If history whispers in the ears of those who dare to listen, a chilling echo arises from a past filled with turmoil, war, and deception. For a century, an ominous figure lurks in the shadows of American foreign policy – Henry Kissinger, a man whose name rings synonymous with deceit and destruction.
An investigative report by The Intercept has brought to light startling allegations, accusing this former US diplomat of being responsible for 3 million civilian deaths, a staggering body count cast aside as mere collateral damage in a relentless quest for power and control.
A Wolf in Diplomat’s Clothing
History recounts Kissinger as a diplomatic genius, the grey eminence who advised presidents and led the United States through countless international crises.
However, there is an underbelly, a gruesome trail of bloodshed, crying out for justice from beyond the grave. This is no mere accusation; this is an exposé that yanks back the curtain on one of the most influential men of the 20th century.
Kissinger is no benefactor of humanity. Instead, he exists as the puppet master, pulling the strings, ensuring the masses remain blind to the machinations of power. His adage, “If you control the food, you control a nation. If you control the energy, you control a region. If you control the money, you control the world,” reads less like wisdom and more like a manifesto for global domination.
According to The Intercept’s report, the enormity of the devastation Kissinger has caused far surpasses the initial estimates. The colossal figure of 3 million deaths, while horrific, likely falls short of the actual total. The echelons of power, it seems, care little for the lives trampled beneath their gilded boots.
An overview of his career reveals a series of damning indictments. From the clandestine, illegal expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia in the 1970s to the genocides he is accused of sponsoring in East Timor and Bangladesh, his fingerprints are smeared across a litany of atrocities.
From fanning the flames of civil wars in Southern Africa to greenlighting Operation Condor’s death squads in Latin America, his influence and interference have triggered unending cycles of violence and oppression.
The Numbers Game: A Tale of Denial
Despite his blood-soaked resume, Kissinger has brazenly admitted to causing only 50,000 Cambodian deaths, swiftly absolving himself of guilt by pinning the blame on the Vietnamese.
However, investigative journalist and contributing writer for The Intercept, Nick Turse, paints a vastly different picture.
“Kissinger was picking where bombs would be dropped in Cambodia,” Turse asserts, shining a light on the blatant lies and forgeries deployed to manipulate public perception and conceal the truth.
In an era of technological advancement and widespread access to information, the skeletons in the closet of the past are being unearthed, revealing the sheer magnitude of civilian lives snuffed out at the behest of those in power.
The specter of Kissinger’s actions, borne by the millions of lives lost, serves as a chilling testament to the catastrophic impact of unchecked ambition and ruthless desire for control.
It’s time we stop glorifying the perpetrators of these heinous acts and start asking: who really pulls the strings in this world?
