Lethal Politics

Rudolph Rummel, was a professor of political science at the University of Hawaii who did a major study of death. His most important conclusion is that governments are the major killers; that they kill their own people, that far more were murdered by tyranny than died in battle.

His research which he explains in Web Site Credibility leads to the conclusion that freedom brings peace, that democracy brings peace as well as prosperity.

It sounds good to me. It would sound even better if Western governments were not busy destroying freedom but that is the direction they are headed in. Bush turned America into a Fascist State. Obama made it worse by granting himself the right to have ANY American citizen murdered.

Blair has done more than any other prime minister to destroy liberty in England with the connivance of Brown. Cameron is little better, a fluent liar with slimy manner.

Some of his results are on his website at http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/welcome.html http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/

A similar source with similar conclusions is The Black Book of Communism by Stephane Courtois et al. They come to the conclusion that communists achieved 85 to 100 million deaths.

This is the butcher's bill of the Bolsheviks and their successors. They killed, tortured, raped, robbed and destroyed in Russia, China, Cambodia, Cuba, South America, Africa, Eastern Europe and anywhere else they gained the entrée.  Is this a case of a truth too big to see or will not see? Read for yourself. Think for yourself. Decide for yourself. The Wiki decided that that they couldn't pretend that he didn't write this book so they state a bare minimum.
