… Oliver Stone’s American History – Published on Middle East Eye MEE, by James Reinl, Sept 17, 2016;

… The Hollywood movie director has turned his cameras on the assassination of John F Kennedy, the Vietnam War and the 9/11 attacks … //

… He continued probing that war in Born on the Fourth of July (1989), starring Tom Cruise. JFK (1991) showed his conspiracy theories about the former president’s killing; movies such as Nixon (1995) and W (2008) tackled subsequent commanders-in-chief.

The release of his movie about NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has been delayed until 2016, he said.

He has also interviewed foreign statesmen who defy Washington – from the Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro to the ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Untold History of the United States, a 10-part documentary series and a 750-page book, offers Americans an alternate perspective on US history from the Second World War through the Cold War to the present day.

Stone says he wants to counter the “educational crime” of misleading American schoolchildren.

“American exceptionalism has to be driven out of our curriculums,” he said.

“We’re not under threat. We are the threat.”

Le Dr Richard Horton, rédacteur en chef de The Lancet, a récemment fait une annonce disant qu’un nombre scandaleux de publications d’études sont au mieux, peu fiables, quand elles ne sont pas complètement mensongères, en plus de frauduleuses. Horton a déclaré: « Une grande partie de la littérature scientifique, sans doute la moitié, pourrait être tout simplement fausse. Affligée d’études avec des échantillons réduits, d’effets infimes, d’analyses préliminaires invalides, et de conflits d’intérêts flagrants, avec l’obsession de suivre les tendances d’importance douteuse à la mode, la science a pris le mauvais tournant vers les ténèbres …;
