Thanks for posting this.

I have only watched a few of these and now I'm interested in seeing all of them.

I would add this one that I posted a very long time ago but no one gave a crap about....

www.abovetopsecret.com

thanks for the list, I'll have to take some time to review them but then I will give my opinions on the ones I watch. thanks.

I just got done watching Invisible Empire, even tho the producer of it Alex Jones is a lil out there... I found it pretty interesting and it covered a wide range of topics.

I usually ask what causes deformation of political systems, what brings them down msot of all throughout history, and one thing that seems primary to me it seems a "size theory". When one looks around the planet and sees populations grow one notices that your freedom becomes smaller the larger the size of population on the planet, take China, probably one of the least free on the planet, also happen to have the highest population. If one scans places of rampant population growth one can find major suffering, smaller populations mean more personal control over one's reality.



Setting aside conspiracies as secondary causes, one can realize they take shape as a result of growth doubling, forget about the idea that population control means sterility for most, what it means for all alive maybe more freedom, at least freedom from food insecurity, or wars, disaster, technological malfunction, etc. If our systems of electricty were to simply be shut down many billions would die, we are totally dependent on using up resources as fast as possible as long as we continue to grow.

More people means ALL OF US GET LESS FREEDOM, to me that means that jsut let loose humans will overrun one another and eventually war or starve each other over competition for resources, no central authority needed for resources to become scarce, many tragedies occur as a result of competition, collusion at the top means simply SURVIVAL, they aggregate and accumulate so much as to preserve their DNA survival and to hell with the rest of the world...if wars don't kill us, then disease or starvation will, no effort by those at the top maybe needed, all they have to do will be to let populations double and sit back and watch the show.

Now if one wants to avoid all of this one gets called a eugenecist or NWO hate monger. But if one were to simply study history one can see the results of advancement of technology and the expansion and then eventual contraction of this massive population. Each new science and technology perpetuates more suffering as more survive and reproduce, extending and exploding the sizes of the people that need to eat.

The grand conspiracy seems to me to center on the "size conspiracy" by which governments need excessive sizes of population in order to amass power to protect those that are threatened by the SURVIVAL SECURITY issues created. So the government takes more freedom away in order further decrease the size of our share of what maybe at stake.

Given the population of just the US and the amount of Senators one can say that it means 307,006,550 total population represented by 100 senators means each senator comes to represent the freedoms of 3,070,065 individuals. To me that seems far more repressive than the original founding of the US, and worst of all most distancing of power relations...in reality 1 person could never be capable of representing 3 million distinct individuals, so one has to ask why have we grown so large but still remained in a mindset that cannot withstand these obvious changes.

Thanks for telling us about Kymatica

Just started watching

Man, I need to git bizzy! great thread.

Great thread and list...

As listed above, I highly recommend Kymatica and Esoteric Agenda..

Also, don't forget that there are two Zeitgeist movies.. both of which are essential as "red pills" for those who seek truth about the world around them. After you watch the first Zeitgeist, be sure and check out Zeitgeist: Addendum. Zeitgeist 3 comes out in October!

Be careful mentioning zeitgeist around here, you will be labeled as a communist or a NWO propagandist

Zeitgeist has it's place/merit.

It kinda dropped the ball on some of the religion portion, but the 9/11 and financial sections were pretty well done.

reply to post by Pan7her


Agreed.. But, that's no skin off my back!

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of people who frequent this site and can't wait to label somebody as a "conspiracy theorist"! Is that not what this site promotes? Is that not why it exists? Or the ones who can't wait to trash somebodies thread with "mainstream" answers.. It's sad..

That being said, I feel that independent films offer a much different view to the reality around us.. And encourages sheeple to try thinking for themselves instead of letting somebody think for them! Unfortunately, as mentioned above, lots of folks on here still beg for people to think for them as they wait for certain members to fly in and save the day with googled, regurgitated, canned answers .. Baffling indeed!

i completely agree.
if it had completely left out all the religious aspects of the first zeitgeist, i think it would have had a far bigger impact than it did, but to alienate half the world because they believe in their faith was a big mistake on their behalf.

Thats why i feel that Zeitgeist addendum did not touch on religion, maybe Peter Joseph learned his lesson, unfortuneately the damage is done and i think he did a great dis service to Jaque Fresco and his work.

that said...
His criticism on a capitlist society is bang on the money imho, and of course Jaques work on a resource based economy is incredible although maybe way ahead of its time.

I almost feel that the zeitgeist religious part ruined it for the movement, and feel maybe that some of the ideas from it should be taken in a new direction with a different angle, leadership and branding.

Awesome list of docos
this will keep me busy for a week

thanks so much

I think Zeitgeist had every right to touch upon Religion. It is hard to look into the truth of religion being man made attempts to explain the universe.Sometimes it is hard to take in the truth but it is needed. Religion HAS good aspects to it. The sad fact remains though that religion is a powerful tool to divide and conquer the masses. Group think promoted instead of independent thinking. We need as a society to start being reliant on ourselves as best as possible and looking for truth that we research and that resonated with us.If we can try to spread more alternatives to group think and try to rely less on TPTB we can create some positive change.
