Now before you say Oh Can’t be….
Everything you are about to read can be found on the net. I have to give credit to David Horowitz for doing the bulk of this work..
Stone was Born in New York City in September 1946, Oliver Stone is one of the world's most prominent movie directors and a vehement critic of American foreign policy, and makes money hand over fist here in America. Stone enrolled at Yale University in 1965 but dropped out after his freshman year. From April 1967 to November 1968, he served as an infantryman in the U.S. Army, where he specifically requested to be assigned to combat duty.After his stint in the military, Stone attended the New York University film school, where he was mentored by the legendary director/producer Martin Scorsese. Stone graduated in 1971 and soon thereafter launched his cinematic career. His first full-length movie was Seizure (1974).By the early 1970s, Stone had developed strong anti-war convictions. Two of his films, Platoon (1986) and Born on the Fourth of July (1989) -- both of which dealt with the Vietnam War -- portrayed the U.S. military as a villainous entity composed disproportionately of men whose dubious morals predisposed them to indiscriminately gun down enemy soldiers and unarmed civilians alike. I have a completely different view of the people that served in Vietnam, I am Veteran of the 25th Infantry Division and never met anyone like the derelict fools he depicts in the movie Platoon. The dishonors he shows the 25th I.D. and all Veterans of that war is Despicable. The movie Born on the Forth of July is about the U.S. Marine Corps. NO HIGHER HONOR THEN A UNITED STATES MARINE. I’ll leave it at that. Much of Stone's work is, like the films cited in the preceding paragraph, unabashedly political in nature. He tackles projects of both historical relevance and fantasy, often addressing the recurring themes of conspiracy, power, greed, violence, and of course war. He uses the medium of film as a political tool, pushing a leftist agenda while expressing his overt contempt for conservatives specifically, and for myriad facets of American culture generally.Stone's historical revisionism is evident in those movies he has made that center on events of the 1960s and 1970s. In his 1991 film JFK, Stone concludes that President Kennedy was killed by conspiring factions of CIA officers, Cuban refugees, Texas oil tycoons, and rogue U.S. military personnel. In his 1995 film Nixon, Stone connects the eponymous President to the assassination of Kennedy. The only other people he did not blame in the movie was Archie Bunker and Beaver Clever.Other Stone-directed movies of the 1990s, including The Doors and Natural Born Killers, explored the themes of excess and drug use -- subjects with which Stone himself was familiar, having been addicted to cocaine in the 1970s.In the wake of 9/11, Stone opined that the terrorist hijackers had acted not as unprovoked aggressors, but rather in retaliation against American arrogance and corporate greed. "I think the revolt of September 11th was about 'F--- you! F--- your order,'" he said. (Deep Thinking here..)Stone also accused the U.S. government of having purposely allowed Osama bin Laden to escape unharmed while pretending to be hot on his trail. "Bin Laden," said Stone, "was completely protected by the oil companies in this country who told [President] Bush not to go after him because it would piss off the Saudis."In 2002 Stone was a signatory to Not In Our Name's "Statement of Conscience," an anti-war declaration whose signers pledged "to resist the [U.S.] policies ... which pose grave dangers to the people of the world." Not In Our Name was a project of the Maoist agitator C. Clark Kissinger and the Revolutionary Communist Party.In 2003 Stone directed Comandante, a documentary study (for HBO television) of Fidel Castro. For the making of this film, Stone was granted thirty hours of interview time with the Cuban dictator, whom he would later describe as someone "[w]e should look to … as one of the Earth's wisest people, one of the people we should consult.” Well now we don’t have to because we have a communist dictator in the white House Now.Comandante portrayed Castro as a sympathetic figure. HBO, however, cancelled the film's scheduled airing in the spring of 2003, after 80 human-rights activists in Cuba had been sentenced to prison terms of 20 years or more -- for speaking out against abuses by the Castro regime.Undeterred, Stone returned to Cuba in May 2003 to film Looking for Fidel, which retained an admiring tone toward Castro. In a television interview following the movie's release, Charlie Rose asked Stone about objections that some critics had raised vis a vis Castro's human-rights violations. Stone replied: "I can't answer the question because, frankly, I don't know the answer…. Human rights is a very, very delicate [concept]. It goes both ways. I mean, there can be those people who are authentically violated and those people who are not, those people who are supported by the United States financially and those who are not." I think our rights are violated when we have to hear this loon speak..Also in 2003, Stone directed Persona Non Grata, a sympathetic documentary (again for HBO) about the Palestinian leader and longtime international terrorist and pedophile, Yasser Arafat. Arafat recently had been placed under house arrest by the Israeli Defense Forces, in retaliation for his repeated failure to discourage Arab terrorism. Stone nonetheless paid a friendly visit to Arafat in the latter's Ramallah compound. While he was in the region, the director also visited with Ramallah's leading Hamas chieftain, Hassan Yussef. Talk about friends in low places.. After the release of Persona Non Grata, Stone explained that he had made the film in order to ask Arafat about his "long-term