I am in Germany. The country where Henry Kissinger was born 100 years ago. Whose Jewish family fled Nazi Germany 🇩🇪 in 1938.

The mixed legacy of Henry Kissinger as viewed by The Guardian newspaper

What makes Kissinger’s political life so disturbing. His manic single-minded focus to American power dominance.

The headlines

The destruction of neutral Cambodia in 1970 which led to genocidal Khmer Rouge regime

Kissinger’s destruction of the democratic Socialist Salvador Allende. Ushered in the 17 year dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. A reign of terror and prosecution of political foes.

Henry Kissinger in death “Moral wretchedness.”
Wall Street Journal editorial engages in blatant sophistry in absolving Kissinger of culpability in overthrow of Salvador Allende in Chile 9.11.1973.

Mainstream media for American capitalist predominance notwithstanding. This is why the obituaries are not universal in lauding Kissinger as a great man.
