Rip my annual tradition of realizing he's still alive and visibly blanching.

Nice.

I hope his afterlife (yeah I know) is exactly what he deserves based on his actions in his physical life.

Oh shit really?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

He served as America's top diplomat and national security adviser during the Nixon and Ford administrations.

In a statement, Kissinger Associates, a political consulting firm he founded, said the German-born former diplomat died at his home in Connecticut.

During his decades long career, Mr Kissinger played a key, and sometimes controversial, role in US foreign and security policy.

After earning bachelor's, master's, and PhD degrees, he taught international relations at Harvard.

In 1969, then-President Richard Nixon appointed him National Security Adviser, a position which gave him enormous influence over US foreign policy in two administrations.
