Bill O’Reilly’s latest book explores the origins of history’s most evil — from Putin to Hitler

Telling world’s wicked tales

Another Bill O’Reilly book is coming out. Such a big-time heavy-duty deep-down real surprise even to readers in the lowest tar pits. Title: “Confronting Evil: Assessing the Worst of the Worst.”

A St. Martin’s advance proof says evil began in Genesis when Cain zonked Abel. O’Reilly then gives the shiv to Genghis Khan, Caligula, Henry VIII, Stalin, Hitler and Mao. Also the Ayatollah, Putin, drug cartels. Good v. evil.

O’Reilly tells me young Vladimir Putin’s violence was leading rat hunts. He relished the kill in exterminating house vermin. His father, prone to rage, beat him for “lack of discipline.” The kid “endured the attacks in silence.” Page 210: “He slept on a rag heap, dirty clothes, handmade blankets.” By age 15 his crew of teenage thugs prowled the streets filled with “garbage, vodka bottles, cigarette butts.” Six-year-olds using weapons. They’d smash into interlopers’ eyes, noses. Blood everywhere. Rocks smashed faces, blood spattered onto 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.
