Rolling Stone first out of the gate with the true elbow-drop of a headline this news deserves, and a beefy polemic to back it up.

This article, along with every other news site's, has been sitting there primed and ready to release for years and years, needing nothing but a minor edit to add the relevant details of his passing and the date. Someone at Rolling Stone is delighted today to have finally hit "Publish" .

And too right they should. It's a great day.

This is the best summary I could come up with: Henry Kissinger, war criminal and complete piece of shit, has finally died. The world is a better place now.

This is well known, but I think it suits this thread well

Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. [...] Witness what Henry did in Cambodia- the fruits of his genius for statesmanship- and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević. While Henry continues to nibble nori rolls and remake at A-list parties, Cambodia, the neutral nation he secretly and illegally bombed, invaded, under-mined, and then threw to the dogs, is still trying to raise itself up on its one remaining leg.

Anthony Bourdain

Saddest part is that he gets to die living a long, comfortable life after making his mark upon the world, meaning he gets to die happy.

Anthony Bourdain, a well spoken man who reached his boiling point with existence a fair bit to soon, always had a lot to say about Kissinger. An excerpt from a book he wrote "about" culinary tourism from, if anyone wasn't aware...

The title is strong, but article itself is brutal

My great Aunt had a terrific joke about Henry:

Nixon is walking outside the Whitehouse near an area of freshly fallen snow.

He sees NIXON SUCKS in yellow snow and asks the Secret Service (and the FBI) to investigate who did it.

A couple days go by and someone from the FBI Forensics Lab comes into the Oval Office to report.

"Well?" Nixon asked.

"You're not gonna like this."

"Just tell me."

"It's Henry's."

"I knew it!"

"Ah. That's not all Mr. President."

"What else?"

"It's Pat's handwriting."

Ding dong the witch is dead!

About fucking time, holy shit.

Best example of The good die young I have ever seen.

It's a shame he never faced justice for his crimes.

And not a single tear was shed.

After reading the article, I'm left with the impression that, if he wasn't jew, he'd be right at home with the german nazi govt. Not necessarily because of racial bias, but because of his anticommunism and also for being able to direct the military against unsuspecting targets for the sole purpose of solidifying power.

So are we all just going to wait for the ruling class to die off like he did or are we going to stand for justice and do something about the other evil motherfuckers in the elite still living?

I heard Henry Kissinger ran into a tree and all his money fell out of his pockets and the teens called him Sonic the Bitchhog while he tried to get at least one coin so he could go on.

Can someone please explain what he did to be labeled a war criminal?

Genuine question, because I only know this guy as an asshole who suggested Ukraine should give up it’s occupied territories.

Won't miss him.

Without a doubt, the best headline about the death of this worm. Congratulations to the editor.

Nixon, Reagan, Bush 1, Thatcher, Mao, Thọ, and many more scumbags welcome this monster in hell. Disgusting.
