Trump and Kissinger Discuss Realpolitik

In November, US voters get
to choose between two deplorable business as usual presidential aspirants - a
billionaire demagogue v. a war criminal/Wall Street tool, both hugely
anti-populist.
There’s no hope for
responsible change under Trump or
Clinton after 16 devastating
Bush/Obama years - the most ruthless administrations in US history, responsible
for endless wars of aggression and creeping homeland tyranny, heading toward
becoming full-blown.
On Wednesday, Trump met
privately with Henry Kissinger in New York, a longtime unindicted war criminal
as national security advisor, then secretary of state during the Nixon/Ford
years.
The scope of his high crimes
were breathtaking, including:
- around four million slaughtered during
America’s Southeast Asian wars;
- undermining Paris peace talks on the eve of the
1968 election to help Richard Nixon defeat Hubert Humphrey.
- the bloody overthrow of Chile’s democratic
government and support for Latin American despots;
- aiding Suharto’s takeover of West Papua and
invasion of East Timor, slaughtering hundreds of thousands;
- backing Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge early reign of
terror rise to power;
- support for Pakistan’s overthrow of
Bangladesh’s democratically elected government, causing half a million
deaths; and
At age 92, Kissinger remains
influential, advising Democrats and Republicans alike on geopolitical issues.
Meeting with him instead of peace champions suggests a Trump administration
would continue America’s deplorable imperial agenda, responsible for millions
of post-9/11 deaths alone.
Last week, he met with House
Speaker Paul Ryan, other GOP lawmakers and former Republican secretary of state
James Baker. In Senate testimony last week, Baker contradicted his view of NATO
as “obsolete,” turning truth on its head, saying:
“We’ve got a lot of problems
today but you’d have a hell of a lot more if that was the case. NATO has been
the foundation and the base for peace and stability in Europe and on the
Eurasian Continent.”
US-dominated NATO is a
killing machine responsible for endless wars, related violence, support for
terrorism and chaos.
Trump earlier chose
Republican hardliner, scandal-ridden, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to
head his transition team.
He named extremist former
New York mayor Rudy Giuliani his choice to head Homeland Security (America’s
Gestapo) in his administration if elected.
In early May, he chose
former Goldman Sachs partner, current Dune Capital Management CEO Steven
Mnuchin as his presidential campaign finance chairman.
Insiders he’s chosen so far
show his administration if elected president will replicate preceding ones.
America’s rage for world
dominance is the greatest threat to world peace. Expect endless wars of
aggression to continue no matter who succeeds Obama. Humanity’s fate hangs in
the balance.
