Zeitgeist’s author conceals his surname citing threats from viewers

Evidence

The Zeitgeist fi lms are credited to “Peter Joseph,” the fi rst and middle names of an individual who conceals his surname so as not to interfere with his freelance media work and “to protect his family from the many threats he has received since the fi rst fi lm came out.” The dramatic visual and sound effects in the two-hour fi lm place it in a very different category from the documentary style of Loose Change, and suggest the work of a media professional. — Michael Barkun, A Culture of Conspiracy, 854
