Oscar-winning US filmmaker Oliver Stone says Adolf Hitler was 'enabled by Western bankers'

BANGKOK, Thailand — Adolf Hitler was a psychopath and a monster but rose to power thanks to big business leaders and other supporters who appreciated his vow to destroy communism and control workers, Hollywood filmmaker Oliver Stone said Monday.

Stone, who is working on a 10-part documentary on the 20th century titled "The Secret History of the United States," said the German dictator was "enabled by Western bankers" and managed to "seduce" Germany's military industrial complex.

"Hitler is a monster. There is no question. I have no empathy for Hitler at all. He was a crazy psychopath," Stone told reporters in the Thai capital. "But like Frankenstein was a monster, there was a Dr. Frankenstein. He is product of his era."

Stone was in Bangkok to give a lecture to high school students on the role of film in peace-building as part of a visit organized by the Vienna-based International Peace Foundation.(continued)

He was a satanic anti-semite.

How ironic. Hitler made extensive use of film in his propaganda efforts.

Was it Sr Bush’s granddad who helped bankroll Hitler?

Fairly well documented IIRC.

Globalist traitors . . . regardless.

Yes, the Bankers. The latest boogeyman of the "progressives".

I swear they don't have an original thought among them.

Sounds like Stone is trying to get some stimulus.

Hitler was enabled by spineless cowards who let him run amok and build up the German war machine. Had somebody had the guts and smacked him down when he re-militarized the Rhineland, the world would have been spared a lot of evil.

This may possibly be true. The civil war was financed on both sides by European banks, When Lincoln forgave all the debt, he was assassinated. This is what I have read in several sources.

Jews and US bankers were the creators of Hitler.

Obama and Stone are in ideological unison.

Hitler also had Joe Kennedy’s appreciation.

"Stone was in Bangkok to give a lecture to high school students on the role of film in peace-building.

I wonder If Stone ever heard of Leni Riefenstahl? A "film maker" who worked for Hitler. Google "Triumph Of The Will"and all will be made clear.

Here it comes...

STONE: “George W Bush and Dick Cheney went back in time to finance Hitler because oil was found in what is now known as Iraq’.

RE: "Was it Sr Bush’s granddad who helped bankroll Hitler?"

Stone connecting Prescott Bush to Hitler was the first thing I thought of when I first read this story days ago.

A google search finds many hits about Prescott Bush in Stone's movie. Prominent Democrat and Prescott Bush's boss W. Averell Harriman will likely be left out of the movie. If I am not mistaken it was Harriman's bank and Bush worked for the bank. Many American corporations poured money into Naze Germany before the war.

As I recall, Harriman, et al had many prominent defenders post war including the Dulles brothers. Others like Prescott Bush were not so well defended.

.. but I'll defer to the historians.

In 1932, Chevron struck oil in Bahrain and was soon operating in Saudi Arabia. In 1933, when Hitler seized power, Standard Oil New Jersey supplied Germany with the patents it required for tetraethyl lead aviation fuel. In 1936, the company Schroder, Rockefeller Investment Bankers, included board directors linked to the Gestapo and several European, Nazi-linked banks. It’s lawyers were John Foster Dulles and Allan Dulles, leading Wall Street fascists who drummed up American investments in Germany and elsewhere. The Dulles law firm represented I.G. Farben and Fritz Thyssen. Thyssen was Hitler’s biggest German financier. The Dulles brothers later became Secretary of State and CIA Director, respectively.

In 1937, John D. Rockefeller died, but his legacy of using oil money to grease the wheels of fascism continued. That year, as the Spanish Civil War raged, Texas Co. (later called Texaco) fueled Franco’s fascists. (In 1936, Texas Co. and Standard Oil California formed California Texas Oil (later Caltex) to combine Texas Co’s marketing network in the Middle East with Standard’s operations there.) Texas Co. also continued shipping oil to Germany during WWII. In 1938, Brown Brothers, Harriman, the Wall Street investment firm (with senior partners Prescott Bush and George Herbert Walker) was involved in funding the supply of leaded gas for the Nazi Luftwaffe. Chevron and Texas Co. created Aramco in 1939, to pump Saudi oil for the Nazi war machine. In 1940, Texaco provided an office, in their Chrysler Building, for a Nazi intelligence officer, Dr. Gerhardt Westrick. Executives of Standard Oil’s German subsidiary were “Prominent figures of Himmler’s Circle of Friends of the Gestapo – its chief financiers – and close friends and colleagues of the Baron von Schroder” a leading Gesatpo officer and financier (Charles Higham, Trading with the Enemy). Just before WWII, the Rockefeller’s Chase Bank collaborated with the Nazi’s Schroder Bank to raise $25 million for Germany’s war economy. They also supplied the German government with names and background information on 10,000 fascist sympathizers in America. Throughout WWII, Rockefeller’s Chase Bank stayed open in Nazi-occupied Paris, providing services for Germany’s embassy and its businesses.

I’ve come across 8-10 or so . . . forget precisely . . .

sources asserting the grandpa Bush thing. Was—what was his name . . . Vandever, Vandover . . . Bush??? was he related?

Anyway—a lot of sources have asserted the granddaddy Bush/Hitler connection. Enough that I no longer doubt it.

I have long been convinced that Bush Sr was a dyed in the wool globalist.

The quotes ref’d in my tagline from 1900 on . . . it’s all been a cozy cabal running the world for a long time.
