- "The US must carry out some act somewhere in the
world which shows its
- determination to continue to be a world power."
-
- -- Henry Kissinger, post-Vietnam blues, as quoted in
The Washington Post,
- April 1975
-
-
- "Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops
entered Los Angeles to
- restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful. This is
especially true if
- they were told there was an outside threat from beyond,
whether real or
- promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is
then that all
- peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to
deliver them from
- this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown.
When presented
- with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly
relinquished for
- the guarantee of their well being granted to them by
their world
- government."
-
- -- Henry Kissinger speaking at Evian, France, May 21,
1992 Bilderburg
- meeting. Unbeknownst to Kissinger, his speech was taped
by a Swiss
- delegate to the meeting.
-
-
- "I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a
country go communist due
- to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are
much too important
- for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves."
-
- -- Henry Kissinger, Secretary of State under Richard
Nixon, about Chile
- prior to the CIA overthrow of the democratically elected
government of
- socialist President Salvadore Allende in 1973
-
-
- "Why should we flagellate ourselves for what the
Cambodians did to each
- other?"
-
- -- Henry Kissinger - who (with Richard Nixon) was responsible
for the
- massive bombing of Cambodia in 1973, which killed three-quarters
of a
- million peasants and disrupted Cambodian society, setting
the stage for
- Pol Pot to come to power and ultimately kill another
one-and-a-half
- million people
-
-
- "Covert action should not be confused with missionary
work."
-
- -- Henry Kissinger, commenting on the US sellout of the
Kurds in Iraq in
- 1975
-
-
- "The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional
takes a little longer."
-
- --Henry Kissinger
