Kissinger was Nixon’s creature. By the time Nixon got finished with the utter destruction of the US Constitution, there was little left for Reagan to pick up, but not to be out done, Reagan made permanent Nixon’s war on US natural resource harvesters, destroying thousand of livelihoods and families, while giving rise to evermore onerous EPA regulations.
Of course, those not on the receiving end of Reagan’s domestic policies saw only what the MSN permitted, and now are smitten with a very bad case of hero worship as seen through rose colored glasses ... Some will say “cite your sources!” to which I’ll point to the thousands of stories that were never allowed to be shown or printed.
All that happened a long time ago and many on FR are too young to remember and too young to have lived through. All they have is what the educational system taught them. It is just a claim to them that the US was once the richest, freest country in the world, in a world where computers were few and measured by square feet, and phones were attached to a wall.
“Kissinger was Nixon’s creature.”
Kissenger was a CFR Internationalist “creature” long before Nixon was president. I never quite understood why Nixon chose him for Sec. of State. Made no sense and it cost the nation dearly.
And yes, I’m old enough to remember. I turned 68 toward end of December.
