“A Genuine Monster”: 40 Of The Most Evil People Across History That Got Away With It

Andrew Jackson basically orchestrated a genocide and a lot of folks sing his praises to this day.

Andrew Jackson - The Indian Removal Act

>The Removal Act paved the way for the forced expulsion of tens of thousands of American Indians from their land into the West in an event widely known as the "Trail of Tears,...
>
>In the 21st century, scholars have cited the act and subsequent removals as an early example of state sanctioned ethnic cleansing or genocide or settler colonialism

Kissinger.

The blood of countless millions is on his hands, and he remained an accepted and welcomed part of American politics until his death.

In Germany we have Aribert Heim, the butcher of Mauthausen who was on a level with Mengele but never got prosecuted by the allies. Worked as a gynecologist after the war till 1962 when he got tipped off about police at his home so he fled to Egypt.

Augusto Pinochet. Died in 2006 under house arrest, in the lap of luxury, without being tried for multiple charges of human rights violations (including wrongful detention, physical torture, sexual abuse, psychological repression, and just plain murder) and illegal enrichment.

Steve Bannon and Roger Stone were both sentenced to prison for their federal crimes, but had their convictions pardoned by fellow criminal buddy Donnie Jon.

Mao Zedong. Killed as many as 80 million people as a direct result of his policies. The communists still enshrine him as a great leader and national hero and idiots in the Western left take his writings seriously.

Daughters of the Confederacy… they pushed a revisionist view of the Civil War in the south and this idea that it was about states rights and not slavery… also took part in building statues of confederate soldiers and glorifying them. It’s why so many conservatives and people from the south have a positive outlook of the confederacy and that it’s a part of “southern heritage”.

A lot of these comments aren't people who won, but people who lost and just didn't get the punishment people thought they deserved. But a real evil winner? Try the Dole company and what they did with Hawaii.

Pretty much any company found on the tropical fruits aisle or sugar aisle of your local supermarket.

Mobutu Sese Seko, president of then-Zaire. He died in a luxurious exile in Morocco at age 79.

He would have meals flown in from Michelin-rated restaurants in Paris on chartered flights of the supersonic Concorde, because regular airliners weren't fast enough to deliver it fresh enough to his liking. He even spent millions to build a new airport, as none of the existing airports had the 3-kilometer long runway to handle the Concorde.

The average citizen under his rule had an annual salary of less than $150, roughly 50 cents a day.

A single passenger ticket on the Concorde is about $20,000 in today's dolars.

The Marcos family.

This family plundered almost the entire Philippine treasury during Ferdinand Marcos’ two decade rule.

They were exiled to Hawaii for a few years, but they were able to go back to the Philippines nevertheless. They (Imelda (the wife of Ferdinand Marcos), Imee (the daughter of FM), and Bongbong (the son) were also able to run for politics again.

Despite the records being unequivocally clear that the Marcoses plundered the Philippine government, (Imelda was actually convicted, but was never jailed for “humanitarian reasons”) the Marcoses are now back.

Imee is a senator, and Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. is now the president of the Philippines.

Imelda is also still convicted but has still not, and it looks like will never in her life, taste jail time.

Trillions of pesos and tens of thousands of lives lost.

Idi amin of Uganda.

General Francisco Franco, after the end of the Spanish Civil War. Through him, the country endured all manner of brutal unchallenged fascism (and over a decade of near total isolation from the rest of the world) until his peaceful death in 1975.

Koch Brothers.

Dr. John Money's theory behind gender has reached mainstream acceptance in much of the civilized world, despite the unconscionable experiments he performed on innocent children. A truly evil man whom history does not vilify anywhere near enough.

Issei Sagawa.

A small, frail, and loner of a Japanese guy, with some demonic mind. Was obsessed with cannibalism, had a failed attempt at doing so, when he stalked a German woman in university and broke into her place with the intention of killing her to eat her buttocks.

Later he unfortunately succeeds during his stay in Sorbonne, France, when he murdered a Dutch woman whom he befriended (the only one who befriended him I might add) in his apartment after having invited her, performed necrophilia and cannibalism over the span of a few days.

He came from a wealthy family that afforded him an expensive lawyer and got off essentially scot-free on insanity plea. He returned home back to Japan where then he became a superstar. He wrote a bestselling book that detailed the murder and his experience, guest starred in many TV shows to further talk about it. Later died at 73, in 2022.

Genghis Khan.

Was waiting for this. Few people in history, let alone this list, come close to the level of civilisational and cultural death and destruction this man caused. Not only did he get away with it, he died an emperor and spawned a dynasty.

He would starve out entire cities because his army was so big, they would enslave or kill everyone and he would marry his daughters off to kings and whatnot then his daughters would kill them and take over the ruled lands to give to Kahns armies. Throughout his reign Kahn and his armies killed over 40 million people and enslaved twice that many.

Nearly 8 percent of the men living in the region of the former Mongol empire today carry y-chromosomes that are nearly identical to that of Genghis Kahn.

Casey Anthony.

Casey Anthony's crime says more about the American legal system than it does about her.

Wernher von Braun, engineer of the v2, opportunistic nazi, denied his involvement, awarded by Hitler twice in person, used Jewish slave labour denied he knew about it, however there were many accounts of him visiting and encouraging violence to slaves, feared execution at the end of the war, surrendered to the USA and then after the war was lauded and celebrated for getting America to the moon even meeting the president and later being awarded a medal.

General Franz Halder, chief of staff of the German Army (Wehrmacht) from 1938-1942 reporting directly to Adolf Hitler. Halder oversaw the planning for the invasions of Poland, France and Russia (Operation Barbarossa). Among other abominations, he added language into the Barbarossa battle order giving German officers the right to destroy Russian villages and massacre their civilian inhabitants. Thus Halder sanctioned some of the most heinous atrocities committed in all of human history.

Despite Halder’s complicity in war crimes of the greatest magnitude, he wasn’t tried at Nuremberg and was instead allowed to join the U.S. Army as a historian. Recognizing an opportunity to rewrite history, he manipulated the official Army account of the war to elevate the Wehrmacht into a force fighting for a noble cause.

In 1961, the Army, on behalf of President Kennedy, awarded him the Meritorious Civilian Service Award. Halder died in his bed in 1972 at age 87.

The terrorists definitely won when you realize they got our entire society to change because of what they did.
