Christopher Hitchens on Henry Kissinger 

As the old adage goes "its hard to kill a bad thing"- Kissinger is pure evil...

plenty of lousy people on this planet, and you focus your attention in a petty way

God took him young, he pushed his luck for too long serving Satan. Now in torment in the pits of the earth.

@@Gods_messenger_Elijah And yet your god refuses to take a guy who committed crimes against humanity and has the blood of millions of innocent people on his hands. Hitchens never killed anyone or caused anyone to die. Yet, he gets taken early?. Your god has questionable judgement and morals

@@TheKnowledgeMan101 Both worked for Satan. Hitchens bad mouthed God repeatedly. That's why he was taken. God's prerogative. He's your God too, you'll see Him one day.

One more piece of material evidence that a benevolent invisible supernatural super being DOES NOT exist.

@@Raydensherajnot really, Freewill is the confounding variable there.

​@@Raydensherajit exists, keep coping tho

If Hitchens was alive today he would have long been cancelled.

Hitchens wasn't the healthiest person unfortunately Kissinger for all his flaws too better care of his health

He's gone, reduced to atoms

​@@matthummel8306 Nah. He's on the other side. Alive and well.

His words that the American invasion of Iraq was good even if it was based on a pack of lies (his own words) do still sound to the ears of millions of Iraqi families that have lost someone because of it.

Took long enough. Evil has died.

I think the same thing when watch this

@jazz keyboardist oh boy. You're history is a bit limited isn't it. If it was just inheriting vietnam that would be the most minor aspect. He bombed cambodia, and allowed pol pot to take power. Once vietnam kicked pol pot out of power kissenger proceeded to defend the khmer rouge who had turned on the communist, and actively pursued US aid to fighting vietnam. He defended the khmer rouge fully knowing the atrocities they had committed. Fuck kissenger, and his sycophantic apologists.

@@blackearl7891 Plus a lot of things he did in Indonesia, Cyprus i think, Africa, South america...every time I hear talking about foreign wars...Kissinger names pops up...not sure 100% of the accusations are real but SOME must be statisticalyl lol

Cambodian bombing of its eastern border began almost four years before Kissinger came into office. It was endorsed by the Cambodian government. The Khmer Rouge committed their genocide two years after coalition forces pulled out of Indo China. As Solzhenitsyn says it was the anti war movement that condemned these people to their deaths.

@@roughhabit9085 kissinger supported the khmer rouge after vietnam came into power, and kicked that regime out. What enabled the khmer rouge into power was the us mass bombing of the indo vietnamese borders where they ventured deep into the border in a attempt to weaken vietnam.

@Via someone seems butt hurt

@Via Why don't you like Christopher Hitchens?

Via I have have discernment” is just another way of saying I’m a judgmental bastard.

That's why God must be our priority always because when we become ill we start to become more aware of God, When we are good we forget about God, I hope this video will help a lot of people know that this life is nothing, and we can in a second die, But Jesus defeated death and we can live an eternal life just by following Jesus. Jesus died for our sins to save us from judgment and whoever rejects him, From my perspective I feel sorry for that person because he will be judged on the last day.

I agree. But he will die with a strength that he Stood for the righteous, & so in peace. Who reads of Chistopher Hitchens's will always be gaining a direction, while Henry Kissinger books, polices & partnership with Richard Nixon will lead to " Obfuscation ", Nixon China policy was a failure. And the " Watergate scandal heralded his death - knell.

Wonder what his views are to todays world.

@@laqueenawilliams4762 Ask ChatGPT: User Going by his body of work, what would Christopher Hitchens' views be on today's world? Christopher Hitchens was a prominent writer, journalist, and public intellectual known for his sharp wit, criticism of religion, and support for liberal values. Although I can't provide his views on the present day since my training only goes up until September 2021, I can offer insights into his general perspectives that might give you an idea of how he might have approached contemporary issues. Religion and Atheism: Hitchens was an outspoken critic of organized religion. He argued that religion was a source of ignorance, intolerance, and irrationality, and he advocated for secularism and atheism. It is likely that he would continue to voice his concerns about the role of religion in society and its influence on public policy. Free Speech: Hitchens strongly believed in the importance of free speech and the right to express one's opinions, even if they were controversial or offensive. He defended individuals' rights to criticize religion, challenge authority, and engage in open debate. In today's world, he might have been concerned about the rise of cancel culture and restrictions on free expression. War and Interventionism: Hitchens supported military intervention in certain cases, particularly those involving human rights abuses or totalitarian regimes. He famously supported the Iraq War, arguing for the removal of Saddam Hussein's regime. However, his stance on the war became more nuanced over time, and he criticized its execution. In the present day, he might have been critical of ongoing conflicts, interventionist policies, and the consequences of military actions. Politics: Hitchens identified as a leftist and held progressive views on many social issues. He was a strong advocate for civil rights, gender equality, and LGBTQ+ rights. However, he also criticized aspects of the left, including political correctness and identity politics. It is possible that he would have continued to critique the left's handling of certain issues while also opposing right-wing conservatism. Intellectual Rigor and Skepticism: Hitchens valued intellectual rigor, skepticism, and critical thinking. He was known for his thorough research and sharp debates. In today's world, he would likely have continued to challenge ideologies, dogma, and misinformation while promoting the importance of evidence-based reasoning. It's important to note that Christopher Hitchens was a complex thinker, and his views evolved over time. While these points provide a general outline of his positions, it is impossible to predict precisely how he would have responded to the specific circumstances and events of the present day.

