    Produce

    Many in this administration want to take over the means of production. They believe they can do a better job of managing all the production everyone needs.

    There is an Obama. But, if there was such a thing as a government mind, what would it believe is the purpose of individuals?

    Manipulate

    Wait, that is the hidden purpose of the Federal reserve, which is a part of government.

    North Korea & China = Control (to be in charge, control the people)
    Russia = Domination (to dominate the world)
    United States = Freedom (to insure we remain free, or at least it used to be it's purpose).
