    Henry Kissinger is dead at the age of 100. The former U.S. statesman served as national security adviser and secretary of state at the height of the Cold War and wielded influence over U.S. foreign policy for decades afterward. His actions led to massacres, coups and and even genocide, leaving a bloody legacy in Latin America, Southeast Asia and beyond. Once out of office, Kissinger continued until his death to advise U.S. presidents and other top officials who celebrate him as a visionary diplomat. Yale historian Greg Grandin says those glowing obituaries only reveal "the moral bankruptcy of the political establishment" that ignores how Kissinger's actions may have led to the deaths of at least 3 million people across the globe. Grandin is author of "Kissinger's Shadow: The Long Reach of America's Most Controversial Statesman."

    I was wounded in combat in Vietnam. I saw too many people die for reasons I could not put into words. After somehow surviving that train wreck I read what I could about Kissinger and McNamara. They were sociopathic/psychopathic/whatever war criminals. For years I carried handcuffs in my car on the off chance that I might get close enough to attempt a citizen's arrest. If I couldn't get close I was going to throw the handcuffs at them. My actions would have been futile and I would have paid dearly but that's how angry I was at those architects of death, torture, destruction, chaos, etc.

The RAND Corporation is named after her, a company run by the CIA and State Dept. These imperialists and arrogant capitalists have always followed the zealotry of Kissinger to the letter.

    Perhaps the most egregious offense committed by Nixon & Kissinger was their undermining of LBJ’s Paris peace talks to prolong the war in Vietnam ultimately leaving under the same ridiculous terms originally negotiated in 1968 by the Democrats or in other words to allow the NVA to remain in place within the borders of the Republic of South Vietnam to better position themselves for the final takedown of the ARVN in 1975 once the Republicans had so enfeebled themselves politically that they could no longer intervene to prevent the takeover during the Ford administration.

    Sometimes. I softly theorise that one reason why characters like him live to a ripe old age, aside from the good things corrupt power can buy is because 1) they don't want to let go of all their corrupt gains, as the main defining substance of their existence so they ' hang on for dear life' and 2) because of a conscious/unconscious terror of maybe having to account for what they have done, even if it is just a light being shone on their actions.

I personally mistrusted Kissinger. His scary, mysterious voice gives me a case of the horrors. Gen. Omar Torrijos of Panama called him a ''culebra venenosa'' (poisonous snake) after a 1970s era meeting about the status of the Panama Canal. Kissinger never fooled me. I knew that he was a violent, dangerous promoter of imperialist objectives by ''any means necessary''. He was capable of bombing his own mother's home to achieve his imperialist goals.

    During his time in charge of the American foreign policy machine, Kissinger also directed illegal arms sales to Pakistan as it carried out a brutal crackdown on its Bengali population in 1971. He supported the 1973 military coup that overthrew a democratically elected socialist government in Chile, gave the go-ahead to Indonesia’s 1975 invasion of East Timor, and backed Argentina’s repressive military dictatorship as it launched its “dirty war” against dissenters and leftists in 1976. His policies during the Ford administration also fueled civil wars in Africa, most notably in Angola.
    Even the most generous calculations suggest that the murderous regimes Kissinger supported and the conflicts they waged were responsible for millions of deaths and millions of other human rights abuses, during and after the eight years he served in the American government.

    This is a story of corruption of power. There was never about morality. It is about power for him.

    So true. You can map the trajectory of Kissinger's career with the atrocities and evilness of US foreign policy since the 1960's.

    I watched Peter Sellers' character in 'Dr. Strangelove', with his nazi salute, ha. Sellers looked so uncannily like Kissinger, years before Kissinger was well known.

    This guy passed away to the other world leaving everything in this world but his racism, hypocrisy, evil actions, arrogance, and the pain/misery that he has caused to millions around the world. I guess he's got a lot of questions to answer in front of the Supreme judge !!!!!

      Dearest @wisdom6803, It's so sad because Henry was a born Jew, but he became (in-) famous in this world and I would be terrified when your'e not a (new born) Christian and have to stand trial before The Almighty Lord God.

      @user-me6lm5lw8m please note that he was a Godless zionist and that's totally different from being a true Jew. As a matter of fact, our true Jewish brothers suffered a great deal from the insanity, hypocrisy, blasphemy, and devilish actions of the Zionism throughout history for 1000's of years keeping in mind the difference in the naming of "Zionism" in different lapses of history .

    Never liked Kissinger while growing up in Illinois. His policies were lopsided and caused upheavals in the world. Not everything he did was without cost to lives and humanity.

      I’d read such an obit with enthusiasm. And a second obit by Christopher Hitchens to round it off.
