Best Method For Conquring The World?

Being that it is the 21st century warfare is now a discouraged way of gaining power so a new, more modern approach is needed for the ambitious. Ideally it would need to be a way where most people don't actually know that you are doing it and a rather small operation that does not require many people to reduce the chances of it being exposed.

This would be rather hard as in the 21st century money is power, and of course banks, governments etc can know just how much money you have so it would have to be rather well hidden and also easily accessed when required some how and you would need a way of not being linked to your world domination activities.

get control of the media (ahem...Rupert Murdoch)

you control what people think, say and do...basically you are engineering society

from there you have limitless power

Make or obtain 20 nuclear bombs - even if they are amateurish 'dirty bombs' and attach to each of them a detonator, which will vary in detonation times from 6 months to 50 years. Travel around the world planting these bombs underground (5 metres or so, encased in lead to avoid detection), in or around built up areas. Make sure to place one of them in a rural/isolated area and have this one be the first to detonate. Once it does detonate and worldwide panic ensues, reveal to the media that you are the criminal mastermind behind it and that you have planted another couple of dozen or so. Tell them or the authorities the location of the next one that is due to detonate, and when they locate and disassemble it, the world will now be at your whim. The only way the world will be able to stop dirty bombs going off in cities all around the world every couple or so years will be by you telling them the location of each bomb in the weeks before it is due to be detonated.

You can live in luxury in a huge palace somewhere, funded by the world's governments who will be desperate to meet your every demand for the rest of your life.
