We humans are quite strange creatures. It's always amazed me that how, people born in the same house, loved by same parents, taught by same teachers, turn out to be so different from one another. Every human is a unique individual and this uniqueness is defined by all kinds of traits for example one person is kind, other is resilient, some are highly moral, while others are immoral, some are good at heart while some others are evil. Just like Chinese philosophy of Yin & Yang, everything in this universe exists in balance with its antonym. Like light is balanced by darkness, fire is balanced by water and similarly good in this world is balanced by evil. Although I myself believe that positive forces have inherent capability to exist autonomously, but who am I to challenge Confucious right. And it is this battle between good and evil that has caused most human suffering in all our history.
Facing ever increasing threat of Communist rebels to their authority, Cambodian government asked for help from Richard Holbrook who was at that US Ambassador to Cambodia. With approval from Nixon and especially Kissinger, Richard Holbrook personally directed the bombing campaign of Cambodia from US Embassy in Phnom Penh. This in itself was an illegal act according to diplomatic charter of UN. But nevertheless Holbrook directed US Airforce's bombing raids on the suspected Khmer supportive villages and hamlets. Hundred and thousands of innocent villagers died in these bombing campaigns. And tragically most who died in these bombing raids had no connection to Khmer Rouge at all. About 180,000 innocent civilians were killed in these murderous and illegal bombing campaigns on Cambodia.
But the leader of Khmer Rouge, Paul Pot realised that without the support of masses in Cambodia, he would not be able to defeat the government. He wanted to generate same kind of support like Ho Chi Minh had from South Vietnamese people. So he thought of a brilliant plan to get the public on his side. Without making it apparent that he was the leader of Khmer Rouge, he invited Prince Sihanouk to visit his base camp. When Prince Sihanouk arrive at the camp, Pot bluffed Prince Sihanouk into believing that the leader of Khmer Rouge was on of his own former minister. This made it easy for Prince Sihanouk to relate to Khmer Rouge and listen and agree to their proposition.
If someone asked me to name top 10 most evil egomaniacal human beings in the history of mankind, than I assure Henry Kissinger will be in top 5. Henry Alfred Kissinger rose to his political prime when he was named National Security Advisor by US President Richard Nixon in 1969. But story of Henry Kissinger began many years earlier in Germany. Kissinger was born Heinz Alfred Kissinger in Fürth, Bavaria, Germany in 1923 during the Weimar Republic, to a family of German Jews. His father, Louis Kissinger (1887–1982), was a schoolteacher. His mother, Paula (Stern) Kissinger (1901–1998), was a homemaker. Kissinger has a younger brother, Walter Kissinger.
As hot wind of Nazism started blowing through Germany, the Kissinger family like thousands other Geman Jews immigrated to United States of America. Henry Kissinger was drafted into Army during Second World War and was assigned to Military Intellegence Unit during the European theatre. After the Second World War, Kissinger in enrolled in Harvard College. He received his Bachelors degree in political science at Harvard College in 1950. He further continued his education and received his MA and PhD degrees at Harvard University in 1952 and 1954, respectively. His doctoral dissertation was titled quite ironically "Peace, Legitimacy, and the Equilibrium".
After he completed his education at Harvard, he became deeply involved with the Rockefeller Foundation and from their his political journey took off. He became a member of Council on Foreign Relations(CFR) which was also founded by Rockefeller Family. After that he became a close advisor of Nelson Rockefeller who contested for Republican nomination for Presidency for year 1960, 1964 and 1968. After Richard Nixon became President of United States of America in 1969, he named Henry Kissinger as his national security advisor. During Nixon term, Kissinger played a major role in making policies regarding Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Chile, Indonesia and East Timor. In each of these countries some of the most heinous crimes against humanity were committed with complicity of Jenry Kissinger, which claimed lives of millions and millions of innocent civilians. And none of these genocidal acts could have been committed without, Henry Kissinger's help. He was not the butcher himself but he was for sure the one who tied the victim and then sharpened the knife for the butcher.
KISSINGER POLICIES ON CAMBODIA 1969-75
Now let's analyse how this butcher of Harvard, hacked through millions of innocent people throughout the world. First major policy making Kissinger was involved with was regarding the Vietnam War. Richard Nixon had just begun his presidency which he won with lavishing campaign promises of ending the Vietnam War. Nixon had promised that he will not escalate the Vietnam War in any way. And niether will he invade or attack Cambodia or Laos. But when he took over the office of President, he immediately intensified the bombing campaign in North Vietnam. Later at the advise of Henry Kissinger he even authorised the bombing of Cambodia and Laos. Bombing campaigns in Cambodia and Laos were carried out without any authorisation from congress. Reason for this was that Congress would not have allowed any such action, despite this Nixon and Kissinger ordered the bombing of Cambodia and Laos. Air strikes in Cambodia resulted in huge civilian casualties. This was totally an unauthorised and illegal action. So basically the Air Force officials who ordered the bombing of Cambodia along with Nixon and Kissinger were technically responsible for murder of thousands of innocent civilians.
