This thread is pointless, you could just funnel some billion dollars into lie detectors, or get a new face then rule anonymously through some system.

Assume that no matter who worked on your face, they would tell other people because you are their leader and they couldn't bear to let you go, even on pain of death.

Also assume that no matter how many billions of dollars you funnel lie detectors, they do not work with any real degree of accuracy. What then?

Why don't you know that the technology for perfect lie detectors is already here. It is only the fact that every one is much much more short sighted and illogical than me is holding us all back.

Sounds like the mad genius side of world domination is starting to take root. What's next, the "I'll show them!" or the "No, you fools!"?

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.
