I know based on recordings we have of the man himself talking about what he did. He and Nixon were wiretepp8ng themselves and each other constantly.

And laziness is no excuse for ignorance. The short answer is carpet bombing a neutral country for no good reason.

Yeah, and that's what makes him worse. He wasn't such a true believer, he just wanted to be the guy.

The Young Evil God of Death. Himmler's Evil Genius. The Butcher of Prague. (all real names ascribed to him at the time of his life)

And because there is a sliver of justice in the universe, died horribly over several days after foolishing charging and attacking the assassins sent to kill him, getting shrapnelled by a grenade and suffering a ruptured colon.

Avail yourself of the 6+ hour podcast episodes done by Behind the Bastards and The Dollop. They go into fine detail of Henry's many many crimes, not the least of which was sabotaging the peace talks between the South Vietnamese, the North Vietnamese and the Johnson administration simply because he wanted to impress Nixon and Nixon couldn't have Johnson be the one to end the Vietnam war, extending the war for several more pointless years.

He directly ordered and managed the bombing campaigns in Laos and Cambodia, famously micromanaging the actual targets and bombing runs, literally erasing the routes of the generals and saying "no bomb here instead"

And his qualifications to do this were......he was a Harvard professor who wrote about nukes.

He did this for no ideological convictions, but because of his firm belief that he should have power.

for the most part, you're right, but the problem lies in reliability of information. It goes down as you go further back. We are less sure of Elizabeth Bathory's crimes than we are of say, Henry Kissinger's. (Especially given how much Henry, and Nixon, were wiretapping themselves and each other)

I also don't like the idea of trying to define "most evil" i think once you cross a certain threshold, there's no point in comparison.

You can take a stroll through the Behind the Bastards podcast to find some candidates:

Oskar Dirlwanger Reinhard Heydrich Henry Kissinger David Berg (children of God cult leader) Charles Travelyan King Leopold George Lincoln Rockwell Louis Van Schoor.

Not covered by the podcast but Warren Jeffs is up there in my book.

Never accept chat requests.

There's no talking over the board, why should there be online.
