Together, these two will turn the whole World into a concentration camp for the poor and the helpless, decidng the fate of everybody, from sovereign states to the average man and woman in the farthese corner of the World, deciding which leaders people in their own countries should have, and which ones to get rid of. What a World! While a good portion of the people in the World devote valuable time to insignificant things, everything is in chaos; as others are busy mapping out our fate every waking moment. Helas!
