The "Truth." It is the most exotic of strangers; a stranger that, like all pariahs to our social-bound human DNA, invoke fear and, most importantly, rejection as a result of a potent insult to our most tenacious evolutionary baggage, the feeling of comfort. However, it's not my right to impeach comfort as a human traitor -- I savor the feeling as much as anyone else. But when presented with a conscious choice, I would rather take comfort in the Truth than find the Truth in comfort. Hence, Zeitgeist (embedded below) provides a rare, albeit small glimpse of the truth's ugly physique. While the film should not be mistaken as an unequivocal dossier of the "Truth," it certainly isn't any more fiction than the "reality" in which our societal ignorance embraces day after day. Now THAT is a conspiracy.

Well, for anyone who follows these theories, there's not a whole lot of new information here - although the religion segment was a novel correlate. This film simply takes a more conservative, restrained (i.e. less fanatical) look at the issues and ties their points together nicely. That said, there are serious omissions, such as the Project For A New American Century, and serious problems, such as a lack of hard evidence to support many of their claims. But an important, inspiring film nonetheless.
I'm all worn out on conspiracy theories. Besides, it's time for my Bible study. I still haven't found the place in it that says Jesus was born on Dec. 25.
BTW, kudos to your sister for sending you the video.
