Oliver Stone's New Movie: "Ukraine: The CIA Coup" Coming To A Theater Near You
US filmmaker Oliver Stone is currently engaged in production of a documentary about Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych, who fled the country following the February coup last year. As Sputnik reports, Stone's Facebook page notes, "[I] Interviewed Viktor Yanukovych 4 hours in Moscow for new English language documentary produced by Ukrainians. He [Yanukovych] was the legitimate President of Ukraine until he suddenly wasn't on February 22 of this year." The outspoken director then added, "the truth is not being aired in the West... many believe foreign elements were introduced by pro-Western factions with CIA fingerprints on it."
From Oliver Stone's Facebook page,
Excuse my absence these past weeks. A combination of overwork, prepping the Snowden movie in Germany & England, a side trip to Moscow, and a devastating head cold have laid me low. Recovering over Christmas in California; winter sun helps.
Interviewed Viktor Yanukovych 4 hours in Moscow for new English language documentary produced by Ukrainians. He was the legitimate President of Ukraine until he suddenly wasn’t on February 22 of this year. Details to follow in the documentary, but it seems clear that the so-called ‘shooters’ who killed 14 police men, wounded some 85, and killed 45 protesting civilians, were outside third party agitators. Many witnesses, including Yanukovych and police officials, believe these foreign elements were introduced by pro-Western factions-- with CIA fingerprints on it.
Remember the Chavez ‘regime change’/coup of 2002 when he was temporarily ousted after pro and anti-Chavez demonstrators were fired upon by mysterious shooters in office buildings. Also resembles similar technique early this year in Venezuela when Maduro’s legally elected Government was almost toppled by violence aimed at anti-Maduro protestors. Create enough chaos, as the CIA did in Iran ‘53, Chile ‘73, and countless other coups, and the legitimate Government can be toppled. It’s America’s soft power technique called ‘Regime Change 101.’
In this case the “Maidan Massacre” was featured in Western media as the result of an unstable, brutal pro-Russian Yanukovych Government. You may recall Yanukovych went along with the February 21 deal with opposition parties and 3 EU foreign minsters to get rid of him by calling for early elections. The next day that deal was meaningless when well-armed, neo-Nazi radicals forced Yanukovych to flee the country with repeated assassination attempts. By the next day, a new pro-Western government was established and immediately recognized by the US (as in the Chavez 2002 coup).
A dirty story through and through, but in the tragic aftermath of this coup, the West has maintained the dominant narrative of “Russia in Crimea” whereas the true narrative is “USA in Ukraine.” The truth is not being aired in the West. It’s a surreal perversion of history that’s going on once again, as in Bush pre-Iraq ‘WMD’ campaign. But I believe the truth will finally come out in the West, I hope, in time to stop further insanity.
For a broader understanding, see Pepe Escobar’s analysis “The new European ‘arc of instability,’” which indicates growing turbulence in 2015, as the US cannot tolerate the idea of any rival economic entity. You might also see “Untold History” Chapter 10 where we discuss the dangers of past Empires which did not allow for the emergence of competing economic countries.

The whole of the Langley crowd is on his Facebook page, trying to convince him he's an unworthy subhuman.
Lol.
Fuck. This article didn't have the pretty pink and red fonts the last merciless, extreme, and ruthless Russia-v-Ukraine advocacy propaganda article had. Doesn't the author of this article know that every last merciless, extreme, and ruthless Russia-v-Ukraine advocacy propaganda article is a floor, not a ceiling? The fucking next merciless, extreme, and ruthless Russia-v-Ukraine advocacy propaganda article better have some pretty pink and red fonts.
Who is Stone? A movie maker who deals in fantasies. Entirely appropriate for the "USA in Ukraine" merciless, extreme, and ruthless Russia-v-Ukraine advocacy propaganda.
God. I pity you poor Russians. Well, when all you got is an over-the-hill movie maker, I guess you gotta embrace the over-the-hill movie maker.
Hey! Did you hear Woody Allen is going to make a movie about Russian clitori? Yes, it'll be called "What Russian males long -- errrr -- I mean short for"
"What Russian males long to shorten?"
Go back to loving your Obama and the military who supports and protects him.
isnt it funny when the propagandized show up and speak of propaganda?
Freddie,
Awash in propaganda as you are, and unable to critically think, you don't realize Obama is pro-Communist; ie, much more than a Communist sympathizer, but a Communist supporter.
isnt it funny when the propagandized show up and speak of propaganda?
The same to you, detached.amusement. You can't conceive of a world without pure propaganda, since, if you're Russian, you're living in a country where reality is propaganda, and vice versa. Here in the US, we have access to PsOV from all sides (eg, RealClearPolitics), and, for those of us college-educated before the radical left took over our college campuses and made them bastions of Marxism, we learned to critically think.
If you would like me to help you learn what reality is, start by reading this article. However, e warned: When reality suddenly intrudes on your propaganda-immersed brain, you will feel pain, and will keep feeling it for a long time.
Made me laugh. Once again, a cheap attempt to sell US cheap propaganda for much more than its face value.
US propaganda is getting cheaper by the day as weird as it can sound. Trouble is, propagandist creativity is such at a loss they have to tap in elsewhere fictions to get theirs. You've got to love propaganda, to be hooked on it, to find any kind of merit for his BS manifesto.
Such a disconnection with reality. US propagandists should wake up. Don't waste your energy on producing this cheap propaganda. Produce a propaganda that can be believed in.
I have an idea.
How about Stone makes a movie about the Ukraine affair and it's a comedy.
How about Stone makes a movie about the theft of Kosovo, the rape or Serbia, and the subjugation of the Balkans and it's deadly serious.
Oliver Stone will not be alive much longer if he follows through with this movie
I wish that I could take out a life insurance policy on Stone, as the payout is about as sure as Silverstein's payout was on the WTC complex.
The banksters need to repay us.
For the first time in 20 or so years, I watched Stone's film "JFK" about a month ago. Over twenty years ago I thought it interesting, now I see it as a documentary disguised as a movie. Curious why they didn't take him out back then, but he's playing with nuclear fire now.
The fact they didn't take him out says to me that he was nowhere near what actually happened, so it proved a good 'fictional history' for TPTB. Most sheeple that saw it no doubt now believe Stoned account.
After watching and reading a lot about JFK's hit the one that is making most sense to me based on ballistics and eyewitness accounts by doctors and technicians is the theory put forward in "Mortal Error", except for the accidental part. A SS agent named Hickey was in a car behind Kennedy and when Oswald shot twice he leaned down in to his car to grab an AR15. Then, he supposedly 'accidently' shot Kennedy in the back of the head as he was fumbling to bring the weapon around to shoot at Oswald.
A 6.5mm Carcano round would not likely have blown out the side of the head, but a .223 definitely would have. Just like the old boot camp demonstration where a m14 and a m16 are fired in to empty gas cans. The .308 goes through both sides where the .223 because of the energy and low penetrating ability explodes the can out to twice its size. Plus, the doctors and technician claim they were told to take fake xrays to dispel the .223 fact.
