I can't help but wonder what has come over Henry Kissinger. He seems to have found religion. As he grows older, does he want to make amends before it's too late? Robert Parry reports this amazing change of heart:
The American public is faced with an information crisis as the New York Times and other mainstream U.S. media outlets have become little more than propaganda organs on behalf of the neoconservative agenda and particularly the rush into a new Cold War with Russia – so much so that even ex-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has broken ranks.
Parry discusses some of the more egregious examples of biased, distorted journalism of US and UK media in the first part of his article; it is important to read to discern the many ways we have been misled.
MSM articles consistently reek of bias – and in some cases make little sense. For instance, Times correspondent David M. Herszenhorn, one of the leading propagandists, wrote an alarmist story on Wednesday about a new Russian “invasion” of Ukraine but curiously he had the alleged Russian tank column heading east toward the Ukrainian city of Donetsk which would be back toward Russia, not westward into Ukraine.
And, as Michael Bociurkiw, observer/inspecter with "The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) stated, " the convoys seemed to be heading east toward Donetsk."
Kissinger is below the golden angel wings ---
...one of the few prominent Westerners who has dared question the prevailing wisdom on Ukraine is former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger who said, in an interview with the German newsmagazine Der Spiegel, that the West was exaggerating the significance of the Crimean annexation given the peninsula’s long historic ties to Russia.“The annexation..snip..was no bid for world domination
..snip..It is not to be compared with Hitler’s invasion in Czechoslovakia” – as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others have done.
...snip...
Vladimir Putin had no intention of instigating a crisis in Ukraine: “Putin had [spent] tens of billions of dollars for the Olympic Winter Games … in Sochi. Russia wanted to present [itself] as a progressive nation. … It does not make sense that Putin, a week later, [launches] the Crimea attacks and a war for Ukraine begins.”
Instead Kissinger argued that the West – with its strategy of pulling Ukraine into the orbit of the European Union – was responsible for the crisis by failing to understand Russian sensitivity over Ukraine and making the “fatal” mistake of quickly pushing the confrontation beyond dialogue.
...Kissinger also faulted Putin for his reaction to the crisis...snip..Still,...“a new edition of the Cold War would be a tragedy. … We must keep in view, that we need Russia to solve other crises, such as the nuclear conflict with Iran or Syria’s civil war.”
When Henry Kissinger starts to sound like the voice of reason, it says a lot about how crazy the New York Times and the rest of the MSM have become.

Kissinger Makes Sense
I agree with Robert Parry's assessment here and also with Henry Kissinger. We don't need another Cold War. We don't need another Hot War. We need to try to find a way to live together. Russia had been trying for considerable time to present itself as a new, cooperating nation. It had been trying in recent years, to act as a responsible friend, partner, and neighbor in many different ways. And then came the Neocons again, pushing their One World Domination agenda. We could have, we should have, even cautiously, tried to meet them halfway. Can we try again? Is it too late?
As I've said so many times now, we have evolved our weapons to a point where we can annihilate the planet. We need to evolve our consciousness and our ways of being together on this small round orb.
WE HAVE CREATED DEATH WRIT LARGE ACROSS THE PLANET

Evolution or Extinction
