Greetings. I’d like to invite you to be a guest on my radio show and talk about DEATH BY GOVERNMENT.
The hour-long radio show I host is called Riell Truth. The show, which is broadcast live every Monday–Thursday from 4-5 pm EST on the American Freedom Network, KHNC 1360 AM, in Denver, CO, explores everything from Constitutional law and foreign and domestic policy to civil liberties, politics, cover-ups and much more.
I hope we can make it happen. Thanks very much.

Thank you for the invitation. I cannot accept it, unfortunately. My hearing is now so bad that I would not hear your questions clearly. Even with the best hearing aids. Maybe email is somehow a way around this. I can be reached at rummel at hawaii.edu.

Dear Professor Rummel,
Do you have an updated version of your article from 1986 titled “War isn’t this centuries biggest killer”? I would very much like to see the updated numbers of persons killed by government as apposed to those killed by war. Thank you.

Hello Mark,
Heavens yes. Spent 8 years updating that article. The results are all in my Statistics of Democide on my website http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/ here http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/. Be sure to read also the front page of my website that updates the update.
Any questions, just ask

Thank you for your help, I found your new totals for democide (262m) but could not find a total for those killed by war.
Your website has been an eye-opener and I will encourage everyone to visit and expand their understanding of Freedom and what It means for peace.
Thank you. Mark

For war totals, look in the Statistics of democide tables. http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/NOTE5.HTM
I was as careful in these estimates as I was for democide
