By Oliver Stone & former Ecuadorean President
Rafael Correa
January 31, 2020 "Information
Clearing House" -The United States has become a “force of
evil” against the people who want to reform things,
renowned director Oliver Stone told former
Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa during an
interview Wednesday in his RT show 'Conversando con
Correa' (Speaking With Correa).
The conversation
started with an overview of Stone’s life and career,
before plunging into the subject of politics, the
world’s current woes, the role played by the U.S. in
global politics and the presidency of Donald Trump.
Midnight Express’s author considers that Trump
has done “horrible things” like pulling out of the
Paris climate accords and the 2015 Iran nuclear
deal. However, he argued that at least, he had the
merit to ask why the U.S. needs to fight with
Russia, alarming thus the mainstream media who kept
on attacking him from the first day.
“It’s all right-wings fighting with right-wings
[...] Democrats are no better than Republicans,”
Stone said, adding that “there is no party in the
United States, no democratic voice except third
parties that are small, that would say ‘Why are we
fighting wars?’”
“Hillary Clinton and her group, and Joe Biden,
are just as pro-war as any Republican Dick Cheney.”

In short, the U.S. is "the greatest hypnosis the
world has ever seen (...) It sells the same story,
again and again, that it is the best country in the
world,” the filmmaker claimed adding that all
evidence shows the opposite and the U.S. has been
responsible for the death of millions of people all
around the world, from Iraq to Syria, Afghanistan,
Vietnam, Korea, among other countries.
Correa and his guest also evoked the documentary
film 'Al Sur de la Frontera' (South of the
Border) made by Stone, released in 2009, in which
the filmmaker interviewed then progressive leaders
of Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay,
Cuba, and Ecuador.
"[Hugo] Chavez was the base, the nucleus, who
introduced me to all the leaders: we went to visit
Lula, Nestor Kirchner and Cristina Kirchner,
[Fernando] Lugo in Paraguay, and you in Ecuador, and
Cuba ... And Bolivia ... it was an experience that
opened my eyes,” Stone said, adding that the
documentary was totally ignored by the mainstream
media in the U.S.
"I was an enemy," he said, recalling that he was
once invited to the New York Times where journalists
asked him how he had come to respect Chavez.
"It was then clear to me: there is no way to win
the debate on South America," he noted, describing
events such as those that occurred in Brazil when
former President Dilma Rousseff was impeached and
Lula imprisoned, as a "comedy.”
Stone concluded that what happened with the
Soviet Union will happen to the US.
“Something is going to happen because we have
pushed ourselves to the limit, we are completely
corrupting history. Unfortunately, because I want my
country, we have become a force of evil. A force of
evil against people. Against people who want
reforms, who want to change things.”
