This triumvirate of celebrity all have a certain thing in common. Well, they did have one thing in common. A love of a South American country. Apparently that love does not extend to now because the person who was in charge is no longer in power. So, their response has been silence. In the past they were all about supporting the regime. No one really could ever understand it. Well, I will tell you now why they did. The first of our three is a permanent A list mostly movie actor who is an Academy Award winner/nominee. He and this former A list mostly movie actor turned B lister would have coke supplied to them for free the entire time they were in the country and it came courtesy of the government. In exchange for selling out, they were given massive parties with as many drugs and women as they wanted. Speaking of women, this A list mostly movie director is the third of our celebrities. He was not interested in the drugs but he was interested in the women. The government would supply him with upwards of 20 women for a three or four day trip and he loved it. One person I haven't listed here is a foreign born permanent A list model who supported the government because many of her highest paying clients made their money thanks to the largess of the government.
Columbia/Sean Penn ?
ReplyDeleteYeah, Sean Penn is in there somewhere.
ReplyDeleteCould be Bolivia/Evo Morales (not sure if regime in power)/Sheen former A? Director maybe David O Russel
DeleteMaybe the answers are in here somewhere: https://panampost.com/daniel-raisbeck/2016/05/29/top-10-clueless-celebrities-hugo-chavez-revolution/
ReplyDeleteAnd Naomi Campbell as "The Model"
ReplyDeleteSean Penn and Oliver Stone, not sure who the other actor is
ReplyDeleteHugo Chavez fans: Sean Penn, Danny Glover and Oliver Stone; Naomi for the model.
ReplyDeleteDanny Glover for the former A list actor.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt Penn, Glover and Stone with Hugo Chavez. Joe Kennedy also used to do business with Chavez. Not that Kennedys would be interested in things like drugs and women.
ReplyDeleteMe thinks - Penn/Benicio del Toro/Stone & N. Campbell. NOT Glover
DeleteI want this to be the answer. I like Danny Glover.

ReplyDeletebut the current Venezuelan regime, by that Maduro asshole, is a continuation of Chavez`s. Why would things change?
ReplyDelete@Tricia13 - Evo is def still in power and becoming more powerful by the day, but this is Venezuela/Penn/Stone for sure. But Danny Glover?! I had no idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laurita!
DeleteOh that Penn......the guy who praised socialist Venezuela.....
ReplyDeleteFor the ignorant peasants : Venezuela is a socialist country, where people have to queue for 5 hours to get 1 roll of toilet paper (if they're lucky) and wait an entire day for 1kg of rice which is distributed per household, each month (if you're lucky)..
There is no money, no food, no pharmaceuticals, and whoever protests, gets arrested and beaten if lucky, if not tortured and killed. Child prostitution is very popular, because if you wanna eat my child, you better go suck some dick. That gringo man Sean Penn who loves our country, I bet his dick tastes good...he's also friend with the man who had your father, brother, uncle and other uncle killed, but who's counting, ey?
This is socialism . The political system that has NEVER EVER worked anywhere in the world, ever. EVER.
And which these sub literate, undereducated high school drop outs, & drug addicts, praise.
Because you know who's dumber than the average Hollywood actor?
The average clueless troglodytic 'progressive' who listens to him.
p.s.: my favourite ignorant American socialist is Bernie though. It takes an admirable level of mental acrobatics to speak about the lovely effects of socialism, while driving one of your $350,000 Ferrari's, and still keep a straight face.
One of them, because apparently he has 3
Wow you really are stupid. There are several successful socialist countries. Please try knowing something before posting this kind of mindlessness.
DeleteThey ALL have closed borders.
DeleteIsnt canada socialist? 3 ferraris? Is that true¿?

