Cha-Ching!



On my never ending journey to find the truth there have been many storytellers who shared their stories through short films, documentaries or presentations. When the film Zeitgeist came out I found it to be a great summary of many of the truths and a complimentary source to another great documentary -
The Esoteric Agenda.

So, with the current economic situation deterioriating I watched a couple of films about money this weekend. The first one is a animated narrative called Money as Debt and the second film was part II of Zeitgeist, the Addendum, which goes deep into the financial systems of America as we know it.

So do many of us already know and believe that our current systems are ineffective and crumbling but we still want to move forward anyways along with it? Or are many of us getting ready to finally shut it all off and start new again? I'm sure there are some of us that truly believe this is only an America problem.

Here are some of the suggestions mentioned in the film. Thoughts? Discussion?

zeitgeist |ˈtsītˌgīst; ˈzīt-|noun [in sing. ]

the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time : the story captured the zeitgeist of the late 1960s.
ORIGIN mid 19th cent.: from German Zeitgeist, from Zeit ‘time’ +Geist ‘spirit.’
