Check this out, and no, I'm not having a go at trying to impersonate free-will-of-choice or however that username is spelled.

The word "government", comes from the latin word gubernare which means "to govern" and the suffix -ment, as in 'mental', meaning "of the mind".

So, essentially "government" means "to govern the mind", or roughly, mind control.

Across the internet, of course there are always people who dispute this, but never offer an alternative explanation to it. And, as we all know, there is plenty of mental manipulation attempted, and unfortunately, successfully implemented throughout society.

Something to think about.
