Organize. So, call everyone you can. Tell everyone you can.
Here, one has to create the organization to call for help.
That sounds like the kind of thing that gets people disappeared.
The Preatorian Guard. Better have the backing of several Senators though. Otherwise, Assassin's Guild.
Basically no way a President is going to prison in most "1st world" countries.
Shouldn't a 1st world country be one where law applies equally to everyone?
you'd think so, but as it appears not all laws apply if you've got enough money (which usually also equals power). Being a president kinda complicates this tho, because a 1st world president isn't supposed to be too rich (and powerful) and thus immune from laws, lest those countries be the same as the unwashed barbarous masses of 3rd world countries. They aren't Africans, after all.
Thus my quotes. Remember, the quickest way to be labelled a "banana republic" is to reject US interventionism and/or impliment anything resembling socialist reforms. Then, the most corrupt leaders who get deposed flee to "1st world" countries with the money they stole.
In other words, the whole 1st, 2nd, 3rd world schema is a conceit/correlation for the flow of money and resources, away from 3rd, and the flow of accountability, away from 1st.
Mind you, I've basically pulled this reasoning out of my ass over the last 14 hours, almost all of which was spent asleep, but hey, this is
