You don’t know jack about conspiracies, and I’ll admit that neither did I really. However, I just watched a film on the Internet (which, right off the bat, is the first golden quality of a good conspiracy) that 5 million other people have already watched called Zeitgeist. It’s a German expression that the un-citable Wikipedia.org has described as, “The spirit of the age,” and the movie touches on a number of conspiracy theories involving religion, worship, economics, government, 9/11, terrorism—you know, the usual. And because I have neither the time nor the energy (nor the will for that matter) to investigate these theories, I’ll do what I do mostly in life (which is why I probably know more than you) and observe.
Observation 1: The film. I watched it once and it messed with my head for a solid three days. I talked about what the hell we were going to do, how we were going to fight back, how we were going to get out, which land mass on Earth we could move to in order to be truly free and safe. I even mentioned teaming up with the Amazon.com man, Jeff Bezos (whose company Blue Origins has been getting licenses, via the FAA, for tests of a vertical take-off and landing system), to hop a spacecraft, get off the planet entirely and come back well equipped for a full-fledged revolution. But, I mean, what the fuck? Really?
So, Observation 2: Zeitgeist got my friends and I to discuss very extreme options for response. And, granted, we’re usually pretty extreme in our methods of decipherment anyway (I guess because, if for nothing else, it’s a great source of immediate entertainment). But this was intense. And, amidst our glossy-eyed expressions as we walked away from the movie, we could do nothing else but talk about how it all makes sense and how if you look back over history all the way up to today, Zeitgeist makes everything seem so crystal clear and that it’s time for someone to be successful in doing something about it. Even JFK is heard during this film sharing his thoughts on the “secret societies” behind American government, and we all know what happened to him. So my brain was on the verge of explosion…like when you’re trying to do too much shit at one on a computer and all of a sudden everything just stops and that orange “processing” light is fully solid. After a few days of complete confusion on the matter, I finally just hit the power button and didn’t even worry about shutting down my brain properly.
Observation 3/ Hindsight: A week after watching the movie I think I’m now fully back into my un-propagandized outlook on life, which is ironic because my final observation here is that propaganda is a two-way canal of fire and the only thing I ever truly know for fact is that which I see with my own eyes. A pretty spiritually un-fulfilling outlook on life, I’m aware…but I currently struggle to disagree with my guy, Blacktooth, when he says, “Who’s to say I’m right? An honest man you’ll never meet in this life.”
So I continue on, having crossed that Zeitgeist bridge down the road of misinformation in this proclaimed age of info, during which I struggle to keep my composure as an optimist. But here it goes nonetheless: Zeitgeist rules, conspiracy theories rule, real life rules, sunshine rules, good people rule, music rules EVERYTHING, and I ate food today. There. Beautiful.
