Introduction

There are some truly evil people living on the planet. The real problem is some of them are also powerful. Ken Keyes said "Love everyone unconditionally, including yourself", however you don’t have to approve of their actions. Perhaps if these people were to realise how low they are generally held in esteem they might mend their ways. They may be doing their evil deeds because they mistakenly think it will make others respect them.

Corporations

Corporations are synthetic persons with psychopathic personalities. By American law they are required to act without conscience, considering only the interests of the shareholders, not the stakeholders such as the employees, the customers or the people where the company does business.

So all corporations are to some extent evil, but a few have gone well beyond the call to Satanic duty:

Monsanto Monsanto Rain

Greedy exploiter of the third world. Inventor of the terminator gene to make seeds die after one generation. Sued a Canadian farmer for theft when some pollen from their plants drifted into his canola field. Blocks labelling of genetically altered food.

Nestlé Nestle fat kid

Sold baby formula to the third world knowing it was causing infant deaths. Whittled down the price paid to the cocoa farmers to $0.02 per chocolate bar.

Philip Morris/Kraft Kraft dinner

Sold cigarettes to children in the third world as medicine. Lied repeatedly about tobacco safety in the USA. Bribed politicians. They tricked people into destroying their bodies.

Halliburton Halliburton

Gave payments to Vice President Cheney in return for sweetheart no-bid contracts in Iraq. Provided disgusting, unsanitary, overpriced meals to the troops.

Hilda Krieg

Hilda Krieg, artist’s conception

Hilda Krieg gets my vote for the most evil woman living on planet earth. The irony is, she is a deeply religious woman who meddles in other people’s lives fueled by the belief she has a God-given right to do so since God annointed her the planet’s supreme authority on matters of life and death. Primarily she meddles in the lives of terminally ill strangers butting in where she is extremely unwelcome. She heads the Surrey Delta Pro Life Society. She is also a member of Real Women, a group of women opposed to women’s rights. She has been active is suppressing euthanasia rights for decades.

Her dishonesty particularly galls me. She claims to be fighting for the rights of the disabled to avoid being murdered, when no one is calling for killing disabled people. She is really about interfering in the right of people who choose to die when they have had enough suffering and in punishing those who sit to comfort them as they die.

All Terrain Vehicles

ATV damage

I would love to to see the inventors of the all terrain vehicles dragged to death behind their infernal machines. What a disgusting racket! What destruction of fragile ecosystems! They are the very antithesis of what getting out in nature is really about. Makers include BRP (Bombardier who also make the lake-shattering Evinrude outboards), Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Polaris. BRaaaaP!

Motors make noise, and that tells you about the feelings and attitudes that went into it. Something was more important than sensory pleasure — nobody would invent a chair or dish that smelled bad or that made horrible noises — why were motors invented noisy? How could they possibly be considered complete or successful inventions with this glaring defect? Unless, of course, the aggressive, hostile, assaultive sound actually served to express some impulse of the owner.
~ Philip Slater (born: 1927 age: 82), The Wayward Gate: Science and the Supernatural

George Bush

Bush toasting

George W. Bush (born: 1946-07-06 age: 63) is a one-man planet-wrecker. He has done more environmental damage that all presidents that preceeded him combined. He started two wars to steal oil. He managed to convince his followers he is a hero, even though he was caught over and over lying. He is totally without conscience; in other words he is a psychopath. More that any other, he is the man the planet could best do without.

Robert Mugabe

Robert Mugabe

The dictator of Zimbabwe, (born: 1924-02-21 age: 85). He is probably the most selfish, vain, corrupt, sadistic and cruel leader on the planet. He is not only wicked, he revels in it, delighting in rubbing in his power. Of course the west has no interest in relieving him of his office since Zimbambe has no oil. Unlike most dictators, he is athletic and fit, and can’t be counted on to die soon.

Frank Luntz

Frank Luntz

Luntz (born: 1962-02-23 age: 47) is the Republican progandist who masterminded the coal and gas industry funded disinformation campaign about global warming. He is a traitor to his planet. No conceivable punishment would be suffient for such a crime.

Bill Gates

Bill Gates

Face it - Bill Gates is a about a white Persian cat and a monocle away from being a Bond villain.
~ Dennis Miller (born: 1953-11-03 age: 56)

Bill Gates (born: 1955-10-28 age: 54) is the owner of Microsoft. He used both illegal and unethical techniques to demolish the competition, forcing the public to use his technically inept, slovenly, buggy Windows operating system. By deliberately dropping Java support in the Internet Explorer Web browser, he has almost succeeded in derailing one of the best ideas in computer science of the last decade, thick client Java — motivated by outrageous greed. Mr. Gates is enough of a nerd to fully understand how his actions have set back the evolution of computers. What does this lunatic need with yet more money? He is already the richest man on the planet.

By the year 2000, what had he done with his money other than accumulate it — build himself a techno mansion. He was a miser, someone who collects money simply because he is addicted to money, not for what can be done with it. He reminded me of a bag lady who collects old plastic bags for no purpose.

