Conspiracy Theories

I have a sick obsession with conspiracy theories. I think it has something to do with my cynicism and constant urge to combat (or maybe understand) ideology and human consciousness. Do you ever wonder why "conspiracy theory" carries such a negative connotation? Because they often de-mystify everything that those in power wish to keep a secret. I've heard much about Zeitgeist in the conspiracy theory world and I finally watched it the other day. Oooooh weee..it's like they took every major conspiracy theory, linked them all together, and put it in words that any literate human being can understand. It doesn't seem like a stretch, unlike some other crazy theories out there (but I'm still convinced MLK's assasination was planned by the feds). Peter Joseph is a mastermind! Even if you don't believe any of his assertions, it's nice to have a different perspective on ideas you hold dear to your heart. It's good to have your world view shaken up a bit, no? That's what I live for!

The film is divided into 3 parts:
Part I - Religion
Part II - 9/11
Part III - US Government/Federal Reserve

Here is the film off youtube for your convenience. Enjoy!
