people ever realize the truth of their relationship to nature and the truth of their personal power the entire manufactured zeitgeist they prey upon would collapse like a house of cards."

The information in Zeitgeist was established over a year long period of research and the current Source page on the official Zeitgist site lists all of the actual sources used / referenced in this unique, alternative movie. (In the near future, an interactive transcript will be online with detailed footnotes and links.)

As an example, some of the information contained in Part 1 and Part 3 of the movie, is not easily found
by using simple keyword searches on major web search engines like Google. You have to dig deeper.
