How on earth can that 'red on yellow' answer be the best one? Watch the Zeitgeist Movies for yourself and then use alternative internet sources to check it. It is uncomfortable, scary and enlightening but it is definitely not garbage.

Anyone that would answer that it's just 'garbage' clearly hasn't seen the films or visited the website. They are just uninformed.

Every Human Being Needs to Watch the Zeitgeist Movies. I Try to Get People to Watch It and Most People Do Not. I Get Frustrated By This. But, the Ones That Have Watched It Have Become More Aware...Please Share This Movie With Everyone

People who have awakened both intellectually and spiritually (not religious!) will understand what Zeitgeist is about. Others who immediately condemn and criticize are still not able to comprehend beyond their fear-based thinking and cannot yet begin conceptualize anything beyond the physical.

Brought in conception in the documentaries Zeitgeist and Zeitgeist: Addendum. It conceptualizes a new social transformation.

You need to go to the website and READ.

It's the most logical, intelligent solution to all of our worlds problems based on a possible 'resource based economy'. Which in essence means all humans are entitled to and have heritage to the earths resources, that we are capable now of becoming technologically advanced enough to create in abundance all the items we need to live. Food, shelter, health and safety. Leaving us free from labor and work to pursue education, creativity, and develop ourselves as a race. It abolishes such things like money, government, religion, war, the military, and diversionary materialistic noise. Problems are resolved through education and understanding the roots of and fixing or transcending them. It is not a political movement. it does not recognize governments or nations. Only true symbiosis of humans and the earth. Technology, science, nature, humans, and intelligence working together to create and maintain global long term stability. It is a non profit web site.

It opens up a whole new thought for the future of the human race. It brings up a lot of questions concerning transition without losing art, or movies, or entertainment, games. But I think it also proves that we only feel the want for these things because we are conditioned to since birth.

Watch the site for more content. and get involved. It's the only way we're going to truly save our selves from ourselves.

zeitgeist its not a load of crap. did you even researched if the data presented in the movie is true ? You didn't. Why? Because you might feel betrayed by your own system and beliefs, and instead of researching, you just closed the movie and forgot about what happened.
I did researched, because i didn't believed(some facts) myself what were they saying , and it did make sense after all.

People have to wake up and realize what is happening to us before its too late. you owe it to yourself to watch this movie and do research

The movement is aimed at expanding human awareness and fixing society, since it is obviously broken. It aims to guide humans to a new level of society, one that improves upon the mistakes we made before. It is a cultural evolution.

They ve Seen the Future and Dislike the Present

Published: March 16, 2009
Two hours into Z-Day, the educational forum associated with the online movie “Zeitgeist,” Peter Joseph, the film’s director and the evening’s M.C., stepped out from behind his lectern and walked forward earnestly on the stage.

Skip to next paragraph
Enlarge This Image

James Estrin/The New York Times
Peter Joseph, the director of two online “Zeitgeist” movies, was applauded after criticizing the global system of monetary finance.

Enlarge This Image

James Estrin/The New York Times

Before the forum started, Jacque Fresco, 93, the futurist, talked with young admirers in the audience about his Venus Project.

In his goatee and mustache and tieless in a brown suit, Mr. Joseph had been lecturing for nearly 90 minutes on the unsustainable nature of the money-based economy — on cyclical consumption, planned obsolescence, corporate malfeasance and piles of poisonous waste. “It’s time that we wake up,” he intoned, speaking solemnly through a wireless clip-on mike. “The doomsday scenario, the big contraction, might be happening right now. The system of monetary exchange is — in the face of advancing technology — completely obsolete.”

This drew wild applause from the sold-out crowd, a patchwork of perhaps 900 people who paid $10 a head on Sunday night to sit in a packed auditorium at the Borough of Manhattan Community College on Chambers Street near the West Side Highway. Z-Day events were taking place from New England to New Zealand, but this was the big one: the marquee happening with the marquee names.

There, in the crowd, was Jacque Fresco, an industrial designer and the engineering guru of what people unironically called “the movement.” Mr. Fresco, an elfin 93-year-old, sat beside his partner, Roxanne Meadows, smiling self-effacingly.

