The Index Of Evil: Who's The Bad Guy Now?
Submitted by Bill Bonner via Bonner & Partners,
Bullies, Chiselers, and Zombies
Let us finish our series, “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.” We’ve been looking at how, when everybody’s a lawbreaker, it’s hard to spot the real criminals. (To catch up, here’s Part I, Part II, Part III, and Part IV.)
You’ll recall that we imagined a conversation between two German soldiers on the Eastern Front in 1943.
“Klaus, are we the bad guys here?” one might have asked the other.
Yesterday, we mentioned a few “bad guys.” It was no trouble to find them. Just check the lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, D.C.
But today we move on – beyond the two-bit bullies, chiselers, and zombies – to the really ugly guys.
Who are the evil ones?
It’s easy to see evil in dead people. Stalin... Hitler... Pol Pot... people who tortured and killed just to feel good. The jaws of Hell must open especially wide to let them in.
But who should go to the devil today?
Counting the Bodies
It is not for us to say. But we can make some recommendations:
Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, and Lindsey Graham come to mind, along with John McCain, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, and all the other clownish warmongers.
Of course, we want to be fair and respectful. Each should definitely get an impartial hearing… and then his own lamppost.
But everybody has his own idea about who should swing. So, let’s try to look at it objectively.
Things governments do are quantifiable. We can follow the money. We can count the bodies.
We’re going to make it easy to tell the good from the bad and the ugly with our new Index of Evil.
Which are good? Which countries really are evil?
Russia? Iran? North Korea? The Islamic State? How do we know?
We put our trusty researcher, Kelly Green, on the case.
“Kelly,” we asked, “can you quantify ugliness? Can you help our readers figure out who is good and who is bad? Can you identify who really should be included in the Index of Evil?”
Kelly was not put off by the magnitude and gravity of the job. She went to work on it. What are the marks of evil in a nation? Murder. Assassination. Wars. Torture. False imprisonment.
We’ll forgive theft. All governments steal. (Some more than others.) But we’re talking about “ugly” not just “bad.” So let’s stick to capital crimes and mortal sins, not just venial sins and misdemeanors.
Who kills? Who puts people behind bars? Who tortures?
Kelly added it up, creating the world’s first objective standard.
Who’s the Bad Guy Now?
Three decades after the U.N. Convention Against Torture, torture still happens in 141 countries.
Alas, torture, says Kelly, is not reliably quantifiable. The CIA, for example, calls it “enhanced interrogation techniques.”
To his credit, Senator John McCain – a prisoner of war in Vietnam – has consistently opposed torture and introduced new legislation to ban it just this month.
We also had to take out countries for which data was unavailable. North Korea, for example, is a mystery. ISIS, too, is such a special case that the numbers won’t mean much.
You’ll notice that we included many numbers that were not clearly evil. Military spending, for example, is not necessarily a bad thing. And the homicide rate is not always the fault of an evil government.
Nevertheless, the numbers are there; make of them what you will.
And we included the U.S. for comparison:
So, Klaus, who’s the bad guy?

It's not bad vs good...
It's rich vs poor.
Mr. Bonner did not mention once the word "bank" in his article about evil. "Follow the money", Bonner? Tell me, where does it lead?
Greedscam,, Bernankenstein, Felon Yellen, Hillary!, Slick Willie, GWB, Cheney, John Roberts.
A really evil person would not only kill people but would even brag about it. Oh wait....

Can you please enlighten me and tell me what war Iran has started in the past 20 years?
And the five wars Russia started?
The Big Bad is...
The Debt-Money Monopoly.
Thgeir most effective weapon?
Societal asset stripping, societal impoverishing, societal starvation, societal murdering debt based money.
Its most effective wicked aspect is that everyone wants it because they don't comprehend it.
Please put Tony B-LIAR at the top of the list, together with his "Handler", whose brother appears determined to get into a new war, this time with Russia. God help us.
the british empire was the worse by far............
