No surprise there, a lot of his rants seemed to have to do with conspiracy theories / currency and the like. Reminded me of Alex Jones rubbish TBH.

Yeah he seemed the perfect audiene for this sort of film.

Wasn't his Primary Target a Moderate Democrat?

Oh this old chestnut...

Let's look at the facts here.

1) The Zeitgeist Movement & films strongly re-enforce non-violence. It is a core tenant of the movement.

2) The so called "interview" the link refers to was between someone claiming to be Loughner's "best friend" though clearly states the FRIEND HAD NO CONTACT WITH LOUGHNER IN OVER 2 YEARS

3) Someone claiming to know what motivated Loughner's attack hasn't seen him in over 2 years?

4) The Zeitgeist films are strongly anti-mass media & this "report" came from a mass-media source.

5) A movie cannot make someone do anything; any arbitrary element can be influential in an overarching condition of instability. Just like wheat bread can be influential or any random thing can be influential.


Conclusion: Making the connection between Loughner & Zeitgeist is pure propaganda.

Time to wake up... the dream is over.

That's not surprising.
