Zeitgeist Theory: America as Factory Farm

According to the Zeitgeist movie, the Fat Cats of the Federal Reserve System want the masses to be inundated by mindless media and remain under-educated, malnourished, and complacent.

The United States of America is being run like a factory farm. The general population are the livestock whose families were herded into the suburbs since the end of WWII, who cannot afford drug care (it's not really health care, is it?), and are being fed Frankenfood - fast and slow. And what is a bored suburbanite to do? They do what the power-concentrated media tell them to do...GO TO THE SHOPPING MALL!! Overconsumption is what makes the Almighty American Dollar happy. The fate of American children is predetermined: to be raised as a consumer, and produce and raise even more consumers.

In turn, all this consumption pretties the guise of a bullish American economy and a dreamy entrepreneurial-dom, all the while plushly lining the pockets of the upper echelon.

The American people cannot remain unaware. It is a matter of not overconsuming, of consuming to meet needs, and consuming wisely.
