Telling world’s wicked tales

Another Bill O’Reilly book is set to release. What a shocker for even the most unsuspecting readers. The title is “Confronting Evil: Assessing the Worst of the Worst.”

An advance copy from St. Martin’s notes that evil began with the story of Cain and Abel in Genesis. O’Reilly then targets figures like Genghis Khan, Caligula, Henry VIII, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao, as well as contemporary figures like the Ayatollah, Putin, and drug cartels. It’s a tale of good versus evil.

O’Reilly shares that young Vladimir Putin engaged in violent rat hunts, enjoying the act of exterminating pests. His father, often enraged, would beat him for his “lack of discipline,” and Putin “endured the attacks silently.” By page 210, it mentions that he slept on a heap of rags, with dirty clothes and handmade blankets. By 15, he led a gang of teenage delinquents on streets littered with garbage, vodka bottles, and cigarette butts. Six-year-olds wielded weapons, assaulting others’ eyes and noses, causing blood to splatter on the pavement. Putin, laughing, “celebrated victory with beer.”

O’Reilly: “Perhaps today the world’s richest, born in the slums of Leningrad, he’s now worth minimum $250 billion.”

How a vile regime rises

“The Worst of the Worst”: Page 133. Adolf Hitler. Average looking, 5-foot-9, 170 pounds, gray-blue eyes. Never smiles.

1920 the Nazi party is formed. Hitler tries for a coup 1923. Ten years later, is elected chancellor. Concentration camps begin. The “sadistic killer is infamous for brutality toward Jews and homosexuals.”

He had no girlfriend, no chums, rumors of “an incestuous relationship” with his teenage niece Angela Raubal, who shot herself dead at 23 on Sept. 18, 1931.

Midnight. June 30, 1934. Germany’s Bad Wiessee. Each lamppost hangs a 10-foot bloodred swastika banner. One hundred heavily armed men. Hats feature a skull emblem. The SS — Adolf Hitler’s personal army. Execution squads. “Night of the Long Knives.” Beginning of the end. Germany’s economy in free fall. Seeing himself in politics, he already commands 2 million members. Each swears a blood oath to Adolph Hitler.

A global scourge

More evil outlined in O’Reilly’s Chapter 12: The Drug Cartels. Feb. 2, 2012. Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman — onetime head of the Sinaloa drug cartel — asks the church for blessings. He places a black wig atop the Mother Mary 6-foot church statue then walks half a block to his mansion where masked workers move narcotics with forklifts — heroin, cocaine, marijuana, crystal meth, etc. — and hidden into compartments of cars, SUVs, semitrucks — destination: USA.

It’s 10 bedrooms. Fireplace, pool, gardens, fountains, ocean. Page 225: “El Chapo sips a Mexican 75, tequila mixed with Champagne, at his beachfront villa in Mazatlán. Modern mansion. Smokes a cigar. Views 25 girls between 11 and 15 years old. Selects a 12-year-old for his pleasure.”

On the run from Mexican federales and FBI for years, he was finally captured and brought to justice in Brooklyn. Locked up in Colorado now and an average fentanyl dose costs 10 bucks on the street.

O’Reilly: “I know there’s active evil in the world. I have seen it up close and very personal.

“I’ve spoken to jihadist killers in Guantanamo, serial murderer Ted Bundy, watched Argentine soldiers shoot civilians in Buenos Aires, listened to a Vatican exorcist.”

There exists in Siberia an amusement park. It’s called Dissidentland. When they take you for a ride, they don’t bring you back. A Moscow University prof explained that interplanetary junkets were soon in the cards. “We will be able to travel to Mars, Pluto, Venus.” Asked one student: “Yeah, but when can we travel to America?”

Only in Russia, kids, only in Russia.
