Personal Disclosure: Its both IMO! Regardless of whether I lead myself or I look to/for leadership/rolemodels outside myself... The leader [who ever they may be] still remains. For some, the leaders that are outside of them will always be TPTB, whilst for others like myself, TPTB is within us!

We need a leader movement! A mass of people all well (self)educated enough to use their own ingenuity in reaching the same overall goal(s).
Patton said tell men what they need to do, but not how to do it. We don't need micromanagers, we all just need to realize what the goals are and we'll all lead ourselves to the collective finish line.

We all have our own beliefs,morals and goals.
But as we do not all share these, we need leadership to decide.
Whether this is a person, party or computer program is irelevant..
Problem is, you will never please everyone, majority must rule....
There the problem lies...
Sometimes the Minority makes the most noise...

Well my take is rather unique, but it's in my sig.
First, no one human should be trusted. These days half the people can't even trust their own family, so to trust some demigod is insanity.
Ideas are what should be added, checked, verified, and agreed upon. From there we can figure it all out as we go.
Goals depend on the 'fight'. First you must define the threat. Without knowing the disease you can't much find a cure. That's what I try to do in my efforts, and adopt (often hybrid) solutions that might work. When you know the threat, then the goal is finding solutions that most everyone can agree upon. That's the biggest catch. I do my best in my efforts, but no single person can possibly sort it all out alone, otherwise you end up with leader seeking followers, which itself is a threat to be fought.

Explanation: St*r for you!
Personal Disclosure: From my global POV... they are currently alive and that suits me fine! The reason for that is because, to rudely wake them up would be EXACTLY THAT... Rude!!!
BUT... when I act locally... I don't suffer fools easily!
And when I feel internally and pray to my Goddess... I ask her to bless me by advancing their foolish souls quickly into her divine care OR to curse me with being their mentor for as long as it takes for me to deny their ignorance!

Like I said, it's usually the minority that is the most vocal and active...
Until you can get the majority to stand up and care what happens we have no hope..
Most are too busy with American Idol and the Footy...

Spirit, some of the replies I find hard to follow. What I will say is if you do not trust others then follow yourself. Leaders will be few and far between that you will trust from your statements so you should look at leading yourself for now. In my humble opinion leaders are not someone you can pop online and find.

Isn't that what Project Blue Beam was about?
A false alien intervention???
That would just be TPTB tricking the majority into believing in a messiah..
Back to square one......
Luk 4:23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
Luk 4:24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
Meaning:
Attend to one's own faults, in preference to pointing out the faults of others.
The phrase alludes to the readiness and ability of physicians to heal sickness in others while sometimes not being able or willing to heal themselves. This suggests something of 'the cobbler always wears the worst shoes', i.e. cobblers are too poor and busy to attend to their own footwear. It also suggests that physicians, while often being able to help the sick, cannot always do so and, when sick themselves, are no better placed than anyone else.
