As the "Mad Homeopath", I'm going to gather water with really bad memories, dilute it a hundred times and pour it in my city water supply, demanding they give me absolute control or they will all suffer.

I don't think anybody believing in homeopathy would be concerned. Homeopathic theory wouldn't predict that anything bad happens.

On the other hand it's likely blackmail.

Homeopathy would actually predict good results. According to their rule that "like cures like", this would be expected to help people who are currently suffering from bad memories.
