[edit] Film Content
A still from the introduction
The film starts with a speech by Chögyam Trungpa about spirituality, followed by a series of musically synchronized clips of war and explosions culminating with one of the towers of World Trade Center collapsing during 9/11. Then there follows a sequence of clips showing the horrors of war. There is a short clip that shows a hand writing "1 + 1 = 2", but is brushed away by another hand before the first finishes, and is replaced by a bible and an American flag. After a few more war clips, the film then quotes Jordan Maxwell's Inner World of the Occult, criticizing religious institutions, governments, and the banking cartels who "have misled [the people] away from the true and divine presence in the universe." This portion ends with more images accompanied by audio of a portion of a George Carlin monologue on religion.
@hussle22 They have been told that it is all just some mad conspiracy theorist bullshit and that the only real thing is Gaga. So, consequently they keep giving high thumbs up whenever their government decide to go to war to implement democracy in other countries they have never heard of. Then, their army withdraw like it always do leaving a big mess behind but you guess what?, they still don't realise that their sons and daughters died in order to enrich god knows who... Sad

No CNN and MSNBC are showing their true colors now. The new guys at FOX are the good guys...for now. Watch Glenn Beck, John Stossel, and Judge Napolitano.

No I was just implying that Fox News sucks and broadcasts shitty news, and I found it funny how the guys behind Zeitgeist were cherry picking and decided to put in several clips from the channel. Fox News is the good guys? I thought CNN is traditionally the "good guys", more accurate counterpart of Fox News? Hmm I don't know. All tv news is junk in my opinion lol.

Yeah even this movie has its biases. But it's weird how Fox used to be evil, now they're the good guys and CNN is the Communist News Network. Controlled opposition, pure and simple.
