The most unfortunate aspect to researching this list was the realization that that I could do a top 100 most evil men and still have a multitude of people for a second list! The selection of this list is based not upon death tolls, but upon the general actions, and impact, or brutality of the people. From bad to worst, here are the top 10 evil men in history.
10. Attila The Hun
Attila was Khan of the Huns from 434 until his death in 453. He was leader of the Hunnic Empire which stretched from Germany to the Ural River and from the Danube River to the Baltic Sea. In much of Western Europe, he is remembered as the epitome of cruelty and rapacity. An unsuccessful campaign in Persia was followed in 441 by an invasion of the Eastern Roman Empire, the success of which emboldened Attila to invade the West. He passed unhindered through Austria and Germany, across the Rhine into Gaul, plundering and devastating all in his path with a ferocity unparalleled in the records of barbarian invasions and compelling those he overcame to augment his mighty army. Attila drowned in his own blood on his wedding night.
9. Maximilien Robespierre
Maximilien Robespierre was a leader of the French revolution and it was his arguments that caused the revolutionary government to murder the king without a trial. In addition, Robespierre was one of the main driving forces behind the reign of terror, a 10 month post-revolutionary period in which mass executions were carried out. The Terror took the lives of between 18,500 to 40,000 people, with 1,900 being killed in the last month. Among people who were condemned by the revolutionary tribunals, about 8 percent were aristocrats, 6 percent clergy, 14 percent middle class, and 70 percent were workers or peasants accused of hoarding, evading the draft, desertion, rebellion, and other purported crimes.
In an act of coincidental justice, Robespierre was guillotined without a trial in 1794.
8. Ruhollah Khomeini
Ayatollah Khomeini was the religious leader of Iran from 1979 to 1989. In that time he implemented Sharia Law (Islamic religious law) with the Islamic dress code enforced for both men and women by Islamic Revolutionary Guards and other Islamic groups. Opposition to the religious rule of the clergy or Islam in general was often met with harsh punishments. In a talk at the Fayzieah School in Qom, August 30, 1979, Khomeini said:
“Those who are trying to bring corruption and destruction to our country in the name of democracy will be oppressed. They are worse than Bani-Ghorizeh Jews, and they must be hanged. We will oppress them by God’s order and God’s call to prayer.”
In the 1988 massacre of Iranian prisoners, following the People’s Mujahedin of Iran operation Forough-e Javidan against the Islamic Republic, Khomeini issued an order to judicial officials to judge every Iranian political prisoner and kill those who would not repent anti-regime activities. Many say that thousands were swiftly put to death inside the prisons. The suppressed memoirs of Grand Ayatollah Hossein-Ali Montazeri reportedly detail the execution of 30,000 political activists.
After eleven days in a hospital for an operation to stop internal bleeding, Khomeini died of cancer on Saturday, June 04, 1989, at the age of 86.
7. Idi Amin Dada
Idi Amin was an army officer and president of Uganda. He took power in a military coup in January 1971, deposing Milton Obote. His rule was characterized by human rights abuses, political repression, ethnic persecution, extra judicial killings and the expulsion of Indians from Uganda. The number of people killed as a result of his regime is unknown; estimates range from 80,000 to 500,000. On August 4, 1972, Amin issued a decree ordering the expulsion of the 60,000 Asians who were not Ugandan citizens (most of them held British passports). This was later amended to include all 80,000 Asians, with the exception of professionals, such as doctors, lawyers and teachers. Amin was eventually overthrown, but until his death, he held that Uganda needed him and he never expressed remorse for the abuses of his regime.
6. Leopold II of Belgium
Leopold II was King of Belgium from 1865-1909. With financial support from the government, Leopold created the Congo Free State, a private project undertaken to extract rubber and ivory in the Congo region of central Africa, which relied on forced labour and resulted in the deaths of approximately 3 million Congolese. The regime of the Congo Free State became one of the more infamous international scandals of the turn of the century. The area of land privately owned by the King was an area 76 times larger than Belgium, which he was free to rule as a personal domain through his private army, the Force Publique. Leopold’s rubber gatherers tortured, maimed and slaughtered until at the turn of the century, the conscience of the Western world forced Brussels to call a halt.
5. Pol Pot
Pol Pot was the leader of the Khmer Rouge and the Prime Minister of Cambodia from 1976 to 1979, having been de facto leader since mid-1975. During his time in power Pol Pot imposed an extreme version of agrarian communism where all city dwellers were relocated to the countryside to work in collective farms and forced labour projects. The combined effect of slave labour, malnutrition, poor medical care and executions is estimated to have killed around 2 million Cambodians (approximately one third of the population). His regime achieved special notoriety for singling out all intellectuals and other “bourgeois enemies” for murder. The Khmer Rouge committed mass executions in sites known as the Killing Fields. The executed were buried in mass graves. In order to save ammunition, executions were often carried out using hammers, axe handles, spades or sharpened bamboo sticks.
4. Vlad Ţepeş
Vlad III of Romania (also known as Vlad the Impaler) was Prince of Wallachia three times between 1448 and 1476. Vlad is best known for the legends of the exceedingly cruel punishments he imposed during his reign and for serving as the primary inspiration for the vampire main character in Bram Stoker’s popular Dracula novel. In Romania he is viewed by many as a prince with a deep sense of justice. His method of torture was a horse attached to each of the victim’s legs as a sharpened stake was gradually forced into the body. The end of the stake was usually oiled, and care was taken that the stake not be too sharp; else the victim might die too rapidly from shock. Wikipedia has an article that describes, in great details, the methods of Vlad’s cruelty. The list of tortures he is alleged to have employed is extensive: nails in heads, cutting off of limbs, blinding, strangulation, burning, cutting off of noses and ears, mutilation of sexual organs (especially in the case of women), scalping, skinning, exposure to the elements or to animals, and boiling alive. There are claims that on some occasions ten thousand people were impaled in 1460 alone.
3. Ivan IV of Russia
Ivan IV of Russia, also know as Ivan the Terrible, was the Grand Duke of Muscovy from 1533 to 1547 and was the first ruler of Russia to assume the title of Tsar. In 1570, Ivan was under the belief that the elite of the city of Novgorod planned to defect to Poland, and led an army to stop them on January 2. Ivan’s soldiers built walls around the perimeter of the city in order to prevent the people of the city escaping. Between 500 and 1000 people were gathered every day by the troops, then tortured and killed in front of Ivan and his son. In 1581, Ivan beat his pregnant daughter-in-law for wearing immodest clothing, causing a miscarriage. His son, also named Ivan, upon learning of this, engaged in a heated argument with his father, which resulted in Ivan striking his son in the head with his pointed staff, causing his son’s (accidental) death.