Even after United States of America officially ended its involvement in Vietnam, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger continued their barbaric crimes in Cambodia. While publicly denying the bombing campaign in Cambodia, Nixon and Kissinger carried on the bombing of Cambodia. But they didn't limit their influence in Cambodia just to bombing raids. Henry Kissinger along with CIA was planning for a much more intensive involvement in Cambodia.
Cambodia at that time was itself going through terbulent time. Prince Sihanouk the monarch of Cambodia had been overthrown by a US backed Coup in Phnom Penh. This whole plan was the brainchild of Henry Kissinger. The Government that US placed in Phnom Penh was a puppet regime that was just doing the bidding of its American Lords. Moreover this new government was full of corrupt politicians, who as soon as came to power started exploiting the Cambodians to fill their own pockets. Any and all dissenting voices were silenced immediately. Cambodian people were living in extreme poverty and suffering from wide spread starvation and diseases. Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger saw what their puppet regime was doing in Cambodia, but they just conveniently looked away. Cambodian people started resenting the Government so much that they turned towards only other choice they had, Khmer Rouge. The attrocities committed by US backed Government helped the Khmer Rouge to gain more members and become a considerable force in Indo-China.
Facing ever increasing threat of Communist rebels to their authority, Cambodian government asked for help from Richard Holbrook who was at that US Ambassador to Cambodia. With approval from Nixon and especially Kissinger, Richard Holbrook personally directed the bombing campaign of Cambodia from US Embassy in Phnom Penh. This in itself was an illegal act according to diplomatic charter of UN. But nevertheless Holbrook directed US Airforce's bombing raids on the suspected Khmer supportive villages and hamlets. Hundred and thousands of innocent villagers died in these bombing campaigns. And tragically most who died in these bombing raids had no connection to Khmer Rouge at all. About 180,000 innocent civilians were killed in these murderous and illegal bombing campaigns on Cambodia.
Government of Phnom Penh was being challenged by communist gorillas of Khmer Rouge led by Paul Pot. Up untill then Khmer Rouge's presence was limited to only remote regions of Cambodia along its border with South Vietnam. But the destruction caused by US bombings in Cambodia gave a much needed boost to the Khmer Rouge's campaign. Dissented by the destruction of life, farms and villages many Cambodians started joining the Khmer Rouge. All of a sudden from being a small separatist group, Khmer Rouge became a considerable force of over 300,000 members in Cambodia. Leader of the Communist Khmer Rouge Paul Pot was strongly supported by China which was regularly providing them with monetary and weapon aid.
Paul Pott, leader of Khmer Rouge Communist Guerrillas who seized control of Cambodia in 1975 |
Khmer Rouge leadership convinced Prince Sihanouk that upon siezing control of a Phnom Penh, they will reinstate him on the throne. Prince Sihanouk fooled by Paul Pot agreed to the proposal and publicly started to show support fit Khmer Rouge. For the people of Cambodia, Prince Sihanouk was no less than earthbound divinity, hence when he started to support Khmer Rouge, Cambodians thinking that if Prince Sihanouk is praising Khmer Rouge than they must be working for rights of Cambodian people. But this was a big mistake, Pot had no desires to improve the lives of Cambodians and he certainly had no intentions of putting Prince Sihanouk back to power.
And to the shock of Prince Sihanouk, Paul Pot upon taking on the reigns of Cambodia, completely sidelined Prince Sihanouk. After siezing power, Khmer Rouge unleashed an unimaginable wave of brutality and extermination upon the innocent Cambodian civilians. While the millions of people were being slaughtered by Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, US Government was publicly praising the Khmer Rouge leader Paul Pot and was paving the path for a permanent seat in the UN for Paul Pot as one of the representative of Cambodian people. To the dismay and disgust of human rights activists and the people of the world, US Government even refused to term mass killings of Cambodian people as Genocide. The reason was that once any acts of mass killing is termed Genocide, then that enables or should I say authorises United Nations to take appropriate steps to stop the killings and bring the culprits to justice. United States of America along with its European cronies UK voted against the resolution terming Cambodian mass killings as genocide. And only reason behind this was that they didn't wanted to upset China who was at that time biggest supporter of Khmer Rouge. So basically US government and its leaders put the priority of appeasing the Chinese much more higher that the lives of Cambodian civilians.
Troubled by the genocidal acts of their former communist allies in Cambodia and frustrated by the lack of interest shown by international community and the UN towards the humanitarian catastrophe developing in Cambodia, Vietnamese government invaded Cambodia to wipe out the murderous regime of Khmer Rouge. Instead of helping them in combating the genocidal rebels of Khmer Rouge, US decided to rather invade Cambodia in order to fight against Vietnamese forces and to reinstate their corrupt puppet government that had fled from Cambodia when Khmer Rouge captured the capital Phnom Penh. Now Vietnamese forces were battling a two sided war, one against the Khmer Rouge and other against the invading forces of America. And to make matters even worse China who was a prominent supporter of Paul Pot decided to invade Cambodia also to help Paul Pot wage war against its former ally Vietnam.
