A call from Zeitgeist movement

IN RESPONSE TO THE OIL SPILL IN THE GULF OF MEXICO

(Venus, Florida- May 12rd, 2010) 

On the Gulf Coast of the United States the shock is now setting in for
millions of American citizens as we now realize the true extent of the
damage caused by our desire for obsolete and dangerous fossil fuels, and
our perpetuation of an outdated monetary world society, where the
bottom line has always been profit at all costs, be it human or
environmental. It is time for a viable solution to deal with a system
hardwired for self destruction.

It is with that very unfortunate introduction that we, The Zeitgeist
Movement, now must enter the international conversation to express the
need for true change. That word is not some jingoist slogan devised by a
focus group, but the evident desire of the public for a meaningful
transition out of the destructive legacy, the burden of our past
mistakes as a maturing civilization. We only have one Earth; there is no
reset button here.

We must break out of our established ideologies that have prevented
progress. Ending the political duality, economic stratification and
false divisions is key to overcoming our apparent historical bondage
that says the future we were promised must remain an elusive dream. We
must now rethink our society and outgrow those parts of it that serve to
paralyze us.

As of Friday, April 30th it was reported by CBS News (US) that the spill
had spread to cover 2,100 square miles and was still spilling at a rate
up to 5,000 barrels (210,000 gallons) a day. As of today, there has
been no progress in stopping this catastrophe. This did not have to
happen. It happened because we continue to use an obsolete technology
for the sake of maintaining a profitable establishment. An establishment
that perpetuates vast inequality in its wages to its employees versus
its core owners, destroys fragile and vital eco-systems, and pollutes
our air.

It is time for real change, not empty promises. No amount of socialism
or free market ideology will save us from ourselves, there needs to be a
fundamental re-write of what we think we know, to achieve a sustainable
human enterprise.

Our generation has stood and watched as our planet has been raped and
pillaged, yet we do nothing. Our generation has stood and watched as our
government bailed out the very people who created this economic crisis,
yet we do nothing. Our generation has stood and watched as our rights
have been stripped away from us, and yet we do nothing. Our generation
has stood and watched as we have been handed the problems of the
countless generations before it, and we are preparing to do the same to
the next generation, and we do nothing.

Let us be the first generation to hand solutions to our children and our
children's children. But we can't do it alone. Let us break down the
barriers we have created amongst ourselves. We need all of you, every
last one, to say enough is enough in one voice. Not as Americans or
Russians, Christians or Muslims, but as fathers, mothers, brothers and
sisters. Let us destroy the lines between us and work to create a world
where our children are truly safe and free. Let us create a world where
we can tell our children that they can be and do whatever their heart
desires, and know deep inside us we are telling them the truth. Let our
generation be the one.

We have the tools, we have the knowledge, we have the technology. It is
time we make the transition to a world, an economy, and a future we all
deserve regardless of geographic location or economic disposition. As
long as we rely on legacy systems defined in a 19th century mentality
all we will do is spin our wheels while a parade of economic and
ecologic disasters visits us again and again. It is time to pull the
plug on this charade because as you will find out, there is a better
way.

We, the Zeitgeist Movement representatives, reach out to you so that we
can all work together to do what must be done. Every man, woman and
child has a voice, but together we can create one voice so deafening
that no one will have a choice but to listen. But it requires you. It
requires you put away preconceived notions you have been told about "the
way things are" as if it is the only way, because it's not! Our way of
thinking will no longer sustain us. We can either remain in the house of
cards we have built and watch it collapse all around us, or we can,
through the best our society has to offer, begin to construct a stable
mature and thriving society so that the Gulf Coast Oil Spill, the Exxon
Valdez and many others are nothing more then an embarrassing footnote in
history.

The choice is yours.
