1. Who is Peter Joseph?
1 year ago
Who is Peter Joseph? A Mini-Doc by Charles Robinson. In late 2009 I was able to interview Peter Joseph, the creator of "Zeitgeist, The Movie" and "Zeitgeist- Addendum"; Founder of The Zeitgeist Movement, in his home. He described himself and his life in details in what is likely a rare interview. He was kind enough to provide me with previously unreleased media and video and I in turn did my best to create a documentary (albeit kinda poor in quality compared to his work!) that would help express who this person is. whoispeterjoseph.com

    Very good interview. I share Peters frustration. Whenever I dicuss these things people ask me why I am so iritated. It seems everyone within the movement is aware of what we could eb and this in turn is frustrating.

    I agree, it's especially frustrating when you just can't get people to understand the importance of this matter.

    There are many in the world who understand exactly what Peter understands, and have for generations... But it is time for the Movement, and time for people to wake up. It's a single world, and we are the world being aware of and changing itself. Adapt or die is the actual Law of Nature. Thanks to Peter for becoming the focus, and Charles for bringing this out to make this vision global.

    Thank you thank you thank you..

    It's tough to listing too, and i do agree on lots of the things, but i do see some positive side, in some of the not so positive side that peter is talking about, But maybe I'm just a little a head of him in some matters.. I've got 2 kids, and they sure makes a big difference in every day life :o) and i do hope that more kids will be bone, maybe Not peters, but by other people, that can educate there children to think and act in the right way.. otherwise, there will only be the bad seeds peter is talking about, and that would reach the end of Mankind as we knew it very soon..

    And to be 100% honest, when talking about Capitalism on the wrong path, US is to blame period , they are the teachers for the rest of world in good or bad behaviors...

    I'm Danish, and in the last 25 years or so, DK has turned into a Mini US and it is only getting worse...

    so I'm right behind you Peter, You are a hero for standing up like you do..

    Yeah I agree that economics are shit when you read all mainstream crap that has nothing to do with reality. Economics are natural phenomenon in a world with scarcity (last I checked we live in that world). Unfortunately Peter bases his view on economics on fundamentally one theory or school of it. There are many more than keynesian school. Check out austrian school for common sense economics (especially Rothbard). It would be beneficiary to understand why this "power elite" can exploit us so much. They do this through government coercion - they outsource cost of forcing people to play their game to government that is supposed to protects citizens but always ends up as theirs greatest enemy. We will always live in a world that is based on scarcity - you can not create something out of nothing.

  • Michael 1 year ago
    Actually we live in an artificial scarcity right now. America alone can feed the entire planet 5 times over as an example but we keep things stock piled and let them rot as to keep prices artificially low, all the while millions starve. Also with the rise of nano technology and the manipulation of forms of matter into other matter, say for instance literally creating whole objects by converting oxygen molecules into whatever we see fit, we will be able to essentially "program reality". Sounds like magic, "creating things out of thin air" but the science fiction of yesterday is the reality of tomorrow. And our technological progress used to double every 2 years. Now it's every year, and its speeding up creating an exponential growth that will change EVERYTHING. If this sounds far fetched to you, it is actually grounded in real scientific technologies and principles that are around right now but are just starting. Educate yourself on a topic called "the technological singularity" then watch a great documentary on the science channel called "visions of the future" its free on youtube and it has 3 parts, on youtube each part is cut into 6 parts for a total of 18 videos. Seriously dude, educate yourself and you'll understand your position of "we'll always have scarcity" is just foolish. All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, and theres plenty of matter out there to convert for us to use, even if we use it all up in a million years in the future, its still a lot better than running out of shit in the next 20-50 years because of poor planning and wasteful usage of our natural resources

    Isaac Asimov saw farrr into the future of man kind with his short story "The Last Question". Science fiction writers are visionaries. Star Trek is a great example of how many of the science fiction technologies have come to be a reality today (remember cell phones? That was in Star Trek) Also we have small working teleporter devices but can only transport small tiny particles but the size is increasing slowly, its only a matter of time till we figure it out to a star trek like level. Replicator technology is a real possibility, throw in artificial intelligence and you IN YOUR LIFE TIME will experience something truly revolutionary in the years to come. Devote yourself to the future of mankind. Join the movement.

    I'd also like to mention that this documentary is AMAZING, excellent job. Second I'd also recommend checking out some other peter joseph interviews which are all amazing, which can be found on youtube. This man consistently speaks nothing but hard utter truth, and nuggets of pure fucking wisdom and awareness of the truth. He gets it. But yeah search around and you'll only discover more great things from him.

