Government-Fight Against Socialism
…Democrat have a long
history of graft, corruption and cheating going back to their Civil War era
days of the KKK and carpet baggers.
Historically, they cheat on elections [think Chicago’s Mayor Daley,
Obama’s ACORN group, Tammany Hall and others]
Most use their office to enrich themselves and family members-think
Obama, the Clinton’s and the Biden Family, as a few examples…
No longer do Dems
concern themselves with the working family, it’s all graft and special favors
for the union supporters, media allies and others.
We need to fight back
and stop getting fleeced by these socialists; they’re crushing our liberty,
eroding our purchasing power and making a mockery of freedom.
If you work for a government that is exhibiting authoritarian
tendencies, there are many nonviolent methods you can use to obstruct and
impede the implementation of its policies.
Far from being rational, smooth-running machines, large
bureaucracies bumble and stumble along, wallowing in inefficiency, waste and
disastrous miscalculations. They are riddled with cracks, weaknesses,
vulnerabilities and contradictions.
That insight was tacitly recognized by the US Office of
Strategic Services (OSS—the predecessor to the CIA) in a little pamphlet
called Simple
Sabotage Field Manual. Published in 1944, it was apparently distributed to
enemy countries during WW II in an attempt to encourage disruption of their
government’s war effort.
The manual is not about sophisticated operations like destroying
ammunition depots or blowing up bridges. Rather, it encourages what the OSS
calls “simple sabotage” that can be performed by ordinary folks.
The pamphlet is full of tips on how to undermine the war effort
by causing machinery to break down prematurely, surreptitiously weakening
infrastructure and wasting time on the job. Some ideas are clever; others
downright wacky—like this one:
“Anyone can break up a showing of an enemy propaganda film by
putting two or three dozen large moths in a paper bag. Take the bag to the
movies with you, put it on the floor in an empty section of the theater as you
go in and leave it open. The moths will fly out and climb into the projector
beam, so that the film will be obscured by fluttering shadows.”
Sabotage is a
deliberate action aimed at weakening a polity, effort, or organization
through subversion, obstruction, disruption, or destruction. One who engages in
sabotage is a saboteur. Saboteurs typically try to conceal their
identities because of the consequences of their actions and to avoid invoking
legal and organizational requirements for addressing sabotage
But the most interesting ideas from the viewpoint of nonviolent
action come at the end of the manual and might be described as “social
sabotage.” This type of disruption “…requires no destructive tools whatsoever
and produces physical damage, if any, by highly indirect means. It is based on
universal opportunities to make faulty decisions, to adopt a non-cooperative
attitude, and to induce others to follow suit.”
The manual makes clear that the goal is simply to exacerbate the
bureaucracy’s natural tendencies: “The potential saboteur should discover what
types of faulty decisions and noncooperation are normally found in his
kind of work and should then devise his sabotage so as to enlarge that ‘margin
of error.'”
Gene Sharp calls
this “stalling and obstruction” when practiced by government workers. It is
number144 in his list of 198
methods.

SIDEBAR
One of the most effective uses of sabotage is against
organizations. The OSS manual provides numerous techniques under the title "General Interference
with Organizations and Production":
·
When possible, refer
all matters to committees for "further study and consideration".
Attempt to make the committees as large as possible—never fewer than five
·
Bring up irrelevant
issues as frequently as possible.
·
Haggle over precise
wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.
·
In making work
assignments, always sign out unimportant jobs first, assign important jobs to
inefficient workers with poor machines.
·
Insist on perfect work
in relatively unimportant products; send back for refinishing those with the
least flaw. Approve other defective parts whose flaws are not visible to the
naked eye.
·
To lower morale, and
with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved
promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about
their work.
·
Hold meetings when
there is more critical work to be done.
·
Multiply procedures
and clearances involved in issuing instructions, paychecks, and so on. See that
multiple people must approve everything where one would do.
·
Spread disturbing
rumors that sound like inside information.
From the section entitled, "General Devices for Lowering
Morale and Creating Confusion" comes the following quintessential simple
sabotage advice: "Act stupid!
