I’ve been in love with documentary films for a long time now. They hugely helped me to shape my reality and understand the world better from different, not commercial media spoon fed point of view. Without a doubt 3 documentary movies that fired and wired my awe inspired neurons together were released by renowned The Zeitgeist Movement.
What is The Zeitgeist Movement and what it stands for? It’s definitely important to get familiar with this movement as it delivers solutions our Earth, society and entire Humanity longs for. From their mission statement :
“Founded in 2008 (by Peter Joseph), The Zeitgeist Movement is a sustainability advocacy organization, which conducts community based activism and awareness actions through a network of global/regional chapters, project teams, annual events, media and charity work.
The movement’s principle focus includes the recognition that the majority of the social problems that plague the human species at this time are not the sole result of some institutional corruption, absolute scarcity, a political policy, a flaw of “human nature” or other commonly held assumptions of causality. Rather, the movement recognizes that issues such as poverty, corruption, pollution, homelessness, war, starvation and the like appear to be “symptoms” born out of an outdated social structure.
While intermediate reform steps and temporal community support are of interest to the movement, the defining goal is the installation of a new socioeconomic model based upon technically responsible resource management, allocation and design through what would be considered the scientific method of reasoning problems and finding optimized solutions.
This “Natural Law/Resource-Based Economy” (NLRBE) is about taking a direct technical approach to social management as opposed to a monetary or even political one. It is about updating the workings of society to the most advanced and proven methods known, leaving behind the damaging consequences and limiting inhibitions. which are generated by our current system of monetary exchange, profit, business and other structural and motivational issues.
The movement is loyal to a train of thought, not figures or institutions. The view held is that through the use of socially targeted research and tested understandings in science and technology, we are now able to logically arrive at societal applications that could be profoundly more effective in meeting the needs of the human population, increasing public health. There is little reason to assume war, poverty, most crime and many other monetarily-based scarcity effects common in our current model cannot be resolved over time. The range of the movement’s activism and awareness campaigns extend from short to long term, with methods based explicitly on non-violent methods of communication.
The Zeitgeist Movement has no allegiance to country or traditional political platforms. It views the world as a single system and the human species as a single family and recognizes that all countries must disarm and learn to share resources and ideas if we expect to survive in the long run. Hence, the solutions arrived at and promoted are in the interest to help everyone on Earth, not a select group”

In my very early twenties when I continued to develop my character into a system buster type, searching passionately and wholeheartedly for answers, I came across David Icke’s name on some alternative, conspiracy “theories” websites and started reading about him as I felt something resonated inside me with what he had to pass on with his messages and point of views. It resonated deep enough to make me read his most popular books and finally I ended up watching and listening to literally hundreds of hours of David’s amazingly vibrant, long public speeches that I could find on youtube ( very often in HD, whole, uncut, 3-4 h lectures/talks ).
