74: Idi Amin Jun 02, 2024

Show notes

The man in our lesson today, Idi Amin, wasn’t only a rotten dictator; he was a literal cannibal, and one of his favorite ways to have his enemies killed was with a hammer to the head. Sadly to say, the hammer was one of the more merciful ways Idi had people murdered. Which I can’t even wrap my head around. Let’s peer into his mysterious life and see all the rotten things that this horrible man did to those around him.Magic mirror on the wall, who is the most rotten one of all?

73: Pol Pot May 27, 2024

Show notes

The man in our lesson today, Pol Pot, was a Cambodian dictator communist who orchestrated the Cambodian genocide of over two million humans. No one was safe under his leadership. It didn’t matter if you were Christian, non-religious, rich, or poor. All to create a society based on agriculture that he was hopeful would turn into a fully communist one. How did he do that? By enslaving as many people as he could and forcing them to work in the fields and farms after he took away all of their worldly possessions.

72: David Berkowitz May 20, 2024

Show notes

All dogs bark, who would ever think that there was something nefarious behind their cute little faces? David Berkowitz, that’s who! He murdered six people and wounded seven others with a gun in New York City in 1977, and it all stemmed from a barking black lab who David believed was the literal Devil.

71: Madame Delphine LaLaurie May 13, 2024

Show notes

I first heard about Madame LaLaurie from American Horror Story Coven, my favorite season. Played by Kathy Bates, she gave the character depth and eventually some humanity. There was even a point when I felt sympathy for the character.The real Delphine deserves no sympathy, though! After researching her for this lesson, I learned that she really was a heartless monster.It’s no wonder people claimed that she was a demon.I wanted to learn what was real and what was made up about her crimes, and I’m sad to say most of what you’ve heard was true.So, let’s see if we can dust off her history and find out how anyone could have been so rotten.

Today’s lesson is about a man you’ve probably never heard of. He is yet another failed dictator who committed countless crimes against humanity and died before he could face judgment, Slobodan Milosevic, The Butcher of the Balkans.He was the former President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and, along with other leaders, started a deadly war that I hadn’t even heard of but was a living nightmare for those unfortunate enough to live there.Genocide, forcible deportation, murder, racial and religious persecution, inhumane acts, imprisonment, torture and extermination. The list of crimes is almost unending, and today, we shall see what we can learn from such a festering, rotten man and turn the evil he spewed into the world into something beneficial to us all.Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the most rotten one of all?
