Kissinger: Gassing Jews would not be a U.S. problem


Share

Henry Kissinger is heard saying on newly released Nixon tapes that the genocide of Soviet Jews would not be an American concern.

The tapes chronicle President Richard Nixon’s obsession with disparaging Jews and other minorities.

Kissinger’s remarks come after a meeting he and Nixon had with Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir on March 1, 1973 in which Meir pleads for the United States to put pressure on the Soviet Union to release its Jews. Nixon and Kissinger, then the secretary of state, dismiss the plea after Meir leaves.

“The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy,” The New York Times on Saturday quotes Kissinger, as saying on the tapes. “And if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern.”

Nixon replies, “I know. We can’t blow up the world because of it.”

Six months later, during the Yom Kippur War, Nixon rejected Kissinger’s advice to delay an arms airlift to Israel as a means of setting the stage for an Egypt confident enough to pursue peace. Nixon, among other reasons, cited Israel’s urgent need.

The American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors and their Descendants in a statement called for an apology from Kissinger, who is still consulted by Democratic and Republican administrations and by Congress on matters of state.

“Henry Kissinger’s comments are morally grotesque and represent a disgraceful perversion of American values,” said the statement. “He owes an apology to all victims of the Nazi Holocaust.”

Nixon secretly recorded his White House conversations. After this was revealed during congressional investigations, the tapes became government property and have been released over the years in intervals.

Elsewhere on the batch of tapes recently released by the Nixon Library, the late president repeats many of the ethnic and racial slurs that had appeared on earlier such releases: Irish are “mean” drunks, he says; Italians “don’t have their heads screwed on tight”; Jews are “aggressive, abrasive and obnoxious”; and it would take blacks “500 years” to catch up with whites.

Well, well! After all the months the antisemites spent calling Madoff worse than Hitler, it looks like someone is worse than Madoff after all! Like the debunking of the Walt/Mearscheimer hypotheses of a Zionist/Neocon conspiracy to get the USA to attack Iran, this debunks the antisemitic hypotheses that Kissinger was being run by a Zionist conspiracy for Jewish world control. Now they will have to backtrack and call Kissinger a great man.

Taking this at face value certainly were a disproportionate lack of intellectual ability both in skill and motivation. Whoever takes the entire curriculum of Mr. Kissinger into account is holistically aware that these remarks must be either fake or cut - with a very dirty knife - out of their context. The pop-up suspiciously coincides with, oh, no, you can imagine for yourself. By the way, some organised groupuscules harass friendly people 2011 times surreptitiously but as soon as they get angry 1 time they have suspiciously extensive footage to highlight how ugly they were. Intellectual honesty, isn’t it?

Taking “...if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern” at face value is not a stretch in any context. For one thing because of the Jewish and non-Jewish constituencies that are so concerned. For another because of a valid American claim to goodness. For a third because Kissinger’s origins and background should have given him a presumptive humane perspective. America flunked the Holocaust and every genocide since, because of rats like Kissinger.

“The best explanation is that the Illuminati are Sabbatean Frankist Jews, a satanist heresy beginning in the 17th century”

Kissinger plays on both sides, like any good double agent.

Comment by James on 12/17/10 at 1:10 pm

The Illuminati are not Sabbatean Frankist Jews. The reverse may be true at times. The Illuminati were independently established, while the Sabbatean Frankists were a parochial movement. The intersection happens because the real Jews are (consciously or not) the greatest impediment to the goals of the Illuminati.
