Zeitgeist Addendum

A few months ago, my friend Proposition.K introduced me to Zeitgeist, a film that takes on the issues of religion, American monetary policy, and how governments use terrorism to keep the population in line. All of the evidence presented in the film is available in a number of other places, but the authors do a nice job of giving the information context. After watching it a few times, I passed the film along to friends and relatives who passed it on again. If you have not seen it, I recommend you do so soon. It is an eye-opening experience, and functions as a good frame of reference to the American political system in an election year.

This week Zeitgeist Addendum was released. I have made the video available here, though you can also get it through their website. If you have not seen the first film, please watch it before continuing to the addendum. While the addendum could theoretically be watched as a standalone production, it offers a much stronger case when you have all of the background information presented in the original. For those who have seen the first, the key difference between it and the addendum is the authors have attempted to offer solutions this time around. I don’t know that they are plausible, but it is nice to see the effort put into them. Full reviews of both films will be posted prior to Election Day.
