Could Satan have ruled the world before, and then made humanity forget it?

Have you READ history?

Try Death by Government, by the late R. J. Rummel (and here's his website). The book was published in the 1980s and at that time Rummel had found 162 million government murders in the 20th century (that's IN ADDITION TO war); before his death a few years ago, his tally for 20th century government murder was 262 million or more. More than a quarter BILLION murders. From the book description at Amazon:

Rummel discusses genocide in China, Nazi Germany, Japan, Cambodia, Turkey, Yugoslavia, Poland, the Soviet Union, and Pakistan. He also writes about areas of suspected genocide: North Korea, Mexico, and feudal Russia. His results clearly and decisively show that democracies commit less democide than other regimes. The underlying principle is that the less freedom people have, the greater the violence; the more freedom, the less the violence. Thus, as Rummel says, "The problem is power. The solution is democracy. The course of action is to foster freedom."

Death by Government is a compelling look at the horrors that occur in modern societies. It depicts how democide has been very much a part of human history. Among other examples, the book includes the massacre of Europeans during the Thirty Years' War, the relatively unknown genocide of the French Revolution, and the slaughtering of American Indians by colonists in the New World. This riveting account is an essential tool for historians, political scientists, and scholars interested in the study of genocide.

Rummel makes the point that several governments in the 20th century turned their nations into a literal Hell on Earth. He is clearly correct that POWER is the problem -- the power to coerce with impunity can NEVER be used without ultimately creating evil -- but he is clearly wrong that "democracy" is the long-term answer, as America's Founders understood. We are seeing THAT truth more clearly every day now.

Also consider The Black Book of Communism: Crimes Terror, Repression., written by a group of European leftists (most were actual Marxists). As with Rummel's book, the descriptions of widespread evil -- often depraved beyond belief -- inflicted on innocents is enough to keep one awake at night for months after reading. And (in both books) there are photos to make the experience even harsher.

Today's incipient Global Hell on Earth would be merely the latest and widest version to be imposed on innocent men, women, and children. Thank God for Trump, Q, the White Hats, the people on this board, and every other person and group world-wide working to oppose evil and to create a healthy world. May we prevail, and soon.
