Stone has single handedly has done more damage to US empire and propaganda schemes than just about any American - ranking up there with the exposure of Mai Lai, The Family Jewels of the CIA, and the Mighty Wurlitzer article from Carl Bernstein.
Stone, Taibbi, .......Maher? That’s not far from Einstein, Feynman, .... Bill Nye.
I only post this as a reaction to Matt Taibbi’s expression of disappointment after that last Maher show. Those of us who follow you on Substack, (thank the gods for which), understand where our society sequesters it’s integrity and intellectual power. Now if we can only find an alternative to YouTube, so that Oliver Stone, Abby Martin, and the rest of our censored citizens can find their proper expression.
the Washington Post described it as a "far-right video sharing site" because they're willing to allow Russian state propaganda, despite the site having no explicit ideological affiliation aside from a general rejection of censorship.
I'm trying to figure out why you have reposted this video when you did. The last few minutes of the interview serve to discredit not only everything Stone says in the interview, but also raise serious doubt about his entire career. Was this your point? If so, you succeeded.
I’m looking for help trying to find another alternative than a subscription to Showtime to watch Mr. Stone’s work. Can anyone please give me some guidance?
The interview was illumimating and courageous. Yet it was jolting at the end to hear Oliver Stone dismiss predictions that Russia would invade Ukraine. He also dismissively said that if Russia were to invade, it could take over the country in just a few days.
Yeah, I think what we're seeing in Ukraine is how much pumping a country full of $3+ billion worth (I think it must be about $4 billion now) of weapons will change Ukraine from, "Ukraine is going to lose" to "Ukraine is going to lose and a lot more Ukrainians are going to die and a lot more of Ukraine is going to be destroyed and JUST BY CHANCE a shitton of money is going to go to the US MIC."
Useful Idiots contemporary, Bari Weiss, recently published a self-revealing poem about what she perceives as American apathy toward the Ukrainian conflict. For reference, I cut and pasted the poem and link below.
After reading Bari Weiss’ poem, two things stick out: (1) Bari Weiss misspells the word “Ukrainian” as “Ukranian.”
(2) Bari Weiss comprehends the issue of the U.S. arming the Azov Batallion much like an adolescent. It's not about whether Putin uses Neo-Nazi infiltration of Ukraine as an excuse to invade, it's about whether the American viewer/reader deserves a chance to decide for themselves whether such a cost-benefit analysis comports to their own values.

He is owed our deep gratitude and affection!
Yes plus his production stands as patent proof of a robust Russian free press

Rumble.com is the alternative to YouTube of which you speak
I’ll get myself up to date. Thanks.

It is really confusing when you call truth tellers useful idiots.
But Stone is Putin’s useful idiot

Judge for yourself:

We are losing because we are unserious.
We say: I am a brand. Follow me. Like me.
Zelensky says: I am not iconic. Ukraine is iconic.
We ask: Is America ill-gotten?
Zelensky says: Ukraine is mine.
We say: Words put us in danger.
Zelensky says: I will never surrender.
We LARP on Twitter. And work hard to get people fired for bad Halloween costumes.
Ukranians line up for guns and say: I want to defend what I love.
We take down statues of our founding fathers. Of Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson.
They say: Glory to Ukraine.
We say: there is no real truth, only power.
They say: Might does not make right.
We say: anyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi. (Which, by the way, is exactly what Putin said to justify his invasion.)
They say: We are one people, united.
I don't know why I keep reading that Ukraine on Fire has been removed from youTube.

it was removed, put back up, removed, put back up, etc
