Satan?

Business and religion, unquestionably. Political leaders are just outcomes of those two situations.

Those who rule out their countries out of sheer force are on the margins.

[bing!]

All I know for sure is the means to run the world, ignorance. As for the question as to who's pulling the threads, I remain ignorant... damn.

I'll say it's some combination of Bankers and The Oil Companies.

The amount of money and power that those two entities control is astounding.

I say the media runs the world. They control what we are exposed to, tell us how to think and what is the accetable "norm", do puff peices on politicians they like (usually liberal), and chop jobs on politicians they don't (usually conservative). TV is the first think we see in the morning to check on traffic, and the last thing we see at night, and they determine what is "newsworthy". Look at the panic about the swine flu, the regular flu was much more dangerous and killed many more people, but you don't see any "pandemics" going around with that.

The media tells the masses what to think, and if they beat the drum hard enough on an issue then the majority will feel the way they were told to feel, then the politicians will listen to the will of the people who formed their opinion based on.... the media.
