Forget Zeitgeist, forget everything.

People on these boards are saying "Zeitgeist are making money off of this, Zeitgeist are fake etc etc.". Now I am not going to argue against this as I have not done the required research to say otherwise and neither has the majority of the people who argue for its cause. However the story goes both ways, the majority of people who argue against Zeitgiest have not done the required research to state their words as fact.

Assume for a second you forget everything you know regarding these issues and with this blank slate you take a look at the current state of the world, pretend you are somehow looking down on the state of the planet as if looking at a map. What you see is this - A world where environmentally the planet is deteriorating at a catastrophic level. Fish have been reduced by 90% compared to 50 years ago when the industry started, sharks have been reduced by 90%, this trend can be seen among countless species throughout the ocean. A total and utter eco system collapse is on the verge of happening, the first of which scientists say will happen within the next 20 years and not only that it is 100% irreversible - Coral Reefs. One of the most majestic and diverse eco systems on the planet is dying day by day due to the warming of the oceans. Coral Reefs which are considered home to 40% of the oceans species are disappearing and it is our fault.

The fishing industries have mutilated and raped the sea in ways unimaginable. Trawling nets that span the length from the earth floor to outter space are dragged along the sea bed catching all forms of sea life, destroying numerous habitats and killing all forms creatures that we simply throw back into the ocean because they are deemed unusable. This is all done to feed humans. Shark finning has desecrated the shark populations world wide. You may ask what effect does this have? Essentially we cannot live without sharks simply because they are one of the many species that hold the oceans eco systems together. Remove sharks and you have a domino effect creating extinction after extinction right down until you have plankton. Plankton give us 80% of our oxygen. We cannot live without these tiny creatures.

You than look upon the lands. Factory's spew out millions of tons each year of horrific waste that kills and deforms plants and animals, making parts of the planet inhabitable. We are mining and drilling for natural resources that are not intended to be removed. All so that we can travel faster, have the most recent xbox and playstation, have a warmer house etc. We are destroying rain forests worldwide. Only 10% of the trees are left on the planet. We are killing all forms of animals worldwide with chemicals and gasses. We are breeding genetically modified animals to slaughter and cut up into peaces to feed the nations of the world. Animals which are kept in darkness unable to stand their entire lives. Animals which are fed the ground up bones of their dead relatives to stay alive. One of our main concerns is that bee's are dying worldwide at an astounding rate. We cannot survive without this creature simply because they pollinate the plants we eat.


The list of environmental problems goes on and on and on and on AND ON...

If many of these problems are not RADICALLY changed within the next few years we are inevitably doomed. This is no longer argued by scientists, the only argument is how long will we have once these Eco systems collapse. Most say no more than another century.


Now we go back to ourselves looking down upon this map of the world still maintaing that unbiased view of things. With this information alone we can see that the world is in chaos, that the world is being run in a way that is not sustainable to the planet and humans alike. This is before we even divulge into the madness that is the 21st century world of politics and society.

Today we are living in a world of hate, of ridicule and of judgment. To be different is to spat upon. To be wrong is to be weak and to be weak is to be looked down upon with disgust and shame. We live in a world where we work to live and we kill ourselves working. We do not give, we take. We do not share, we digest. Greed is on every corner, hate is in every school. Hate for others, hate for ourselves, hate for our governments, the list goes on. We live in a world where our children are no longer raised by parents they are raised by schooling systems and media. Our children are sitting in front of a mechanical talking box that tells them how to live their lives. Our children go to school and are ridiculed by peers and teachers alike for thinking a certain way or acting a certain way. Free thinking is smacked down like a hammer to a nail. We are taught to except these ways of life and to expand on these ideologies that are all ready in place. Our children are prepared in schools much like toys are built in a factory. They are told they must go to college and they must study hard so that they can excel in their given field of expertise, whether it be garbage man or doctor the outcome in the same, money. Money is all that drives us as a race. This small green piece of paper that we strive to own ends up owning us, mentally and physically. It drives us mad, it feeds us hate which we vomit upon others. It creates greed and suspicion and fear. Through these fears we seek redemption and redemption is given to us in the form of religion. We are told that as long as we abide by these rules we can do no harm. As long as we abide by these fundamental laws of humanity we can do no evil. These religions stop us from thinking outside the box for to do so would be blasphemous and we would burn for all of eternity under the earth in the underworld. So we do not think outside of the box and we continue to hate, we continue to work to live and live to work, we continue to brainwash ourselves into believing that this consumerist/socialistic freak show of a society we call normal is reality and we continue to destroy ourselves and our planet.

It takes no scientist and no political leader and no genius to tell us that the world is in a horrible state. A state which cannot and will not be sustained for much longer. Forget you're differences and arguments and come together on this one simple fact - Civilization as we see it now is no longer viable. Society needs to change and it needs to happen right now, not ten years from now. It needs to happen today.

Instead of arguing about whether this documentary or that documentary or this organization or this organization is right or wrong why not come together on the source of the problem and fix it all together. The answer is right in front of us all we need to do is grasp at it. Just reach out and grab it, its right there.


Thanks for listening. Hopefully we can all come together before it is too late. I fear we cannot but have yet to give up hope.
