Henry Kissinger has passed away recently at 100 years old. He was the Secretary of State for Nixon for years. His life and been filled with historical developments and massive controversies for the obvious reason. In terms of supporting Western imperialism, Kissinger supported it throughout his life. He escaped the evil, wicked Holocaust when his family fled to America. At least one million people died in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia during the 1960’s and the 1970’s. We know that most of them were killed by U.S. bombs, napalm, and poisoned by Agent Orange. Nixon and Kissinger justified these overt war crimes by saying that they were defending “American freedom” and “democracy” against Communism. Yet, Communism is not monolithic and war crimes against Vietnamese people and against American forces (in the Hanoi Hilton) have no justification period. The secret bombings of Cambodia and Laos were protested worldwide. In 1973, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded jointly to Kissinger and the chief North Vietnamese negotiator at the Paris talks, Le Duc Tho. Kissinger did not go to Norway to collect his award, fearful of the likely mass protests. Le Duc Tho refused his award altogether. Kissinger supported military coups that resulted in dictatorship in Chile by September 1973 (with the CIA-backed reactionary Augusto Pinochet coming into power). Henry Kissinger supported Pakistan's genocide in Bangladesh. In 1985, Kissinger supported the racist Ronald Reagan visiting a Waffen SS military cemetery in Bitburg, West Germany, where Reagan laid a wreath (which is sick). Kissinger traveled from the Soviet Union to China constantly. Kissinger helped to end the Yom Kippur war in 1973. He was a self-loathing anti-Semitic person saying these words "If it were not for the accident of my birth, I would be antisemitic" and "Any people who has been persecuted for two thousand years must be doing something wrong." Kissinger opposed the Jackson-Vanik Amendment that would condition normal trade with the Soviet Union on Moscow allowing Soviet Jewish people to emigrate.
Kissinger made derogatory comments about Soviet Jewish people. "The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy," Mr. Kissinger said. "And if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern." "I know," Nixon responded. "We can't blow up the world because of it." Kissinger and Nixon were pieces of work with that callous, wicked rhetoric. Kissinger negotiated with China to influence China to embrace some free market approaches as it rose to the role of superpower. To this day, Henry Kissinger is beloved in China. Many people in the neoliberal establishment (and the corporate media) love Kissinger, because at his core, his foreign policy positions were mostly neo-liberal and pro-establishment. He didn’t believe in revolutionary change in causing massive waves to improve human lives in a radical way. He was part of the status quo club. Now, we know the truth about Henry Kissinger.
Scott Perry's communication is unsealed in the court records about the 2020 election theft plot. Rep. Scott Perry wanted to contest Donald Trump's loss of the Presidency in the 2020 election. Perry made these text messages from December 2020 to January 2021. He communicated with the pro-Trump appointee Jeffrey Clark about stealing the 2020 election. Perry and Clark discussed this about Trump. Perry talked to Clark about his efforts to get the DOJ official a security clearance that would allow him to get intelligence about the election. Clark asked Perry to tell Trump to provide him access to classified information. Perry said Trump would according to the communications in court records. Perry wanted a Pennsylvania Republican to question the election. This is treason plain and simple. ABC News reported that an attorney warned Trump that it's going to be a crime if he didn't comply with a subpoena for classified documents.
Liz Cheney released her book called "Oath and Honor." This book exposes the Trump movement and the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. It is a book that not only exposed Trump but his enablers. She has criticized pro-Trump Republicans as enablers and collaborators. These people made a conscious decision to violate the oath to the Constitution out of their sick political allegiance to the corrupt Donald Trump. Liz Cheney called Trump "the most dangerous man ever to inhabit the Oval Office." Trump is the most corrupt President of the 21st century and one of the top five worst Presidents in American history in my view. Cheney also condemned the actions of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (she said he told her that Trump knew he had lost the 2020 election). She has criticized the Republican Congressman Mark Green of Tennessee as calling Trump Orange Jesus (Green denies making that comment about Trump). Liz Cheney said that she will do everything to try to not make Trump win the 2024 election. She said that if Trump is the party's nominee in 2024, she will leave the GOP. The treason that Donald Trump and his allies did for years will never be forgotten by us.
New GOP donors funding Nikki Haley as an alternative to Donald Trump. They want her to win the Republican nomination, because Trump obviously is too toxic politically. Nikki Haley was once the Governor of South Carolina. Billionaire Charles Koch is investing his money to Haley. Americans for Prosperity Action is the latest group endorsing Nikki Haley. She is the GOP establishment’s favorite candidate as a Trump alternative. Trump faces four criminal trials. The problem is that the MAGA cult is powerful and most Republicans still want Trump as the Republican nominee for President in 2024. When Nikki Haley was the Republican Governor of South Carolina, she wanted to cut state employee pension and health care benefits as she said in a town hall meeting in Lexington, South Carolina back in 2011. Haley believes that this is about socialism vs. freedom. It is not as many socialists and non-socialists alike do believe in freedom. This election of 2024 is about democracy vs. fascism. Fascism is represented by Trump, the new leader in Argentina, the fascist in the Netherlands, Orban, and other reactionary extremists who abhor human diversity, religious freedom, justice for all, and human equality.
