You are writing some troubling things Midnight. Even though we don't know each other and I only know what you write on the message board, I have always been able to see that you are a good person and a person with a good soul.
It's especially troubling that you seem to take this Zeitgeist film at it's word without any thought and without any questions.
Did it not ever occur to you that the film never once presented any individual or anything to even remotely refute what it was trying to put forth? Not a single person outside the crackpot 9-11 truther movement was featured, yet that gave you no reason for pause.
I just don't see anything wrong with investigating everything our government tells us. I think it's foolish to believe everything they say as the ultimate truth!
But in your mind it is somehow not foolish to believe blindly everything presented in a propaganda film that was intentionally designed to manipulate you.
Yes, you did say you believed everything presented in this film. For some reason you are disregarding all the deceptions, thinly veiled circumstantial evidence, and it's utter and complete lack of objectivity.
There have been psychological studies done into the mindset of people who are prone to conspiracy theories. Some people have a problem dealing with the unpredictability and randomness of life especially where things like 9-11 are concerned. It is easier for them to believe there is a malevolent controlling force orchestrating global events and in a perverse kind of way that is more comforting to them. The film Zeitgeist takes full advantage of that psychological profile.
9-11 was not orchestrated by the US government. There were no controlled demolitions of the WTC towers. The Pentagon was not hit by a missile.
You are being led down the wrong road Midnight.
