Kissinger and his gang

   Love is synonymous with the merciful heart.  The merciful heart is the discriminating heart.  And it does bestow mercy upon the children of light and lightbearers, justice upon the evildoer, absolute God-justice whereby those who have taken the left-handed path are given the opportunity commensurate with the good works they accomplished while on the right-handed path.
  God does pay His debts to all.  And therefore some on the left-handed path have had extended stays before the final judgment and many many opportunities to be wooed by the Divine Mother and by the merciful heart of Kuan Yin to come back to their First Love.  

-Maha Chohan:  5-19-1991, Pentecost, at RTR, MT, Pearls of Wisdom 48:9

  Michael Froman (born August 20, 1962) is an American lawyer who served as the U.S. Trade Representative from 2013 to 2017.   He served as the United States sherpa to the G7, G8, and G20 summits of economic powers.[2]  On May 2, 2013 President Barack Obama nominated him to succeed Ambassador Ron Kirk as the U.S. Trade Representative.[3][4] He was confirmed on June 19, 2013.
  Froman grew up in a Jewish family[5] in San Rafael and graduated from the Branson School.[6]  As a teen Froman was active in the B'nai B'rith Youth Organization, serving as the 56th International President in 1980.[7] He later spoke at the BBYO International Convention in Washington, D.C. in February 2013.[8] Froman received an A.B. in Public and International Affairs from the Woodrow Wilson School of Princeton University with a senior thesis entitled Negotiating from Strength: The Principle of Power in US-Soviet Arms Control [9] in 1985, a DPhil in International Relations entitled The development of the idea of detente in American political discourse, 1952-1985, supervised by Sir Michael Howard, [9] from St Antony's College, Oxford in 1988 and a J.D. from Harvard Law School where he was a classmate of Barack Obama, [2][10] and also where he was an associate of Obama's on the Harvard Law Review. [11]
Froman served as liaison of the American Bar Association's Central and East European Law Initiative (CEELI) legal assistance program in Albania.  He was also a member of the Forward Studies Unit of the European Commission in Brussels.[2]
Between January 1993 and December 1995 Froman was Deputy National Security Advisor for International Economic Affairs on the United States National Economic Council, a position held jointly at the National Security Council and the National Economic Council.[2] He was Deputy Assistant Secretary for Eurasia and the Middle East where his work was related to economic policy towards the former Soviet Union, Central and Eastern Europe, as well as economic components of the Dayton Accords.[2]  He was a Senior Fellow at the Council of Foreign Relations and a Resident Fellow at the German Marshall Fund.
Froman spent much of his career within the United States Department of the Treasury[2] where he rose to Chief of Staff under Robert Rubin in January 1997 and served until July 1999.  After the end of the Clinton administration in 2001, Froman followed Robert Rubin from the Treasury Department to Citigroup.[11]   He was President and Chief Executive Officer of Citi Insurance and head of Emerging Markets Strategy at Citigroup, managing infrastructure and sustainable development investments. [2]  He received more than $7.4 million from January 2008 to 2009 alone. [12]
Froman and Obama were not in touch after their time at Harvard until Obama's 2004 Senate campaign when Froman volunteered to advise Obama on policy; he introduced Obama to
Robert Rubin, right, (with Greenspan and Summers) [11] In 2008.  Froman served on a 12-member advisory board of the Obama campaign's transition team,[2][13] and joined the White House for a second run in 2009.  He went back to the position he held during the Clinton years, as deputy assistant to the president and deputy national security adviser for international economic affairs, at the National Security Council and the National Economic Council until 2013.
On May 2, 2013 Froman was nominated to serve as U.S. Trade Representative.  Financial documents provided to the Senate Finance Committee showed he had nearly $500,000 in an offshore fund at Ugland House on the Cayman Islands, which Obama had once described as "the biggest tax scam in the world."[14]  In 2013 congressional testimony, Rep. Kevin Brady, Republican from Texas, criticized the EU low carbon fuel standard, where oil from tar-sands is classified by itself due to its higher carbon polluting impact compared to regular oil as a "discriminatory, environmentally unjustified" trade barrier, to which Froman responded "I share your concerns," followed by a description of his work to "press the Commission to take the views of U.S. refiners under consideration."  Froman's role as in the drafting of classified trade deals (made public by WikiLeaks) is under scrutiny by lawyers and politicians alike.[15]  The U.S. Senate confirmed Froman in a 93-4 vote on June 19, 2013.[16]   One of the four dissenting senators was Massachusetts Democrat Elizabeth Warren who faulted Froman for "refusing to commit to standards of transparency in trade talks set by the George W. Bush administration".[15]  Environmental groups have criticized Froman for negotiating the Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement in secret and that he "took care of his friends on Wall Street and in corporate board rooms at the expense of sound environmental and climate policy."[17]
In 2017 Froman joined the Council on Foreign Relations as a distinguished fellow in the Washington, D.C. office.  In April 2018 he was hired by Mastercard Inc as Vice Chairman and President for Strategic Growth.[18]   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Froman

6-5-2011 Though Kissinger had mastered the art of flattering his superiors, Bundy was more immune to it than most. Along with the President, Bundy regarded Kissinger as brilliant & also tiresome.  Bundy imitated Kissinger’s long, German-accented discourses and the rolling of the President’s eyes that accompanied them.   https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/content-series/thinking-global/berlin-1961-the-kissinger-kennedy-connection/