    History repeating itself. This movement is a return to some of the oldest flawed thinking in existence. It is another attempt to sell the idea of a Eutopia. Here we have a new generation of the blind looking for answers and being willing to be led down the path to slavery while claiming the path leads to a eutopia.

    Eutopias always always fail because the element of HUMAN NATURE is ignored. Humans are not and cannot be altruistic. This is why a capitalist system is the most successful. Altruism is a requirement for the Z movement to succeed.

    Because human nature is what it is, the only way for the Z movement to 'succeed' is to force humans to obey the plan. These kinds of movements always descend into the swarming masses being dominated by a group of elite members who "know what is best" for the common good. The selfishness and human nature of these elite members' turns them into rulers with their ultimate and finally only tool being an iron fist. The elite live like royalty while they suppress the masses who once again are unhappy Always always always. Get that through your heads. It's wishful thinking and a guaranteed dead end.

    Joseph, if you have the chance to read this (which I don't think so)... I've Known not to trust in what people say, whatever it is. But let me tell you that somehow you have won my admiration an my entire respect. I don't admire much people because excellent people is really difficult to find. Actually, almost all the people I admire is dead.

    So I'm really pleased to have had the chance to "know" you alive and I totally support you. I'm gonna be part o of the ones who share "your" information with other. Thank you very much. You certainly deserve the world's best.

    Is Peter the new Jesus?
    Everyone seems to worship him as the new saviour of our generation.

    I'm not an 'attacker' but I believe that people need to stop watching all these videos that are generated from other peoples thoughts and taking them as gospel.
  • rocky boustani 1 year ago
    Charlie Francis! I like your smile! Yet, I like to enlighten your paradigm.
    Just imagine, if you are truly FREE (not controlled by any "ism" system, money, any capitalism, fascism, or any laws created by such system) that you can use your own brain at its full potential, do and follow your own passion at your own pace, at your own time, with no worries about your basic necessities, which are provided to you for FREE , a nice home for you and your loved ones for the rest of your life, full control of your life and your privacy, provided limitless real organic food, safer mineral water, your favorite fashion clothing, best high tech gadgets, best education, free health care including organ transplant, brain transplant, skin transplant, etc, any vacation accommodation, any time transportation to anywhere in the world including the Moon, no fear, no crime, no war, no recession, no pollution, no hatred, no racism, no money, no prison, no police. Everyone is EQUAL and everyone has everything they want to have. Then, if you can have this New Real Civilization, then compare it to our current primitive civilization that we live in right now.

    In response to your wonders about Pete: Pete is just Pete, and he is not jesus as you based on your frame of reference. Pete is an ordinary human being like you and me. He is spreading awareness in his local society and helping others around the world, and taking action like thousands of other people around the world, who are pushing for a new civilization with no special interest group, nor lobbyist, no donations, no selling, no magic, no government, no president, no political party, no religion party, no monetarism, no scarcity, no profit, no debt, no capitalism, no communism, no socialism, no kingdom, no parliament. Pete happen to use his brain and to think out of your ordinary controlled paradigm, like Jack Fresco, Roxanne, and thousand others within the planet Earth, who are educated within the box and more importantly educated outside the box, who can understand and can identify our on going historical stupid problems, and can propose reasonable solution based on our resources. We need once for all to get out of this primitive and destructive civilization that we’ve had for thousand of years. The people of this planet Earth must end this primitive civilization, and transition ourself into the new fresh civilization. The new civilization, give also to the existing oppressor same equality, same benefits because they are human being in our planet earth, thus they have same needs, and they are too brother and sisters after all. We can all excel by using our brain and technology to make our planet such a paradise to live in. We are ordinary loving people, volunteering our time like pete & Jack, seeking better life for all humanity in Earth as equally shared. that's democracy, that's real civilization, that's prosperity, and that's life.

    Charlie, I hope that you can take your time to research things first without jumping to quick conclusion. Yet, I'm delighted that you watch some of the videos, that have made you at least to start a heathy dialogue, and to start diagnosing your current system and hopefully to help implement a healthy one. Further, I’m your brother and I take this as an opportunity to learn from each other to think outside the unfortunate imposed given environment "box" that we can choose to get out of it once for all, and embrace a healthy environment that nourish our mind, our humanity, and our planet Earth. Everything good has been accomplished in our history only by few good apples that were fortunate to think outside the box, ( e.g Einstein, etc), who fortunately did advance our society under such corrupted and destructive system, Yet, such corrupt system took his work to use against human society. Imagine, if all of us were free thinkers outside the box with resources for all the common good of the planet Earth, we would have far exceeded Einstein accomplishment millions times more, and we would have easily spent our regular weekend in the Moon, flying 1million miles per hour. Nothing is impossible! we have a technology with all programed robotic system to produce anything you can think of. People can just relax and work on their passion to solve other important issues than doing the redundant job.

