10 of history's evilest leaders:
1. Pol Pot: Leader of the Cambodian revolutionary group Khmer Rogue, Pol Pot was a communist totalitarian dictator who ordered mass genocide on his own people. His regime imprisoned, tortured and destroyed those who opposed it.
Prisoners were subjected to horrific medical experiments, which often resulted in agonizingly drawn out deaths. Many prisoners, including babies and small children, were executed in the infamous Killing Fields and buried in mass graves. To save bullets, they were killed with pickaxes or smashed against trees.
During his reign as Prime Minister from 1976-1979, his policies led to the deaths of around 2 million people, about 25% of the entire population, from execution, starvation, and forced labor.

Well, Pol Pot regime was overrun by the Vietnamese communist invasion, which was deemed illegal by certain circles.
international law is quite a mess, often supporting tyrants and often disregarding legitimate claims of oppressed.
The Japanese were also planning to launch the plague on the United States. They’d experimental already on the Chinese.
Japanese Army Unit 731.
But we need to apologize for dropping the bombs to end the war, says Obama...
100 million+ murdered by their own government in the 20th century.
Fortunately, we have the 2nd Amendment.... for now.
A recollection of a news reel probably of the late 70’s was filmed at the Vietnam/Cambodia border. There were long lines of American 2 1/2 ton trucks taken over by the North Viets (from the South) and intending to drive into Cambodia. My understanding is the Vietnamese actually ran off Pol Pot who escaped to China and given sanctuary there.
You history buffs might recall or dispute this, but his is a memory of a news clip.
It’s unfortunate that this is all sliding into the realm of “Ancient History”. In a nutshell: In 1975 Vietnam and Cambodia went Communist, Cambodia, client of China, on April 17, 1975, South Vietnam on April 30. Vietnam was a client of the Soviet Union. At first the two new Communist countries tried to get along, but there was animosity almost from the start. In part because the KR were truly paranoid nutcases. By 1978 the KR had run the country into the dumper, and was increasingly heading into southern Vietnam to massacre villagers.
By late 1978 Vietnam, who at that time had the second largest army in the world, and they were highly trained after 50 years of fighting the French then the US, had had enough. Christmas Day 1978 they sent 190,000 troops into Cambodia, and went through it like sh*t through a goose, pushing the KR into the forest along the Thai Border, where they remained for the next 20 years, more or less.
So now you had a Soviet client having taken over a Chinese client. The US was never a friend of the KR when it had actual power, but now to recognize the Vietnamese installed government as legitimate would play into the hands of the Soviets, at the same time as the Soviets had invaded Afghanistan. So the US, and others, pushed to keep the KR as the recognized government of Cambodia for UN purposes, to prevent the Vietnamese/USSR takeover from becoming permanent. There was a bit of window dressing in that the US claimed to actually back a three-faction coalition, including two other non-communist groups, and not the KR per se, but the KR were first among equals.
Thailand, as well, and other countries in SE Asia, were less than keen at the prospect of Vietnam being permanently at their doorstep.
It is not misleading to say that the Western Left championed the KR at the time they were butchering their own people, for ideological reasons, and later, when the Vietnamese had taken over all but a sliver of Cambodia, the US and others backed the three faction coalition for geopolitical reasons, that is, to oppose expansion of Soviet influence.
Somehow this has been translated into the false notion that the US backed the KR from the 1970 overthrow of Sihanouk right through to 1993. The left, particularly, has tried to bury their past enthusiasm (basically up to 1978) for what turned out to be a homicidal maniac regime.
Percentagewise, millions of female masculints have genocided 100% of their own children. Their murderous thinking isn't much different than Pol Pot's: inconvient people.
obama aka barry soetero. It all goes back to him.
Yes, that is the biggest Genocide.
Thank you. Yes, the Muslims have it.
We’re facing evil today that would match and surpass any one of them if they’re allowed to accomplish their goals. In the billions, no less.
Mass murder is one of the few things commies are good at - they can kill, torture and make life on earth a form of hell. It's a commie trademark... eff the bastards for all time.
And the Democrats let it happen.
It can happen here.
Yes.
I couldn’t agree more. BHO is one of the evilest people who ever walked the face of the earth. And he’s in his third term and not finished by a long shot.
BHO is an acolyte of Bill Ayers, who said that once they take power they would have to kill 25 million Americans.
Pol Pot? Worse than Walter O’Malley?
Barry’s fourth term. His third term was sabotaging Trump via the bureaucracy. That MFr infested the government with loyal marxist bureaucrats to control all aspects of life and to stop Trump. The Kenyan is an evil SOB BUT Biden I s worse because the chomo wants to be the one who outshines the Kenyan bastard.
Did he kill more people than Cecil B. DeMille?
True.
I’ve seen BHO called a Maoist. He’s a conglomerate of all sorts of vile and wicked things rolled into one. Pure Evil.
The CCP’s forced abortions, even without its communist body count, must top the 67 million in the US.
