RIP Henry Kissinger

[The Spin Meister]

Love him or hate …, and many on either side….., he was probably in the top five most impactful person of the post 1950 world that wasn’t President.

Dead at age 100.

[87 Penn St8]

As a kid my father had the tv news on during family dinners as we typicall ate when he got home. Walter Cronkite and food are etched together in my memory.

Kissinger was one of the early names I remember hearing a lot. I wonder what he was thinking about the current state of Israel and Palestine? The riddle without an answer requires someone whose abilities are extraordinary. It seems like that generation is passing away and the new torchbearers are not evident.

RIP

Looked up some of his quotes. First one hit it out of the park!

“Corrupt politicians make the other ten percent look bad.”

I had the privilege of hearing Mr Kissinger speak a long time ago. Spoke a lot about world events that day and what he thought would play out. I thought at the time he was crazy. Most of the things he spoke about that day came to pass.

Would be cool off you could find a copy of that speech and see the results. Probably archived somewhere.
