Kissinger: Manchurian candidate?

Two Schemers Plotting the Demise of America



[Note: Portions of this blogpost may be humorous or inaccurate, thus should not be taken as fact
Portions of this post have been drawn from the research of Christopher Hichens]


Henry Kissinger may be recorded as one of the most 

despicable US official in America's history!


What defies logic is Kissinger's motivation 

in destroying other countries, and the US.

[The answer is at the bottom of this post]


[Note:  Portions of this post are drawn from the research of Christopher Hichens]


                                                                ---------------


One of the great concerns of Military and Intelligence officers who agree to private [secret] accords with senior Administration officials, to include the US President, is that you'll get hung out to dry after you've done their bidding.  


[In the case of Hillary, we have a list of well over 100 persons willing to testify agains her or Bill who committed "suicide".  But, that's another story; this post is about Henry Kissinger]



In the case of General John D. Lavelle

Kissinger publicly denied that he and Nixon 

encouraged Lavelle to bomb North Viet Nam.



In fact, Lavelle followed the covert directives of the White House -- with Kissinger's guarantee that President Nixon would support him.  Kissinger thus made Lavalle the Fall Guy and hung him out to dry when it was revealed Nixon had not authorized the bombing.

Nixon tape transcripts support Lavelle’s claim to innocence of Congressional charges, 

Nixon was quoted, on tape, in his conversations with Henry Kissinger: 

I don't want to hurt an innocent man. Frankly, Henry, I don't feel right about pushing him (Lavelle) into this thing and then, and then giving him a bad rap...I just don't want him to be made a goat, goddammit."   

[Washington Post6 Aug 2010, Richard Sisk.]






[Although there was general agreement on Capitol Hill that Lavelle’s reputation and rank should be reinstated, albeit posthumously, the most aggressive foe of this action was Henry Kissinger  -- whose own reputation would be called into question were Lavelle to be exonerated.]


