If you obtained telepathic & telekinetic power & had only 27 days to take over the world how would you do it?

Question

The limit to your telepathy is only being able to read and control the thoughts of thirty people at once, who are distanced no more than 3 miles of your current location.

The limit to your telekinesis is only being able to move, manipulate and combust things with a total weight of no more than 21,000 lbs and are within your line of sight or that of another you are controling.

Remember, an unforseen knife in the back or bullet in the head will put a quick end to all of this mischief, so it pays to have an appropriate amount of sub'tly in using it.

Keep in mind that the clock is ticking, but, spending the first 3 to 6 days to plan an effective and thought out strategy isn't a bad idea at all.

Any goverment (or lack there of) you wished to employ is up to you, it doesn't necessarily have to be a Totalitarian Autocracy or Utopian Paradise.

Answer 1

This isn't terribly hard. First I would travel control the senate and force them to vote to give the president complete power over the country for the next month. The thirty I control would vote affirmative and they through my telekenisis would force the mouths shut of the others and force their hands in the air in the affirmative vote. I would do the same with the house and supreme court. Next I would do something overwhelmingly favorable to the people in power in the USA to prevent an uprising like give them a flat tax of 15% and give the states more power to legislate their own laws. Next I would control the president (bush) first and I would have him call together the leaders of the following countries of the world (Russia, China, France, UK, India, Pakistan, japan, Germany, Italy, Canada, Spain, Brazil, North Korea, South Korea, Netherlands, Australia, Mexico, Taiwan, Argentina and Switzerland). At that point I would have all of these countries band together to form one controlling group with me as the leader (my name or face would not be known to the public) that issued an ultimatum to the governments of the world that they were either to join our federation of countries or be branded our enemy and risk war.

As a member of the federation they would still retain autonomy of cultural issues and affairs and would generally run their country as they see fit much like the states do in a federalistic country (i.e. USA). However they would have to abide by a broad set of federal laws that regulated tax, commerce, travel, human rights, freedoms etc... As a benefit the world's wealth would be partially redistributed. The US and other large economies would supply funds to drastically increase the standard of living of the poorer countries.

Surely there would be countries that would refuse to join and that is accepted. Countries with pervasive extremist culture where a huge chunk of the population blindly follows religious edict or is incredably xenophobic will be allowed to dissent and they will be summarily subdued or destroyed depending on the amount of resistance expected. The land will be reclaimed and any parts deemed to be too damaged or un-usable will be turned into world landfills where all of the pollutants and garbage are sent. Those in countries that aren't a large threat to the world population that choose to dissent will be subdued by the forces of their surrounding countries with full support of all the countries of the leaders under my control.

I will then go to the remaining religious leaders of the world and after some feats of heroic majesty with my telekenisis (Causing a flood then summarily saving the people in it's path etc...) I would have the leaders proclaim that I am the second coming of Jesus / Buddah / Vishnu / Mohammed etc... and I am to be worshiped and listened to as such. I would then reassure them that the new world government is not evil or lead by the anti-christ and that they will all be rewarded in heaven if they continue to live good lives and remain at peace.

Answer 2

I would brainwash the Tellitubbies (moreso than they already are) and cause them to send sub. messages through their TV shows (moreso than they already have). Then, I will build an army of Illuminati and hold the producers of Family Guy (no one could live long w/ out them) for randsom of Australia, where I would travel there and (telepathically!) cause all kangers to destroy Japan, with the help of Godzilla. Then, everyone will realize that they cannot resist my good looks and awesome power, and fall. Those who don't be dropped into a large crater full of angry ferrets and be doomed to wander there forever unless they admit my victory and kiss my ***.

Answer 3

Hmmm.. question: When I leave the 3 mile radius do commands I've previously given go away? Like if I command someone to go somewhere at 8pm on friday, but when friday gets there I'm halfway across the world do they still go?

Answer 4

Mwah Ha Ha...she laffed her most evil laff!

I'll get back to you after the 3 to 6 day planning phase...I'll be recruiting minions at that time.

Answer 5

Neither. appears to be a wash, even-steven. With telekinesis, i ought to manage the lottery balls to be MY numbers and win large. If i ought to study minds, i ought to win at intense stakes poker. Like I stated, appears like a tie to ME... The earnings is going to ME both way...

Answer 6

Heck NO! I'm not that responsible enough to take over the world. I wouldn't even know what to do.

Answer 7

why 27 days? did u fail when u tried in 26 days?
who wants to take over this crappy world anyways?

Answer 8

Convince Bush that God has weapons of mass destruction!

Answer 9

i would choose the people that pissed me off or the guys that left me for other girls and make them do the stupidest things, i would let them make a jackass out of themselves while doing it, thats what i do.

Answer 10

Are you writing a novel and have no idea what?
