Whether you're human or alien (equal opportunity here), this is just too cool:
"How to Take Over The Planet Earth
Instructions
1. Be in a privileged family or social order. Be part of a secret society such as Skull and Bones, the Freemasons, the Annunaki, the IMF, the World Bank, the Rockefellers, the Rothchilds, or the Teen Choice Awards panel.
2. Have a charismatic, authoritative personality. If not, have a personality that will suit the needs of the elites at the time of your reign, perhaps that of a fool when they need one, a pimp when they need one, a junkie when they need one, or an upbeat lyricist when they need one. If you have none of these, pay for lessons.
3. Give the people hope. Tell them change will come. Hit them at a time of need. The absolute best times are when the people are at their lowest, such as completely impoverished, dying off, facing war at all fronts, their current president/leader is the worst the living citizens have ever known, or going from a world leader to a "third-world country" in a short period of time. If all of these are combined, jump in the game RIGHT AWAY. THIS IS YOUR BEST CHANCE.
4. Promise them true CHANGE. Convince them their hope will turn into reality. Tell them their dreams will come true. Identify their enemies, the regular people that have been set on the bad side, and target them as the ones to eliminate in order to secure a better future. Set the sides against each other, and make your supporters your army. Have your army destroy your enemies. In the end, the goal is for your supporters to be the victors, thus the world's population being under your control.
5. They will be convinced of the CHANGE. If they are not, have the BELIEVERS destroy all the NONBELIEVERS and your word will be THE word. As long as you have gained complete power and restored or bestowed upon your nation greatness and holiness, you will have no challengers. It does help to have the most powerful military force and technological infrastructure in the world. If not, destroy all others who challenge you with your hundreds of millions or billions of brainwashed minions. Once you have obtained complete authority and all citizens and "governments" respect and fear you, the world is officially YOURS. ALL YOURS. ENJOY."
