There is another aspect to this as well. If this kid was largely altered and motivated by a mindset based upon the work ‘Zeitgeist’ then this is the second time in nearly under a year that some LEFT-WING person was influenced by a Marxist style work that invites it readers to engage in a fantasy or delusional conspiracy lifestyle.

The Discovery channel terrorist was also inspired largely by a type of work such as this. A work called Ishmael. It was also just as insane as Zeitgeist in the way it interlaced fantasy and Marxist ideology. It featured a psychic eco-warrior gorilla that taught a new way of viewing human history from our creation in the Garden of Eden to now whereas capitalist were the villains.

It became even more then just a fictional work and developed followers called the ‘Friends of Ishmael’. It became as if a political movement based upon fantasy, conspiracy and insane political activism though it was rather obscure.

From my understanding the Discovery channel terrorist had become deeply influenced by this work.

Now of course if this work ‘Zeitgeist’ serioursly influenced this kid then we have two such cases in a row.

I really do not have an argument against that man.

Honestly, once people go to the point of murder, they should not continue to breathe.

Who need Zeitgist? The Firesign Theater explained it all in their 1974 Album: "Everything You Know Is Wrong"

The Venus Project...



Fooling the world into submitting to 21st century Eco-Marxism under the premise that everyone will eventually get to sit on their asses and play video games while Rosie the robot brings them a beer before scrubbing the toilet.

The friend who revealed this also said the shooter was doing a lot of the plant/drug salvia.

This is a very powerful psycho-tropic. Chicken or egg, I dunno, but I think it’s journalistic and LE malfeasance to not explore the connection further.

Well the third part sounds about right at least. The rest is garbage.

At least the killer wasn't influenced by The Lost Seinfeld Episode.

He’s a GWB hater and a truther.

Why do you think trutherism was invented? It was invented to bring down the Bush presidency by assigning blame to him.
