The chain of events as they are described in this video

is in no way an official message of TVP nor TZM

and it only represents the views of the maker of this video.

Some of the data on which I am basing this, is available online and some is based

on my personal experience in TZM while being a Movement Coordinator between 2009-2011.

Why did The Venus Project part ways with The Zeitgeist Movement?

The web is cluttered with references that can't be ignored

regarding a relationship between TVP (The Venus Project)

First it must be noted that TVP has decided to part ways with TZM.

Whether you are trying to understand the nature of the relationship

that existed between the two organizations,

why did TVP decide to part ways with TZM,

this video is likely to make things a lot clearer.

In case some of you don't know, TVP is a global organization

based on more than 75 years of study done by Jacque Fresco,

a 95 year-old industrial designer, multi-disciplinary researcher and inventor.

Jacque's involvement in science goes back to childhood.

Tremendously educated and self-taught he is considered by many

to be ahead of his time, and some people often point out

his unique perspective on society - just another testimony

of the wide range of knowledge he has acquired.

Jacque and Roxanne founded TVP in the early 1980's

although the organization had existed prior to that for several years

which also includes the transition into a "Resource-Based Economy",

which is a term that was coined by Jacque,

and is one of the main themes of his work.

27 years later, in 2007, after the success of the film "Zeitgeist"

and that is being controlled by money, religion and economic elites,

Peter Joseph, the film's creator, who was looking for solutions,

came across TVP and flew over several times

to learn about Jacque's ideas from Jacque.

The filming Peter did during those meetings

eventually became a part of the sequel of 2008

"Zeitgeist: Addendum", that in fact introduces TVP as what could solve these problems.

Since late 2008, using the release of his new film,

TZM that worked under the guidance of Peter,

It was working in affiliation with TVP from the very beginning

according to the shared agreement of Peter, Jacque and Roxanne,

under the definition: "The activist arm of TVP".

And so, TVP received the support of tens of thousands of activists

In this way, Peter has become (whether intentionally or not)

but also the main character among whoever that were interested in helping TVP.

In fact, TVP used to direct people that wanted to help them

to TZM, and you might hear them do that in some of the videos

The hopes of working together in cooperation began to weaken,

when Peter's working style started to become more apparent.

Rather than working cooperatively with Jacque and Roxanne,

Peter has come up with and worked out projects by himself

and only brought the final product for approval,

a habit that Roxanne stated she felt uncomfortable about,

since it seemed like she was bothering him with her corrections.

She felt this wasn't really working together

and it seemed like from his part, he was only fulfilling an obligation.

Eventually, Peter virtually stopped his visits at the research center.

Jacque and Roxanne had issues that they wanted to discuss in person with Peter.

They felt is was best to do this in person,

They asked him to visit many times, but it never came about.

Jacque and Roxanne were worried about this.

After all, they have allowed him to coordinate "the activism arm"

and basically run the activism meant to fulfill TVP's aims and proposals.

As time passed, it became more clear that Peter's films create quite a confusion.

Again and again, people that came across the movement,

were confused by the use of the word Zeitgeist.

The word "Zeitgeist" was associated more with the first film than the second one,

This made many people think the movement was about conspiracies and religion.

Peter didn't just ignore that risk by choosing the movement's name,

but also refused to make a clear cut distinction

between his films (and thus his opinions),

The fact he kept addressing 9\\11 issues through his radio show,

and was, in practice, the head of the movement,

didn't just confuse people interested in the movement,

but also its own activists for a very long time.

But it wasn't just the first film that was the problem.

Not only did it bring up conspiracies again,

and presented the next steps needed to be taken, in a very problematic way.

As a result, A lot of the activists didn't seem to understand

the direction of TVP or what it was really about,

which is not the technological aspects alone,