Mr. Joseph, back on stage, waited patiently as some of the crowd, still cheering, refused to leave their feet.

If the election of Barack Obama was supposed to denote the gradual demise of churlish, corporate governance and usher in a new, sustainable era of visionary change, there was little sign of it at the second annual meeting of the Worldwide Zeitgeist Movement, which, its organizers said, held 450 sister events in 70 countries around the globe.

“The mission of the movement is the application of the scientific method for social change,” Mr. Joseph announced by way of introduction. The evening, which began at 7 with a two-hour critique of monetary economics, became by midnight a utopian presentation of a money-free and computer-driven vision of the future, a wholesale reimagination of civilization, as if Karl Marx and Carl Sagan had hired John Lennon from his “Imagine” days to do no less than redesign the underlying structures of planetary life.

In other words, a not entirely inappropriate response to the zeitgeist itself, which one young man, a philosophy student in a roomy purple blazer, described before the show began as “the world as we know it coming to an end.” As the evening labored on with a Power Point presentation, a panel talk with Mr. Fresco and a spirited question and answer session, some basic themes emerged: modern economics is a fraud; global debt will crush the planet; society itself is dying from the profit motive; and people ought to wise up to the fact that more than legislation — or presidential administrations — needs to change.

Though they were never actually shown — as most in attendance had seen them several times — Mr. Joseph’s two films, “Zeitgeist, the Movie” (released in 2007) and “Zeitgeist: Addendum” (released last fall), were the subtext of the evening: online documentaries that have been watched, he says, by 50 million people around the world.

The former may be most famous for alleging that the attacks of Sept. 11 were an “inside job” perpetrated by a power-hungry government on its witless population, a point of view that Mr. Joseph said he has recently “moved away from.” Indeed, the second film, the focus of the event, was all but empty of such conspiratorial notions, directing its rhetoric and high production values toward posing a replacement for the evils of the banking system and a perilous economy of scarcity and debt.

That’s where Mr. Fresco came in, an author, lecturer and former aircraft engineer at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio who has spent the last six decades working on the Venus Project, a futuristic society where (adjust your seatbelts, now) machines would control government and industry and safeguard the planet’s fragile resources by means of an artificially intelligent “earthwide autonomic sensor system” — a super-brain of sorts connected to, yes, all human knowledge.

If this sounds vaguely like a disaster scenario out of “2001: A Space Odyssey,” Mr. Fresco did not seem worried in the least. Machines are unemotional and unaggressive, unlike human beings, he told the crowd during the question-and-answer phase. “If you took your laptop and smashed it in front of 50 other laptops, trust me, none of them would care.”

The audience — white, black, young, old, baseball caps and business suits alike — received such words like a tonic, and the questions kept coming: What would family life be like in the future? What would happen if the automated system decided that a person had to die? Mr. Fresco and Ms. Meadows are planning the production of a major feature film to bring the Venus Project to a wider, global audience. Before the night began, Mr. Fresco, a small man with a V-neck sweater and a hearing aid, sat signing books and answering questions from a dozen or so college students gathered like acolytes at his feet.

As the evening came to a close, someone finally asked: So what would it take to actually put such a program into action? A grassroots movement, Mr. Joseph said.

“We already have a quarter-million members,” he insisted from the stage. “At the rate things are going, this will be at Madison Square Garden next year>"

Main facts

Triodos Bank finances projects, institutions, individuals as well as companies that promote cultural value and benefit people and the environment. The bank offers a range of services that include saving, investing, asset management, private banking, payment services, lending and insurance.

The lending consist of the sectors Nature & Environment which in 2009 accounts for 4 7 % and entails energy projects such as wind power and hydroelectric projects. It also embraces organic agriculture, projects across the entire agricultural chain and environmental technology, such as recycling companies. Further 21% of the loans are distributed to Social Business whether they are traditional businesses, innovative enterprises or service providers with clear social objectives.The Culture&Welfare sector (30%) includes small loans to organisations working in education, care for people with disabilities, complementary healthcare and artists. All the enterprises Triodos Bank lends to in this sector have a clear, people-centred policy.


