Personally, I think it's officially a hoax, but not quite. You know people who are now ruling illegally have no intention of leaving quietly and democratically. One election hijacked, and another a complete farse...and they haven't even begun to implement the world war scenario they've been planning all along.
I think these characters are being used by larger PTB forces, like Hitler was used. Agents of destructive chaos to justify international intervention with full global approval! And if you get the US under Global Rulership, the rest of the world will follow, as it tends to follow all of Amerika's cultural quirks. You might as well start laying plans for the resistance movement...just kidding (maybe not). ;)
