"Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel peace prize."
Which was extra ironic, given Kissinger reportedly said to Soviet ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin "I figure it like Groucho Marx said 'any club that took him in he would not want to join'. I would say that anything Lê Đức Thọ is eligible for, there must be something wrong with it." while Lê Đức Thọ declined the prize, on grounds that such "bourgeois sentimentalities" were not for him and that the Paris Peace Accords (for which he and Kissinger had been awarded the prize) were not being adhered to in full.
I see no predictions by him.
What I do see are examples of him selectively quoting other people and that he was in turn selectively quoted himself.
This is also why you shouldn't rely on politicians for anything.
