Oliver Stone-lone maverick film maker

[Thoth II]

Watched Stone's masterwork in HD for the first time in 20 years recently, and it awed me:  hard truth telling to a mass market, well done scores and cinetography.  It got me thinking about the contrast with the sickening Michael Shermer/Gary Mack/et al disinfo-ographies aired on of all places channels with lofty names like History.com (isn't history supposed to be apolitical?) , NatGeoTV.com, etc.  What a world we'd have if cable TV could put its marvels to work producing a ten year series of honest , well made docs on 911, JFK, Wellstone, etc.  What a wonderful world of truth this technology would then be contributing too (and maybe the production company workers would then start making 75% of their corporate CEO's salary and participate into 90% of corporate decisions).   Imagine what all these resources and inventions in this world could do if people started using them, instead of just a few and their pathological henchmen.

Are you talking about "JFK"?

Stone was interviewed on cspan in January on his book "on History" :  when talking about the survellaince state under Obama he said "I find this very scary". Spend an hour with Oliver watching his view of recent history through his maverick cinetography.

Occupy Grassy Knoll 2013:  over at Dr. Fetzer's blog, he has an article quote:

"Young people would be idiots to believe what government tells them and fools not to question and debate every single thing they see and hear in the monopoly media. We should all be repelled and infuriated by what Dallas City Hall is trying to do, not simply with regard to the Kennedy assassination but for what it means to speech and freedom." by Jim Schutze

Well to think rationally about the world, the young should take courses in scientific method.  I had someone show me her text Pinet, "Oceanography", in which it stated the spirit of scientific method, I wish they would take this to heart:

"STATEMENTS MADE BY SCIENTISTS ARE NOT MERELY RANDOM OPINIONS ABOUT WORKINGS OF THE WORLD.  RATHER THEY ARE LOGICAL EXPLANATIONS USING HYPOTHESES THAT ARE GROUNDED SOLIDLY ON OBSERVATION AND TESTED RIGOROUSLY".

If they understand how to think like this, then all the BS the govt. spews out would be obvious to them what it is:  crowd control propaganda, and if they thought like this, their spirits would rebel.  Why should our gennext and our children's be held hostage to a few pathological leaders?
