90% of people have never heard of this company, or the vast amount of resources it controls.

Fuck with us.

That day I learned I could boom a wall all day.

hmmm has bilderberg written all over it. it's nice to see other people waking up to our controlled world

Serco = Abstergo = Templars = Illuminati = 1984 = World domination

Surely Monsanto is bigger

The "Serco" name sounds really familiar, and I kinda don't believe this company is real. How could a company be that big and never even known about? I'm pretty sure the Government wouldn't allow that, but I guess it's always possible.

I didnt know that company.

I linked the wiki page for it up above. It's the real deal, a private company with access to nukes.
