“Errand boy for the Rockefellers. Never had any other job.”
Posted by: oldhippie | Nov 30 2023 15:58 utc | 45
The Round Table groups were indeed funded by the Rockefellers
But Kissinger was mentored by people like Rhodes Scholar William Yandell Elliott.
Elliott had attended Balliol College, Oxford, which was then the central recruiting ground for the British Round Table.
At Balliol, Elliott was recruited to the Round Table, and became one of its leading organizers in American academia.
So the Rockefellers funded the ‘Round Table’s of freedom’
But Kissingers mentor was a lifelong errand boy for Britains intentions in shaping the US.
While at Harvard, Elliott wrote unabashed British Round Table propaganda
In 1935, Elliott continued this theme in a vitriolic attack upon President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, titled The Need for Constitutional Reform.
Apart from putting an end to political appointments to high office, Elliott proposed:
1) eliminating state and local governments with their replacement by Federal Reserve district “commonwealths “;
2) dissolving the House of Representatives for at least one term; and 3) establishing a method for coordination of the administrative
branches of government.
Elliott concluded:
The essential point on which these reforms are based is that the United States has now become a world power and the type of government control needed to secure the ends of government already set forth can not be achieved under the rigid machinery of 1787.
It is now time to modernize the machinery, not by scrapping it piecemeal, but by a through overhauling and rebuilding of constitutional fundamentals.

Quoting an earlier article
“..Kissinger’s gameplan is not his own.
It is a product, just as he is, of a longstanding British intelligence strategy to maintain the Middle East in a perpetual state of tension and irresolution aimed at undermining the region’s nation-states, including Israel.
This will not only facilitate continued oligarchical control over and manipulation of the area, but enhances British efforts to skew entire national economies away from their commitments to industrial and agricultural development and to transform them into dirty-money, dope-trafficking ventures”

I don’t recall how many decades ago I first heard Henry The K speak, but I do recall deciding that his voice had a mesmeric quality which I found deeply disturbing. Following that conclusion I never listened to his frothings again; preferring instead to measure the effect his drivel had on his audience.
He was extremely good at faking Sincerity. And when a comedian quipped “The key to success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you’ve got it made” I immediately ‘knew’ he was refeŕring to Henry The K.

“It is obvious that the social credit system at work in China was identified by the resto of the world corporatocracy as inevitably linked to the Chinese economic miracle, which they all look for replicating in their own countries before the somber prospects of capitalism at its last death rales and the debt astonishing pyramid about to explode….
While nobody has put his brains at work to come with a new more balanced and fair model, as Duguin points out ( why should they, if the current so much beneffit them?…)”
Posted by: Ghost of Mozgovoy | Nov 30 2023 19:57 utc | 98
A fair and balanced model has worked for millenia; it being stopped by the Greco-Roman later policies-its called Debt Jubilee.
Everyone knows about the Rosetta stone which allowed hieroglyphics to be translated as three languages (hieroglyphics, Greek and Aramaic) were on the stone erected in 108 BC -it was telling of a Debt Jubilee.
Now we did have a Debt Jubilee for the rich in 2009-interest rates went below zero and the rich levered themselves and fattened up but the middle class, lower class got destroyed.
Anyways, you make some interesting points- you might like to read, “The Collapse of Antiquity” by Michael Hudson which can better explain the above principle than I..

Oh dear, did the low-paid contract cleaner (a refugee from Iraq or Timor-L’Oeste perhaps) accidentally pull out the cord wgile vacuuming around Henry Kissinger’s oxygen tank while he was hooked up to it?

come to think it, I couldn’t agree more with Alan MacLeod, though I already noted that it was a pity Kissinger wasn’t in prison at The Hague for life for all his innumerable war crimes and crimes against humanity….
I doubt if anyone from southeast Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos), or southern Africa (Zimbabwe, Namibia, South Africa, Angola, Mozambique, et.al.), or from anywhere in Latin America which was an absolute charnel house of US-installed, sponsored and supported blood-thirsty dictatorships and murderous tyrants, are going to be issuing accolades and fond remembrances of this intellectual scoundrel & war-criminal.