@@mvv1408 That was Great!!!!!

@@mvv1408 Well, that told me nothing I didn't already know.

​@@mvv1408So we still don't know the answer? 🥺

Not harsh in any way, shape or form buddy, just truthful which a lot of people don't want to hear but definitely not harsh.

Glenn he still inspires me too . A Renaissance man ; what a modern oddity , what a perpetual treasure .

*Espresso

No, he won. The man lived the rest of his life without seeing the inside of a jail cell.

@@Lobsterwithinternet true. But Kissinger will be remembered as the monster he really was.

Wonder is Kissinger was around for his funeral?

Says more about you than Hitchens

You admired one of the filthiest individuals in history ? You needed a video of Hitchens saying things that are known since the 60s to change your opinion. You are the epitome of utter stupidity and the reason cockroaches like Kissinger exist and go unpunished.

There is certainly something wrong with you. Your perception is definately dulled.

@@nectarinedreams7208 or about the media. Kissinger was a holy cow

The twit is now long gone

@@Eesa_Tariq fair enough this comment did age poorly but twit really maybe youre just jealous of his intellect

@@user-rq8xx8ir9t I wish i could be as narrow minded as you so that i can blindly follow whatever people like him say. He doesnt have intellect, he has pride and has only got away with it because people like you are intellectual challenged to the extent were you think everything he says is true.

God took him young, he pushed his luck for too long serving Satan. Now in torment in the pits of the earth.

@@Gods_messenger_Elijah how many more times are you gonna say this

Still hoping? 😂

@@eIectrostatic Wow you sound like a BIG PILE OF SHIT💩

And? Did he be of any use to anything?

It is proof that you need to have faith in this world. Kissinger at least believes in a deity Yahweh/satan but is not an atheist like Hitchens who doesn't believe in anything; promoting a nihilistic view that we came from nothing,are nothing and will be nothing which is equally unprovable with the theory of the creationists. Big bang is just a speculation at the end of the day.

@@Neater_profile Hitler was a Christian. Bin Landen was a Muslim. What's your point? Being religious doesn't make you a good person. Kissinger is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent women and children. Is that excusable because he claims to believe in sky daddy?

Exactly, the sad truth in many ways

This poor little fellow Kissinger is going to face G*d.

For a while at least.

The straight trees get cut first.

God took him young, he pushed his luck for too long serving Satan. Now in torment in the pits of the earth.

@@Gods_messenger_Elijah God doesn’t exit. Otherwise, he would have given you the wisdom not to judge human beings. You prove that your God doesn’t exit.

God took him young, he pushed his luck for too long serving Satan. Now in torment in the pits of the earth.

Well you have just contradicted Hitch's life's work by telling him to Rest in Peace and thanking him for his work when he is deceased. You do know that he hasn't heard a word you said.

Sadly, Hitchens is dead. He died the same year this video was released.

John Pilger is a proper journalist among others

@@marshalldonnell7472 Thanks. What I meant was where is the new blood. Pilger is awesome but has a few years left to be honest. I miss Hitch..... :D

Why “almost” surely it should be an absolute pity. But yes I agree hell is another fairytale for the theists.

@@jamesa2482 If there's a hell for him to go to, then there's a being or beings who created/built such a place, which is not good in the final analysis. I also don't believe in cruel and unusual punishments, even for those who "deserve" them.

Or god wanted to enjoy hitch’s company but wanted to keep Kissinger out for as long as possible.

He supported the invasion of Iraq?

his turn cant come fast enough

@MsZeitgeist85. No karma. Correct!!! . But:;; there IS an Almighty God who judges. Kissinger WILL see Him one day and answer for his deeds Don’t worry about that

this comment aged like milk or did enough people send their prayer waves to him?

@user-rq8xx8ir9t Wow... 12 years ago. Good catch. And I tend to see Hitchens in a very different light these days. Amazing how our perspective can change over time.

@@sandite26 12 years!!! 👏 I wanna know in what sense do you see him now differently?

@@Utsav_Viradiya I can look back and see that his public opinions always conveniently lined up with Israeli policy. The Iraq War, for example, and most of the other regime change operations in the Middle East. He was doing PR for the neocon movement.

@@sandite26 He was probably the greatest British mind of his life time

No. Nixon was just as evil as Kissinger.

During the negotiations for the return of the Vietnam POWs, Lao wanted a separate agreement. Kissinger told Lao they would have the same deal as Vietnam. Lao would be included with Vietnam. There be one agreement only. Consequently around 3,000 prisoners were left behind alive.

he was the us secretary of state under nixon and gerald for and he got a 1973 nobel peace prize for negotiating a ceasefire in vietnam thats right gandhi doesnt get one but someone responsible for up to 5.5 million or more deaths like kissinger does im so done with this world
