money as dept



Paul Grignon's 47-minute animated presentation of "Money as Debt" tells in very simple and effective graphic terms what money is and how it is being created. It is an entertaining way to get the message out. The Cowichan Citizens Coalition and its "Duncan Initiative" received high praise from those who previewed it. I recommend it as a painless but hard-hitting educational tool and encourage the widest distribution and use by all groups concerned with the present unsustainable monetary system in Canada and the United States.

ZEITGEIST

The Zeitgeist Movement is not a political movement. It does not recognize nations, governments, races, religions, creeds or class. Our understandings conclude that these are false, outdated distinctions which are far from positive factors for true collective human growth and potential. Their basis is in power division and stratification, not unity and equality, which is our goal. While it is important to understand that everything in life is a natural progression, we must also acknowledge the reality that the human species has the ability to drastically slow and paralyze progress, through social structures which are out of date, dogmatic, and hence out of line with nature itself. The world you see today, full of war, corruption, elitism, pollution, poverty, epidemic disease, human rights abuses, inequality and crime is the result of this paralysis.
This movement is about awareness, in avocation of a fluid evolutionary progress, both personal, social, technological and spiritual. It recognizes that the human species is on a natural path for unification, derived from a communal acknowledgment of fundamental and near empirical understandings of how nature works and how we as humans fit into/are a part of this universal unfolding we call life. While this path does exist, it is unfortunately hindered and not recognized by the great majority of humans, who continue to perpetuate outdated and hence degenerative modes of conduct and association. It is this intellectual irrelevancy which the Zeitgeist Movement hopes to overcome through education and social action.
The goal is to revise our world society in accord with present day knowledge on all levels, not only creating awareness of social and technological possibilities many have been conditioned to think impossible or against "human nature", but also to provide a means to overcome those elements in society which perpetuate these outdated systems.
An important association, upon which many of the ideas of this movement are derived come from an organization called " The Venus Project" directed by social engineer and industrial designer, Jacque Fresco. He has worked nearly his entire life to create the tools needed to assist a design of the world which could eventually eradicate war, poverty, crime, social stratification and corruption. His notions are not radical or complex. They do not impose a subjective interpretation in their formation. In this model, society is created as a mirror of nature, with the variables predefined, inherently.
The movement itself is not a centralized construct.
We are not here to lead, but to organize and educate.


Το Κίνημα Zeitgeist δεν είναι ένα πολιτικό κίνημα. Δεν αναγνωρίζει κράτη, κυβερνήσεις, φυλές, θρησκείες ή τάξεις. Η κατανόηση μας δείχνει, ότι αυτές είναι ψευδείς, ξεπερασμένες διακρίσεις, που απέχουν πολύ από θετικούς παράγοντες για την πραγματική συλλογική ανθρώπινη ανάπτυξη και δυναμικό. Βάση των παραπάνω είναι η εξουσία, η διαίρεση και η διαστρωμάτωση, δεν είναι η ενότητα και η ισότητα, που είναι ο στόχος μας.
Έχουμε την πρόθεση να αποκαταστήσουμε τις θεμελιώδεις ανάγκες και την περιβαλλοντική ευαισθητοποίηση μέσω της προώθησης των πιο σύγχρονων αντιλήψεων σχετικά με το ποιοι και τι πραγματικά είμαστε, σε συνδυασμό με το πώς η επιστήμη, η φύση και η τεχνολογία (και όχι η θρησκεία, η πολιτική και το χρήμα) κρατούν τα κλειδιά της προσωπικής μας ανάπτυξης, όχι μόνο ως μεμονωμένα ανθρώπινα όντα, αλλά ως πολιτισμός, τόσο δομικά όσο και πνευματικά.

Ο στόχος είναι να αναθεωρήθει η κοινωνία του κόσμου μας σε όλα τα επίπεδα σύμφωνα με τις γνώσεις του σήμερα. Όχι μόνο για να ευαισθητοποιήσει σχετικά με τις κοινωνικές και τεχνολογικές δυνατότητες, που πολλοί έχουν εκπαιδευτεί να θεωρούν ως αδύνατες ή ενάντια στην "ανθρώπινη φύση", αλλά και για να προωθήσει τα μέσα για την υπέρβαση αυτών των στοιχείων της κοινωνίας που διαιωνίζουν τέτοια παρωχημένα συστήματα.

