Hitler, Jews, War, Media, Israel… Just Another Chat With Oliver Stone

Engaged (and engaging) as Oliver Stone was in his recent chat with Movieline, I can tell you he knows how to put an interviewer on the defensive. But he can also make you laugh! Or wince. Or wince and laugh. Or maybe just wince. Depends on your mood I guess — and exactly what he said about the Jews, Hitler, Russia, Israel, WWII and the media this time around.
In fairness to Stone, the source of the article currently making the rounds — about his docs South of the Border and his forthcoming Secret History of America, among other subjects — is behind a paywall at the Sunday Times of London. But Cinematical got a hold of it, citing a few winners of Secret History’s delightful, conspiracy-minded revisionism:

Hitler was “an easy scapegoat.” He also said, “We can’t judge people as only ‘bad’ or ‘good’. [Hitler] is the product of a series of actions. It’s cause and effect. People in America don’t know the connection between WWI and WWII.” […]

“Hitler was a Frankenstein but there was also a Dr. Frankenstein. German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support.” While none of those companies wrote Mein Kampf or were filmed leading enormous rallies such as in Triumph of the Will, there is of course some of truth to Stone’s statements. Companies like Ford and General Motors have been investigated for collaborating with and/or profiting from World War II, and Ford and Hitler supposedly enjoyed a mutual admiration, according to Henry Ford and the Jews. Hitler even presented Ford with the Grand Service Cross of the Supreme Order of the German Eagle in 1938.

However, Stone goes even further in this interview, dredging up that old chestnut we love, the “Jews Run the Media” conspiracy. The reason that Hitler was demonized and certain aspects of the Holocaust are overlooked — “Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish people, 25 or 30m,” says Stone — is that the Jews in the media don’t allow for open discussion. “The Jewish domination of the media,” is how he put it[. …]

“There’s a major lobby in the United States. They are hard workers. They stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington. Israel has f***** up United States foreign policy for years.”

And so on. I’m waiting for the follow-up — that “You make me wanna smooooke” moment — that will really elevate Stone into the rare air that knows from Jewish world domination. Wall Street 2 press tour, anybody?