So, either it's a massive undertaking by the SS to protect one of their own, or to cover up a convenient hit.

"The fact they didn't take him out says to me that he was nowhere near what actually happened, so it proved a good 'fictional history' for TPTB. Most sheeple that saw it no doubt now believe Stoned account."
A bit like 9-11 and the "inside job" thesis ?
I just spent a month in Kyiv. I guess everyone there works for the CIA because for every single one of them, including several from Donetsk, the issue absolutely is "Russia in Crimea".
Come on...give us some specifics. Did you askbthem what they believed happened in the streets...in the coup? Did you ask them what they thought about western help for the coup? About how the previous Prez...about Russian involvement with him and their opinion...contrasting with their thoughts on CIA and such?
I mean you were in Kiev...geography makes a difference even for an eastern Uke it makes a difference in why they came to Kiev or how free they can be in speaking...although they may be on board with extolling the latest set of criminals as apposed to the last...an telling admission just the same.
Details..
DETAILS man!!! (Seems I heard that said in a movie once:-/ )
Blow Jobber,
Russia was always in Crimea, it rented it from Ukraine as a military base, when the US led coup toppled the legitimate government, Russia protected it's interests.
It gets tiring trying to explain to people things they don't want to know.
well, he gets money from the establishment.
and so will be probably the story, he is telling, tuned.
A big headline does not guarantee a correct content.
FUCK I believed this was a CIA Coup until that crackpot got involved.
excellent point.......
You may be onto something. Stone could be performing a preemptive propaganda strike. Media has not reported the millions in 'democracy' training, Victoria Nuland, the Iran/Assad/Putin pipeline connection, not even Biden's son getting on the board of directors of the nebulous Ukrainian gas company.
The media likes promoting Stone, but he is characterized with Rosie O'Donnell, as a conspiracy theory nut.
Even if Stone is a true believer, the MSM can use his reputation to cast the facts as Area 51 style fiction
The facts must have started to penetrate the media force field
The propaganda machine is being greased and oiled
Imagine if someone hacked Sony, posted the dirt, and then rode to the rescue by sanctioning N Korea
Nukes, hijacking ships, and shooting missiles over Japan didnt do it, but hacking Sony, now that's serious.
Obamaland is so full of false flags, I wouldnt put it past them
A presidential election is around the corner. Why not own the media
That is the obama constituency:media and billionaires
felix2, I think you nailed it. The truth was getting uncomfortably close, so now it's time to take back control of the narative.
I think the point is...and has always been...to tell the whole story you have to iclude what is known about the west's involvement in the coup and why. And you also have to include what the Russians have done...and why?
The answers should never be to reject or deny what both sides have done in the Ukraine. And you have to include the terror and murder caused by the fascists, the commies, and the corporatists and oligarchs of the now. It's all a question of legitimacy if your playing in the nation state system frame. Their all illegitimate outside each individual really.
The usual speculations "many believe" ...
Oliver Stone's New Movie: "Ukraine: The CIA Coup" Coming To A Torrent Download Near You.
/LOL
That film'll be quite successful in Germany. Most folks here don't believe the propaganda machine anyway, I only hope the govt knows what it's doing and doesn't believe its own lies.
No matter where you live on the planet, expressing the hope that your government knows what it is doing and is looking out for your interests is akin to appearing as the "After" photograph on an advertisement for cut-rate lobotomies.
Immutable rule of governments:
1) They look out for themselves.
2) They look out for their families.
3) They look out for their friends.
You are not them, their families, or their friends. Ergo, you need to change your government to have any hope of getting onto one of the protected categories of individuals.
Well stated, Tarabel.
But your conclusion (Ergo, you need...) was unclear.
The answer is God's kingdom; protection comes through faith in what He did for us.
http://biblehub.com/john/3-16.htm
god's kingdom is the root cause of all this shit.
Human would be much better off if the greedy prick left earth.
Everyone agrees with George Carlin when he says, "it's a big club, and you ain't in it". But as soon as any brave person cuts through the club's web of deceit and exposes a particular crime by the club, an army of trolls runs out and assassinates his character. I think the trolls are not actually in the club, but are wannabes looking for a job in the club. Beats digging ditches. Again, 75% of people are "objective", meaning that they put their personal survival before principles. So I think the the club always finds it easy to hire trolls cheaply.
and yet they keep voting, and voting the same dirtbags over and over and over again.
And if all else fails, it is very easy to end careers in Germany - just call him a Nazi, and all "friends" are suddenly vanishing. Hell, throw that Nazi in jail, he's questioning authority AND the holo claus.
Forget Germany, fucked as any other colony of the empire.
Wait, did US annexed part of Ukraine and added to its teritory, or was it Russia? Are there any rebels with US flags attacking people of Ukraine or is it Russian flags what are they holding with their "rebel" flag?
US effectively annexed most of Ukraine, hence Mr. Stone's movie.
Do you even know definition of word annexed? Because when you look at US map you don't see Crimea as US territory, you don't see US flag there and US president doesn't give new years speech about how US annexed Crimea - it's Russia. I simply look at result, a fact that can be observed by anyone. It's not opinion, it's a fact.
Note to self:
If I ever want to become a psychopath, remember some folks consider a paper map or today's electronic equivalent an "irrefutable fact."
Not at all...Crimea is Russia
Crimea seceded from Ukraine
seceded.......
Joined Russian Federation
So US annex not possible.
get it?
1.) Please name which countries has recognized Crimea as part of Russia? And give reference
2.) Please name those countries that recognized that "referendum" as legit where there was no option in which to choose that Crimea stays as part of Ukraine. And give reference.
Sorry, but I do not recognize your questions as legit.
Who actually decided (beforehand) what exactly is legit? Oh wait, I know: it must have been Bill Clinton ("that depends on what the meaning...")
The people of Crimea had a referendum with a 90% turnout and over 80% voted to be REUNITED with Russia. Those are facts. My in-law lives there and she said that there was no Russian coercion of the people during the vote at all. The fact of the matter is the people of Crimea did not want to be ruled by a bunch of Nazi's from Kiev.
BTW . . . up until sometime in the 1950's Crimea had been part of Russia for over 250 years. Khrushchev "gave" Crimea to Ukraine when both were part of the old Soviet Union.
US flag flies at the headquarters of the Ukraine security service (SBU): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UffhTyUcUwc
According to reports from insiders, the CIA occupies (that's the correct term) an entire floor of the building, where even Ukrainian nationals are not allowed in.
I read that it's the top floor.
And has US announced that Ukraine belongs to US as Russia has done with Crimea?
It's normal goverment protocol to show fag of country that official visitation at that time.
birdbrain
As soon a the US holds a referendum in Ukraine, like the one held and which succeeded in Crimea, you can make your analogy.
Until then it is just a shit on toast canape.
Not USA. EU. Same bankers.
birdbrain
The part of Ukraine that Russia annexed was a part of Russia 60 years ago.
What part of Ukraine was part of America 60 years ago?
