Rush Limbaugh on Zeitgeist

“If the movies you go see tell you that your government was behind the downing of the trade center and the Pentagon in 9/11 — as the movie Zeitgeist did, a documentary — if you were told by Michael Moore that all of this was done on purpose, if you’re told that the rich have […]

The MSM’s Peculiar Silence on Zeitgeist (Guess Which Network the Progressive Award-Winning New Age 9/11 ‘Truther’ Film Suggests Is ‘Manipulating’ News)

“The last thing the men behind the curtain want is a conscious, informed public . . .” — Zeitgeist (2007) “If conservativism is defined as standing athwart history yelling ‘Stop!’ Zeitgeist is looking the other way yelling ‘Go!’ Have you seen any major media reports on Zeitgeist? Why is that?” — John Saxton, “Three Exculpatory […]

Jared Loughner: Reefer Madness?

The Tucson massacre provides arch-Tory Peter Hitchens an excuse to stick his thumb in the eye of libertarians: The most likely cause is Loughner’s daily cannabis-smoking habit. The link between this drug and serious mental illness grows clearer every day. Wickedly, the dope lobby still tries to deny this and seeks to legalise it. Loughner has […]

Blame Tucker Carlson!

“‘The keepers of the faith won’t enter into debate with [critics],’ the narrator [of Zeitgeist] says. ‘They ignore them or denounce them as blasphemers.’ “At that moment, Zeitgeist turns to — of all people — Washington pundit Tucker Carlson to pivot from the Christianity myth to the Sept. 11 myth. Interviewing a 9/11 skeptic on […]

Zeitgeist: 9/11 ‘Was an Inside Job’ Also: It Won a ‘Progressive’ Film Award and Is Based on ‘New Age’ Sources

For the benefit of David Dayen, the liberal blogger who claimed that the 2007 film Zeigeist is “right wing,” here is a screen-cap from the movie: The 911 Truth Criminal Elements within the US Government staged a “False Flag” Terror Attack on its own citizens, in order to manipulate public perception into supporting its agenda. […]

‘The End of It Is Wicked Madness’

That’s a quote from the guy that Smitty sometimes calls “Ancient Commenter Solomon,” the Book of Ecclesiastes to be exact, cited in Amanda Read’s Washington Times column about Jared Lee Loughner: “What is government if words have no meaning?” Such was the question that Jared Loughner asked Representative Gabrielle Giffords at an event in 2007. […]

Jared Loughner’s Zeitgeist Obsession:
‘He Wanted to Watch It All the Time’

Kudos to the Arizona Republic for this follow-up reporting: Loughner began fixating on a documentary: “Zeitgeist: The Movie.” The movie is a bramble of conspiracy theories involving Sept. 11, the international monetary system, and Christianity. “There are people guiding your life and you don’t even know it,” the trailer for the movie intones. “He wanted to […]

Tucson, Zeitgeist and Madness: The Obsolete Politics of Jared Loughner UPDATE: Another E-Mail From a Zeitgeist Follower; Movement Leader Issues ‘Message to Members’

In the comments of a previous post, the blogger at 24Ahead.com elbowed me as a “Tea Party enabler” — an epithet that he would also apparently apply to Glenn Reynolds — and I think it’s time to clarify a few points about why I’ve spent the past four days digging into the Zeitgeist angle on the […]
