While the name "superclass" comes from Kissinger Associates managing director David Rothkopf, ISGP's "Superclass Index" is completely independent from Rothkopf's "Superclass List". ISGP's list strictly deals with the amount of NGOs a person has been involved with during his or her lifetime.

Zionist

Largely synonymous with Solntsevskaya Bratva in Russia, various Russian oligarchs, past U.S. mobsters as Meyer Lansky, neocon elements in the Pentagon and CIA, and the U.S.-based Israel lobby. It's quite worrying to see the great overlap between top U.S. officials and the Zionist list.

Russia

Putin is a modern KGB/FSB elitist who has subdued the oligarchs and think tank elite. His power comes from the FSB old boys and the oil, gas, media and defense corporations he has taken control of.