This just another analogy you pulled out of your ass, spread on toast and ate with relish.
"Okay guys. This is news right here. Didn't see this coming. You know the drill. No free publicity, bury it, bury it deep. Put up barracades at the theaters if you have too. Revoke the license to show the doc. Whatever it takes. Johnson? You create a diversion asap. Now, MOVE."
Just how much Oliver Stone got paid with the money stolen from Ukrainian people. He gotta be ashamed of himself filming that crook. Seems like we are on the verge of armageddon when art is sold for blood money.
Where do you come up with this kind of shit?? Is is just to be controversial or what?? Comments like that are really getting old on this thread . . .
You're a good man Mr. Stone, Its refreshing to see not EVERYONES a complete brainwashed sell out.
If Oliver wants to prove he's got some stones, let him do some real documentaries. I suggest:
The Holodomor. A real holocaust perpetrated by his tribe, in contrast to the holohoax which has generated trillions in undo profits for the tribe.
Better yet how about a documentary about what the Jews did to the Germans after WWII?? I'm sure they would be willing to cooperate in that effort . . . . .
Let's ask Hunter Biden what the deal is.... send him a bag of blow and he would tell you everything! Have mercy though-- if you had a buffoon like Joe B for a dad you would need some mood alteration too....
The investors are going to lose all their money becuase this is a stupid movie.
The investors are going to lose all their money becuase this is a stupid movie.
Rather than sounding like a total blow-hard why don't you elucidate as to why you think the movie is so "stupid". Don't strain yourself.
I think Stone pulls some of his punchs as he did in his American History film unlike Zinn in his written history of America. Same with Snowden. I smell a rat somewhere because there is now a NSA related spigot controlling any future revelations. I guess there is money to be made selling books and docs about some guy who doesn't seem to care (at least we haven't heard anything from E.S.) how any of this goes down. So I'm left with big question marks about the whole episode???? Perhaps it was/is all a public conditioning exercise (Greenwald never would touch Russel Tice before but is tight with E.S? and is also tight with Sorros imitation Omidyar)with another patsy that wised up before he got caught/killed and proceeded to even the score?... or any number of other scenarios. Still the slow release of details and franchising of the story with known corporatocracy types don't add up to a true whistle blower I'd say. So how is the whole NSA revelations whistle blowing exercise working for creating debate between the governed and spied upon and those that rule and spy...yeah how's that debate coming????
Wondering where you get your rumors ...
Great imagination, to say the least.
Live with rats, smell like rats.
It don't matter anymore since 99.99% of stupid motherfuckers who have been completely brainwashed by the elites don't believe what is real.
"After Russia informed the FBI and the CIA in 2011 about Tsarnaev’s radicalization, the FBI investigated him in early 2011 and determined he was not a threat."
So let me get this straight, Russia is playing an active role in our anti-terrorism efforts and we think it is more important to mess with their regional disputes than it is to keep them as an ally in protecting our homeland?
We need most to protect the homeland from Wash DC.
I seem to recall we used to live in a Nation
Homeland is so Nazi in connotation.
DC got rid of Nation on 9/11 - concept has totally died out by now.
More's the pity, more's the shame, but propoganda seems to have worked.
Yeah, that about covers the mind-set of the Neo-Con geniuses that control US foreign policy. Sweet . . .
I commend Oliver Stone for his effort. But does anyone truly believe that his documentary will ever be viewable beyond YouTube, AlJazeera, and RT (Russia Today)??
They are preparing a Republican versus Democrat distraction right now that will bury this and anything like it. It will be the budget or immigration or something of the like. They will talk about how deeply divided the country is and the dynamics of the Republican Congress against the Democrat President. This issue will never be allowed to enter any daily discussion because the country will gripped in a great dispute that they will create.
Oliver Stone: Master of the modified limited hangout. The fact that he is still alive and making more movies proves it. If he was a real threat to TPTB he'd be dead.
Pirate Bay (Feb 1, 2015) will become Oliver Stone's next Swindlers 'Oskar Schindler' list.
/humor
We have to save Ukraine to make it safe for Chevron & Exxon.
It's our duty as Americans.
Live Leak had a press release a few weeks before Christmas showing that Chevron cancelled it $8 or 10 billion investment into Ukraine for fracking.
Chevron owns the Cailf Congressional delegation - Feinstein, Boxer, Pelosi, et al. My guess is they realized that the Ukraine was a nightmare.
I think you can find the story online.
My impression of Exxon is they are more friendly towards Russia.
Oliver Stone: Hypocritical, pandering, socialist hack weasel. He made some good movies like Wall Street but the guy is a grade A douchebag.
you fag-cant be trusted
Why don't you and the other idiots that gave me down arrows go look at what Mr. Stone had to say about Hugo Chavez. Then come back and tell me what a great man he is. Then again, with the influx os socialists and other assorted trash invading this site you'd probably agree with him.
Putin had his boy Yanukovych in from the SE Ukriane region where things were more stable for Russia somewhat & then the George H Bush's (Operation Nighingale circa 1949) Neo Nazi factions were cued up for their parts by Nuland ala Kagan (author of PNAC) & other NeoCons / Ziocons & it's on like Donkey Kong. Lethal Aid, Westinghouse Plutonium Fuel (which were incomaptable w/ Societ Reactors in Chernobyl) is being sold to Ukraine reactors in a possible setup again for another possible Black Swan Eco-Terrorism Malthusian Catasttrohe / Check etc . The Grand Game continues & Sir Halford Mackinger's geographical Pivot of Power is attempted to be usurped again. The Neo-Ottoman Lavant as well in the ME. Sea Change coming & past the Rubico into new frontiers of uncertainty, death, destruction, archetypes. last seize by the Neo modern Roman Empire that has a big "PR" problem. The agitprop, manufactured normalcy bias, manufactured consent & social hacking is so stupid it burns. Deus Vult.
Useless talkings.
Fact is, Putin really does not care much for Yanukovych
but he was better than the "Reds" triple citizens now make Ukraine peoples ruination
and he is legally elected President.
dudeface
Putin told Yanukovych not to order the army and water cannon into the Maidan. That way Russia took immediate possession of the Crimea and did not have to wait to see if Yanukovych was re-elected in the Ukrainian elections scheduled for May 2014, after Nuland spread her vaginal monies in behalf of Viktor Y's opposition.
By May 2014, Russia had enough nuclear tipped Iskanders in Crimea to insert into the bowels of Obama, Cameron, Merkel and Rasmussen, with a few left over.
President Putin is not one for wasting time.
Propaganda!
Putin will be touring Paris and sending jets over London next summer!
NATO=

Stone is a washed up hack. His supposed "real" history series on Showtime was history for the Sheople, and horribly done.
So he's crying conspiracy on Ukraine, yet produced some mindless 9/11 movie that parrots the "official story"?
you need to get your GED AND rise your IQ to at least 75 before you post your lunatic rantings here my dear cunt
Troll detector goes wild at your posts
The idiot under you is a Chavez apologist, don't mind her she'll find her way back to HuffPost one day.