'This blog summarizes the numerous episodes of genocide committed by Britain in its perfidious and ongoing ambition to maintain its imperialist grip on the indigenous world. For too long the world has been duped by the treacherous and viperous anglosphere which eagerly points their blood-stained finger at demonized foreign (i.e. non-white) individuals and groups to conceal their own massive, unsurpassed and unpunished crimes against humanity.'

And the five wars Russia started?
Anusocracy...
Russia has been involved in FOURTEEN Military Conflicts since 1991.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Russia
I believe that the invasion of Georgia was one that Russia actually started.
The First Chechen War which Russia started ended up in a defeat.
Russia is far from being a Nation at peace.
Whether or not they "started" the conflicts is subject for debate.
But certainly they are not innocent victims in some of the conflicts.
Oh. I know. The USA is far worse.
But painting the Russians as much better is a denial of reality.
I think that you know better than to place ANY HOPE WHATSOEVER into a Nation State of any sort.
They are all fuckin' evil. It is just a matter of degree.
The chart in the article stated wars started in the last twenty years.
Of the six listed on Wikipedia for the last twenty years, only in one might have been started by Russia. There were no wars started against sovereign nations. Compare that to the US which has been at war for ALL of the last twenty years.
Certainly all governments are evil, but the basis for your post is very suspect.
Saakashvili, emboldened by his US/Israeli handlers, invaded and began shelling the predominantly and former Russian Georgia districts of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, much as Prorshenko is doing today in eastern Ukraine today. And for the same reason, to goad Putin into a response. Russia did not start that one, and the empire of chaos and their stooge Saakashvili were given a lesson, in no uncertain terms, in foreign policy.
You need to stop watching TV.
Try 200 Iran is peacefull Amerika are the war junkies .
I consider anyone who kills vicariously as evil.
That would include all those who want governments - governments that killed 400 million in the 20th century.
"It's rich vs poor."
No it is parasitic thieves, grifters and plunderers vs. producers.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
It's not bad vs good...
It's rich vs poor
It really is that simple. I would watch for those Chinese numbers to start changing in a hurry as they are creating millionaires every minute. Their numbers were good because they were ALL poor. They were all so poor that they probably didn't even have a word for it - it was just life.
So if your poor your good and rich your bad?
When the Great Reset kicks in, it won´t be so difficult to name the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
After the Great Reset there will only be the Quick and the Dead.
Fast and Furious
Mad Max, Barbarella and Dr. Strangelove will Escape From New York on Armageddon with 12 Monkeys, and take them to The Cabin In The Woods in District 9 on The Planet Of The Apes to fight World War Z against Godzilla and The Blob.
Seriously: some of Us KNOW without a shred of doubt exactly who the 'bad guys' are.
We will work our way through the puppet/enforcer class untill we get to the Godfathers and settle scores in genteel goodyear radial Bunny Mandela style when the time comes...
Lamp posts are for lamps; but, blown tires are for traitors and their hench(wo)men.
Starting to wonder if the Great Reset is going to happen at all. If every country keeps kicking the can it can keep going forever. The price for a cheeseburger might be 2 months wages but the stock market will still be up.
All the politicians involved in murders, child rape, human trafficking, satanic rituals... basically all the folks attending Bilderberg and Bohemian Grove. Any intelligent and patriotic officer in command of a submarine or a B-52 or a B-2 should man up and do the human thing... order a missile strike on Bilderberg's conference. These fucks are worse than ISIS.
.... and they are ISIS.
To his credit, Senator John McCain – a prisoner of war in Vietnam – has consistently opposed torture and introduced new legislation to ban it just this month.
Yeah except he loves terrorists groups like ISIS, Saudi Arabia, the FSA, Saakashvilli... all folks who LOVE to murder and torture folks all day long
McCain, McConnel, Bernanke, Yeller, Boner, and Obozo. That is a starting lineup of evil, that is hard to beat. They even have managed to scare ole Nutsy Pelosi with how bad they are.