It really shows the strength of morality and bravery of the Vietnamese soldiers that they not only repelled the attacks of America in South and of China in North, but also overpowered Khmer Rouge and forced them to flee to the Jungles of Cambodia. And for this bravery Henry Kissinger praised Vietnamese Government by calling them an Fascist Communist Regime that was eying to capture the entire peninsula of Indo-China. I think we can all clearly see who the fascists are.
By the time Vietnamese forces rescued the Cambodian people and ended the reign of terror of Khmer Rouge, one third of the population of Cambodia that is about 3 million people were lying dead in the mass graves all over Cambodia. The shear magnitude of the human cost in this tragedy was beyond belief. To give a perspective if you had to lay 3 million bodies on top of one another, the resulting pile would be 686 kms high.
Instead of helping the people of Cambodia to get through this troubling time, US and China passed a resolution in UN and placed an embargo on Cambodia, halting every kind of aid from entering Cambodia. In 20 years after the Vietnamese victory over Khmer Rouge, the embargo placed upon Cambodia by USA has resulted in more that one million additional deaths from starvation, malnutrition and lack of health care. During these years at an average 70 people were getting their limbs blown apart from the old land mines of Khmer Rouge every week. And in majority of the cases such injuries resulted in death because of unavailability of appropriate medical help. Primarily due to Henry Kissinget's policies on Cambodia, it now shares a horrific record with Lebanon with having most disabled people among its population.
The policies made by Henry Kissinger not only resulted in deaths of nearly 200,000 civilians in the bombing raids but they also helped to create the conditions that enabled Khmer Rupouge to seize power in Cambodia and who further caused the deaths of 3 million innocent Cambodians. Even after causing so much damage to a small nation that posed no threat to America, Henry Kissinger further reduced the chances of Cambodian people of surviving through these troubling times by placing an UN embargo on Cambodia which stopped the flow of all humanitarian aid into Cambodia and led to deaths of one million Cambodian civilians from starvation and from treatable diseases like Malaria and Cholera.
HENRY KISSINGER'S INVOLVEMENT IN WATERGATE SCANDAL 1974-75
When the secret of North Vietnam was going on during the Paris Peace Talks where Henry Kissinger and representatives from both North and South Vietnam were deliberating on the conditions of Peace Accord that could end the Vietnam War and facilitate the honourable withdrawl of US troops from Vietnam. But what South Vietnam contingent was totally unaware about was that Henry Kissinger was conducting secret meetings with North Vietnamese representative Le Duc Tho behind their backs. But somehow news about his secret meetings with Le Duc Tho leaked out and this created a feeling of mistrust between President Thieu of South Vietnam and Henry Kissinger. As a show of good faith Thieu asked Henry Kissinger to bomb military installments of North Vietnam and it didn't take a minute for Kissinger to turn against the nation with whom he had been secretively negotiating for past six months.
To show South Vietnam that US was still on their side and were not favouring North Vietnam in any way, Kissinger directed bomb raids on North Vietnam that resulted in deaths of 1,20,000 North Vietnamese civilians. So basically these 120,000 lives were ended to show that Henry Kissinger was still on the side of South Vietnam in the ongoing peace negotiations.
Later that year Nixon and Kissinger approved the secret bombing campaign on Cambodia under Operation Menu. This campaign was totally kept a secret from the American public and US Congress because if American public had been told about raids in Cambodian then public would have considered this a betrayal by Nixon of his campaign promises of no expansion of war into new countries. And US Congress would never have authorised the bombing of Cambodia so Nixon and Kissinger decided to carry on the bombing without the knowledge of US Congress. Flight logs and operation documentation was all falsified and in all documents the bombing of Cambodia was termed as operations within South Vietnam. But once again to the disbelief of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, the news leaked out once again and lead to huge anti-war protests in Universities all over America. In one such protest, National Guard opened fire on protesting students which led to deaths of four students. This further exacerbated an already volatile situation.
Because of all these problems, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger decided to tap the phones of many White House employees, members of Congress, National Security Council members, CIA staff, FBI officers, leading Journalists and even senior Armed forces personnel. This was done without any warrant or authorisation from any federal judge or US Congress. Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger were both hellbent on finding the source of the leak. Henry Kissinger employed a team of private electronic surveillance specialists code named "Plumbers" to carry our the operation.
After bugging houses and offices of several federal employees, Richard Nixon then decided to use this technique against democratic Party's National Headquarter in Watergate Complex, Washington DC. When FBI became aware of the burglary at the DNC Headquarter, they started investigation into the matter and they soon apprehended Howard Hunt the leader of the 4 man team. But when FBI started establishing Hunt's connections to White House, President Nixon thwarted their investigation. Eventually it all blew out and now the whole White House Staff was under investigation for its alleged involvement in Watergate Scandal. President's Counsel John Dean became federal witness for justice departments in the Watergate enquiry. Finally all the wrongdoings of Richard Nixon were revealed and he had to resign.
