Home Home Video Theatrical catalog available soon Home Theatrical Kissinger The Trials of Henry Kissinger Synopsis Is Henry Kissinger - Nobel Laureate and the most famous diplomat of his generation - also a war criminal? Provoked by the Christopher Hitchens book, filmmakers Jarecki and Gibney have constructed a movie which is both brilliant legal brief and chilling psychodrama. Some of Kissinger's most ardent supporters (Alexander Haig, Brent Scowcroft, William Safire) vie with his detractors (writers Seymour Hersh, William Shawcross, Hitchens himself). Charges that Kissinger was instrumental in creating the coup that toppled Chilean President Allende, that he undermined LBJ's Vietnam peace talks (prolonging the war by seven years), engineered the secret bombing of Cambodia, and approved Indonesian president Suharto's use of U.S. arms to massacre 100,000 East Timorese have resulted in summonses by five nations seeking to depose him. The film plumbs the depth of one man's soul, as it questions tenets of international law: do war criminals reside only in nations whose interests are inimical to our own or are we our own worst enemy? info@firstrunfeatures.com

Henry Kissinger once said that "90% of politicians give the other 10% a bad reputation". Throughout his career, this German Jewish emigré who began his working life in a shaving brush factory in New York, rose to become a Harvard professor and then assumed control of America's foreign policy under Presidents Nixon and Ford, has bitterly divided opinion over which of these two percentage categories he belongs to. He had a hold over President Nixon Kissinger became Richard Nixon's national security adviser in 1969. It was testament to his mastery of political in-fighting and his increasing hold over the president that, in all but the final year of the Nixon presidency, he ran foreign policy over the head of the Secretary of State, William Rogers. By this policy, say his supporters, he made the world a safer place. He was the man who effected détente with the Soviet Union. He opened up the way to Nixon's visit to China. He negated the Communist threat in America's back yard, most notably in Chile.

26. Tearing Down The Myth Of Nobel Prize Peace Winner Dr. Henry Kissinger Tearing Down the Myth of nobel Prize Peace Winner Dr. henry kissinger. Nipawin Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - by Mario deSantis. our own truth. http://ensign.ftlcomm.com/desantisArticles/2001_400/desantis490/kissinger.html

Tearing Down the Myth of Nobel Prize Peace Winner Dr. Henry Kissinger Nipawin - Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - by: Mario deSantis our own truth I was never interested in writing political or economic essays, and if today I write articles it is because of my intrinsic needs to understand the world we live in. In my writing, I have been discovering my truth and at the beginning I could never have believed to find out the breaking of many myths such as the patriotism of former Saskatchewan Premier Roy Romanow, the integrity of Prime Minister Jean Chretien, the democratic election of President George Bush, the wealth of a nation because of the stock market, and so forth. The message is that we have to find our own truth and this message has become more urgent as we are unconsciously brainwashed by our corporate media and abused by the big corporations and their appointed governments. Chile I find the sources of my writing mostly on the Internet and hyperlinking from one web page to the next, and as I write a new article another one springs up as a consequence. Some time ago we uncovered the fallacy of our neoclassical economists in spreading the gospel of the Free Market and we pointed out how Nobel Prize Winner Milton Friedman successfully experimented his Free Market policies in Chile while this country was run over by Dictator General Augusto Pinochet. criminal Referring to the take over of Chile by General Pinochet I find today that Dr. Henry Kissinger is being accused of being a criminal who should be brought to justice. Here we have composed Dr. Henry Kissinger selling his grave, slow and stuttering voice to audiences around the world and to the big media corporations and now we find out that not only he is a fraud but he is an un-apprehended criminal as well. Isn't this a profound truth?

