Update: Been doing my research, lately, and I've decided a few things which I'm listing here.
>1
First of all, having a trustworthy person as a puppet leader is a must. Not in a manipulative way, or anything, but a hopefully trusting relationship in which they interface with others in my stead. Besides the benefits of having someone charismatic and possibly sexually attractive handling recruitment and personnel management, not letting any enemies know I'm the head that needs to be cut off the snake means I'm safer. Osama Bin Laden had (has?) one of the most recognized names and faces in the US and it still took years to find what cave he was hiding in, so this should be sufficient to keep me safe for a time. Number one priority is finding this leader stand in.

Secondly, notoriety is important for designating an organization as threatening to enemies, powerful to allies, and a safe bet for potential employees. I hate to keep referring to middle eastern guerrilla forces, but if Isis can get angsty white atheist boys and girls from western nations to fly out to their dirt bunker to act as human shields and brood meres respectively, how hard can it be to find decent sociopaths with a work ethic? I know saying "how hard can it be" is just asking for trouble so I'm keeping my expectations low.

I'm taking the "mad science and black magic" approach to this. I've been experimenting with different stimulants in order to supplement my mental capabilities and have come up with numerous creative weapon designs, varying in complexity and cost. Thanks to the 'Maker' community and their contributions to the advancements in home prototyping technologies (Desktop 3D printers and CNC machines, small and inexpensive 64 bit computers, mass produced modular circuit boards specifically designed for modification by individuals, etc.), none of what I've drawn up is even improbable provided enough time and care is put into them. I won't go into to much detail here now for obvious reasons but who knows what I may be at liberty to share in the future?
The misnomer that is the term "black magic" aside, actual magick (still going by definitions in line with the Church of Satan) includes forms of parapsychology. If you use your ability to increase your knowledge, use your knowledge to increase your ability, and use both to enact your will on reality, you're employing left hand path magick. For example, reading the /32/ library increases your knowledge of manipulation and ability to exercise your will on others. The information presented in those provides your conscious mind (meaning you) what it needs to know, while things like black robes, symbols, and other ritual items provide a psychosomatic effect that molds your subconscious to fit the will of your conscious. Also it can be just fun to set some things on fire and yell at God.

'Hacking' turned into a service market some time ago. Gray hat remote administration tools can monitor a person's entire digital life with a one time fee and a click of a button, some even come with tech support. Credit card theft has become so common that clearnet card dumb selling websites have surfaced and eating the cost is apparently cheaper for card companies than any long term fix. More people enable javascript without looking than have properly maintained security software. I plan on taking full advantage of this.
>Finally, 5
I'm posting from Tor from this point. From watching my father's numerous pitfalls from his deviousness, I've learned an ounce of prevention really is better than a pound of cure.

Much appreciated.
