"A Secret History of America" by Oliver Stone

My 54th birthday is on Tuesday. It's also my four year anniversary of camping at Camp Redington. Maybe I'll have a big bonfire and burn all the moldy tarps and books I rescued (too late) from the wall tent. Please feel free to send cash presents via our paypal donation button on the right. It's been a broke year and there's a few things I need to buy before winter hits next month. Plus I could sure use a case of black beer in case anyone stops by for my cookout.

I haven't had enough time lately to read all the interesting things coming into my mailbox and via comments here at the blog. Reading Manly P. Hall, and once I got past his difficult but essential lesson in the history of philosophy, I began to understand why john recommended it to me. In the meantime, even with all my growing anxiety and stress over my uncertain future and the future of my country and what's happening to the rest of the world, I keep plugging away at the gertee book as if it still matters. Gertee is possibly the hardest book I've written so far. It's impossible to keep my anti communitarian sentiments out of the text, and some days it reads just like a topic page off the ACL. I delete more than I save.

I've always been somewhat of a fan of Stone's movies, even though I was sure we disagreed politically. One Hollywood actor from Venezuela think he's a communist tool. Does Maria understand communitarianism in her home country? Still, like the hilarious Jesse Ventura series, I would really like to see this new series Stone's produced. What secrets does he reveal? Has anyone ever heard Stone use the word "communitarian?" Is he aware of the way it's sweeping South American politics? http://axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/Article_59231.shtml

Stone's being attacked by the Jewish media enforcement teams for suggesting Jews control the media. As Gilad Atzmon says, "Stone apologized for telling the truth" http://gilad.squarespace.com/writings/gilad-atzmon-oliver-stone-apologized-for-telling-the-truth.html

Oliver Stone Controversy

By BROOKS BARNES; Compiled by DAVE ITZKOFF

Published: July 26, 2010

Oliver Stone found himself the catalyst of an online brush fire on Monday after he made comments published in The Sunday Times of London that were interpreted as anti-Semitic. In an interview with The Times to promote his documentary “South of the Border,” which is about South American politics, Mr. Stone defended Hitler. “Hitler was a Frankenstein, but there was also a Dr. Frankenstein,” he said. “German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support. Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish people.” Mr. Stone then proceeded to discuss what he called “the Jewish domination of the media,” adding with an expletive that Israel had messed up “United States foreign policy for years.” Bloggers quickly picked up on the comments, and the American Jewish Committee issued a news release condemning him. “By invoking this grotesque, toxic stereotype, Oliver Stone has outed himself as an anti-Semite,” the committee’s executive director, David Harris, said in the release. Mr. Stone, whose next Hollywood movie, “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,” will be released by 20th Century Fox on Sept. 24, has stirred controversy with his comments in this arena before. In January the director told a gathering of television critics that “Hitler is an easy scapegoat” while discussing his Showtime nonfiction mini-series, “Secret History of America.” At that time the Simon Wiesenthal Center harshly rebuked him for the remarks. A spokesman for Mr. Stone was not immediately available to comment.

Did anyone hear the show Jeff Rense and Devvy Kidd did on Communitarianism?