But John Dean's testimony opened another chapter of Richard Nixon's unlawful activities. Dean revealed that Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger had bugged phones of many federal and White House employees to find out the source of the leak about Cambodian bombing campaigns. Dean stated that Nixon and Kissinger soon concluded that only possible suspect was Former White House aide Daniel Ellsberg. To catch incriminating evidence about Ellsberg being the White House leak. Kissinger ordered to bug the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist. This bugging was totally illegal and unlawful. A federal warrant from a federal judge is required to listen in to anybody's private conversations and especially between a doctor and his patient.
According to John Dean, Henry Kissinger was the person who had suggested President Nixon to bug offices and homes of several federal employees. But quite strangely, while Richard Nixon was being accused of criminal acts there was not a single mention of Henry Kissinger. And as soon as Gerald Ford became president, he stopped all ongoing investigations of Justice Department against Henry Kissinger and pardoned Richard Nixon for Watergate crimes. Ford also appointed Henry Kissinger as his Secretary of State.
KISSINGER'S SUPPORT TO PAKISTAN IN WAR OF BANGLADESH'S LIBERATION 1971
In 1971 as the struggle for independence intensified in the country of East Pakistan(Bangladesh), the Pakistani army started a campaign of wide scale extermination of the Hindu citizens of East Pakistan. Also on target of Pakistani Army were the freedom fighters who were demanding independence from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and formation of an independent autonomous state of Bangladesh.
Watching mass acts of genocide being committed by Pakistani Army, Indian Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi decided to intervene by sending Indian Army to aid the Muktibahini(freedom fighters of Bangladesh) and supply them with arms and logistical support. Instead of beating their favourite drum of humanitarian crisis in East Pakistan and reprimanding Pakistani Government for attrocities being committed by it in East Pakistan, USA rather decided to threaten India for aiding the freedom fighters in East Pakistan. A country whose history is filled with unjustified interventions was not warning India to not to intervene in East Pakistan where massive crimes against humanity were being committed. Same way Vietnam was threatened not to attack Khamer Rouge in Cambodia by America. There can't be any bigger example of hypocrisy at a global stage than this.
The Soviet Union sympathised with the Bangladeshis, and supported the Indian Army and Mukti Bahini during the war, recognising that the independence of Bangladesh would weaken the position of its rivals—the United States and China. The USSR gave assurances to India that if a confrontation with the United States or China developed, it would take counter-measures. This assurance was enshrined in the Indo-Soviet Friendship Treaty signed in August 1971.
The United States supported Pakistan both politically and materially. President Richard Nixonand his Secretary of State Henry Kissinger feared Soviet expansion into South and Southeast Asia. Pakistan was a close ally of the People's Republic of China, to whom Nixon had been sucking up to lately. Nixon feared that an Indian invasion of West Pakistan would mean total Soviet domination of the region, and that it would seriously undermine the global position of the United States and the regional position of America's new ally China. Nixon encouraged countries like Jordan and Iran to send military supplies to Pakistan while also encouraging China to increase its arms supplies to Pakistan. The Nixon administration also ignored reports it received of the "genocidal" activities of the Pakistani Army in East Pakistan, most notably the Blood telegram. This prompted widespread criticism and condemnation both by the United States Congress and in the international press.
Then-US ambassador to the United Nations George.H.W.Bush later 41st President of the United States—introduced a resolution in the UN Security Council calling for a cease-fire and the withdrawal of armed forces by India and Pakistan. It was vetoed by the Soviet Union. The following days witnessed a great pressure on the Soviets from the Nixon-Kissinger duo to get India to withdraw, but to no avail.
It has been documented that President Nixon requested Iran and Jordan to send their F-86, F-104 and F-5 fighter jets to attack northern region of India.
When Pakistan's defeat in the eastern sector seemed certain, Nixon deployed Task force 74 led by the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise into the Bay of Bengal. The Enterprise and its escort ships arrived on station on 11 December 1971. According to Russia, United Kingdom deployed a carrier battle group led by the aircraft carrier HMS Eagle to the Bay.
On 6 and 13 December, the Soviet Navy dispatched two groups of cruisers and destroyers and a submarine armed with nuclear missiles from Vladivostok, they trailed US Task Force 74 into the Indian Ocean from 18 December 1971 until 7 January 1972. The Soviets also had a nuclear submarine to help ward off the threat posed by USS Enterprise task force in the Indian Ocean.
Bangladesh became an independent nation, the world's fourth most populous Muslim state. Mujibur Rahman was released from a West Pakistani prison, returning to Dhaka on 10 January 1972 and becoming the first President of Bangladesh and later its Prime Minister.
On the brink of defeat around 14 December, the Pakistani Army, and its local collaborators systematically killed a large number of Bengali doctors, teachers and intellectuals, part of a pogrom against the Hindu minorities who constituted the majority of urban educated intellectuals. Young men, especially students, who were seen as possible rebels were also targeted. The extent of casualties in East Pakistan is not known. R.J.Rummel cites estimates ranging from one to three million people killed. Bangladesh government figures state that Pakistani forces aided by collaborators killed three million people, raped 200,000 women and displaced millions of others. In 2010 Bangladesh government set up a tribunal to prosecute the people involved in alleged war crimes and those who collaborated with Pakistan.
