- subjugate: make subservient; force to submit or subdue
- being under the power or sovereignty of another or others; "subject peoples"

citizens
- an inhabitant of a city or town; especially : one entitled to the rights and privileges of a freeman
- a member of a state b : a native or naturalized person who owes allegiance to a government and is entitled to protection from it
- a civilian as distinguished from a specialized servant of the state



What a contrast - to me, it seems they put their original intent on paper first, and covered it up to provide a layer of plausible-deniability...

Thoughts?