About - Contact Send an email message Entertaining AND Informative - AnShell Media LLC THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE, THEODORE ROOSEVELT, AND HENRY KISSINGER By Sheldon Drobny As part of my analysis of history according to Charles Drobny, my father, here is his view of 20th century American leaders. My father's first experience with political leaders was Teddy Roosevelt. As a child, I was taught in my history class all the positive things about TR. His "Rough Riders" military heroism in the Spanish American War and his bold and progressive presidency were the major subjects taught to us in U.S. history class. However, one of his major life achievements was his award of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1906 for his part in the peace process ending the Russo-Japanese War. Not many Americans even are aware that there was a war between Czarist Russia and Japan in the early 20th century. It is something that I was not taught in my history class, nor do I suspect it is being taught seriously today in primary and secondary schools. I will attempt to tell you why, and to reveal why TR was no more deserving of winning the Peace Prize than Henry Kissinger, who won the prize for his role in ending the Viet Nam War. My father was very selective about which 20th century American leaders he respected. The only ones he really thought highly of were: Franklin Roosevelt, Senator Albert Gore Sr., Senator Wayne Morse, and Senator William Fulbright. He may have liked some others, but these are the leaders he repeatedly mentioned as being truly courageous. Obviously, by the process of elimination, TR was not one of Dad's favorites. Why? Because he believed that TR was the first American imperial president, a man who advocated an American empire and who set the tone for the kind of foreign policy now causing most of the world to hate us to this day.

home key issues history resources ... contact us Henry Alfred Kissinger Henry Alfred Kissinger was born on 27 May, 1923 in Fuerth, Germany. His parents brought him to the United States in 1938 and five years later he became a citizen. He earned a Bachelor's degree in 1950 from Harvard College graduating summa cum laude. He received a Master's degree in 1952 and a Doctorate in 1954 from Harvard University. Kissinger became involved in US foreign policy during the 1950s and 60s when he served occasionally as a policy advisor to Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. From 1955 to 1956, Kissinger held the position of Study Director, Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy, for the Council of Foreign Relations. In 1957, Kissinger wrote his first book, Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy. In this book, Kissinger emphasizes the need for flexibility in military policy, in particular, the need for options other than "mutually assured destruction." Kissinger acted as a consultant to the United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency from 1961 to 1968. He was appointed assistant to President Richard M. Nixon in National Security Affairs in 1969, the year in which Kissinger's prominence in shaping US nuclear weapons policy was most significant. He assisted in the initiation of the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) with the USSR that took place from November 1969 to January 1972. Not only was this series of negotiations important to the improvement of US-USSR relations, it also produced two agreements vital to nuclear arms reduction-the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (ABM) and the Interim Agreement on Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, which were both signed on 26 May1972.

During World War II, he served in Army intelligence. After the war, he began a sterling academic career in political science at Harvard University, receiving his B.A. (1950) and Ph.D (1954), teaching in the government department (1957-1971), and directing the university's Defense Studies Program (1958-1969). In a series of influential books, Kissinger advocated a hard-nosed, realpolitik approach to cold war diplomacy, beginning with Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy Kissinger served in foreign policy advisory positions for the Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson administrations, but his greatest influence came under Nixon and Ford. As Nixon's top national security adviser, he guided Vietnam policy through the "Vietnamization" campaign, the invasions of Cambodia and Laos, and the negotiations with North Vietnam which led to the 1973 cease-fire and American withdrawal. Kissinger shared the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in those negotiations, a highly controversial award considering his aggressive stance through most of the war. Kissinger also promoted the policy of detente with China and the Soviet Union which led to Nixon's historic visits there in 1972. Nixon made Kissinger his Secretary of State in 1973, a position he maintained through the Ford Administration. Since 1976, he has continued writing and consulting on foreign policy issues.

