The difference between how this officer speaks to the cyclist, versus how he speaks to the driver is unacceptable.

The USA has never supported peace justice or democracy in the world. They lied, killed and tortured to advance their unrelenting unregulated capitalist agenda with a token fig leaf of rhetoric to cover their shame. The truth is out. We must never again follow their lead on foreign policy.

Time to replace the so-called Peace Prize with a Nonviolence Prize - only those who demonstrate commitment to nonviolence can win.

No more war-mongers being given peace prizes.

Few prizes have captured the disgusting hypocrisy of power like this one.

The man who helped unleash mass death and dictatorship was honoured for peace.

And the world learned a grim truth: sometimes the worst crimes come dressed in diplomacy.

By the time Kissinger collected his “Peace Prize”, he had:
• Bombed Cambodia in secret
• Helped prolong the Vietnam War
• Backed genocide in Bangladesh
• Undermined democracy in Chile

Two Nobel committee members resigned in protest. Kissinger’s co-laureate, Lê Đức Thọ, refused the prize altogether.

Three years later, Allende was dead, Chile’s democracy was crushed, and Pinochet’s brutal dictatorship began.

Tens of thousands were tortured, disappeared, executed.

Kissinger said “I don’t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people.”

Then came Chile.

When Chileans elected the socialist Salvador Allende in 1970, Kissinger approved a plan to destabilise the country and “make the economy scream”.

The goal: pave the way for a military coup.

One US cable called it “selective genocide”. Kissinger dismissed the reports as “bleeding hearts.”

When India intervened to stop the slaughter, he and Nixon condemned India. All because they wanted to protect their Cold War alliance with Pakistan.

Then came Bangladesh.

In 1971, Pakistan’s military carried out a genocidal campaign against the Bengali independence movement, massacring up to 3 million people and driving 10 million refugees into India.

US diplomats on the ground begged Washington to act. Kissinger and Nixon backed the killers.

Kissinger helped prolong the Vietnam War for political gain.

In 1968, while peace talks were underway, he secretly leaked details to Nixon’s campaign - helping sabotage the talks to boost Nixon’s election chances.

The war dragged on for years. Hundreds of thousands more died.

As Nixon’s National Security Adviser, Kissinger orchestrated secret US carpet bombing of Cambodia.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed. Entire villages wiped off the map - without the American public even being told the war had spread there.

The Nobel Peace Prize was won by one of the worst war criminals of the 20th century.

The year was 1973.

His name was Henry Kissinger.

This is his thread of shame.

They are all busy talking about small boats and flags, ignoring the real and present danger we face from climate collapse. Or perhaps deliberately distracting us? Which people are busy waving flags and painting them on mini roundabouts the fossil fuel oligarchs rake in the profits.
