Chickens coming home to roost is an adage that is apropos for what’s happening to the Democrat Party as their lies and lawfare are being exposed! Hollywood’s shift is more graphic than ever when a leading writer and renowned movie director, Oliver Stone, publicly levels criticism in his unbridled statement of Democrats, signaling a growing rift with the left and a strong move to the right.

But it doesn’t stop there! In a political twist that underscores a broader shift in Hollywood, legendary left-wing filmmaker Oliver Stone has delivered a blistering critique of the Democratic Party, particularly over its handling of the Russiagate investigation.

Stone’s comments expose a growing rejection of Hollywood’s once-solid alignment with the political left and reveal the undoing of one of the last bastions of progressivism. The shocking truth is even longtime progressives voice frustration with what they view as corruption, censorship, and abuse of power by Democratic leaders.

Oliver Stone: “The Lying, the Lying, the Lying”

Stone, best known for politically charged films like JFK, Platoon, and Snowden, didn’t mince words when speaking out about the now-debunked allegations that Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with the Russian government.

"I hate what they did with Russiagate; I really do," Stone said in a recent interview, blasting Democrats for pushing a narrative he characterized as dishonest and deeply damaging to public trust. “We paid for it. I applaud [what Trump is doing], and I hate what they did with Russiagate— the lying, the lying, and selling that to the American people.”

His comments align with growing frustration on the left over the political weaponization of intelligence agencies and the media's role in amplifying the narrative without conclusive evidence. Stone’s stance directly challenges the dominant narrative that has shaped much of liberal discourse since Trump’s election.

Perhaps even more striking is Stone’s defense of Donald Trump. When asked if he agreed that the federal government had been weaponized against conservatives, Stone responded simply, "There was."

He voiced support for Trump’s recent executive order to declassify files related to Crossfire Hurricane—the FBI’s original investigation into alleged collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia. Stone praised the move as a necessary step toward accountability and transparency.

“He's absolutely right,” Stone said of Trump’s actions. “We should know what really happened.”

Stone also defended Trump’s controversial decision to strip security clearances from attorneys connected to the investigation and bar their firms from federal buildings, calling it a long-overdue crackdown on corruption in the legal and intelligence communities.

Stone has previously produced documentaries sympathetic to Russia’s perspective on Ukraine, a stance that has drawn criticism even from his base. Yet his argument remains consistent: the portrayal of foreign nations as existential threats, he says, is a product of political theater and media distortion, something he now accuses Democrats of actively cultivating.

Still, Stone didn’t offer Trump a blank check. He voiced concern about the former president’s rhetoric targeting pro-Palestinian activists and what Stone sees as an attempt to silence dissent by labeling critics as antisemitic.

"I don't like this new thing about censorship coming from Trump," Stone said. "Against the anti – what he calls ‘antisemitic news’ – I mean, I don't agree. I don't know where he's coming from, and it's not what he promised."

His complex stance underscores the complexity of the emerging realignment in American politics, one in which traditional ideological lines are blurring, and figures like Stone are increasingly willing to cross them.

Stone's comments is part of a larger shift taking place in Hollywood. While the industry has long leaned left, there are signs that the progressive consensus is cracking under the weight of internal contradictions: rising censorship, disillusionment with establishment Democrats, and the alienation of dissenting voices, whether on foreign policy, free speech, or the legitimacy of elections.

More and more Hollywood moguls, once firmly embedded in the liberal cultural establishment, are speaking out against what they see as a betrayal of core values. However, top-line producers, writers, and directors are protected by their wealth and influence, but the rising actors and budding stars still have to kiss the ring of conformity.

Final Word: Finally, a Hollywood celebrity has successfully recovered from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). What is the magic pill that heals this deadly illness?   TDS can be cured with a hefty dose of truth.
