It is not nice to be happy if someone dies, but I jubilated when I saw the news this morning. And yes, I remember the photo where K is standing behind Carter (whom I think is a good person, but was a poor president). Unfortunately Schwab has a daughter who seems to be ready to take over, and gates has more than one child. I don't know if they are involved in his criminal activities tho.

Thanks, Ingrid. Carter has perhaps evolved into a better person. That's not for me to say. As for his record when he held power, he was a globalist criminal like all the other presidents.

Thanks! And you mean Carter in your first sentence, right?

I pray you are right. This world needs a lot more redemption stories and related role models.

I don't know him in person, but he has done a lot for habitat for humanity, building houses for people in need. A friend's husband has been in that organization for years too. He suggested some help for the receivers, because lots of them either sell or loose the house quickly. Education should be part of the plan!

Ole Henry defined the depths this country was capable of reaching during the Vietnam Conflict. It wasn’t our first ‘conflict’ but it set the pattern of evil this country has marched ever since.

Thanks, Daniel.

P.S. This country's pattern of evil commenced long before the 1960s!

I remember some scathing criticisms of Kissinger Associates. Wealthy, credulous, international business clients thought they could get near-magical levels influence peddling. Instead, they got empty flattery, a frustrating runaround, and enormous bills. They would have been better off studying the regulatory structures and legal system they were trying to finesse, and hiring local compliance specialists.

Kissinger's great career strength was an aptitude for arse-kissing and back-stabbing. He was much smarter than his peers, but that's a low bar to clear.

You said it, James. It sure didn't hurt HK to be openly - almost proudly - sociopathic, e.g. “With proper tactics, nuclear war need not be as destructive" and saying "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke" to the Kurds after betraying them with lethal impact. The list goes on.

Sadly, it didn't occur decades ago. So much harm done, and worse, so many SEEDS of harm have been sown.

Cindy Sheehan posted this quote by Moms Mabley: " I was always taught never to say anything about the dead unless it’s good. He’s dead. Good!” That says it!
