Amodeo not only dreamed of taking over several former Soviet Republics, such as Tajikistan, and poor African nations, including Zaire (Democratic Republic of the Congo), but he also wanted to control their economies and telecommunications through Mirabilis. And in the process, he would force governments to dissolve, the doctor said.

"In this case, Mr. Amodeo was expressing the ability to tell the future, the ability to transmute molecules, rule the Earth and establish the Terran empire. . . . In my opinion, it's reached psychotic proportions."
