Zeitgeist is a german rooted word which describes the spirit of time. In human behaviour the zeitgeist is the collective balance between good and bad. An apocalypse is an end time scenario and not necessarily the end of the human species or the end of planet earth.
Financing the apocalypse is another way of stating what the people at the Zeitgeist Movement seem to be saying about the way in which money as become the tool of choice for measuring peoples worth.
The Zeitgeist Movement was started in 2008 as a base for activism and they will be present at the G20 meeting in Toronto in June 2010 where global financial issues and the security of the economies of devoloped and emerging nations will be debated.
The people behind the Zeitgeist Movement find influence in people like Jacque Fresco of the Venus Project. They promote a system of equity that is Resource Based. A Resource Based Economy is different that an economy based on tangible or physical items that are mass produced often by factory workers who work in near slave camp like factories at less than poverty wages. The current zeitgeist in the world is one where dollars, tangible items themselves, are the driving force of the economy and this is a means of an end fails humanity. Most of humanity that is. A small group of people thrive in a dollar based economy and they go very far out of their way to continue to print money to sustain a system that fails time and time again.
G20 is a meeting of master financiers who are either appointed finance ministers of their respective country or members of the central bank within their country. Who knows they may have a reason for printing more money.
The people behind the Zeitgeist movement tell us that a Resource Based Economy is environmentally friendly and would sooner or later heal the planet and it's inhabitants and thus turn the Zeitgeist or spirit of time global consciousness from one of perpetual doom and gloom to one of near Utopia.
Utopia may be pushing the limits but if you have looked at the works of Jacque Fresco and of his technological world of the future then you know that he is a human seeking to push humanity towards perfection and a Utopian mindset.
Personally I see many pros and cons in Fresco's enlightened visions of the future. I personally see his floating structures as a possibility but on the flip side of the token I can only see how in such a society of advanced technology which calibrates itself to the planet there is a dark world, an almost prison like world where those who are not part of the inner city society would suffer much deeper torment than the empoverished people suffer in today's world.
See this video for the Fresco ideology.
I agree with the people behind the Zeitgeist Movement in that the supply and demand chain which drives the global dollar driven economy of today is definitely Financing the Apocalypse and using up the environmental resources to a very sour end. However I recall that Hitler was more than just a sick war lord. He also had a prediction for a future based on his own ideologies and that his Utopia was full of great cities.
Other groups of protesters will be making an appearance at the G20 meeting including the Black Bloc.
