over a couple cups of coffee and youtube videos I cam to the conclusion the one world govenment would not be that bad of an idea, but the problem is that I do not trust any of the world leaders, this is a plea to the universe at large...

push for the Amero it's clearly the next step forward towards a singular economic rule... not that actually useful things don't already get exchanged globally
I think you should grab another cup of coffee and turn to Kropotkin instead of youtube on this account.
It is completely incomprehensible to me this idea that further consolidation of power would do anything but compound the present-day apathy and recklessness of our consumer societies.
The creation of huge representational "democratic" governments is the bane of activists advocating systemic change, in my opinion. This is a system where the people are inculcated in the belief that change is developed when they appeal to the powers that be. Let me ask you, what is a more powerful and effective example of change:
A. I gather one hundred neighbors and friends and organize a letter-writing campaign to our senate representative, begging for reform in healthcare policy.
OR
B. I gather this same group and we self-organize and administer a healthcare cooperative, offering services and consultation to the people of our neighborhood by pooling the skills of each member in the community and investing in the further development of skills and home-grown insurance programs according to community consensus.
This is the difference between direct action activism that produces tangible results and reformist big-government bureacratic lobbyist activism that typically doesn't.
Examples abound pertaining to how consolidation of power has far-reaching and often catastrophic repurcussions, usually to populations that are the most vulnerable and in need of support.
Globalization, transnational corporations, and free trade agreements have created conditions overseas that threaten ecosystems, demolish struggling local markets, and ultimately increase corruption, unemployment, poverty, destitution, and dependence on foreign power. The corporate and political fat cats also do their best to homogenize world culture.
Wooo political discourse... the life blood of a functional democratic system. Glad to have you with us. While I currently choose to refuse to confirm or deny your above conclusions I will state that far to often I find myself disturbed by the extent to which various "environmental groups" seem to have very little to do with environmentalism instead pushing anticorpratism, anticapitalism, and antiglobalization agendas. I am not trying to deny the existence of any interconnected threads just well prodding the conversation along say.