2. Adolf Hitler
Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany in 1933, becoming “Führer” in 1934 until his suicide in 1945. By the end of the second world war, Hitler’s policies of territorial conquest and racial subjugation had brought death and destruction to tens of millions of people, including the genocide of some six million Jews in what is now known as the Holocaust. On 30 April 1945, after intense street-to-street combat, when Soviet troops were spotted within a block or two of the Reich Chancellory, Hitler committed suicide, shooting himself while simultaneously biting into a cyanide capsule.
1. Josef Stalin
Stalin was General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union’s Central Committee from 1922 until his death in 1953. Under Stalin’s leadership, the Ukraine suffered from a famine (Holodomor) so great it is considered by many to be an act of genocide on the part of Stalin’s government. Estimates of the number of deaths range from 2.5 million to 10 million. The famine was caused by direct political and administrative decisions. In addition to the famine, Stalin ordered purges within the Soviet Union of any person deemed to be an enemy of the state. In total, estimates of the total number murdered under Stalins reign, range from 10 million to 60 million.
Bonus: Emperor Hirohito of Japan
Hirohito was the Emporer of Japan from 1926 to 1989. In 1937, Japanese troops committed the war crime that is now known as the Rape of Nanking (the then Capital of China, now known as Nanjing). The duration of the massacre is not clearly defined, although the violence lasted well into the next six weeks, until early February 1938. During the occupation of Nanjing, the Japanese army committed numerous atrocities, such as rape, looting, arson and the execution of prisoners of war and civilians. A large number of women and children were also killed, as rape and murder became more widespread. The death toll is generally considered to be between 150,000 and 300,000. The Wikipedia article contains images and descriptions of the atrocities committed.
Notable Omissions: Oliver Cromwell, Mao Tse-tung, Kim Il-sung, Caligula
the introduction is saddening part..
and where is Dick Cheney?
where the hell is Mao?
having tea wid hu jin tao where do ya think ?in heaven?
What the *****? Mao didn’t kill no one. And most of china supported Mao. Why do you think they won over the Taiwainese Gov. with a boat and some bullets. You need to do some research. Mao did a wonderful job. Although some of his decisions like being communist sounds bad, it had to be that way in the beginning with a billion people population. Think about it! Research. Do it!
mao killed most people then any other leader
Mao did not kill anyone, what you are believing is either American propaganda or rebellion countries against Communist China.
mao started the cultural revolution, the Great Leap forward. millions starved to death because of these events. what is worse is that the regime does not acknowledge these atrocities, rather than coming to turn with history, they buried it from its people. Ever nation has its darkest hours, but whats more valuable is learning it so we won’t doom to repeat it
Bull***** my boy. I even went to China myself for a vacation and asked at least a couple of hundreds of people of what they think of Mao Zedong for my own personal curiosity. I’m estimating that at least 92% said he promoted equality among others. The rest of the 8% said he was a bad leader, because they said everybody get’s the same payment even though others work harder. None stated that he was a population murderer. I’m pretty sure that what you’re hearing about the “Great Leap Forward” and all that crap is really American and foreign propaganda.
Did he start a personal holocaust? Stalin did
Mao Zedong should be on this list…..period.
If you wish to argue on his placement in the top 3, or perhaps 5, okay. But i think there’s very little reasonable debate to be had as to why he SHOULDN’T be on the list. His direct actions, and brutal terror, resulted in between 40-79 million deaths.
Sure, a lot of chinese loved him….But the germans loved hitler…….your point?
Now to the Anti-American people……..come on, get real.
You might hate America, and their wealth, and the fact that they’re the superpower and your country isn’t, or the fact that you’re dirt poor, so you hate the government and everyone who makes more money then you……and you might be anti-war, but to say any president, from Washington, to Obama, should be on this list or anything close to the top ten, you’re just being silly. Absolutely, insanely, silly. Get Real…..America hasn’t set out to conquer the world with bloodshed and violence for several decades! They’re not invading Canada, or Mexico…… Matter a fact, under bush AND obama, Mexicans are over flooding into America! And MEXICAN violence, is flooding the borders.
And before anyone jumps on America being in the middle east, they’re there for a reason………say oil all you want, but they were attacked on 9/11 and they had to respond.
But i know the 9/11 truthers think they killed 3000+ of their people just for some freakin oil……which after a decade they haven’t gotten seeing as how gas prices are insane there, but WHATEVER. Lets say 9/11 moronic-truthers are right……if the US government, was as evil as any of these guys in the top 10…..***** a war, they’d nuke the middle east and turn it into a graveyard of 100′s of MILLIONS…….so again, COMEEEEEE ONNNNNNNNNN.
You have to be reasonable when you say *****….and just because you’re mad about, or disagree with, the war in Iraq [which i do totally], you can’t go around saying ***** like Bush or Chenney or Obama is just as bad as Attila The Hun, Vlad, and so on. It makes you seem highly unreasonable.
Sincerely, Kiyomi Ming Xia, I understand where you’re coming from on most of the U.S. Presidents. Candidly, though, I do sometimes wonder about Truman, not so much about Heroshima, since it is barely possible that the Japanese may have just fought on until no one was alive there at all. So maybe Heroshima played some salutary role in changing that.
But what bothers me more concerns the aftermath. Heroshima was on Aug. 6, and on either the 7th or 8th, the Soviets mobilized to take on Japan. Then, it was apparently on the 8th that the Emperor, citing (I believe?) both Heroshima and the Soviet invasion, wrote to the Prime Minister that the time for talks was now. Essentially, the Japanese had blinked. Heroshima and the Soviet mobilization had made its point.
Then, on the 9th, we bombed Nagasaki……….. I truly feel that that was a gratuitous gesture. There was plenty of intelligence that the Japanese were already on the run. They didn’t want the Russians coming and they didn’t want another Heroshima — but they got another Heroshima anyway. And while I still don’t feel that Truman deserves to be in the worst ten, I do feel that Nagasaki was gratuitous and that it’s Nagasaki that makes the idea of Truman membership in the worst twenty or the worst thirty not that outlandish.
With respect,
Stone
You’re right. Nagasaki was likely not needed since Hiroshima DEFINITELY got the point across that the USA wasn’t joking around.
I really do get that Point of view, and concur with it. But that was after the USA was attacked. A little ruthless to nuke Nagasaki, yes, but it was a war…..and the USA was on the defense…..we can’t punish people because their defense was far harsher then the offense. The offense had no business starting something, if they didn’t want to deal with the might of the person they attacked in the first place.
Thankfully now, we all know nukes shouldn’t belong in wars, and are the last of the last resorts……which is why the US hasn’t nuked afghanistan or iran.[even though i still think if talks with North Korea and Iran dont' work out, there will eventually be a nuclear war....started by the middle east, china/russia, or NK, and not any of the allied-countries]
So yeah, while the USA didn’t have to bomb Nagasaki, Japan started something they mistakenly thought they could finish….and they *****ed the USA off with Pearl Harbor….which wasn’t deserved.
