If you ran the CIA what weapon would you design to use Nature for damage?
What would be the most diabolical and creative? Harnessing Volcanoes? Using magnets to pull meteors toward the Earth? Solar Flares? Mind control on insects?

11. Tidal waves are useless for targetting most locations
Not worth the effort when you have other natural forces of destruction to play with.

25. Simple desctruction
Simply fish out the bulk of the ecosystem of the ocean. Then when the system breaks down we lose one of our chief components of equlibrium of our environment. Then sit back and wait for the end.

33. I would harness human nature.
Spread conspiracy theories so ludicrous that only a monstrously gullible and misguided (though still somewhat intelligent) person would believe and promulgate them - for they will, they absolutely will. That would make discussion of ACTUAL conspiratorial behavior untenable to the wider public; the mere mention of the word would come to serve as a red flag for a loony. So long as you have the Jewish Banking theorists duking it out with the LaRouchies and the Cecil-Rhodes-as-con-messiah folks, talking about the very real transgressions of the Bush family and their cronies will resemble that sort of nuttery and turn people off, leaving genuine collusionists free to operate.

54. Ignorance remains the hands down winner for eons now.
The inability of some to understand the tiger better than it understands them perpetuates a tragedy easily avoided with a little curiosity.

I've heard that the government is counting on our ignorance.

41. I would harness foreign aid and all biting insects.
First, devise a method to incubate a deadly disease from two non-lethal genetically engineered organisms.

Next, put the first part in the food that is given as foreign aid to the targeted oil-rich nation. the object would be to make this chemical or organism available in human blood.

Next, distribute fertilizers containing the second non-lethal genetically engineered organism into the same country. The object would be to make this chemical available within the non edible leaves of plants.

Biting insects, such as mosquito's extract moisture from leaves, and also blood from humans. This is where the magic occurs. The mosquito then acts as the host and incubates the deadly disease which is spread to every animal the mosquito bites.

The greater the carnage, the more the republicans would distribute fertilizer and grain to the stricken nation.

After everyone has died, then stop the aid, and the disease will disappear as both parts are no longer accessible to the incubators.

Republithugs would recieve the good guy award for their failed efforts at "saving" these souls, and would quarenteen the region to all except for the necessary, and vaccinated, Haliburton employees.

53. Actually, it was a spurious reply
I live in an area where lots of republicraps dwell, so I have had ample time to examine their behaviors.

Republicraps love to receive awards for outstanding morality whilst pillaging the weak.
