NP Re: Kissinger the Exterminator

[davemarc]

According to Sean Kelly and Rosemary Rogers, co-authors of a recent
paperback called Who In Hell..., Henry Kissinger's already in the company
of Mata Hari, Richard M. Nixon, and Cecil Rhodes--chiefly due to Hypocrisy:

"Some crimes are so heinous as to result in immediate damnation of the
soul, even though the sinner's body (repossessed by a demon) continues to
'live' on earth.  Dante (in canto 33 of the Inferno) cites the case of the
treacherous homicide Branca D'Oria, who lived fifty years after his spirit
was plunged deep into Hell.

"However alive and well the esteemed statesman and wealthy consultant may
appear to be on his frequent television appearances, the butcher of
Cambodia was whisked to his eternal, exceedingly warm reward on October 16,
1973, at the very moment he modestly accepted the Nobel Peace Prize."

But no matter how despicable he may be, Kissinger is not, and was never, an
"American Nazi."  George Lincoln Rockwell, William Pierce, and Glenn Miller
(not the trombonist) simply wouldn't have had him as a member.
