Oliver Stone on "Snowden"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 чер 2024
- Director Oliver Stone joined Ron Suskind, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, for a conversation about his upcoming film Snowden. In a both informative and entertaining Forum, Stone explained the artistic process and difficulties of translating the controversial story of Edward Snowden into a film. While answering questions from the audience, Stone touched on his work in prior films, his motivation in telling political stories through cinema, and his views on the state of America’s government surveillance programs.
We are lucky to have Oliver Stone around..
Fortunate
It takes integrity to understand integrity, thank you Oliver Stone and Ed Snowden.
bam
Exactly. Oliver Stone came with Dr. Peter Kuznick, history prof at Princeton, to the Lobera Theater in Santa Barbara to discuss their great co-authored book, THE UNTOLD HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES (later turned into a 10, and then 12-part video series). It too was very honest lively meeting of the mids. Oliver Stone sets the record straight by showing the other side of corporate power in the U.S. After all, the NSA (the National Security Administration) was established after the death of FDR, and its members consist of the Fortune 500, for the very reason they would insure there was never another FDR, a president of the people, vs president of corporations. THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES tells this story, that Oliver Stone aptly refers to as "a continuation of Howard Zinn's great work, THE PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES." Zinn's book and Stone/Kuznick's book are definitely worth reading. There is a struggle between ordinary men and the corporate autocracy
"When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals"
- Edward Snowden
One of the most revealing and interesting interview/commentary on the topic of whistleblowing that I have seen or heard! I haven’t seen the movie but for what it’s worth, in my opinion, Snowden is absolutely a hero❗️
Documentaries are better, watch CITIZEN FOUR
Snowden defines heroism.. thank you Oliver Stone!
I think you need to take a long hard look at yourself after seeing this movie. Also stop having sex in front of the TV or the laptop
Propaganda from the US government!!
The replies that is.
One of a handful of the best Film directors ever! His contributions, to film unlike, any others ever! A very good American human being and, a great Artist
Thank you 🙏 again Oliver Stone
Thank you 🙏 Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics
Snowden is a hero who deserves the "Profiles in Courage Award" along with many other courageous investigative journalists who care about this country and are true patriots.
Rhonda Larkin Our TRUTHERs are persecuted and liars are rewarded every time.
Amen!
@@laraoneal7284 Yep! Hello!
I am weary, sad of hearing that operatives were murdered because they were compromised by Snowden. They had to know the dangers. But no one is talking about the millions of innocent and other unaware Americans getting screwed on privacy rights and the country being set up for blackmail and worse.
@@goodfrequency8171 Hello to you also! 💯
25:56 A room full of Snowden's would not be a threat to us, just to the intelligence community & their secrecy.
You took the words right from my mouth. I agree 100% What we need is a country full of Snowden's with regard to intel. Honest people.
Agree. The so-called intelligence community-especially the one glamorized constantly in film and tv and operating illegally on American soil, are problematic because they are traitors who have taken an oath to an evil entity first and foremost. The secrecy is a given when you serve an evil empire instead of the people. BTW, based on belief in a deity who most American's of faith believe is the basis and inspiration for our Constitution and laws.
@@goodfrequency8171 No. Having a religious public as a way to control them. The tool that universities in the United States began as Divinity colleges. Harvard - 1636, Yale - 1639. Following religion like following sports conditions people to be obedient.
@@wiffleone I don't disagree in part. Faith became more doctrinal and myopic and less relational both spiritually and socially due to the "higher ed" system. But it works both ways. It's not the faith itself that controls and is the opiate of the people. "Faith" has long since been infiltrated and hijacked as have the tools of faith such as scripture, by those within and outside of whichever faith and with ulterior motives. It is the manipulators who use the tools to create divisions and use those divisions to take control while those divided are arguing over details and territorial nonsense, translations and transliterations. Humanity needs to learn to be wiser and less distracted with the microscopic details of faith that divide us and stay focused on those issues that are common to all. When manipulators are shunned like a fox in the henhouse---their effectiveness against humanity will wither.
If there is a roomful of Snowdens then that’s just an indictment on the level of unacceptable abuse of power. If what a whistleblower exposes is true then it should be the people in power that should be charged and not the whistleblowers.
When you interview Oliver Stone, but absolutely love the sound of.your own voice.
When I watched documentary - Edward Snowden - terminal F I could not stop crying; and never felt so proud to be a Latin America the way I do now. I feel for Snowden and the way he longs for his country. I have been working in Latin America for 8 years without going back to North America and I miss it like crazy.
