Kissinger at 100: New War Crimes Revealed in Secret Cambodia Bombing
Anthony Bourdain: “ 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.”
Kissinger at 100: New War Crimes Revealed in Secret Cambodia Bombing That Set Stage for Forever Wars
A bombshell new investigation from The Intercept reveals that former U.S. national security adviser and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was responsible for even more civilian deaths during the U.S. war in Cambodia than was previously known. The revelations add to a violent résumé that ranges from Latin America to Southeast Asia, where Kissinger presided over brutal U.S. military interventions to put down communist revolt and to develop U.S. influence around the world. While survivors and family members of these deadly campaigns continue to grieve, Kissinger celebrates his 100th birthday this week. “This adds to the list of killings and crimes that Henry Kissinger should, even at this very late date in his life, be asked to answer for,” says The Intercept’s Nick Turse, author of the new investigation, “Kissinger’s Killing Fields.” We also speak with Yale University’s Greg Grandin, author of Kissinger’s Shadow: The Long Reach of America’s Most Controversial Statesman.
Nova spektakularna istraga Intercepta otkriva da je bivši američki savetnik za nacionalnu bezbednost i državni sekretar Henri Kisindžer odgovoran za još više smrtnih stradanja civila tokom američkog rata u Kambodži nego što se ranije znalo. Otkrića doprinose saldu nasilja koji se proteže od Latinske Amerike do jugoistočne Azije, gde je Kisindžer predsedavao brutalnim američkim vojnim intervencijama kako bi ugušio komunistički revolt i razvio uticaj SAD širom sveta. Dok preživeli i članovi porodica ovih smrtonosnih kampanja i dalje tuguju, Kisindžer ove nedelje slavi svoj 100. rođendan. „Ovo se dodaje na listu ubistava i zločina za koje bi od Henrija Kisindžera trebalo, čak i u ovom veoma kasnom periodu svog života, biti zatraženo da odgovara“, kaže Nik Turs iz Intercepta, autor nove istrage „Kissingerova polja ubijanja“. Takođe se razgovara sa Gregom Grandinom sa Univerziteta Jejl (autorom knjige “Kisindžerova senka: Dugi domet najkontroverznijeg američkog državnika”) / koji upozorava da je uloga Kisindžera kao jednog od tvoraca prvo tajnih a zatim javnih i brutalnih politika intervenisanja kao i devastirajućih procesa uzurpacija i privatizacija širom sveta, bitnija za razumevanje njegovog istorijskog značaja i funkcije od uloge ratnog zločinca, što je nesumnjivo bio./
