Zeitgeist: Addendum, is a 2008 documentary film produced and directed by Peter Joseph, and a sequel to the 2007 film Zeitgeist: The Movie.[1]
Addendum begins and ends with excerpts from a speech by Jiddu Krishnamurti. The film is divided into four parts[2], each prefaced by a quotation from some well-known scholar. Part I denounces the United States Federal Reserve System, argues that a nation's creation of money and debt are necessarily intertwined and irresolvable, and claims that the monetary system contradicts with efforts toward social progress due to the absolutely inevitable hindrances of interest and inflation. Part II interviews John Perkins, a self-described former economic hitman, who articulates the involvement of the United States (largely through the CIA) in the violent overthrow and installation of various dictators in South and Central American countries, all on behalf of U.S. corporate interests with disregard for the interests of the people of these countries. Part III introduces the societal solution of The Venus Project, Jacque Fresco and Roxanne Meadows’s vision of a technocracy movement emphasizing major scientific and engineering advances without any profit motive, natural resource management along with improved energy efficiency, and abandonment of the monetary system in favor of a resource-based economy. Part IV explores how all major social problems are ultimately the result of wide-scale ignorance concerning the concepts of emergence and symbiosis[3], as detrimentally maintained by political, monetary, and religious institutions; several means of social change are then suggested, largely via non-violent boycotting and educating. The film concludes in a sequence depicting actors as members of the fast-paced modern world suddenly stopping in their everyday activities and letting go of various symbolic items of corporate, religious, and materialistic significance.