Η κατανόηση του ότι είμαστε συμβιωτικά όντα και ότι ζούμε σε ένα συμβιωτικό σύμπαν θα πρέπει να έχει σημαντικό αντίκτυπο στον τρόπο που σκεφτόμαστε και ενεργούμε προς τα πάντα και προς όλους.

Unser taglich brot, ο άρτος ημών ο επιούσιος, günlük ekmek, our daily bread

Καλωσορίσατε στον κόσμο της βιομηχανίας παραγωγής τροφίμων και της καλλιέργειας υψηλής τεχνολογίας! Στο ρυθμό των μεταφορικών ταινιών και των απέραντων μηχανών, η ταινία παρουσιάζει με εξαιρετική αισθητική και χωρίς σχόλια τα μέρη που παράγονται τα τρόφιμα στην Ευρώπη: αχανείς χώροι, σουρεαλιστικά τοπία και παράξενοι ήχοι - ένα ψυχρό βιομηχανικό περιβάλλον που αφήνει ελάχιστο χώρο στον ανθρώπινο παράγοντα. Οι εργαζόμενοι, τα ζώα, η συγκομιδή και οι μηχανές, έχουν δευτερεύοντα ρόλο στις διοικητικές μέριμνες αυτού του συστήματος που παρέχει το βιοτικό επίπεδο της κοινωνίας μας.
Με ακρίβεια χειρούργου, σε έναν κόσμο σιωπής ο δημιουργός αυτού του βραβευμένου ντοκιμαντέρ παρουσιάζει σε μιάμιση ώρα όλο τον παραλογισμό της βιομηχανίας παραγωγής πρώτων υλών για τη διατροφή μας. Μια τοιχογραφία σε μεγάλη οθόνη της διαδικασίας προετοιμασίας, τυποποίησης και κατανάλωσης των τροφίμων και στην οποία με κάποιο τρόπο συμμετέχουμε όλοι. Μια άμεση, λεπτομερής και προηγμένη φιλμική εμπειρία που επιτρέπει στο θεατή να διαμορφώσει τις δικές του απόψεις. Πολλοί θα σοκαριστούν από τις εικόνες στα εκτροφεία πουλερικών ή της αναπαραγωγής των βοοειδών αλλά ίσως το σοκ αυτό να αποτελέσει και την έναρξη της αφύπνισης του καθενός μας για την προέλευση των τροφών που καταναλώνουμε καθημερινά.

Διάρκεια: 92’

Welcome to the world of industrial food production and high-tech farming! To the rhythm of conveyor belts and immense machines, the film looks without commenting into the places where food is produced in Europe: monumental spaces, surreal landscapes and bizarre sounds - a cool, industrial environment which leaves little space for individualism. People, animals, crops and machines play a supporting role in the logistics of this system which provides our society’s standard of living.

Esoteric Agenda

There is an Esoteric Agenda behind every facet of life that was once believed to be disconnected. There is an Elite faction guiding most every Political, Economic, Social, Corporate, some Non-Governmental or even Anti-Establishment Organizations. This film uses the hard work and research of professionals in every field helping to expose this agenda put the future of this planet back into the hands of the people.