Despite such wide scale attrocities committed by Pakistani forces in Bangladesh, US President Richard Nixon and his advisor Henry Kissinger publicly supported actions of Pakistan. I think this clearly shoes moral and ethical standing of both these individuals. Richard Nixon even tried to coerce Jordan and Iran into attacking India. Henry Kissinger tried his level best to escalate the conflict in the region. Even US Congress criticised the actions of Nixon and Kissinger during the conflict.
But above all in my view this incident reveals the decayed moral and ethical values of Henry Kissinger. A person who ignores the acts of genocide in which three million civilians are slaughtered, can only be termed as a sadistic and evil individual like he had already displayed during Khmer Rouge's genocidal regime.
HENRY KISSINGER AND EAST TIMORIAN GENOCIDE
In 1975, East Timor declared its independence from Portugese Colonial Rule. Upon independence two major parties emerged in East Timor, Timorese Democratic Union(UDT) and Revolutionary Front for Independent East Timor(FRETILIN). After a brief civil war between both parties in which thousands of innocent civilians were killed, FRETILIN emerged as the dominant group in East Timor and it declared its win in the East Timorian Civil War on 28th November 1975 in capital Dili. Problem was that these were Cold War years and US was interfering in every region where there was a chance of Communist regime coming to power. And FRETILIN was a communist party.
When FRETILIN was gaining foothold in East Timor, President Gerald Ford and his Secretary of State Henry Kissinger visited Indonesia. Before their visit to Indonesia there was no talk of any bad blood between Indonesia and East Timor. But once the cancerous bastard Henry Kissinger laid foot in Indonesia, everything changed instantly. Although it is commonly stated that it was President Suharto of Indonesia who expressed his fears about communist regime coming to power next to Indonesia, but this is totally a fabrication and a lie. Infact Henry Kissinger and President Gerald Ford had specifically decided to meet Suharto in Jakarta. In reality it was Henry Kissinger and Gerald Ford who advised Suharto about the security threat a communist regime so near to Indonesia will pose. Kissinger then advised Suharto to attack East Timor and annex it. To this Suharto replied that Indonesian Army didn't had capability of fighting such an extensive war at that time. To this Kissinger replied "You don't need to worry about that, We(US) will provide you all the weapons that you require".
Then Kissinger added "but you have bare in mind that the weapons we are giving you should only be used for defensive purposes". Suharto replied "How is that possible". And then Kissinger quite candidly said "I am sure you would just be defending the Indonesian people from a communist threat in East Timor". Basically what Kissinger told Suharto was that he must use the pretext of defending Indonesian people for attacking East Timor.
The very day Kissinger and Ford returned to US, Indonesia launched its attack on East Timor. Claiming that leaders of UDT had requested assistance from Indonesia to defend its people against the Communist regime of FRETILIN, Suharto launched a bloody campaign of conquest on East Timor. Claiming its assistance had been requested by East Timorese leaders, Indonesian military forces invaded on 7 December and by 1979 had all but destroyed armed resistance to the occupation. Following a controversial "Popular Assembly" which many said was not a genuine act of self-determination. Indonesia declared the territory of East Timor a province of Indonesia.
For twenty-four years the Indonesian government subjected the people of East Timor to extrajudicial executions, routine and systematic tortures, massacres and deliberate starvation. The 1991 Santa Cruz Massacre caused outrage around the world, and reports of other such killings were numerous. East Timorian Resistance to Indonesian rule remained strong throughout the years of occupation. In 1996 the Noble Peace Prize was awarded to two men from East Timor, Carlos Filipe Ximenes Belo and José Ramos Horta, for their ongoing efforts to peacefully end the occupation. A 1999 vote to determine East Timor's future resulted in an overwhelming majority in favor of independence, and in 2002 East Timor became an independent nation. The Commission for Reception, Truth and Reconciliation in East Timor estimated the number of deaths during the occupation to be between 200,000 and 400,000 including between 75,000 plain homicides or disappearances, out of a 1999 population of approximately 823,386. The truth commission held Indonesian forces responsible for about 70% of the violent killings.
Immediately after the invasion, the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council passed resolutions condemning Indonesia's actions and calling for immediate withdrawal. The governments of the United States, Australia, and United Kingdom were supported actions of Indonesia throughout the occupation. Australia and Indonesia were the only nations in the world to recognise East Timor as a province of Indonesia, and soon afterwards began negotiations to divide resources found in the Timor Gap. There were huge oil reserves in the region of Timor Gap region which were the real motivation for Australian affirmative actions toward Indonesian attrocities in East Timor,
During the initial stages of invasion of East Timor, a number of international journalists witnessed the cruelty and brutality by which Indonesian troops were massacring East Timorian populations. When Indonesian military high command learnt about this, they feared that if these journalists had publicised all they saw in East Timor then that will ruin the Indonesia's image in the world so they ordered the killing of these six journalists. These journalists were captured and then executed by the Indonesian soldiers.