In general, war is such a pointless pig-headed thing……
For all our intelligence, human beings can really be simple-minded, overly-prideful, and violent, creatures. =(
Something people who criticize the decision to bomb Nagasaki universally seem to forget is the fact that World War II was total war, meaning every part of the belligerent countries was involved in the war effort. Civilian populations were the labor pool used to manufacture weapons, munitions, and other materiel. In Japan’s case, the civilian population was being trained for an all-out defense of every square foot of the country. And can you imagine how decimated the land, infrastructure, and population would have been by a protracted conventional campaign?
Think about this: in preparation for the massive casualties the American military expected to sustain during a conventional invasion of, and battle for the Japanese islands, a huge number of Purple Heart medals (awarded to U.S. service members wounded or killed in combat) were manufactured.
We are still using the Purple Hearts from that lot.
That’s how many were expected to be wounded or killed.
When President Truman was faced with the choice of staggering American losses or massive yet controlled Japanese deaths using a weapon whose psychological impact far outweighed its firepower, I don’t think there was any other decision he could have made. The delay after the Hiroshima bombing clearly signaled indecisiveness on the part of the Japanese leadership. He couldn’t give them time to process and regroup. It had to be ended.
“J” writes –
“The delay after the Hiroshima bombing clearly signaled indecisiveness on the part of the Japanese leadership. He couldn’t give them time to process and regroup. It had to be ended.”
With respect, what happened — especially in those days when news traveled slower — was no delay at all. As I already pointed out in my previous, Hirohito wrote his directive for immediate talks a mere two days later! That is not a delay. Hiroshima had done its work. There would be no ground war. You do not address the timeline I supplied in my previous. Why don’t you?
Sincerely,
Stone
truly you are either seriously dis informed and brainwashed or your spreadin the disinfo yourself
your american figurehead presidents might seem innocent to you
but every one of them has blood on their hands,subtly covered or
sufficiently distracted by “dirt poor thirld world leaders” as you offensively
describe
what you are sayin is dangerous cuz ppl are gullible enough to believe you#so WAKE THE ***** UP,COP ON TO YOURSELF AND FACE THE HIDDEN DICTATORS IN YOUR HOMELAND
Do you even know what the word dictator means?? A dictator is someone who has absolute power and gives his people no rights. And Americans have rights. As long as America is a democracy, there will never be any dictators in America.
Actually, the USA is not a democracy and never has been. We are a republic. The USA is too populous to be a pure democracy.
Only president I think is that despicable(but not to the point of being on this list) is Andrew Jackson.
Bullsh*t my boy. I even went to China myself for a vacation and asked at least a couple of hundreds of people of what they think of Mao Zedong for my own personal curiosity. I’m estimating that at least 92% said he promoted equality among others. The rest of the 8% said he was a bad leader, because they said everybody get’s the same payment even though others work harder. None stated that he was a population murderer. I’m pretty sure that what you’re hearing about the “Great Leap Forward” and all that crap is really American and foreign propaganda.
and ariel sharon?
I am one of the biggest Bush-bashers i know, but at least I base my bashing in fact and truth. His administration sucked balls bigtime, there's enough material to use against America for the next 5 presidents. Perhaps he'd be #11.
although i agree with most who say bush and cheney should not make this list. I do however feel that their has been no greater evil entity in history than the american goverment. I love this country and value our civil libertys but the violence we bring upon others is truelly amazing. No other civilization has enslaved persecuted, detained, nuked, "liberated" any other group of people like we have. We have done so and have convinced ourself that we are doing so with a greater good in mind. Now i fear that our country will become so afraid of terrorism that we will eventually begin to mistreat the very citizens who make this great country so great. Malcolm X wants stated something to the affect of the chickens coming home to roost. This is a very real threat that this nation faces. Now i find great hope on obama. Some might disagree with the man as a man but what he represents in this country reaches well beyond what he could ever do.
dude awesome also enslaved people the african-american
Thank you for this exhibit of massive stupidity.
If he was up your ass you would know.
For all the “Mao didn’t kill anyone” crowd. That is the worst lie I’ve ever heard in my life. In fact, Mao has killed more than anyone in history. I also know from past experience that China actually hires people to spread propaganda on online forums, chatrooms, and websites like this.
Although I’m not sure that these “Moa didn’t kill anyone” people are the same people that are hired, I would certainly not discount the possibility. Either that, or they didn’t bother to do their research, and felt an unecessary amount of outrage for a leader that is netorious for propoganda and violation of human rights.
“Most historians agree that excess deaths (the difference between projected and actual demographic data) total at least 20 million (with more than two-thirds of these deaths occurring in 1960 alone); high estimates stand at 65 million (in 1957 China’s population was 646 million).”
http://www.enotes.com/genocide-encyclopedia/mao-zedong
So, If Stalin had 2.5 to 10 million, I’m thinking Mao Zedong come in first with 20 million to 65 million.
Yes, he has killed AT THE VERY LEAST, twice as much as the second worst genocidal leader. At most TWENTY SIX TIMES MORE.
Bull***** my boy. I even went to China myself for a vacation and asked at least a couple of hundreds of people of what they think of Mao Zedong for my own personal curiosity. I’m estimating that at least 92% said he promoted equality among others. The rest of the 8% said he was a bad leader, because they said everybody get’s the same payment even though others work harder. None stated that he was a population murderer. I’m pretty sure that what you’re hearing about the “Great Leap Forward” and all that crap is really American and foreign propaganda.
Who the hell goes on vacation to ask people what they thought of a ruler? And seriously, “at least92%”? How did you come up with that number?
I never cease to be amazed at the sheer, gibbering idiocy of these wild-eyed claims that BushCheneyHalliburtonZOMG11!!11 is on par with the people being listed here. You nitwits utterly nuke whatever point you think you’re making when you trot out your ridiculous hyperbole.
If–IF–you accept the Lancet estimates of 655,000 deaths in Iraq (and you really shouldn’t, since there were such serious methodological flaws in the study, making its conclusions wildly out of step with all other studies), that figure is so far below the mass murderers’ body counts listed here as to be insignificant in comparison. If Bush were a mass murderer, he would have effortlessly gassed, poisoned, or bombed the entire country (something Sadaam Hussein certainly tried to do to the Kurds, which is conveniently omitted in these rants). And beyond that minor problem, even assuming the Lancet study is accurate, you still can’t pin it on the chests of President Bush and his administration. What would be the logic?
“Well, see, if we hadn’t invaded Iraq, then we wouldn’t have forced these people to go to all the trouble of blowing each other up, shooting up each other’s weddings/mosques/parades, and otherwise slaughtering each other.”
