Yeah because a 96, 98 and 100 year old would never die of anything else other than the jab... I hope you’re being sarcastic.

HK was the grand architect of the Petrodollar. That and abandoning the gold standard led to the explosion of USD denominated debt, worldwide.

He was testifying in congressional hearings well into his 90s. He had a good, long run.

He was very good at taking orders from Nixon because the actual genius behind Richard Nixon’s foreign policy was Richard Nixon, not Kissinger.

I did not bump my head. Can’t speak for any others here. But I can say I don’t recall him ever saying any of those things. I would have to research further before I could comment on this.

“Rosalynn Carter, Charlie Munger, and now Kissinger. What the hell is going on? The jab?”

No, that is just what happens when you get into your late nineties.

I consider him more of a ‘sign of the times’ and an ‘icon of history’ more than straight good or bad. He did a lot of both.

He and Nixon are both that way, very flawed men in very complicated times.

What a shame. Rest in Peace good sir.

I actually had his memoirs for years. Was never actually able to read them the whole way through. More than a thousand pages on each of his 3 volumes. And now I will never get one of them signed by him.

On another note you will see some of the usual falsehoods pushed by the left about his foreign policy, to head some of them off to start with,

Debunking the myth he installed Pinochet in Chile.

Is it a shame when a 100 year old person dies?

96, 99, 100. They all beat the odds and then some.

R.I.P., Hank. Another one for the category of “so old that I’m surprised he died as I genuinely forgot that he wasn’t already dead.”
