Henry Kissinger is DEAD to me!!

Satan has called him home

He was a little naughty.

Am I wrong or was Kissinger a real asshole?

R3 read the Christopher Hitchins book on him

I didn't know he was still alive.

Will DJT attend the funeral?

Death is the greatest aphrodisiac.

Fetch the pitchforks and boiling tar

He was still alive?

He had a hot ass but he couldn’t live forever.

He's in hell now!

Will Nixon and Kissinger now team up to take over hell from Satan?

His heart will live on.

Up to no good all his life. Dreadful legacy

You probably don’t know he was a closeted homosexual.

One of my best friends was a Jew.

Bohemian Grove will never be the same.

I give him credit for remaining very much in the arena until the very end.

R18. Is that you, Tricky Dick?

[quote] Bohemian Grove will never be the same.

The god-damned faggiest place I ever saw.

Henry was mobile not too long ago. He was at Trump's State Dinner for Macron in 2018. Sheesh, Nancy's neck.

RIH, monster

Somewhere, Christopher Hitchens is smiling.

One less Jew for me to count.

Rot in pieces

Bump for original thread

Burning in hell like he deserves!

IT FINALLY HAPPENED is trending on Twitter.

[quote] One less Jew for me to count.

Fewer!

Satan just needed another demon.

Cause of death?

Just when he was most needed in the Middle East

So young . . .

Vaxxed?

Thank you very much!

Died due to pnp fisting

He should have died decades ago.

This one hits hard.

I LOVE YOU, R36 ! ! !

Fucking FINALLY.

It came true.

Jimmy Carter is driving his Bed Car up from Plains.

He wants to make sure the fuck's not only merely dead, he's really most sincerely dead

You should see his open mouth and cheeks flapping with the wind!

Trick gone bad

OR

suicide?

At least Jimmy Carter will outlive him a bit.

Another young man inexplicably dies after being vaxxed!

The second of this current death triad ... is there some mystic symbolism involving the golden arches?

Predictions for the next two celebrity deaths-JoBeth Williams and Maureen McCormick

He was still writing & traveling abroad, meeting world leaders, so I wasn’t expecting this news.

We all know who we want to finish the triad, r47.

R48, Jimmy Carter or Shannen Doherty.

Today was a good day.

He's said to have lost his appetite, R50.

He travelled to China to meet with Xi just a few months ago. He was treated like a god.

Nicer legs than Hitler and bigger tits than Cher.

R30

[quote]Satan just needed another demon.

That is the only explanation.

It is my hope that Trump goes next, but unfortunately the reality is that Jimmy Carter is going and soon. Looking at him at his wife's funeral, he looks like he has only a few weeks at most.

My dad called himself a conservative, but unlike the conservatives of today he had problem stating republicans he didn’t like. Kissinger was one of them. He said he knew the Nobel Peace Prize was a joke when Kissinger won.

Pat Robertson AND Henry Kissinger both dead in the same year? I guess evil does die.

Has anyone seen Moscow Mitch lately? He could well round out that trio, R58.

OP was in such hurry to post first that she didn’t even wait to link to an article.

"You've been a good and faithful servant, Kissinger, but only I can live forever"

Henry Kisshingher!

Wow the liberal press isn't holding back. Rolling Stone titled its obituary: "GOOD RIDDANCE Henry Kissinger, War Criminal Beloved by America’s Ruling Class, Finally Dies - The infamy of Nixon's foreign-policy architect sits, eternally, beside that of history's worst mass murderers. A deeper shame attaches to the country that celebrates him".

Yikes.

[quote]IT FINALLY HAPPENED is trending on Twitter.

Jeeze! I just looked on Twitter for a few minutes and it seems that nobody liked Kissinger at all.

Would it be amazing if #IT FINALLY HAPPENED was about Dump.

Was he a bigger war criminal than Robert McNamara?

Never thought I'd live to see the day.