What kind of ridiculous tripe is this? If an Iraqi/Syrian/Lebanese/Saudi conspires to attack Iraqi civilians, makes all the necessary plans, constructs an explosive device, transports it to the target site, and detonates it, how in the world is that crime then laid at the feet of the United States government, its leaders, its military, or its general population?
Frankly, it’s my opinion that all the America-bashing in general, and the Bush-hatred in particular, is a combination of mass hysteria and the functional product of the world’s hurt feelings in the face of America’s overwhelming military, cultural, and (to a lesser extent) financial dominance. Call it tall poppy syndrome or whatever, but it’s a social pathology that has little logical basis. The ranting conspiracy theorists who pass for objective media figures in other countries feed their audiences a steady diet of poorly-sourced innuendo and yellow journalism that reminds me of nothing so much as the hilarious yet terrifying Arab paranoia that Israel had trained sharks to kill tourists at Egyptian Red Sea resorts in order to harm the Egyptian economy.
It should be clear to any thinking person that we are not dealing with rational objections to the ways in which American power is projected. We are dealing with superstition and magical thinking and hysteria, borne of deeply rooted inferiority and embarrassment. Someone has got to get in front of the baying pack and redirect all this hatred into something productive, because clearly it is consuming the minds and spirits of a LOT of people.
Here they come; The Bush/Cheney/Rove-Haters! With their view of evil so skewed, they will hysterically compare legendary evil people who killed millions, like Hitler, Pol Pot, and Stalin to liberating millions from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Whatever you politically views might be, these are the most evil people who have ever walked the earth. They're names are synonymous with condoned murder, torture, and rape of thousands of people. To even suggest Bush/Cheney/Rove are in the same league is a sure sign of mental illness.
Seek mental health treatment, Dalandzadgad, if you really believe Cheney should be on this list.
what are you? retarded…oh wait…all americans are
We're not ALL retarded, and let me prove my point here.
"Whatever you politically views might be, these are the most evil people who have ever walked the earth. They're names are synonymous with condoned murder, torture, and rape of thousands of people."- REALLY loose cannon- Bush/Cheney/Rove aren't responsible for anything like this? OR, are you just being complacent and mentally ill yourself? OR do you watch way too much Fox News and believe everything you hear?
My suggestion to you is to look at the facts, and when those are hidden behind the secrets of the CIA and the Bush Family, dig deeper. You will be SHOCKED at how evil these men are. Think, with your brain, not your TV.
That is all.
Stan da Man;
We Americans are NOT Retarded—ENGLISHMEN are RETARDED. We Americans are all HYPERCRITES…Whatdaya Expect? Our country was founded by slave owning white men who fought a war of Independence because they YEARNED to breath free!!!
FYI, we Americans LIVE for Hyperbole. In San Francisco, I was once chased down the street by a waiter who complained 'YOU ARE WORST THAN HITLER' because I only left a 10% tip. I had to correct the food server "Adolf Hitler was a Vegan and there has never been a Vegan born yet who has left a tip at a resturant!!!
Hitler was neither a vegan (where'd you get that outa??) or a vegetarian actually. Research please.
And vegans don't leave tips?? How do you surmise that?? Again, research.
Idiot.
That’s not prejudice….what an amazingly intelligent statement to make.
Here’s another tolerant, peaceful citizen of the world. So moral and righteous he can judge entire nations.
Also, apparently so open-minded his brains have fallen out…..
Change liberate into murder and you’re right on the money.
Excellent list. Hitler often gets the nod for being the ultimate incarnation of modern evil, but it's often overlooked that Stalin was directly responsible for killing many more than Hitler. This is not to say that Hitler deserves any sympathy – the guy was a monster, and one can only hope that he and Stalin are forced to bunk together in the Inferno.
I'd also like to point out that insisting that Cheny be part of this list is incredibly shortsighted. Regardless of one's feelings about the current Bush administration, it is important that we maintain a proper perspective on this. Saying that Cheney makes Stalin look like Bambi is hyperbole of the first order. I think that until somebody provokes a nuclear war, NOBODY will make Stalin look like Bambi.
Stalin killed about 60 million, Hitler killed 50 million. Stalin killed more, but Hitler's motive was worse.
I'd say Stalin was worse; at least people knew that Hitler was evil. However, Stalin hid every one of his evil deeds under a blanket of secrecy, and even shook hands with the Allies' leaders, pretending to be good ol' Uncle Joe.
Plus, look up his photo thing. That seriously creeps me out. "You have wronged me, so I will have you executed and then cut you out of photos!" It's as tho the person never existed. O.o
Stalin didn’t kill 60 million, how ridiculous. Hitler was responsible for 25 million dead Russians, 6.5 million dead Jews and Gypsies, around 2 million other dead Europeans and up to a million dead otherwise. He was however responsible for the worst in human nature, the theory of the superman/ubermensch, and the derivative theory of the untermensch. His plan was to annihilate a further 30 million Russians to make room for Germans on the plains of Russia and Ukraine. The Russians, Stalin, alternatively welcomed Jews into their army and society. Stalin was probably directly responsible for the collectivisation of the Russian and Ukrainian peasant which accounted for up to 20 million or so deaths due to starvation, but this was light years away from the industrialised death factories of AH and Himmler, Kaltenbrunner, etc. Get your facts straight.
this list is obviously biased.
ya know what i dont think that hitler was sooooo evil he didnt bathe in blood or do anything like that okay fine he was VERY misguided but its the germans who put such an idiot at such a high position its not really his fault oh yeah if you disagree we all have had one crzy fantasy for example ruling the world,making everyone bow at your feet etc but he was one of the many who got to implement his crazy fantasy
I agree, hitlers main intention behind all the gas chambers and digging your own grave is hitler was sick of everybody fighting and if he had the only race the fighting and *****ing would stop. A utopia in a Edgar Allen Poe sortta way
Stalin had very dumb motives and usually just killed out of paranoia
Tecnically, Hitler, in starting the second world war, caused the deaths of 65+ million (and thats with conservitive estimates on the Holocaust and other mass murders)
As for Hirohito, He was an airheaded figure, used by the military to justify their actions, not the supreme leader of Japan the Americans claimed he was
Finally, as a Canadian, I can give an objective view on the Bush administration:
If stupidity was a crime then they would be number 3 at least
your about half right, but you are proof of how dumb canandians are
You just showed how much of a dumbass you are, generalizing is for children, bigots, and idiots.
Absolutely ridiculous… You seem to have forgotten the chaps that dropped the A-bomb my friend. Oh, yes, I forgot. They were American.. Dear, dear..
Did you know the Japanese and the Germans were trying to take over the earth? did you know they were all for destroying all of the western world so they could take control? If that bomb wasn't dropped the axis may have won the war. If they didn't win, not dropping the bomb would have prolonged the war and killed millions more. If you are against Russia, British and Americans winning the war, then you are the enemy and should have been on the Nagasaki or Hiroshima bases when the bombs dropped.
