Title: You are been lied to!!!!!
Post by: Monster Dave on February 20, 2010, 10:11:45 PM
For those that are interested.

Watch this documentry on how we live in a world based all upon lies and manipulation from the powers that be. From Christianity to the so called 9/11 'attacks' to the Fedral Reserve bank and how it all boils down to controlling the masses and making money.

Watch this link if if you have a spare 2hrs. Well worth it if you like this type of info to fuel a hatred for the type of world we now live in.

the 2nd movie Zeitgeist:Addendum(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeitgeist,_the_Movie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeitgeist,_the_Movie)) , is even more full of bullshit disguised as hard fact and ends up with it being a elongated adevtisment for a hippie convention.

So??
We don?t live in a world where banks control our money.
There?s no current war going on for profit or ever has been.
And, best of all, Jesus Christ was the Son of God and died for all our sins??.

Phew, thought I was in a bad dream there. Yup the film is full of shit, with no valid points or arguments worth mentioning. What was I thinking?
C'mon,

Never said "hate the world". But, the "type" of world we live in, meaning the way Western society is heading we wont last long on this planet. If we dont change our greedy capatilistic ways then we will probaly consume ourselves. 'Life needed', absolutelty. If you watched it before commenting you might have realised thats exactly what they are trying to do.


WarNick - Qe? ;D


DamoESP -  :hmm:

Please explain why its full of shit? I don't think the movie is asking you to blindly follow what its saying, merely trying to open peoples eyes to a world they might not yet have considered before. What obvious lies are there?

I don't know why I'm bothering but it's full shit because:

1. It's retarded.
2. All of the interviews are out of context
3. All of the connections they make between everything are complete bullshit leaps of faith.
4. From the point of view of someone who has multimedia experience all of the voices of people being interviewed have been doctored and cut up to say things they never said. You can here where's it's been cut and it's generally when they put up one of their 'trippy' graphics to distract you.

If you believe anything they say in this movie you are a moron. Whoever made it knows it's bullshit they just made it to con morons like you.

Banks were created to manage and create money? News to me! :o

Federal reserve banks are a good thing because they work independently of the government. Where do you reckon the government gets most of it's play money? Isn't from taxation. Taxation is one of the many revenue streams a government has to pay off it's debt to the Reserve bank. Honestly I prefer a nationalised bank controlling the money in our country than a group of Politicians that change every 4 years.


War is and always has been for profit, at least from it's outset intention by the aggressor force. It was only way back in the dawn of civilisation that battle was for ritualistic purposes (where they used to call it a day if someone actually got seriously injured or killed). Ever since people started growing crops instead of hunting, people or area X had better living conditions than people of area Y. That's where the step between protecting your borders with a show of strength turns into attacking and invading someone elses land for your gain happens. Even still for most of human history battles were decided by displays of force and dominance, not necessarily annihilating the opposing army.

The big problem comes from a fairly modern leap of teaching people how to fight to teaching people how to kill.
(A bit of an elaboration on this point: The gap between the two was discovered by some Major who's name escapes me after WW2, the first large-scale war where men weren't fighting shoulder to shoulder. Because they didn't have the constant peer-pressure to fight if your fellow soliders weren't right next to you, most of them didn't because, like normal people, they didn't want to kill another human being. Long story short, training of recurits changed their focus on teaching how to fight to teaching how to kill a short time after WW2).
Because we're now able to kill a shitload of people with very little effort thanks to technology and conditional training, that's a problem that human civilisation hasn't come across before. This is the problem that I have with modern war, not because we're doing it for a profit.


Not even going to touch the one about Jesus. I'm agnostic and I'll leave it at that.

Do you mean they made the movie to make money? I don't think that's the case, considering how anti-capital the movie is and you don't have to pay to watch it!!
I was given a free copy of the DVD some months ago and watched it.... anone who says that every single point they make is false probably wasn't paying attention or is just sadly ignorant about the world as it is today! It's definately food for thought....

Unfortunately it isn't unbiased food for thought. Just more biased opinion & links.

Humans are what they are ANIMALS. We try to make out that we are SO Far evolved but we are only fooling ourselves.
Humanity will only get any better once people can see this for themselves. Most of us just try to deny what we are.
We eat we shit we breathe we fuck, we are selfish & do whatever we need to survive the way we are comfortable. Whether it be by beating another being senseless face to face with aggression, or staying in a group using compassion & sheer numbers to protect & defend.
Survival is the key for all living creatures.

I don't need to watch a second of that movie to know that we're being lied to.

However, it serves no purpose to care about these things. You can't do anything about them anyway. Short of destroying everything we're all indoctrinated to follow and believe, and it's too late for that.

Politics, religion, morals, values, ethics, all societal structures, economics and hundreds of other things that ironically are meant to simplify life but instead complicate it, are here to stay.

In short...

Embrace apathy.

fasten together rods of iron in order to heat or weld them
fagot: offensive term for an openly homosexual man

No, I agree with you... I think you may have missed the point of my sarcastic reply to the disagreement to Nihilist's post. Most of us are apathetic. We recycle, we buy "safe tuna" and we nod disapprovingly to war.... But we don't do much about ANYTHING.
I'm apathetic. I don't give a shit, and never really have done.... I think the human race is destined to fail through stupidity, consuming resources and destroying the planet and each other. Soon, hopefully (well, not the planet of course!).

Ironically, the point of the documentary originally being discussed IS ALL ABOUT CHANGING THE WORLD. But like Nihilist has already mentioned, most of the things that are causing the problems are here to stay, so we can only sit back and watch as humanity crumbles into a massive third-world disaster. How's that for some apathy for ya!?  :D

Interesting tidbit for the day: The original term "faggot" in a derogitory reference to homosexuals derived from when they were burned them alive at the stake using, you guessed it, a bundle of sticks and branches :)

Also, I'm now going to use this definition -bind or tie up in or as if in a faggot; "faggot up the sticks"- as much as I can

The literal term I referred to was the bundle of sticks one. It was commonly used until not that long ago. Ever read Lord of the Rings? It's hilarious how many times it says fagot in that book. Don't know where the fuck those other definitions came from?

Exactly,

But what got me, was the fact all that all the subject matter they went through, albeit, some a little sketchy, was to get to the point of: if the goverments and institutions we put in power are prepared to go to those lengths to do their will, then whats to stop them putting those little chips in each and every one of us? Verichips I think they were called. Used to store vital medical data for patients at the moment, but in the wrong hands, whamo, instant information about everyone, anytime anywhere for the use of........well, anything. Ultimate control.

Some will love the fact they can buy thier food, shoes and anything else without using much effort. But, for me, FUCK THAT. I'd go down fighting that one.
