This book contains advice and ideas for sabotage that could be carried out using simple equipment and methods. It considers methods of destruction and also obstructive techniques.

Inspired by the Simple Sabotage Field Manual released by the Office of Strategic Services in 1944 to train European resistors, this is the essential handbook to help stamp out unintentional sabotage in any working group, from major corporations to volunteer PTA committees. In 1944, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS)—the predecessor of today’s CIA—issued the Simple Sabotage Field Manual that detailed sabotage techniques designed to demoralize the enemy. One section focused on eight incredibly subtle—and devastatingly destructive—tactics for sabotaging the decision-making processes of organizations. While the manual was written decades ago, these sabotage tactics thrive undetected in organizations today: Insist on doing everything through channels. Make speeches. Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Refer all matters to committees. Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible. Haggle over precise wordings of communications. Refer back to matters already decided upon and attempt to question the advisability of that decision. Advocate caution and urge fellow-conferees to avoid haste that might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on. Be worried about the propriety of any decision. Everyone has been faced with someone who has used these tactics, even when they have meant well. Filled with proven strategies and techniques, this brief, clever book outlines the counter-sabotage measures to detect and reduce the impact of these eight classic sabotage tactics to improve productivity, spur creativity, and engender better collegial relationships.

Any regime claiming a territorial monopoly on the use of force coupled with the power to tax is a threat to life, liberty, and, most importantly, private property. Freedom seeking people everywhere live under occupation by monopoly states claiming decision making authority over every aspect of their lives, taking their livelihoods at will in the name of democracy. The so-called Liberty Movement is doing it wrong. Libertarian proselytizing does not work. Agorism does not work. Similarly, direct confrontations with Leviathan will not work. To secure the blessings of liberty the monopoly State must be undermined at every turn and, to do so, new tactics are required before instituting new safeguards for freedom. The Sedition, Subversion, and Sabotage Field Manual No. 1: A Three-Part Solution to the State offers a three-pronged strategy for effective action. If you are looking for a results-oriented tactical primer on liberating humanity from the chains of slavery, this is it!

"The Simple Sabotage Field Manual was a top secret document written in 1944 by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the precursor of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The manual was originally created during World War II for operatives in Europe who were trying to recruit civilians to carry out sabotage in occupied countries. The manual was eventually declassified in 2008 and is now in the public domain due to it being a work of the United States federal government. This book is republished by Origami Books due to its historical value. This book is intended for historical interests and is not to be used as guide for illegal conducts."--Publisher's note.

The CIA's Simple Sabotage Field Manual: A Timeless Guide to Subverting Any Organization with "Purposeful Stupidity"

Magic or spycraft? In 1953, against the backdrop of the Cold War, the CIA initiated a top-secret program, code-named MKULTRA, to counter Soviet mind-control and interrogation techniques. Realizing that clandestine officers might need to covertly deploy newly developed pills, potions, and powders against the adversary, the CIA hired America's most famous magician, John Mulholland, to write two manuals on sleight of hand and undercover communication techniques. In 1973, virtually all documents related to MKULTRA were destroyed. Mulholland's manuals were thought to be among them—until a single surviving copy of each, complete with illustrations, was recently discovered in the agency's archives. The manuals reprinted in this work represent the only known complete copy of Mulholland's instructions for CIA officers on the magician's art of deception and secret communications.
