GARY OLDMAN WILL BE PERSECUTED FOR BEING A LIBERTARIAN

It’s already begun. Gary Oldman will be eviscerated, shunned and blackballed by the Hollywood and media elite for speaking the truth. Freedom of speech is only allowed when the speech conforms to what those in power want to hear. Gary is welcome here at TBP, now that his career will be destroyed by the Hollywood honchos. Here are Oldman’s views in his Playboy interview:

“I just think political correctness is crap. That’s what I think about it. I think it’s like, take a fucking joke. Get over it. I heard about a science teacher who was teaching that God made the earth and God made everything and that if you believe anything else you’re stupid. A Buddhist kid in the class got very upset about this, so the parents went in and are suing the school! The school is changing its curriculum! I thought, All right, go to the school and complain about it and then that’s the end of it. But they’re going to sue! No one can take a joke anymore.

I don’t know about Mel. He got drunk and said a few things, but we’ve all said those things. We’re all fucking hypocrites. That’s what I think about it. The policeman who arrested him has never used the word nigger or that fucking Jew? I’m being brutally honest here. It’s the hypocrisy of it that drives me crazy. Or maybe I should strike that and say “the N word” and “the F word,” though there are two F words now.

“Alec calling someone an F-A-G in the street while he’s pissed off coming out of his building because they won’t leave him alone. I don’t blame him. So they persecute. Mel Gibson is in a town that’s run by Jews and he said the wrong thing because he’s actually bitten the hand that I guess has fed him—and doesn’t need to feed him anymore because he’s got enough dough. He’s like an outcast, a leper, you know? But some Jewish guy in his office somewhere hasn’t turned and said, “That fucking kraut” or “Fuck those Germans,” whatever it is? We all hide and try to be so politically correct. That’s what gets me. It’s just the sheer hypocrisy of everyone, that we all stand on this thing going, “Isn’t that shocking?”

More and more, people in this culture are able to hide behind comedy and satire to say things we can’t ordinarily say, because it’s all too politically correct.

Well, if I called Nancy Pelosi a cunt—and I’ll go one better, a fucking useless cunt—I can’t really say that. But Bill Maher and Jon Stewart can, and nobody’s going to stop them from working because of it. Bill Maher could call someone a fag and get away with it. He said to Seth MacFarlane this year, “I thought you were going to do the Oscars again. Instead they got a lesbian.” He can say something like that. Is that more or less offensive than Alec Baldwin saying to someone in the street, “You fag”? I don’t get it.

It’s our culture now, absolutely. At the Oscars, if you didn’t vote for 12 Years a Slave you were a racist. You have to be very careful about what you say. I do have particular views and opinions that most of this town doesn’t share, but it’s not like I’m a fascist or a racist. There’s nothing like that in my history.

I would say that I’m probably a libertarian if I had to put myself in any category. But you don’t come out and talk about these things, for obvious reasons.

What can I say? I feel we need some real leadership, and it’s nowhere in sight. Look at what’s happening right now. John Kerry going off to China to talk about North Korea? What’s that going to do? The ludicrousness of it. What a waste of money. You’re going to go to the puppeteer and say, “Can you help me with the puppet?” As far as Hillary, I guess I feel like my character in The Contender, Shelly Runyon. He doesn’t want Joan Allen to become president; he just believes she isn’t the right person for the job. It’s nothing to do with the fact that she’s a woman, but he uses a bit of dirt on her to bring her down.”

In my estimation, Gary Oldman has long been an incredibly fine actor, first from the UK, now from his new USA home base. Unlike the equally gifted Philip Hoffman, Gary’s lived long enough to be able to survey his life and live for more than his acting career and drugs.

He also has enough ‘drop dead’ money that he can afford to be honest without worry about his next meal, as does Mel Gibson. Probably more of us would be as honest if we could afford to be….

Oldman has backtracked–somebody read him the riot act, it seems:

” Dear Gentlemen of the ADL:

I am deeply remorseful that comments I recently made in the Playboy Interview were offensive to many Jewish people. Upon reading my comments in print—I see how insensitive they may be, and how they may indeed contribute to the furtherance of a false stereotype. Anything that contributes to this stereotype is unacceptable, including my own words on the matter. If, during the interview, I had been asked to elaborate on this point I would have pointed out that I had just finished reading Neal Gabler’s superb book about the Jews and Hollywood, An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews invented Hollywood. The fact is that our business, and my own career specifically, owes an enormous debt to that contribution.

I hope you will know that this apology is heartfelt, genuine, and that I have an enormous personal affinity for the Jewish people in general, and those specifically in my life. The Jewish People, persecuted thorough the ages, are the first to hear God’s voice, and surely are the chosen people.

I would like to sign off with “Shalom Aleichem”—but under the circumstances, perhaps today I lose the right to use that phrase, so I will wish you all peace–Gary Oldman.