The Senate reinstated the reputation and rank of General Lavelle, who had been humiliated and stripped of two of his four stars for 'allegedly authorizing ‘rogue bombings’ in North Viet Nam in 1972.


```````````

[Historically, many of us in the Military and in the Intelligence Community followed secret orders from the White House (through Presidents' official representatives) to conduct covert operations which had the support of the US President.  

(too often, these Patriots would be hung out to dry as "criminals" by the likes of Kissinger!)


[I dodged such an action merely by a quirk of fate, causing me to depart the US Southern Command in 1984 and return to Washington, DC to create the DCS 

(Defense Clandestine Service)]


For those who felt (and still feel) Kissinger was above reproach, it would appear he had his own agenda, which wasn’t necessarily in the best interests of the US [but rather, from the Rockefeller Shadow Government, also known as "The Company" - of which, the CIA is a mere tool.

[But, there was another actor in this odd scenario; keep reading]



On May 27, 2006, The Washington Post carried a story on [newly released] National Archive documents pertaining to a meeting between Henry Kissinger and Chinese Premier Zhou EnLai on June 22, 1972.

According to the Post and the Archives documents:


"Kissinger told Zhou that the US respected its Hanoi enemy as a 'permanent factor' and probably the 'strongest entity' in the region.


"And we have had no interest in destroying it or even defeating it'  

he [Kissinger] insisted. "





Since this story was published, follow-ups or even letters to the editor relating to Kissinger's comments were conspicuous by their absence.


Kissinger’s letter to Zhou would be noteworthy to most Americans who lived through the Viet Nam War era and heard Kissinger remark about "... the light at the end of the tunnel."   

                        -- They didn’t realize it was Kissinger’s tail-light! 


It would be shocking to the Vietnam vets and the families of the casualties, and to the South Vietnamese that, as of June 1972the US had no interest in defeating North Viet Nam


 




Simons' addressing his rescue team


According to one member of our Laos 4-man team coming in from Saigon, virtually every covert and clandestine Intelligence 
operation in Vietnam was completely compromised due to NVA/Viet Cong penetration of CIA and MI operations, as well as the loose headquarters management of sensitive operational materials 


[(e.g., the failure of the Son Tay raid by Colonel Bull Simons; his months' long planned rescue operation was broadcast by General Westmoreland into Washington, DC cocktail party conversations.

(oddly being revealed later to Vietnamese guests)] 







Some may recall that the Vietnam war continued until 1975 - with significant US casualties, and continuing imprisonment of US POWs by North Vietnam [many of whom were not returned to the US due to Kissinger's blocking of war reparations to North Vietnam].


This agreement between Kissinger and Zhou was a remarkable event since both China and North Viet Nam recognized that Hanoi could not sustain the war much longer. 


Kissinger’s letter of encouragement Zhou apparently gave both China and North Viet Nam the will to continue, and to refocus their regional strategies.



Coincidentally, that was the time frame [summer 1972] when the interrogations I conducted of North Vietnamese and Pathet Lao (Communist Laotian) officers and enlisted troops in Laos revealed that North Viet Nam could no longer sustain the war

   

[I provided these reports (via the US Embassy in Laos) to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) via IIRs [Intelligence Information Report]; notably, DIA refused to release those reports via my FOIA requests five years ago, even though I provided IIR numbers and dates of submission; DIA advised the reports did not exist.  (In my personnel file, I have a citation from the commander of the 500th MI Group congratulating me/us on the success of our project]].


[To clarify my role in this reporting process] 


I was assigned to a 500th MI Group Covert Operation (5310-03) in Laos consisting of Military Intelligence operatives (with language skills) from the Army and USAF to conduct 

"Human and Materie'l Exploitation".  


Components of this program operated throughout Southeast Asia based on their linguistic and Intelligence skill sets - replacing CIA officers who had neither Military experience/training nor Foreign Language skills - or area experience/education.

[When we built the DCS, all of my operatives [case officers] were required to have advanced degrees, foreign language skills, and and extensive area knowledge via academia or in-country experience.  (CIA has nothing to match - except borrowed Military officers)]


In addition to conducting interrogations/debriefings in Laos, we recruited "assets" to penetrate North Vietnamese military and political units at the highest levels - thus, the value of our reporting was unmatched by anything produced [and compromised] in South Vietnam.  We also seized, evaluated, and shipped Soviet and NVA materie'l to the US for exploitation by technical experts.]



During the summer of 1972, the  interrogations I conducted of North Vietnamese and Pathet Lao (Communist Laotian) officers and enlisted troops in Laos revealed that

