and surprise! At the evil heart of it all is the United States, controlled by a nest of corporate vipers. Our government is the one ring that binds them all in darkness. How does it feel to play a collective Saruman on the world stage, the ultimate henchman and dupe of an evil philosophy? The obsession to become the president, the ring bearer, has attracted its own gollums.

Smeagol for President! Smeagol will protect precious!