We would have won very soon, anyway. It was not necessary. The real issue is that we killed civilians en masse to save soldiers–this is inexcusable.
Japanese civilian deaths in WWII 500,000 to 1 million.
Chinese civilian deaths in WWII 7 million to 16 million.
How many Chinese civilian deaths were prevented by the swift end to the war? There would have been more Japanese civilian deaths if we had to fire bomb Japan the same as Germany. Followed by a ground war there would have been more military deaths on both sides without a speedy end to the war. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualt…
Actually, we did firebomb Japan.
I am sorry but bombing civilians to defeat Japan is unacceptable. At least bomb the military not civilians.
you do realize that the atomic bomb almost wiped out the entire race of japanese people right amercans may have died other people my have died but there was no danger to a whole genetic gene pool
lol – where are you getting this? The bombs didn’t even come close to “wiping out the Japanese”
killing not even 300,000 people is killing an entire race of hundreds of millions of people??
You say that like it’s bad
Did you know they were gonna loose anyway? It was only a matter of months before Japan was defeated. 2 superpowers and the ex-most powerful nation on Earth ever against Japan whose tactic of kamikaze airplanes would deplete their supply of airplanes soon.
Did you know that the Japanese killed over 30 million Asians???
How many has the USA killed? Exactly
There is no other nation that has done more attrocities than the USA. you are right. but there is no particular person in the USA who is the most evil.
No way, Jose. If we’re so evil, what’s our body count?
Do we beat out the Rape of Nanking?
How about the Killing Fields?
How about the Communist Russian starvation of the people of Ukraine?
How about the idiotic murders of the Cultural Revolution?
How about the murder of 6 million Jews by the German people?
How about the Communist gulags Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote about, imprisoning and murdering millions of political dissidents?
How about the death squads of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro (Communists again), executing people left and right, including pastors and priests?
How about the near-daily terrorist attacks carried out by radical Muslim terrorists?
How about the insane violence of the Mexican drug cartels, disemboweling and beheading bloggers who criticize them online?
Come on, Jose, Arbiter of All Things Moral, you’re wasting a lot of people’s time. Tell us who we need to hate. We need to know which country has committed the most atrocities, so we can bomb them back to the Stone Age. What’s it going to be?
i think it should be noted that even though hirohito allowed and ordered such things in the 30's he also brought about technological expansions and revolutions as well as economic prosperity for japan, later making it the global power it is today. he also always believed that, in world war 2, if america was attacked it would be a "sleeping giant" that would wreck havoc, as we did. he was an amazing man, and i wouldnt consider him absoutly evil, to think evil think Gen. Ulysses Grant who burned crops and homes of soooo many southern farms in the civil war and allowed people to die who were not armed. there are many americans who have ordered the murder of children and women, im no supporter of murder, though that doesnt excuse hirohito at all for his actions, though he was much younger at the time, and imressionable by the generals and his advisors. also vlad the impaler is considered a hero in romania, he helped spread christianity and unite romania as one, though he was one sick bastard. he, i believe, was actually evil but a great military leader, also, hitler was an amzing leader but the most messed up man ever, absolutly evil, same goes for stalin.
Hirihito did NOT bring economic or tech. prosperity to Japan, you need to brush up on your history. After the US invasion, we rebuilt the country and put millions upon millions of dollars back into their economy…the Japs, who were no longer allowed an army, invested the resources and money the US gave to them in other things…like education and food production. Hirihito was long dead at this point. The only thing this man did for Japan was bring back an ancient warrior code, Bushido. It instilled the belief that dying in battle was a free tickett to eternal paridise….and taking prisoners was disgraceful, hence the Baton Death March. If I knew where Hirihito was burried, I'd ***** on his grave 4 times a week!
And it was not “Hirihito” who called the US a sleeping giant, it was his best Military Leader that opposed the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. Ol’ “Hirihito” was the one who ordered it.
AND; It was not Gen. Ulysses Grant who burned the crops and farms. It was Gen Sherman, and he did it to break the back of the Southerner who refused to stop fighting, because they were able to support themselves and the war with those farms. I believe the idea that defines who goes on this list is inaccurate though. War time deaths are evil, but they are the collective evil. We all share the responsibility of our societies actions, no matter how disapprovingly we shake our fist. If we do not approve, then make enough of a point that everyone stops and says thinks. If not, then at least research before pointing your fingers at the keys,or you risk looking dumb and being inconsiquential.
Judas Iscariot should be up here. Personally stabbing God in the back is an act that's hard to beat.
allegedly.. and if we look upon this without the religious extremism, we might go as far as say, "he stabbed jesus (the man) in the back, he never stabbed god
Joe you are stupid, Judas never stabbed Jesus, he sold Jesus. Judas was NOT evil. He did not know that Jesus would be killed. When he found out that Jesus was going to be killed, he was so upset with himself that he committed suicide. Judas is a misunderstood person.
Jesus himself is alleged!
How about Saruman the White from Lord of the Rings if we’re bringing up fictional characters?
dalandzadgad: Wow! I didn’t expect the Bush Administration to be mentioned in the first comment (though I was expecting it eventually). You are quite right about the opening paragraph.
Hehe – I think I am going to sit back and watch as sparks fly
“liberating millions”..? yes, that’s exactly how the people in Iraq and Afghanistan feel.
blunders aside, the intentions of a select few are truly evil. but no point arguing now, only skewed history will tell.
Dick Cheney makes Stalin look like Bambi.
Dal…come on, some rationality please. You sound completely disconnected from reality. Ask a Russian who was worse.
seriously man ? bambi?oh so u have a problem with the stanlin holocaust???????
Thank you for NOT including anyone in the Bush administration. However much some may dislike his politics, we have no real expectation that, next year, they will mystically change the Constitution, publicly shoot all who oppose them, and then declare themselves Dictator for Life. Even the most vehement anti-Bush people have every reason to expect Bush and company to step down when the term is up and the new president is sworn in.
Part of what makes a list of ‘evil people’ really good is that the scope and ferocity of what occurs can make your stomach turn. Frequently, they don’t care who they hurt, even their ‘own people’ (Robespierre, Stalin…). And the list of horrendous torments permitted, and encouraged, can sicken us without even lots of details. (And when the details are read, it just seems that much worse.)
A very good list!
See the thing is the administration isn't 'magically changing' the constitution or publicly shooting all who oppose them in their country. Nevertheless, they are making up for it by doing this in Iraq and Afghanistan. Its the same thing, they are attacking those who do not have the same political ideology as them. And what makes it even worse than Stalin and Robespierre, was that these people were deemed by their masses to be worthy of leading, and then they screwed them over. The Bush administration is screwing over people who had nothing to do with its rise to power!
