"But in the West's efforts to isolate Iran, India has announced it will send a delegation into Iran and has now emerged as the number one customer of the Iranian oil. There are new indications showing China will send in its officials. This global chess match looks like it maybe a long and messy one.

The Zeitgeist Movement on Russia Today:"Capital Account", Dec 2nd 2011
"So, with all of the problems in the world today, how do people begin to think about, let alone implement solutions that can improve their lives and those of others in society? Economists like Steve Keen support debt jubilees, others like Lew Rockwell and Ron Paul support sound money as the solution, but what about something more radical? What about getting grid of money, profit and competition all together? Well, Peter Joseph, author of the Zeitgeist series, believes that society can evolve to do just that..."

They've Seen the Future and Dislike the Present
"If the election of Barack Obama was supposed to denote the gradual demise of churlish, corporate governance and usher in a new, sustainable era of visionary change, there was little sign of it at the second annual meeting of the Worldwide Zeitgeist Movement, which, its organizers said, held 450 sister events in 70 countries around the globe…"
Tapping into the Zeitgeist
"Occupy Wall Street is just one of many social movements that have sprung into action over the last months inspired by the Arab Spring. Some of the movements display the same characteristics as protest movements of the 70s - disorganized, alternative, anti-capitalist and attracting people from all ages and all walks of life. A member of The Zeitgeist Movement, which is making waves thanks to the use of suggestive political videos posted on the internet, presents the movement."
Zeitgeist: Moving beyond Money
"In his latest film, Zeitgeist: Moving Forward, director Peter Joseph presents a case for a transition out of the current socioeconomic monetary paradigm which runs modern global society to a new sustainable resource based economy.

Enter Shikari, Famed British Band Supports TZM
"The zeitgeist movement is one of the biggest lyrical influences for us. This album really takes on the ways of thinking that they promote; thinking with scientific method and thinking outside of normality. The sheer possibility that we have with human ingenuity and how much capitalism and the current system is holding us back, really..."
Zeitgeist: Solutions for the World
"He calls it the Zeitgeist Movement, but Joseph says it’s simply a resource-based economy. "What is the foundation of human society?" he asked. "It’s resources." If society is restructured in a way to make the most of those resources, our lives could be changed drastically. Scientists are off on military operations instead of helping the world, said Joseph. He says starvation could be stopped if we just change the way we manipulate and manage our resourced, but first the world needs to adapt to a resource-based economic model…"
Peter Joseph, Zeitgeist Movement founder on Inaugural Zeitgeist Media Festival
"Tomorrow in LA the Innagural Zeitgeist Media Festival (ZMF) launches on the 10 year anniversary of 9/11; the main event out of approximately 70 happening concurrently worldwide, all thanks to the son of a mailman and a social worker from North Carolina, Peter Joseph.

The man behind the movement continues to focus on media-related expressions…"
A Dream Worth Having
"Who can argue with such a movement? What we have never has worked for the benefit of society as a whole. How much longer can we really expect it to last? Isn't keeping our current system and expecting something different from what it's always given us insanity?
I'll admit it's hard to wrap my mind around the concept of a world where success is not determined by the digits in our bank accounts. A society that replaces working hard with hardly working. Where we pursue knowledge for knowledge's sake and competition is not a driving force. But the benefits - no hunger, poverty, crime or war - sure sound good…"
Creator of The Zeitgeist Movement, Talks in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil
"He believes that if nothing is done to reverse the course taken by humankind with its insatiable thirst for oil, and luxuries, at the cost of the poor and nature, we will all face the threat of extinction. Even though he believes humanity will change its path sooner or later. Yet, for him the Zeitgeist movement is part of an awareness process, which can drive and divert humanity away from its self-destructive path towards a better and more sustainable future…"

Zeitgeist - London Lecture
"To the movement – the final goal of which is to reshape and re-order a society from its current embedding in a monetary system (which developed out of existing environmental scarcity, helping to stabilize various civilizations which faced shortages in many if not all resources) to one of a "resource-based economy" where all are truly equal and where humans have the chance to live real, creative lives rather than persist on the hamster wheel lives that rotate around the much-cliched "Nine to Five"…"
A Peaceful World IS Possible - The Zeitgeist Movement
"Global debt and economic crises, rampant international human rights violations, disgusting levels of inequality, ecological destruction on all levels- this and more culminate into our world’s current state of affairs. It is truly a wonder how our grandchildren’s grandchildren will look back and think of us. The ultimate answer is how we work to resolve these conflicts; that will be the deciding factor for this generation. The rest of the world is waking up; it’s time for the US to do the same…"
