This is very interesting. I agree that there are a lot of powers that control the world. Money in its basic sense can be considered one; it makes the world go round, and whoever has a lot of it can also do a lot. Presidents/Prime Ministers/Kings are another, especially with regards to laws and the people. Big corporations can greatly affect things with their prices and marketing. Then there are the Oligarchs and the powerful that can control things from the shadow. Some consider the Rothschild as some of them.

It looks like in the end, we're just ants moving at the palm of these groups' hands.