You forgot Bush 1 and 2, Cheney, Rummy, and lucky Larry. Bill Gates, Rockefellor, The Rothschildes. Let's not forget The Clintons.
...and what are these five wars Russia "started" in the last 20 years? Come out trolls!!
And what's this war Iran supposedly started?
An what's with the decimal point in the Total War Casualties column for the Russians?
So the Russians have only had 87.071 casualties for the 5 wars they started in the last 20 years?
The US had 1,472,350 casualties in it's 4 wars?
Did someone not do their due diligence before posting erroneous data?
Yes, Bonner needs to whip his fact-checking serf.
What five wars did the Russians start in the last 20 years?
Good catch, they get 1, Georgia, and that is somewhat debateable.
Georgia started that one if you read the stuff I have read.
Chechnya, Georgia was more a civil war and that was 2 separate conflicts, Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Even if you do count Georgia that was still back in 92-93.
Russia invaded Georgia in 2008.
Russia has been involved in FOURTEEN Military Conflicts since 1991.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Russia
Sorry to disillusion you with the facts.
Whether or not Russia "started it" is debateable.
But an all out invasion of a Foreign Nation is evidential that they were the belligerant agrressor against Georgia in 2008.
They obviously were not defending themselves from a Georgian invasion.
And y'all can junk this all that you want. But it will not change history.
Knock yerselves out.
sigh.
Nothing spawns conspiracy theories like war in a remote place. The latest one comes from a singularly well-placed source. In an interview with CNN last week, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin accused the U.S. of orchestrating the war in Georgia in order to benefit the candidacy of John McCain. He claimed that "U.S. citizens were indeed in the area of conflict" and that "the only one who can give such orders is their leader." Without endorsing Putin's claim, many European officials reportedly harbor suspicions that there was more American involvement in the crisis than previously reported. That may be one reason, some European political analysts say, why European Union leaders this week failed to impose concrete sanctions on Moscow for its Georgian adventure.
- Who Started the War in Georgia?
Survey says Georgia, with its Israeli dual citizen Minister of Defense, started the war by killing Russian peacekeepers, there by agreement and treaty, to protect the Ossetians
i bet they include Ukraine, Syria and Georgia
Here's a comprehensive list of Russian wars. This is only a list of wars Russia was involved in. It does not claim who started the war, although this shouldn't be too hard to research. I did notice that Russia has an impressive score card of victories throughout its history.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Russia
In my "mind", one that supports, uplifts and sustains life, in every thought, word and action, taking that as deep as one's mind (and heart) can comprehend, is basically a good guy. One who see's the world revolving around oneself, where anything and maybe everything is expendable to satisfy that small, egotistical self, even to the extent of intentionally creating damage/pain, directly or indirectly, to anything in ones environment, so as to satisfy personal desires, well, then we have the other side.
'Who should go to the devil now'
my vote would be
third ex wife...
I'll spot you two...after that some of it has to be on you...
you sound like
4th wife....
We have no idea what the Pentagon's budget is. Although trillions went missing into that black hole right before Sept 11th. They are spending way more than 3.8% of our GDP.
I'd add Barry (CIA asset) O'Bama but he's clearly a puppet on a string. His long term goal is not US world domination but rather to live out his life in a state of opulence and crowd adoration.
they're all ugly. not a good looking one in the bunch.
Rockefeller, Soros, Kissinger, the heads of religious hierachies and the Royal crown are a few that are looking high up on the ladder from my perspective. Certainly there may be men behind the curtain who are as of yet unknown. They can be traced through war, industrial scale sadistic pedophelia, large scale suffering and of course... the control of money. What was that saying ... and by their fruits you shall know them.
I think many of us from the less educated to the Very Educated believe that these people and the Wealthy loot consumers, cheat, steal, commit fraud, and rip people off to get rich and even cause or support war, dirty war, prolonged war, and human suffering of refugees, disease, rape, murder.