Blaming Kissinger for war crimes is getting everything backwards. Kissinger is bad as part of US THE HEGEMONIC POWER. The US would be just as hegemonic with or without him. In reverse, if Kissinger was not part of US power structure, he would be just another human being – no better or worse than billions others.
The problem is US THE HEGEMONIC POWER. To put blame on single individual is to whitewash the swamp by scapegoating an individual.

Lulz. Do you always go out of your way to find the lowest horse to climb on?
The subcontinent was colonially satrap’d for centuries. Unlike China or indeed Russia and most of Central Asia.
As for the serial mass murderer, I try not to mention such arseholes by name, they should not be venerated. I wonder how many organs he transplanted from who knows whom? To stay alive until 100.
Xi met him this year probably to tell him to his face he had lost. All his plans came to nought. At least I like to imagine he did. I hope the bastard died unhappy for all the suffering he caused.

I do not think the official condolences sent by Russia and China are obsequious. You have to see it in the context.
If you read the Russian text, you see it highlights his contribution to the “detente” that took place “at one time”. But it is clear from the text that this is considered past for now.
The Chinese see in Kissinger the deal maker. Through the deal western companies were able to invest and produce in China. Wages were very low and the companies were able to export the profits. That doped the western stock exchange for years and years. But the machines and the know-how were to stay in China, that was the other side of the deal, and that made China’s economical take off possible. Kissinger’s name, however evil he was as a person, remains linked with this take off.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
a ramble of thoughts before toast and tea on the good news on the lovely news here today
gone tomorow.
To Machevill, religion was a “a childish toy,” and the only sin was ignorance.
a head a front fallen to time
alas without the aid of guillotine and screaming pitchfork goy mob.
a front for sodomite lucifer system enabler gone

Some people call his methods murder, but Machevill thinks this opinion is foolish. He asks the audience what right Caesar had to the crown. Kings are made by “might,”
mafia
Machevill says, and laws come second. A strong nation requires more than laws; a strong nation requires a strong khazar mafia leader thats kosher.

For a class A war criminal, he certainly loomed large in popular culture. The animated series The Venture Brothers, based on 60s superhero/adventure comics and TV shows, features a character known as Dr Henry Killinger who provides strategic and psychological counsel to supervillians, always carrying his ‘Magic Murder Bag’.

In the late 1960s and the early 1970s there was a war between the Soviet Union. Kissinger exploited that rift between these 2 countries in order to pressure the Soviet Union to become more “pliable”. It helped to advance the SALT talks and to decrease tensions in e.g. Europe.

In the late 1960s and the early 1970s there was a war between the Soviet Union in the Far East over a few islands in the Amoer river. Kissinger & Nixon exploited that rift between these 2 countries in order to pressure the Soviet Union to become more “pliable”. That pressure came in the form of Nixon visiting China in 1972. That visit helped to advance the SALT talks and to decrease tensions in e.g. Europe.

Why not just look for the advantages of the oppressive and exploitive system and just step over the dead and wounded victims of capitalism kind of ideology, sort of like a scab at a labor picket line telling the workers on strike why you are going to cross their line: Gee guys, if I had my druthers, I would prefer your idealistic world but, unfortunately, that’s not in the cards-at least until human nature changes, Jesus, don’t be such a bunch of ideologues.