If the Government is really worried about the movie, you might see some states banning it. At least then we will know for sure there is at least some element of truth to Stone's film. Also, it is possible MSM will refuse to accept adverts for it. I hope so! Any such actions will backfire exactly as it has with "The Interview" and entice people who frankly couldn't care less what happens in Ukraine to make the effort to watch it if only out of curiosity!
The Interview? I never bothered to spend 5 seconds looking for that and I never will. There is nothing I care less about than that.
And you just HAD to post to let us all know that bit of infosuck.
Should have just cut a fart and let it go at that. WGAS

Either he plays Psyops according to the script or he will end up, like Hastings, Phil Marshall (and his kids).....
the MSM produce onesided TPTB propaganda day after day....and now we have MSM little suckholes bitching that any documentary has to produce arguments for both sides.
And why does the CIA always prefer the most despotic murderous people for their regeim changes? These guys never hsppy unless they get to torture and murder bunches of innocent people. bet they video tape it for their own personal pleasure..

Perspective -- and a great read -- from Ron Paul Institute's Executive Director, Daniel McAdams:
Oliver Stone: CIA Fingerprints All Over Ukraine Couphttp://thenewsdoctors.com/?p=264026
Hat's off to Mr. Oliver Stone ....
The trouble with the sheeple is that you can explain it to them a thousand times ...
and they simply won't believe it
... until they can see it on their TVs !
... and that is why such a film is important ... thanks to Mr. Stone.
gutsy and prudent considering the empire is crumbling! Hopefully this will provide some perspective to the sheep so they know the evil their government is performing under their noses and slying off to them as a nation.
Russian kazahs in Luhansk are angry at Russia and it's elected puppets in Luhansk who are stealing everything from people in Luhansk.

Echo Chamber = MSM
Jesus...sombebody goes against the status quo propaganda and thus ZH is an echo chamber for citing what is real and not the official MSM line..
Biblical archaeology is a farce, it amounts to fundamentalists with a bible in one hand digging in the ground and exclaiming what they find is whatever they want to call it.
There are so many fundamental basic errors in the bibles data, historical 'facts' and timelines as to be totally embarassing....and real evidence shows it was written quite late.
There are blog sites and History etc Univeristy professors with their own sites discussing all this stuff for years now...if people are interested in the subject they can google them.
I for one did a thourough search, research and analysis including all the relative scholars past and present on the subject...and concluded that it is just an artifact of religion like that of any other religion. Its historical importance is with who evolved such writings, wha purpose and so forth.....just like laws made today...written to confer powers to one group and remove powers from others....fined tuned over and over.
Insert global warming for biblical archeology and you have a point
Bravo!

Oliver Stone is one of our greater makers of film fiction. The only problem is that some people are ignorant enough to mistake his work for actual history.
The only problem is that
many, if not most people are ignorant enough to mistake ...
Repair complete
How low empire of chaos wants to go ? Can't defend their lies . Oliver stone is showing what we all were aware of . Duh ! . But ignorants and apologists will get butthurt undoubtedly .
OT, sorry, but in other news, the Daily Telegraph reports that the Air Asia flight didn't have permission to fly to Singapore, saying that the airline's permission to fly that route on that day of the week had been revoked (but not on other days of the week) though it does not say when the licence was revoked. No does the DT discuss how, under those circumstances, a commercial airliner full of people came to become airborne at all. Did somebody just "revoke some folks"?
I guess this movie is proof positive that the CIA had nothing to do with the coup in Ukraine.
Incomplete Headline ... fails to hint at when.
The movie may indeed appear on your local screen, but not soon.
2017 at the earliest, imho.
Prelude to a Hungarian 'Maidan'?
In terms of 'accuracy' or 'content' it really doesn't matter.
The fact is, the guy is going to produce a hollywood movie, which by design will have to be 'dumbed down' to bring in the largest audience possible.
Just that fact means there must be some dilution, EVEN IF his intentions where to be 'objective'.
We have all forgotten what journalism is, because i don't find very much of it anywhere, including here on zh, the only difference on zh is that they present some things opposed to msm, but few of the authors really qualify as 'journalism' - being - simply, attempt to define for the audience, as objectively as possible - 'who/what/when/where/how/why' maybe leave out the 'why' - if the why is the why of the producer and not the subject. unfortunately, the zh guys are also attempting to editorialize their desired outcomes, goals, wishes, whatever.
ny times, huffpost, all of them - editorial reporting presenting their desired 'winners'. not journalism.
anything oliver stone does, or any of his ilk has to be pandering, or there is no audience. there is no conception of making something intellectually challenging and having the 'less informed (polite for less intelligent)' attempt to raise themselves UP to understand it and learn something. that paradigm is finished, until, possibly, the great reset.
Oliver stone is a hack. Just look at the difference in his early work compared to today. Scarface depicted Casto's Cuba in an honest light. Tony Montana talked about the communists try to tell you what to think how to act and believe. Tony's mother was a proud immigrant who worked for what she had and refused to take his blood money.
Now look at the shit he spouts. Very anti-American propaganda and appears to love dictators like Castro and Chavez.
He's about as credible as Snowden.
Another ignorant . He isn't spouting anit-us propaganda . He is merely stating the fact and truth . Showing Empire of chaos real face . You people have been so diluted by your thick propaganda that now you can't even intercept normally . US is a shameless nation which isn't keen in mending its ways and behave properly . Eat a crow apologist
In order to tell the truth one needs to tell the WHOLE truth. Leaving out evidence to prove theories isn't truth.
Eat a crow's cunt because you are what u eat.
mr.cunt aka apologist you havent followed zh properly . he disclosed how well usa is working in ukraine coup . remember nuland phone leak . No can push a dumb and ignorant yank towarda truth . Keep sippin your kool-aid tinpot.
Crows don't have cunts you moron.
Stone's current work appears anti-American because there is not a whole lot of "American" left in our current government. For example, when one little mid-east country of 7,000,000 people can control the foreign policy of the USA through bribes, extortion and blackmail you know we are in trouble. At least Stone has the balls to point out the problems.
Why am I not surprised to see Pepe Escobar writing for RT, cutting checks from Putin?
i.e. an actual shill
Hey Pepe! Where's your fictional pipeline from Qatar these days?
Appropriate though that his 'analysis' is referenced in regard to a creative work of fiction ... ... from Hollywood.
Got pissed with american plagued reporters writring lies for nyt , lat , wp not working well on others ?
He atleast states the truth unlike yours who make their monthly cheques from corporated by deluding unconscious minds like you .
It is evident who is a shill here .
If it's "evident" you'll have no trouble at all producing that evidence. But of course you can't because there is none. i.e. you can't face the possibility that independent analytical views exist which are completely at odds to the truth you preferred to adopt. (which is assuming you're honest, which is certainly not a given and probably unlikely to be the case)
How low you apologist want to go for your naked empire . Your statement shows that hasbara .
