To the Editor:
In a classic case of deception by omission, your recent obituary on Nancy Kissinger significantly misrepresented her physical assault on a Lyndon LaRouche organizer in 1982. As a proud, longstanding LaRouche associate, I would like to set the record straight.
First, Ms. Kissinger wasn’t merely “accused of” choking a small female leafleter who posed zero physical threat to her or her husband. She did it, period. Nobody disputes that.
More importantly, the nature of the exchange was distorted beyond recognition. The LaRouche representative asked Henry Kissinger two questions: One, was he guilty of genocide in Vietnam? Two, did he engage in what we now call Epstein-like behavior in New York? Very tellingly, the initial query, concerning mass murder, elicited no reaction whatsoever, whereas the follow-up produced the enraged response cited above.
We should have learned from the Epstein fallout that there is a direct connection between private and public immorality. The very leaders (Democrat and Republican alike) cavorting on Epstein’s island were the same folks who de-industrialized America, imposed the surveillance state, and plunged us into endless wars based on lies.