 North Viet Nam could no longer sustain the war


1.  North Viet Nam was running out of combat troops. 


        a) A number of the NVA prisoners I interrogated were highly educated, reflecting that
            the NVA draft had reached the elites; one prisoner, an economist, was a graduate 
            of the London School of EconomicsHis interpretation of Vietnam's situation was
            that North Viet Nam had run out of draft-able men and that the government had
            reached into the bureaucracy and the schools for leaders and ground forces.


    b) For combat troops, they were drafting women and boys in their early teens.


    c)  For combat-support troops, such as anti-aircraft (AAA) and artillery units, women 

         replaced the men. 

        [In 1972, I provided DIA with an eye-witness report of a US napalm air-strike 

        on an artillery unit in South Laos, with photographs of the melting

        bodies of dozens of shrieking young female soldiers, some still in their 

        armored personnel carriers.


    d)  North Viet Nam had established "rest camps" in remote areas of Viet Nam to house

        military amputees; on the surface, a benign health and welfare program, it was, 

        in reality, the means to keep the amputees out of public view so the general population

        would not see their maimed soldiers returning from the war, which would conflict with

        the North Vietnamese government's official pronouncement of victory.  

    

    e) To fill the gaps, sophisticated Soviet military equipment, with Soviet military advisors,

        was pouring into Viet Nam and Laos to compensate for diminishing numbers of 

        communist NVA troops.

         

         

T-80 Main Battle Tank

                (i) The captured equipment included 

             heavy artillery [130 mm Field Guns], 

             amphibious tanks, and the newest 

             tanks available [PT-63, T-72, and 

             the brand new T-80].  


        (ii) We captured the T-80 tank which 

             was being field tested in Laos 

             under actual battle conditions

             — long before it was introduced to

                 the Soviet Army in Europe. 

            [That tank now decorates the entrance to the 

             Foreign Science and Technology Center in Virginia.]


    f)  In retrospect, it is evident that North Vietnam, China, and the USSR were in 

        the process, in 1972 and 1973, of implementing a "post-war planning program

        designed to implement the "Domino Theory" to conquer the remainder of Southeast 

        Asia through the creation of a regional communist insurgency. 


   g) The Chinese had already established a foothold in North Laos and had shot down 

        US Air America and USAF aircraft with SAMs (Surface to Air Missiles);

   

   h) They also controlled northern Cambodia, and had spread their proselytizing units

        through northern Burma to create a communist insurgency there.


   i)  The four North Vietnamese regiments in Laos were beefed up in Laos with more troops

       and modern Soviet equipment, but generally avoided combat; these units were likely

       being positioned to become – and did become -- occupation forces when US forces 

       were later remove by Kissinger.


  j)  North Viet Nam established a basic training program for insurgents from Thailand,  

     Cambodia, and Malaysia.  Initial screening and training took place in North Viet Nam, 

     but the long term and more sophisticated training camps and cadre were based in 

     mainland China. 

    [We penetrated the Chinese operations and recovered Chinese Insurgent training films]


k)  A sophisticated NVA (actually Chinese) logistics organization [Binh Tram] was deployed, with supply lines reaching from southern China through Viet Nam and Laos to Northeast Thailand to support the Insurgency in northeast Thailand.


    

Dien Bien Phu


(i) 
This unit provided no logistic support to NVA or Pathet Lao 

        units operating in Laos

        -- even after we located and destroyed the NVA's supply 

        cave depot in Dien Bien Phu,  leaving the four NVA regiments

        without food, uniforms, weapons or ammunition for their 

        1973 Spring Offensive in Laos. 


    (ii) The sole purpose of this logistics organization was to

         support the Chinese sponsored Insurgency in Northeast

         Thailand and as an "underground railroad" to move new

          recruits back to North Viet Nam 

         -- and into China for insurgent cadre training.



l)  Communists from the international community [e.g., Italy, East Germany, USSR] were regular visitors to the Pathet Lao headquarters in Xiang Kuang in Northeast Laos where they received briefings on the structure of the communist takeover of the region, reviewed guerrilla training programs, and, among other events, visited the secret PoW camp two kilometers south of Xiang Kuang (Laos) where US prisoners were interred.


        (i)  With this Intelligence, no rescue effort was ever launched in Laos] 

             – perhaps through Kissinger’s resistance; he certainly made 

             no effort to employ China in the recovery of US POWs.

             [In spite of our entreaties via US Ambassador [Godley] to Laos

