Military coupe

Name: Anonymous 2007-11-29 16:29

Just a question for all of you politically savvy people out there...
If you where a ruler of a country and stage a Coupe (Bloodless) with military forces from your own country and another, what would be the best way to annouce it? How could you make it seem like a necessary action and how would you announce complete control over the government, you being a dictator...
Thanks for your thoughts.

WOW You spotted the spelling errors! Now get back on your short bus boy.

Shouldn't this letter be capitalized?

Actually, you don't have to announce anything.
Like those guys in Cambodia. The people didn't even know the name of their new dictator before the regime fell.

The best way would be to have a type of election with some changes.

1: Declare yourself an interim government before the next election to maintain law and order. Don't piss anyone off or oppress anyone, act more like a president than a dictator. Don't support any particular ideology, religion, race etc.. for the time being.
2: Create a new state position, the supreme judge, whom has no control over the country and merely acts as the guy who makes sure the government runs smoothly. Tell the media that this position is needed to fix the system that led to instability in the first place.
3: As an interim government you have free hand over the registration of political parties for the next election. For those parties that support you, bribe the fuck out of them. For parties that oppose you grab some young uppity party members, bribe the fuck out of them and declare them the party leader being voted for in the election to make sure there are few changes to your interim government.
4: When a party finally gets elected you will have a senate/parliament in which the movers and shakers are pretty much under your control.
5: Use the new cash flow to bribe the media into passing you off as a hero, create personality cult etc..

Well i guess i would create a problem that would require such a military take over such as a foreign invasion or a multitude of  terrorist type attacks of such severity they would ask you to take over... automatically making you the hero of the people. Now you would have to find a way to keep such power... i believe this is when you step in a propaganda machine. Also instead of oppressing your people let them flourish create public works and schools...but control what media goes into your country. And remain in the public eye as  >>5 said create a cult like following...all along reminding them of the dangers they faced before your control.

Don't change these.
