Truly evil wealthy people live so long because they have access to medical care that we don’t even know exists but I also postulate that deep down they know what awaits them after death, so they do everything they can to stay alive ASAP.

Truth. Eternity is the really long time

Around 20 years ago, my husband penned a dirge that simply comprises “Dick Cheney … is still alive” sung over and over again in a morose tone. He was joking the other day that he never did anything with it because he thought it wouldn’t be true for very long. Little did we know …

“Henry Kissinger … is still alive …”

The fact that people like this still walk among us makes me wonder about the universe. Is it all a perverse joke?🤔

When I get in a really dark place I try to remember my favorite author's words:

“In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.” Anne Frank

Something about the good dying young comes to mind. Seriously, Kissinger was the first obese 90 year old in the history of the world. Now he's the first obese 100 year old. Maybe he's already benefited from AI technology. Thanks!

That was the closing punch-line in my piece.

Or maybe from drinking the blood of little children. Or maybe from just not having a conscience to constantly be reminding him of all his misdeeds.

One more you forgot to add: 1965 Indonesia. In a mater of weeks, some half million lives were extinguished (not lost, as you pointed out) in the process of installing Gen Suharto, replacing the neutralist Prince Sihanouk.

Thanks, I probably missed a lot but Indonesia is a big one

A touching tribute. Let's not underrate Pinochet's accomplishments. Besides Chilean victims, he was a guiding force behind Operation Condor, which resulted in deaths of non-Chileans in a South American kind of "murder exchange program." Figure the U.S. had to at least know and turn the other cheek on that one, if it wasn't directly involved.

Thank you for this. I've been telling people most of this for decades.

That rat bastard dual Israeli-American slime has survived because Evil doesn't die easily; certainly not willingly. Herr Kissinger negotiated or orchestrated more killings and deaths than we can imagine. And, btw, not only did he coordinate the 'secret' bombing of Cambodia- he made sure that Laos (a nation with which we were NOT at war) was peppered with bombs murdering untold tens of thousands and leaving the land pregnant with UXOs (unexploded bombs) that continue to kill people and livestock 60+ years later). Cambodia and VN are also still dealing with unexploded ordnance.

He knew Dickhead Nixon was a narcissistic loon and yet used his position as Secy of State to egg on the wacked, paranoid president to do the bidding of those he worked for. Kissinger remains on the US taxpayer payroll to this day and is often quoted in cases of international concern. He has said that the US involvement in Ukraine is ill-conceived. The godfather of death and destruction.

As to Agent Orange- made of the deadliest molecule created by man: dioxin. Dioxin is not water soluble so when they sprayed 20 million gallons over most of South Vietnam (particularly the rich, rice producing Mekong Delta) the stuff made its way to the bottoms of rivers, streams and rice paddies sitting there TO THIS DAY waiting for a duck, a fish or the foot of a farmer or fisherman to come into contact and reinvigorate it. There are, TO THIS DAY, large swaths of the Mekong that are off-limits to any kind of agriculture. The stuff was also used to destroy and poison any and all farms and gardens- to starve out the Vietnamese.

I could go on. But Southeast Asia was not the only area of the world that has seen the devastation brought about by Kissinger's influence. I will celebrate his death as I did Robert McNamara, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Nixon and all those who tore this country and the ones they attacked to shreds.

And still- with all that fire power and money- the Vietnamese kicked their asses. Long live the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

I knew this one was going to push a button with you!

Love live the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

Maybe we look at it the wrong way. Maybe long life is the punishment. I am "one of those" who believes there is life or consciousness or something beyond this life. Maybe this world we occupy is just a prelude, a test maybe of character. And those with an actual soul permitted to move on sooner than those with longer lives. People who've had NDE's describe going through a tunnel toward a light., which certainly is descriptive of the birth experience. It's also said that when you die, you must go through a recall of every experience in which you harmed another, experiencing it as the victim. If that is the case, Kissinger will be occupied for a very long time. If he believes this, he must be terrified of death. Unfortunately, how can you even celebrate the death of evil people when we know there's always someone waiting in the wings to replace that person. This is just not one of the better chapters of our history. But what was a better chapter? Was it better before Europe took over the planet?

I'm with you... Kissinger is self-tortured, he made his own bed and now he must lie in it.

I do not envy his specific longevity because there is no way I would trade places with him.

I have a feeling he is very proud of his wretched self

Yes, the abominable Kissinger remains a proud active member of the Amerikan Sociopolitical Night of the Living Dead zombie gerontocracy.

Compiling a comprehensive Rogues' Gallery would take so long that it would reduce me to a chronological and psychological Methuselah myself. But Henry is right up there-- or down there-- with The Ghost of Joe Biden (Barely) Present, the almost literally ghastly Dianne Feinstein, the Gorgon Pelosi, etc.

Perhaps, like junior member Dick Cheney, they've all been fitted with state-of-the-art artificial hearts and no longer have a pulse. Of course, as overclass mandarins the Establishment is obliged to regard their collective senescent mumblings as divinely inspired, perspicacious wisdom.

I'm no judge of the price and value of souls, but I admit I'm baffled by the Faustian bargain that sustains these sociopathic, narcissistic wraiths-- aka, to Tolkien aficionados, Nazgûl. At best, they can only be worth a dime a dozen! 👿 🤨

I just saw a TV ad for Save The Children. I don't know which children's charity is the best, but I have a dream that the least of them combined is still better than Military Industrial Complex.

I was going to post adenochrome on one of the comments, but I was on my phone and it was complicated. LOL.

Strictly speaking the good don't always die young; many good people last a long time. But the most effective good people are killed quickly by the monsters. That's part of the secret for demonic longevity. No conscience + no living competitors = low stress.

Yes. I am not young but I hope I am mostly good. It’s just an old adage

I was unable to locate this while 'commenting' on Heinz Kissinger's birthday (although I doubt the bastard was even a live birth.) This is possibly the most breathtaking illustration of what US bombings look like in re Southeast Asia but specifically Laos (a country, as I said in my previous comment) with which we were NOT at war. Imagine the destruction!