I have much respect for people like Snowman who are trying to open our eyes for what is going on in US and in this world ( risking his own life ) and fighting for the truth .
They should be really proud of him .
It’s Snowden!
If he is for real and not an alphabet orgs controlled opp., I agree. In that case, if we have any good guys working on the de ep st a te issues...it should be over by now. They know who the top tier players are.
He lives in Russia and its a shame for the west.
MR. STONE: YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST FILMMAKERS....MAKE SOME MORE.....SNOWDEN IS A HERO.
The Snowden effect is that, now, when a consciencious person reveals themselves the machine immediately begins to defund and marginalize them; squeezing them out of positions of actionable knowledge. They are castrated before they can propagate reformative change.
Kinda true, semi-true, phony rhetoric is made to sound sincere, plain boldface lies, et. These agencies deal in deception to obscure from the public embarrassing results.
Agree. Ironic, the in-your-face brash ness of the very "agencies" who are operating illegally in America, doing much of the in-sighting and vicious dirty work. It happens daily on a local level too--not-so-free m a s o n s who work for the vat i can jesuit machine and take the oath to nim rod/anti- ch ri$t have taken out and or destroyed the rep, social and business lively hood of more than a few men and women.
Very good interview! Thanks Oliver for making the movie. Thank you Ed for your bravery and commitment to the USA people. In my eyes you are a hero! I’m so sorry that you can not come back to your country.
Audio is terrible. But Stone is an amazing story teller and nice person.
And these chairs...
@@PandemoniumMeltDown Bill Burr on chairs...
Yes!!! I was looking to see if anyone commented!! Maybe if they wore their microphones in the middle of their chests it would have been better. Every time either of them turned their heads I had to adjust the volume. I could not keep it on a steady loud volume as I am at work.
@@sheilayungk7815 Funny, l thought something is wrong with my iPad volume. 🤔🙃
Yes , absolutely we need more whistle blowers to expose the activities of our government that undermine our freedoms and democratic principles ! And yes , Snowdon is a hero to be welcomed home and subsequently elected as a congressman , senator and then to president ! We need leaders of high integrity , honesty ,intelligence and to an enlightened world view to find solutions to the vexing problems we face as a species and Snowdon I believe would be integral to those principles!
Great comment and I'm inspired to start a group to more centralize and raise awareness for the support for Snowden.
We had one, Democrats labeled him the enemy.
Agree! Except I need to remind you, America is a Republic.
That sounds great! I know a couple of elected officials/public servants, of high moral character and integrity who left office because they were incorruptible and threatened.
@@goodfrequency8171 Unfortunately that's the only course of action.
Its guna have to be American citizens against this rogue government.
Boy! Did we need Whistleblowers. Watching things like this in retrospect brings us so much irony..... Thanx for posting.
Snowden wouldn't have needed to sacrifice his way of life and become a whistle blower if the institution he worked for followed the law, also believed in their oath to defend/protect our constitution & one of its heads didn't lie to congress. If all our institutions did follow our laws, defend & protect our constitution, there would be less to blow a whistle on. There is nothing wrong w/whistle blowers, they're exposing wrongs. There should be nothing wrong w/exposing wrongs. If lone or institutional law/constitution violators new whistle blowers were protected and honored, they would be much less tempted to violate our laws & constitution & try to work w/in them or submit a request to change the law via proper channels, presenting their argument as to why this change is needed, fast track it if time sensitive. In a way, a whistle blower is a sleeper agent for defending our laws & constitution, the more the better.
the Constitution was flushed down the toilet long ago
You get the government you deserve. If you turn a blind eye to a lying self-serving government then you deserve that government. Obama, before politics, was very vocal about the need for whistle blowers and that it was a societies responsibility to protect the bravery it took to do so. Since he has been President he has only strengthened laws and punishment of whistle blowers. Obama also said he would get out of the Middle East, close Guantanamo Bay and claw back the wholesale stripping of citizen rights via mass surveillance and we know where that went. What did Americans do to punish him for lying, voted him in for a second term. You get the government you deserve.
Da Guy That's why we unfortunately need whistleblowers. Then to make matters worse we demonize them for telling the truth.
your respect for the american constitution is misplaced. it is the foundation of tyranny, literally written to defend slavery and ensure the rule of the rich.
