Zeitgeist is based nearly entirely on Jordan Maxwell's work. If you watch any of Jordan's videos, he always presents his information as the truth and he states that he reverse-engineered the details he has learned by "researching" the bible.
If you watch the Google Video at http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...ordan+maxwell# you will see Bill Cooper interviewing Jordan Maxwell. In the audio, Jordan gives his typical introduction to the bible facts from his "research". Bill Cooper interrupts Jordan Maxwell and asks him to confirm that the info Maxwell is presenting is what the mystery schools believe and not what is necessarily the truth. Jordan Maxwell confirms this is the case.
Here's another analysis of his work with some of Maxwell's videos from the 1980s.

In this, Maxwell states that he is a student of Madame Helena Blavatski, who wrote several texts on what the mystery schools believe and the esoteric wisdom in the bible and other religious texts.
This information is 100% contrary to what Maxwell is saying in his recent interviews, namely the Camelot one.
In addition, Jordan Maxwell works with Zacharia Stichin who has introduced the Nbiru theory and has some interesting ideas on the bible which Maxwell has endorsed. It appears that Stichin's work is also being called into question for scholarship and lack of academic honesty:

This is important because it would appear that Stichin does not have the knowledge of the languages he says he does and is just out to make a buck by doing intentional mis-interpretations of the bible.
When I get some time, I'm going to read some of Helena Blavatski's original works and correlate them with Jordan Maxwell's message, but they are nearly encyclopedia and not exactly light reading...
If anyone has studied her original works, I'd be interesting to hear your opinion on the correlation with Maxwell's work -- meaning is he just a spokesman for the mystery schools to disseminate Blavatski's work or does he have an independent thinking bone in his body?
Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that everything Christian's believe is 100% accurate, but it does call into question some of the truths of the "truth movement".

After her initiation By Mazzini, magician mentor, H.P. Blavatsky claimed she was illuminated by the Hierarchy of the Great White Lodge in 1856. After 1866, she was also under influence of Mason Victor Michal. H.Blavatsky was also initiated into the Order of Druses, the Adoptive branch of the Ancient and Primitive rite of Masonry and the Rites of Memphis and Mizraim. In Grand Orient of Adoptive Masonry, she held the highest rank, a Crowned Princess 12. With help of the Rosicrusian Masters, she started the Theosophical Society. In 1887 H. Blavatsky started a Theosophical magazine called Lucifer the light bringer which in 1922 was changed to Lucis Trust- publisher of New Age books.
J. Maxwell was also influenced by Manly P Hall, 33 degree Mason.
It may explain why Christians are agianst Zeitgeist.:
