    Yeah. They touch on that here. The elite loved him. I posted the link and not the embedded graphics as it has the monsters mug right at the beginning. Hitchens is one of my all time favourites. Brilliant mind. Gone far too soon. RIP. https://youtu.be/w0XV2Wi0J34?si=5nO3PFO85IDY-sNs
  4. Germans! Not very flattering I'm afraid.

    But Iraq, and the broader War on Terror that Kissinger wanted expanded lest it “pete[r] out into an intelligence operation while the rest of the region gradually slides back to the pre-9/11 pattern,” presaged the world Kissinger made coming apart at the foundations. The man who repositioned U.S. foreign policy as a wedge between Russia and China lived long enough to see the February 4 Declaration uniting Moscow and Beijing. The reactionary forces he encouraged at home and abroad are showing the world that the rules-based international order is about capitalism, not democracy. Whatever bitterness Kissinger, in his final days, experienced over the erosion of his enterprise is little comfort to his millions of victims. America denied them the closure Kathleen Treanor experienced when America, declaring justice, ended Timothy McVeigh.

    Kissinger and Nixon turned that into Watergate — as Grandin pointed out earlier in this story, Watergate began with a demand for vengeance on Daniel Ellsberg, the anti-Kissinger, for leaking the Pentagon Papers. Watergate was a grim demonstration, for neither the first nor the last time, that the crimes America commits abroad have a dialectical relationship with the crimes that America commits at home. Infamy has as many fathers as victory. .......That, ultimately, is why Kissinger died a celebrity, .......When the Roger Morrises and Anthony Lakes and Hillary Clintons see Henry Kissinger, they see, despite what they will rotely and euphemistically acknowledge as his flaws, themselves as they wish to be.

    Absolutely great piece about the worst mass murderer in history by Rolling Stone. Read it before its get locked. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/henry-kissinger-war-criminal-dead-1234804748/ Henry Kissinger, War Criminal Beloved by America’s Ruling Class, Finally Dies The infamy of Nixon's foreign-policy architect sits, eternally, beside that of history's worst mass murderers. A deeper shame attaches to the country that celebrates him IN SOUTHEAST ASIA, KISSINGER DESTROYED. But in Chile, he helped build a template for the world in which we currently live. On September 4, 1970, Chileans elected the democratic socialist Salvador Allende president. Allende’s program was more than redistributionist. It demanded reparation from the U.S. for exploiting it. Chile is rich in copper, and by the mid-1960s, 80 percent of its copper production was controlled by American corporations, particularly the firms Anaconda Copper and Kennecott. When Allende nationalized mining assets held by the two companies, Allende informed them he would deduct estimated “excess profit” from a compensatory package he was willing to pay the firms. It was this sort of unacceptable policy that prompted Kissinger to remark, during an intelligence meeting about two months before Allende’s election, “I don’t see why we need to stand idly by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people.” Kissinger and the CIA had decided to overthrow Allende just days after Allende’s election. Upon learning what was in motion, the U.S. ambassador in Santiago, Edward Korry, who was second to none in opposing Allende, cabled Kissinger that “to actively encourage a coup could lead us to a Bay of Pigs failure.” An “apoplectic Kissinger” told Korry to stay out of the way, according to Tim Weiner’s Legacy of Ashes: The History of The CIA. When the CIA failed at what Korry termed a Rube Goldberg gambit to get the Chilean Congress to stop Allende from taking office — that’s right, the CIA tried a January 6 in Chile — Haig urged his boss to purge “the key left-wing dominated slots” in the agency. paid off on September 11, 1973, when a military junta took power, prompting Allende’s suicide. He would be among the first of 3,200 Chileans to die violently under the 17-year regime of Augusto Pinochet and his Caravana de la Muerte, to say nothing of the tens of thousands tortured and imprisoned. “In the Eisenhower period, we would be heroes,” Kissinger told Nixon in a telephone conversation days after the coup. The same week he denied at his Senate confirmation hearings that the U.S. played any role in it.

  11. Here you go, right on topic, just for you, Sith.
  12. Yeah, I saw that a few days ago actually. I'm sure he's innocent
  13. I disagree. The society has been stacked against women for centuries and honestly I don't see that changing anytime soon given the way the far right is making making progress all over the world. Look at that shithead the just Argies elected. He's the latin version of Trump. He's doing fine in Saudi Arabia, don't worry about him. I don't believe for a second he's without guilt.
  14. What a shocker. Steven Tyler of Aerosmith is being accused on a weekly basis now about things he did in the past. Even Bob was accused last year for something he did some 50 years ago. A judge threw that case out.

    The new world order in Laos. And we're worrying about Russia. Laos. It may not be as popular as Thailand, but it's definitely on the backpacker circuit. Take a trip to Luang Prabang or Vientiane, or almost anywhere in the country, and you'll see plenty of European tourists wandering the streets. Except for one place, a place that even the Lao people don't want to visit. In the far northwest of the country, right in the heart of the Golden Triangle and on the border with Thailand, Myanmar and China lies the "Special Economic Zone" of Laos. If you spend just a few minutes there, you'll quickly realize that it's an area that Laos does not control. Who does? You'll have to ask the Chinese mafia that runs it. Locals call the entrance to it the gates to hell. We were soon to find out why.
  18. Those days are over. We can't afford treating in-house patients anymore. The free market drained our tax financed welfare and put a stop to all benefits unless you have a private insurance.
  19. I love Thailand and its ladymen!
  20. Another person's opinion. https://www.jambase.com/article/bob-dylan-capitol-theatre-november-2023-review Bob Dylan Delivers Another Stellar Show In Late-Career Resurgence At Capitol Theatre I saw Bob Dylan at The Capitol Theatre on Wednesday, November 8, and it was an amazing experience, another terrific performance in a late-career resurgence. He’s 82 years old and performing like a madman on “The Never Ending Tour,” which Wikipedia says commenced on June 7, 1988 and has included about 100 shows a year ever since. Thousands of performances for decades, so maybe it’s not surprising that he has five in metro New York over the current two weeks. ...of all those artists Bob was by far the biggest influence and most important artist to me — but not just to me. I think Bob Dylan is the most important, influential artist of the modern rock and pop era, even above Sir Paul and the Beatles, who were singing “Love Me Do” before they started listening to Dylan. He altered the conception of what a rock song could be, he merged pop, rock, folk, blues and country to the point where the distinctions didn’t matter.
  21. Unbelievable. It was fake news
  22. OMG. This is where old Baby Boom was? Where that shortcut from Soi Buakhao to Soi pothole is? Sorry for being late to the party but the excitement about another bar is limited. Rom, you must be over the moon. First Lily , now Cindy opening a bar in Pattaya. I don't know what you're doing fucking grannies in Philippines. You seen this, Rom?