Like all centres of power governments eventually push the boundaries to get away with as much as we let them. They must be held accountable in the eyes of the public. In a democracy a competent media should play a key role in that. In the absence of a competent media, which we certainly don't have, that leaves whistle-blowers. If the whistle-blowers are charged or neutralised, like Snowden and Assange, then God help us. So, God help us!
I've seen Citizen Four, read Greenwald's book, and Stones movie and learned and enjoyed them all.
You should read Ed's autobiography! It's really well written. Also Levitt as an actor has Snowden's mannerisms and voice down to a tee (in Stone's movie)
If one really knew Stone that student wouldn't have asked the question. Stone is a very brilliant and balanced man at all times.
Stone deserves Nobel Peace Prize for his work. Who can nominate him? It has to be an institution.
YES! He deeply deserves that prize!!!
Which would have about as much relevance as Obama because he got his without doing a damn thing prior to getting his..
@@victorseger6044 Obama got prize in expectation of his future great work. However he turned to bomb other countries just like Bush
Secrecy is definitely a huge danger to all of us. We are as sick as our secrets is very very true. What is done in the dark will eventually come to light.
It's important directors like Oliver Stone are around to cast a critical eye on established Gov't story lines and to lend the proper "interpretative" treatment to significant global events that shape our present and future. Of course, the truth is always closer to the intersection of two or more opposing points of view, something only the most thorough and committed films makers aim for... and Oliver Stone has followed that prescription perfectly with his recounting of some of the most tragic and defining historical events in living memory. A master story teller of events that in all likelihood will never be fully uncovered or detailed.
Oliver stone: brilliant, the moderator interrupts.
Painful to watch/hear. Stone was class, humble and gracious. Moderator needs to take a lesson and check his ego at the door.
Moderator is a total self obsessed dick
@Tranequious Jones lol...agree!
Very interesting subject, as always! Mr Stone!
Oliver Stone is a Great Man ! !
The interviewers competition with Mr. Stone for attention seriously affects the flow of information.
...effects...
Agreed. He talks too much.
I think he does a good job to moderate and contrast
Mr Snowden is an idealist. To perform an heroic act, I think idealism is often an essential ingredient of character. Many young people who are raised in military families are this sort. Other whistle-blowers have such family backgrounds. I doubt that anyone with a good background in American history would be idealistic. It is particularly a mistake of youth. His act of self-sacrifice was not honored by the American people. Our people are poorly educated and richly propagandized by corporate media. I think of the three, Assange, Manning, and Snowden who have challenged the imperial US state, Snowden has fared the best - living now in Russia with his wife in good circumstances. Julian Assange, a great hero who has not committed any criminal acts, suffers the most. Australia's governments have behaved disgracefully towards their honorable citizen and showed themselves to be cowardly in their subservience to US governments as has Sweden and the UK.
What happened to JA?
*''Culture eats everything for breakfast.''*
What a profound statement . . .
Oliver is one of the more interesting intellects and keeper of the Good in the USA !
Thank you too all the great people that work really hard at keeping our world safe. Don’t forget that people.
Yes, terrible audio but stay with it. SO interesting, and important.
1- Oliver Stone
2- Thom Hartmann
3- Economist : Richard Wolff
4- Noam Chomsky
5- Henry Wallace (1940s)
.. are honest truth-telling souls
Good list. I would add Max Blumenthal and George Galloway.
You forgot John Pilger!
Thomas Sowell too!
I am a fan of all the speakers on your list and more even tho we find many of the"progressive" types have peramiters...example as much as Chomsky has done incredible work...early protester of the Vietnam war...but his gatekeeping narrative in September 11th is sketchy stating the manahattan attacks were not organized or preplanned to kick start the new enemy.."the terrorists"....and even as his friend Chris Hedges says about Chomsky...he is a west bank and gaza settlement defender...max Blumenthal is a phoney progressive along with Ben Norton and Aaron Matte...in my opinion many"progressives" have the backing of forces that are not so much spreading false narratives...but limited in the scope....if you read this and had not heard the antedote with greg and jeremy...try those 2... along with expose the enemy...2 great shows that work together on projects...such as the recent multi part series called the unauthorized history of the US....great reporting
Great list but many more can be added Glen Greenwald, Edward Snowden, Dr King and on and on. The truth is there
A must watch for truth, is "The Untold History of the United States" by Oliver Stone. The best documentary I have ever seen, and should be the foundation for education of TRUE history!
