And what will the flyers say?

The MK Chapter has a history of religious and new age affiliations not to mention political ones too - uncut etc.

How are you representing TZM as an intellectual argument and not as an anarchic ideal. Clearly you are not as you have not thought about it nor realised that TZM is not political.

Do not compromise TZM. You are by asking "make up some flyers". No TZM understandings are clear

MISSION STATEMENT [Updated April 24th '11]

TZM message is clear even to the last.

Up and Coming MK Activism 30 June 2011

The NUT and ATL are advertising a rally in Campbell Park at 12pm on the day they are striking against pension cuts - June 30th.

PCS and UCU members are also striking on this day in what is the biggest coordinated industrial action the UK has seen in a long time.

I think it is important that as many people as possible show their solidarity both by attending the rally and also visiting picket lines in the morning..... Members from the MK Zeitgeist chapter are going to be attending to show support.

TZM is not a political movement...

Mr Deathcare

If you are going along to provide information for a future beyond politics and monetary economics I support you. It sounds not and you are taking a party political view. How does this help the TZM cause? It has no agreed solution to the current economic issues, it never will have has as this is the 'cancer' of a monetary economics society.

Correct me if I have misunderstood. You seem to have.

Hey Mrjonno, Hope you are

Hey Mrjonno,

Hope you are well, just reading through the posts on the MK page.
What is the TZM cause?
The idea of the TZM is to try and forge relationships with all groups that are advocating change. Its not TZM that will be implementing the RBE it will be all. And there are groups out there doing more in the public eye to help bring change, so it makes sense to find our common ground and work together.
We can't have a narrow approach to bringing about change.
TZM doesn't have an agreed solution either dude, we are advocating change and educating people on whats wrong with society and offering a technological solution. But before we get there we need to change the values of the people. And this can only be achieved through working with others.
We all need to be doing what Mr Deathcare is doing, to be honest he is doing more than most, from bee keeping, gardening, activism and forging relationships with other groups.

I for one Salute Lee for his efforts.

TZM does have a defined cause

Hi Zen

I'm doing well thanks, hope you are too.

The TZM cause is defined by the mission statement and it explicity defines itself as having no political alleigances. It's on the home page of the global site - http://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com/joomla/

Be good if we could all be reading from the same hymn sheet, so to speak. What we do now at the emergence of our cause is vital to its long term growth and maturity. If we have try to disassociate it from politics and anarchy all we've done is score an own goal.

I salute Lee for his intent too but am far from convinced that he's on the same sheet as that that defines the whole global movement, this goes for some of the other UK contributors too.

Regards
Jon

sniping

Jonathan,

Instead of trying to stir up more trouble with your little comments, why dont you actually come and participate in the activism we have planned instead of just passing judgement? You have not attended our weekly chapter meetings so you have no idea of what we are doing or have planned. Everyone in our regular chapter membership knows your thoughts on activism and your reluctance to get involved out on the street so please do not diss out attempts at activism, and your comment about "I salute Lee for his intent too but am far from convinced that he's on the same sheet as that that defines the whole global movement, this goes for some of the other UK contributors too."..... What makes you think we have to convince you of anything???

Yes you have misunderstood,

Yes you have misunderstood, we are showing support to other groups in the hopes that we can do a little networking of our own, there is no politics involved in doing this, we are just supporting those that are making a stand. Something that has been recently discussed at the MK Zeitgiest meetings.

I don't believe I have misunderstood.

You are not going to promote TZM directly but to show support to other groups. This is what you are saying. Yes? PJ does not align TZM to political or monetary economic parties or groups. You have my full support if you are going there to be politically impartial and show TZM as an alternative but it sounds not. TZM stands a big risk of deformation of message and intent if it perceived as advocating specific political standpoints or worse, anarchy.

Regards
Jon

Anyone up for starting a new MK group meeting?

I'm still very enthusiastic about the TZM message and believe it is worth spreading. I've been going to local interest groups that I think would get the idea, MKHA, MK Skeptics and some others that I think would be receptive. Once I'm accepted I'm intending to introduce the RBE concept. Also once MK has an established and coherent TZM chapter.

This is a call to anyone who believes they are conversant with TZM/TVP understandings and also wants to encourage others in these. Send me a PM and we can sort something out.

MK Chapter has had a bit of a false start but the message is far too important to be without a local presence.

Hope to hear back.

Take care people.

Jonathan

New Recruits...

I've been along to the Milton Keynes Humanist Association meeting this evening on a second visit. The demographic and age group surprised me - middle age plus with a few exceptions, but the feel is incredibly dynamic. Quotes from 'New Scientist', incredibly receptive and open to debating new ideas and a cup of tea with biscuits which makes the whole event welcoming and inclusive. The talks are thought provoking and involving. We can learn from this and incorporate it within our local presence.