ReplyDeleteThis is a questionable BI for exactly that reason.
Or Maduro actually has standards and rejects the Hollywood factor.
Bored at Work - love your comment. :)
ReplyDeleteJanet - cheers me dears. I aim to either please or really really piss off.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy my comment pleased you :)
@boredatwork - wrong Bernie - Bernie Ecclestone (F1 Boss), not Bernie Sanders, has the Ferrari collection.
ReplyDeleteYou DO know there are some very successful socialist countries out there, right?
ReplyDeletebordat4chan - at least get the right Bernie before trolling. Sanders has 3 homes, not Ferraris
ReplyDeleteFirst time posting, so here it goes (all already said above)
ReplyDeletePerm A List: Sean Penn;
A to B List: Danny Glover;
Director: Oliver Stone (not sure about him not being interested in the powder as well though);
Model: Naomi Campbell (Don't know about the clients but I know she would sure appreciate the coke).
Rosie - WTF, am I in the twighlight zone right now?....yeah I confused Ecclestone with Sanders.. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat famous time Ecclestone praised socialism ey Rosie?? ;)
Just when you think some Americans cant's get any dumber , here come Rosie and totaji and googlesleuth, who btw, should immediately list all the successful socialist countries right now. Otherwise you just look like an empty plonker talking shite, because I back up my comments with facts, numbers and quotes, while you back yours up with what?
But once you do, you morons, do not expect me to hold back. You have no idea who you're challenging here, you peasants.
Let's play.
I’m dying. And done. I refuse to engage with the trolls. Good luck, everybody else 😂 ✌️
Delete"This is socialism . The political system that has NEVER EVER worked anywhere in the world, ever. EVER."
ReplyDeleteWell except Sweden, Finland, Norway, Costa Rica, Canada to some extent, Hong Kong, Denmark, Holland...more?
👏👏
DeleteDon - you're partially right, like myself. He does have 3 homes. - like any good socialist.
ReplyDeleteThe car I remembered was an Audi R8, price between $150,000 - $250,000
But I did not confuse him with Ecclestone, what am I? An American? I'm bloody British you moron.
Those aren't mistakes I'd make.
But your Bernie does have many cars. At least 3. I mean, who has 3 homes and only 1 car?
"He does have 3 homes. - like any good socialist. "
ReplyDeleteWhat precisely excludes a socialist from having three homes, specifically.
"But your Bernie does have many cars. At least 3. I mean, who has 3 homes and only 1 car?"
That's for you to prove, not us to deny. Ball is in your court, dear, to prove that everyone with three homes has at least three cars. It's going to be time consuming, but I'm sure you are up for the task.
ReplyDelete"What precisely excludes a socialist from having three homes, specifically."
Socialists by definition are for the government distribution of assets, equitably. So it doesn't seem consistent that Bernie as a socialist would own three homes. But he does.
@Do tell: no, not all varieties of socialism espouse the redistribution of assets via the government.
DeleteBernie Sanders (just in case I get accused of confusing him with an F1 supremo, disgraced financier, or my old maths teacher) supports a very broad version, which still encourages free trade, strong business (but not unregulated).
Trolls designed to distract us from the original story.
ReplyDeleteDon't bite. Ignore them. They're paid by the same deviants we are reading about.
So true AppalachianMothersauce! Ignore the trolls.
DeleteDon't you people know to not talk politics and religion? A concept most of us learn by the time we move out of primary school.

Off you go now. But thanks for playing and proving my point, that you don't even know what socialism means. Much appreciated.
Bored - you are on a gossip site issuing challenges to debate socialism. That says multiple things about you, including you can't hold your own on a political forum, you have insecurities at a level that requires you to overcompensate by trolling, and you need the attention to feel important (which we gave you even those with mental issues deserve love).