I've only found the promos-
@@goodfrequency8171 It was removed from Netflix where I first saw it. But the dvd set is available and believe me it's worth it!
How long has Suskind the interrupter been in the C.I.A. ?
I find noteworthy how many very intelligent people are raised believing the American mythology. A large fraction of the miseducated come from upper middle-class homes, raised by parents who themselves have had the benefits of US education. Ignorance of what was done as the American government extended its reach from the colonies that declared independence from Britain to the mid-Pacific and beyond is broad and for generations deep. Its breadth certainly included the poor and the more recent arrivals to the American scene. Only within a small fraction of the working class had the insights of 19th century European intellectuals opened their eyes to American class warfare and imperialism by the capitalist ruling class. Thus it is that we find that so many among those who became whistle-blowers were idealists, volunteers for Vietnam or members of the CIA and NSA, disillusioned but earnest patriots, rebels with a cause. They were truly victims of their upbringing and education.
In Nuremberg, where Nazis were criminally prosecuted for war crimes, US prosecutors
insisted that using " I acted according to prevailing laws, and following my orders" line of defense by the accused, be disallowed! Get my drift?
Exactly!
So much of what Oliver says is desperately TRUE. They aren't listening, are incapable of comprehending and even the moderator, all miss the exact nature of the loss of their freedoms.
Yes and some do not want to believe it either like Ed risked his Life for FISA documents proof etc. and now years later some are just aware of the spying now as though it was not widely revealed a decade ago already?
This gets on my nerves every time the host interrupt Stone. It feels like most of the time the host is talking, not Stone himself
I agree; As I commented, he can't hide his bias and jumps everything Stone says to counterpoint. You are so right, It is quite annoying.
Gatekeeping...
Totally agree. Not so intelligent to say the least and he keeps changing the course of Oliver statements. I hope he reads this that he is knuckle head.
@@ela111961 thanks for the chuckle. I painted the whole picture in my head, him (ham), at breakfast, over eggs benedict reading the AM paper (dates me?) Saying to himself: "You mean they didn't absolutely adore me??"
@@ela111961 Rude and unprofessional to invite someone to speak and then attempt to interject, interrupt and dominate.
very grateful for Untold History co authored with Peter Kuznick, and for Stone's other smelling salts, I mean movies+ commentaries.
Untold History of United Snakes sets a new paradigm congruent with Zinns Peoples History in Six Sigma quality.
Oliver Stone should try to find and interview HARMON WILFRED. He calls himself
a 'refugee' and has been for 20 years. His story is simply mind boggling!
Not one person in that building with a baseball cap for this amazing man...I would walk out of that building and buy this man the first cap I could find.
It's OLIVER STONE for crying out loud.
I wish the interviewer would let Oliver Stone finish his thoughts. The interviewer is too full of his own "insights" and cuts off the more interesting thoughts before Oliver can complete them.
There is a definite art to conversation especially in forum interview context
@@danielj1063 Stone looks annoyed most of the time.
Good video :) I have seen it several days ago and I enjoyed it.
By the way, yesterday I saw that the IOP was doing a live session about the media and the elections, but I couldn't follow it. Are you going to upload it? Please respond :)
I wish I could hear them.
And just look where we are in America today......
I'm on a Oliver Stone interview marathon soaking it in like a person ought to when a wise elder speaks on serious matters. Not to imply he's that old, really.
yossarian1633 Just because someone is older does not mean they are wise i.e. Kissinger evil to the core. Fortunately Oliver Stone IS A MAN OF INTEGRITY. He is to listened to and admired. Stone has also been persecuted and misunderstood which is a travesty because this man truly is s good man with no agenda except the truth.
Age itself does not determine wisdom obviously, that's not what i was implying. But age does mean more experience, which can lead to wisdom. Especially when you've been through Vietnam like Stone has, and seen the effects of war first hand. That's what I mean.
& young people should listen to their elders more often, honestly. That's a big part of what's wrong with modern western culture.
i hope there will be a room full of snowdens.
Me too!
“ There were good Germans...” apt description.
There were, but gradually even many good samaritanish people became more and more radicalized jew haters as well as Communist-, Socialist- and Social Democrat haters. Goebbels knew how to create an oppinion and hatefull athmosphere towards the jews through propaganda. He was a master manipulator and the Germans bought it from him. His skills as a propagandist is somehow the main reason our family abandoned the German part of my fathers family.
There were????? WW1 and WW2 would tend to make that statement seem very wrong...
