OK Jay back to the film Zeitgeist: I have spent much of the day running down references to various allegations in the film, having watched twice through and through. There are many contradictions. Yes it is true the day was chaos. Of greatest interest to me in the film was the third section on central banking, much of which was old territory to me after being very familial with Griffin's book Creature from Jekyll Island. The history of the creation of the Fed is fairly well documented and discussed on the web, even in wikipedia.org and no really new " shockers" emerge from the film in that regard. However there is one major glaring lie that I ran down first. Louis T. McFadden was a US congressman out to undo the Fed and for the same reasons my candidate and loser Ron Paul did. However contrary to what is claimed in the film he was not assassinated while in office, losing the election and dying later, not at a banquet which was alleged to be the scene of his demise. That is one major misstatement of fact that leads to others. So the whole film is to me therefore suspect. ciao Jim Black of Austin
