Who Killed the Electric Car? is a 2006 documentary film that explores the creation, limited commercialization, and subsequent destruction of the battery electric vehicle in the United States, specifically the General Motors EV1 of the 1990s. The film explores the roles of automobile manufacturers, the oil industry, the US government, the Californian government, batteries, hydrogen vehicles, and consumers in limiting the development and adoption of this technology.
http://www.powerofcommunity.org/cm/index.php When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, Cuba’s economy went into a tailspin. With imports of oil cut by more than half – and food by 80 percent – people were desperate. This film tells of the hardships and struggles as well as the community and creativity of the Cuban people during this difficult time. Cubans share how they transitioned from a highly mechanized, industrial agricultural system to one using organic methods of farming and local, urban gardens. It is an unusual look into the Cuban culture during this economic crisis, which they call “The Special Period.” The film opens with a short history of Peak Oil, a term for the time in our history when world oil production will reach its all-time peak and begin to decline forever. Cuba, the only country that has faced such a crisis – the massive reduction of fossil fuels – is an example of options and hope
A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash explores key historical events, data and predictions regarding the global peak in petroleum production through interviews with petroleum geologists, former OPEC officials, energy analysts, politicians, and political analysts. The film contains contemporary footage interspersed with news and commercial footage from the growth heyday of petroleum production. The documentary focuses on information and testimony that supports the projection of a near-term oil production peak.
The documentary examines our dependence on oil, showing how oil is essential for almost every facet of our modern lifestyle, from driving to work to clothing and clean tap water. A Crude Awakening asks the tough question, “What happens when we run out of cheap oil?” Through expert interviews, the film spells out in startling detail the challenges we would face in dealing with the possibility of a world without cheap oil–a world in which it may ultimately take more energy to drill for oil than we can extract from the oil the wells produce.
September 11, 1990: President Bush reveals a plan to destroy America and establish a one-world government. He calls it “a big idea, a New World Order”. The Octopus is too weak to carry out his vision in 1990 because the news media are not under total control. The Octopus spend the next ten years planning a “New Pearl Harbor” event that will terrorize the American Public into abandoning their Bill of Rights and join a Global Fascist Police State where cruel and unusual torture is common and resistance is met with secret detention, mind-altering drugs, and execution. The Octopus plans to enforce their scheme through the use of little-understood high-tech weaponry and intensive propaganda spread through the news media. With their tentacles carefully placed in strategic positions within the FBI, the Justice Dept, and the Military, the Octopus decides to attack at the Dawn of a New Millenium, exactly 11 years after their plan was announced by the elder President Bush. Using an imaginary threat of global “Islamic Terrorism” the Octopus enlists the Neo-cons, Zionists, and Right-Wing Christians to spread their propaganda, making empty promises to each group. Little do they realize that as soon as the Octopus takes total control, Israel and the Religious will be betrayed, and all of mankind will serve only one master: The Octopus. Loose Change and Terrorstorm helped open your eyes, now see through the lies of the mainstream media and understand clearly what is happening. This movie has nothing to do with Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, or Britney Spears Drunk. But it’s still entertaining, new, interesting, and fun. Disturbing not sexy. No webcam girls in this one. Please wake up your friends.
Pe 3 octombrie 2008 Peter Joseph a lansat Zeitgeist Addendum. De data aceasta religia e “revăzută” pe la capătul filmului de 2 ore, hârtiile de hârtie (banii) sunt laitmotiv, dezbătut puternic la început. Se vorbeşte şi despre un nou model de societate (Project Venus), înlocuitor al democraţiei – considerată învechită şi grav coruptă. Se vorbeşte despre faptul că 1% deţin toată bogăţia (financiară) a Pământului, iar aceştia ţin în loc dezvoltarea de noi tehnologii care ar permite întregii lumi să trăiască arhidecent fără să muncească. Câteva corporaţii au profituri anuale mai mari decât PIB-ul a o grămadă de ţări. Etcetera. Merită văzut, analizat.

Zeitgeist: Addendum, a 2008 documentary film produced by Peter Joseph, is a continuation of the film Zeitgeist, the Movie.[1] The film discusses the Federal Reserve System in the United States, the CIA, corporate America, other government and financial institutions, and even religion, concluding that they are all corrupt institutions detrimental to humanity and are in need of replacement. The film advocates “The Venus Project” as a possible solution. According to director Peter Joseph, the film “attempts to locate the root causes of this pervasive social corruption, while offering a solution”.[2] In its conclusion, Addendum stresses the need for belief systems to embrace the ideas of emergence and interdependence. He outlines concrete steps that can be taken to weaken the monetary system.[3] The film suggests actions for “social transformation”, which include boycotts of the large banks that make up the Federal Reserve System, the mainstream media, the military, and energy companies. It is also suggested that people reject the political structure. Zeitgeist: Addendum premiered at the 5th Annual Artivist Film Festival in Los Angeles, California on October 2, 2008, and was released free online on October 4, 2008.[4] Synopsis Zeitgeist: Addendum is separated into four parts: Part I criticizes the practice of Fractional-reserve banking and criticizes the creation of money through loans. The film’s argument goes as following: Dollar bills get printed, or the money supply is increased, when the Fed buys Treasury Bonds. This money ends up in commercial banks. Then, once that money becomes a reserve in banks, it becomes “multiplied” through the Fractional-reserve system, and then loaned to customers. The film claims that such a system is “absurd” because the Interest that must be paid for the money that was loaned does not exist; it was never created. The film compares this system to a game of musical chairs, in which a person will always be left-out. The film does not attempt to go in detail to explain all that is involved with money and banking, but tries to explain the most basic aspect of the monetary system. This subject is also touched in the first Zeitgeist film. Part II is a documentary style interview with John Perkins, in which he describes his role as a self-described Economic Hitman (EHM). He claims he helped CIA and the ruling political/corporate elites who have worked to undermine legitimate foreign regimes that put the interests of their populations before those of transnational corporations. Part III describes The Venus Project, a proposal created by Jacque Fresco. The film promotes the Venus Project as a sustainable solution for mankind on Earth. Its main goal is to produce a “resource-based economy” using modern technology. Part IV states that everything wrong with the world is “fundamentally the result of a collective ignorance of two of the most basic insights humans can have about reality — the ‘emergent’ and ’symbiotic’ aspects of natural law.” The film then suggests actions for “social transformation,” such as boycotts of large banks, the mainstream media, the military and energy companies; rejecting the political structure; and “creating critical mass.” On October 2, 2008 the film won the “Artivist Spirit Award – Best Feature” at the 2008 Artivist Film Festival. The film had its global premiere during the festival’s opening night, which was attended by a sold-out audience of 600 people.[2] Festival co-founder Dr. Bettina Wolff stated: The failure of our world to resolve the issue of war, poverty, and corruption, rests within a gross ignorance about what guides human behaviour to begin with. Zeitgeist-Addendum’ addresses the true source of the instability in our society, while offering the only fundamental, long term solution. Director Peter Joseph has the ability to take risky subject matter and turn it into a visually, emotionally, and intellectually compelling case for a “greater point of view.” On October 9, 2008 the film became rated as top 19th at the Guardian’s Weekly Viral Video Chart, which is based on a count of the embedded videos and links on approximately 2 million blogs[5]. more info at http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/
