Let's just say you are an evil cabal and you're determined to kill off as much of the world's population as possible, how many methods are available?

Impressive list, Patriot68. We all know about those methods because we've been seeing them and talking about them here for a good while, but having them all together in-your-face is powerful.
I'll add that even WITHOUT the Cabal's comprehensive Die-Off program, the world is heading into a depopulation nightmare that will have chilling effects across the globe. I'm reading The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization by Peter Zeihan, who points out that nearly every nation has a birthrate well below replacement level, that populations are cratering, that young people (i.e., people who create the next generation and who are required to run businesses of all kinds) are a much smaller percentage of the population than in the past -- and goes on to describe both how we got here, what the many effects will be, and exactly which nations and regions will experience what effects.
Spoiler: China will be among the hardest hit, and the US will remain the best-situated of all; the "winner" in a game where everyone loses.
Zeihan also wrote The Accidental Superpower: The Next Generation of American Preeminence and the Coming Global Disorder. Both books are compulsively readable and create a new (to me anyway, and probably to almost anyone) view of how and why the world situation is as it is. I alternate between enjoying Zeihan's writing, story-telling, and knowledge-base, and being horrified at the future he describes in The End of the World is Just the Beginning.