DeleteChina has become a super power, is because it's moved away from pure socialism, and more towards capitalism . "
ReplyDeleteChina was COMMUNIST and is still communist in its economic systems. It values its currency exactly like a communist country and inhibits wealth through draconian means, willy nilly, as it still nationalizes industries whenever it feels like.
"The countries you have listed have some small socialist structures when it comes to welfare, but they are all capitalist countries first and foremost. "
Socialism does not negate capitalism.
"Socialism kills people, countries, ideas and innovations. It's glorified parasitism. "
So does Capitalism as it did in Iraq, Honduras, Columbia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Argentina, Chile, Bhopal... What's your point?
" HITLER WAS A SOCIALIST "
No, he was a Fascist. That means that only the chosen few could benefit from the rights of citizenry or the social safety net. Only select groups, in this case of racial purity, could vote, contribute or be treated as equals under government. Everyone else was a slave, basically, or dirty, or undesirable and disposable. That is not socialism, and everyone who knows anything about political systems (ie NOT you) knows that.
So much emotionally misguided information in this statement. You literally know nothing about what your talking about other than urban legends, heresay and old wives tales. People like you voted for Trump, I’m sure, because he is gonna drain the swamp and make Murica great again.
ReplyDelete"Ridiculing people such as yourself is beneath me. "
ReplyDeleteOr impossible for you, which is fine.
Jumpin' Jesus! Please, let's not turn this place into another FaceBook. I left that dumpster fire because it just became people yelling at each other about politics, without ever listening. And those were my friends and relatives.
ReplyDelete:-)
Politics is like religion... it is based on *beliefs*, not facts, and so you can't really argue it."
By yelling about your political beliefs (all of you who are doing it, I don't care which side), you are just poisoning the place for everyone else. Let's not do that. It takes a certain amount of maturity to just STFU and stay on topic, but that's what I am asking.
Oh my goodness, Danny Glover? To be honest, I couldn't wrap my head around that so I googled; sure enough he's a Chavez fan. The others were not a surprise.
ReplyDeleteWe sometimes have movies film here in my town. I remember being in the hotel's fitness center minding my own biz like I usually do, while he (Danny Glover) was working out. Some ladies were fans and excited to see him. They begged and pleaded with him for a photo and he said,"Ma'am, I have a very tight schedule for working out and I really don't have time to do a photo." They kept pestering him until he gave in. LOL, they could have cared less about his problems.
Once again, the CDAN sleuths got it:

@boredatwork, as the child of people who fled Vietnam, I understand your point. It looks like everyone is arguing past each other because from an academic perspective, Venezuela under Chavez was not really "socialism." He co-opted the label to disguise his totalitarian ambitions. Socialism is an economic theory, it does not justify consolidating power or murdering political opponents. The latter is Dictator 101.
@BayAreaGirl: you hit the nail on the head.
Delete@Cheez Whiz
ReplyDeleteI get you, truly, but the misuse of political jargon and the tendency to see all sides as "the same" have led the USA into a downward spiral right now, which needs addressing where ever it crops up. I'm sorry, I really am, but I'm dedicated to not letting this sort of thing flourish.
@BayAreaGirl
THANK-YOU and muchos besos for stating that so succinctly.

ReplyDeletetotalj - Urban legends? Old Wives tales? Which ones EXACTLY?
ReplyDeleteEverything I wrote are verifiable facts, written in books historically and definitionally accurate. Meanwhile you write shite without saying anything. Why aren't you destroying my apparent 'old wives tales' with some hard evidence, oh great genius and beholder of wisdom and knowledge?
You think your words of dismissal are enough. Well, they aren't.
Proof is the pudding, you haven't disproven anything.
plot - you are too dumb for me, NAZI - a member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party
SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY
Btw, I lived in Italy for a few years and speak fluent Italian, when I frequented uni there, so don't start telling me what fascism is all about, you village idiot.
I'm not gonna get into it too deep, because you won't understand anyway, you don't have the mental capacity to absorb information, but basically fascism and socialism are both sides of the same exact coin: Fascism IS indeed a type of socialism! Both put the state ahead of the individual. Both see the ends as justifying the means. Both Nazis (fascists) and Communists give absolute power to the state - not the people. In HItler's Germany capitalism was the enemy of the people - just like in Stalin's Russia.
Anyway, I'm sure your tiny brain got misty after 'capacity'. You can google this shite yourself and READ BOOKS I have to go to dinner now.
And then you morons wonder why we use the prefix 'ignorant' , before 'American'...
Your simple dismissal of facts, such as stating the countries Plot listed aren’t socialist says a lot about you. If you aren’t able to accept known facts, then it means you are full of shit. Your whole life you grew up being told commies and socialists are Enemies to the American way of life and you have bought it hook, line and sinker, contrary to facts that state otherwise.
DeleteBored troll is boring 🙄 can we focus on the blinds?

