So sad that Christopher Hitchens is no longer with us. IMO he was one of the great thinkers of our time. Our world would be a better place if we had some more of his kind, RIP, Hitch. I agree with him wholeheartedly that Kissinger should have been tried for the mass murders he was responsible for in Chile, Bangladesh and elsewhere. Kissinger is definitely one of the most evil men of the 20th century, and the creep is still polluting our planet. It reflects unfavourably on the USA that it tolerates this monster to walk free on its soil, while the USA preaches human rights, the rule of law, etc. to the rest of the world.

[@subscriber77]

***** Yes, something went wrong with Hitche's mind towards the end. Maybe it was the chemo therapy. I still say I'll miss him and his incisive analyses of the issues he chose to tackle.

[@dannya1854]

+Russ Tul No, he didn't lose his mind, liberals just have the illusion that the Iraq War is a repeat of the Vietnam War. In Iraq, the biggest mistake we made was helping the Iraqi government in the first place which is what George HW and Clinton did. After the Baath party was removed and Saddam Hussein given a public trial, the U.S. government allowed free elections in Iraq for the first time in decades and even the Iraqi Communist Party was allowed to participate. Of course I agree that the administration should be held accountable for lying about there being WMD's in Iraq or that Al Qaeda was hiding in Iraq, but they would be correct to say that Saddam at least tried to get a WMD and that there were some terrorist organizations being protected by Saddam in previous years. Saddam also gassed his own people and the Kurds.

Kissinger: American Monster

[@ernestomontoya1447]

Thanks to KZbin's Christopher Hitchens discussing the crimes of Henry Kissinger in the video, it confirms my discontent with American policies over the years. I find it disheartening, considering it one of the most disconcerting countries. I've declined opportunities to visit the USA or even take a transit flight through there. Even with family members residing there, I've chosen not to go. What's most significant about Mr. Hitchens' audio presentation is that it reinforces my decision to disconnect entirely from the media. I'm weary of continually hearing about the detrimental impact America has had on humanity without any repercussions or accountability. Moreover, the disregard for addressing the unanswered questions surrounding the events of 9/11 is deeply unsettling. The collapse of Tower 7 at 5:35 pm, without being hit by a plane, and its free fall raises serious concerns. It's baffling how such critical aspects have been ignored, raising questions about the extent of our blindness or naivety as a society.

Hitchens is missed.... Love his honesty.

[@Yogutz-ks2yq]

Those two are probably together 💕❤️💖

[@user-ym7cc2xd5f]

The old criminal lived to 100, this is very timely and reminds us what a terrible and flawed human being HK was. Definitely one for hell if you believe in that sort of thing. Hitch's brother Peter the highly intelligent sounding bigot goes on and on, making up stats, as he goes along

10:40 Hitchens begins to describe the military coup in Chile on Sept. 11, 1973...which was Kissinger's brainchild. 19:19 The massacre in Bangladesh in 1971. 30:20 End of part 1

[@FrankCoffman]

Kissinger had nothing to do with the coup in Chile in 1973. This article refutes Hitchens' false claims: "Kissinger & Chile: The Myth That Will Not Die" by Mark Falcoff, Nov. 2003

[@wkworld6741]

​​​​​​​@@FrankCoffman there were classified documents released since that article was written that show otherwise did you bother to read those or are you basing it on an out of date article from a decade ago that didn't have the benefit of this information?. A 5 minute Google search will show you loads of far more recent articles discussing this.

[@FrankCoffman]

@@wkworld6741 ~ I realize that Kissinger and Nixon connived to undermine the Allende regime. That's a matter of record. Kissinger is a reprehensible character who ran an amoral foreign policy under Nixon and Ford. Kissinger was pleased with the 1973 coup in Chile. He cozied up to the Pinochet regime. But there's no evidence that Kiissinger had a role in the 1973 coup. The current issue of The Nation magazine has an article by Peter Kornbluh on how Kissinger "plotted the murder of Chilean democracy." Kornbluh is famililar with all documents about Kissinger and Chile, but Kornbluh doesn't cite any direct proof that Kissinger was involved in the coup. If you know of classified documents that show otherwise, please tell us where we can find them. I know of no such documents.