             to authorize a rescue mission for these POWs, the Pentagon consistently 

             resisted any such action [as we learned later, Kissinger blocked those requests]


     (ii)  I provided detailed information to DIA of the Italian communist visitors to 

           Xiang Khuang, urging the US State Department to coordinate with the 

           Italian government to assist the US in identifying these US POWs, and 

           perhaps retrieving them; all to no avail

          [We later learned the John McCain's father (Admiral McCain) 

          also blocked those efforts) "lest his son be punished for our actions".


m)  The US pull-out from South Viet Nam resulted in the collapse of the country and

      the communist takeover, with thousands of South Vietnamese military either 

      executed or interred in "rehabilitation" camps.


n) When I visited Saigon in 1974-75, all was relatively peaceful, although there was an occasional [unmanned] machine-gun nest at scattered street corners. 

    In reality, there were no NVA troops within miles of Saigonand the videos of the 

    South Vietnamese scrambling to get on US helicopters, hanging on the struts, was a propaganda show - without basis.  

    The NVA simply did not have enough troops to march into Saigon!  


        (i) Meanwhile, Kissinger's letter to Zhou EnLai guaranteed there would be no 

            US troops to block a Chinese takeover of Southeast Asia, affording the Chinese 

            an infiltration process  into Laos, Cambodia, (the "killing fields"), establishing a

            whole new non-combatant process to the communist takeover concept. 


     (ii) Thus, the long-predicted Domino Effect began to take place, with Thailand, Burma,

          Malaysia, and Singapore as undefended targets.


    (iii) Those of us on the ground could see it coming, but we couldn't figure out 

         why we were cutting and running when we clearly had the upper hand.


    (iv)  This was a re-enactment of the French abandonment of its Indochina Military force

           during the crucial battle of Dien Bien Phu (the site of the French defeat

           in 1954).  History books claim the French force were demoralized, sick, and 

           easily  defeated.  However, according to survivors, that was not the case; the

           French government had tired of the war and its expense, and simply abandoned its

           troops - 11,000 of them becoming POWs, and only 3,500 survived.




2.  As the combat drew to a close in Laos 

     [due to the peace negotiations], I moved to a 

     CIA base in Northeast Thailand where, 

     with the  assistance of the Thai Special Operations

     Command [CSOC] and the Border Patrol Police,

     I established an effective counter-insurgency

     program in Thailand. 


    As we maintained a non-descript office on the

    nearby USAF base, I gained the support of the

    commanders of the F-4 Wing and the AC-130

    Squadron.


    In spite of all the restrictions on our operations, 

    we dealt the Thai insurgency a crippling

    blow in August 1973.


    a) Several 250 pound bombs were jettisoned by US F4s returning from bombing runs

         in Viet Nam, coincidentally over the insurgent base camp in northern Cambodia; 


    b) The result was approximately 135 secondary explosions; 


    c)  Post-strike BDA (bomb-damage-assessment) films indicated more than 300 casualties. 



I worked hand-in-glove with the Thai counter-insurgency program, and we developed a 

superb counter-insurgency program, employing a then-sophisticated technology of UGS 

(Unattended Ground Sensors) to track noctornal movements (after curfews) and NSA tracking, enabling penetrations of the communist organizations in China, and rendering many of these communist organizations impotent.  We were well on our way to the complete elimination of the Chinese sponsored insurgency in Northeast Thailand! 


Six months later, all US intelligence operations were abruptly terminated and CIA and MI operatives were removed overnight. In that process, all covert HUMINT [Human Intelligence] operations and agent networks in Viet Nam, Laos, and Cambodia (many of which had been created in WW2 to oppose the Japanese invaders, but all were still operational to monitor events in Southeast Asia). Kissinger ordered all operations to be shut down!


Once the operational networks were eliminated, there would be no means for maintaining even minimal contact, or re-establishing our networks.  


Protesting to the senior US hierarchy brought back strict and harsh orders from the Pentagon (obeying Kissinger orders from the Oval Office, that "under no circumstances will you maintain contact with any agent nets in Laos, Cambodia, Viet Nam, or Burma (now Myanmar)."


[These orders were a mystery to me since it is intelligence doctrine to maintain"sleeper agents" in "denied areas" in order to obtain intelligence on areas which were potential threats to the US or its allies. Why discard trained assets, particularly when they had placement, access, and the means to report?]


(The hidden factor is at the end of this post)


As luck would have it, we trained the Thai military and Border Patrol Police well, and the accidental bombing set back the insurgency effort by years -- allowing the Thais to fully develop their own capabilities to be effectively functional without US support.  


