Good compilation of right wing lunatics on the Rachel Maddow show. I hadn’t seen the Oprah guy before – heard about it, didn’t click on it, because it’s nauseating monitoring all this stuff. But this is pretty startling: “Look out for people who try to take care of the poor…they’re the Antichrist” (paraphrasing). [...]
Watched this. Strangely, it made me lighten up a bit about our current situation, even if it’s pointing out that we’re heading towards collapse. I let the regressive elements in the country get under my skin – but in a country that’s regressing, this sort of behavior is inevitable. Don’t be surprised [...]
Maybe it’s finally time to weigh in on Loughner. The story has now directly touched on a lot that’s gone into my novel, and really much of my worldview. Loughner is reportedly a fan of Philip K. Dick and the movie Zeitgeist. Peter Joseph weighs in on Tucson here:
It has come to my attention that [...]
New Zeitgeist movie coming early next year. Looking forward to it. Trailer:
Zeitgeist: Moving Forward | Official Trailer- [ Extended ] from ZeitgeistMovie.com on Vimeo.
SYNOPSIS: Zeitgeist: Moving Forward, by director Peter Joseph, is a feature length documentary work which will present a case for a needed transition out of the current socioeconomic monetary paradigm [...]
Watched this. Sort of another “Zeitgeist,” except it’s fairly right wing (as opposed to Libertarian) and full of contradictions. The elite are pagans out to create a world that worships the earth so the answer is…paganism. A strange mixture of New Age spirituality and right wing rhetoric. Has this alarmingly stupid [...]
Things are really a mess when even the radicals can’t see eye to eye:
Signs of looming trouble began in New York in mid-March. We were there to meet up again with Jacque Fresco (director of The Venus Project) along with his partner Roxanne Meadows. They were appearing at the annual Z-Day event [...]
There was a recent Facebook thread by Evolver.net about Zeitgeist and the Venus Project that got surprisingly cynical. First comment:
Who wants to live in a world like they propose… it’s f***** up!!
I’ve written here before that these two movements seem weirdly and unnecessarily at odds with each other. One group wants to elevate consciousness [...]
When conspiracy theorists collide. In this video, Alex Jones criticizes Zeitgeist for being anti-Christian and being a part of the New Age conspiracy to take over the world.
To sum up the video – it’s saying that Zeitgeist, which is anti-Christian, advocates a New Age New World Order in which Christianity is supplanted, even as [...]
Check out the long discussion on Reality Sandwich about its withdrawal from a Peru retreat scheduled for spring. Gist is that Daniel Pinchbeck was going to lead a group to take Ayahuasca. I entertained the thought of signing up for half a second because Pinchbeck’s writing has seriously opened my mind up, but I think [...]
Two interesting interviews found recently. One via Futurismic with the founder of Paypal and principle investor in Facebook who has a sci-fi vision of the future.
Wired: What happens if we don’t get the growth everyone expects?
Thiel: If it doesn’t happen, people will go bankrupt in retirement. There are systemic consequences, too. If we don’t have [...]
