...please hold all Darth Vader jokes for at least 5 minutes...
I won't gloat at his death, instead I'll use it to point out his legacy which was fucking awful. You want to know the genesis of a LOT of neocons, this fucker right here.
Want a great example of corporate interests dictating US military policy, this guy. Even got his daughter to follow his path only fortunately to get wrecked by Trump.
There's a reason the Darth Cheney meme came into existence.
He was a very nasty person who became extremely corrupt and cost the lives of millions of innocent people (including both our own soldiers and the Iraqi people). He was most certainly involved with the Rothschilds in Europe and basically was the 'dark force' behind the Bush administration (early 2000's), and part of the PNAC group. He was booed as he was wheeled out of the White House in a wheelchair. He was told to 'Go Fuck Himself' by a resident of Mississippi in the aftermath of Katrina. He shot a friend in the face with a shotgun. He was hated by the citizens of his own State of Wyoming. He battered down his own daughter because of her sexuality all for his lust for power and politics. He will leave a black mark on his name that will likely be viewed by history in a negative to neutral light. The only thing I should say about Dick Cheney is: 'May God have mercy on his Soul'.
Honestly, I think Darth Vader was more empathetic and compassionate.