DeleteBay Area Girl - Socialism has until today, always killed. What makes you think the 2 did not go together? They absolutely do because the state is above the individual.
ReplyDeleteI have been to Vietnam - wonderful country, with amazing food, surprisingly addictive coffee, and lovely people.
"National Socialist German Workers' Party"
ReplyDeleteA label without meaning unless one is a member of the Chosen Fascists.
You DO know that Nazi's were killing of Socialists in the streets even before Hitler assumed power, right?
"I lived in Italy for a few years and speak fluent Italian"
Who cares.
"Socialism has until today, always killed"
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mislabel Socialism? What is the difference between socialism and communism?
Capitalism has a miserable track record as well. Shall I elucidate?

ReplyDeleteI always read in bed - I read an average of 3 books a week. If I want a little sexy time, I put on my tortoise shell secretary glasses, a silk nightie and get out this giant brick of a history book, I can't get past the first sentence. He loves it.

Exactly where can we find this "Books Turds" ? It sounds like an interesting read.
DeleteThese actors should not ignore Venezuela. As lousy as their economy is right now, you can probably book high quality whores for $75/week. I'm sure $500+shipping would get you a hot 18y/o, w/ no one who will miss her, dropped off at your door in the USA.

ReplyDeleteWho cares.
Boredatwork is, like, a stable genius.
ReplyDeleteYou read my mind... Do you really think?
Delete@boredatwork; for a Brit, you use the slang weirdly.
ReplyDeleteFWIW: a person may be a gobshite, but they will only talk shite.
And even in the finest of your private schools, the correct sentence is: “read books, turds”.
And no, not all of Plots’ countries are Marxist, which is what I’m assuming you’re hold up as “classic” Socialism, but they have socialistic principals, in terms of community-based resources and services.
One would have to be historically dense not to know Nazis=National Socialist. But their ideology was not left wing. Socialism was used as a mechanism to take ownership of private banking and manufacturing interests back into the hands of “real” Germans.
I just don't see Danny Glover in this at ALL!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks plot & AIP. My tiger parents would be so proud.
ReplyDelete"Well except Sweden, Finland, Norway, Costa Rica, Canada to some extent, Hong Kong, Denmark, Holland...more"
ReplyDeleteNone of these countries are socialist. None of them. Some of the northern European ones are social or liberal democracies, that's it. Only a USA-ian could claim this, I see this utter ignorance about European countries all the time.
Actual current socialist countries - North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam. All shitholes. Even China doesn't bother in most respects any more, although it retains its authoritarian ways.
I have plenty of friends who have lived under actual socialism, in countries as varied as old China, the Soviet Union, East Germany, Czechoslovakia as was, as well as Poland and Romania. All would rather cut their fucking arm off before going through that shit ever again.
ReplyDelete"Actual current socialist countries - North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam. All shitholes"
ReplyDeleteNK and Cuba are Communist. Read their own propaganda, they claim it themselves.
Vietnam is going gangbusters at the moment and is a lovely country. Mostly, they are doing better than other "Little Dragons" because they rejected the loans we tried to force on them by our Big Capitalistic Bankers which have led to instability and austerity in so many other countries. Vietnam is absolutely not a shit hole.
"I have plenty of friends who have lived under actual socialism, in countries as varied as old China, the Soviet Union, East Germany, Czechoslovakia as was, as well as Poland and Romania"
ReplyDeletenone of those countries were socialist. They were all Communist under the colonial system of the Soviet Republic.