    For your reference, our new civilization that pete and thousand of others are pushing for is currently in the Phase I process which is:
    To spread awareness and knowledge ( work together based on our planet resources, our capable technology, and our Brain ) Frankly, if you know what pete and thousand of experts and scientists know, would tell you that We should have had this new Civilization 120 years ago. Please see Jack Fresco 's " Venus Project" which will give you a little glimpse of how a new civilization might look like. Yet, an ongoing updated designs, research & development, tests, and new technological ideas are in the working process as we speak. combined with, an ongoing inputs from peoples and experts around the world to improve our new civilization plan, which will have full flexibility that many future generations that can tweaks and upgrade as technology, resources, and brain power increases.

    To take immediate action from collaborated nations to implementing the new civilization system as initial model, as it will gradually spread out, as we see the monetarism system to be collapsing again very soon. Remember, New civilization has no money, no government, has no marketing, no stock market, no profit, no self serving interest of any kind. We all equal, we all have the same basic necessities, and we follow our passion to make our human being, the healthiest & Happiest man kind ever existed on our efficient planet earth.

    Last, Keep in mind the current Monetarism & all "ism" system is a Fraud system built by the few ignorant elite people to control you and make you a labor slave for the rest of your life. The history and your masters can tell you that they have tried patching this monetary system over and over, but the leak is too big to patch anymore! If we don't act together in common purpose to establish this new civilization, then we will be doomed and it will be the end of every human being in this planet earth- Such already spread abundance of nuclear Weapon power around the world will no doubt wipe every being in the Planet Earth. " So, We have the brain, the know how, Technology and Feasibility to build the new civilization NOW, NOW NOW-"

    So, Charlie please get inform as much and as quick as you can, time goes fast, We cant’ stay naive! Please you, your family and your friends must play an active role in your local new civilization society that can make a positive difference in our planet Earth; That will make you to be among the greatest savior of the humanity, and to be proud of. And that’s what I called a Savior and a Role model Hero to be commanded by a simple Thank you. Remember we all going to die and we live temporary life, so we don't own anything, Planet Earth was given to us to share, to enjoy it, and to use the resources adequately and efficiently, and to pass it to the next generation.

    Peace and Love, and may God Bless the Planet Earth and its Human being

    To be honest, before I saw the first Zeitgeist movie, I was so living in a BOX, it has changed me radically, in a good way of course The power is within us, as a single person you might feel that you can't do anything to stop these assholes from destroying our world, but if we get together we can take these thiefs down. I also have a son and I do not regret it, even if the world ends today, I will be with him until the last second. I'm sure Peter Joseph will change his mind on having a son or daughter, either that or some girl will trick him lol *joke*. OK Earth people! Be safe and stop shopping so badly.

    peter joseph is seeing correctly into unsustainability of current economic system but he does not understand how current economic system came to be

    he does not understand evolutionary biology and anthropology and does not see that human condition is an extention of pecking order from animal kingdom into the realm of deliberatively capable hominids (homo sapiens)

    this is why informing the masses will not work and a lot of people will dismiss peter joseph as utopian

    and not to mention that ruling elites that control the outcomes in all socio-economic system have no incentive to change it - they do not feel the heat of overpopulation yet

    what we need at the moment is emotion free approach to the realities of human condition which are:

    1) mankind is still in diasporative mode - we keep on multiplying
    2) pecking order pyramid is "natural" and based on it current economic system is natural too supporting and promoting diasporation of mankind
    3) science is currently serving the diasporation and is squeezing out more and more out of finite planetary system because scientists are first and foremost members of society and interested in ptheir own pecking order position more than fate of humanity as organism whole
    4) it is only a matter of time before the buble of overpopulation will burst when the total number of people on earth will be so large that science will no longer be able to "provide" for diasporation and overpopulation
    5) the great die-off will occur and if the ruling elites learn from it it is possible that the planet will settle into sustainability but only when the science will be the shepeherd of human condition and replace current institutions of ignorance as default human condition

    this is why rattling up the masses and promissing them the carrot of abundance will not work; this approach only distracts from the proper understanding of reality and the necessity for scientists who understand the default human condition properly to move into ruling elites and educate them and eventually to take over government

    be assured that it is inevitable process because it is the result of human deliberative capability that is governed by the genetic imperative universal to all lifeforms - that is the imperative to go on living, to survive