classical values: what your life was like, what the meaning of your suffering was, what regrets you have.” Some one should have asked how many little boys did he violate. In an interview with famed Hollywood Variety columnist Army Archerd, Stone said that after having made this movie, he now understood why suicide bombers "feel the way they do." "The Israelis have no business in the West Bank," Stone elaborated. "The [Jewish] settlements have to be gotten out of the West Bank." And where did you get you diplomatic credentials from??? In 2003 Stone lent his name to a statement condemning the Smithsonian Institution's plan to exhibit the Enola Gay, the B-29 Superfortress used in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. Stone and his fellow 250+ signers -- among whom were Noam Chomsky, Martin Sheen, Norman Lear, and Pete Seeger -- were opposed to the aircraft being regarded in a "celebratory" manner. I guess it doesn’t matter that the dropping of the Atom Bombs SAVED WELL OVER ONE MILLION LIVES. In 2006 Stone released his film World Trade Center, which centered around two Port Authority police officers who became trapped under the rubble of New York's fallen Twin Towers on 9/11. At a press conference connected to the film's premier at the San Sebastian International Film Festival, Stone publicly announced that he was "ashamed for my country." And you though it was just Michelle Oboma, He added: "We [America] have destroyed the world in the name of security ... From September 12 on, the incident was politicized and it has polarized the entire world. It is a shame because it is a waste of energy to see that the entire world five years later is still convulsed in the grip of 9/11. It's a waste of energy away from things that do matter, which is [sic] poverty, death, disease, the planet itself, and fixing things in our own homes rather than fighting wars with others. Mr. Bush has set America back ten years, maybe more ... We did not fight back in the same way that the British fought the IRA or the Spanish government fought the Basques here. Terrorism is a manageable action. It can be lived with." We were a lot safer under Bush, rather then this bowing and bumbling fool, that is trying to be a man, or trying to fill a mans shoes, in the white house.At a Moscow press conference in September 2006, Stone hinted that he might make another film suggesting that the Bush administration had been intimately involved in the planning and execution of 9/11. "There is a great story in a movie, a conspiracy by a group of people in the American administration who have an agenda and who used 9/11 to further that agenda," he told journalists. Stone accused President Bush of exploiting 9/11 to stoke Americans' fear and bolster his own power in a manner that was "right out of George Orwell."In 2008 Stone was one of more than 560 celebrities, scholars, journalists, politicians, and organizations to sign a petition asking the federal government to grant clemency to Leonard Peltier, an American Indian rights activist convicted of murdering two FBI agents in 1975. Among Stone's fellow signatories were Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, and the American Friends Service Committee.Stone is also a supporter of Mumia Abu Jamal, a leftist icon and former Black Panther convicted of the 1981 murder of Philadelphia policeman Daniel Faulkner.In a January 2008 interview with The Observer, Stone expressed support for the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), a Marxist-Leninist guerrilla group designated as a terrorist organization by both the European Union and the United States. Said Stone: Is there a terrorist out there that this clown doesn’t love. "I do think that by the standards of Western civilization they [FARC] go too far; they kidnap innocent people. On the other hand, they're fighting a desperate battle against highly financed, American-supported forces who have been terrorizing the countryside for years and kill most of the people. FARC is fighting back as best it can, and grabbing hostages is the fashion in which they can finance themselves and try to achieve their goals, which are difficult. They're a peasant army; I see them as a Zapata-like army. I think they are heroic to fight for what they believe in and die for it, as was Castro in the hills of Cuba." That same month, Stone collaborated with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a FARC sympathizer, in brokering a deal which called for the guerrilla group to release three hostages as a gesture of good faith. Stone described Chavez as "an honest man, a strong man and a soldier." Now if your going to look up to some one as a mentor or a father figure, some one with honor and dignity, It would definitely be a Marxist murdering, violator of human rights like the pig faced Hugo Chavez. NO???!!!! In March 2008 Stone, along with actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, was named as a judge in a MoveOn.org advertising contest designed to promote the presidential candidacy of Senator Barack Obama.In October 2008, during the height of the presidential election season, Stone released his film on the life and presidency of George W. Bush, simply titled W. Starring Barbra Streisand's stepson, Josh Brolin, as President Bush, the movie portrays Bush as a petty, profane, religious zealot.Over the years, Stone has made campaign contributions to a number of political candidates, most notably Jesse Jackson, Barbara Boxer, Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Al Gore, Ralph Nader, John Edwards, and Barack Obama.So why do we send our hard earned money to this Holly Wood Communist? He hates us, and our way of life. He hates the United States as a representative republic. He hates capitalism, Stop sending YOUR money to this communist; we can live with out him..