So it follows that the less educated to the Very Educated might like to limit wealth, power of the wealthy, and the compensation given to private executives.
It follows that people know you can't continue to get rich without hurting or victimizing the poor or the dumb middle class.
Seems to me we can allow people to hurt themselves, take drugs, experiment with sex, change their sex, buy their own medication, learn their own lessons, have self actualization, have self determination,... but their should be a limit on Wealth, ownership, control, compensation at some point.
Guys that fund foundations that may teach bull shit to farmers in Africa, bad medicine to Indians, and promote GMOs and finance programs that lead to suicide due to debt... while who knows the toxicity of the medication they peddle... and all that would be needed is follow up to see the results of the Non-Profit NGO... just like we just have to look at the results of US Wars. It is easy to see the massive negative outcomes of Western Involvement around the world. Why would we think the Wealthy or the Federal Government are only producing good results at home???
Maybe I am suggesting the Opposite of TPP, TISA, TTIP which increase Corporate power and increase compensation for Executives.
May I add Peter G. Peterson to the list?
Clearly Obama is one of the bad guys...
Just curious, which 5 wars Russia started in last 20 years (since 1995), with almost 85,000 casualties?
Whoever made that table was high on the cool aid.
20 years ago was 1995.

How does she define what constitutes a war? There is that old conflating arbitrary and capricious with absolute fact thing that gets humanity into trouble all the time.
And as a side note, genocide counts.
http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/dictat.html
Here is one a little bit more accurate.
http://necrometrics.com/warstatx.htm
Her war counts just don't add up.
Oh yeah...sure...but...just one moment.
84.071
0.071 of a person, is that an unborn child?
84071, it's thousands
European Comma I guess.
it's GWB's IQ.
Not an accurate article. Wars started is wrong. US has started many via proxies. Russia 5? BS
Why blame Q99X2 he didn't do nothin. These be interlinking economic corporations you're talkin about. Get it through your head there is no US as a governing force outside of its borders and within its borders it is only one division of the same economic interlinking corporate western fascist half-global-assed government..
duplicate
"What are the marks of evil in a nation? Murder. Assassination. Wars. Torture. False imprisonment."
What the hell? Public & Private Executives that pretend they don't have responsibility for anything is Evil.
We give a lot to leaders of all kinds. It is a basis of civilization that we respect our elders and our Patriarchs & Matriarchs.
But we look around for actions that indicate integrity & values & principals & a conservative basis whether liberal or conservative... We get Bupkiss.
Leaders in the USA are working for Profit, Revenue, and Self-Promotion. This is Evil.
Did you intentionally leave out blackmail and entrapment?
These are the workhorses of American Evil.
you have the right to remain silent.
That's not what Nuffin says, 99.
Let's start out with anyone worth over a billion. That includes all those philanthropists who give away what they should give back.
What about Senator Kelly Ayotte?
-
"Alas, torture, says Kelly, is not reliably quantifiable."
Alas, US Politicians are not Quantifiable. Fixed it.
There is little relationship between these three, Bill Bonner:
- What a Politician says in Campaign
- What a Politician says in Office
- What a Politician does, what his actions are
Who give a crap what John McCain says.
If this is the best they can come up with after considerable research might as well have given those funds to JB, JO, and GW to come up with something more tangible.
What a disappointment!

First get Kissinger and Brzezinski swinging from lamp posts. Then we'll talk again.
IRAN has NOT started any wars in over 400 years... Truth is best people...
My starting list is as follows :-
Vichy DC ( Clinton Clan, Bush Clan { including Skull & Bones }, Obama Administration, CIA, World Bank, BIS, IMF, NSA/BOOZE, GE, . . . .
KINGDOM of Sodomy
House of Windsor, GCHQ, Thatcher, Blair, City of London
House of Orange
Israel, Mossad,
France, French secret service, Sarkozy , Hollande . .
