What do Christianity, 911 and The Federal Reserve all have in common?
This is a two hour long film, so I don’t expect too many to watch it. But in light of the economic events of the past few days, and the decades (centuries?) of buildup to them, if you haven’t seen this film it’s definitely worth your time.
“Zeitgeist is originally a German expression that means ‘the mind of the age’, literally translated as ‘time (Zeit) mind (Geist)’. It denotes the intellectual and cultural climate of an era.” —wikipedia
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Address to the American Newspaper Publishers, 27 April 1961
The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.
…
For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence — on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations.Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.

… government secrecy but not citizen’s privacy. It is obscene.
I think of Hurrican Ike … folks still suffering so badly in Galveston, Houston, we don’t even know what happened at Guantanamo, and why? Why use so many resources to hide what happened instead of using those resources to make things better?
Secrecy is now the default setting of our federal government and exploitation of our privacy as well.
