why bother with WMDs when one can take it over through business?
my plan is already in progress...
set up a base on the net through which i can establish a connection to people around the globe. after acquiring the needed education, i'd go on to build a business corporation using capital i gain through novels i intend to write, the practice for which i gain from the original base set up prior. after expanding enough in one field that i have a decent amount of control over it, i'd launch another branch, the first being simple trading both internationally and locally, and the next being a music production studio which would work on selling various popular singers' albums for them in massive quantities for decent prices, while simultaniously using the income gained from it and the trade to begin the formation of a gaming branch to overthrow the demons known as EA Games, before taking their place at the top of the Gaming industry with endlessly more popular and user-friendly games, removing the need for pirating and maximising my income. after that i'd spread into the automobile industry, importing and exporting popular makes such as Audi, VW, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Dodge, GMC, Chevrolette and others, using the massive amount of powerful connections i'd gain through these businesses [i dare you to tell me world leaders' families are above the standard of playing console games and listening to popular music
. it'd be a matter of time before one of them randomly requested something special and threw in an idea] to gain access to various places, after which i'd use the Super Virus method [and no, Doc, you are NOT going to be the one involved...don't want to be stabbed in the back
] by way of a particularly greedy programmer to take hold of the world's major Computer Systems, such as those operating the Stock Exchange, security agencies around the world, factories [their computers tend to do the dual job of sorting out orders and importing materials, as well as the occasional one that has Computer operated production lines. by having the virus tamper with orders and sending them to the wrong places, i'd ruin them, therefore making my super company even stronger], civilian computers [i'd use the virus to make fake hacker pages that appeared to be done by various other computer companies, ruining THEM and, as with the factories, making me stronger still!
], and so on and so forth until i had hijacked the entire planet, meanwhile maintaining the cover of a businessman whose working to form protection against the virus [they'd be more suppressors, causing them to go dormant until i needed them again]. the result of the cure seemingly removing the virus would result in my taking over the world as a hero rather than as an enemy...
