52: Leopold II Dec 31, 2023

Show notes

Racial injustice is an ever-looming shadow that clings to our world. It has been happening since the first of mankind gained sentience and even with all of the time and history to learn better. Ignorance and racism still exist.
We are all of one Earth, and it sickens me that imaginary lines that have been created to divide us from one another.
There have been countless people throughout history and today who feel the opposite, and we’ve covered some of them here.
Today’s lesson is about the deadliest king in all of history, and that’s saying something.
His crimes against humanity are on par with that of Hitler, but I had never heard about him.
His name was King Leopold II, and he was the King of Belgium from 1865 to 1909. During that time, he was responsible for the murder of over ten million people in the Congo Free State, and it made him the richest man in the world during his lifetime.
Grab those lanterns, and let’s learn about how money is the root of all evil.

51: Gandhi Dec 24, 2023

Show notes

Violence is defined as “behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something. Even when someone takes a personal stance against violence, there are still many other ways to cause harm.While he certainly isn’t the worst person we’ve covered, Mohandas Gandhi wasn’t a saint either, even though there are many who say otherwise.
It is true he did a great many things to help others during his lifetime, but we know history is never so black and white.
Our lesson today is about the life of Gandhi and the rotten things he did and said that still cause strife to this day.

50: Al Capone: Yeah, See Dec 17, 2023

Show notes

I like to think of myself as a wise guy; by wise, I mean I can spot a rotten person from a mile away on a foggy day with my eyes closed.
Yeah, see! There is one right there!
I didn’t have to look hard to find the man in today's lesson. There have been books, shows, movies, and everything else you can imagine about his life of crime and the hard time he served.
Al Capone was a notorious mob boss who ran Chicago and had the police in his back pocket.
He was eventually caught due to tax evasion, but not for all of the rotten things he did!
Let’s learn about the life and crimes of one of history's most famous mobsters and find out if he was rotten to the core or if it was just untreated syphilis!
Magic mirror on the wall, who is the most rotten one of all?

49: L. Ron Hubbard: Don't Take Me To Your Leader Dec 10, 2023

Show notes

I have my fair share of knowledge on cults, The cult of Henry Cavil, Gaga, and Dollyisms. I also live in Indiana, after all, the birthplace of the Jim Jones cult, the People’s Temple.
Alas, we aren’t here to learn about him today. I have another cult leader who I believe was just as rotten, only a lot better at hiding the crimes….eventually.
He is the man responsible for the cult, I mean the Church of Scientology, and all thanks to a book, L. Ron Hubbard.
Boy, it doesn’t take much to start a cult…and that’s terrifying.

48: Peter Scully: Thief of Innocence Dec 03, 2023

Show notes

This is rough, but I want to use it to educate everyone on just how big of a problem child trafficking truly is. There are so many in power who are helping to fuel this horrific crime, and as long as they have the shadows to dwell in, they will never come to justice.
He is, by far, the most rotten person we have covered. I did not want to do it at first, but I kept thinking about all of those poor babies who are victims of human trafficking, and this is the only way I know to try to help them.Join me as we shine the light brightly on them and learn about the most Rotten Human that I believe has ever existed, Peter Scully.
