Make no mistake, I believe in God, and I abhor any person who uses God and religion to provide for their own greed and hunger for power. I also don't agree with everything the movie describes, but it does raise many strong points to consider.
The first part of the movie explores potential religious corruption, if you are devout Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindi, Pagan, and a number of other religious sects, you might want to fast forward over this first section. However, the last half of the movie covers what we have all suspected in our government, that our politicians are puppets and their masters promote war for personal profits. The financial people involved with profiteering both sides of every war are discussed.
According to one philosophy, the "Common Enemy", the rhetoric states that unless a people unite under a common cause that society will degenerate into unproductive sloth. There may be some truth in this assessment, but could we not have another common goal? Instead of fighting for survival against perceived tyrants, might we not develop a system of values that promotes regional prosperity through the collective efforts of its peoples?
6-Sigma, Critical Reasoning, Ethical Evaluation, ... are tools! They are not mind numbing philosophical games to dither away time! They are strong tools for relating complex issues and determining the most productive outcome. As such, if each community competed for Federal Funding of community projects that are based upon these tools, then using these tools would become a natural part of our society.
What are the benefits? More funded projects because there is less waste. More employment because there are more projects. More community consciousness because each person becomes more important as a contributor. More factors promoting quality of life because each person is able to contribute more of their abilities to selfless issues while still acquiring personal gain. A society whose individuals value their contributions, is a productive society.
If anyone knows of resources for identifying who else may be involved with corrupt practices which undermine our government, please post what you have discovered. There is no point in voting for political leaders if both parties are owned by the same criminal interest. We must end the corruption and promote a system of broad ethical consideration. Because it is human nature to want our own interests to come first, even though broad consideration benefits us in ways we personally have not considered.
Zeit means "white" and Geist means "ghost". The people behind the corruption of the US Government; or the people whom live their lives as ghosts. I'm not sure what "white ghost" is supposed to signify.

To ignore information that you can verify easily for yourself, is not only self-deception, it is an important characteristic needed in the mind of the slave. To lie to oneself that there is nothing that can be done. To lie to oneself that complacency is strength. To lie to oneself that what we are told as children must be true. To lie to oneself that ...
The movie details how we have been manipulated into wars for the financial empire building of a select few people. Religion and Government continue to be manipulated to justify ever-present war; with the financial elite providing loans and weapons to both sides of every war.
To reap the greatest profits, to invade and control a society, segregate the society and create a sustainable war. Only then will profit margins be maximized; ... so is the limited vision of a corrupting influence we half mindedly call the Fed. I would love to hear their side of the story.
For example: Did you know the Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) is NOT a government organization? The Fed is a private corporation that charges the Government for the use of its money. Every dollar borrowed by the Governement (Trillions) has an interest to be repaid to the Fed! The Fed also produces the US Dollar! A private corporation basically owns the US Government, because at any time the Fed can call in payment on all loans made to the Government. Who owns the Fed? Alexander Hamilton back in 1791 influenced the then US Government to only use his father's bank; and it's remained that way since. Watch the movie and be amazed by everything hidden from the public citizen.
After viewing the movie, if you feel so inclined to take action against the corruption, please review my proposal for eliminating all political corruption. My proposal may not be perfect, so if you see a flaw make sure to tell me about it; I want the strongest possible solution!
