Hack, hack, hack. Who hacked? Who cares? Address the content of those emails, not who might have hacked them. It’s a simple attempt at diversion by liberals.

I went back and checked.

This GARBAGE about Russia started hit FR around 10/8/16 and we have been calling BULLSHIT on it ever since.

I’m not sure which crop of Wikileaks emails had just hit, but the argument back then was: “MAYBE THE RUSSIANS MODIFIED THESE. THEY CAN’T BE TRUSTED.”

The story morphed several times.

Oliver Stone does not need to worry about Trump or his supporters EVER falling for these Democrat/MSM lies.

They just like that narrative. He crazy! He’s unhinged! He’s impulsive! They shovel that crap out to the left-wing masses who eat it up with a spoon. That it has no bearing on reality doesn’t concern them.

If anyone was unhinged, it is the drama-anger machine called HRC.

From Oliver Stone no less. Color me shocked.


To be clear, he is siding with the Russians. That has not changed.

At first the Russian hack story was just political theater by losers who can’t admit they lost. Now we see the theater moving towards actual war with nuclear armed Russia. Even the most staunch lefties are going to begin to say, “Whoa.” Now we’ve got loon’s like McInsane actually suggesting war with Russia. This could all spin out of control.

A person who thinks everything occurs because of US government conspiracy is bound to get it right eventually.

The accusations of Russian government involvement in the release of the DNC/Podesta eMails is a red herring to divert attention from the factual information revealed about democrat scamming and cheating.

The world awaits release of the first small bit of factual proof that the Russian government actually had anything to do with the DNC/Podesta eMails or the election itself.

Waiting...

Waiting.....

Very true. Now one could say it's reached McCain levels of insanity.

Just checked Born on the Fourth of July. Oliver Stone cowrote the story with Ron Kovic. He also produced and directed it. Platoon came before that. You're correct, it is based on Oliver Stone's experience in the infantry in the VN war. The third movie in the VN war trilogy is Heaven and Heath, based on books by Le Ly who grew up in VN during the war.

Those who are sincere about their disgust with wars we had no business in since VN do not support the war mongering of O and hillary. Some although they did not endorse Trump, didn't endorse hillary, either. An example is Kucinich.

My point? There's an element among liberals who are probably not displeased the warmongers are being swept out of DC and people who know something about the military will be making responsible decisions.

And “Platoon Bravo Company” was Robert Hemphill’s, Stone’s company commander’s story. Decidedly broader, and taking in the experience from a combat leader’s experience.

Don’t worry Olivier hardly anyone outside of your bubble is that interested in this story or believes or cares about it. Maybe it’s all the talk at Hollywood parties, but here in the real world we know the truth.

Stone is a talented filmmaker and has pretty good insight into the conspiratorial nature of the political apparati.

Personally, I hope his health holds out long enough for him to make many more films.

Oliver Sone is a Buddhist, and one of his sons converted to Shia Islam. We don’t agree on religion or a lot of politics, but he is not a typical Hollywierd liberal either.
