Is this where history is going? Is the real thing so boring that we have to have these pathetic fringe narratives from people like Stone and Beck? Then we have the tabloid junk being produced by Discovery studios (Mermaids, Hitler, UFOs).

History and science are exciting and interesting and don’t need to be sexed up or sensationalized. The best that we can do as consumers is avoid this crap and demand better material from studios.

Sounds like Oliver Stone is a big fan of the fabulist Howard Zinn. May they both rot in hell.

Oliver Stone is putting his name to history books now?

Wow, his coke habit must really be getting out of hand…

Stone uses Henry Wallace as an example of the type of foreign policy the US should have used with Stalin. I.e., appeasement. But he fails to mention that Wallace later completely repudiated his views and acknowledged that he was misled about Soviet intentions and that his views in the forties were completely wrong.

I’ve got news for you, they are called Obungler voters, and they are in the majority.

You give them too much credit. They know nothing of history. Most of them don’t even know who Biden is.

Zbigniew Brzezinski, an “obsessed anti-communist” who, the authors note darkly, was a member of the Bilderberg Group and Trilateral Commission, “set the trap for the Russians in Afghanistan.”

When someone starts talking like this, it is impossible to take them seriously. The book magically debunks itself.

“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.”

I must admit, I didn’t read the article after the first sentence, because telling me that a history book written by Oliver Stone is idealogical drivel is like telling me that Rosanne Barr can’t win a bikini contest. It’s just a self-evident truth that needs no further elucidation.
