    My paternal grandfather witnessed the crowd's mutilation of Mussolini's corpse. He was stationed in Italy during World War II and served with the U.S. Army Mountain Rangers, He said it was one of the most disturbing things he ever saw.

    Not just the poison he spoke, but the whirlwind he created killed everyone my grandmother knew in the old country. She immigrated from Sienna as a teen during WW1. She kept in regular contact with friends and family and visited as a young adult between the wars. She went to her grave believing that someone had to have survived from the neighborhood. Nobody did. There was no record of anybody she knew after 1943.

    In the 1980s I decorated a house for an old man. We got speaking and it turned out that he was in the crowd when Mussolini was killed. All of his photographs were never used, I’m sure these would be worth hundreds of thousands now for publication. Because of his position in the military and the fact that he should not have been there, he kept them. I have never seen anything on Mussolini or his girlfriend that was so graphic. Truly historic.

      Hitler specified that his body be burned to a crisp after his death because he was afraid that he would be pissed on, shit on, shot full of holes, and hung in a public place where the public could use his corpse as target practice.
      He also said that he would come back in spirit form and everybody would have to admit that he was right.

    My father's family is Italian. Being Italian, he had a very large extended family. During the war, half of them sided with Il Duce and half knew a loser when they saw him. It created a rift in the whole multi-generational family. It was intense and violent at times. There were murders, arson attacks and all manner of brawls. My father and his like minded family members saw the writing on the wall and decided to flee to Canada right when Mussolini came to power. They all stayed together and braved the constant U-boat attacks crossing during the very peak of the battle of the Atlantic. They arrived in Ontario and put down roots. The family feud still exists to this day. And here I am, one of their descendants.

      Romans 6.23
      For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
      Jesus

    Another case of dictators getting their just desserts is Samuel Doe in Liberia. He was captured by his opponents and videoed as his ears and then fingers were cut off (he was at one point forced to try and eat his fingers). After 12 hours of torture (much of it videoed) he was executed. His naked remains, covered in cigarette burns, had it's head shaved and was put on public display on the streets of Liberia's capital Monrovia.

      @efnissien 6 месяцев назад +40

      @@theravenseye9443 This was 1990, a particularly turbulent period in the region. The video was doing the rounds on the internet for a while during the 'wild west ' era of early internet video sharing. It isn't particularly pleasant viewing, (and yes, I have seen the 'edited highlights') Doe was captured by Prince Yormie Johnson, leader of one of the factions in the countries civil war led by Charles Taylor (currently Taylor is residing in HMP Frankland in the UK, convicted of warcrimes and crimes against humanity) can be seen sipping a beer as Does ears are cut off (in context, it was to demonstrate that Doe wasn't protected by black magic) and female 'soldiers' taunt Doe.
      Doe had been captured by Johnson's men in the headquarters of the ECOMOG peacekeeping force. Johnsons forces drove in to the compound, disarming and executing Doe's entourage one by one outside. Doe expressed concern to the Gambian ECOMOG commander, who assessed the situation, then took cover, leaving Doe to his fate. Johnsons men entered the building, executing any remaining members of Doe's party and shooting Doe in the leg, before taking him away to be tortured and killed. 80 members of Doe's party had been killed and not a single member of the Gambian force was injured.
      While Taylor initiated the civil war, Johnson now decided he wanted to run the show and this led to the 'second civil war' which was based on warring tribal and ethnic factions, leading to a seven way civil war.
      In a later truth and reconciliation commission it was recommended that Johnson be barred from holding any governmental posts. As of 2023, he was re-elected a senator. This is a guy who had a reputation for volatility and sadism against those who dared challenge his authority.
      It's a seedy and sordid period and a lot of the violence is intertribal / magical belief based.
