Hi my name is Jenny. I have followed conspiracy science for awhile now and just decided to make an account on here. I was apart of the zeitgeist movement for awhile well me and my friend were apart of it. My friend began to suffer extreme delusions while in the zeitgeist movement to such an extent that she believed the government was out to get her and that the zeitgeist movement was the only group that could save her and nothing else. At the time my friend was suffering mentally while in the zeitgeist movement I had began to back away from the movement. My friend slowly became more delusional and stop eating.

I tried talking some sense into her but she wouldn't listen and I could get through to her at all. She lost her job because of this and didn't really care that she couldn't pay her bills. I decided to call some of her family up to help her and when they came up to see her and talk to her she wouldn't listen to them either. After her family left she was upset that i had called them and said that i was now working for the government against her. This would be the last conversation we had as she left her house and never came back. I have been trying for over 4 months to find her and I could not she's one of my best friends.

I know that's not a really good way to introduce myself but I guess the main thing that pushed me over the edge with the zeitgeist movement was the charles robinson videos. I had seen the whoispeter videos and I thought nothing of it. After seeing that peter was actually logged into his amazon account, that was proof to me that peter made and edited the videos. I have seen a lot of posts on here about that and as I myself am a hobby film maker things just do not sound right. That's what really just pushed me over the edge was the charles robinson video. If peter is willing to deceive people in who made the whoispeter video with such a tactic it puts any work he has done into question. For a small thing as to not admit that he did the interview and edited the videos it shows he's insecure about himself and really shows the extent in his film making at which he will lie.

That's about it about me for now.

Welcome.

I don't think the issue of the videos is very important. Lame, yes, if Merola interviewed himself and pretended otherwise, but there's evidence that Charles Robinson is genuine and that it happened the way Merola claims. Fine. Not really important.

What is important is that the Zeitgeist Movement is spreading conspiracy theories and conspiracy ideology. Your friend's case is very unfortunate, but it's an example of how people who push conspiracy theories can take advantage of people who might have some mental imbalance. Zeitgeist obviously didn't cause her delusions, but her involvement with the movement seems to have made them worse. I hope she recovers.

I think you'll find, Jenny, that every one of us works for the government, especially people who contribute to the site by writing articles.

Hey Jenny.

Sad story to hear, but whats most sad is its not the only story like it in regards to TZM.
There are stories of soldiers going awol, and fathers losing touch with their sons to not know where they are for over a year, stories of people leaving their jobs and giving up on society because of this ill put together 'movement' are not uncommon. Though TZM has nothing in place to deal with people or speak to these people to help them see sense, in fact they seem to promote this type of behaviour without actually considering the implications in real life.

Not only that TZM/TVP itself is nothing like what it claims to be in all respects, it makes money and has nothing to offer its members but the goal of promoting and working for it for free.

Anyway just know you are not the only ex member here and it takes time to see how ridiculous any group is once you have been involved in it.

As oreolvrs suggested, if you hear from your friend again you should set her up with some anticult groups to help ease the transition from being too involved with TZM/TVP. Also she is probably going to need some psychiatric help considering that shes having delusional fantasies about people being out to get her. Its a sad state of affairs to be in.

Welcome.

Also, isn't this the second case of people we've had coming to this site who had lost (quite literally) a family member or friend to conspiracy theories?

Yes, we get a lot of correspondence from people who have a loved one who has been overtaken by conspiracy theories.