[@TheTinyAutistsGuideToTheGalaxy]

@@FrankCoffmanyou’re ignoring the proof that has since come out. Try to keep up.

[@FrankCoffman]

@@TheTinyAutistsGuideToTheGalaxy ~ I have kept up. There's no proof that Kissinger was behind the military coup in Chile in 1973. Kissinger is guilty of many reprehensible things, but not the Chile coup. The notion that Kissinger somehow engineered the coup has been repeated so many times that it has become a "fact" in many people's minds. But no details of how he instigated the coup have ever been provided. That should be a clue that the claims are false.

Mr Hitchens was an amazing man

[@Sagaciousish]

The suit against Henry Kissinger was set for sept 11 2001. Coincidence?

[@MustafaKulle]

+Sagaciousish Interesting. Any sources?

[@daftwod]

+Sagaciousish Perhaps you mean the release date of Hitchens book?

[@Sagaciousish]

+Mustafa Kulle www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2002/11/the_latest_kissinger_outrage.html My bad, on sept 10 2001 a suit was filed against Kissinger for the murder of a Chilean general

[@MustafaKulle]

Sagaciousish So what's happened to that law suit? What now?

[@daftwod]

They completely forgot about it. Until now!!

[@Yet333]

Kissinger’s alliance with Rockefeller speaks volumes.

[@UFL3]

47:29 10 years ago, I wanted to believe this was hyperbole. Re-listening in 2023, my heart breaks at the realization that it likely is not

[@2911721905]

what would hitchens had said today

[@paxwallace8324]

A very bad man Kissinger not Hitchens

[@weakboson7813]

Listening to this makes Hitchens support of the iraq war even more infuriating. He was happy to wax liberal in arpil 2001 about justice and international law, but a couple years later he was all on board with bush's bombings - a crime equal to those he talks so emotively about here.

[@ViKODiN_]

It certainly would be something to hear his thoughts in retrospect on it were he alive today, especially with regard to the massive arms of state surveillance that proliferated through the Obama administration.

[@Revolver1701]

Henry Kissinger is now dead.

[@wokejcickisapinko5162]

All the crap thats going on around the world today (2021) I blame Kissinger

[@theathea3064]

Notice how all the secretary of states so far are Zionist Jews. Seems like we are hijacked.

[@FactCheckerGuy]

Good call. The world was perfect before HK came along.

[@SpencerHHO]

Everytime an old Hitchens talk comes up I despair at the loss represented by his passing. I disagree with some of the positions he stated but the quality of political discourse has suffered immensely with his absence.

[@Johnconno]

Horror has a face, and you must make a friend of Horror, unless it happens to be the face of Kissingerr.

[@xmoroseguyx]

What about that French Policeman who stopped him in Paris and told him a Judge wants to talk to him in Court about the murder of three Chilean Policemen, It`s believed they were killed by the murderers of the President on their way out of the Country right ?

[@robertlevinson9188]

Why does killer Kissinger live to 101 and Christopher dies in his 60’s? Right & Fair doesn’t exist. Bob.

[@DavidStacey-hy9qz]

Same as Churchill, Britain had Churchill and America had Kissinger Their similarities are astounding

We don t need files and footage of Killinger, he was evil incarnate.

[@Jojosworld000]

He did care, he cared enough to expose a legit animal like Kissinger.

[@lostgleammedia]

But why did they extend the Vietnam war for 4 years and extend it secretly to other countries... what was the reason from a saving face point of view

[@FactCheckerGuy]

"They" didn't extend the Vietnam war by a day. They kept US forces in the field for almost 3 years after Nixon took office while they negotiated a "peace" treaty with North Vietnam that it had no intention of keeping.

[@lostgleammedia]

@@FactCheckerGuy but why did the USA do that

[@useyourbrain1539]

He fails, purposefully I believe, to discuss the true affect Cold War fears had on these men. They did believe in the Dominoe Theory, and felt combating the Soviets was a necessity, regardless of methodology.

[@soylentgreenb]

The panama papers proved the war in Vietnam was about oil, tin and rubber.

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Good to hear that Kissinger is no longer stealing our oxygen.
