 I have a new dream. A new vision. Freedom must feel fear. And fear leads to control. I was wrong about this country. This wonderful "United" States of America. It has all the resources already in place. It has the right attitudes laced within. They just need to be exploited. To become the perfect nation -- America just need a little push in the right direction. 

—Red Skull (Johann Schmidt)