Yes R65. Kissinger was one of the most evil men to have ever lived. Read about his dealings with Chile, Cambodia, Vietnam and a host of other war crimes. He should have been tried in The Hague.

67 posts and no one has mentioned his cameo on "Dynasty"?

A Twitter account “Is Kissinger Dead Yet?”

“This must be what meth feels like.”

“Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.” — Henry Kissinger

The shit he pullled in Cambodia alone is enough to earn him eternal damnation. The Killing Fields is one of the saddest, moving movies I’ve ever seen—if you want to see the aftermath of Kissinger’s actions, watch it. Despicable.

I've never seen The Killing Fields R71. I'll watch it tonight.

That's a very cute Twitter account R69.

Plus Pakistan/Bangladesh. "Well, we certainly can't let that country go Communist - those millions of people will just have to die."

I'll be very interested to see who goes to *his* funeral. I bet the Clintons will go, but I hope Biden stays away. (But I bet he won't.)

R66. How old are you?

I wonder who's Kissinger now?

Funeral? What funeral?!

Just throw him in a black hefty bag and leave it at the curb; the sanitation department will take it from there.

The OG US War Criminal.

He's with Pinochet now.

"Where the secretary and I have a very profound difference, in the last debate — and I believe in her book — very good book, by the way — in her book and in this last debate, she talked about getting the approval or the support or the mentoring of Henry Kissinger. Now, I find it rather amazing, because I happen to believe that Henry Kissinger was one of the most destructive secretaries of state in the modern history of this country. I am proud to say that Henry Kissinger is not my friend. I will not take advice from Henry Kissinger. And in fact, Kissinger’s actions in Cambodia, when the United States bombed that country, overthrew Prince Sihanouk, created the instability for Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge to come in, who then butchered some 3 million innocent people, one of the worst genocides in the history of the world. So count me in as somebody who will not be listening to Henry Kissinger." - Bernie Sanders

Rest, you piece.

[quote]Pat Robertson AND Henry Kissinger both dead in the same year? I guess evil does die.

But unfortunately it takes a FUCKING LONG TIME.

Speaking of Pat Robertson, I was at home when I found out he died and I poured myself a celebratory drink. I lived through the 80s and that motherfucker was evil.

Buck would never have lied about carpet-bombing Cambodia!

For real? The GQP may have slurped him for as much as they could, and the some.

[quote] That's a very cute Twitter account

Squee!

R5 Same here

R79 Bandwagon Bernie just doin' what he takes. The enemy of my enemy isn't necessarily my friend.

😮!!!

He’s now with me in the center of my realm. He sends his love.

I vear these too he's furnreal , no?

Thought of this Anthony Bourdain quote

[quote]I didn't know he was still alive.

Neither did I.

You just know Jimmy Carter is next.

It hasn't been a good week for 1970's power players.

I am quite amazed, though, at how long they all lived.

I am going to assume that this is why REST IN PISS, BOZO! is trending on Twitter?

Reportedly, he had horrific denture breath.

R95, did he die from halitosis?

That’s what killed him, r95.

Horrific Denture Breath is the name of my new punk band.

R98, or Denture Breath Death

I'm poster 100!

I just plugged Barack Obama into Twitter and like me thousands are dreading what form of thoughts and prayers “Michelle and I” will be offering to the Kissinger family.

[quote] I'm poster 100!

No you're not, R101.

R102, Trump's tombstone's future.

Goddamn you, R100!

Has Jill St. John commented?

He was an interesting statesman who coined the term "power is the ultimate aphrodisiac" and had a very tall, mannish wife.

Too bad Larry King is no longer with us. I'd love to hear D list celebrities like Kim Fields calling in with their thoughts on Kissinger's passing.

Major Commie-hound, huge Nixon supporter!

“Pray with me, Henry”.

It will be a Holiday In Cambodia!

R112, good for them. He's responsible for how many deaths there, again?

Wasn't even born an American. Just another grifter

Possibly the ultimate self-hating Jew.

"In good news today..."

Karma Houdini extraordinaire.