Cat: Thanks
JFRater, you are so evil!:)
dalandzadgad – “Dick Cheney makes Stalin look like Bambi.”
Like Bambi? If you really fear that you might be shipped off to a labor camp for your political views, then I suggest you either leave this country or seek mental health treatment.
It’s obvious you know nothing about Stalin, his purges, the forced labor camps in Siberia he implemented nor the 5 year plans that killed millions.
Seriously, seek mental health treatment. Dick Cheney does not make Stalin look like Bambi. To say so is ignorant and absurd.
you realize that 2 years ago there was a vote in Russa and Josph Stalin was there 7th Favorite leader of all time so he wasn't that bad of a leader. There have been many other leaders throught out history how have done equaly bad things but scince we all still fear Communisum we see him as evil. I am not sayong that he was very nice but he wasn't the worst person ever
Stalin was definetly the worst leader russia has ever had. His paronoia cost millions of his own people the life. The only reason Stalin can be the 7th best, is because since the tsar they've had around 7-8 leaders. Another reason can be that Stalin made Russia (soviet union) the massive power it became through WWII and the cold war. Leaders like Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko isn't really known for doing anything really constructive for Russia.
Bill: well put!
Bill, I think the fact that someone can actually post “Cheney makes Stalin look like Bambi” proves Cheney isn’t worse then Stalin.
But some people are so hysterical over the Bush Administration, you can’t convince them otherwise.
some people are retarded (like you) and they think being the world's police force is somehow ok while killing and plundering
Political extremism by both parties is why neither is effective. “We the people…” has been changed to “We the fanatics… (are louder than you, and will do everything possible to silence you). Again, both sides…
evan: I guess it proves the old adage about everything in moderation.
It would interesting to count up the number of people oppressed or killed under British, French, Dutch and American goverments while Stalin was in power.
You have a point there sir.
Estimates for America range from 5 to 8
to Loose Cannon; The cognitive dissonance going on in your post astounds me:
“Like Bambi? If you really fear that you might be shipped off to a labor camp for your political views, then I suggest you either leave this country or seek mental health treatment.
It’s obvious you know nothing about Stalin, his purges, the forced labor camps in Siberia he implemented nor the 5 year plans that killed millions.”
In the first paragraph you suggest another poster leave the country, and in the second you denounce Stalin for purging people from his country.
More chillingly, in the USSR many were forced into mental health treatment for criticizing the regime, because the workers state was “necessarily” in the interest of the worker, and so one would have to be crazy to criticize it. And as you said earlier: “To even suggest Bush/Cheney/Rove are in the same league is a sure sign of mental illness.”
But let me be clear, I agree with you that Bush/Cheney are nowhere near these guys. However, dalandzadgad is entitled to his opinion, and to suggest that he leave the country or enter an asylum because of his opinions is a clear symptom of totalitarianism.
While we’re at it lets add the bombing of Dresden, if you live in the south I’m sure Sherman, Grant, and Lincoln would be the top 3, if you lived in Gaul the top 10 would consist of all Romans, if you were the Red Sox you’d say the Yankees. Look, this is a subjective list created by Jfrater. While America certainly hasn’t be perfect (the interment of the Japanese citizens during WWII comes to mind) I don’t think one single leader has been “evil” enough to take the spot of one of those listed above.
Anomie- Why would anyone want to live in a country where they fear being shipped to a prison work camp?
My suggestion was sincere: If you really live in a country where you fear you will be sent to a prison work camp, ala Stalin’s purges, then move!
If Cheney does make Stalin look like Bambi, as dalandzadgad has insists, then why would anyone choose to stay there?
Allow me to put it in another way: If I lived in the USSR during Stalin’s dictatorship and had the freedom to leave, I would certainly have done so. If I truly believed Cheney makes Stalin look like Bambi, then I would leave!
Also, I’m very sincere when I say that dalandzadgad should seek mental health treatment, but by no means am I advocating he/she be forced to submit to such treatment.
I would also suggest this treatment for anyone claiming to have had ***** with aliens, having shook hands with Bigfoot, or had dinner with Elvis last night.
Trying to turn your childish insults into a good argument is pathetic.
I do not agree that Judas should be on this list Joe, if it were Jesus’ destiny to die for our sins then Judas played a important role in that. New Studies and what some believe may be a new Testament show that Judas was Jesus’ most trusted friend and had to be convinced by Jesus to do what he did. Some believe that Judas did this knowing full well he’d burn for it, but in doing so saved humanity. I think its interesting. If this were true that would make Judas one of the Bibles biggest heroes.
A few people I think would have made great additions to the list,
Nero
Gilles de Rais (spelling)
Elizabeth Bathory (although it does say men)
Albert Fish (his numbers werent high but he was pure evil)
clowns, just clowns in general. They’re pure evil and everyone hates them, i mean have you seen the movie IT?
the clown in It was a front for something much darker, but I agree clowns are creepy.
Midian: Bathory is in the notable omissions – Fish is on another list here, Gille de Rais is also on another list here – but I agree, he was evil (though he did repent in the end), and Nero is a well worthwhile addition that I forgot to add to the omissions.
gnome: the a-bomb was definitely bad, but it put an end to far worse atrocities.
evan: I did a top ten phobias – fear of clowns is on it
Joe: Iscariot was definitely evil if you consider that Christ was God, but as many readers will debate that point, he is not included. Thank you for mentioning him though – a worthy addition.
All you liberal head cases need to take your head out of your own ass. Bush and Cheney meant well with invading iraq and afghanistan. While i know you supported the beating and rape of women done in both Iraq and Afghanistan by the hundreds of thousands, those women didint. Get a clue and quit wining like little girls. Its not America’s fault that the psychotic musltim fanatics cant get thru their jihadic sculls american forces will leave once they stop attacking.
god
By whatever name you refer to the supreme deity, more evil has been done in the name of organized religion than by any government or individual in history.
Well, thats just rubbish. Religion has given many people a reason to live and do good. Shown them how to live a good and moral life. I agree that some, have taken the teachings of their religion whatever it may be, to the extreme, but I would say thats the real problem, fanatacism. Thats still pretty much people, guns dont kill people, people kill people.
The problem is not religion, it’s religious fanatism and fear of losing power. When you obtain power you become corrupt. That’s the problem with the church and other religious organizations. It’s not the religion itself, is the leaders. Christianity clearly opposes killing, it’s just that the church hasn’t followed that well because of the aformentioned reasons. Besides the list is about people, not organizations, individual religious leaders haven’t kill as much people as here, however I would agree that if this was a list of most evil organizations, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the catholic church (despite me being catholic).
I guess it’s just coincidence that the most murderous ideology of the 20th century (Communism) has at its core militant atheism that seeks to destroy religion.
Marx called religion “the opiate of the masses.”
