> The prime target was South Vietnam. The aggression later spread to the North, then to the remote peasant society of northern Laos, and finally to rural Cambodia, which was bombed at the stunning level of all allied air operations in the Pacific region during World War II, including the two atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In this, #HenryKissinger’s orders were being carried out — “anything that flies on anything that moves” — a call for genocide that is rare in the historical record. Little of this is remembered.
#CallForGenocide

The modern politician is less interested in being a hero than a superstar. Heroes walk alone; stars derive their status from approbation. Heroes are defined by inner values, stars by consensus. When a candidate's views are forged in focus groups and ratified by television anchorpersons, insecurity and superficiality become congenital. Radicalism replaces liberalism, and populism masquerades as conservatism.
-- Henry Kissinger

In his will, Henry Kissinger, who died last year at the age of 100, requested a "monument" in his memory be erected in Arlington National Cemetery to mark the site where he is buried. According to his literary executor L. Paul Bremer, it's not happening. Bremer told @politico that the cemetery has tightened its rules on private markers and consequently "there will be a tombstone, a grave marker." The former secretary of state's will also reveals that he died a very rich man, with a personal fortune of at least $80 million, most of which will go to his wife, Nancy, and his family.

>> #Trump signals support in call w/ #Netanyahu: ‘Do what you have to do’.

Now, all Trump has to do upon reelection is to echo #HenryKissinger and tell Bibi that "If there are things that have to be done, you should do them QUICKLY."

THIS is why Netanyahu, who wants to #finishTheJob “a lot faster,” has been undermining #Biden and waiting for Trump to win.

Today in Labor History October 16, 1973: Mass murderer and War Criminal Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, along with Lê Đức Thọ, for their work in orchestrating a ceasefire in the Vietnam War. Two Nobel Prize committee members resigned in protest. During his diplomatic career, Kissinger was involved in orchestrating and/or supporting the Chilean coup and Pinochet dictatorship (over 3,000 killed); the Argentine Dirty War (up to 30,000 killed); the Pakistani genocide in Bangladesh (3 million killed); and the Genocide in East Timor (up to 300,000 killed).