Ha! No evidence at all, but sans that, I'm now a jew too? And to qualify for this new classification all I had to do was point out the obvious truth about a populist gross-bullshit artist, and notorious anti-journalism perverse hack who's now overtly working for and cutting checks from Putin's state lie-support apparatus, but which you perceive as pissing on your precious little pet pepe le poo-poo's brain-damaged psycho rants against the entire Western world?
Get yer head gasket checked you pathetic dreary prejudiced ultra-nationalist toss-pot.
(Note: that summary of you is at least evidence-based, and actually "evident")
Pepe writes a lot more articles for Asia Times, which reports on India, and RT often quotes from them. Get your shills straight, why doncha.
All I see here is alot of specutlation and consipracy theories yet no proof. I see more evidence that Russian's involvement in Ukraine is more likely than USA or EU. I do realize that CIA is in Ukraine but what role and how much they have done is still unknown. Does anyone have anything on the CIA other than Yanukoynch or the past police thinking it was CIA. Because they are not super credible if they had their people shot the protestors and cops.
A state depaertment official is literally recorded hand picking the next leader of the Kiev puppet regime, and you manage to post this nonsense?
The US has a rich history of such subversion.
Zeitgeist Addendum (HD) Part II - Economic HitmanThere's simply no question of CIA involvement, nor any serious question that the US has provided weapons and other aid even as Kiev's junta deliberately tries to ethnically cleanse the Russian east.
https://consortiumnews.com/2014/11/26/neocons-claim-to-fight-russian-unr...
I agree that USA has a history of sticking their fingers in countries and if you read my post, I mentioned that CIA is in Ukraine however their involvement is unknown. I am looking for evidence, not speculation. If I used your thought process, I could look at Russia's history of subversion and state that their is no question that Russia is/was or is trying controlling Ukraine. Also, you should look use the definition of nonsense. Your use of this word in your reply does not make sense.
Anyone else have any evidence of CIA invovlement in Ukraine's recent disrupting the former president? Or is ZH just full of conspiracists?
Don't give up your day job at the CIA/Mossad, O.k.?
CIA and Mossad have better things to do than try to bring reason to a bunch of ZH conspiracy zealots.

Final Judgment: The Missing Link in the JFK Assassination Conspiracy1929
The culture we lost — Secretary of State Henry Stimson refuses to endorse a code-breaking operation, saying, "Gentlemen do not read each other’s mail."
1941
COI created — In preparation for World War II, President Roosevelt creates the Office of Coordinator of Information (COI). General William "Wild Bill" Donovan heads the new intelligence service.
1942
OSS created — Roosevelt restructures COI into something more suitable for covert action, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Donovan recruits so many of the nation’s rich and powerful that eventually people joke that "OSS" stands for "Oh, so social!" or "Oh, such snobs!"
1943
Italy — Donovan recruits the Catholic Church in Rome to be the center of Anglo-American spy operations in Fascist Italy. This would prove to be one of America’s most enduring intelligence alliances in the Cold War.
1945
OSS is abolished — The remaining American information agencies cease covert actions and return to harmless information gathering and analysis.
Operation PAPERCLIP – While other American agencies are hunting down Nazi war criminals for arrest, the U.S. intelligence community is smuggling them into America, unpunished, for their use against the Soviets. The most important of these is Reinhard Gehlen, Hitler’s master spy who had built up an intelligence network in the Soviet Union. With full U.S. blessing, he creates the "Gehlen Organization," a band of refugee Nazi spies who reactivate their networks in Russia. These include SS intelligence officers Alfred Six and Emil Augsburg (who massacred Jews in the Holocaust), Klaus Barbie (the "Butcher of Lyon"), Otto von Bolschwing (the Holocaust mastermind who worked with Eichmann) and SS Colonel Otto Skorzeny (a personal friend of Hitler’s). The Gehlen Organization supplies the U.S. with its only intelligence on the Soviet Union for the next ten years, serving as a bridge between the abolishment of the OSS and the creation of the CIA. However, much of the "intelligence" the former Nazis provide is bogus. Gehlen inflates Soviet military capabilities at a time when Russia is still rebuilding its devastated society, in order to inflate his own importance to the Americans (who might otherwise punish him). In 1948, Gehlen almost convinces the Americans that war is imminent, and the West should make a preemptive strike. In the 50s he produces a fictitious "missile gap." To make matters worse, the Russians have thoroughly penetrated the Gehlen Organization with double agents, undermining the very American security that Gehlen was supposed to protect.
1947
Greece — President Truman requests military aid to Greece to support right-wing forces fighting communist rebels. For the rest of the Cold War, Washington and the CIA will back notorious Greek leaders with deplorable human rights records.
CIA created — President Truman signs the National Security Act of 1947, creating the Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Council. The CIA is accountable to the president through the NSC — there is no democratic or congressional oversight. Its charter allows the CIA to "perform such other functions and duties… as the National Security Council may from time to time direct." This loophole opens the door to covert action and dirty tricks.
1948
Covert-action wing created — The CIA recreates a covert action wing, innocuously called the Office of Policy Coordination, led by Wall Street lawyer Frank Wisner. According to its secret charter, its responsibilities include "propaganda, economic warfare, preventive direct action, including sabotage, antisabotage, demolition and evacuation procedures; subversion against hostile states, including assistance to underground resistance groups, and support of indigenous anti-communist elements in threatened countries of the free world."
Italy — The CIA corrupts democratic elections in Italy, where Italian communists threaten to win the elections. The CIA buys votes, broadcasts propaganda, threatens and beats up opposition leaders, and infiltrates and disrupts their organizations. It works -- the communists are defeated.
1949
Radio Free Europe — The CIA creates its first major propaganda outlet, Radio Free Europe. Over the next several decades, its broadcasts are so blatantly false that for a time it is considered illegal to publish transcripts of them in the U.S.
Late 40s
Operation MOCKINGBIRD — The CIA begins recruiting American news organizations and journalists to become spies and disseminators of propaganda. The effort is headed by Frank Wisner, Allan Dulles, Richard Helms and Philip Graham. Graham is publisher of The Washington Post, which becomes a major CIA player. Eventually, the CIA’s media assets will include ABC, NBC, CBS, Time, Newsweek, Associated Press, United Press International, Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps-Howard, Copley News Service and more. By the CIA’s own admission, at least 25 organizations and 400 journalists will become CIA assets.
1953
Iran – CIA overthrows the democratically elected Mohammed Mossadegh in a military coup, after he threatened to nationalize British oil. The CIA replaces him with a dictator, the Shah of Iran, whose secret police, SAVAK, is as brutal as the Gestapo.
Operation MK-ULTRA — Inspired by North Korea’s brainwashing program, the CIA begins experiments on mind control. The most notorious part of this project involves giving LSD and other drugs to American subjects without their knowledge or against their will, causing several to commit suicide. However, the operation involves far more than this. Funded in part by the Rockefeller and Ford foundations, research includes propaganda, brainwashing, public relations, advertising, hypnosis, and other forms of suggestion.