On the plus side, he's finally getting his karma in the waiting room for the afterlife, where he's being forced to listen to Jimmy Corkhill drone on about the decline of society.

He gave me an autographed copy.

Why was Hillary such good friends with him? I’ve never understood it.

@r109, " I'd love to hear D list celebrities like Kim Fields calling in with their thoughts on Kissinger's passing. "

I gave him his first blow job on video...

R120 because Hillary likes power and clout.

DING DONG motherfucker

R21

I forget which airport this but was about a year ago, but my husband saw Stephen King walking alongside Kissinger and his wife (both in wheelchairs) and he was recording them with his phone. Surreal.

It is sad to compare a dynamic, accomplished person like Henry Kissinger to the current crop of politicians. He was also a player !

A lifetime spent sucking notoriously antisemitic right wing cock

could even make the tricky dicks cum

^ You're nuts, he's getting slaughtered all over the internet for his atrocities

Well, the Huffpost headline certainly pulled no punches:

THE BELTWAY BUTCHER

WAR CRIMINAL KISSINGER DEAD AT 100

I don't know anything about Henry Kissinger, except for maybe his name and that he worked for Richard Nixon.

But I haven't heard a peep about him being a "butcher" or a "war criminal."

Because the media never really reported this.

So why are they calling him out all of a sudden, and not while he was alive??

(PS, I believe everything that is being said about him, bu I also find it typical of the media that there wasn't a mention of what a horrible person he was, until after he died. Kind of cowardly, if you ask me.)

R130 The same thing is happening with George Bush. The media is allowing his 'rehabilitation' though he remains a disgusting war criminal. He led the U.S. into a war on false pretenses which killed thousands of Iraqis and 4000 U.S. servicemen.

There is ample evidence that he knew Iraq was not a security threat:

In President Bush’s first speech to the nation, on October 7, 2002, from Cincinnati, he told the American people that Saddam Hussein was great danger to our nation, either by Hussein attacking us with WMDs, or by giving these weapons to a terrorist group to do so. Bush said this attack could happen on “any given day,” meaning that the threat was imminent. The only big problem for Bush in a trial is that on October 1, just six days earlier, the CIA sent Bush its 2002 National Intelligence Estimate, a classified, top-secret report, that represented the consensus opinion of all sixteen US intelligence agencies on the issue of whether or not Hussein was an imminent threat to the security of this country. On page 8, it clearly and unequivocally says… that Hussein was not an imminent threat to the security of this country; that he would only be a threat to us if he feared that America was about to attack him. So we know–not think, but know–that when George Bush told the nation on the evening of October 7, 2002, that Saddam Hussein was an imminent threat to the security of the nation, he was telling millions of unsuspecting Americans the exact opposite of what his own CIA was telling him. Even if we have nothing else at all, this alone shows that Bush took this nation to war on a terrible lie, and therefore all the killings of American soldiers in Iraq were unlawful killings and therefore murder

The fact that since the late 1960s US presidents were listening to and adopting the ideas of psychopaths like Henry Kissinger and Dick Cheney that were tantamount to war crimes is what diminished the US legacy in the view of the rest of the world.

R130, if you really "don't know anything about Henry Kissinger, except for maybe his name and that he worked for Richard Nixon," then you obviously haven't been paying attention to news media over the past decades, so how would you know they haven't made "a peep about him being a 'butcher' or a 'war criminal'"? There's been plenty of harsh criticism of Kissinger in the press (along with too much undeserved respect, of course).

[quote] I don't know anything about Henry Kissinger, except for maybe his name and that he worked for Richard Nixon. But I haven't heard a peep about him being a "butcher" or a "war criminal." Because the media never really reported this

So it’s the fault of the “media” you are barely educated?

His dildo was Made in China.

I'm sure he did have horrible denture breath.

I'm sure there was an overwhelming rotting smell from every orifice.....he was a monster.

I wonder how long ago his obituary - at least large swaths of it - was written.