Nonetheless, we lost our Southeast Asia clandestine capability of monitoring regional stability! 


SEA "Dominos"


In the end, the Domino Theory became reality in Viet Nam as the South collapsed, the Royal Lao government in Laos collapsed, and the Lon Nol government in Cambodia  was toppled by the Khmer Rouge; however, given Kissinger's machinations and negotiations with China, it was very conceivable that Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore would have been among the collapsing dominos.



[Even so, given Kissinger's encouragement, the Chinese invaded northern Thailand in 1975, but were repelled by the Nationalist Chinese [Kuomintang (KMT), Meo Tribesmen, and a smattering of Australia Military troops. [but, that's an entirely separate story).


As a footnote to Vietnam, Kissinger signed (in Nixon's name) and agreement with North Vietnam to have all the remaining 1,500 US POWs released in exchange for a payment of roughly $3 billion to rebuild post-war Vietnam.  Vietnam acted in good faith, but Kissinger and John McCain later ensured that Vietnam would not receive that payment - thus abandoning those US POWs as slaves.  


Kissinger and McCain would continue to stymie all recovery/rescue efforts as well as negotiations with the Vietnamese government - to this day.


-----


With the Viet Nam War relegated to the dust-bin of history, Kissinger next looked at the Middle East. 


Shah of Iran

Kissinger cut a private deal with the Shah of Iran to prevent US Intelligence from reporting on the Shah's political problems with an increasingly hostile populace, and the looming political strength of the exiled Ayatollah Khomeini


Kissinger barred US Intelligence operatives and analysts from reporting on events in Iran except in full coordination with Savak [the Iranian National Intelligence and Security Organization].  


Ayatollah Khomeini




That meant that US intelligence collectors could not report on the growing popularity in Iran of the exiled Ayatollah Khomeini’s and/or the coming revolution.  The rest, of course, is history – which we continue to deal with today with Iran supporting Islamic extremism throughout the Middle East.



Interestingly, we find that Kissinger was also behind a large number of political coups and instability operations in Third World countries to include: 

 

    1) his encouragement of West Pakistan to invade East Pakistan in 1971 

        - resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis in what 

        became Bangladesh; and 


    2) in 1973, Kissinger reportedly arranged the assassination of 

        Chilean President Allende [blamed on the CIA); 


    3) he promoted Turkey's invasion of Cyprus, creating a permanent 

        hostile situation there that remains today.  


    4) In addition, he interrupted the peaceful transitions of colonial governments in 

        a) Angola, 

        b) Guinea Bissau, and 

        c) Mozambique

 

    5) In that same time frame, Kissinger encouraged Morocco to seize Western Sahara.


    6) In 1976, Kissinger gave the green light to the Argentina military to launch their 

        "counter-terrorism" war against dissidents, in what became known as the 

        "Dirty War" in which tens of thousands of citizens were "disappeared" or murdered.



Rasputin

None of Kissinger's manipulation had escaped the attention of the US Intelligence Community or the Pentagon, who remained stunned at the power this reincarnation of Rasputin wielded in the name of US Presidents as he steadily destroyed both the credibility of the US, as well as crippling US Intelligence! 


[In that period, few recognized the puppeteering of the Rockefellers and the "Shadow Government" - but, did not recognize another actor.] 




General Walters

The solution to removing Kissinger from power came with the Watergate scandal, engineered by then Director of Central IntelligenceVernon Walters in conjunction with Ben Bradlee, the editor of The Washington Post, who offered up two naive and mentally challenged cub reporters to "break the story" and continue reporting on the scandal until Nixon was forced from office.

[Deep Throat was not the FBI agent [Mark Felt] as proposed by the Washington Post; Felt did not have the access or mobility within the White House.


Deep Throat was, in fact, General Walters, a senior insider and Director of the CIA, trusted by Nixon, thus capable of by-passing Kissinger - Nixon's Gate-Keeper.. 


Walters regarded Kissinger as the greatest risk to US intelligence and national security.

(As part of my DCI Fellowship in 1981, I was assigned to the State Department (INR) where I would work directly for Secretaries of State Haig and Schultz, and indirectly for General Walters, then Reagan's Ambassador At Large (and unidentified White House source to the Media)


[Nixon was thus replaced by Gerald Ford, of minimal talent or power; Ford then moved Kissinger to the State Department, but barred him from the NSC - likely because of Walters.] 


[Contrary to Media/Shadow Government propaganda, Nixon was an honest man who trusted Kissinger, who used his access and position to speak for Nixon's name and power to disrupt the world.]     



Kissinger leading Indonesia into a 20 year war


