Looking for help distributing TrueWorldHistory.info cards & stickers

[dirknb@hotmail.com]

Some of you have seen the website in my signature I set up a few months ago, www.TrueWorldHistory.info (http://www.TrueWorldHistory.info). It's basically a collection of links to various documentaries like Freedom to Fascism, Zeitgeist, Money Masters, Endgame, etc., and I added a page with quotes recently. In the next month or so I'm planning on adding a links page and a recommended books page.

I recently made some small stickers and business cards we've been tagging gas pumps with around here. They are black and just have TrueWorldHistory.info on them in white letters. Every time I go to a convenience store I park at a pump even if I'm not getting gas so I can tag it. The stickers are small and fit above or below the $$ readout nicely. That's where eyes gravitate the most on the pumps. And as painful as it is these days, everyone has to get gas. I stick the business cards in the credit card slot, and just hand them out to anyone who will take one in general.

If any of you are interested in keeping some of these in your car for gas pump stops I will be happy to send you some. Just send me an email at dirknb@hotmail.com and let me know where to send them.

Not familiar with that, but I will check it out. Leaving the house in a few, no internet access until the 18th, will look into it when I get back.

I've just been doing the same things I was doing with Liberty Cards before the Texas Primary. Credit card slots at gas pumps, the checkout at the store, every car I walk by in a parking lot, inserted into things I mail, handing them out at events, etc.

I've seen some signs and overpasses around my city tagged (ie spray painted) with "www.TrueWorldHistory.info"...Hopefully you don't condone this destruction of property, but appearently the word is getting out!

No I don't condone that at all. I've had that site up for about 7 months now, but didn't have any contact info on it until a couple of weeks ago. I got an email from the guy who did that, he says he spent 22 days in jail for it. I recommended that he not use spray paint anymore! I purposely made the stickers I'm distributing easy to remove. He said he now has his car decked out with that website address, you might see him driving around.

It's funny how the Zeitgeist movie attempts to discredit the worlds religions including Christianity....

Then the JBS overview of America quotes a bible verse at the end of their film in support of one of their conclusions... :confused:

[ionlyknowy]

what is even more laughable about that Zeitgeist movie is the inaccuracies perpetrated in the first 2/3 rds of the film.

If you go to 18:00 in the Zeitgeist movie you will see it mention a God called Mithra. They claim that it is similar to Christ of Christianity, yet existed before his time... implying that Christianity is copied from this earlier god.


Consider this:
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10402a.htm

Relation to Christianity

A similarity between Mithra and Christ struck even early observers, such as Justin, Tertullian, and other Fathers, and in recent times has been urged to prove that Christianity is but an adaptation of Mithraism, or at most the outcome of the same religious ideas and aspirations (e.g. Robertson, "Pagan Christs", 1903). Against this erroneous and unscientific procedure, which is not endorsed by the greatest living authority on Mithraism, the following considerations must be brought forward. (1) Our knowledge regarding Mithraism is very imperfect; some 600 brief inscriptions, mostly dedicatory, some 300 often fragmentary, exiguous, almost identical monuments, a few casual references in the Fathers or Acts of the Martyrs, and a brief polemic against Mithraism which the Armenian Eznig about 450 probably copied from Theodore of Mopsuestia (d. 428) who lived when Mithraism was almost a thing of the past -- these are our only sources, unless we include the Avesta in which Mithra is indeed mentioned, but which cannot be an authority for Roman Mithraism with which Christianity is compared. Our knowledge is mostly ingenious guess-work; of the real inner working of Mithraism and the sense in which it was understood by those who professed it at the advent of Christianity, we know nothing. (2) Some apparent similarities exist; but in a number of details it is quite probable that Mithraism was the borrower from Christianity. Tertullian about 200 could say: "hesterni sumus et omnia vestra implevimus" ("we are but of yesterday, yet your whole world is full of us"). It is not unnatural to suppose that a religion which filled the whole world, should have been copied at least in some details by another religion which was quite popular during the third century. Moreover the resemblances pointed out are superficial and external. Similarity in words and names is nothing; it is the sense that matters. During these centuries Christianity was coining its own technical terms, and naturally took names, terms, and expressions current in that day; and so did Mithraism. But under identical terms each system thought its own thoughts. Mithra is called a mediator; and so is Christ; but Mithra originally only in a cosmogonic or astronomical sense; Christ, being God and man, is by nature the Mediator between God and man. And so in similar instances. Mithraism had a Eucharist, but the idea of a sacred banquet is as old as the human race and existed at all ages and amongst all peoples. Mithra saved the world by sacrificing a bull; Christ by sacrificing Himself. It is hardly possible to conceive a more radical difference than that between Mithra taurochtonos and Christ crucified. Christ was born of a Virgin; there is nothing to prove that the same was believed of Mithra born from the rock. Christ was born in a cave; and Mithraists worshipped in a cave, but Mithra was born under a tree near a river. Much as been made of the presence of adoring shepherds; but their existence on sculptures has not been proven, and considering that man had not yet appeared, it is an anachronism to suppose their presence. (3) Christ was an historical personage, recently born in a well known town of Judea, and crucified under a Roman governor, whose name figured in the ordinary official lists. Mithra was an abstraction, a personification not even of the sun but of the diffused daylight; his incarnation, if such it may be called, was supposed to have happened before the creation of the human race, before all history. The small Mithraic congregations were like masonic lodges for a few and for men only and even those mostly of one class, the military; a religion that excludes the half of the human race bears no comparison to the religion of Christ. Mithraism was all comprehensive and tolerant of every other cult, the Pater Patrum himself was an adept in a number of other religions; Christianity was essential exclusive, condemning every other religion in the world, alone and unique in its majesty.

The above article actually HAS sources... the Zeitgeist movie doesnt. They make sweeping claims about various subjects with generalizations and broad assumptions. Not based on hard facts.

If I were you, I would consider pulling that movie from your website, and replacing it with the last 1/3rd of the movie.

I watched the Zeitgeist movie, and the first thing I decided to research was the Mithra god mentioned in the film. And sure enough, the movie was spewing BS.

Many people will watch this Zeitgeist movie and totally be turned off from the other documentaries on your site. They will think that they are all lies!



It's so funny how people can be so skeptical of what is seen on TV or the mass media, or from politicians... yet watch one documentary posted on google.videos and believe everything with blind faith.

Here is a good clip from the person whose work the first part of Zeitgeist was based on. http://www.stellarhousepublishing.com/zeitgeist.html



Here is a good documentary you should check out called Ring of Power, going to add it soon.

Pin them on library/community center notice boards and around the politics/history departments of your local colleges and university.

I am two hours into this five hour Ring of Power documentary--impressive so far. I think this will be one of the subversive videos I hand out marking winter solstice. :)