Henry Kissinger, the dean of American diplomats, once confided in a colleague his concerns about the challenge that Beijing would present to the United States. “When [the Chinese] don’t need us,” he reportedly said, “they are going to be very difficult to deal with.”
Another Breitbart article on HK:
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/11/30/peter-schweizer-how-henry-kissinger-became-an-old-friend-of-china-who-rendered-great-help-to-the-ccp/
References a book by Peter Schweizer: “Red-Handed: How American Elites get rich helping China win”.
================================================
I don’t know much about him but I find it a bit of a stretch to prosecute him for war crimes. He was always part of a system, a Rockefeller (and therefore a Rothschild) man, basically a Senior Secretary, like Soros. So if he is to be prosecuted, then so should the people he was working for.
Also: why is he so revered in both Russia and China? They clearly don’t regard him as war criminal. Furthermore, Western funding backed much of China’s rise even though in theory they have no need of it having a public funding banking system even though they are also BIS members, as is Russia. I don’t pretend to know much about all that level of stuff but it does seem that there is far more coordinated integration at the national leadership and oligarchic Big Business levels than appears at the SMO, Gaza and most news coverage levels where all these various nation states seem to be acting independently.
That said, his remark at the top seems wise. China did need us for a while, to get going. Now they don’t. And maybe they haven’t quite forgiven us for the Opium Wars and other humiliations, though hopefully they have it in for the City as well as ordinary Westerners since it was the former who really were behind most of those sorts of Imperial shenanigans.

Here’s Walther Mathau playing a character loosely based on Herman Kahn, as was Dr. Strangelove. Kahn never went full on to the dark side though, arguably he was more about preventing wars from happening, rather than waging them for fun and profit. In the film, which is available on YouTube, there’s another scene where we see how a certain kind of woman was attracted to the powerful vibe of death and destruction that surrounded him, similar to how some ladies were drawn to Kissinger. To this character’s credit, he would have none of her nonsense.
https://youtu.be/NXZF6DwKvCI
When I think of Dr. Kissinger, I think of Philip K. Dick’s Dr. Bloodmoney, from the novel released around the time of Dr. Strangelove.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Bloodmoney,_or_How_We_Got_Along_After_the_Bomb
Dick said of the character, “I have to confess to an overly simple view of Doctor Bluthgeld: I hate him and I hate everything he stands for… I cannot fathom his mind; I cannot understand his hates. It is not the Russians I fear; it is the Doctor Bluthgelds, the Doctor Bloodmoneys, in our own society, that terrify me… [He] is sick, and sick in a way that is dangerous to the rest of us.”

I believe Kissinger was a diplomatic disaster to at best a mediocrity. A realist position is not so special in foreign relations, it is closer to a base standard. Dealing with the reality of national power positions as it is than the fancies you’d prefer is not a grand show of character, it is the minimum requirement for a mature and sane statesman.
That we are surrounded by immature and insane idealist is more an indictment upon the puppet masters, the string-pullers, and their fatuous “public servants.” Yes our times are even worse than before because we have literal caricatures dancing for our public discourse. But that in no way absolves those villains who coarsened our world and set it up to be this sort of joke in the first place.
No, Kissinger is but a mere demonic midwife to the shit we have today.

The Chinese and Russians are civilised peoples – they respect elders. They don’t speak ill of the recently departed. And they hold their enemies close.
That’s how you become a long lasting civilisation.
Us Europeans and our mongrel US bastard child empire offspring under control of the other old civilisation, the evil brother, are mere uncouth , sulky teenagers, who think they know best and will never leave home, expecting to be mothered at the same time as hating the grown ups. Same goes for our captured satraps who have pissed on their ancient civilisations – Japan, India , South Korea and a few others for now.
Kissinger was just another toe rag sociopathic ceo of the Old Slave Owners. I ain’t Russian or Chinese so have no objection to rejoicing in his demise as I did when the Wicked Witch Thatcher finally shuffled off. Demented as she was she had it easier.
HK as I wrote earlier at least had Xi tell him to his face that his great plan had failed, his masters had failed again and this time for the last time.
I doubt Kissinger would have accepted that. Being a die hard natzionist all his postwar life.
I hope that the Bushes, Clinton’s, Blairis, the Bullingdon boys , the Covid salesmen, the barely concealed unelected and corrupt natzio banshees and all the Western oligarchy are slurping down the same cold vengeance in their final days as the naked emperor’s they stand revealed as in front of the whole world they claim control over.