Significantly for TZM I have spoken with the chairman of the MKHA and provided him with ZMF DVD and the understandings statements which are closely aligned to those of the HA.

I'm hoping to be able to talk to the group about the RBE. This could be significant. if the presentation and method is the appropriate one...

Take care people

MK moving forward - Need your input

MK group is 6 meetings old now and we have a trend of growth (unlike the 'economy' - "which is fake anyway"). We need to be coherent and effective and I believe an agenda is essential at this time. I'm going to work on one and publish it for the group to respond to. Be good to get suggestions as to what you would like to experiece in our 1or so hour slot on Wednesday evenings.

We're going to try and get some media display available so that presentations and videos can become part of the experience.

Take care

MK Meeting

Hi adagioforstrings

Apologies for the lack of date. I believe the confusion was from me in making an announcement by stating the day but not the date. We had our first meeting this evening at the Woughton Centre. The day is Wednesday and tonight we had two really enthusiastic local members who should be coming along on a regular basis. I'm going to make another group announcement to declare the success of the first meeting so as to encourage the rest of the 'riders' along to share.

Look forward to meeting you!

Best regards

Jonathan

PS. Yes the site is difficult - I complained once but thought against it after realising that this is not yet the RBE paradigm.

MK Meeting

Morning Jonathan

Glad to hear that the first meeting went well!

Weekdays generally might turn out to be a bit difficult for me to be honest, I was hoping that maybe the weekend was an option however I'll do my best to get there next week. The reason for this is that my job sometimes involves pretty long hours and I work in Wellingborough and live in Irthlingborough so still have a bit of a journey to make once finished.

I'm still a bit unsure about how effective we can be and I have a few reservations about how receptive people are going to be - especially with the cheesy ending to the last film and this massive jump to a RBE. Having said that I'm at a point where I'm getting so frustrated with the injustice of the current system that I do need a release and I definitely need to talk to some like minded people.

Cheers

Paul

You're absolutely right. We're trying to organise our first chapter meeting at the moment. It will just be a casual get-together to meet each other and familiarise ourselves with other members in Milton Keynes. This our next step.

Hello and welcome to the

Hello and welcome to the Movement and our group chapter! It's good to know you're enthusiastic and happy to be involved. Any events and meets will be posted on this group and will try to give at least a week's notice. Feel free to browse the websites and I encourage you (and all) to check out the Zeitgeist Movement TeamSpeak server. It tends to be a bit more busier nowadays, more people are using it.

Hi guys, Just wanted to say hello, I only heard of the Zeitgeist Movement the other day and was so blown away by Zeitgeist Addendum that i wanted to find out more and have been readily sharing the movie with my friends. I now run The Zeitgeist Movement on Paltalk messenger.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Movement, I take it you are in the Milton Keynes area? I'm glad you found Addendum inspiring, there is plenty of Zeitgeist Movement related media out there which is great for our goal of educating people. It's good to hear you've started a chat-room, it's this kind of autonomous action that keeps the Movement running smoothly! If you know anyone that might be interested in joining the chapter, feel free to point them in our direction. As you might have noticed, our numbers aren't brilliant yet.

Thanks,
Christian

MK Meeting

A meeting has been discussed previously, and possible locations scouted but, personally, I would like us to have some more members to merit a physical meeting. If we did have one, it would just be a casual meet-up with discussion for a few hours at a convenient time for all involved. Since this group is still fairly small, we don't have any major projects or plans yet. Since the main goal of the Movement is education and creating critical mass, we will obviously need to take steps to create awareness in the Milton Keynes area. For this, we'd need to work together to think of ideas and take action as a group. I hope this answers your question?

Call to arms

Not seen anything for a while on this group. I'm still proactive for something to happen for TZM here in MK. Not sure if anyone has listened to the latest PJ blogs by way of lectures but I would recommend as essential listening. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/peter-joseph

PJ is advocating something along the lines of the civil rights movement where we need actual people to participate and not internet numbers. I believe he is right. Public opinion is only swayed by public events. Sadly the majority just watch tv and think that soaps are the reality.

I go to the gym and swim at Stantonbury Campus. I've been dropping Addendum DVDs into the members book which have been taken... More to the point I have identified an area in the leisure center above the bar and common floor that could be used for an initial meeting point. It says over 18 only but I can't see that this is enforced.

Any takers? Suggest Monday 20.00. Let me know if you are interested let me know by reply or private message. More than happy to make myself available for this and to spread the word.

Nice to meet you

Hey, mrjonno, my name is Christian, I'm living in Bletchley. I'm ecstatic to see your enthusiasm and I'm glad to have you on board! Simon pointed me in this direction, because it would be good to try and kick start a Milton Keynes chapter. If you're still interested, I look forward to hearing from you. You can reach me on: [email protected]

All the best,
