Not really. I'm not a conspiracy theorist of any kind but it wouldn't surprise me if there was some sort of "higher group" that made all the decisions in some country or another (not sure about a group that makes the decisions for every country in the world, though. That seems pretty absurd and far-fetched.)
For those who play video games, there was an interesting group in the Metal Gear Solid series called the "Patriots" that were based off this.
