Kissinger was the high priest of imperialism and neocolonialism, animated by an
instinctive hatred for Indira Gandhi, Aldo Moro, Ali Bhutto, and other nationalist world
leaders. Kissinger's British geopolitics simply accentuated Bush's own fanatically
Anglophile point of view which he had acquired from father Prescott and imbibed from
the atmosphere of the family firm, Brown Brothers Harriman, originally the US branch of
a British counting house.
Kissinger was also dedicated to economic, diplomatic, and military support of Israeli
aggression and expansionism to keep the Middle East in turmoil so as to prevent Arab
unity and Arab economic development while using the region to mount challenges to the
Soviets. Kissinger's soul-mates were figures like Gen. Ariel Sharon, the harbinger of
endless wars in the Middle East. In this he was a follower of British Prime Minister
Benjamin Disraeli and Lord Balfour. In the 1973 Middle East war which he had connived
to unleash, Kissinger would mastermind the US resupply of Israel and would declare a
US-world wide thermonuclear alert. In later years Kissinger would enrich himself
through speculative real estate purchases on the West bank of the Jordan, buying up land
and buildings that had been virtually confiscated from defenseless Palestinian Arabs.
Kissinger was also pro-Soviet in a sense that went far beyond his sponsorship of the
1970's detente, SALT I, and the ABM treaty with Moscow. Polish KGB agent Michael
Goleniewski is widely reported to have told the British government in 1972 that he had
seen KGB documents in Poland before his 1959 defection which established that
Kissinger was a Soviet asset. According to Goleniewski, Kissinger had been recruited by
the Soviets during his Army service in Germany after the end of World War II, when he
had worked as a humble chauffeur. Kissinger had allegedly been recruited to an
espionage cell called ODRA, where he received the code name of "BOR" or "COLONEL
BOR." Some versions of this story also specify that this cell had been largely composed
of homosexuals, and that homosexuality had been an important part of the way that
Kissinger had been picked up by the KGB. These reports were reportedly partly
supported by Golitsyn, another Soviet defector. The late James Jesus Angleton, the CIA
counter-intelligence director for twenty years up to 1973 was said to have been the US
official who was handed Goleniewski's report by the British. Angleton later talked a lot
about Kissinger being "objectively a Soviet agent," but that was a throw-away line by
that time. It has not been established that Angleton ever ordered an active investigation of
Kissinger or ever assigned his case a codename.
Kissinger's Chinese side was very much in evidence during 1971-73 and beyond; during
these years he was obsessed with anything remotely connected with China and sought to
monopolize decisions and contacts with the highest levels of the Chinese leadership. This
attitude was dictated most of all by the British mentality and geopolitical considerations
indicated above, but it is also unquestionable that Kissinger felt a strong personal affinity
for Chou En-Lai, Mao tse-tung, and their group of Chinese leaders, who had been
responsible for the genocide of 100,000,000 million of their own people after 1949.
Kissinger possessed other dimensions in addition to these, including close links to the
Meyer Lansky underworld. These will also loom large in George Bush's career.