MUHAMMAD LEGACY OF A PROPHET

This is the story of the man who changed the world in 23 years and continues to influence it today. His father died before he was born, and his mother died when he was only six. Sheltered by a powerful uncle, he made a good start in life, established himself in a profitable business and married well. Then, at the age of 40, he was transformed. A man who could not read or write, he announced that he was the prophet of God. His name was Muhammad, and in the next 23 years he would bring peace to the warring pagan tribes of Arabia and establish the religion of Islam, which today has 1.2 billion followers.
Three years in the making, "Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet," travels in the footsteps of the prophet to the Arabian desert and the holy city of Mecca where much of Muhammad's story unfolded. But the film does not just stay in the past. Much of it's story is told through the observations of contemporary American Muslims, including a fireman at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 a second generation Arab-American family building a community based on Islamic principles, a Congressional Chief of Staff working for justice, and a refugee fleeing religious persecution, whose experiences in some way echo Muhammad's life. With some of the world's greatest scholars on Islam providing historical context and critical perspective, "Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet" is history in the present tense. It tells of intrigue and faith, bitter persecution and the birth of a holy book, brutal war and brilliant diplomacy in a desert environment where tribal allegiance was often the only protection.

waste = food

An inspiring documentary on the Cradle to Cradle design concept of the chemist Michael Braungart and the architect William McDonough.
Winner of the Silver Dragon at the Beijing International Science Film Festival 2006.
OUTLINE:
Man is the only creature that produces landfills. Natural resources are being depleted on a rapid scale while production and consumption are rising in na­tions like China and India. The waste production world wide is enormous and if we do not do anything we will soon have turned all our resources into one big messy landfill. But there is hope. The German chemist, Michael Braungart, and the American designer-architect William McDonough are fundamentally changing the way we produce and build. If waste would become food for the biosphere or the technosphere (all the technical products we make), produc­tion and consumption could become beneficial for the planet.
A design and production concept that they call Cradle to Cradle. A concept that is seen as the next industrial revolution.
• Design every product in such a way that at the end of its lifecycle the component materials become a new resource.
• Design buildings in such a way that they produce energy and become a friend to the environment.
Large companies like Ford and Nike are working with McDonough and Braun­gart to change their production facilities and their products. They realize that economically seen waste is destruction of capital. You make something with no value. Based on their ideas the Chinese government is working towards a circular economy where Waste = Food. An amazing story that will definitely change your way of thinking about production and consumption.

The Great Global Warming Swindle

Everything you’ve ever been told about Global Warming is probably untrue. This film blows the whistle on the biggest swindle in modern history. We are told that ‘Man Made Global Warming’ is the biggest ever threat to mankind. There is no room for scientific doubt. Well, watch this film and make up your own mind.

The Root of All Evil?

The Root of All Evil? is a television documentary, written and presented by Richard Dawkins, in which he argues that the world would be better off without religion. The documentary was first broadcast in January 2006, in the form of two 45-minute episodes (excluding advertisement breaks), on Channel 4 in the UK. Dawkins has said that the title "The Root of All Evil?" was not his preferred choice, but that Channel 4 had insisted on it to create controversy.[1] His sole concession from the producers on the title was the addition of the question mark. Dawkins has stated that the notion of anything being the root of all evil is ridiculous.[2] Dawkins's book The God Delusion, released in September 2006, goes on to examine the topics raised in the documentary in greater detail. The God Delusion explores the unproven beliefs that are treated as factual by many religions and the extremes to which some followers have taken them. Dawkins opens the programme by describing the "would-be murderers . . . who want to kill you and me, and themselves, because they're motivated by what they think is the highest ideal." Dawkins argues that "the process of non-thinking called faith" is not a way of understanding the world, but instead stands in fundamental opposition to modern science and the scientific method, and is divisive and dangerous.

Metal: A Headbanger's Journey

Sam Dunn a 30-year old anthropologist decided to study the plight of a different culture one he has been a part of since he was a 12-year-old: the culture of heavy metal. Sam sets out on a global journey to find out why this music has been consistently stereotyped dismissed and condemned and yet is loved so passionately by its millions of fans. Along the way Sam explores metals obsession with some of life's most provocative subjects - sexuality religion violence and death - and discovers some things about the culture that even he can't defend. Shot on location in the UK Germany Norway Canada and the US this documentary is the first of its kind. It is both a defense of a long-misunderstood art form and a window for the outsider into the spectacle that is heavy metal.