1954
Guatemala — CIA overthrows the democratically elected Jacob Arbenz in a military coup. Arbenz has threatened to nationalize the Rockefeller-owned United Fruit Company, in which CIA Director Allen Dulles also owns stock. Arbenz is replaced with a series of right-wing dictators whose bloodthirsty policies will kill over 100,000 Guatemalans in the next 40 years.
1954-1958
North Vietnam — CIA officer Edward Lansdale spends four years trying to overthrow the communist government of North Vietnam, using all the usual dirty tricks. The CIA also attempts to legitimize a tyrannical puppet regime in South Vietnam, headed by Ngo Dinh Diem. These efforts fail to win the hearts and minds of the South Vietnamese because the Diem government is opposed to true democracy, land reform and poverty reduction measures. The CIA’s continuing failure results in escalating American intervention, culminating in the Vietnam War.
1956
Hungary — Radio Free Europe incites Hungary to revolt by broadcasting Khruschev’s Secret Speech, in which he denounced Stalin. It also hints that American aid will help the Hungarians fight. This aid fails to materialize as Hungarians launch a doomed armed revolt, which only invites a major Soviet invasion. The conflict kills 7,000 Soviets and 30,000 Hungarians.
1957-1973
Laos — The CIA carries out approximately one coup per year trying to nullify Laos’ democratic elections. The problem is the Pathet Lao, a leftist group with enough popular support to be a member of any coalition government. In the late 50s, the CIA even creates an "Armee Clandestine" of Asian mercenaries to attack the Pathet Lao. After the CIA’s army suffers numerous defeats, the U.S. starts bombing, dropping more bombs on Laos than all the U.S. bombs dropped in World War II. A quarter of all Laotians will eventually become refugees, many living in caves.
1959
Haiti — The U.S. military helps "Papa Doc" Duvalier become dictator of Haiti. He creates his own private police force, the "Tonton Macoutes," who terrorize the population with machetes. They will kill over 100,000 during the Duvalier family reign. The U.S. does not protest their dismal human rights record.
1961
The Bay of Pigs — The CIA sends 1,500 Cuban exiles to invade Castro’s Cuba. But "Operation Mongoose" fails, due to poor planning, security and backing. The planners had imagined that the invasion will spark a popular uprising against Castro -– which never happens. A promised American air strike also never occurs. This is the CIA’s first public setback, causing President Kennedy to fire CIA Director Allen Dulles.
Dominican Republic — The CIA assassinates Rafael Trujillo, a murderous dictator Washington has supported since 1930. Trujillo’s business interests have grown so large (about 60 percent of the economy) that they have begun competing with American business interests.
Ecuador — The CIA-backed military forces the democratically elected President Jose Velasco to resign. Vice President Carlos Arosemana replaces him; the CIA fills the now vacant vice presidency with its own man.
Congo (Zaire) — The CIA assassinates the democratically elected Patrice Lumumba. However, public support for Lumumba’s politics runs so high that the CIA cannot clearly install his opponents in power. Four years of political turmoil follow.
1963
Dominican Republic — The CIA overthrows the democratically elected Juan Bosch in a military coup. The CIA installs a repressive, right-wing junta.
Ecuador — A CIA-backed military coup overthrows President Arosemana, whose independent (not socialist) policies have become unacceptable to Washington. A military junta assumes command, cancels the 1964 elections, and begins abusing human rights.
1964
Brazil — A CIA-backed military coup overthrows the democratically elected government of Joao Goulart. The junta that replaces it will, in the next two decades, become one of the most bloodthirsty in history. General Castelo Branco will create Latin America’s first death squads, or bands of secret police who hunt down "communists" for torture, interrogation and murder. Often these "communists" are no more than Branco’s political opponents. Later it is revealed that the CIA trains the death squads.
1965
Indonesia — The CIA overthrows the democratically elected Sukarno with a military coup. The CIA has been trying to eliminate Sukarno since 1957, using everything from attempted assassination to sexual intrigue, for nothing more than his declaring neutrality in the Cold War. His successor, General Suharto, will massacre between 500,000 to 1 million civilians accused of being "communist." The CIA supplies the names of countless suspects.
Dominican Republic — A popular rebellion breaks out, promising to reinstall Juan Bosch as the country’s elected leader. The revolution is crushed when U.S. Marines land to uphold the military regime by force. The CIA directs everything behind the scenes.
Greece — With the CIA’s backing, the king removes George Papandreous as prime minister. Papandreous has failed to vigorously support U.S. interests in Greece.
Congo (Zaire) — A CIA-backed military coup installs Mobutu Sese Seko as dictator. The hated and repressive Mobutu exploits his desperately poor country for billions.
1966
The Ramparts Affair — The radical magazine Ramparts begins a series of unprecedented anti-CIA articles. Among their scoops: the CIA has paid the University of Michigan $25 million dollars to hire "professors" to train South Vietnamese students in covert police methods. MIT and other universities have received similar payments. Ramparts also reveals that the National Students’ Association is a CIA front. Students are sometimes recruited through blackmail and bribery, including draft deferments.
1967
Greece — A CIA-backed military coup overthrows the government two days before the elections. The favorite to win was George Papandreous, the liberal candidate. During the next six years, the "reign of the colonels" — backed by the CIA — will usher in the widespread use of torture and murder against political opponents. When a Greek ambassador objects to President Johnson about U.S. plans for Cypress, Johnson tells him: "Fuck your parliament and your constitution."
Operation PHEONIX — The CIA helps South Vietnamese agents identify and then murder alleged Viet Cong leaders operating in South Vietnamese villages. According to a 1971 congressional report, this operation killed about 20,000 "Viet Cong."
1968
Operation CHAOS — The CIA has been illegally spying on American citizens since 1959, but with Operation CHAOS, President Johnson dramatically boosts the effort. CIA agents go undercover as student radicals to spy on and disrupt campus organizations protesting the Vietnam War. They are searching for Russian instigators, which they never find. CHAOS will eventually spy on 7,000 individuals and 1,000 organizations.
Bolivia — A CIA-organized military operation captures legendary guerilla Che Guevara. The CIA wants to keep him alive for interrogation, but the Bolivian government executes him to prevent worldwide calls for clemency.
1969
Uruguay — The notorious CIA torturer Dan Mitrione arrives in Uruguay, a country torn with political strife. Whereas right-wing forces previously used torture only as a last resort, Mitrione convinces them to use it as a routine, widespread practice. "The precise pain, in the precise place, in the precise amount, for the desired effect," is his motto. The torture techniques he teaches to the death squads rival the Nazis’. He eventually becomes so feared that revolutionaries will kidnap and murder him a year later.
1970
Cambodia — The CIA overthrows Prince Sahounek, who is highly popular among Cambodians for keeping them out of the Vietnam War. He is replaced by CIA puppet Lon Nol, who immediately throws Cambodian troops into battle. This unpopular move strengthens once minor opposition parties like the Khmer Rouge, which achieves power in 1975 and massacres millions of its own people.
