Your reference to the Gene Hackman, Tommy Lee Jones film The Package and its removal of the U.S. and Soviet leaders in Chicago leads me to two similar lines of thought.
One is that Khrushchev was removed in October, 1964, and replaced with Brezhnev. Out with the detente-seeker; in with the hawk. Oddly familiar.
As a side note, Brezhnev brought Prague, the repression, at which Clinton and Talbott were oddly present, perhaps to learn how the international paradigm was maintained.
Secondly, the supranational forces you describe hark back to the tacit agreement of Oceania, Eurasia, Eastasia that perpetual war was desirable to consume wealth and control populations, that it would no longer cross borders but be confined to the quadrangle described.
As for the stateless mechanics Prouty described, your reference to the ratline in the Dal-Tex takes us back to the OSS players who continue in the post-war world.
Robert K. Wilcox in Target: Patton presents an odd interchangeability, that Brits claimed OSS was run by "one of their own," that Gehlen was penetrated by Soviets.
Hence Who Killed Patton might be the same supranational cabal which persists throughout history.
There are rules.
