Has anyone had chance to check out the claims in this film?

I'm not especially interested in the 9-11 conspiracy aspect of this film and I have seen little discussion of the film's content and the article on Wikipedia is being listed for deletion.

I would love to see an article breaking down the claims made in the movie and either providing references for them or debunking them.

I'm not certain if all details are correct in this movie. I do know that the Jesus story is very similar to the other figures listed. I'm just not certain about the astrological portion. It was very interesting nonetheless.

I watched it the other night. It's rather long
and I'm still not sure what to think. The first part is much like The God Who
Wasn't There then the second part is the conspiracy theory about our own
government responsible for 9/11. The third part takes that paranoia another
step with the Federal Reserve and the Word bank and it's intent on a world
Government. It's very convincing, but then so is the documentary about the
staging of the moon landing. I'd like to see a critical analysis of this one.

Is it possible that a small cadre of families can push for and run a one government world? Consider China. 6 guys run it.

I've seen Zeitgeist before, found it interesting.

It is but your gonna need to kill a lot of people first. Like China you'd need a revolution to get er' done.

Personally if I were to over throw the world....I'd start with resource and populace rich countries. Assassinate their leaders, under the guise of terrorism or national instability. Wait till the country falls into chaos then step in, in the name of balance and freedom, and declare the country a satellite state under the safe and watchful eye of big brother. After that it's mostly about making the other small nations fall in line.....

....I've had some time to think about this while getting stoned. :painkiller:

Nah! Get the populace stoned, fluoridate the water to ensure docility and establish past practice of medicating the populace, control the media, make 'em think there vote means something, tax the piss out of 'em, allow inflation of money supply thus hiding the tax increases, make government the answer to social problems, dumb down the public schools, control the media, tax income not spending, hire bureaucrats to ensure that those on the dole stay on the dole, establish a global governing body, generate a crisis that demands a global response, take the guns from the populace, keep the economy running, put shill leaders in power in the democracies, find excuse to keep military spending high, take away the value of the money, in the U.S. seek a Constitutional convention to change the constitution, establish a non-electable body to print money after taking away any intrinsic value, do away with warehouse receipt concept of money, establish an electronic voting system, require all representatives legislate for the world, corrupt the politicians ensuring compliance, remind them who is boss once in a while, .................

Treason never prospers. What's the reason? If it did none would dare call it treason.

If anyone is interested, there are interviews with the guy that created the movie on YouTube. Here's the first one.