1971
Bolivia — After half a decade of CIA-inspired political turmoil, a CIA-backed military coup overthrows the leftist President Juan Torres. In the next two years, dictator Hugo Banzer will have over 2,000 political opponents arrested without trial, then tortured, raped and executed.
Haiti — "Papa Doc" Duvalier dies, leaving his 19-year old son "Baby Doc" Duvalier the dictator of Haiti. His son continues his bloody reign with full knowledge of the CIA.
1972
The Case-Zablocki Act — Congress passes an act requiring congressional review of executive agreements. In theory, this should make CIA operations more accountable. In fact, it is only marginally effective.
Cambodia — Congress votes to cut off CIA funds for its secret war in Cambodia.
Wagergate Break-in — President Nixon sends in a team of burglars to wiretap Democratic offices at Watergate. The team members have extensive CIA histories, including James McCord, E. Howard Hunt and five of the Cuban burglars. They work for the Committee to Reelect the President (CREEP), which does dirty work like disrupting Democratic campaigns and laundering Nixon’s illegal campaign contributions. CREEP’s activities are funded and organized by another CIA front, the Mullen Company.
1973
Chile — The CIA overthrows and assassinates Salvador Allende, Latin America’s first democratically elected socialist leader. The problems begin when Allende nationalizes American-owned firms in Chile. ITT offers the CIA $1 million for a coup (reportedly refused). The CIA replaces Allende with General Augusto Pinochet, who will torture and murder thousands of his own countrymen in a crackdown on labor leaders and the political left.
CIA begins internal investigations — William Colby, the Deputy Director for Operations, orders all CIA personnel to report any and all illegal activities they know about. This information is later reported to Congress.
Watergate Scandal — The CIA’s main collaborating newspaper in America, The Washington Post, reports Nixon’s crimes long before any other newspaper takes up the subject. The two reporters, Woodward and Bernstein, make almost no mention of the CIA’s many fingerprints all over the scandal. It is later revealed that Woodward was a Naval intelligence briefer to the White House, and knows many important intelligence figures, including General Alexander Haig. His main source, "Deep Throat," is probably one of those.
CIA Director Helms Fired — President Nixon fires CIA Director Richard Helms for failing to help cover up the Watergate scandal. Helms and Nixon have always disliked each other. The new CIA director is William Colby, who is relatively more open to CIA reform.
1974
CHAOS exposed — Pulitzer prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh publishes a story about Operation CHAOS, the domestic surveillance and infiltration of anti-war and civil rights groups in the U.S. The story sparks national outrage.
Angleton fired — Congress holds hearings on the illegal domestic spying efforts of James Jesus Angleton, the CIA’s chief of counterintelligence. His efforts included mail-opening campaigns and secret surveillance of war protesters. The hearings result in his dismissal from the CIA.
House clears CIA in Watergate — The House of Representatives clears the CIA of any complicity in Nixon’s Watergate break-in.
The Hughes Ryan Act — Congress passes an amendment requiring the president to report nonintelligence CIA operations to the relevant congressional committees in a timely fashion.
1975
Australia — The CIA helps topple the democratically elected, left-leaning government of Prime Minister Edward Whitlam. The CIA does this by giving an ultimatum to its Governor-General, John Kerr. Kerr, a longtime CIA collaborator, exercises his constitutional right to dissolve the Whitlam government. The Governor-General is a largely ceremonial position appointed by the Queen; the Prime Minister is democratically elected. The use of this archaic and never-used law stuns the nation.
Angola — Eager to demonstrate American military resolve after its defeat in Vietnam, Henry Kissinger launches a CIA-backed war in Angola. Contrary to Kissinger’s assertions, Angola is a country of little strategic importance and not seriously threatened by communism. The CIA backs the brutal leader of UNITAS, Jonas Savimbi. This polarizes Angolan politics and drives his opponents into the arms of Cuba and the Soviet Union for survival. Congress will cut off funds in 1976, but the CIA is able to run the war off the books until 1984, when funding is legalized again. This entirely pointless war kills over 300,000 Angolans.
"The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence" — Victor Marchetti and John Marks publish this whistle-blowing history of CIA crimes and abuses. Marchetti has spent 14 years in the CIA, eventually becoming an executive assistant to the Deputy Director of Intelligence. Marks has spent five years as an intelligence official in the State Department.
"Inside the Company" — Philip Agee publishes a diary of his life inside the CIA. Agee has worked in covert operations in Latin America during the 60s, and details the crimes in which he took part.
Congress investigates CIA wrong-doing — Public outrage compels Congress to hold hearings on CIA crimes. Senator Frank Church heads the Senate investigation ("The Church Committee"), and Representative Otis Pike heads the House investigation. (Despite a 98 percent incumbency reelection rate, both Church and Pike are defeated in the next elections.) The investigations lead to a number of reforms intended to increase the CIA’s accountability to Congress, including the creation of a standing Senate committee on intelligence. However, the reforms prove ineffective, as the Iran/Contra scandal will show. It turns out the CIA can control, deal with or sidestep Congress with ease.
The Rockefeller Commission — In an attempt to reduce the damage done by the Church Committee, President Ford creates the "Rockefeller Commission" to whitewash CIA history and propose toothless reforms. The commission’s namesake, Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, is himself a major CIA figure. Five of the commission’s eight members are also members of the Council on Foreign Relations, a CIA-dominated organization.
1979
Iran — The CIA fails to predict the fall of the Shah of Iran, a longtime CIA puppet, and the rise of Muslim fundamentalists who are furious at the CIA’s backing of SAVAK, the Shah’s bloodthirsty secret police. In revenge, the Muslims take 52 Americans hostage in the U.S. embassy in Tehran.
Afghanistan — The Soviets invade Afghanistan. The CIA immediately begins supplying arms to any faction willing to fight the occupying Soviets. Such indiscriminate arming means that when the Soviets leave Afghanistan, civil war will erupt. Also, fanatical Muslim extremists now possess state-of-the-art weaponry. One of these is Sheik Abdel Rahman, who will become involved in the World Trade Center bombing in New York.
El Salvador — An idealistic group of young military officers, repulsed by the massacre of the poor, overthrows the right-wing government. However, the U.S. compels the inexperienced officers to include many of the old guard in key positions in their new government. Soon, things are back to "normal" — the military government is repressing and killing poor civilian protesters. Many of the young military and civilian reformers, finding themselves powerless, resign in disgust.
Nicaragua — Anastasios Samoza II, the CIA-backed dictator, falls. The Marxist Sandinistas take over government, and they are initially popular because of their commitment to land and anti-poverty reform. Samoza had a murderous and hated personal army called the National Guard. Remnants of the Guard will become the Contras, who fight a CIA-backed guerilla war against the Sandinista government throughout the 1980s.
