At 100 years old Henry Kissinger has passed. Unlike the insane virtue signaling morally defective leftists who dance when a conservative opponent passes, that's not what conservatives do. Conservatives value decency, but that doesn't preclude recognizing the reality, truth, or the obviation of history of who and what they were. There's no reason why decency and honesty shouldn't go hand in hand, and the world needs to be honest about Henry Kissinger's legacy.
There are two articles I've linked today over this:
- Henry Kissinger – A Tangled Legacy
- Henry Kissinger, Former Secretary of State, Dies at 100
You will notice there's no gleeful vilification of his legacy in these articles, unlike the type of glee you see on major media news sites for the death of a conservative leader. But truth will very patiently wait for us, and the truth of his legacy needs to be exposed, no matter how unpleasantly it may impact who he was.
Let's start with this incontrovertible historical fact. Kissinger was a disaster for the civilized world.
For
more years than I can remember I've felt Kissinger was an intelligent, over educated, over
pampered, over catered to blithering idiot, and it appears the bug man was
right after all, imagine that! Time and truth are on the same side, and
he's been exposed for what a nitwit he was for all the world to see. Europe made a
grave mistake by listening to this nitwit and the man he mentored, Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum, which is in fact pushing on the world a form of viral neo-communism.
"Unfortunately, this reimagined world Klaus Schwab is talking about
is the totalitarian globalist world ruled by a few and the rest of us
are not happy with their social engineering"
Kissinger's positions and actions have imperiled the world for
decades. He was the one who went to China for Nixon and opened China to
world trade, saving Mao and his maniacal crowd of murders. Since then America
has been enriching China funding it's own destruction, and the elitists like
Kissinger supported that.
When I read prominent people talking about how brilliant Richard Nixon
was on foreign affairs I really see red, and I put Henry Kissinger in that same
category. Nixon opened China up to the world's economy, thinking to offset Soviet influence and power. And Kissinger was
a major part of that.
Why would anyone believe that was a good idea?
Mao's Great Leap Forward 'killed 45 million in four years' of his rule by selling the food they needed to survive in order to buy arms.
Mr Dikötter, who has been studying Chinese rural history from 1958 to
1962, when the nation was facing a famine, compared the systematic
torture, brutality, starvation and killing of Chinese peasants to the
Second World War in its magnitude. At least 45 million people were
worked, starved or beaten to death in China over these four years; the
worldwide death toll of the Second World War was 55
million.....................
State retribution for tiny thefts, such as stealing a potato, even by a
child, would include being tied up and thrown into a pond; parents were
forced to bury their children alive or were doused in excrement and
urine, others were set alight, or had a nose or ear cut off. One record
shows how a man was branded with hot metal. People were forced to work
naked in the middle of winter; 80 per cent of all the villagers in one
region of a quarter of a million Chinese were banned from the official
canteen because they were too old or ill to be effective workers, so
were deliberately starved to death.
.
And Nixon and Kissinger thought making a deal with monsters like that was a good idea?
Kissinger has been a globalist for all of his life, so as you read this article, which was a mere ten years ago, he was still touting the One World Government theme, and blaming everyone else because his corrupt schemes were failing. As you review what he's promoted over the decades one has to ask: How can anyone
so smart be so stupid? Answer: Ideology makes smart people
stupid.
Now as the curtain is coming down, he all of a sudden embraced the foreign policies of Donald Trump, all of which are totally opposite of what he and Nixon embraced, and totally out
of character for him, and the world view he's presented over and over again. I have to wonder what's he up to? Even with an ego as massive as
his (at the time he was 94) he couldn't possibly have still wanted to be in the game? Could he? I'll tell you what. We'll come back to that.
I've not had any respect for Kissinger as long as I've known about
him. If he told me day was light and night was dark, I'd make sure to go
outside and make sure. Even with an ego as massive as his, at the time he
was around 94, did he actually think it was possible he could get back into the
game?
Nixon's Presidency was filled with huge mistakes, but opening up China to
the world was his biggest mistake. Mao's economy after his violent and
destructive Cultural Revolution was in shambles, and if Nixon had stayed home
and minded the business of America, I seriously doubt the Chinese Communist
Party would still be in existence. But he didn't, and now were paying the
price for his, and Kissinger's, stupidity. That gave the CCP the economy
they needed to fund their war against America.
Many years ago I had an
account who was related to Kissinger, and while at an event he went up to him
and said his grandfather, and Kissinger's grandfather were brothers. I
asked what did Kissinger say? His wife answered, Kissinger said, "Ja",
then rudely turned on his heel and walked away. That told me all I had to
know about Kissinger in order to fill in the rest.
Now the globalist who supported all the masive immigration that's destroying Europe takes an amazing stand about Hamas in this latest war.
Israel
can't yield to Hamas threat to kill hostages, says Henry Kissinger -
Asked by Döpfner how he would handle Hamas' threat to hostages, Kissinger said:
"Sitting on the outside, it is not possible for me to state a complete
answer.""Theoretically and conceptually, I would say that we cannot
yield to that," he said. Peace talks are "inconceivable" if
"terrorists can appear openly and take hostages and kill
people,"...............Hamas' actions, he said, are evidence that the
group wants to "mobilize the Arab world against Israel" and end any
prospect of peace negotiations......
Theoretically and conceptually? What's exactly does that mean? Even when he's right he's wrong. This attack
is an effort to "mobilize the Arab world against Israel"?
Again, Kissinger either fails to understand the real gravity of the situation,
or he's ignoring it. This is an effort to mobilize the Islamic world
against all Jews and all Christians. This is a declaration of war on the
world, and Kissinger is once again failing to understand, or choosing to
misunderstand what's going on by hedging reality. Just as he's done his
whole life in support of his globalist schemes, all of which are proving to be
abject failures. Academics need to be on tap, not on tap. That way
they can be ignored and any damage they may do can be marginalized.
Well, how's this for concept and theory? Europe Let in Too Many Foreigners, Says Henry Kissinger in Wake of Pro-Hamas Demonstrations Across Continent. In other words all he promoted his whole life was an insane "conceptual theory" that would destroy western civilization. And of course it's the fault of Europe's leaders. Make sure to read this article.
Kissinger's
life has been a grave mistake as his positions and actions have
imperiled the world for decades and all that's coming to fruition. Henry Kissinger, who was unendingly self serving, and I truly think totally untrustworthy, has died at 100 years old.
I believe he embraced this new tact in an attempt to ameliorate the disaster of his legacy. But I'm betting history will not be kind to Kissinger, his legacy, or his character. All of which I consider a disgrace. While I will not applaud his passing, I am not saddened by his passing.
