Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.70,0:00:39.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I am Franky. I am from the Chapter Frankfurt.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.20,0:00:45.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I coordinate the German Chapters and I advocate The Zeitgeist Movement (TZM).
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.00,0:00:58.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I got to know The Zeitgeist Movement (TZM) by watching the film 'Zeitgeist', following 'Zeitgeist: Addendum'.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.00,0:01:03.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I answered a lot of questions myself, which were brought up by the films.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.50,0:01:07.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I realised that something has to be done.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.50,0:01:15.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We live on a planet with finite resources and are using an economic system which moves in a totally unsustainable direction.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.00,0:01:17.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hence I have to do something
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.50,0:01:25.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and The Zeitgeist Movement (TZM) is oriented in the right direction and it offers the general framework to shape the world for the better.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.40,0:01:51.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I am advocating a Resource Based Economy
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.60,0:01:54.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because in the capitalistic system we live under
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.80,0:01:56.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,everything is assessed by money.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.90,0:02:00.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is totally unsustainable and even illogically within itself.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.80,0:02:02.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As long as you assess everything by money,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.50,0:02:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all things that are abundant, efficient, available on a large scale or sustainable
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.00,0:02:11.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,do not create profit.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.00,0:02:19.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hence it is profitable to run things short, it is profitable to produce unsustainable goods
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.80,0:02:23.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,only to perpetuate the system and to keep it going.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.00,0:02:26.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The system which we support today - assessing everything by money -
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.60,0:02:31.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is not in accordance with nature, hence not in accordance with the planet
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.50,0:02:36.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and therefore not in accordance with us humans, living on this planet.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.00,0:03:15.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The Zeitgeist Movement (TZM) in Germany is challenged by the same difficulties as in every other country.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.80,0:03:20.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[At the beginning] there were a lot of people which were enthusiastic because of the ideas [presented].
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.50,0:03:24.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To create some structures for bringing these people together,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.60,0:03:28.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make them learn to communicate and to work with each other,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.20,0:03:30.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was one of the biggest challenges until now.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.40,0:03:33.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, we bring in some structures.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.20,0:03:38.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Myself as well, together with a team, we coordinate the German speaking Chapters.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.00,0:03:45.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thus we organised several activities to move forward with TZM and to spread awareness for these problems.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.60,0:03:51.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To name some activities: Among others there was the World Lecture Tour of The Venus Project in Munich in August 2010,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.60,0:03:56.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the premiere of 'Zeitgeist: Moving Forward' in January 2011,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.60,0:04:02.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the ZDAY which took place in Frankfurt in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.30,0:04:10.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These activities intent to create awareness for the people to connect each other more, to communicate more and to realise
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.60,0:04:13.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that they are all in the same team.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.60,0:04:24.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You see a lot of flyers spread on the table, which are evidence, that we are already doing numerous things.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.60,0:04:31.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The task is bringing the movement from the online-based to the offline-based [physical] world.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.90,0:04:38.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Therefore, we use various flyers, reaching from money-bills dropped on the floor to get people aware of the monetary system,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.00,0:04:43.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,over DVDs, flyers which explain our economic system in a very simple way,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.50,0:04:49.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,over the introduction of The Venus Project, to the free distribution of the films ...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.60,0:04:59.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All of these were created with huge efforts cooperating with many other freethinkers in Germany.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.60,0:05:03.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Therefore much love to everyone listening out there.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:09.00,0:06:14.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Something short about the events of TZM:
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.20,0:06:23.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First of all, the ZDAY which takes place in the mid of March every year - the Zeitgeist-Day;
Dialogue: 0,0:06:23.70,0:06:34.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,regarding organising the ZDAY, it's in the responsibility of every Chapter, meaning the proactive members, to create something together.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:35.00,0:06:40.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example we've organised a big jam-session in Frankfurt in 2010.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:40.20,0:06:47.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A lot of musicians came together in the public to spread the name of TZM.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.50,0:06:57.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The World Lecture Tour was one of the events organised in cooperation between the German and the Austrian TZM.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:58.00,0:07:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here as well it were just a few proactive people at the beginning who despite all barriers
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.00,0:07:11.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and despite the fact that they never met each other before to work together,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:11.00,0:07:16.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they got something going and even were able to get Jacque Fresco to Munich/Germany
Dialogue: 0,0:07:16.00,0:07:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to present his ideas to a larger audience.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:19.00,0:07:22.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And last but not least
Dialogue: 0,0:07:22.00,0:07:27.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to mention the premiere of 'Zeitgeist: Moving Forward'
Dialogue: 0,0:07:27.00,0:07:39.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from January 15th to the 26th, the global Chapters had the opportunity to show the film as a preview
Dialogue: 0,0:07:39.00,0:07:42.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,before it was released for free via the Internet.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:42.00,0:07:49.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here as well it was possible to work in cooperation with many small cinemas and many proactive people in Germany
Dialogue: 0,0:07:49.00,0:07:52.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to whom I have much love and gratitude for.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:52.00,0:07:58.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we had various public events within this period in Germany as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:58.20,0:08:01.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Again, many thanks to everyone participating.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:17.80,0:08:21.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Something about the future of TZM in Germany:
Dialogue: 0,0:08:21.20,0:08:27.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's important to know that we in Germany, as a so called country of the first world,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:27.40,0:08:31.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,seem to have the least demand for social change.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:31.60,0:08:35.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But even we have to face the questions:
Dialogue: 0,0:08:35.20,0:08:39.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why are there increasing uprisings in the Middle East?
Dialogue: 0,0:08:39.00,0:08:41.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why is there a debt-crisis in Greece?
Dialogue: 0,0:08:41.00,0:08:43.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why is the same starting to happen in Spain?
Dialogue: 0,0:08:43.00,0:08:45.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why is this happening in Ireland?
Dialogue: 0,0:08:45.00,0:08:46.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What about Iceland?
Dialogue: 0,0:08:46.00,0:08:51.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All these questions have to get faced even by the well looked-after Germans.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:51.80,0:08:54.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We need to face some world issues here.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:54.50,0:08:59.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We need to face those legitimate fundamental questions which get brought up by the system we live in.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:00.00,0:09:04.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Regarding The Zeitgeist Movement in Germany
Dialogue: 0,0:09:04.50,0:09:12.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there are gathering people, who are working on their own initiative in a solution-oriented way and are self-motivated,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:12.50,0:09:19.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,independent from established governmental, financial, religious and military institutions.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:20.20,0:09:30.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They simply just act, which means they come together starting projects towards social sustainability
Dialogue: 0,0:09:30.50,0:09:36.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as well as projects which are directly helping other people
Dialogue: 0,0:09:36.30,0:09:39.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which leads to the perspective to see the world with different eyes,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:39.50,0:09:46.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,changing our own values from self-interest towards an open-source-system,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:46.50,0:09:50.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a holistic type of thinking far beyond the vested interest thinking
Dialogue: 0,0:09:50.50,0:09:54.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is necessary just for materialistic consumption.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:54.50,0:09:58.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Meanwhile these projects are getting bigger
Dialogue: 0,0:09:58.50,0:10:02.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they are getting connected by TZM.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:02.50,0:10:06.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No egos anymore, because we are all in this together.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:06.40,0:10:09.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we don't change, we will die.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:23.70,0:10:26.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,About the political situation in Germany ...
