This
week, Oliver Stone stirred a political firestorm with his
views on
AC:
What do you see is happening in Ukraine?
OS:
"It seems clear Ukraine is just
the latest country in a long list to fall prey to
America’s soft power technique called ‘Regime Change 101.”
Stone’s
comments
reverberated
like an earthquake on both sides of the Ukrainian divide, prompting
him to elaborate on his original statement.
OS:
“For those of you angry with my
analysis of Ukraine yesterday, please try to understand the bigger
picture I’m offering. I
have no brief for Viktor Yanukovich, he may well be the most corrupt
president Ukraine ever had. Ukraine has a dramatic history of
corruption. That is not my point. There is ample evidence of
pro-Western, third-party interference in Ukraine."
AC:
What action made you come to this conclusion?
OS:
"The CIA contributed to violence at February
protests in Ukraine that left more than 100 dead. "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," he wrote. "Many witnesses, including police
officials, believe these foreign elements were introduced by
pro-Western factions — with CIA fingerprints on it,"
AC:
Who exactly are you speaking about here?
OS:
Specifically US government
organizations, such as USAID, which has been operating in Ukraine
since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the National Endowment
for Democracy, and there was Victoria Nuland and John McCain, two
high-ranking American officials who appeared on the streets of
central Kiev at the height of the Maidan showdown between police and
protesters.
AC:
How long has this been going on?
OS:
"The US has been playing games in Ukraine for a
long time. Back in 1949, then Defense Secretary James Forrestal,
together with the cooperation of the CIA, created a guerrilla force
codenamed ‘Nightingale’ that was comprised of ultra-nationalist
(NAZI) Ukrainians. For five years the CIA was parachuting Ukrainian
infiltrators into the country." Last year it was these
well-armed, neo-Nazi radicals who forced Yanukovych out of the
country after repeated assassination attempts."
AC:
This is not what we are being told in the West, is it?
OS:
"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."
AC:
Thank you Mr.Stone for another revealing look at how history is being
distorted to fit a narrative. America deserves better than this.
OS:
"You are very welcome."
