Henry Kissinger Posthumously Awarded Lifetime Achievement for War Crimes
Henry Kissinger died at the age of 100 last Wednesday having served his country as an unindicted war criminal for most of this time. In honor of his war crimes, the International Brotherhood of War Criminals awarded Kissinger with the Otto Adolf Eichmann Lifetime Achievement for War Crimes posthumously. Kissinger becomes the first of the Brotherhood to be awarded a Novel Peace Prize (1973), a Bronze Star for catching other war criminals in World War II, the Bilderberg Group's World Government Advocate of the Year four times, the Military Industrial Complex Expansion of Wealth Prize, and the Lifetime Achievement award. The award committee cited several highlights of Kissinger's impressive work as reasoning for the award, including solidifying Cuba's dictatorship, opening China for business and atrocities, détente with the Soviets leading to the rise of Putin, and of course the hundreds of thousands of deaths around the world due to self-serving US policy and unnecessary military interventions. When asked why the award was made posthumously, a spokesman for the Brotherhood indicated that it was for the award committee's safety. Some members would rather downplay their achievements on the international stage and are often angered by the publicity around such awards while they are still alive. The Kissinger family tried to distance itself from the Kissinger name, referring to the family as the “Smith” family of Connecticut.