@Geegee Poo Millions who died in industrial sized concentration camps would no doubt disagree with you Mr POO
Americans are being propagandized right now. Republicans and Democrats are pushed to hate each other. Think how nasty politics has gotten in the last 20-30 years. Republicans started it maybe it's vicious now. We look at each other not as opposing viewpoints and both sides want what's best for the country, now it's the enemy.
You gotta ask yourself who benefits from this discord and hatred 🤔. The usual suspects, the rich and powerful 😡
@@theboyisnotright6312 Yes there is plenty of brain washing going on in every western country right now which always seems to gradually remove our freedoms, democracy and safety
WHy did the movie scenes got cut out ?
If you have integrity, nothing else matters! If you don't have integrity nothing else matters!
I will subscribe and "like" your videos if your tech and production people get their acts together.
please tell me the sound recorder of this video is fired
What? No comments? June 14,2022. 'Snowden' was a good movie. Edward Snowden was, is a good person, and of quite the altruistic variety, too. I think in many people's hearts, they'd love to be a "Snowden" who would commit, to such a task as he did[as Steven Drake, William Binney, and others, also] and not for himself, not at all, and I suspect, his decision was agonising over just what the resulting damage to him personally, that would happen.
Brilliant man 🙏❤
Thank you. I'll take that as a compliment.
I knew even as a kid the government was always listening,watching. My life's not very exciting so I've never really cared. I respect Mr Stone and Snowden,but anyone surprised by what he revealed is niave.
Yes, but before you could call itconspiracy theory, but now there's proof.
Well it's been four years.....and now Google, UA-cam and fb...along with others direct what you see, what you should believe and what to think...Read the book Hidden Persuasions. It's how advertisers encourage us to buy that which we made not desire too. This is the world in which we live.
@Tranequious Jones Uh it was a general comment not a directive, chill down. Hidden Persuasions is a book , not a movie, and I offered that up as suggestion for those bright enough and with desire to understand a bit more. Such as why soft drinks are at the back of a food store and not closer to the front. Why some products are on the middle shelf and others on the top. Why some use red vs maud for labels. Silly innocuous things which might amuse some readers.
People will remain loyal as long as they feel that their superiors are loyal to the same ideal as they are.
@@mmmgyrl1976 Congratulations, you just had a conversation with yourself. It's fine, but please don't involve me next time you decide to do it. I can just repeat what I said: people will remain loyal as long as they feel that their superiors share their ideals (when they feel that is no longer true, i.e. their superiors don't share their ideals, the crisis of loyalty will happen.) Where did you find anything about totalitarianism, or anything else you were talking about, is beyond me.
at the 39 minute took over and answer the public questions ???? We want to hear Oliver !!!
*
I would like it if Oliver Stone could speak without continual interruption by Harvard Mouth.
typical Harvard Tool ~ i was born in Cambridge and lived there & they are a dime a dozen
Too bad the audio is so awful going from inaudible to unbearably loud... Had to turn the CC on 🙄
Nice video. It would be even better if we could hear what these two men are saying.
Check the sound!!
It’s odd how Trump never mentions Snowden.
I'm representing myself now. I am solid.
But I love collaborating with others on the same level. I'm not above asking for help.
Ron Susskind is the main event. Oliver Stone is his supporting act/comical side-kick.🇦🇺
this interviewer loves the sound of his own voice.
and is also a sleazy apologist for imperialism
Very interesting discussion. It seems to boil down to if the constitution is the supreme law of the land or the NSA and CIA are exempt from it. Whistleblowers usually argue for separation of powers thru following the constitution and that power corrupts.
Please watch Oliver Stone's "Ukraine On Fire" (2016) Very eye-openng considering the events of today...
true
"The fear would be a president which would create a room full of Snowden's" what? Oliver didn't say that the interviewer inserted that himself, why is he saying Oliver said that. Is he confused or is he trying to control the conversation? Oliver said we desperately need whistle blowers.
Unfortunately the audio problem seems to come from the source the guys doing the audio in the auditorium which is really disappointing because, it’s Harvard FFS.
It's distasteful to me how Stone talks about adding "Drama" to this movie. He shares about being scared that the movie would not sell because of this. So he adds a sex scene between Lindsay and Ed. I, as a woman, could have done without it. I believe this story has captured the world. I'm sure millions are interested in Ed's story and how he has been treated by the US. Personally, I am very interested in this story as I feel for Ed as well as Julian Assange. It shows the lack of integrity and honesty that is missing in government and how journalists are treated for writing about things they feel are important . That is what is important in this movie. I am not interested in sex, car chases or shootouts.
