This is the article that everybody needs to be reading. I’m suddenly a big fan of Spencer Ackerman.

I asked CoPilot to summary the page, which really is a good read; I do encourage you to read the full article if the following summary piques your interest. the “undefined paper” listed as reference is the linked article. copilot goes “private” when inquiring about web pages for whatever reason.

This article is an obituary of Henry Kissinger, a former U.S. national security adviser and secretary of state, who died at the age of 100. The article criticizes Kissinger as a war criminal who was responsible for millions of deaths in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Chile, and other countries. The article also argues that Kissinger helped shape the world order that is now collapsing, and that he was never held accountable for his crimes. Some of the main points of the article are:

• Kissinger sabotaged peace talks in Vietnam: He leaked information to Nixon’s campaign in 1968 to prevent a deal between Johnson and Hanoi, prolonging the war for four more years and killing millions of people.
• Kissinger orchestrated the coup in Chile: He supported the overthrow of the democratically elected socialist president Salvador Allende in 1973, and backed the brutal dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, who tortured and killed thousands of dissidents and implemented neoliberal policies that harmed the majority of Chileans.
• Kissinger enabled genocide and repression: He ignored or encouraged the atrocities committed by U.S. allies in Bangladesh, East Timor, Indonesia, Pakistan, and elsewhere, and participated in Operation Condor, a campaign of assassinations of left-wing activists across Latin America.
• Kissinger expanded U.S. bombing and intervention: He secretly bombed Cambodia and Laos, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians and paving the way for the Khmer Rouge genocide. He also set the precedent for U.S. presidents to bomb countries without congressional or public oversight, as seen in the War on Terror.
• Kissinger was celebrated by the U.S. elite: He received praise and awards from presidents, politicians, journalists, and academics, who admired his geopolitical strategy and ignored or justified his crimes. He was also an informal adviser to several administrations, including Bush and Obama¹[1].

I’m only going to say one thing in these Henry Kissinger threads: Good fucking riddance.

Henry Kissinger How I’m missing yer You’re the Doctor of my dreams

With your crinkly hair and your glassy stare And your machiavellian schemes I know they say that you are very vain And short and fat and pushy but at least you’re not insane

Henry Kissinger How I’m missing yer And wishing you were here

Henry Kissinger How I’m missing yer You’re so chubby and so neat

With your funny clothes and your squishy nose You’re like a German parakeet All right so people say that you don’t care But you’ve got nicer legs than Hitler And bigger tits than Cher

Henry Kissinger How I’m missing yer And wishing you were here

Satan took a look at the new arrival, and thought to himself, “Old and stringy meat, but self-basting. I can have him rendering in his own fat in no time, with the blood of all the children he killed on the side, au jus. Yeah, I can work with that. Stick an apple in his mouth and bring him on down.”

Fuck Rolling Stone though. I still have no respect for them after the UVA thing. (and to much lesser extent their recent 250 guitarists list) what a joke of a publication.

The man who negotiated the first SALT treaty with USSR in 1969, which somehow held until START II in 1993 which never really took effect, sadly. He opened up relations between USA and China in 1971. He led the peace process between Vietnam and the US (leading to his Nobel Peace Prize).

This article is absurd bullshit in how much guilt it lays on Kissinger. For instance, it alludes that the Cambodian genocide was due to Kissinger, while in reality, it was Pol Pot 100%. Even if there are circumstances that lead to committing genocide, country leaders are not unthinking animals with no free will. Pol Pot decided to do this, it’s on him, and it’s one of the many atrocities communist countries have done. You cannot just bullshit your way out of that, no matter how much you like communism.