But the real people who were responsible for this genocide were Henry Kissinger, Gerald Ford and King Suharto. It was Kissinger who had convinced King Suharto to attack East Timor. Even when King Suharto was uncertain about his army's capability to carry out such an operation, Kissinger persuaded him by saying that US will provide whatever weapons he required for this operation. This was Kissinger's way of getting back at Communist regimes of China and Soviet Union whose help to North Vietnam had resulted in shameful of America in Vietnam War.
Henry Kissinger basically facilitated the murders of nearly half million East Timorians to satisfy his over inflated ego and to get back at communist governments in China and Russia.
KISSINGER AND COUP IN CHILE
In the year 1969, Chilean people democratically chose Salvador Allende as their new President. At that time Chile had been going through tough times because of US Corporations in Chile were exploiting the natural resources, under the reign of previously corrupt US backed regimes. Allende was very proponent of nationalisation of Chilean resources because of that US Corporations in Chile were very vary of Allende and had tried their level best by to sabotage his election by pouring large sums of money to Allende's opponents. Buy despite that Allende won the election by a small margin because Chilean people were striving for change in the country and their best chance of change was Salvador Allende.
Salvador Allende favoured Marxist Political ideology, because of this he was at extremely good relations with Cuban President Fidel Castro and Soviet Union. This irritated the US President Richard Nixon and his national security advisor Henry Kissinger. Moreover Nixon was being pressurised by his Corporate Wall Street friends to remove Allende from Presidency. President of the Pepsi Co and ATT were the people who were demanding immediate action against Allende in Chile. ATT's subsidiary company ITTCorporation at that time owned 70% of Chitelco a Chilean telecommunications company and if Allende had nationalised the telecommunication industry then ATT would have lost millions of dollars. Second Corporation which felt threatened by Allende's nationalisation policies was Pepsi Co. Pepsi upto that time had been given huge subsidies and allowances by the previous US backed corrupt Chilean Governments. And if Allende had come to power, he would certainly have removed all these illegal allowances enjoyed by Pepsi Co. So along with ATT, Pepsi Co was the other US Corporation that was pressurising Nixon to act against Salvador Allende.
A memo declassified in 1990, quoted Henry Kissinger talking about Allende regime in Chile in 1970, "I don't know why we should sit and watch another Latin American country fall to communism, just because of the stupidity of its people". This statement clearly reveals Henry Kissinger's disregard and contempt for fee choice of South Americans to choose their own government and their democratic rights. Once Nixon gave Kissinger authorisation to overthrow Allende's government, then Kissinger took charge of the operation.
Like most other country's Chile had a transitional period of 60 days for the old regime to hand over the reigns to the new President after his presidency had been confirmed by the Chilean Congress. While Allende was waiting for confirmation from the Chilean Parliament, Kissinger with the help of CIA operatives in Chile contacted corrupt Chilean Military Generals to bribe them to orchestrate a coup against Allende before he was confirmed by the Parliament.
But Chilean military replied back to Kissinger that as long as General Rènè Schneider was in charge of the Military, no such actions can be taken by Chilean Armed Forces. General Rènè Schneider was a hardcore constitutionalist and was extremely loyal to the Chilean people and Government. To successfully overthrow the Government of Salvador Allende, General Schneider had to be dealt with. To achieve this objective Kissinger authorised a plan for kidnapping Gen.Schneider with help of local Chilean mercenaries directed by CIA operatives. Despite all the preparations that went into formulating the plan, the kidnapping attempt failed miserably. At this moment the US Embassy in Santiage got wind of the CIA operation against Allende and Schneider. US Ambassador to Chile Nathaniel Davis personally wrote to the President that Salvador Allende posed no threat to American interests in Chile. When he didn't receive any reply from White House, Davis threatened to resign if CIA continued with their operations against Allende and Schneider. Davis was thinking that Henry Kissinger and the CIA were conducting this operation without any authorisation or knowledge of President Nixon. After he threatened to resign, he was called to Washington DC by President Nixon. Only after meeting President Nixon, did Davis realise that it was all the doing of Kissinger and Nixon.
Nathaniel Davis tried to persuade Nixon that Salvador Allende posed no threat to United States but little did he know the threat that was worrying Nixon was economical and not geo-political. Davis later revealed that when he met President Nixon, Nixon was punching his palms and calling Allende an insect that had to be squished before it spreads to others Latin American countries". Nixon persuaded Nathaniel Davis that if any covert operation was launched against Allende regime, he will be notified of it beforehand. Nathaniel Davis returned to Santiago, knowing well enough what was going to happen.
General Schneider who had foiled two attempts of corrupt military officers organising a coup against Allende and also an abduction attempt against him was becoming an eyesore for the corrupt Generals in the Chilean Army. Moreover these Generals were being bribed by US to overthrow the Allende regime. So now they had double reasons for eliminating General Schneider. Henry Kissinger was personally contacting CIA operatives in Chile to receive updates on the operation.
On October 22, 1970, the coup-plotters again attempted to kidnap Schneider. His official car was ambushed at a street intersection in the capital city of Santiago. Schneider drew a gun to defend himself, and was shot point-blank several times. He was rushed to a military hospital, but the wounds proved fatal and he died three days later, on October 25.
