A few words about Henry Kissinger...
The adulation of Henry Kissinger following his death is dark, but not unexpected. This celebrated 'Nobel Peace Prize' Winner, was a bonafide War Criminal @ the time he was awarded. He was given this Award 4 'Ending the (ongoing) Vietnam War', but he was personally responsible 4 the death of Hundreds of Thousands of Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotians, & East Timorians. He actually extended this 'Police Action', causing unnecessary deaths on Both Sides. Kissenger then went on 2 cause War & Destruction across Afrika & Latin America; destabilizing Governments & supporting ruthless Dictators... We can thank Kissenger 4 the current Illegal Immigrant Crisis.
We can also thank Henry Kissenger 4 'Waking The Sleeping Giant' of China. Richard Nixon dispatched Henry Kissenger 2 China; he set up the historic Meeting between Richard Nixon & Mao Zedong in 1972. The American Public were told that The U.S. was Opening Diplomatic Relations w/ The People's Republic Of China, but Henry Kissinger was negotiating 4 American Business Interests. In 1979, China's GDP was 1% of The U.S. GDP. By 2000, China's GDP grew 2 $7 Trillion. As of 2020, it is $17 Trillion. We can correlate China's rise 2 Economic Greatness w/ the creation & growth of America's 'Rust Belt'.
Henry Kissenger obviously had help from the likes of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, & George H. W. Bush (41); but I credit him as the 'Point Man' in China. The current tension between the 2 Nations began w/ his initial efforts 2 'open' China, 2 Corporations eager 2 break American Unions & cut salaries. The 95% jump in China's GDP/ U.S. GDP over the last 45Yrs ($13 Trillion just over the last 20Yrs); compared w/ the near destruction of America's Middle Class is pretty hard 2 miss. In their recent Summit, Xi Jinping told the Biden Delegation that 'The World is big enough 4 both of Us'. Multinational Production in China has become so large, China is not afraid of Real Competition... Now that's how 'Superior Men' walk.
Henry Kissenger is literally The Architect of America's Billionaire Class. His Foreign Policy actions crippled American Workers, while rewarding Corporate Boardrooms exponentially. The numbers don't lie- We see the disparity between Worker & Executive salaries rise dramatically after 1979- when The U.S. Officially recognized The People's Republic Of China. Joe Biden is likely the 'last hurrah' 4 This Generation; his blatant warmongering has Young Adults thinking twice. As the Next Generation takes Power, We have 2 B mindful that past generations were also idealistic. America's Future Leaders need 2 focus internally. We need 2 reevaluate America's Foreign Policy of interfering- does it really work 4 American Citizens?
Kissenger lived 100Yrs & by all accounts, had a very productive Life. He literally Worked until he Dropped... I wonder how a man that escaped Nazi Germany could do the things that he has, then I remember what his Generation of 'Surivors' did in Palestine. In that light, Kissinger was par 4 The Course.
