Donald Trump to meet with Henry Kissinger

Source: Reuters

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is scheduled to meet on Wednesday with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the Washington Post reported on Monday, citing three people close to Trump.

The meeting in New York comes after weeks of telephone conversations between Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, and Kissinger, who was a top adviser to Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, the Post said.

Last week, Trump met with former Secretary of State James Baker, who told a congressional hearing on the same day as the meeting that Trump's foreign policy proposals would make the world a less stable place.

11. Kissinger Spreading His Evil Influence

Well, it looks like Kissinger has not yet caused all the trouble that he wants to cause in this hurting world. He has Hillary in his back pocket and now he is going for Trump.

I recently returned from South America where I visited the Museums of Memory and monuments dedicated to the detained and disappeared in Argentina and Uruguay. There about 35,000 young idealistic people were disappeared under Henry's genius program called Operation Condor. There I saw a great quote: "All these disappeared people were guilty as charged of trying to make a better world." Why is this evil person still allowed to influence our foreign policy.

"The Best Democracy Money Can Buy"

But there is no such thing as a "Shadow Government" or "Puppet Masters" ...
just a corrupt embedded oligarchy that operates increasingly more openly
with the tacit approval of the majority of the US Public.