George Soros
The House of Orange is at the top of the shit heap... Don't forget the greatest mass murdering traitors in American history, the Rockefellers.
Before becoming the first British king of the Hanoverian line in 1714, George I (who spoke more German than English) had been the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneberg (der Herzog von Braunschweig-Lüneberg). The first three royal Georges in the House of Hannover (also known as the House of Brunswick, Hanover Line) were also electors and dukes of Brunswick-Lüneberg. Between 1814 and 1837 the British monarch was also the king of Hanover, then a kingdom in what is now Germany.
- Apparently from what I've heard all European Royal Families that still exist except for Monaco trace back to Germany
House of Windsor didn't exist till 1917, the family name changed from Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha. Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm was a cousin of the British king.
But I don't know anything about the British Royal families.
There really isn't anything to know about the royals except in the last 100 years the males shown a taste for previously-used pussy.
I bet Rich Families, Banker Families, and US Political Families have lines of ascension and try hard to emulate a royal lineage, royal traditions... and Secrecy about the Family.
The Rothschild family being the example.
Maybe it is a common human thing. A human desire to be Royal.
"...Abrams pleaded guilty to withholding information from Congress about the Iran-Contra affair. President George H. W. Bush pardoned him in 1992. In 1980, he married Rachel Decter, daughter of neocon veterans Norman Podhoretz and Midge Decter."
The REAL enemy?!? Look no further than Tel Aviv and Crown Heights!
The fun thing about the Rule of Law...
if you place your emphasis there, exert your words and your energy towards the protection of this,
you don't have to waste time playing games like "who is most evil?"
Benjamin Mileikowsky
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzion_Netanyahu]
and his ideological fellow travellers are properly at #2 and rapidly catching up as they have hijacked the US and UK and will reign "for a time".
Forget the low-enders and puppets in the spotlight. What about It's easier to kill a million people..., Zbigniew Brzezinski? What about mass murdering Rockefeller errand boy, Bill Gates? After one good will visit to India 4 years ago Gates left 60,000 kids parallelized or dead from the 'Polio vaccine' he brought for them. And don't forget his depopulation partner, Warren Buffet.
To get this in perspective the Salk polio vaccine intentionally spiked with the SV-40 simian cancer virus has killed over 100 million people and is still killing 1 1/2 to 2 million people a year. That is more than Hitler and Stalin combined. And both were put into power as well as Mao by the City of London and Wall Street.
it states that russia has started 4 wars in the last 20 years, what wars.
russia vs georgia was started by georgia and that idiot president they had, who now is a governor of odessa.
russia in afghanistan. that war was not started by russia.back then the soviet union was asked by the afghanistan government to come over and help the communist government also it wasnt russia it was the soviet union fighting for communism wich is an ideology.back then you were not russian,ukrainian etc but part of the soviet union and karl marx and engles ideology.
i cannot think of anywhere else
2nd chechen war would be fair, imho. But that's really it. And given that Chechen terrorists were being increasingly armed by CIA, [Jewish neocons and other militarists like Zbig got in bed there, and later, Ukraine - unless you think they really were suddenly concerned with the well being and freedom of Chechnya..]
Who can blame them?
Georgia is routinely presented by the usual suspects as Russian aggression, an Orwellization later perfected in Crimea/Ukraine.
How odd that Georgia's minister of defense was one of Georgia's handful of Jews, a dual citizen who worked and studied in Israel, and absolutely ust have been a Mossad asset.
They killed 16 Russian peacekeepers as part of an overall assault on the Osstetians who manifestly preferred Russia to Georgia.
They actually count 5 wars started by Russia, and only 4 by US during the last 20 years (since 1995), so US-wise it's Sudan, Irak, Afghanistan, Haiti, Kosovo at least. And this is only the count for the countries with direct US-involvement.
So, the author is biased at best.
