Put chains around planet Earth and order it to obey its master?

Kind of suspect this was in the cards all along.

An enduring enslavement of what used to be citizenry.

I saw a video of him saying the benefit of COVID is that it would lead to The Great Reset. I’m sure Dr Fauci is being well rewarded for enabling these monsters.
