Question:
I'm going to try for world domination. How should I go about it?
2008-07-14 05:13:31 UTC
To begin with, I'm a 22 year old typist from the south west of England. But then, Hitler was only an artist and look how far he got!

So, what do I need to do? I'd like to remain shadowy and mysterious if possible but that doesn't mean I'm an evil sort. I like people!

I'm guessing controlling oil would help, but then that would mean somehow ruling Saudi Arabia...or maybe securing some sort of advanced technology, but silicon valley is a long way from Droset...

Or maybe commanding the military? I don't really have time to work my way up through the ranks though...

Maybe a civilian guerilla movement of some sort? That's an idea...

So where should I start?

Dear Rover, I thought I would click this question and be answering a dog. I was gonna suggest that you just hump everybody, since that's how a dog shows dominance. Since you are a typist, though, I'll just have to say, "The pen is mightier than the sword."

Here are some Ideas:



First, you will need a "Secret Society" of you and some friends. You can start off with three, but it's better to go with more. Get everyone into politics, in different countries. Say have Some people with the Canadian Government, some with the American, Mexican, Etc etc. When Election time rolls around, get working on putting your people in office! There are many ways this could go wrong.

If you don't want to work on that... There are other things you could do, but for them, You will need Lots and lots of Money. I suggest Buying Tons of lottery Tickets as a start. when you win a couple times, Build Castles around the country. make them Interesting, and offer tours. You will make money off of those. And, you can even make them into hotels! A castle themed hotel would be a hit! After that, just start buying companies. Oil Companies, Internet Companies, anything. When you acquire a major amount of money, (100M would be good) Start Bribing! If you must, Hire an Assassin to Eliminate your enemies.



If I were to Dominate the World, I would combine both. This will be hard to pull off, as the media is ruthless, and you MUST keep everything secret (or at least most of it) because once the Media gets a whiff o something, its game over. Another thing you should really keep in mind (it will take will) is never stray too far on the bad side. Keep your interest in the peoples interest. Revolts are the worst possible thing that could happen. Even if you have 50 men on security ever day/night people will find away.

First you have to find a way to divide the country into different classifications. It goes something like this....



1. Divide the classes.



2. Study the classes and learn what matters to them the most.



3. Find a way to incorporate the largest total sum of the masses, I mean classes.



4. Devise a scheme to get into power, legitimately at first.



5. Find a way to get the masses on board with you, to provide a "driving force" if you will.



6. Use a lot of political rhetoric that really means nothing, but provides a sense of warmth and happiness to your devoted sheep. Use phrases like Change, and Together We can Make a Difference.



7. Be sure you temporarily you disassociate yourself from others who may not share the views of your newly formed masses. You can't completely condemn them...you have to appear compassionate yet "enlightened"



8. You have to prepare alot of speeches filled with mindless rhetoric, but keep your story straight. Someone may call you out if you slip up. Rush Limbaugh is well known for that.



9. Find a way to gather a huge financial backing because the legitimate election won't be cheap. Create a web-site and offer free t-shirts for those who "get on board".



10. And you better hurry! November is around the corner and Shephard Obama is leading his flock to the land of Promises while following the winds of Change.

You are in luck!!

I represent the ACME Corporation.

It is a well documented fact that 90% of crazed tyrannical power fiends find their ambitions are more easily realised with the ACME patented Thermo Nuclear and Thought Control Holistic World Domination Device!!! This unique product not only destroys 75% of living organisms within a 50 mile radius, but also secures the brain patterns of any survivors to render them mere playthings of the controlling Master.

But don't just take our word for it!!!! See our feedback below!!

Get a white cat and change your name to something unusual with a twist of evil, then build an underwater sea city and steal the worlds entire gold reserves and all the nuclear missiles, thus rendering us all to your mercy.



Watch out for Her Majesty's Secret Service though, they are constantly trying to foil such plots.



I tried exactly the same thing and I would have gotten away with it it it was for that pesky meddling MI6.



Alternatively you could just buy up the worlds media and change your name to Rupert.

First, promise the people you will provide for their every need.

Second, tax them accordingly and insist they work for their rewards.

Third, when that fails, because they won't work if you are providing their every need, declare a national emergency and martial law.

Do that on a world-wide scale AFTER you convince everyone they are better off with a "One World" Socialist Government, and you will have reached your goal.

Just watch out for the chaos that will follow.

In the mean time, YOU will be King of the world, your associates will be Lords, and your subjects will be serfs.

Recruit everybody who is against the war in Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

And you would have a huge army that would sweep through all of the nations chanting "We have had enough of your War crap, we want some peace and quiet"!

And you would have world domination.

To get 'em, I am a recruit.

Actually world domination starts at home. I suggest you travel to Missouri and come stay in my home. Once you have dominated my messy basement and whipped it into submission, you will have all the key elements to take on the rest of the world. Or at least the upstairs closets.

There are some good books on this subject.

Go to your local library and look under the 'World Domination' section. Good luck!

Do a Gordon Brown, and make sure you don't have to fight a democratic election.

Invent a sick religeon.



Get your brainwashed followers to infiltrate every country in the world, in the name of peace of course.



Teach them to kill all non believers.
