Hollywood Reporter’s European Bureau chief, Scott Roxborough recent article- Oliver Stone Was Linked to Planned Series of Pro-Dictator Docs displays how sloppy and lazy George Soros’s media minions are getting these days with information operations.
Roxborough cites the OCCRP story about Hollywood documentary producer Igor Lopatonok and after reviewing his version, I’m surprised Roxborough had the where with all to spell Oliver Stone’s and Igor Lopatonok’s name’s right. It’s that bad.
The first question should be, why waste the ink answering drivel like this? Too many people had their reputations and livelihoods ruined because of trash posting like this and it needs to be addressed.
This is how it all started back in 2015 when I broke the Russia hoax stories that started emerging in 2016 and are still going on.
The OCCRP, Der Spiegel, Hollywood Reporter, Der Standard, and Vlast effort wasn’t investigative journalism. We could label it Incel journalism, a mutual masturbation of headlines and egos to get social likes, shares, and approval from Soros groups as well as the US State Department.
Like the OCCRP, Roxborough accused Stone and Lopatonok of crimes and corruption specifically tied to Kazakhstan and its former president, Nazarbayev.
According to the Hollywood Reporter- “Stone and Lopatonok had previously denied that the Kazakh government was behind Qazaq, but the OCCRP investigation uncovered a paper trail linking the regime to payments of at least $5 million earmarked for the film and series. Elbasy, a foundation run by Nazarbayev’s daughter that was founded and is controlled by Nazarbayev, transferred the $5 million to the government-run State Center for Support of National Cinema, which in turn paid the Qazaq production company.”
This would be a crime on Nazarbayev’s part for stealing funds, and corruption on Stone and Lopatonok’s part for taking payments. Roxborough’s due diligence is tuned so tight, that he doesn’t know “Elbasy” is a title for Nazarbayev, “founder of the country,” and not a foundation.
That quote from the OCCRP and Roxborough articles is the only damning accusation against Oliver Stone and Igor Lopatonok.
We’ll get to the rest of the article shortly, but ask yourself what that by itself could do to a movie production company that relies on Hollywood talent and funders to do business.
After the OCCRP smear piece on Oliver Stone and Igor Lopatonok circulated to Yahoo and Google News, they walked back on it so hard it looked like whiplash, when they saw we were addressing it.
OCCRP Kazakhstan editor Vyacheslav Abramov makes it clear the OCCRP breaking headline about Igor Lopatonok and Oliver Stone was made up. No crimes, no corruption, no story is exactly what Scott Roxborough was paid to write about.
The OCCRP and its editor Miranda Patrucic accused the head of the Nazarbayev Fund Private Fund of using the fund as a slush bank for Kazakhstan’s former president, Nursultan Nazarbayev. When offered proof and evidence to the contrary, the OCCRP and Patrucic ignored it.
The OCCRP through the Hollywood Reporter is once again trying to resurrect her sleazy smear of Nursultan Nazarbayev raiding the Nazarbayev Fund Private Fund for his personal use, and Patrucic and her OCCRP attorneys backed out of the “investigative journo” angle when the Fund took them to court.
The Fund presented the documentation through evidence showing Patrucic and her OCCRP lied. What was the OCCRP response?
It’s our “opinion” so it should be protected free speech. The Hollywood Reporter and Scott Roxborough know the claim is a lie. They had to.
Watch the video again. The OCCRP couldn’t find crimes or corruption. There was no story. There was no narrative.
By now, the Incel OCCRP label should be obvious. All Roxborough’s story does is masturbate the lies and tickle the fancy of the OCCRP’s Miranda Patrucic, Mathew Doig, Kevin Hall, and Vyacheslav Abramov in the media. Nothing more, nothing less. Maybe they should get offline once in a while, go out and meet real people.
What does the Hollywood Reporter have against acclaimed Director Oliver Stone? Nothing. Somewhere in there the lies sit on an accountant’s balance sheet. Maybe he’s auditioning for a new gig.
Next, the OCCRP and Hollywood Reporter turn to the Russia hoax revival to make their case. In the short video above, Vyacheslav Abramov says there needs to be standards! Dammit!
In the next breath, while interviewing Igor Lopatonok, all of them, with no exceptions admitted to not ever seeing the films. Are they criticizing the trailers? The OCCRP editors who interviewed Igor Lopatonok never saw the documentaries they claim are propaganda.
Did Hollywood Reporter Scott Roxborough watch them? Obviously, not. If he did, he would have never before known insight into the breakup of the Soviet Union. He’d know how Kazakhstan was built out of its ashes.
Ukraine on Fire, the Stone, and the Lopatonok documentary on the 2014 Ukrainian coup isn’t pro-Russian. It is pro-Ukrainian. Most of Ukraine had to be battered into accepting its outcome. When Kyiv attacked Donbass, it was the most anti-Ukrainian act from then until now. Using the military to attack civilians was against the Ukrainian constitution.
The OCCRP and by extension, the Hollywood Reporter’s support of Zelensky closing the “free press” in Ukraine should be all you need to know about their view on freedom of speech.
The distorted reality they live in when reporting against the facts or evidence, that they are happily basking in Soros’s jaded light, that they want to take the truth and your freedoms away, makes me wonder who hurt them when they were children. This twisted morality and mentality had to come from somewhere. Who hurt you?
This train wreck of Incel journalism is what happens when you group socially awkward woke people who want to get revenge on society for never being voted prom queen.