So the East-Asia region also got involved in the campaign to bring former US Secretary to the international tribunal. As it turns out, when Russia’s senior governmental officials were welcoming Kissinger, the trouble was brewing for him in the USA and Europe. This trouble is so thick now that Kissinger would not risk to show up in any country of the West. Christopher Hitchens – an Englishman living in the US, a columnist of the leftist-liberal newspaper The Nation has recently released a book entitled “The Case Against Henry Kissinger”. The book became a bestseller at once and the campaign took another scale. It does not go about the speculation – the readers can find the proofs of the that in the following quotations: Feed (USA): In a series of essays in Harper's entitled "The Case Against Henry Kissinger," he argues that the national security adviser and secretary of state under Nixon and Ford ought to be prosecuted for war crimes for his role in assassinations, occupations, and executions in Indochina, Chile, Bangladesh, East Timor, and Cyprus. ..In the course of a recent conversation on these essays and his upcoming book on the same subject, Hitchens described Kissinger as "a murderer, a liar, a pseudo-intellectual, a thief of government property, and a profiteer from said theft."

Dec, 13 2002 In Russian Em Portugues Russia World ... About Pravda.RU:Top Stories:More in detail Kissinger’s Appointment Is Just Another Mistake It seems that appointment of Henry Kissinger is just another failure of President Bush, something like his slip of the tongue when he confused inflation and deflation, or when he choked with a cracker. Hardly had the community got used to Kissinger’s return to the “large-scale politics”, to the post of chairman of the commission investigating US intelligence failures before September 11, as a film “The Trials of Henry Kissinger” inspired by the book “The Trial of Henry Kissinger” by Christopher Hitchens was demonstrated all over America. Christopher Hitchens demanded that this eminent Republican, who headed the US State Department under Nixon and Ford, and even was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973, must be prosecuted by the international tribunal. This is to be a trial similar to the Nurnberg Military Tribunal, which Kissinger must stand as a war criminal guilty of the death of millions of people from Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Timor, Bangladesh, Cyprus, Chile, America. Authors of the film, producer Eugene Jarecki and script writer Alex Gibney forced Kissinger and his partners “to play the roles of themselves.” Following the outline of Hitchens’ journalist investigation, they built the documentary’s plot on collection of documentary and photo evidences of guilt of former US secretary of state. The film makers pronounce the same sentence that Hitchens does: “Guilty!” They just slightly changed the title and gave the word “trial” in plural. Obviously, George W. Bush repeated his mistake when he appointed Henry Kissinger chairman of the commission investigating faults of the US intelligence before the 9/11 tragedy.

Crusading Spanish judge Balthazar Garzon requested early this week that Interpol interrogate Mr Kissinger in relation to US involvement in brutal South American regimes. A French judge investigating the deaths of five people in Chile made a similar request on Thursday. Mr Kissinger, 78, was US Secretary of State from 1973 to 1977. At the time of his government service he was much lauded and received the Nobel peace prize in 1973 for his role in ending the Vietnam War. Disturbing Recently declassified documents, however, have shown that the CIA – and by implication, Mr Kissinger – were aware of a disturbing conspiracy between South American military regimes against dissidents and political opponents. The conspiracy, code-named Operation Condor, involved an agreement whereby the regimes helped each other with political suppression. Thousands were tortured, killed, and imprisoned as a result. The countries involved used US communications equipment in Panama to facilitate the plan.

Press Review Archive Thursday, 28 November, 2002 Kissinger dusted off by Reinout van Wagtendonk, 28 November 2002 The young Henry Kissinger Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has been appointed to lead an investigation into the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. The appointment is controversial; although Mr Kissinger received the 1973 Nobel peace prize, he is vilified by many for his role in bloody American foreign policy in the 70s. At first, US President George Bush wanted only Congress to scrutinize September 11 and possible security lapses leading up to the attacks. The president argued anything other than a Congressional investigation could lead to national security secrets leaking. At least as important an argument, but never explicitly stated, was that the White House could control a Congressional commission; Republicans would be able to limit lines of inquiry which might embarrass their president. But relatives of the more than 3000 people killed in the attacks on New York and Washington demanded an independent investigation. Does the president have something to hide, they wondered in the face of his resistance. Missed clues Congressional committees have already uncovered scores of missed clues and blunders by US intelligence services. To counter the impression that he is afraid to get to the bottom of September 11, Mr Bush named 79-year-old Henry Kissinger to lead an