The attempt to kidnap him was because Schneider was the army Commander-in-Chief and considered a constitutionalist, which in practical terms meant that he would not support a coup. This incident and his death provoked national outrage, and caused the citizens and the military to rally behind the just-elected Allende, who was ratified by the Chilean Congress on October 24. It also helped to ensure an orderly transfer of power to Allende.
Military courts in Chile found that Schneider's death was caused by two military groups, one led by Viaux and the other by General Camilio Valenzuela. Viaux and Valenzuela were eventually convicted of charges of conspiring to cause a coup, and Viaux also was convicted of kidnapping. The lawsuit asserted that the CIA had aided both groups, but the charges were never satisfactorily proven, with the expectation of tens of thousands of dollars and also machine guns given to them by the CIA.
On October 26, 1970, President Eduardo Frei Montalva named General Carlos Prats as Commander-in-Chief to replace Schneider. Ironically this happened at the same time that $35,000 were given by the CIA to the kidnappers as "humanitarian" assistance. When press questioned Kissinger about his involvement in General Schneider's murder, he replied that United States doesn't engage in assassinations of foreign officials. But later on Kissinger's every lie was revealed when the CIA operative who paid the alleged kidnappers $35,000 stated in the Chirch Committee that Kissinger was himself directing him about the operation and had every detail about the operation.
In the mean time Allende was sworn in as President of Chile. He immediately started nationalising several public services like water supply and health care. Salvador Allende started strengthening health care infrastructure in the remote regions of the Chile. Another one of Allende's major projects was of providing milk and foods to the schools so that children can be fed properly. Before Allende took office 70% of Chile's children were suffering from malnutrition and Chile had an infant mortality rate of 30%. Within a year of Allende's presidency malnutrition level of children in Chile had fallen below 15% and infant mortality rate below 10%. This was really a testament to his commitment to improving lives of people of Chile.
Salvador Allende's government introduced special projects in which landless peasants were given a small patch of their own land to farm on. Aim behind this policy was to end the stranglehold of poverty on Chile's population. Allende stopped giving all unjust allowances to US Corporation that previous governments had given them. First company to get affected by it was Pepsi Co whose director was already shouting in the ears of Richard Nixon to do something. Allende's finance minister introduced a budget in which he completely removed all taxes of people earning less than $ 30,000 per year and increased income taxes for multinational companies and other rich industrialists. This really pissed of members of Christian Democratic Party of Chile which was a party primarily comprising of individuals who were either involved in big industries themselves or were primarily supported by those industrialists. CDP launched a public campaign against Salvador Allende's government and started asking Army to intervene and remove Allende from office. But the main reason behind CDP's disagreement with Allende's policies was that CDP was primarily funded and controlled by US Corporate Houses like ATT, Pepsi Co, United Fruits Co etc.
In 1970, the U.S. manufacturing company ITT Corporation a subsidiary of AT&T owned of 70% of Chitelco, the Chilean Telephone Company, and funded El Mercirio, a Chilean right-wing newspaper. The CIA used ITT as a conduit to financially aid opponents of Allende's government. On 28 September 1973, ITT's headquarters in New York City, was bombed by the Weather Underground for the alleged involvement of the company in the overthrow of Allende.
CIA(US) backed dissidents slowly started convincing the Military Generals that Allende had to be removed from power by a coup. Henry Kissinger personally assured General Augusto Pinochet that US would recognise him as a legitimate leader of Chile. Kissinger just asked for one thing that after siezing power, Pinochet would adopt a pro US Corporate stance in policy making and open Chilean economy for free market trading. Offcourse Pinochet agreed.
On 11th September 1973, Chilean Army revolted against Allende and overthrew his government in a coup. Just prior to the capture of La Moneda(the Presidential Palace), with gunfire and explosions clearly audible in the background, Allende gave his farewell speech to Chileans on live radio, speaking of himself in the past tense, of his love for Chile and of his deep faith in its future. He stated that his commitment to Chile did not allow him to take an easy way out, and he would not be used as a propaganda tool by those he called "traitors" (he refused an offer of safe passage), clearly implying he intended to fight to the end.
"Workers of my country, I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this dark and bitter moment when treason seeks to prevail. Keep in mind that, much sooner than later, the great avenues will again be opened through which will pass free men to construct a better society. Long live Chile! Long live the people! Long live the workers!" |
President Salvador Allende's farewell speech, 11 September 1973. |
Shortly afterwards, the coup plotters announced that Allende had committed suicide. An official announcement declared that the weapon he had used was an automatic rifle. Prior to his death he had been photographed several times holding an AK-47, a gift from Fidel Castro. He was found dead with this gun. But this was not true. Allende shot himslelf in the head with a pistol just before the soldiers broke through the door.
