American war criminal and mass murderer Henry Kissinger died in his home on Wednesday November 29, 2023. He was aged 100 years.

According to his biographer, Kissinger was responsible for the deaths of between three to four million people. Some of his crimes include support for the Indonesian New Order regime’s invasion of Timor Leste and Pakistan’s genocidal war on Bangladesh, the mass bombing of Cambodia and extension of the Vietnam War.

Since his death, brilliant pieces have appeared such as The murderous legacy of Henry Kissinger in Middle East Eye, Rolling Stone’s Henry Kissinger, War Criminal Beloved by America’s Ruling Class, Finally Dies and Jacobin magazine’s stinging indictment, The Verdict on Henry Kissinger.   These have provided an important counterbalance to the outpouring of love and support by the mainstream, capitalist press.

One of Kissinger’s major crimes – strangely left out of the Daily Mail Australia’s revolting obituary – is his support for the brutal coup d’état against Salvador Allende’s socialist government in Chile 50 years ago. We link below the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research’s dossier from September this year on the 1973 coup against Chile.
