Proposed edit about Religion, being Jewish, and his role in One World Government
I am asking for assistance in editing the article to reflect four important topics, each tied to the other:
- Kissinger's attitude to religion,
- the effect of him being of Jewish nationality and faith on actual politics,
- and his undoubtful One World government advocacy.
- the conspiracy theories around Kissinger and those who claim them.
Should this be put in one or more sections? How can it be written concisely?
Kissinger has been perceived as a Jew and advocate of one world government although denying both. (As a child I was told that he had converted to Christianity in order to marry Nancy, there is no trace of evidence about this anywhere).
- Source: Vainty Fair article saying that from reading the meeting transcripts, Nixon would regularly taunt Kissinger for being a Jew, and Kissinger would regularly respond with compliance.
- Source: Henry Kissinger, the American Dream, and the Jewish Immigrant Experience in the Cold War
Born to a Jewish family, Kissinger declared the fact was insignificant.
During the 1973 Yom Kippur War when signs were clear that an attack by Egypt and Syria against Israel was imminent, the Israeli's expected the assistance of Kissinger as a fellow Jew, especially ambassador Yitzhak Rabin. To this day Kissinger is perceived as bringing the Yom Kippur war to an end, either by facilitating the cease-fire agreements as Richard Falk writes in On (not) loving Henry Kissinger, or in helping the Israeli army receive the air convoy with armaments, the military supply, and the replenishing of the Israeli Air-Force war-planes. In any case, it is now clear that he took a large part in preventing Israel from doing a preemptive attack. There were Israeli sources that saw Kissinger as dangerously toying with Israel and willing to sacrifice it for American interests.
- Sources:
- Opinion: On not loving Henry Kissinger on Richard Falk's blog
- Ynet article on transcripts of Kissinger-Nixon meetings preventing Israel from issuing a preemptive attack.
- Ynet article Kissinger's phone call transcripts in the period leading to and following the Yom Kippur war.
- Book: The Secret Conversations of Henri Kissinger, Mati Golan. The book claims that in a meeting between Rabin and Nixon, Nixon was surprised the US had not given Israel the F4 Phantom planes they requested and asked Kissinger why they were being delayed.
Kissinger's attitude towards Soviet Jewry was similar.
On the issue of one world government advocacy by Jews: Like Kissinger, Richard Falk distances himself from being Jewish in any way, denouncing his religion, and claiming he has officially defined his religion as agnostic. Like Kissinger, as written in Kissinger's book World Order, Richard Falk is all for a One World government. But Falk claims that Kissinger, if not a war criminal, is a very bad military and foreign advisor. Falk brings Berny Sanders distancing himself from Kissinger as an example of the right way to go.
What the three (Sanders, Kissinger, Falk) don't realize, or at least do not publicly acknowledge, is that all three are depicted by antisemites as the typical behavior of Jewish disaffiliation to their countries and their governments, having an unrealistic interest supposedly in the people of the world, but meanwhile causing destruction. A simple search on the web for "kissinger bilderberg" will bring tons of sources that cannot be brought as reliable on WP, but prove that Kissinger is what Rational Wiki call "a conspiracy theorist's wet dream" for "international Jewish conspiracy, New World Order, and Illuminati theories".
- Source: Rational Wiki on Kissinger
I think it's important also to incorporate in some way in this WP article, the reciprocal distancing of Kissinger from Jewish affiliation, while Jewish groups and individuals distance themselves from Kissinger.
Interestingly, already back in the 1800's there were Jewish rabbis trying to dispose of antisemitic claims against converts or Jews who did not wish to affiliate themselves with the Jewish communities, claiming that if these people were not loyal to their own faith, how could they be expected to be loyal to another faith? In their eyes (and these arguments are found in orthodox Jewish writings today as well) it is not the fact that they are Jewish and doing some type of misconduct, fraud or being unloyal to one side, especially in times of war, but the fact that they were born Jewish and "left the fold". If they had been religion abiding Jews, they could be totally trusted. I'll have to search the Early Hebrew Press section on the Israeli National Library website to find the case (in Paris) where the chief rabbi responded in this manner. The same exact response to antisemitism by distancing themselves from the "other" Jews was adopted by the "intellectual" Jews. Both sides don't realize that they are in fact adopting a type of antisemitism themselves. "Perhaps it is correct, it's just not us". Actually, in Kissinger's case, as shown in the Tablet Mag's article, (quoting him: "If I wouldn't be born to a Jewish family I'de probably be an anti-semite") he may very well be aware of it.