The Soviets imprisoned and murdered millions of Jews and Christians for the crime of religious belief.
The Chinese communists murdered millions of Christians for their faith and continue to persecute them to this day.
The Cuban communists deliberately targeted religious people for imprisonment, torture, and murder, as did other Communist regimes in Latin America.
In each of these cases, the murderous advocates of Communism recognized a natural foe in religious people. I’d say being on the side of the religious is a safe play if you want to make a moral decision.
another for the list: General Shiro Ishii.
where are J bush??
thats is a vicious list…the eeveeer same list…
i can’t see saddam hossein,person who killed many people of iraq and iran,
i object to first name in list,ayatollah khomeini was an spiritual man,he was the man who led the evolution of Iran,
what is your criteria for this ranking?
if you want to know about him refer to iranian people who know him,not someones who introduce him an evil man just for this reason he opposed them,because their interest endangered after the revolution,if there is shortcomings after the revolution,we shouldn’t blame all on him,
it is absolutely unfair to call him an evil man.
check out this link for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruhollah_Khomeini
Whatever it is that you are smoking, I want some of it. Khomeini hung his own relatives. No true Persian would ever call him anything less than evil in every sense of the word. Take that from a true Persian! But I would agree that Saddam would be a comfortable addition to the list and I would add Mohammad to it also, for his contributions to evil and making the world a worse place.
Just remember….these men could have been more evil than they were.
this is a collection of progressive leaders with real bareballsack drive.
Hirohito? I think Tojo was more evil.
sorry, forgot to add that according to the bible, the deity himself has killed thousands if not millions through fire, flood and generalized mayhem.
DUDE, mao has supposedly killed around 30 MILLION… how could he be an honorable mention?
and what about whoever is in charge of saudi arabia; they have “religous” police that go around and beat people not following the state religon, and millions have been mass murdered
dude… you are really idiot for beliving your contry's propaganda!
No…Mao killed many more…30 million is just the figure for the great leap forward period, which lasted 5 years
Mao actually killed 70 million people, not 30 million.
m: I really don’t think Khomeni lead the evolution of Iran – I would say he lead it back to the middle ages and made it a country of repression. That is why he is here.
Justin: Mao is definitely evil, but I put the North Korean on the list because his legacy of Stalinized government continues to this day (though through his son).
actually, the middle east, as a whole, was much better in the middle ages than they are now. modern Islamic thought ( burkas, treating women like *****, etc.) only came about sometime in the 1800's. they made all that stuff up.
Yeah, finally a Belgian in one of these lists.
Too bad it’s this list though.
tony3s: that is true indeed. There might be another if I do a top 10 greatest restaurants – Belgium rates very high with the Michelin guide I hear.
Why didnt you mention columbus or cortez,pizarro,custer?
They were pretty much a medival version of nazis
Custer was just an idiot, cortez was thrown into an untenable position by one of his subordinates (and you can't really blame him for smallpox).
FE: I’m not sure I get your point: God is evil because of the acts committed in his name?
In that case, I’d surely like to add Karl Marx and Frederick Ingles.
More cruelty and mass murder have been committed for their ideal of social equability then any figure in history. Between Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, and other socialist/communist movements leaders, at least 100 million deaths can be attributed, not to mention torture, forced famines, and labor camps.
The Spanish Inquisition, which lasted from 1476 to 1834, killed an estimated 3,000 to 5,000, while Pol Pot alone is said have killed 2 million, 1/3 of the population of Cambodia, in just 3 years, all in the name of social progress.
Why is Cromwell on your ‘honourable mentions’? That man helped liberalise and transform England, as well as win the Dutch War and allow more freedom of speech than ever before.
As for recommendations, Hitler is a fairly easy choice, but there were worse Nazis such as Goebbles, Goering and Mengele.
And also, General Shiro Ishii, the man in charge with the most horrific death camp in history: Unit 731
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731
JT: ever hear of the Siege of Drogheda or the Sack of Wexford? Outside of England he is considered a tyrant. Thanks for the other mentions – very appropriate. I did consider Mengele for the list but went with Hitler for the same reason I went with Stalin and Hirohito – while they did not directly commit the atrocities, they sanctioned or planned them.
So Khomeini made the list. Where’s Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson? Khomeini is no more evil than these guys, he just plays for the enemy team therefore you consider him evil. Partisan religious politics at its worst
sad.
don't worry, this site is not a scholarly and intellectual sound research, is only a game. Don't take it too seriously…
I reckon Pablo Escobar was quite an evil fella’ too.
Jeremy – While Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell are not my favorite people, I hardly consider their buffoonery even close to the tyrannical and murderous level of Khomeini.
Khomeini was far more evil then Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell. In early 1989, Khomeini issued a fatwa calling for the assassination of Salman Rushdie. This wasn’t just an opinion, that Rushdie should die, but rather a religious edict that “it is incumbent on every Muslim to employ everything he has got, his life and wealth, to send him to Hell.”
While this alone doesn’t make him among the most evil, it is certainly head and shoulders above Robertson or Falwell.
i cant expect this from your site.
i know that it is not your fault.
its someone else who introduce him unfair.
i expect that you search and know him truthful.
you must search about all of EVIL MAN then take this link on your site.
i think you and all of them who are agree with this
EVIL MAN are the opposite of Islam revolution.
i want to add this at last for your knowing Islamic
revolution of iran is the one of the best
Where is Kyser Soze????
Mark – Maybe he’s with Darth Vader and Lord Voldemort on the most fictitious evil people list!
Have our public schools so deteriorated that some people can tell between fictional characters and real people??
Hehe – great comments – keep it up
Loose Cannon,
Enthusiastic seconds on Karl Marx and Frederick Engels!
PSGInfinity: Unfortunately, I think we’ve become a world where good intentions matter more then actual results.
People like Karl Marx, Che Guevara and VI Lenin are revered for their philosophy and intent, but the results of their misguided notions have brought about more agony and misery in the world then anyone else.
Perhaps not evil in themselves, they should be viewed by history as fools but instead are put on t-shirts and hailed as heroes. How sad.
the same discourse about intentions goes for the bush administration when one denies the existence of economic interests behind some propaganda disguised plan: You can expect to liberate a country when you are really causing more damage and therefore, end up legitimately falling in this list.
And now, that is sad.
Evil intentions. George Bush has been put upon by more misinformed people than anyone there is. Barrack Obama is continuing and even escalating the same polices. Why not put him here too. If you think going into Iraq and Afghanistan was so terrible and innocent people who no one in the world will take off of our hands are imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay. Well then why not add Obama. And by the way philosophies that lead someone to mass murder people like Che Guevara are not misguided. And if you think that Marx and Lenin and Guevara had good intent that having your rights extinguished and being murdered if you don’t go along is good you have real problems.
tjgrs:
You should know that most of Southeast Asia (China, N&S Korea, Philippines, etc,) feels RAPED by Japan ruled by Hirohito. The part written here doesn’t do justice to the actual damage he did to the rest of the world. So what if he was a hero in Japan? Look at it from the bigger perspective. Go and say that to the rest of Asia that had to suffer and couldn’t develop as fast because their people were killed/raped. It’s all in the perspective.
someguy: “It’s all in the perspective.”
