We could need a potential disambiguation page to separate the meaning and the film. Both are essentially on-mission so could be separate articles. Although the definition of Zeitgeist would be a fairly short affair. ArmondikoVgnostic 12:18, 13 October 2008 (EDT)

Subtitles[edit]

Does someone know a legit version of the video with as many subtitles as the video linked in the article about the sequel of this video has?--Arisboch (talk) 00:33, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

I am unable to understand you. Do you mean to say that you need a link to download this movie and it's sequel with as many subtitles as possible? Rational1 (talk) 16:08, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Federal reserve causes financial crisis[edit]

This movie claims that the federal reserve loans out money to banks at an interest, which finally leads to financial crisis as massive debt in inevitable. Can someone refute this?

NOTE: I am not a conspiracy theorist. I am not even American, I have never been to America. I have seen this movie just few days ago. I just want to rationally talk about it. Rational1 (talk) 18:08, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

We have an entire article discussing the details of the crazy things people say about the Federal Reserve. It's often a mask for anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, and sometimes just general conspiracy theories.
In short: the high availability of credit contributed to the crisis, but hardly caused subprime mortgages to be fraudulently generated, fraudulently bundled, and dangerously overleveraged. ikanreed You probably didn't deserve that 18:21, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