The God Who Wasn’t There


Former fundamentalist Christian Brian Flemming places the core concepts of his former religion under the microscope in a documentary that attempts to do for religion what Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me did for the fast-food industry. In his bold quest to seek answers to the difficult questions that few are willing to pose, Flemming is joined by Deconstructing Jesus author Robert M. Price, renowned historian Richard Carrier, and The End of Faith author Sam Harris.

From the ignorance of many contemporary Christians as to the origin of their religion to the striking similarities between Jesus Christ and the deities worshipped by ancient pagan cults and the Christian obsession with blood and violence, this faith-shaking documentary explores the many mysteries of the Christian faith as never before.

This documentary argues the “mythicist” case in the historical Jesus debate. This position says that Jesus of Nazareth wasn’t a real person but a ficiton based on Jewish scriptures and mystery religions of the Roman Empire. It doesn’t make sense to talk about a “real” Jesus - there wasn’t any. This documentary has good information but could have been better produced - any high school student could have done a better job. (Barnes & Noble)

The Zeitgeist Movement: Orientation Presentation

Religulous


Bill Maher interviews some of religion's oddest adherents. Muslims, Jews and Christians of many kinds pass before his jaundiced eye. Maher goes to a Creationist Museum in Kentucky, which shows that dinosaurs and people lived at the same time 5000 years ago. He talks to truckers at a Truckers' Chapel. (Sign outside: "Jesus love you.") He goes to a theme park called Holy Land in Florida. He speaks to a rabbi in league with Holocaust deniers. He talks to a Muslim musician who preaches hatred of Jews. Maher finds the unlikeliest of believers and, in a certain Vatican priest, he even finds an unlikely skeptic. Written by J. Spurlin

Fire on the Mountain: A Gathering of Shamans

A film by David Cherniack Productions in association with Global Vision Corporation and Mystic Fire Video Fire on the Mountain: A Gathering of Shamans is a documentary about the connection between consciouness and nature, as embodied in the spiritual traditions of Indigenous Peoples, whose ecological metaphors of the sacred are so relevant to the modern world. We shot the project in 1997 at an historic 10-day gathering of shamans from five continents, who travelled to Karma Ling, a Tibetan Buddhist retreat centre in the Val Saint Hugon in Savoy, in the French Alps, to discuss their concerns with H.H. the Dalai Lama and high-level representatives of the world's religions. This documentary embodies the wish of these Indigenous People - all traditional wisdom-keepers, shamans and medicine-women - who requested us to communicate their message to the world.

Global Metal

Global Metal is a 2008 documentary directed by Canadian anthropologist Sam Dunn and Scot McFadyen. It is a followup to their successful 2005 documentary, Metal: A Headbanger's Journey. Global Metal aims to show the impact of globalisation on the heavy metal underground as well as how different people from different cultures are transforming heavy metal music

The Destruction Of Atlantis




Another brilliant documentary from Michael Tsarion. “The Destruction Of Atlantis” deals with the question - was Atlantis a centre of world civilization? This is an excellent quality documentary film, giving a great deal of insight into ancient history. Michael Tsarion is the publisher of many interesting books and films and he has a number of websites for those interested. Michael Tsarion's research is second to none and he has a unique perspective on the history of mankind. His documentary approaches many of the questions that have, traditionally, not been answered by science or religion.

MISSING LINKS

Now you will discover the definitive truth about 9/11 and learn why even the most popular movies on the subject have failed to address the evidence exhaustively presented in this video. The facts will make it abundantly clear that the so-called 9/11 “Truth” movement has been infiltrated and is ultimately controlled by the same criminal group who masterminded the attacks. As they say, 'if you want to control the dissent you lead the dissent.' Utilizing evidence from the FBI, CIA, NSA, US Armed Forces Intelligence sectors, Foreign Intelligence organizations, local law enforcement agencies and independent investigators, Missing Links goes where no other 9/11 video has dared to.

Chicken a la Carte


This film is about the hunger and poverty brought about by Globalization. There are 10,000 people dying everyday due to hunger and malnutrition. This short film shows a forgotten portion of the society. The people who live on the refuse of men to survive. What is inspiring is the hope and spirituality that never left this people.

Chariots of the Gods
