On Conquest
Chris Ballard
8 Aug 2001
Conquest, a dream held since the appearance of the first human beings. Many followers, led by many leaders including Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Genghis Kahn, Kublai Kahn, Minamoto Yoritomo, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Attila the Hun, Hannibal of Carthage, William the Conqueror, Napoleon, the Kaiser, Hitler, and Yamamoto Isoroku, once, took some part in a military romance with the single goal: that of conquest. However, such people and events took place within history, on a day so long ago, and could never come into existence again today. By this I mean that, without a total collapse of the standing power of the larger and more influential nations in today's world (mainly America the Greatest), no such intrusions onto another's property (their country) could exist without almost immediate military action by a third party. Simple put, if you attacked someone else out of aggression then America or the United Nations, or etc. would step in to stop you from further advancing and, eventually, reverse your doministic progression. Since WWII no conflict, minor or not, has been overlooked by the UN, who analyze this clash and determine wether steps are or are not needed to control the outbreak of warfare. I myself dream of conquest, and know that, if not for these circumstances, it would be rather easy to achieve. This now brings me to my central idea. Since conquest in a military form, making people bend to my will etc., is not attainable today, I feel that, in order to own an Empire, one must choose another tool that you could use to eventually 'conquer' the world. But what is this tool. Since we must originally begin in a non-militaristic manner, I began to think about people who, if they so desired, could do anything they really wanted. I thought and I thought. Many candidates ran through my head: the President, no; the Leader of a small 3rd world county, no, both have not enough resources with which to create freedom; and then I thought resources, what can get you any resource you need, hell!, what can get you anything you need? That one was easy, Money. Then I thought Bill Gates has a lot of money, he can do anything he wants, if he wanted to bad enough. Bill Gates as you know is the owner of a really BIG company with huge net income (compared to myself, and everyone else, to note). So from here I put the pieces together. Lots of money means lots of power, the sole root for the cause of Conquest. More power = more control, and everyone wants to control everything. By now you can see where this is going. The future conquest are not going to be made by a single county because the balance of power is to great to one side. But in America, the government has made special laws protecting and even helping new businesses. Therefor with a little intelligence and wit, one could create his own Empire, at least at first, without an army. (Later one would be used just for recreation purposes) So I propose to you, knowing you lust for power as much as I, to join with me and create the next world power. Then the world shall be ours to control, our dream long coming true.
