Aug. 20-27, 2007 issue - In one of history's more absurd acts of totalitarianism, China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission. According to a statement issued by the State Administration for Religious Affairs, the law, which goes into effect next month and strictly stipulates the procedures by which one is to reincarnate, is "an important move to institutionalize management of reincarnation."

His shots are compared to Rooney's.

His grandfather sent a DVD of the youngster in action to the Premiership Champions. Sir Alex Ferguson was impressed enough to invite him to move to England and train with the club.

He is required to earn a full-time scholarship with United, which is awrded to promising 12-year old football geniuses.

Have a look at why United was impressed.

Zeitgeist was created as a not for profit expression to inspire people to start looking at the world from a more critical perspective and to understand that very often things are not what the population at large think they are. The information in Zeitgeist was established over a year long period of research and the current Source page on this site lists the sources used / referenced.
Soon, an interactive transcript will be online with detailed footnotes and links.
It's important to point out that there is a tendency to simply disbelieve things that are counter to our understanding, without the necessary research performed.
For example, some information contained in Part 1 and Part 3, specifically, is not obtained by simple keyword searches on the Internet. You have to dig deeper. For instance,very often people who look up "Horus" or "The Federal Reserve" on the Internet draw their conclusions from very general or biased sources. Online encyclopedias or text book Encyclopedias often do not contain the information contained in Zeitgeist. However, if one takes the time to read the sources provided, they will find that what is being presented is based on documented evidence. Any corrections, clarifications & further points regarding the film are found on the Clarifications page.

After Namesake here comes another movie based on one of my favorite books The Kite Runner
KEWL.....

Devi (Comics)



In the second century of mankind's arrival on earth, the Gods of light took up arms against one of their own. Bala, a fallen dark God, had rejected the old ways of the pantheon and sought to impose his dominion over mankind. Feeding off the forced worship of men Bala grew too powerful for the pantheon to combat alone. So the pure Gods each sacrificed a part of themselves to create a powerful entity.
She is Devi. A fierce feminine warrior, stronger than the Gods themselves, she is reincarnated into the body of a human woman each time a great threat faces the Pantheon. She is the champion of the heavens, and the protector of man.

I have read till volume 11 and searching fiercely to get my hands on the next addition, brains behind this project are as big as our own Shekhar Kapoor.

A shot in the dark (Original post by Falstaff)

A shot in the dark (Original post by Falstaff)

"You killed him!"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Does it matter?"

"Of course it matters! You can't just kill a man!"

"I just did."

"Well, yes, but there has to be a reason."

"Why?"

"Well, because, there always is."

"Is there?"

"Yes"

"Always?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I mean, I guess. Maybe not a rational reason, perhaps, but a reason."

"Like, for instance, I could be a deranged psychopath."

"Yes."

"Do you think I'm a deranged psychopath?"

"No. Which is why I'm asking you for a reason."

"All right, let's say there is a reason. Would it make him less dead if there was one?"

"No, but..."

"Would it make it okay for me to have killed him if I did have a reason?"

"I don't know. It would if it were a good reason."

"A good reason. I see. And who decides whether it's a good reason?"

"No one, I guess. It just is or isn't."

"Is it? What reason do you think he would have considered a good reason?"

"I don't know. Nothing, I guess."

"But you think there might be such a thing as a good reason for me to have killed him."

"There might."

"So it's a subjective thing then?"

"I guess."

"And what, in your opinion, would comprise a good reason for killing a man?"

"Well, self-defense, for a start."

"You mean if he'd been trying to kill me, for instance."

"Yes."

"But he wasn't."

"Suppose he was."

"That would be a bad thing for him to do, would it?"

"Well, yes, of course."

"A bad thing for him to kill me. But a good thing for me to kill him if he was trying to kill me?"

"Well, yes."

"How are the two different - either way you end up with one dead man."

"It's different. You were innocent. You weren't trying to kill him."

"But I did, eventually."

"Well, yes, but..."

"In fact, the only situation in which it would be justified for me to kill a man who was trying to kill me would be if I were incapable of killing a man. Any man."

"Yes. That is, I think..."

"Only then, of course, I wouldn't be able to kill him."

"I don't know! Look, dammit, there's a man lying there with a bullet through his head! This is not the time or the place for conundrums."

"Of course not. But you did ask."

"I just wanted to know why!"

"You just wanted a reason."

"Yes."

"Not because it had any consequences, only because you were uncomfortable not knowing what the reason was. In other words, you were curious."

"Yes. No. It was more than that."

"You needed to know there was a reason."

"Yes."

"So that you could fit this event into your world view. So that the universe would make sense again?"

"Yes, exactly."

"And does a universe where a man can pull a gun out of his pocket and kill another man make sense to you?"

"If he has a reason, yes."

"If he has a reason. Isn't it interesting that you're less concerned about the death of a fellow human being and more worried that you may not be able to make sense of it?"

"If you put it that way. But..."

"It is that way. Has it occurred to you that you might be next?"

"What?"

"Isn't that why you really want to know why I killed him? To see if I'm likely to kill you next. To see if the same reasons apply."

[silence]

"Yes, I suppose."

"Would it help you to know if I was going to kill you next."

"Yes."

"Why? How would the knowledge help you? What would you do if I was going to kill you in a minute? What could you do?"

"I don't know...something."

"Pray? Attack me?"

"Either. Both."

"I have a gun. You'd never make it."

"I could try."

"How would that help if you didn't make it?"

"What could I do?"

"Nothing."

"I'd still want to know, though."

"Would you?"

"Yes."

"Do you?"

"Yes."

"Ask me then."

"Are you going to kill me?"

[sound of gunshot]

"Does that answer your question?"