Things are looking up. On 2000-07-10 Gates announced a donation of $50 million to help with AIDS in Botswana. This is still pocket change for him. I suspect his wife is the driving force behind this new philanthropy and he gives her a few millions to play with. I don’t know if Mr. Gates eventually saw the futility of accumulating more money than he could spend in a hundred lifetimes, of if he has just discovered he can get more prestige by giving money away than hoarding it. Over time he has become more serious about projects such as eliminating disease in the third world. He has the power single handedly to solve several major world problems if he so choses, such as the providing clean drinking water for all. He is still just dabbling.

It would be nice to see Gates follow in the tradition of the great 19th century philanthropistl such as Carnegie, who build libraries all over North American. Those libraries are all that is left of those robber barons.

I have a fantasy of going to one of his public speeches, waiting for a quiet moment, then in my loud, ringing voice announcing to everyone present, "You may be immune to ordinary justice, Bill, but you are still a shithead."

“The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place.
~ Douglas Adams (born: 1952-03-11 died: 2001-05-11 at age: 49)

Rupert Murdoch

photo
Rupert Murdoch (born: 1931-03-11 age: 78) is a wealthy Australian who owns a sizeable chunk of the planet’s media including Fox News, the Weekly Standard, and the New York Post, three bastions for an ultra right wing reporting of the news. He won a supreme court battle for the right to simply make up the news. It need have no truth to it at all, and he takes great advantage of that to sell his Attila the Hun political views. Like an ancient spider at the center of the web, he has even more control of neocon politics than George W. Bush. He determines the day’s talking points of all Republicans.

Adnan Khashoggi

Adna khashoggi

(born: 1935-07-25 age: 74). Here is a man whose greed knows no bounds. He is already so rich he could not possibly spend all the money he has. He foments wars and insurrections so he can sell arms to both sides. Why? To make more money. What an idiot! He is the moral equivalent of Monty Python’s Monsieur Creosote the glutton.

Karol Wojtyla, Pope Jean Paul II

Pope Jean Paul II

(born: 1920-05-18 died: 2005-04-02 at age: 84). Here was a man with immense personal charm yet who has almost single handedly ensured that overpopulation is destroying the planet’s ecology, causing famines and disease. Not only did he prohibit the use of birth control for his followers, he sent people to the UN conference on population control to disrupt it.

If Pope Jean Paul had wished to escape my disdain, he would have reverseed his position on birth control. I didn’t require him to change his mind on abortion, just birth control. It is more important to protect the planet from overpopulation than to spread Catholicism.

Fred Phelps

Fred Phelps
Mr. Phelps (born: 1929-11-13 age: 79) in a Baptist minister who utterly hates homosexuals. He maintains a website called GodHatesFags.com. He went so far as to picket the private funeral of Matthew Shepard, a young gay man, who was crucified to death on a fence by gay bashers. This man is the epitome of what I find disgusting about modern Christianity. He has a raspy hissing voice that drips evil. He could audition for the part of the snake if ever Hollywood makes a movie about Genesis.

If Fred Phelps wished to escape my disdain, he would have to admit that he has done battle with his own internal homosexual urges, and that is why he is so tough with those who give into them. Fred Phelps masquerades hate as religion. His buddy Paul Cameron, the defrocked psychologist, masquerades hate as science.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
~ William Shakespear (born: 1564-04-23 died: 1616-04-23 at age: 52) Hamlet Act III scene ii

Charlton Heston

Charlton Heston

On the second amendment:
Pooing on your lawn is probably protected by the constitution, but that does not necessarily mean you should do it.
~ Anonymous
Charlton Heston (born: 1923-10-04 died: 2008-04-05 at age: 84) the actor who played Moses in The Ten Commandments, was the president of the National Rifle Association. He worked tirelessly to feed American paranoia about the federal government.

The NRA builds a fantasy that it would be a Good Thing™ if tiny groups of patriots armed with rifles overthrew the democratically elected US federal government. It would not be a Good Thing™. Further, such an insurrection would be pathetic. An armed populace is not what keeps the government honest! It is a population that participates in democracy.

The NRA fosters the illusion that guns are primarily used to shoot intruders. In reality they primarily shoot other family members, sometimes accidentally, sometimes in the heat of anger. Only rarely are they used to shoot intruders.

Heston used his moral authority as Moses to put up a smoke screen so that Americans won’t find out the USA is an anomaly. No other country in the world has even a tenth the problem with gun violence. He even opposed measures to keep guns out of the hands of children. As a result of his actions, children and wives needlessly die in gun accidents and domestic disputes.

If Charlton Heston had wished to escape my disdain, he would have had to resign as head of the NRA and publicly reveal his internal conflicts on the issue.

Donald Trump

Donald Trump

Trump (born: 1946-06-06 age: 63) symbolises all that is rotten in America. He mindlessly pursues the false gods of wealth and fame. He is like some giant alleycat pissing his scent on everything he owns. He has perfect wrong livelihood — gambling and speculation, both parasitic activities. He makes crassness and cheesiness into an art form. His failings are petty greed and vanity. He has not seriously harmed others the way others on this page have.
