It’s really a shame that Hell is just a myth created by the paid priests of the ruling classes in the Middle Ages to mollify peasants upset that their rulers were getting away with doing bad things with no punishment during their lives (note that Hell is never mentioned in the Bible). Because if Hell actually existed, there was no person more suited for that eternity in the flames than Henry Kissinger. Kissinger never met a dictator that he didn’t want to coddle, or a protester that he didn’t want to shoot, or corruption that he didn’t embrace. For over forty years after he retired he hung around advising the worst amongst us in how to be even worse. And now he’s gone.
It’s a bloody shame that Hell is just a myth (even if you’re a Christian you shouldn’t believe in Hell because it’s not mentioned in the Bible and the Bible is the defining document of what it means to be a Christian). Because Hell would be the only afterlife worthy of Henry Kissinger.
Sigh.

Gotta hand it to Rolling Stone for this headline:

The real tragedy is that he died in comfort in his home in CT, rather than lying in a bunk in a prison cell.

Indeed. Although in his final years he couldn’t go too far beyond his home because he had arrest warrants out for his arrest in many countries.
Sadly, the wealthy and powerful rarely are held accountable. I expect Trump to die in comfort in his home too, because he has enough lawyers to drag things out to well beyond his death. There are three standards of justice in this country, and only the middle one resembles any idealistic rendition of the word “justice”. Neither the poor nor the ultra-wealthy receive justice here, the poor because they cannot afford it, the wealthy because they can buy leniency or drag things out to the point where it’s irrelevant.
