I consider Zeitgiest to be an intellectually dishonest film, not because of the filmmakers personal bias, but because of its disregard for the truth!. There is so much questionable statements that can easily be refuted, or controversial points that have legitimate opposing views that should have been presented!.
For those wondering what ties part 1 with part 2+3, just study the sources cited by Zeitgeist and follow them up- and down-stream on the net!. Zeitgeist is born from the far-fringe of ultra-paranoid NWO-centric belief that almost every institution is evil, lying to you, and out to get you!. The movie choose to focus on the church, government, and international bankers, and secret societies!.
It goes beyond the healthful skepticism needed for a thriving democracy and into the alternate universe where virtually every conspiracy theory is considered true, and any contrary evidence is part of the grand conspiracy and should be ignored!.
If the views expressed in Zeitgeist match your belief system, you can continue to reinforce those views by avoiding any counterviews and just sticking with other films of this genre on the net such as "Freedom to Fascism" and "Money Masters"!.
However, if you have some doubts and want explore them, there are plenty of scholarly works available on Amazon and other sources!.

The study of conspiracy theories themselves and how they evolve can be interesting inself!. Here is a higher level view of the concepts in Zeitgeist!.
- "Mythology of Jesus" theory - Was an obscure and generally dismissed theory!. Has gained exposure due to author "Acharya S" and her collaboration with the Zeitgeist filmmaker!. (She is also author of the films companion guide)
- "9/11" - Still evolving!. You get to watch it unfold in real-time!. Pay attention and you'll have something to tell your grandchildren (This is the JFK assassination story of our time)!.
- "Income Tax law Doesn't exist" theory - Very stale!. Consistently disproven over-and-over again!. No new information, just new victims going to jail that fall for these arguments!. Very sad!.
- "Federal Reserve System is owned by international bankers" - Still a common conspiracy theory!. Still wrong!. The Federal Reserve System, headed by the Board of Governors, is a Government Agency!. The Federal Reserve branches can be considered nominally owned by their member banks, all of which must be American-owned by law!. It is receives regular audits, and is overseen by congress!.
- "General distrust for the government, big business, and media" - Always in fashion and not a bad philosophy to live by!. If you like good conspiracy theories, stay with the here-and-now!. Lots of good stuff to choose!. Global warming!? Iraq War!? Big oil!? Vast (right wing conspiracy) vs (liberal media)!? Dick Cheney or Hillary Clinton!? Pick a side and start learning!. It's fun and educational!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