The Investment takes place through investment funds or investment institutions bearing the Triodos name and managed by Triodos Bank. Theses funds do not occur on the Bank’s balance sheet, they publish separate annual reports and each has its own Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. In 2008, there were 13 investment funds, in which individuals and institutions could invest.

Ethical challenges

The world as a whole is constantly challenged by unethical operations regarding environmental issues, human rights issues and developing issues. The constant battle against companies and projects that contribute to pollution, wars and violation of human rights etc. is an ethical challenge that also banks that finance these operations should take into account. When lending money to different projects, companies and institutions, banks are contributing to building societies. This because all projects, companies and institutions are dependent on finance in order to operate, and thus banks have an indirect responsibility for their actions.

Triodos Bank only lends to social businesses, charities, community projects and environmental initiatives. By selecting the projects, companies and institutions based on the value added they contribute to the society; Triodos Bank is addressing the ethical challenge of investing its customer’s deposits in operations that contribute to a more sustainable society. Triodos Bank’s financing policies contributes to and encourages operations that create a better world; community wise, environmental wise, developing wise and regarding human rights.

Furthermore, a bank is lending its customers deposits, thus they have an ethical obligation to act in the interest of their customers. With Triodos Bank’s commitment to transparency, and by publishing their lending’s, they are taking the issue of information and responsibility to act in the interest of their customers seriously.

Why do we trust Tridos?

Triodos Bank finances companies, institutions and projects with the support of depositors and investors who want to encourage corporate social responsibility and a sustainable society. Triodos is a pioneer in ethical banking because it is concerned with the social and environmental impacts of its investments and loans. We really think that Triodos is an ethical company because its mission is:
• To help create a society that promotes people’s quality of life and that has human dignity at its core.
• To enable individuals, institutions and businesses to use money more consciously in ways that benefit people and the environment, and promote sustainable development.
• To offer their customers sustainable financial products and high quality service.
They enable money to work for positive social, environmental and cultural change by offering a comprehensive range of banking.
Their corporate values are: Sustainability, Transparency, Excellence and Entrepreneurship. And as we know, ethical profitable behavior can be distinguished from profitable unethical behaviors by the transparent and confidential attitudes they imply. Here, in the case of ethical business, there is an interest in ensuring the transparency of the ethical dimensions of behavior.

Triodos Bank seeks to invest in companies that are not in fundamental conflict with their values and that deliver long-term value in harmony with society and the environment. Dialogue with companies is then an important part of the process.

Furthermore, they exercise voting rights to responsible share-ownership. By attending annual general meetings and by voting, they are able to challenge companies to do things in a more sustainable way, and in a way that benefits not only shareholders, but all stakeholders. They also contribute to a more people-oriented society. Triodos Bank has identified seven themes, which it considers most relevant for society. These themes include the responsible use of their cultural heritage, animal welfare, ecosystems, human rights, natural resources, social structures and human health.

We trust it is ethical because Triodos is unusual as it only lends to businesses and charities judged to be of social or ecological benefit. This "positive screening" extends its policies beyond those of ethical banks which solely avoid investing in companies judged to be doing harm.

Future challenges and improvements

One of Triodos key businesses is ‘continuous improvement’, which means that they continuously seek to improve all facets of their business. For example, they have developed their own voting guidelines, and each year they focus on specific sustainability themes. In 2009 these are climate change, obsolescence (lifespan of products) and directors’ remuneration. In addition to voting and raising questions at AGMs, they also meet with companies to help encourage their sustainability strategy and performance.

Triodos Bank has announced plans for a new capital raising offer this autumn thanks to a strong growth across all its activities. Over the next three to four years, the Bank expects to double its balance sheet total, customer numbers and lending to sustainable companies. The financial crisis has led to unprecedented interest in Triodos Bank’s sustainable approach to banking. The planned capital raising will help support the Bank’s anticipated growth.

The launch of the Triodos Microfinance Fund aims to increase access to financial services for the working poor in developing countries and is expected to grow from its first close of EUR 22 million to EUR 100 million by the end of the year. Then, we really think that the company is in great progress and announce good results and improvements for the future. They are increasing their impact on company behaviour.
