What can this junk stop

That is a good post.

We are self centered beings. We like to think only for ourself. And with aging man realize that everyone is thinking only for themselves, so he does the same.

Not in every case. I see a lot of people who are selfless and do the best they can for society. But they are a minority, and, sadly, most of them are from an older generation. And I can see why this is: a lot of the time I try to follow in their footsteps and be helpful, but believe me, it is very hard when you are young (I am 28), not established professionally and financially, and having to make ends meet. (There we go, I am talking about myself here again, lol)

It consumes a lot of time and (mind and body) energy and perhaps this is one of the reasons many people just give up.

Young people are traditionally the moving power of a revolution, and it looks like the machine has found out a good way of maintaining its status: keep them perpetually busy and feed them with a steady flow of misinformation.

It is good that movies like this are receiving attention, but that is not enough until people start applying the messages they get from them into their everyday life.

YES, debt will always exist as will war, suffering, and people believing in invisible gods in the sky. However there is nothing sinister about the U.S central bank. Interest is an age old concept that allows people to MAKE MONEY.

The central bank insures the money you put into local banks, if they folded, without a central banks Federal Insurance, your money would disappear. The central bank as we know it today was created after a great financial panic where people lost everything because when their bank folded the money was irretrievable.

It's not some secret government conspiracy that keeps capitalism perpetuating, ITS A FREE MARKET, which means the government has little to no control over who buys what and who sells what. Yes, the Federal Reserve exists as a "banker's bank," but its not an elite society. Local banks can borrow money from them, usually as a last resort. The Federal Reserve changes the interest rate and reserve rate to tame the beast that is capitalism. They lower the interest rate to increase demand on loans, which allow people to start their own business, buy a jet ski or whatever. They increase the interest rate to discourage borrowing and stabilize the capitalist economy. Capitalism may be a sometimes brutal system but a find me a better one (real world example please).

This is Micro Econ 101 stuff. Interest is not a tool for mass control. Debt will always exist, because people WILL ALWAYS BORROW MONEY. And if we had no central bank it would be like FREAKING SOUTH AMERICA where a bank could be booming one week and close the next and nevermind the million dollars you had in it. I think the creators of Zeitgeist need to take an Economics class.
