"Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government.” - Dr. Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France, 1991

Accused of crimes against humanity, Henry Kissinger, former United States Secretary of State under Richard Nixon, and advisor to presidents and authoritarian governments around the world, will give a book talk at 92 Street Y on Tuesday, May 31, but not without protest by human rights defenders.

“We are outraged that the 92 Street Y will host a war criminal,” said rights defender Stephanie Rugoff, Coordinator of War Criminals Watch that is organizing the protest.

“During his tenure, millions of civilians were killed in Viet Nam, Cambodia and Laos, in a war widely seen as illegitimate. Kissinger was responsible for crimes against humanity in Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Chile and other countries as well.

"In East Timor one third of the population, over 180,000 people, were killed when Henry Kissinger and President Ford planned, supported and sponsored an attack by Indonesia,” said Rugoff.

Noted as a "Globalist Kingpin," Kissinger supported the apartheid regime in South Africa according to War Crimes Watch.

He also organized support for Jonas Savimbi and the bloody civil war in Angola.

The man advising President Obama has also stated what might have special meaning to people in oppressed countries and the Gulf of Mexico region now suffering reproductive health issues, suffering an dying without government health aid:

"Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy towards the third world, because the US economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries.”

The reputed eugenist Kissinger is noted for saying that the "elderly are useless eaters," one of the best known depopulation quotes by famous people.

Human rights and peace activists will protest Kissinger's lecture Tuesday, May 31, 2011 at 6:30pm at 92 Street Y,           1395 Lexington Avenue, New York City.

War Criminals Watch was founded to ensure prosecutions of high officials of the Bush administration and subsequent administrations guilty of "high crimes and misdemeanors."

The organization believes that "key officials must be held accountable and prosecuted for the crimes they stand accused, in world public opinion, of having committed."

While editorialists may demand action, and even some politicians may call for it, War Criminals Watch believes only an energized and politically active public can make those prosecutions happen.

"War criminals must be publicly shamed and prevented from occupying powerful or influential positions within our society," it states.

"As in other cases where authorities have gone beyond US and international law as well as the laws of decency, only a public accounting will restore lawful conduct."