R137 I'm sure it's been in some part or form prewritten for many many years.

I'll never forget the day when "Uncle Henry" visited us on the set of The Partridge Family. Such a wonderful man! May he rest in peace.

Cheers!

Did he have to take Shane MacGowan with him?

What took him so long?

The Trials of Henry Kissinger

R70 and that is the exact blueprint Vladimir Putin is using.

Henry gets too much credit for the Cold War. when the architects of the Cold War were the Dulles brothers Allen at the CIA and John Foster Dulles, Eisenhower's Secretary of State. They were the original war criminals and gave us Vietnam assassinations all over the world to install our favorite dictators who would enable corporate interests. Kissinger was their heir and totally embraced the blueprint they had laid out. Republicans have been horrible people for a long time.

Right on cue, the ancient muppet faced hag Andrea Mitchell was all over MSNBC this morning praising the dead war criminal.

[quote]I wonder how long ago his obituary - at least large swaths of it - was written.

Many, many years ago, I can assure you.

If I'm not mistaken, Mary Richards worked on it for WJM.

Are you certain OP? Was there a stake in his chest and was his head removed?

His legacy was diminished during his lifetime. Kissinger probably didn't give a fuck but he was outed and condemned as a blood thirsty war criminal. Total scum.

I was watching a discussion show last night and it was revealed that according to Yale University historian Greg Grandin, who wrote a biography on Kissinger called " Kissinger's Shadow" 2015;

"from 1969 to 1976, the direct decisions made by Kissinger with his signature on the decisions/directives - led to the [bold]death of 3 million to 4 million people[/bold] around the world".

Kissinger was completely uninterested in the deaths of cannon fodder civilians and was only focussed on the outcome he wanted - regardless of how many other serious and ongoing issues the outcome he wanted caused.

And that he did EVERYTHING he could to hide those deaths which were a direct result of his decisions from Congress and the American people - and therefore world.

I would go so far to say that Kissinger has been greatly responsible for much of the anti-American sentiment from around the world in the last 50 years.

His is not a legacy to be proud of or to be held up as something to be revered. He was one of the most shameful people in recent American history.

Hope he burns in hell.

That literally makes him as bad as Hitler.

Oh, the irony.

R144 you are the world's biggest dumbass.

Describe how dark lord PUTIN is doing any of that.

R151 - I put Grandin's book on my Kindle earlier this morning.

Can you tell me what discussion show this was? I'd like to watch it, if it was posted online

It was on ABC's The Drum yesterday R154 (Australian version of BBC). Not sure if you can watch but I've linked yesterday's episode.

Grandin's research and facts from his book were mentioned as they were discussing Kissinger. The discussion on Kissinger begins at 20.00.

R154 - I was just watching today's PBS NewsHour and they did a piece on Kissinger and Greg Grandin was interviewed about Kissinger for the story if you're interested. The Kissinger part begins at 23. 20 at the link.

The media, then as now, figuratively absolved Kissinger of any crimes against humanity because he became Show-Biz-Adjacent.

[quote]His legacy was diminished during his lifetime. Kissinger probably didn't give a fuck but he was outed and condemned as a blood thirsty war criminal. Total scum.

His legacy was diminished while he served in the Cabinet. We knew he was a blood thirsty war criminal and total scum at the time.

Seven pages in the NYT. More than many presidents.

Younger DLers - under 60, maybe - might not know how much the right-wingers of the '70s hated Kissinger.

R160 they hated all "Rockefeller Republicans"

That may be part of it (although the Rocky animus was more of a '60s thing), R161, but they most particularly did not like his detente policy. He was too much of an appeaser for their tastes.

You breathed. You took up space. You bombed Cambodia.

If there's one lesson to take from Henry Kissinger's life, it's to strive to live in a way that means the reaction to your death will be the opposite of the public reaction to his.

Unfortunately, in the circles he traveled, and the world he inhabited he will be lauded. Those people are in another world altogether. And he was their darling boy.