Dialogue: 0,0:10:28.00,0:10:31.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It takes a while to really understand the current system by yourself -
Dialogue: 0,0:10:31.70,0:10:35.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this system which is considered natural in Germany as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:35.80,0:10:43.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I want to thank several people formerly working in the financial industry and experts
Dialogue: 0,0:10:43.20,0:10:48.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like Dirk Mueller, professor Franz Hoermann, doctor Bernd Senf
Dialogue: 0,0:10:48.00,0:10:54.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and many others warning against these logical symptoms of this system for years now
Dialogue: 0,0:10:54.60,0:11:00.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,forecasting what is happening out there right now.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:00.50,0:11:06.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Therefore thanks to the many people who had the guts to raise their voice,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:06.20,0:11:08.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,instead of letting themselves get down by their environment,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:08.60,0:11:14.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,meaning nine out of ten people that say that it can't be done.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:14.80,0:11:22.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So thanks to all freethinkers with courage.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:22.50,0:11:26.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Currently the social situation even in Germany is getting worse.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:26.90,0:11:31.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We are not in the land of Cockaigne anymore and now we feel the fact
Dialogue: 0,0:11:31.20,0:11:36.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we were not brought up to think solution-oriented.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:36.50,0:11:43.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just to put things into relation to other things like "Comparing us to another country, we are pretty well over here"
Dialogue: 0,0:11:43.00,0:11:45.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is not really thinking in solutions.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:45.00,0:11:47.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We must get away from this type of thinking
Dialogue: 0,0:11:47.00,0:11:51.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and rather start asking relevant questions like "Why does this system work the way it does?"
Dialogue: 0,0:11:51.00,0:11:54.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we need to do a life value analysis.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:08.00,0:12:12.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When it comes to the opponents of nuclear power which I support of course as well,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:14.00,0:12:19.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you should start by asking "Why is nuclear power used at all?"
Dialogue: 0,0:12:19.30,0:12:27.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, of course the answer is that sustainability, efficiency and abundance are contrary to making profit,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:27.30,0:12:32.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,meaning renewable energy sources are not really profitable.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:33.00,0:12:41.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hence within the monetary system it is profitable to use old and ramshackle sources of energy
Dialogue: 0,0:12:42.00,0:12:49.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,instead of restoring or updating them, because that costs money.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:49.00,0:12:52.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We keep using old methods to maintain profit.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:52.60,0:12:58.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We will soon experience the consequences - hopefully not -
Dialogue: 0,0:12:58.30,0:13:01.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,out of reinforcing this type of thinking that
Dialogue: 0,0:13:01.70,0:13:04.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,instead of taking action by ourselves
Dialogue: 0,0:13:04.70,0:13:09.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we still believe in existing established institutions
Dialogue: 0,0:13:09.90,0:13:16.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that are only interested in keeping things as they are.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:16.30,0:13:23.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To believe in those institutions just because they are established doesn't mean that they are on the right track.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:23.60,0:13:28.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hence nuclear power will come to an end as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:28.60,0:13:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I hope it will be sooner than later.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:30.30,0:13:37.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think, whoever saw the technical possibilities existing out there, is laughing his head off about many issues.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:47.30,0:13:55.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The transition from a monetary-based system to a resource-based economy could happen in two ways:
Dialogue: 0,0:13:55.60,0:14:00.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,By a breakdown of the system - that is happening right now -
Dialogue: 0,0:14:00.30,0:14:05.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we either did not learn to communicate and cooperate with each other before that,
Dialogue: 0,0:14:05.60,0:14:09.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to start new projects to build up a better alternative;
Dialogue: 0,0:14:10.80,0:14:21.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or by the system becoming what it is anyway, the so called "New World Order" - call it how you want to.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:21.80,0:14:32.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We tend to a surveillance state and to follow the plans which were set anyway by our established institutions.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:33.50,0:14:37.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's important to realise that it's only on us to set the initiative.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:37.50,0:14:41.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And just because there's about one 1% of the worlds population controlling everything
Dialogue: 0,0:14:41.80,0:14:46.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that doesn't mean that 99% have no power to change this.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:47.00,0:14:51.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Insofar we shall turn things around and realise our potential.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:51.30,0:14:55.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We shall understand who and what we are, hence what power we have.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:55.50,0:15:02.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sooner or later in one way or another we will end up in a resource-based economy;
Dialogue: 0,0:15:02.00,0:15:07.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we will get back to the basics on this planet and realise
Dialogue: 0,0:15:07.80,0:15:12.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that only in symbiosis with this planet we can live (again).
Dialogue: 0,0:15:55.20,0:15:57.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My message to the world out there is