plot, they are not mutually exclusive. That's all the politics imma do.
Not trying to wade into politics, just trying to clarify some factual points. My parents went back to Vietnam a few years ago for vacation & they fully embrace capitalism and Americans now. There's a Four Seasons in Da Nang. Anthony Bourdain did a very interesting episode about it (politics and his self-rightness aside).
ReplyDeleteChina (my family is ethnically Chinese) is still a Communist system, with special economic zones that essentially allow capitalism.
For anyone who wants to know the difference b/w socialism and communism:
http://www.differencebetween.net/business/difference-between-socialism-and-communism-2/
ReplyDelete"plot, they are not mutually exclusive"
They sure are mutually exclusive as NAZIs and Socialists were fighting street battles in between the world wars as decidedly mutually exclusive entities.
To be fair, there is a lot of confusion around communism vs. socialism & even Marx used the terms interchangeable in early writings.
ReplyDeleteplot is correct about fascism & socialism (& communism) theoretically being mutually exclusive. Fascism by definition, opposes egalitarianism. Socialism & Communism, to a larger extent, advocate communal ownership of property because of the belief of full equality amongst individuals (See Sir Thomas More's Utopia). However, when the radical version of these theories are implemented in practice, they lead to nothing but misery for the average person-which is why many people conflate these theories. I don't think it's a good idea to have blind dedication to any of these systems, including capitalism (See Upton Sinclair's The Jungle and that smog cloud over LA in 1970's & 80's).
Naomi Campbell for the model for sure

ReplyDeletePeace and love people, kick up not down. "Frequented uni" is an odd phrase. Most inelegant. In National Socialism, the National comes first. Ie Nationalism is the subject, Socialism is the object. Perhaps one should attend uni, rather than just frequent it. I don't think Chavez effed Venezuela up much more than, say, my paternal Grandfather privatised Venezuela's oil. Just Chavez had a better cult of personality. See Champagne Socialists.
ReplyDeleteI remember Kevin Spacey in a photo with Chavez back in the day too.

ReplyDeleteplot lists a bunch a countries as socialist, when they aren't, before proving to everyone that he doesn't even know what 'socialism' means, but dismisses the Nazi Party's OWN NAME, which describes THEIR OWN POLITICAL LEANINGS, as 'meaningless words.
ReplyDeleteThere is no hope with this level of cretinous, I rest my case.
To everyone telling me take my political shite somewhere else, or shut the fuck up: you guys are partially right. I agree, this site is not for political debate, and I got carried away.

ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in Italy as a student and the EU was forming, I worked for a Russian photographer part time.

ReplyDeleteAnd ignore those who know nothing and go nowhere, they do not live in reality. A bit like these celebrities who don't live in the real world.
It's a mental illness. They put their fingers in their ears and go "lalalalala I can't hear you lalalalala it's not true lalalalala stop talking lalalala' and then one day, it's too late. Their fingers are cut off and they wonder what the fuck just happened.
I too read books @bored. Have all my life. Try to limit myself to 1 a week - adult learning theory, absorption etc. I’ve actually lived overseas several times - 9 years in the last stint, and when I was a kid we lived in Taiwan during the Clinton era so I know what it’s like to have weekly air raid drills at a very young age. Talk all you want about how scary the world is - my choice to focus on the good is not ignorance has gotten me and and plenty of intelligent people this far. Fear mongering and negative politics only work for so long and only for those who can’t remember how badly it went last time around.
DeleteThe one thing you can count on with socialism: it's only socialism as long as it works. When it doesn't work, it wasn't real socialism.

ReplyDeleteOh do please give us some back up, real sources, for this lovely observation of yours, personally.
"The USSR was as close to real socialism as country ever go"
Nope. It was Communist. And with your inability to know the difference, your credibility is shot.
"only someone who lives in Europe and sees it all everyday can realise it."
ReplyDeleteSome of us have lived in Europe, in multiple countries in fact, yet no immigrant physically accosted us as you claim nor made living there in any way threatening on a daily basis, or weekly basis, or even a yearly basis.
The threat of random gun violence in the USA, perpetrated by home grown idiots, is actually quite a bit worse, both personally and statistically.
"When I lived in Italy as a student and the EU was forming"

ReplyDeleteFor those interested in the history and academics, specifically of post-War Social Democracy vs Communism, I’m reading a fascinating article in the October 2017 edition of the BBC History Magazine (has some other interesting articles such as the Templars, Black Power in 1960s Britain, Queen Mathilda vs Empress Maud...some more “breathless” than others).
ReplyDeleteIt’s titled “Attlee’s secret war with Stalin”, and is written in plain English. Although the architect for Britain’s post-War socially-driven society (foundation of the NHS etc), he was a strong anti-Communist.
