Oliver Stone Homage to Hugo Chavez Bombs in Venezuela

Red Square wrote:... since anti-Americanism is incompatible with common sense that guides our daily lives, people must be reminded of it every day to keep it alive. That is the burden that radical intellectuals have taken upon themselves, dispensing daily quotas of leftist clichés to the "unwashed masses" down below.

Thus, Oliver Stone is reportedly making a documentary about Hugo Chavez, whom he describes as an "energetic, principled champion of change in Latin America" and hopes, in Stone's words, to "capture the spirit of his drive to roll back U.S. influence." The ability to claim originality while working for decades from the same moth-eaten template makes Mr. Stone an Oscar-winning genius. Is there a chance that in the process of glorifying what he calls the region's "liberation from the United States," the legendary director might display authentic originality by interviewing, not a leftist, but a hero of anti-Marxist resistance? Can the devastation inflicted on Latin America by socialist policies persuade Mr. Stone to look beyond the worn-out clichés? We can only wish.

If the convention requires this "unconventional" genius to lionize America's enemies, it's what he does - not more and not less. Until recently, Stone was rumored to be considering a similar anti-American documentary with the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but the recent insurgency against this man in his own country may have convinced Stone to kill the plan as too obviously absurd.

In the heyday of the Cold War, both knowingly and unknowingly, such radical intellectuals served as a reliable conduit for anti-U.S. propaganda generated in the think tanks of Moscow. The technical details were described by a number of defectors from the Eastern Bloc intelligence agencies...

He can call it "Spawn of Spahn Ranch II".

Speaking of these fine and wonderful fierce anti-American leaders . . .


As you may have heard, Comrade Zero lent two billion taxpayer funded dollars to Petrobras, the state owned oil company of Brazil to drill offshore of Brazil's coast. What many people don't know is that before this money was loaned, Petrobras, made plans to drill off the coast of Cuba in partnership with Comrade Fidel, and I wonder if the two billion that Comrade Zero funded to Petrobras was a way for him to funnel money to his favorite Caribbean friend. After all, this is the Chicago way, isn't it?

In the meantime, Petrobras made a profit of 15 billion (which made George Soros richer).

Not only Soros but a gaggle of Obama cronies and criminal associates. Rumor has it that Rahm Emanuel will be leaving the regime this Fall. Now Obama's economic Czar is jumping ship too. I bet they both end up working in one of the many shell organizations collectively known as the "Green Energy sector" (Tides Foundation, GE, Shore Bank, Center for Progress, et al). The rats have rode this jackass President as far as he'll carry them and now they wanna cash in on the Green racket they manufactured.

Comrade Elliot, that's the problem with these posers. They never really live anywhere they happen to be. Their money insulates them from the true experience of the people. They can spend a year in any communist hellhole and never suffer the plight of the people. And if and when reality finally knocks on their door, they can afford to pack up and jet off to some new sunny clime.

Why are they so willing to promote an ideology that would surely strip them of their wealth and privilege? Because they're convinced they'll never have to actually endure it.

Perhaps if they were kidnapped off the street with only the clothes on their back and deposited in North Korea and forced to live like a peasant scratching out a meager living in the dirt, then they might have a new perspective.

Soon they will be drilling closer to Key West than the Deepwater Horizon is to Louisiana, practically! Wonder why nobody's really talking about that very much. Hm. Maybe I read it wrong. One would think that would be Very Important News, environmentally speaking & whatnot . . . not to mention that communication by smoke signals will be almost as fast as the future-ex-Internet, once we're all so CLOSE. Isn't it glorious?!!! We'll all be one big happy family here in hurricane land. Maybe we can have a beet barbecue sometime! Yes, this is VERY exciting! I can hardly wait!
