Pretty much. What he did get right on the Jesus part was specious at best. Sure, one could claim that Jesus is nothing more than an extension of ancient zodiacal sciences, but i feel it is much more than that. not one group of people invented Jesus. Many different groups doing their own thing. Sure, some astrologers had a touch here and there with him, but Jesus wasnt a rip off of any specific deity either. Sure, he has lots in common with other deities, but not any single deity.
Some of the stuff he showed on the 911 was fact, but he twisted those facts to fit a conspiracy theory.
Basically that is what i mean when he said "he got this or that right". I mean that he did present some facts, butquickly distorted them to fit a conspiracy theory. the 9-11 part of the movie was nothing more than exactly what creationists do.
He found a conclusion - in this case "conspiracy!"
then he went around looking for evidence to back it up. So in that sense that some of the evidence he presented was in fact true, but that does not mean that their sums conclude conspiracy.
I used to be a member of the Zeit movement. Then I looked deeper into the movie and realized there were many problems with the conspiracy theories.
The future that the movement is trying to accomplish is the same kind that I envision. I cannot in good faith support their movement when it is based on deceitful foundations. I support RBE, it is strickingly similar to anarcho-syndicalism, but I will not support a lie for it to become a reality.
