The primary responsibility must therefore rest with the American organisation, ETS Global BV (ETS), which won the publi...

Lucifer is preparing for his ultimate reign. And he has a plan literally out of this world for creating the perfect human who can influence and dominate the earth so he can come to power and rule all.
