The world is ruled by super economic powers and all the nations participating are liege lords who must bend their knee to those kings. If somehow one of the lords gets too independent, let's say a Jimmy Carter, they will be removed from office by all the trickery they can conjure when brute force would be too obvious. I think they can be brought down once they are exposed. The problem is exposing them and getting the people to see what is going on. So far we have identified the Koch Brothers but only a small portion of us know about them because the media is bought by them. It's an uphill battle but I'm optimistic now that technology makes it so easy for them to track us, it also makes it really easy for us to uncover their deeds such as has been done recently with the whistle blowers. We need many more of them.
