seen zeitgeist? listen to this…

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

This week a couple people approached me about the documentary film Zeitgeist. It was the first time they had seen it and they were concerned about the material presented in the film. That movie was by far not new for me and I am quite well versed with the content contained within.

The movie is a three part documentary which covers aspects of religion, government, banking, war and the desire for totalitarian control by a group of elites that wish to rule the world. The primary concerns for these people surrounded the first third of the movie which, to put mildly, is an unbridled assault on Christianity. I’ve heard that this section of this movie has really challenged people and in some cases all-in-all destroyed their faith. If you have seen this movie and had your faith challenged or ruined… or your a person that has always been a non-believer and have looked to this film as final proof for your “soul” to be at peace your non-belief, you need the two audio links below.

They are two sermons that were delivered by Bruxy Cavey, lead pastor of The Meeting House Church. They are in response to the Zeitgeist movie and man-o-man, does he put that film in its place, at least the first third anyway. It’s a must listen, whether you’ve seen the film or not.

I really do recommend you watch the documentary…

My opinion of the film
To focus on the first third of the film, my main question would be why does it only focus on Christianity? The film spends a third of it’s time working to discredit only one religion. If all religions are part of a system of control it would stand to reason that the film would need to inform us and discredit all organized religion. Buddha, Allah, Krishna and so on, not only Jesus and the Christian church.

What I think this film aims to do is to scare people and to kill hope. The last two thirds of the film focuses on the history of wars, government and banking painting a picture of lies, manipulation and deceit. It is all orchestrated into one motive - a one world government and totalitarianism at the hands of a small group that rule a micro chipped population of people. So to summarize the movie delivers a “you’re screwed” message.

Well, this isn’t true…

I am short of time at the moment so I have to call it a rap here. Please watch the films, listen to the sermons, leave some comments. I will expand upon this in my next post, I may re-watch the documentary and get in depth on the subject. Following that I want to finish the second half of a series I started a while back on the ten commandments.

Yesterday I wrote a brief but heated counter position to government. Also recently I have found myself having an ear for Rage Against the Machine. In particular I have been listening to the song Testify, mainly because I am a fan of Rock Band 2 and that song is found on the play list… man I love bangin that song out in the drums… if you can call them that.

The point I am pursuing here is the lyrical content of that song, coupled with the video is a pretty powerful message. I had never looked into the lyrics until yesterday, nor had I ever seen the video. So for your consideration, here it is.

Lyrics:
The movie ran through me
The glamour subdued me
The tabloid untied me
I’m empty please fill me
Mister anchor assure me
That Baghdad is burning
Your voice it is so soothing
That cunning mantra of killing
I need you my witness
To dress this up so bloodless
To numb me and purge me now
Of thoughts of blaming you
Yes the car is our wheelchair
My witness your coughing
Oily silence mocks the legless boys
Who travel now in coffins
On the corner
The jury’s sleepless
We found your weakness
And it’s right outside your door

Now testify
Now testify
It’s right outside your door
Now testify
Yes testify
Its right outside your door

With precision you feed me
My witness I’m hungry
Your temple it calms me
So I can carry on
My slaving sweating the skin right off my bones
On a bed of fire I’m choking on the smoke that fills my home
The wrecking ball is rushing
Witness your blushing
The pipeline is gushing
While here we lie in tombs
While on the corner
The jury’s sleepless
We found your weakness
And it’s right outside your door

Now testify
Yeah testify
It’s right outside your door
Now testify
Now testify
It’s right outside your door

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set

Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now controls the past
Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now?

Now testify
Testify
It’s right outside your door
Now testify
Testify
It’s right outside your door