In 1975, Kissinger [now speaking for the new US President, Gerald Ford, as Ford's Secretary of State), encouraged Indonesia's Suharto to invade/conquer East Timor and West Papua (casualties were estimated at 200,000) - which were then subjugated for 20+ years.  




The Bohemian Grove World Government
[Still Active]


Ridding the government of Kissinger was not an easy task since he had the support of the Shadow Government [Rockefeller and the luminaries of the Bohemian Grove financial globalists] who were believed to benefit significantly from each of Kissinger's actions in disrupting over overthrowing governments.

[But, even with that backing, it was bewildering to see his staying power.]




But, the following information, recently revealed, may shed light on the power of Kissinger, and his interest in destroying the United States - his adopted homeland.


Historical Note:


Most observers are unaware that Kissinger served in the US Military [Counter-Intelligence Corps] during WW2 as a young [entering as an 18 year old]  "interpreter" and interrogator, thus joining the US Intelligence fold.  


Reportedly, Kissinger was part of the Morganthau slaughter of German POWs directed by (then) Secretary of Treasury, Henry Morganthau (fired by President Truman). Kissinger's role in that atrocity cannot be confirmed, but would explain his selection and grooming by the Shadow Government to become a key influencer for the Rockefeller cabal in later years.  

But, maybe not.


[My father, a Military Police officer who escorted a (surrendered) German Army regiment to a prison camp in France, was horrified when he learned that a West Point lieutenant had his men open fire on the newly encamped German POWs, killing them all.  My father arrested the lieutenant - but was informed that the execution order came from the FDR White House - and no action could be taken against the lieutenant for War Crimes.]


Further investigation into Kissinger's Military service appears in a  "Security Report 

[CIA-RDP75-00149R000300140001-6] which cites a WW2 Polish Army Intelligence Officer [Colonel General Michel Goleniewsk], a Soviet Intelligence officer who later defected, and who subsequently accurately identified numerous KGB and GRU agents.


Goleniewski furnished US Intelligence with over 5,000 pages of top-secret documents, 160 microfilms of secret reports, 800 pages of Soviet intelligence reports, the names of hundreds of Communist agents in Western Europe, and much more.


In 1961, Colonel General Goleniewski identified Henry Kissinger, then a meaningless Harvard professor, as having been a US Army CIC sergeant recruited by ODRA [the Polish [communist) Intelligence Underground Group] operating in Germany, and absorbed by the Soviet KGB after WW2.  


Col Wozniesienski

Polish Intelligence Colonel Wozniesienski documents identified Kissinger in a report identifying recruited assets as code-named "Bor", Baraban, and handled by KGB agent  Bosenhard.


Following WW2, Kissinger left the US Army Counter-Intelligence Corps, applied for and received an officer's commission, rising to the rank of Captain in the (USAR) Reserve Corps, and serving on the staff of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence at Fort Holabird [then the Army Intelligence Center].  While a USAR officer, Kissinger edited the quarterly Harvard University publication CONFLUENCE, regarded as pro-communist - and drew the attention of Military Intelligence investigators.


During his visits to the Soviet Union, prior to and during his US government service, Kissinger was reported by a State Department Security Officer [John Norpel, Jr] as frequently being in the company of Soviet KGB staff officers - a violation of national security regulations.


But later, Kissinger had risen in stature to a Harvard professor of note, President Nixon felt Kissinger could be an exceptional asset regarding international affairs.  


It can be assumed that the KGB promoted Kissinger's reputation in Academia, and through recommendations by other recruited assets in the US government.  Thus, Nixon was so anxious to get Kissinger on the job that the President waived the normal security check on Henry.


So, there's the rest of the story!


Given Kissinger's reported recruitment by the KGB/GRU during WW2 as a "Manchurian Candidate", it clarifies Kissinger's actions as Nixon's spokesman to shut down ALL US Intelligence operations at the end of the Vietnam War, and to disrupt the governments of numerous countries.





But, wait, there's more.


A contemporary of Kissinger's at Harvard was a guy named Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was born in Warsaw, Poland and moved to Germany in WW2 - and later to Canada.  


Though a few years younger then Kissinger, he was also an International Affairs luminary (complete with a European accent - which automatically elevated him to Intellectual status); 

 it would seem logical that he would be targeted by the same communist Polish Intelligence organization that recruited Kissinger [i.e., ODRA the Polish Underground Group] operating in Germany, and absorbed by the Soviet KGB after WW2.  


After WW2, the KGB flooded Canada and the US with "Sparrows" [Soviet agents trained to act and speak like Americans, with the mission of targeting and recruiting (and managing) US citizens of political potential.