@Tranequious Jones Thank you. I'll take that as a compliment.
@Tranequious Jones I got it now.
By the way, I was giving my opinion as a woman. I find many movies today, especially when the director is a man, to have things in them that I don't like (and I am not in any way putting men directors down). However, if you look at a movie like, "It's a Wonderful Life", which I believe was directed by a man, it is very different. I don't think I have to be a director to give my opinion here on UA-cam. Many people do. You don't have to be so mean to say that I'm Naive and for me to put my money where my mouth is. I like movies that have sensitivity in them. That's me and I believe I have every right to feel the way I do and to express myself.
Oliver is a movie maker, architect and artist.not hard to understand.. Other channels like Public PBS should do what you ask, pls ask them !
Agree. The infiltrated business of film is also a club first and a business. The rules of the club no longer offer happy, bright, family films, straight historic remakes or dramatized documentaries without some level of propaganda and or unnecessary bathroom and sex scenes, drug use and strip club etc. You are dealing with a high level of perversion which thrives on corruption and desensitization. Research, Tavistock Institute. and then think sa t an ists.
Good to know that there are still deep thinkers amongst us in this asylum of a modern world. If only they had influence with the ruling class.
Oliver Stone is always the smartest person in the room. Definitely much smarter than this Pulitzer Prize winner.
He was 69 here. Looks great and is sharp as a tac.
Fast forward to 2021. Last Americans leave Kabul (almost). How did the Intelligence community not miss how quickly Afghanistan would fall? Time for another movie.
Oliver is always interesting but this Ron guy is more interested in chiming in with goofy remarks & new questions while the guy is in the middle of sentences. Ron needed to be in on it more than just being an interviewer.
Freshmen students running the audio...hard on the ears through ear buds. Could not stay with it to the end.
The recording was impossible to hear.
The dramatic variations in the audio level make this video unwatchable!
It is strange because I am quite sensitive to this issue and I don't remember having any problem with this video...
Oliver's mic was on his right side of the jacket, so whenever he turns his head left, the audio level decreases.
mic check, mic check, mic awww forget it.
1571JohannesKepler - Perhaps a small point but what a pleasure to read a simple, accurate and concise analysis of this clips problem. Their (Harvard's) A.V. club perhaps aught not be entrusted with this responsibility in future when the solution is so glaringly obvious - if someone with ears had been involved in testing the microphone when (oh who would have imagined ) the speaker's head "moved."
its the sound variation thats impossible.
Was excited about this one, but...couldn't watch long. It's Harvard for God's sake and you can't dim a light or get sufficient mics on the speakers. But the background noise was loud and clear. I thought you Harvard people were supposed to be smart!
By any means necessary, By God, "Let freedom reign!"
Terrible audio placements with the mics
Would sooo much Love to meet Oliver one day. Wow deep end of the world scene arios .....Coming to a theatre near you. KEEP THE INFO COMING OLIVER AND CO. I'm sure you've got a lot of info to do some Boom Booms
I strongly agree with you, Oliver, Edward would be excellent for head of NSA. 16:25
Oliver for president
He would make a GREAT President !
Nixon is his finest work
Much underrated
One of the most essential teachings of philosophy: `Epistemology vs Ontology`. The world becomes the stories we tell each other. Yet ultimately, ontology blows the whistle once we go seriously astray...
Who is that 3rd glass of water for?
"Carefully crafted".
We know what that means
Love this, but dam those chairs seem soo uncomfortable, the light was blinding the gest. Anyway I'm distracted, but enjoying this.
Could have positioned the microphones better .
The Oath taken in the military and Government service is the same. In that the U.S. Constitution is what you swear to defend and uphold.
So what consequences did the people whose actions Snowden exposed face.
I watched with interest the discussion of the movie and its content. What I come away with is this. For all the good people in government who want our constitution to prevail there are a mountain of people who don’t care about whats right or whats wrong. It’s like using a hammer to chip away at Mt. Everest to remove it. Sadly in the end the mountain will remain till the of of time or in another term till our country will self destruct, from within.
FREE SNOWDEN!!✌
The interviewer is too arrogant. You aren't that smart buddy. Learn some humility.
Yeah got say it's rough, bad mic placement.
Oliver Stone is the most interesting man in the world