When the author counts in Ukraine and Georgia as war's started by Russia he's simply dead wrong, both are wars initiated by NATO (which is in fact US), maybe as part of a strategy to bring Russia in submission.
And don't mention the middle-east colour-revolutions in the name of democracy and peace...

AFAIK, Hitler didn't murder anyone. Buuut, the fuckers "just following orders" were only too happy to do the wet-work.
Quit focusing on the politicians. Put some pressure on the cops and soldiers. These are the truly evil people, because they turn a despot's "wicked plan" into bloody reality.
"Order-followers" ... the world's vermin.
And, you can just fuck off, draping yourself in that flag or Oath. You only wear them in an attempt to shield yourself from responsibility.

Four wars in the last 20 years for the US. Who is this fucking Bell End trying to kid. The article is complete Nonsense.
Tyler, I admire the fact that you took on this ambitious topic, but this is probably the most biased and misleading post I have seen on ZH in a long time.
Why was Israel excluded from the analysis?
On a per capita basis it has to be the worst of the lot - especially when you count all the dirty wars that the US was duped by the cabal into fighting on behalf of Israel (Iraq for example).
hmmm

How typical ofZH commentary. Jew hatred and Russian ass kissing. The paid flaks at the FSB are busy today. I find the false differentiation between Russian imperialism and Soviet imperialism highly amusing. Perhaps one of you can tell us where all the Russians went from 1917 until 1990. Or better yet tell us the difference between "national socialism" and "socialism in a single state".
Maybe you could start with this guy.
An Israeli student finishes high school without ever hearing the name “Genrikh Yagoda,” the greatest Jewish murderer of the 20th Century, the GPU’s deputy commander and the founder and commander of the NKVD. Yagoda diligently implemented Stalin’s collectivization orders and is responsible for the deaths of at least 10 million people. His Jewish deputies established and managed the Gulag system.
Wow you ignorance is astounding.
This bullshit story is propaganda to help judge the level of hate of Israel. People wrote articles like this in the 1920's and 30's to do the same thing. The jewish cartel that runs the banking declared war on the German Mark to destroy Germany this is not my opinion. They were so bold that they even printed in the newspapers.
Don't be fooled by these stories the numbers don't add up and be careful on how you respond to the propaganda.
What a waste of blog space....
Bonner clearly needs to go out into the real world and meet real evil, how do you spell naive?
He's only alive AND not a slave cuz the Roosevelt, Churchill, WWII warmongers shut the 3rd Reich down.
Admittedly, due to the PC crowd aka Bonner our "warmongers" are not allowed to shutdown/totally eliminate the bad guys anymore...
He's also alive because he's not an Arab living near Israel or in Iraq, Syria, Liibya, etc. etc. Or an African living in you-name-it.
Thank you, Jesus, for making me a white American.
Confronting evil is a choice like any other...https://shutupnsing.wordpress.com/2015/06/14/the-sunday-morning-tune-up-...
Nice anti-US screed. China is obviously a little corner of utopia. NOT. This type of article with carefully chosen "supportive data" is guaranteed to get the mouth-breathers all worked up and howling in agreement, but it is completely worthless in terms of useful content. Thanks for wasting my time.
You know its time to stop reading ZH when it becomes a 1:1 outlet for .ru propaganda....
Well intentioned article, but one sided and shallow. The United Socialist States of America were doomed in the early 1900s when Progressives (proto-Marxist/Communists) made their way into the public institutions, preceded by the toxic wave of Eastern European Bolsheviks of the Semitic Persuasion. As Diane West revealed, the Roosevelt Administration was infected and infested by this treasonous and subversive virus.
Today we are living off our past achievements and assests, left by those who cared as much or more for community, country, God and family-not necessarily in that order.
Still have faith that "America's best days lie ahead? Google Mark Dice or enter in YouTube and watch the sidewalk interviews of your fellow Amurkians.
