Brief Introduction
"We’re going to war — either hybrid in nature
to break the Russian state back to its 1990s subordination, or a hot war (which
will destroy our country). Our citizens should know this, but they don’t
because our media is dumbed down in support for our “respectable,” highly
aggressive government."

When fear becomes collective,
when anger becomes collective, it’s extremely dangerous. It is overwhelming…
The mass media and the military-industrial complex create a prison for us, so
we continue to think, see, and act in the same way… We need the courage to
express ourselves even when the majority is going in the opposite direction…
because a change of direction can happen only when there is a collective
awakening… Therefore, it is very important to say, ‘I am here!’ to those who
share the same kind of insight.

Oliver Stone has
penned a powerful and emotional takedown of Hillary Clinton, focusing
on her insane neocon foreign policy chops in a piece published in the Huffington
Post titled, Why
I’m for Bernie Sanders.

What follows are just
a few paragraphs, I suggest reading the entire thing:

Extracts.
Our media has credited Hillary
Clinton with “wonderful” foreign policy experience, unlike Trump, without
really noting the results of her power-mongering. She’s comparable to Condi Rice by Albright who boasted, “If we have to use force it is because we are America; we are
the indispensable nation. We stand tall and we see further than other countries
into the future.”
Hillary’s record includes supporting the
barbaric “contras” against the Nicaraguan people in the 1980s, supporting the
NATO bombing of the former Yugoslavia, supporting the ongoing Bush-Iraq War,
the ongoing Afghan mess, and as Secretary of State the destruction of the
secular state of Libya, the military coup in Honduras, and the present attempt
at “regime change” in Syria. Every
one of these situations has resulted in more extremism, more chaos in the
world, and more danger to our country. Next will be the borders of Russia,
China, and Iran. Look at the viciousness of her recent AIPAC speech (don’t say you haven’t been warned). Can we really bear to watch as Clinton
“takes our alliance [with Israel] to the next level”? Where is our sense of
proportion? Cannot the media, at the least, call her out on this extremism?
The problem, I
think, is this political miasma of “correctness” that dominates American
thinking (i.e. Trump is extreme, therefore Hillary is not).
This is why I’m praying still for Bernie
Sanders, because he’s the only one willing, at least in the name of
fiscal sanity, to cut back on our foreign interventions, bring the troops home,
and with these trillions of dollars no longer wasted on malice, try to protect
the “homeland” by actually rebuilding it and putting money into its people,
schools, and infrastructure.
Albert Camus, talking about the
doomed Spanish Civil War in the 1930s wrote, “I believe Fascism is still our
greatest enemy and its face is everywhere in our so-called “democracies.” It
was always about the moneyed interests that had the power. That is what
Fascism is and that is the danger we are in now”. Sanders is the only one who has raised his
voice against the corruption in our politics. Clinton has embraced this
corruption.
