Henry Kissinger’s death resulted in an outpouring of hatred toward the former National Security Adviser and Secretary of State, especially from CounterPunch. Even a few of my readers mistook my explanation of Kissinger as a justification of the war crimes so many accuse him of. I have noticed over recent decades the increasing tendency of... Read More
The announced death of Jew Henry Kissinger (real name Loeb. His great-great-grandfather adopted the name of a Bavarian spa town) comes as a reprieve from decades of mass slaughter and misery for many millions around the world, brutal Big Lies and deceptive scheming, grave and grand injustices, corrupt venality and greed, war-mongering, power-tripping, and great...

Henry Kissinger at 100 years of age left the world he temporarily altered for the better after watching the neoconservatives in the Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden regimes wipe out his accomplishments. Kissinger and President Nixon were men of peace. They inherited a disastrous war–Vietnam–that they had no hand in making. President... Read More
In the illustrious culmination of his 100-year career, Henry Kissinger arrived in Hell today and was immediately appointed Satan's National Security Advisor. Kissinger will spend the rest of eternity devising futile diplomatic ruses and stratagems aimed at enhancing Hell's nonexistent chances of defeating Heaven. At a press conference announcing the appointment, Satan said that even... Read More
In 1997, Zbig Brzezinski, the original ‘driver’ behind the making of Afghanistan as a quagmire of ‘mud’ into which Russia was to be dragged, wrote his celebrated book, The Grand Chessboard. It was a work that ‘forever’ embedded the Mackinder doctrine of ‘he who controls the Asian heartland controls the world’ into the U.S. zeitgeist.... Read More
It was a photo op for the ages: a visibly well-disposed President Xi Jinping receiving centenarian "old friend of China" Henry Kissinger in Beijing. Mirroring meticulous Chinese attention to protocol, they met at Villa 5 of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse – exactly where Kissinger first met in person with Zhou Enlai in 1971, preparing Nixon’s...

Henry Kissinger’s narrative is not coherent at this point. He was seemingly siding with Russia, then he switched it up and said the Ukraine has to join NATO. Now he’s mixing the seemingly conflicting narratives together. I guess we need to remember, regardless of what we think of Kissinger (I’m generally positive about his record,... Read More
A lot of people on the right seem to dislike Henry Kissinger. I used to have a negative opinion of him, but after having read about his relationship with Richard Nixon, my general opinion leads towards favorable. He seems to be one of the few Jews you can point to who actually does seem to... Read More
Henry Kissinger was one of the only top level statesmen in the Western world standing in opposition to the war in the Ukraine, and calling for an immediate peace settlement. It’s not really clear what it implies that he’s now reversed his position on NATO membership. Presumably he believes this is more likely to lead... Read More
Do you know why Henry Kissinger's speech at the World Economic Forum touched-off such a furor? Kissinger didn't criticize the way the war in Ukraine is being conducted or the lack of progress on the ground. No. What Kissinger criticized was the policy itself, that's what triggered the firestorm. He was throwing a bucket of... Read More
Among the works that first brought Henry Kissinger to academic acclaim was "A World Restored," his 1950s book about how the greatest diplomats of Europe met at the Congress of Vienna to restore order to a continent shattered by the Napoleonic Wars. The balance-of-power peace these men achieved lasted -- with the significant exception of... Read More
Henry Kissinger thinks the Coronavirus is a threat to his precious New World Order, so he wants President Trump to do whatever he can to protect the system. In an opinion piece that was published in the Wall Street Journal on Friday, the former Secretary of State urged Trump to launch a grand project, like... Read More
In April 2014, ESPN published a photograph of an unlikely duo: Samantha Power, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and former national security adviser and secretary of state Henry Kissinger at the Yankees-Red Sox season opener. In fleece jackets on a crisp spring day, they were visibly enjoying each other’s company, looking for all the... Read More
The only person Henry Kissinger flattered more than President Richard Nixon was Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran. In the early 1970s, the Shah, sitting atop an enormous reserve of increasingly expensive oil and a key figure in Nixon and Kissinger’s move into the Middle East, wanted to be dealt with as a serious...

Why do I always seem to be writing about Henry Kissinger? I once listened to the man who helped prolong the Vietnam War for half a decade declare that its “tragedy” lay in the fact “that the faith of Americans in each other became destroyed in the process.” I later took to the (web)pages of...

In my most recent piece for Asia Times Online, I discussed calls for Edward Snowden to “do an Ellsberg” i.e. demonstrate his patriotic lovingkindness by surrendering to US authorities. In his memoir Secrets, Ellsberg details the dirty tricks projects the Nixon administration initiated against him and speculates their purpose was to blackmail him into shutting... Read More
Readers of this blog have been aware of a certain back and forth on the issue of China’s current geopolitical posture vis a vis the United States. I’ve argued that China is anxious over the Obama administration’s rollback against Chinese economic and diplomatic penetration in the Middle East and Africa and the forthcoming high-stakes fracas...
