Talk to Al Jazeera - Oliver Stone: "Petraeus is no hero"

[@dalereynolds7638]

EXCELLENT. We need more Oliver Stones, and more Al Jazeeras.

[@TheJules1003]

Oliver Stone is one of my very favorite people and knows very well what he says. I have seen him on Piers Morgan, Abby Martin, etc. I would call Oliver Stone a genius in his films and the way he speaks.

[@karinaandersen2618]

in the background I can hear the sirens, Mr Stone tells the truth & I can understand him quite well

[@queenballucci]

Oliver stone is my favorite director i hope i get to work with him

[@erad67]

Nothing wrong with having a global community. The danger is global government.

[@glennsildar]

These are the kinds of rare individuals we need to run for office.

[@charlespetersen3328]

Bravo... Great interview!

[@SFRJ82]

True intellectual

[@shelleyharris2850]

Yes, they trashed my house.

[@danzan6951]

Influencing history as well as everything else is the banking and money question which have a basis in debt for all of the industrialized countries. This, with it's component of leverage, is something that Stone and others tend to stay away from. It's a component of all things political, economic, cultural, etc. which are not part of the total equation of society's existence which needs to be added to obtain a proper perspective.

[@blinkzone1]

Well at least he shook her hand.

[@jakeenan]

Petraeus's downfall is simply power-plays and power-shifts within these military agencies. That's it. And very little has or will change within Empire as a result.

[@GrandMasterSuperPhD]

Oliverrr !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrTGolden]

What's the sense of opposing "militarization of space"? Movement in this direction simply will not be stopped. So, might as well pursue this in cooperation with major nations. Per nuclear risks, these even now are incredibly fierce. Space defense at least offers potential to make nuclear armed missiles obsolete. Technologies required to accomplish this objective would bring countless commercial benefits far beyond military applications, as well.

He ducked the question why he voted for obummer!

[@olofpalme63]

...oh, and if you're being manipulated, then you are in a state of being controlled.

[@karenjohnson6940]

This gentleman reminds me of why women love men so much.

[@92kwame]

I was weak with laughter when I head that. He can't be serious.

[@shelleyharris2850]

We'll you look at this.

[@2tonchevy]

IMO, to better answer the question "why doesnt Obama dial it back?" (in the fashion of MLK JR) two reasons: a) he has no reason to.....it does not serve his financial and social interest to do so (nor the interests of his handlers) b) if he had an emergence of conscience (witch he never will simply because he has none) his handlers would strike him down either in character or quite simply..... assassinate him. IN THIS COUNTRY PARTICULARLY , WHY IS IT ALL PROPONENTS OF PEACE ARE ASSASSINATED??

[@sertorrhenclegane]

But, that's the danger. Anything can happen if there is a global community.

[@olofpalme63]

..."a Hollywood non-conformist"?...no such thing. If you want to stay in the public view (make movies, sell books, record music, or even pursue a political career)...then you conform. I'd be inclined to agree (somewhat) with your response if Stone voted for say; Gary Johnson (or didn't vote at all), instead of some NWO/corporate bootlicker (Obama and Romney are no different in terms of the Bilderberg agenda).

[@XXGDUBSXX]

No...

[@XXGDUBSXX]

I'm actually not a huge fan of his movies, i like a few of them. And I neve claimed a smug sense of know-how either.

[@Battleganz]

Oliver Stone being interviewed by the Al Jazeera State Department correspondent about General Petraeus extramarital affair? This is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

[@sertorrhenclegane]

I refuse to be a part of the global community. Global community is just a step away from a giant Borg cube being on my front lawn. I just wish I could get my therapist to see that.

[@olofpalme63]

...you started this thread by calling me a "fool" and yet...you can't dispute anything I've written. So, you resort to name calling. ...I'd say you're the "smug" one who talks down to people.

[@shelleyharris2850]

CIA, I knew it

[@sertorrhenclegane]

Ironic, huh?

[@olofpalme63]

...and just because you're an Oliver Stone groupie doesn't make him politically enlightened. ...dink.

[@DanielMazahreh]

Oliver Stone now has done fantastic work lately such as JFK documentary, Snowden movie, and Untold History of the US.

[@erad67]

So you take to the internet to say this? :)

[@lezliealabaster7425]

Huh..

[@sertorrhenclegane]

But, to be more specific, I have no issue with the internet or anything that connects people so long as that is the only thing that connects them. To create a global community is a very dangerous idea because it runs the risk of erasing any and all individuality. I see nothing wrong with a sense of national pride or identity and yet to be a part of a global community would be detrimental to those things. What are you if you are simply a citizen of Earth? You have no individual self

[@annalisavajda252]

Well you see identity politics on line tribes cancel etc.

[@moymoy123ish]

he needs speech therapy.

22nd Century? Thats what good drugs do to your head.

[@blindedby2monkeys]

derp

[@XXGDUBSXX]

What the fuck are you talking about? Also would you mind using the word "corporate" a few more times to reinforce your binary worldview?

[@DanielMazahreh]

There’s nothing binary about legitimately using the term “corporate” that explains most of the global problems due to corporations.
