Henry Alfred Kissinger, the legendary American diplomat, passed away at the age of 100. Kissinger’s immense contribution to history will be remembered not only as America’s answer to Klemens von Metternich, but as a conservative internationalist who favored engagement over neutrality and worked to ensure the stability of American interests.
In my personal opinion, Kissinger was a bit of a globalist who supported the concept of a new world order but that’s not to take away from his few achievements just an acknowledgment of his support to corporate elites.
His greatest achievement was devising a foreign policy that managed to separate communist China from the Soviet Union in the early 1970s. He orchestrated a thaw in the strained relationship between the two superpowers, culminating in President Richard M. Nixon’s celebrated 1972 trip to China.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared that the policy of engagement had failed, but such a strategy limited the growth of Soviet influence and proved instrumental in the eventual dissolution of the Soviet Union two decades later.
Kissinger’s career was not without blemishes however. His decisions during the Vietnam War to expand to Cambodia earned him harsh criticism from the left, as did his backing of right-wing dictatorships and militias worldwide. Christopher Hitchens, famously opposed to the Iraq War, even imagined bringing Kissinger before an international court for war crimes.
Kissinger, native of Fürth, Germany, arrived to America in 1938 as a Jewish refugee. After the war he studied at Harvard, writing an extraordinary 400-page thesis on history and politics. His experience eventually leading him into public service as an international affairs advisor for the U.S political establishment. In 1968, President Nixon appointed him as National Security Advisor, and two years later as Secretary of State, a title he held until his departure from the public sector.
In his capacity as Secretary of State, Kissinger had to grapple with some of the most acute international events of the 1970s, such as the Yom Kippur War and the Arab-Israeli conflict. He sought to mediate between the warring sides, especially Israel, and to establish a lasting peace in the Middle East. It was during one of his many negotiations with Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir that Kissinger purportedly said, “Golda, you must remember that first I am an American, second I am Secretary of State and third I am a Jew.” To which Meir supposedly replied, “Henry, you forget that in Israel we read from right to left.”
Kissinger’s work in the Yom Kippur War and his great contribution to a resolution of the Vietnam War earned him the 1973 Nobel Peace prize. Afterward, President Gerald Ford kept Kissinger in the role of Secretary of State, a testament to the high regard in which he was held.

For the next forty-five years Kissinger consulted for American and international public figures and wrote about foreign policy, being a major figure of the foreign policy establishment. Although his worldview was considered conservative and leaned toward realpolitik, Kissinger praised America’s idealism and wanted the country to continue to strive for harmony in the global stage.
KHe represented the ascendancy of the corporate elite within the Republican party, and a Wall Street-Washington axis often out of line with the people’s agenda.
Just two years before his death, Kissinger addressed the Ukrainian war with a measured opinion that earned him the ire of George Soros, and proposed a settlement between powers taking into consideration Russia’s role.
Kissenger was a NWO operative. He among others was one of the INSTALLERS of a One World Government. Kissinger is responsible for Corporations like Black Rock who run hundreds of of companies, who are pushing WOKE, who are turning Americans into Germans not Jews and we all remember that right? remember when Obama earned the Nobel Peace Prize? What a Joke and the same is true of Kissinger. Many praise him, I do not. Many thought, think he was good for this country. I do no. I am 75 and I saw him then as wicked, I felt that he was untrustworthy worthy and perhaps some can manipulate his works to seem like a benefit but GLOBAL is Not Good for America nor is it good for its citizens. China was an invisible cancer and we – he helped launch it into what it has become. Wow globalization is great isnt it when we pay billions to countries who hate our guts, we have open borders, and we interfere in their global elections and they interfere in ours. We needed to knuckle down and fortify ourselves and our children after the war, instead he and others used the war to separate us from our FUTURE: Our children and NO – He is no hero and no I will not give him praise – I will tell you all to loopback and really understand his involvement in the destruction of our country

He among others was one of the INSTALLERS of a Global One World Government. Kissinger is responsible for Corporations like “Black Rock” 1 of 10 who run hundreds of companies, who are pushing WOKE, LGBTQ thinking, who are turning Americans into Germans not Jews – and we all remember that clash right?
Remember when Obama earned the Nobel Peace Prize? What a Joke and the same is true of Kissinger. Many praise him, I do not. Many thought, think he was good for this country. I do not. Im 75 and I saw him then as wicked, I felt that he was untrustworthy and perhaps some of the readers can manipulate his works to seem like a benefit for America, but GLOBAL is/was Not Good for America nor is it good for its citizens.
China was an invisible cancer and we – he helped launch it into what it has become. Think about it?
Wow globalization is great isnt it: when we pay billions to countries who hate our guts, we have open borders, and we interfere in their global elections and they interfere in ours. The truth: We needed to knuckle down, fortify ourselves and our children after the war. Instead our eyes were placed on SELF. He manipulated the war and others, & used the war to separate us from our FUTURE: Our children.
NO in my opinion – He is no hero and no I will not give him praise – I will tell you all to look back and really understand his involvement in the destruction of our country
He was fine during Nixon era but since became NWO figure so No or maybe earlier joining the NWO League
His input aided US in forever wars since Vietnam+
