'Ukraine on Fire' Film Censored on YouTube, Corporate War Propaganda Escalates

YouTube has censored the acclaimed Ukraine on Fire (2016), (Director, Igor Lopatonok, Exec Producer Oliver Stone, Global Tree Pcitures) as American Big Tech and corporate media have escalated its war propaganda and related censorship operations.

The censorship, removal of the film, was announced by director Igor Lopatonok this morning after the historical documentary gained wide new air play, using reportage to depict the rise of the NAZI-linked Ukrainian parties, and suspected CIA involvement in a violent 2014 coup.

Writes Igor Lopatonok:

#YouTube  #BigTechttps://vimeo.com/global3pictures/download/686097287/fc672a9a8ch deleted #UkraineOnFire film from our production official channel, I'm asking everyone who like our film to download it from our Vimeo here and post it everywhere. As a copyright holder we giving to you - The People that rights https://vimeo.com/global3pictures/download/686097287/fc672a9a8c

YouTube claimed "graphic content" featured in the movie during the NAZI coup rendered the video not a "safe place" for viewers.

The move is a further indication of liberal-friendly, corporate media's attempt to control information during the Russian invasion by marginalizing facts and history.

See When US House Saw Ukraine’s Neo-Nazis by Robert Perry for background, blacked-out in the New York Times, CBS News and so forth.

The video is available on Praxis (a Peer Tube media) and the director Lopatonok has invited all people to copy the video to fight the censorship committed by corporate media.

The film is downloaded below, at bottom.

From IMDb: Ukraine. Across its eastern border is Russia and to its west-Europe. For centuries, it has been at the center of a tug-of-war between powers seeking to control its rich lands and access to the Black Sea. 2014's Maidan Massacre triggered a bloody uprising that ousted president Viktor Yanukovych and painted Russia as the perpetrator by Western media. But was it? "Ukraine on Fire" by Igor Lopatonok provides a historical perspective for the deep divisions in the region which lead to the 2004 Orange Revolution, 2014 uprisings, and the violent overthrow of democratically elected Yanukovych. Covered by Western media as a people's revolution, it was in fact a coup d'état scripted and staged by nationalist groups and the U.S. State Department. Investigative journalist Robert Parry reveals how U.S.-funded political NGOs and media companies have emerged since the 80s replacing the CIA in promoting America's geopolitical agenda abroad.

Even more censorship:

Full-scale global censorship regime from Google breezily announced in these tweets. This war is being exploited to implement a scheme of information control previously unseen in the West, that is not going anywhere once this war is over.

Oliver Stone Telling Hard Truths in the Face of Character Assassination

Updated: ADL accepts Oliver Stone 'apology' over Holocaust, U.S. Jews. Stone: "I do agree that it was wrong of me to say that Israel or the pro-Israel lobby is to blame for America’s flawed foreign policy." Stone also added that he was "categorically opposed to anti-Semitism – and all other racist ideologies."

If Stone were an anti-Semite, why would he state he is opposed to anti-Semitism, as major flacks for Israel have said?

The only ones owing an apology are the bystanders who go along with this smearing of a good man and great director. The idea that Ollie Stone would "defend Hitler" or "blame the Jews" for anything is absurd on its face.
---
Oliver Stone told the bare truth about Vietnam and war in Platoon.

Oliver Stone told the bare truth about money and greed in Wall Street.

One can go on, Midnight Express, Born on the Fourth of July, Natural Born Killers, JFK, and South of the Border and on and on.

Now, Stone tells the truth in an interview with a British newspaper about the militaristic, Zionist propaganda machine.

And sleazy hit pieces abound, though they are particularly galling in light of Stone's peace-and-justice work that speaks truth to power with an eloquence and courage one finds lacking today.

This is not the first time Oliver Stone has been the victim of a hit piece, but the intellectual dishonesty employed against Stone for daring to tell the hard truth about facets of the rogue state of Israel reveals much about the American political culture though slime like Edelstein would have you believe that the half-Jewish Stone is anti-Semitic, even comparing Stone's comments to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Stone's comments published in the The Sunday Times of London (paid subscription) include a criticism of Hitler's American and British supporters: "Hitler was a Frankenstein, but there was also a Dr. Frankenstein. German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support. Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish people.”

Any student of history knows well the rise of Hitler and other fascists like Francisco Franco came with American and British support during the 1930s; and Russia did lose 25-million souls during WWII. They count as human, right?

Of the Israeli Lobby and propaganda machine, Stone said, “They stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington. Israel has f—– up United States foreign policy for years.”

That's news? That's axiomatic.

Stone issued a statement Monday saying, "In trying to make a broader historical point about the range of atrocities the Germans committed against many people, I made a clumsy association about the Holocaust, for which I am sorry and I regret. Jews obviously do not control media or any other industry. The fact that the Holocaust is still a very important, vivid and current matter today is, in fact, a great credit to the very hard work of a broad coalition of people committed to the remembrance of this atrocity - and it was an atrocity."

Fine, but history should teach us that human beings like Russians, Palestinians, Jews, Christians and agnostics are as significant as any other human being.

There is no master race, no chosen people; there are human beings from whom we receive gifts when we defend and honor their humanity.

That bond is something Stone understands and is an ideal that his detractors, the militarists and those who live by the lie, reject and will never appreciate.

"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less ... any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind," wrote John Donne, an artist and poet of Stone's caliber.

Keep telling the truth, Oliver; the world needs your commitment to humanity more than ever.
