    That’s how Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Leopold II, and so many others achieved massive amounts of death.

    Executions don’t do that. The Heritage Foundation is interested in thinning the population, and executions are useful for fear and removing specifically interfering and troublesome people from the picture.

    Why are they so fascinated with eliminating so much of the population? I do not know. The only thing I can rationalize is that a smaller population is much easier to control and rule, and much less threatening.
