I wasn't sure if I should add cabal of elites. It was too tempting to keep out. LOL. I have no evidence for it, but the dark corners of the mind can't stop thinking about it. I am sure there are interest groups pulling strings. Just look at the USA alone for example, with lobby groups such as AIPAC, Gun, Evangelical, Pharma, etc. putting millions of dollars for ideological control. You don't think that is happening at the global/UN scale? UN is extremely corrupt. I describe a bit of it in the OP under the Bad section #5. I can't keep out cabal of elites at the moment.