1980
El Salvador — The Archbishop of San Salvador, Oscar Romero, pleads with President Carter "Christian to Christian" to stop aiding the military government slaughtering his people. Carter refuses. Shortly afterwards, right-wing leader Roberto D’Aubuisson has Romero shot through the heart while saying Mass. The country soon dissolves into civil war, with the peasants in the hills fighting against the military government. The CIA and U.S. Armed Forces supply the government with overwhelming military and intelligence superiority. CIA-trained death squads roam the countryside, committing atrocities like that of El Mazote in 1982, where they massacre between 700 and 1000 men, women and children. By 1992, some 63,000 Salvadorans will be killed.
1981
Iran/Contra Begins — The CIA begins selling arms to Iran at high prices, using the profits to arm the Contras fighting the Sandinista government in Nicaragua. President Reagan vows that the Sandinistas will be "pressured" until "they say ‘uncle.’" The CIA’s Freedom Fighter’s Manual disbursed to the Contras includes instruction on economic sabotage, propaganda, extortion, bribery, blackmail, interrogation, torture, murder and political assassination.
1983
Honduras — The CIA gives Honduran military officers the Human Resource Exploitation Training Manual – 1983, which teaches how to torture people. Honduras’ notorious "Battalion 316" then uses these techniques, with the CIA’s full knowledge, on thousands of leftist dissidents. At least 184 are murdered.
1984
The Boland Amendment — The last of a series of Boland Amendments is passed. These amendments have reduced CIA aid to the Contras; the last one cuts it off completely. However, CIA Director William Casey is already prepared to "hand off" the operation to Colonel Oliver North, who illegally continues supplying the Contras through the CIA’s informal, secret, and self-financing network. This includes "humanitarian aid" donated by Adolph Coors and William Simon, and military aid funded by Iranian arms sales.
1986
Eugene Hasenfus — Nicaragua shoots down a C-123 transport plane carrying military supplies to the Contras. The lone survivor, Eugene Hasenfus, turns out to be a CIA employee, as are the two dead pilots. The airplane belongs to Southern Air Transport, a CIA front. The incident makes a mockery of President Reagan’s claims that the CIA is not illegally arming the Contras.
Iran/Contra Scandal — Although the details have long been known, the Iran/Contra scandal finally captures the media’s attention in 1986. Congress holds hearings, and several key figures (like Oliver North) lie under oath to protect the intelligence community. CIA Director William Casey dies of brain cancer before Congress can question him. All reforms enacted by Congress after the scandal are purely cosmetic.
Haiti — Rising popular revolt in Haiti means that "Baby Doc" Duvalier will remain "President for Life" only if he has a short one. The U.S., which hates instability in a puppet country, flies the despotic Duvalier to the South of France for a comfortable retirement. The CIA then rigs the upcoming elections in favor of another right-wing military strongman. However, violence keeps the country in political turmoil for another four years. The CIA tries to strengthen the military by creating the National Intelligence Service (SIN), which suppresses popular revolt through torture and assassination.
1989
Panama — The U.S. invades Panama to overthrow a dictator of its own making, General Manuel Noriega. Noriega has been on the CIA’s payroll since 1966, and has been transporting drugs with the CIA’s knowledge since 1972. By the late 80s, Noriega’s growing independence and intransigence have angered Washington… so out he goes.
1990
Haiti — Competing against 10 comparatively wealthy candidates, leftist priest Jean-Bertrand Aristide captures 68 percent of the vote. After only eight months in power, however, the CIA-backed military deposes him. More military dictators brutalize the country, as thousands of Haitian refugees escape the turmoil in barely seaworthy boats. As popular opinion calls for Aristide’s return, the CIA begins a disinformation campaign painting the courageous priest as mentally unstable.
1991
The Gulf War — The U.S. liberates Kuwait from Iraq. But Iraq’s dictator, Saddam Hussein, is another creature of the CIA. With U.S. encouragement, Hussein invaded Iran in 1980. During this costly eight-year war, the CIA built up Hussein’s forces with sophisticated arms, intelligence, training and financial backing. This cemented Hussein’s power at home, allowing him to crush the many internal rebellions that erupted from time to time, sometimes with poison gas. It also gave him all the military might he needed to conduct further adventurism — in Kuwait, for example.
The Fall of the Soviet Union — The CIA fails to predict this most important event of the Cold War. This suggests that it has been so busy undermining governments that it hasn’t been doing its primary job: gathering and analyzing information. The fall of the Soviet Union also robs the CIA of its reason for existence: fighting communism. This leads some to accuse the CIA of intentionally failing to predict the downfall of the Soviet Union. Curiously, the intelligence community’s budget is not significantly reduced after the demise of communism.
1992
Economic Espionage — In the years following the end of the Cold War, the CIA is increasingly used for economic espionage. This involves stealing the technological secrets of competing foreign companies and giving them to American ones. Given the CIA’s clear preference for dirty tricks over mere information gathering, the possibility of serious criminal behavior is very great indeed.
1993
Haiti — The chaos in Haiti grows so bad that President Clinton has no choice but to remove the Haitian military dictator, Raoul Cedras, on threat of U.S. invasion. The U.S. occupiers do not arrest Haiti’s military leaders for crimes against humanity, but instead ensure their safety and rich retirements. Aristide is returned to power only after being forced to accept an agenda favorable to the country’s ruling class.
EPILOGUE
In a speech before the CIA celebrating its 50th anniversary, President Clinton said: "By necessity, the American people will never know the full story of your courage."
Clinton’s is a common defense of the CIA: namely, the American people should stop criticizing the CIA because they don’t know what it really does. This, of course, is the heart of the problem in the first place. An agency that is above criticism is also above moral behavior and reform. Its secrecy and lack of accountability allows its corruption to grow unchecked.

As a further lesson heres an explanation of propoganda:
The use of propoganda is meant to bring a complex issue to light via simpler means not through lies or deception but through images and language the "common" man might understand. To "propogandize" a lie is to simplify that lie in the same fashion and therefore becomes the ultimate poison, the ultimate lie.
The use of the word has become poisoned by the great liars, as with virtually all modern propoganda for the jews are masters of the art of "spin doctoring".
To illustrate the greater role Hollywood propaganda has just look at the political movies over the past decade or so. The movie W came out right before the election of 2008 to remind the nation how much they should hate George Bush. In 2010 the sequel to Wall Street came out just in time for the election.
Hollywood made a movie painting Che Gueverra as a hero fighting the evil capitalist America.
The Valerie Plame/ joe Wilson hack piece to keep telling people that it's bush's fault, bush is a liar, blah blah blah. What movie will be coming out pretty soon? Selma, a movie about the civil rights era. Gee how coincidental with all the Ferguson/NYPD-Gardner/Treyvon Martin.
Not to mention the absolute pile of garbage ultimate hack movie of all time being An Inconvenient Truth. To not see the collusion of the political left in this country and Hollywood propaganda is to be blind or a sheep.
Actually the biggest hack job propaganda that Hollywood and the media have ever given us in this president.
2008 elections were pure sham. Bush proved himself to be a hate figure afterhis presidency .
Have you seen that piece of shit TV program called "Madame Secretary"?
Have a guess at what that was designed to do to prep the next election.
StormCloudsGathering did a good job of covering this US backed coup to establish a NeoNazi puppet regime.
