But... I am not trying to lead a bunch of misguided dupes into buying my DVDs and tshirts.

I don't understand this comparison at all.

Why is he not allowed to talk about PJ just because he is smug? I mean, if he was talking about how smug PJ is, then sure... but according to you he never even said that. So what point are you trying to make?

i honestly DO NOT know enough about 9/11 to debate what happened that day.

And now we're back to the same thing I asked you before the last time you said that.

We do have enough information and we do know that 911 truth claims are always 100% wrong back to front.

Of course now we know you're a Pentagon no planer and also believe things like no planes were scrambled and that Cheney was in charge of NORAD. If we were to talk even more you'd surely bring up lots of other nonsense.

You claim you looked at both sides, that is not true. If you had you would first of all not posted that fake video, apparently you aren't even very knowledgeable in what other truthers believe.

And its relevant since you asked what the promotion of pseudoscience is in the Movement.

I asked you that.

I asked you because if you say you don't know if it was an inside job then some truther arguments must be persuasive to you. I wanted to know what those arguments are. I had no idea you would be a "I believe bad obviously faked videos" kind of truther.

Anyone who claims they have "researched both sides" cannot rationally come to the conclusion that a conspiracy in 9/11 is even possible, much less that it happened.

Three, you're a Truther. Just admit it. The "I'm agnostic" fig leaf doesn't fit. No one but conspiracy theorists ever claim to be "agnostic" about 9/11, or JFK, or the moon landing, or any of the other conspiracy theories that most Zeitgeisters generally seem to believe in.

The fact that you come to us specifically to defend a movement that has as one of its major unacknowledged objectives the promotion of conspiracy theories and conspiracy ideology is itself strong evidence that you are a Truther, to say nothing of the confirmation you've offered in your replies here.

Dear Three,

You want to get the scoop on CIA black torture sites? You want to want to get the scoop on what really goes on in Gitmo? You want to know the real situation in the Middle East? You want to know the inner workings of the US government? You want to hear all the information that none of the cable network angertainment pundits will tell you?

Turn on PBS.

It really is that simple.

I think this speaks for itself.

You are THAT critical of the information you receive.

If this is starting make you feel at all embarrassed (which it should) then that is how you should feel promoting Zeitgeist films and being associated with Peter Joseph.

Thanks Matt. I do, and I really enjoy PBS - especially the NOVA series.

The thing is, I think there is more underlying issues of poverty in our world that have to deal with how money is created (because povert = no money).

Those are important concerns.

Unfortunately Merola nor anyone involved in the Zeitgeist Movement will do anything about it.

Doctors Without Borders do things. The Zeitgeist Movement makes forum posts about why donating to Haitian relief efforts are bad.

Yes Matt! I donate to Doctors without borders on a monthly basis! Esp after the haiti earthquake.

STILL, long-term, radical, change is necessary. And the first step is education. This does not happen over night, and 1 step can take a decade.

An example of how uncritical you are and how much you really looked into something you claimed to have done "a ton of research" on.

Aside from that... what was it an example of?

@three it was very poor example of an argument against 911 not being an inside job.

And even a very poor example of a 911 truther video.

Next time when here at least present a good example of a truther, these guys have probably seen them all though to be honest.

Why do you want to talk about the Venus Project?

Speaking only for myself, I do not care about the Venus Project. It's bullshit and will never work, but that really doesn't concern me. What does concern me is that the Zeitgeist Movement is a conspiracy movement that seeks to promote conspiracy theories and conspiracy ideology, which is exactly what you're doing here.

Let's not talk about the Venus Project. I don't care about the models Jacque Fresco makes in his garage. Ooh, they're pretty. OK. I care about stopping the Zeitgeist Movement and Peter Merola from spreading conspiracy theories. That's what I care about.

Let's talk about that. What are you, Three, doing to stop your movement from spreading conspiracy theories?

"I donate to Doctors without borders on a monthly basis! Esp after the haiti earthquake."

Then why are you so hellbent on defending a bunch of kooks who claim that doing so just supports the monetary system?

"STILL, long-term, radical, change is necessary. And the first step is education. This does not happen over night, and 1 step can take a decade."

I agree, the first step is education. Merola could start this trend by finishing college.

Yes, and it is also more than buying Blavatsky and Acharya S books off of Amazon too.

Also, Merola is no Bill Gates. He isn't even a Marshall Applewhite.

I think there is a lot of people in TZM that realize we are still in the monetary system, so operating as if we are outside it is suicidal. thats why i get up and go to work everyday.

According to people like VTV and the the ZGM charity is pointless patchwork, so you should really spend your time spreading the word not with donating money and time helping people.
