'The greater power is cold and calculated and a mastermind at screwing with people's minds. The greater power is also a master planner. The greater power: is methodical in his methods, and a master in human psychology. The greater power knows what makes all of us tick, each and every one of us! He knows our fears, he knows our strengths and our weaknesses, and exploits those fears, strengths, and weaknesses for the betterment of his Corporate Ministry and his own personal amusement. So who is this greater power? Let's reveal this greater power to the entire world!'
