Z-Day for Zeitgeist day, this next sunday, March 15th 2009

Zeitgeist is the (web-)movie the most seen on the internet during all the web history (about 100 millions times).

Despite this movie is very oriented, i invite you to watch it then make your own opinion. We can’t  agree all the things on Earth (principally religions, politics, economics), and it can be more difficult to agree some theories that media qualify as conspirationist; Zeitgeist being classified in such category.

If you spoke about some of these theories, you’ll find skeptics who will laugh of you and/or debunk these theories, they’ll ask for proofs, and will even cry you’re an hyper paranoid. You should know: it seems normal people can be paranoid in 2008/2009, especially in these time crisis… think one minute about what happens for some months: you should realize this finance crisis still can help people and some companies to make profits… and you’d like to know who they are or what are the origins of this crisis. Many people don’t understand what happens today because of their lack of knowledge in finance, economics, geopolitics domains, and only accept what they see on TV Information channels. First rule, don’t accept everything you watch on TV, and use other independant channels to get information. Spend time to learn how things work in specific domains you’re interested in, ask for help in your entourage. “The more you begin to investigate – What we think we understand, where we came from, what we think we’re doing, the more you begin to see we’ve been lied to. The more you educate yourself, the more you understand where things come from, the more obvious things do come and you begin to see the lies everywhere. You must to know the truth, and seek the truth, and the truth will set you free” (Zeitgeist intro).

Zeitgeist 1 (2007) is focused on 3 themes :

- Religion. The most disturbing for me was the vision of the Religion by Zeitgeist’s authors, making references to the astrology, and showing what you can find in Christianism, you can find it in other religions, and even before, at the time of polytheism in Egypt, Greece or Roman empire. To be short, Zeitgeist in part One is kind of propaganda explaining Jesus Christ never existed

- 9/11/2001 : shows as a classic manner 9/11 attacks were an inside job, but others did it before , like Loose Change.

- Federal Reserve and financial system

Finally there is a sequel, Zeitgeist Addendum , more focused on the monetary system 

Zeitgeist’s information stream , especially if you read subtitles, is fast, too fast – the film should be reviewed several times, to be well understood.

There is also a movement behind Zeitgeist and this Z-Day .

I recently began a book from Ed Yourdon, named “Death March”, a guide to identifying and surviving “death marches”.

First, as written as a resume on the book, the author says many companies continue to create Death March Projects, repeatedly, implying numbers of rational and intelligent people. A death march project is a project whose schedules, estimations, budgets and resources are so constraint or skewed that participants can hardly survive, much less succeed.

This book is not a recipe about perfectly organized projects in companies, but it’s about your project , in your company, and will learn you what to do about it.

et_iphone.jpgWe all know Steven Spielberg is fascinated by paranormal and extra terrestrials. To be convinced about his, you’ll just have to see his productions and realized movies : Close encounters of the third kind (1977), Poltergeist (1982), E.T the extra-terrestrial (1982), Always (1989), Casper (1995), Men in black (1997), The Haunting (1999), War of the worlds (2005), et the next movie Interstellar (2009)

TechCrunch reports a rumor that Steven Spielberg is readying a new social network for people who are interested in unusual and/or paranormal phenomena like UFOs and ghosts. According to the TechCrunch post, “the new social network may also have original video content investigating alleged ghosts and UFO stories.”. “the project should have been done intially with Yahoo“, but finally “a team from Los Angeles works on the project for a rollout in the next 6 months“.

Recently i bought the DVD of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” , for the 30 years birthday of the movie. From the DVD bonus, i learned Spielberg was in touch at this time with UFO research. The role of Francois Truffaut (Lacombe) would have been inspired by the esteemed UFO researcher Jacques Vallée
