Oliver Stone om Ron Paul og Neocons.

Via Nordmenn for Ron Paul.

Filmskaperen Oliver Stone har alltid hatet makt-eliten. Da er det ikke overraskende at han støtter Ron Paul i 2012.

RCM: In Our History you ask if there’s “a potential wild card in an internal economic collapse of the empire”? Is America an empire? And if so, do you foresee the fall of the empire?

OS: Yes. Yes, both. I don’t think it’s a wild card, I think it’s a given. There’s no way that we can continue this spending spree. In fact, I think in many ways the most interesting candidate – I’d even vote for him if he was running against Obama – is Ron Paul. Because he’s the only one of anybody who’s saying anything intelligent about the future of the world.

Oliver Stone nailer også hvor denne neokonservative tradisjonen stemmer fra. Som jeg har skrevet tidligere startet det hele med Woodrow Wilson.

OS: So you tell me, what have we learned? Or who’s faking, or who’s kidding who? Why is it necessary for every candidate – except for Ron Paul – to pay obeisance to this hypocrisy that the U.S. is a good force in the world, and that it is the dominant force, and can be the policeman of the world? Since when? What gave us that right? The right of empire, the right of force?

They’re based on this idea, this myth, Woodrow Wilson passed on when we entered World War I that we’re exporting democracy and freedom.

Forhåpentligvis gjør dette at en del Obama droner våkner opp.