Speaking of heroes, looks like Greenwald’s new revelation is getting closer by the day. Can’t wait!!

================================

Greenwald: New NSA disclosure ‘imminent’

By DYLAN BYERS |
6/23/14

Glenn Greenwald is set to disclose new documents revealing which kinds of citizens are targeted by National Security Agency surveillance, he said Monday.

In an interview with MSNBC’s Ronan Farrow, Greenwald cited a “very imminent” report “on the question of what kinds of citizens are being targeted by the NSA.” Greenwald said he considered the report “the most important in the archive” of documents given to him by Edward Snowden.

Greenwald has said in previous interviews that Snowden’s documents include a list of the people the U.S. government has been targeting.

“if I called Nancy Pelosi a cunt—and I’ll go one better, a fucking useless cunt”

And I’d say a fucking dangerous cunt. Oldman is a white dude, living in the the liberal progressive world of women, minorities and Jews. Sounds like he’s sick of the hypocrisy and bullshit just like everyone else. The holier than thou liberal fucks never give up, and the Jewish controlled media can say and get away with anything, while letting our mulatto president do the same. Great job on the interview, it’s nice to hear some truth. All people hear from the fucktard liberals are lies, aggrievment, hatred, division, diversity, and the eternal use of the race card. Fuck them, one and all.

You’re either with ’em or against ’em. A professor at the local university I was speaking to was undecided on an issue – and open to both points of view. This person is a conservative, but as we all know – most non-libtard’s are open to opposing points of view. The other libtard’s absolutely lost-their-shit because no opinion was equal to having an opposing view. There’s no reasoning with these fucked in the head libtard’s – zero. Pick the issue, the importance of the outcome…..trivial shit or real constitutional law crushing illegal as hell stuff, you are with them or against them.

When the day comes that each of us non libtard’s don’t have a job or business or career et al that can be fucked with for openly exposing our views to the world – is a day the libtard’s have greatly under-estimated.

Of course …. naturally …. what the fuck did you expect? ….. the apology was INSUFFICIENT for the goddamned (really, God WILL damn these zionistfuks) Joo Douchebag League;

““We have just begun a conversation with his managing producer,” said Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the ADL. “At this point, we are not satisfied with what we have received. His apology is insufficient and not satisfactory.”

God bless Da Joos. Right, Nonanonymous?
.
.
The Washington comPost wants Oldman to also apologize …. “to other groups and people he insulted, including gays, African Americans and Nancy Pelosi.”
.
.
Ahhh…the permanently offended classes. Gotta love ‘em! No need to look at the context of what was said…no need to look at the point being made…just be upset! Oldman made some very strong points….and he shouldn’t have apologized. Nevertheless, read the “apology” closely. It looks like a form-letter canned speech. I doubt he really meant it. hahaha.

The war of words should be directed to Zionism. Zionism is a multiracial cabal of elite people who want to take over the world. They include Hollywood moguls but also non Jews like Biden, Cheney, Rockefellers, etc. My ebook and audiobook Wicked Zionism explain this.

Thinking about some of the scum mentioned in his rant, I thought of the insult line “you should have been swallowed,” then thought that some of those people are too repulsive for that, and am now thinking we should get some meme graphics going with their faces (you know who) and “You should have been spat into a sink.” Anyone?

Z –

I don’t think it’s brownnosing… I think it’s Oldman grovelling that way on purpose just to troll them.. I can totally see him doing that. Subtle, but it does work..

Which is probably why King Joo Foxman didn’t accept his “apology” – it’s so over the top, there’s no way it can be genuine… 🙂

I vote w/those who see this as Oldman’s send-up of typical boot-lickers. As a fifty-years published writer, I sense the edges on his statement, and it’s sardonic, to say the least.

“If, during the interview, I had been asked to elaborate on this point I would have pointed out that I had just finished reading Neal Gabler’s superb book about the Jews and Hollywood, An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews invented Hollywood.”

Means: I read all about it; I didn’t make this up.

And when he supposedly says “The Jewish People, persecuted through the ages, are the first to hear God’s voice, and surely are the chosen people” is surely a first-class sarcasm.

Oldman can be an over-the-top character in his movies, but he’s also a subtle conveyer of what we readers know are the bits of truth we get ‘between the lines,’ just as when Russians learned to read Pravda the same way.

Considering that most of us who comment here live either in the USSA or in Kanada, we too have now learned to read ‘between the lines,’ as our MSM was corrupted half a century ago, and hasn’t stopped its decline into the abyss. Look up ‘Operation Mockingbird’ to learn how the CIA transformed the MSM when I was a kid [71 now].

I expected that reply. Sorry, not correcting you, simply doing it as a courtesy for others. Or maybe I got excited to see Leonidas.

I typically don’t flip off people but when I do it is an occasion like today when the beautiful blonde (who flips me off frequently) claimed I got a safety award she deserved instead of me. I showed her my middle finger and said, here’s your safety award.