Awards, etc.
This section reports, "In 1973, Kissinger received the U.S. Senator John Heinz Award...." Heinz didn't become a senator until '77, and the award wasn't established until '93, after his death. PurpleChez (talk) 13:32, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
- The linked citation indeed reports that Kissinger received this award in 1973... I suspect it had a different name at that time and was renamed after the senator in '93. PurpleChez (talk) 13:35, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
- You may be thinking of the Heinz Awards, given annually by the Heinz Family Foundation. Kissinger won what was back then just called a Jefferson Award, given by the American Institute for Public Service.---- Work permit (talk) 20:46, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
Henry Kissinger's Origins Corrections + Introspection of Wikipedia's Etiquette/s
I apologize, for bringing this up, but for the overwhelming simplicity, and confusingly insensible, or mainly empirically unjust revocation of information edited into the Kissinger page, which lacks need for any source, due to the information being factual, and in agreement with Wikipedia's stated information, that Henry Kissinger, though from a Jewish family, who spent most of his life in the united states, was still born in Germany, and thereby definition, is in fact a German-American. Kissinger was born in the Wiemar Republic("Wiemar/German Empire"), which was Germany's political country of democracy, following world war I, from 1918-1933, until Hitler's takeover. By definition, wherever a person is born, as well as wherever their parents were born(his parents were born in Leutershausen, which is in Germany), is what distinguishes their nationality(if his parents were born in Poland, or say even Jerusalem, and he was born in Germany, he could be considered a Jewish-German American, but however this is not the case). Their sur-nationality(just made that word up[meaning: second, meta, or sub nationality. I derived it from the word: surname]) is defined by whatever country they pledge their allegiance to, by becoming a citizen of that sovereign power. So although his heritage is Jewish, due to the fact his parents were also born in Germany, he is simply a German-American, and therefore, should be listed as so. This not only expresses the multicultural plane that America is, but it also neglects important information. this could be the difference weather or not a person chooses to research him, perhaps, as an example, for interest in what a foreigner was able to due for another country, or perhaps the empowerment of another German-American individual. Most importantly though, it is the truth, and correct information. I can see Wikipedia growing, and have watched it evolve throughout my life. I can see a future where almost ever word is link, and this site sits as a super center, and database for all Knowledge. Wikipedia could start handing out degrees, based on sufficient testing(almost like a mill-diploma, but if that were to be made entirely respectable). I have the utmost fervent respect for Wikipedia, and it's moderators. Every time that I post something, I am always thinking whether or not the information that I am adding is correlative, respectable, true, able to be sourced, etc. (and sometimes I wonder who the moderator that reviews it is).
I appreciate the time, I meant this with all due respect, and to fixed knowledge, that comes from one of the most intricate encyclopedias that exist today. Thank you for the time - Ferventtboundz — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ferventtboundz (talk • contribs) 04:36, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- With all due respect, the definition you submit for nationality is incorrect, however well meaning. Your nationality has to do with your citizenship rather than your place of birth, parentage, nationality of birth etc. This is confirmed by going to any embassy website or likewise government entity for any nation (for example, see here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/Advice-about-Possible-Loss-of-US-Nationality-Dual-Nationality/Dual-Nationality.html). Therefore, for example, someone maybe born a certain nationality, but then at some point may lose or abdicate that nationality and adopt a new one. They would not remain that prior nationality (because legally, they have given it up), and would simply be the new nationality. Some people are born multiple nationalities, such as someone who has birthright citizenship for multiple nations. Some people are born stateless and only later actually obtain a nationality. Therefore, Kissinger's birth in Germany does not make him appropriately labeled "German-American" necessarily. The question is (1) whether he is a dual national and even after this, (2) whether his ethnicity and/or prior nationality/place of birth warrants inclusion in the lead. This leads to the second point, which is that Wikipedia specifies guidelines on what to include in the lead of biographies (as stated in WP:Ethnicity). This states, verbatim, "The opening paragraph should usually provide context for the activities that made the person notable. In most modern-day cases this will be the country of which the person is a citizen, national or permanent resident, or if the person is notable mainly for past events, the country where the person was a citizen, national or permanent resident when the person became notable. Ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless it is relevant to the subject's notability. Similarly, previous nationalities or the place of birth should not be mentioned in the lead unless they are relevant to the subject's notability." Kissinger's notability occurred entirely in the USA as a U.S. citizen and American politician. Therefore, the lead should refer to him as "American" rather than anything else. Anyway, we do discuss his birth and ethnicity as well as Jewish identity literally the next line down, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Why do we have to qualify his American-ness by adding a term before it and hyphenating it? Apoorva Iyer (talk) 10:13, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Army Experience Section - Unnecessary and potentially manipulative penultimate sentence
"Although he possessed absolute authority and powers of arrest, Kissinger took care to avoid abuses against the local population by his command.[20]"
This is currently the penultimate sentence of the Army experience section. I do not have access to the specific page listed in the biography as the source to verify whats being specifically cited or paraphrased, but the sentence does not involve a direct quote and the statement seems almost impossible to verify. If the passage I am missing does include verified examples of Kissinger taking some action to avoid specific abuses I think that potentially merits inclusion here, but the current language seems intentionally vague and does not mention atrocities he prevented, what types of atrocities those would be, and doesn't try to. This sentence seems to only exist as some sort of character defense or to influence proven accounts of later war crimes and abuses of Henry Kissinger. Only in the Henry Kissinger article would the absence of abuses against local foreign civilian populations be somehow considered worth inclusion. In an article thats already so justifiably long and brimmed with actual accounts of events, decisions, etc. I don't see the need for this specific sentence and I would like for it to be deleted or at the very least updated to include actual facts and not just potentially biased character defense.
I just made an account and this is my first time doing anything like this so please forgive me if my formatting is wrong and please advise and help rather than chastise if I have in fact erred. This sentence bothered me so much when I was reading it, and does occupy a somewhat prominent place in the article as the last sentence of the main body of one of the earliest sections of a long and important page with present day and historical implications. Let me know what you think and if you can help fix this, especially if you have direct access to the actual passage cited as the source (page 50 of Isaacson, Walter (1992). Kissinger: A Biography. Simon & Schuster. ISBN 978-0-671-66323-0). Thanks and sorry again if my formatting is all wrong, I only want to help make this page better.

