Oliver Stone has made a living denigrating the United States. Stone’s movies are what Michael Moore would make if he had finished film school. In the world of Oliver Stone, America is always the bad guy. In Wall Street the villain was the free market. Platoon showed that America was no good in Vietnam. JFK was a conspiracy theory in which the highest elements of the United States government killed a beloved president. Stone’s latest flop is a hagiography about Hugo Chavez. Simply put, the man does not like his country.
In an interview this weekend with the Sunday Times, Oliver Stone opined on a number of topics, ranging from Iran and Israel to World War II and Hitler. Here are some choice excerpts from the article:
on Iran:
[Stone] describes America’s attitude to Iran as “horrible”. “Iran isn’t necessarily the good guy” – his incongruously dark eyebrows shoot up – “but we don’t know the full story!”
On his forthcoming 10-part documentary on WWII:
The 10-part documentary [which Stone is planning] will address Stalin and Hitler “in context”, he says. “Hitler was a Frankenstein but there was also a Dr Frankenstein. German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support.”
On the Holocaust/Israel/Jews:
He also seeks to put his [Hitler's] atrocities in proportion: “Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish people, 25 or 30m.”
Why such a focus on the Holocaust then? “The Jewish domination of the media,” he says. “There’s a major lobby in the United States. They are hard workers. They stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington. Israel has f***** up United States foreign policy for years.”
There you have the warped thinking of a very confused man.
The Left, in both film and academia, have made a concerted effort to denigrate the Allies’ heroic effort in World War II. While to most people it is still evident that the Axis powers were pure, unadulterated evil, and the Allies were the force of freedom in the War, the Left is trying to rewrite that narrative. They claim that segregated forces made the Allies the moral equivalent on the Nazis. According to the Left, the Allies holding colonies was on the same level as Nazi plans for world domination. They equate the living conditions of those in Allied colonies with those of persecuted peoples under the Nazis. The Left can never accept that The United States is the greatest force for good in world history. They have to find a way to ‘prove’ that the United States is really just as bad or worse than the true antagonist in any conflict. It takes quite a stretch to claim that the United States was responsible for Hitler, and that there is more to Hitler than the raving, genocidal lunatic that he was, but rest-assured, Stone will find a way.
Stone’s statements on the Holocaust, Jewish control of the media, and Israel are all deplorable. There is no way to justify claiming that the killing 6 million Jews can be overstated. Oliver Stone’s belief that the organized attempt to eradicate a people from the planet is not all that important in comparison to the rest of the War reveals the sick thoughts that go through his mind. The ‘Holocaust industry’ talking point come strait out of the viciously anti-Semitic Muslim world. Perhaps Stone is immersing himself in the works of Hitler in preparation for his upcoming documentary, as the claim that Jews control the media was an accusation used by the Third Reich. And of course, not anti-Semitic diatribe would be complete without a shot at the ‘all-powerful’ and subversive ‘Israel Lobby.’ Oliver Stone is a crackpot, anti-American, anti-Semitic conspiracy huckster. If the Jews really do control the media, shouldn’t his career be over?