After the death of Allende as promised US praised and recognised General Augusto Pinochet as legitimate ruler of Chile. As soon as Pinochet came to power, he immediately started an extermination campaign against Allende's friends, family and supporters. Then Pinochet changed the economic policies of Chile and turned it into a free market country which opened gates for US Corporations to flood into Chile and exploit all its natural resources at a dimes value. Anybody and everybody who voiced his opposition against Pinochet ended up in Pinochet's own version of concentration camps where dissidents were tortured and executed. Majority of the victims of Pinochet's barbarity were poor Chileans who were starving to death while US Corporations were getting rich by exploiting their land. Pinochet's murderous regime lasted for 17 years in which he murdered more than 500,000 innocent people.
In 1998, Spanish court issued arrest warrants against Augusto Pinochet in relation to murders of two Spanish citizens in year of 1972 in Santiago, Chile. Augusto Pinochet had fled to UK after he was removed from power in 1990. And he was arrested by Scotland Yard and extradited to Spain. After Pinochet's arrest, in another case of murders in Chile, a French judge ordered US Government to handover all its documents about US and CIA's involvement in Coup against Salvador Allende. This really shook that old bastard Henry Kissinger because all those documents would reveal that it was he himself who carried out both operations of assassination of Gen. Schneider. But then US President Bill Clinton pardoned Henry Kissinger of all wrong doing. And that old bastard didn't even spend a single night in prison for his involvement in deaths of Schneider, Allende and thousands of innocent Chileans.
HENRY KISSINGER'S SUPPORT FOR NWO, DEPOPULATION AND CARBON TAXES
Henry Kissinger has now been out of US government for more than 25 years but don't let this information fool you. Henry Kissinger along with George Soros and Zbignew Brzezinski are some of the key policy makers of America who still continue to affect US's foreign policy. It doesn't matter that all these individuals have not been in any senior governmental position because their close relations to globalists like the Rockefeller, Warburg and Rothschild Family ensures that they will always have the power to alter the US policies.
Henry Kissinger has been one of the biggest proponents of the concept of New World Order. He has publicly stated that possibility of a newer better world that is the New World Order is emerging in the world today and we should do everything we can to realise this objective. Henry Kissinger proposes the formation of a single universal Government which will conduct the affairs of humanity globally. A world where there will be no sovereignty of Nations. So basically just another fucking old Zionist pedophile and his ambitions of global dominance.
Henry Kissinger has even gone as far as calling for extermination of 2/3rd of the global population to make humanity more sustainable for earth. This means Henry Kissinger wants 4 million people completely exterminated from the face of this earth. I guess that old bastard is counting himself and all other NWO cronies in this estimate of 4 million.
Kissinger has even endorsed the totally illogical and unethical proposition of Al Gore to impose carbon tax on people in which they will be charged with taxes for their carbon footprint. Its one of the most mischievous and corrupt concepts ever conceived by man. And there's no surprise that whenever something dark and evil will threaten humanity in future, Henry Kissinger will definitely be around there somewhere.
Nowadays Henry Kissinger is a wealthy businessman, his company Kissinger Associates Pvt Ltd is a famous business consultancy where Henry Kissinger uses his past contacts from his days in United States Government to advice and help his business clients. In other words he is a problem solver. A sadistic, evil and immoral thug turned businessman.
But despite of all his connections to powerful people and all the wealth he has accumulated, somewhere deep within him he knows that what happened to Chilean Dictator Augusto Pinochet can happen to him too because he knows what he has done. This fear of being tried for his crimes against humanity will forever plague his mind and he would have to live his remaining life in this fear.
In 1973, Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho of Northern Vietnam were awarded joint Noble Peace Prize Henry Kissinger immediately started appearing on television thanking The Laureate Society for the honour and praised Le Duc Tho for establishing peace in Vietnam. When the day of Award Ceremony arrived Henry Kissinger was humiliated to know that Le Duc Tho had refused to accept the awards saying that there is no peace in Vietnam, his country is still being bombed and Vietnam war is still very much going on. It was a big humiliation of Henry Kissinger who had become a self declared messenger of peace in recent times. Its really quite a human tragedy that the person who committed such heinous crimes against humanity was awarded Noble Peace Prize. I guess that explains how did Obama pass the criteria of being nominated and eventually awarded with the noble peace price. It's too bad that Stalin, Mussolini and Nero are already dead otherwise they too could have definitely won the Noble Peace Prize.
I think its a matter of immense shame and humiliation for Human Rights Organisations and United Nations that that this frog faced four eyed ogre looking cocksucking pedophile is still allowed to freely roam around and that too with a feeling of contempt for commoners. If it was upto me he would have gotten two bullets in his head by now, once through both of his evil eyes. But his time will also come one day. Remember I told you in the beginning that everything in the universe acts in total sync with its opposite force. This is where Karma comes from, what you give others will surely one day return to you. If you give people happiness than you will most probably awarded back with happines. But if you give people pain and suffering, the one thing Mr.Kissinger is an expert of then be prepared for inevitable, cause you never know when your account would be settled.
Its people like Henry Kissinger, Zbignew Brzezinski, David Rockefeller, Nathan Rothschild, William 'Bill' Gates, Warren Buffet, Rupert Murdock, Ted Turner and George Soros, who are biggest threat to humanity. And it is these people who should be wiped off this planet, if humanity is to have any future.