7th or 8th National Security Advisor
@Zelkia1101: The Wikipedia article for Walter Rostow says he was the 7th National Security Advisor and was succeeded by Henry Kissinger. That would make Kissinger the 8th.
I followed the links back and found that Robert Cutler was officially listed as both the 1st and the 4th. If Kissinger were the 7th, everyone between Cutler as the 4th National Security Advisor and Kissinger would also have to be changed, but that would make it even more confusing, I think.
Similarly, Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd and the 24th President of the US. If we follow that precedent for Kissinger, that makes him the 8th.
Accordingly, I'm reverting the change to the 7th. DavidMCEddy (talk) 12:27, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
Should mention that he was influencing US foriegn policy until Dec 2020
A defense official said: “As part of long-considered changes, several members of the Department’s Defense Policy Board have been removed.” The official provided no other details.
In total, 10 of the 13 board members have left, including Democrats and Republicans. The most significant board member purged was former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, considered by critics to be the architect of the appeasement policies toward China that dominated successive Republican and Democratic administrations for decades until the Trump administration.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/dec/2/henry-kissinger-9-others-leave-defense-policy-boar/
Currently the article reads as if he was a historical figure from 50 years ago, not a member of the US defense policy board until last month.
https://policy.defense.gov/OUSDP-Offices/Defense-Policy-Board/
Also he was nominated by George W Bush to run the 9/11 enquiry until all the families of the victims objected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.152.57.9 (talk) 01:26, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

@Nobu2021: Thanks for your addition of "Kissinger was conferred the Philippine Order of the Knights of Rizal", except that it needs a citation.
I'm reverting it, because it does not have a citation, neither here nor in the Wikipedia article on the Order of the Knights of Rizal. It should have a citation in both places. Currently, I don't find one in either.

Economist advert
Strangely, in 1996 Kissinger was appeared in an award winning TV advert for the Economist with English actor Ray Burnside. In the 30-second spot, a businessman settles into his first-class seat on a transatlantic flight. He sits back in horror as Kissinger, renowned for his towering intellect, settles down next to him and panics at the thought of trying to hold his own in conversation.

Henry Kissinger as a Harvard professor
Although the article mentions that Kissinger was on the Harvard faculty for almost two decades, there is no mention of Kissinger being on anyone's doctoral committee. This would be extremely strange event for anyone being on the Harvard faculty. If Kissinger did supervised doctoral students, who were they? Did those former students become influential faculty members at Harvard and at other university? Did some of those former student became world leaders? Or was he such a bad instructor, that he was unable to leave an academic legacy after leaving academia? -- 50.231.49.42 (talk) 00:49, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
KCMG
Kissinger's family departed Germany for London on August 20, 1938, stayed with relatives, and departed England for New York on August 30. Since he was never a Commonwealth citizen or settled resident, the postnominal should not appear in the lead or the infobox.

Tiananmen Square protests or massacre?
@MChinaGA: On 2022-07-15T04:02:35 User:MChinaGA changed "June 4, 1989, Tiananmen Square massacre" to "June 4, 1989, Tiananmen Square massacre". The Wikipedia article is titled, "June 4, 1989, Tiananmen Square massacre. The infobox in this Wikipedia article says the events occurred 15 April 1989 – 4 June 1989: 50 days = just over 7 weeks. During that period, the events were nonviolent. On 5 June 1989 the Chinese military blocked exits from Tiananmen square, and many people were killed. The infobox ends with, "Death(s): No precise figures exist, estimates vary from hundreds to several thousands, both military and civilians". That infobox links to a section on "Death toll". It has been official Chinese government policy to suppress honest evaluation of those events. This section concluded, "whether the fully equipped army of troops massacred peaceful, ordinary folks inside or outside the square make very little difference."
Therefore, I'm reverting the change of "June 4, 1989, Tiananmen Square massacre" to "June 4, 1989, Tiananmen Square protests" back to "massacre", because by June 4 the Chinese government had changed it from protests to massacre. DavidMCEddy (talk) 07:28, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

2023 surprise visit to China
In July 2023, at the age of 100, Kissinger made a surprise diplomatic visit to China [1]: "According to a readout on Tuesday from the Chinese defence ministry, Li Shangfu said “friendly communication” between China and the US had been "destroyed" because "some people in the United States did not meet China halfway". ... Kissinger said he was a friend of China, according to the readout. "Neither the United States nor China can afford to treat the other as an adversary. If the two countries go to war, it will not lead to any meaningful results for the two peoples,” the Chinese statement reported Kissinger as saying.