Exactly. Which is why many Americans can’t see why Bush or Cheney should be on this list. Ask the rest of they world about the damage the Bush Administration has done.
Cat Skyfire: “However much some may dislike his politics, we have no real expectation that, next year, they will mystically change the Constitution, publicly shoot all who oppose them, and then declare themselves Dictator for Life.”
They have already dramatically changed the Constitution, nothing mystic about it. They have publicly humiliated and falsely imprisoned those who are in opposition in the name of the Patriot Act. While Bush hasn’t secured the title of Dictator for Life, money and power has guaranteed that he and his cohorts will continue to influence the decisions of the government.
Isn't Patriot Act a bit alike Hitler's Enabling Act after the Reichstagfire?
There are many "coincidences" between them
Geez, another crazed leftist!
In 1999, Time Mag. ran a poll of who should be named ‘Person of the Century.’ I remember reading forums of people who weighed in with the most significant persons who effected all of our lives over the last century, for good and bad; Einstein, Hitler, Stalin, Churchill, FDR, JFK, etc.
Invariably, some religious freak would submit Jesus. Not that He wasn’t influential over the centuries, but ‘Person of 20th Century’? They would almost always argue that ‘He Lives!’ and therefore qualifies.
C’mon! Get your head on straight. Even if you believe ‘Chimpy McHitlerburton’, connived a nation into overthrowing two of the world’s worst regime’s, do you really believe, in the complete annals of history, he or Cheney are the most evil or even comparable to people like Pol Pot, Hitler and Stalin, who each murdered millions???
Have you been so indoctrinated by the leftist media in this nation and abroad that you’ve lost all ability to rationally and logically segment really evil people from, at most, the misguided?
Given a choice by the rest of the world, I would suspect the results would lead to a list very similar to the above. Most people are rational and not insanely obsessed, unlike the crazed left-wing nuts in this country.
Lucy: “They have publicly humiliated and falsely imprisoned those who are in opposition in the name of the Patriot Act.”
Fine, provide the name and sourced article of those who’ve been imprisoned and ‘publicly humiliated’ just for opposing the Patriot Act.
Like it or not, the Patriot Act was passed by both the House and the Senate, and legally signed into law by the President. And while I don’t personally agree with all it’s provisions, circumventing it is illegal.
Simply opposing it isn’t.
Opposing ***** laws isn’t illegal, but manufacturing, selling or use of it is, in most areas. See the difference?
I’m glad to see Stalin made the top slot, though I agree that Marx, the rich snot, should bear some philisophical blame for the hundreds of millions of deaths caused by communism.
One could wish that those who quail and shiver under the hideous shadow of the “Patriot Act” would somehow sideslip through time and enter, say, Communist Moscow in the 1950′s, or the Killing Fields of Cambodia, or the stadiums of Rome where Christians were burnt alive in oiled torches.
Perhaps you could add “American Public Schools” to a list of crimes against humanity. No one who actually learned history would ever mention our government and leaders in the same breath as these monsters.
Every law that was made in account of September eleventh was only made for one purpose. The suppression and control of the American people. Do you know that if you leave this country and get ride of your citizenship to it, THAT YOU CAN BE PULLED BACK WITHIN FIVE YEARS OF YOUR LEAVE!!!! LOL!!, YOU CANNOT ESCAPE THE United States, ROFL. When this countries economy crashes and everyone wants to expatriate they will all be stuck**!! INCLUDING ME and I love it.
I do not know why, but I love chaos and fighting.
People crack me up though! They drive home in your V8 trucks and step into your 3 bedroom, insulated, plumbed, electric able, internet and television able houses THAT HAVE FOOD STOCKED NECK HIGH AND FRESH WATER and flick on the TV and SUCK IT IN. Its like you do not realize what you really have. ALSO its this same view that is the same reason why the democrats have gained numbers. Its like democrats are the exact people that take for granted what they have to the max. More government??? We the people are too poor??? HEY let the rich guy be rich if he is going to put gas in my gas tank cheaper than the other rich guy. We split monopolies and no one gets to big so the competition is good. Every free civilization comes to a point where the rich are far to rich and the poor are far too poor and eventually it leads to the crashing of the that society and eventually the entire civilization usually gets attacked in its weakness. Now we know that fighting about who’s too rich is bad. So? why do we do it then???
HA, HA, HA, IT makes me sick when people argue about politics. You know why??? BECAUSE ITS INVIGORATING. YOU CANT DO SHAT about the bad things happening in the world, so just get over it and accept that the end is near, unless we want to agree ON SOMETHING FOR ONCE!! MUTUAL agreement COULD SAVE THE WORLD. It doesn’t matter what anyone does or says anymore, there will always be ignorant people in this world up until they see meet their maker. You do not own your house, you do not own your car, you do not own yourself, you are a slave to the United States of America and the big times that run it. As it says in the bible this day WILL come and it either has or is very close. I may not be the best at ENglish, but I do know that we are in Iraq for oil, The m16 overheats, ***** will destroy you, trust no one, and nothing I can say in my entire lifetime could change even a single individuals opinion without love. Only through love can you trust another truly, but even then people can falter, and that is why you have to research and be skeptical of something even if it sounds so… so! sweet. If you disagree with what I say you are STUPID, SHUT UP!! lol. laters
That was shocking but really true, and i can only confirm it by seeing that people didn't like what you just said, they don't want to know the truth because they can't take it, they are blind because they refuse to open their eyes, like scary little animals, cattle they are…
Fidel Castro and Ernesto Che Guevara are missing from the list too
Lucy:
I do not agree with you at all. Please don’t connect my comment about Hirohito with your Bush-bashing lame excuse for politics. You want to know something Democrats hate to learn or accept? When the Rwandan genocide was taking place in 1994, the US clearly had knowledge of the incident but Clinton chose to “ignore” it. 8000+ people died per day for 100 days. Oh, and he refused to call it genocide. Type “clinton rwanda” on google and you’ll get his “apology” for not having taken action. Anything politicians do or did (on either side) will always be grilled by the other side. Just don’t be one of those stupid people who say “Bush is evil” without any argument or evidence.
Clinton did not know what was happening, besides, the leaders of Belgium should take the blame since they intentionally left the Africans alone and let them die. The people of Belgium may be more like Leopold than they think.
Lucy:
8000 people dying per day for 100 days is 800,000 people dead.
lucky them rip, dosent get any better then that
