!. Simple Sabotage Tips
Unhappy with Everyday Life?
Frothing at the Mouth against oppressive bureaucracy?
Sick of petty tyrants and tin pot dictators?
Tormented by intrusive modern technology?
Feel like "sticking it to the man"?

 2. The following is taken from sections 11,12 of the OSS's Simple Sabotage Field Manual, a 1944 document that has been declassified. The OSS became the CIA after WWII. The full document is here.

3. (a) Organizations and Conferences
Insist on doing everything through "channels." Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to, expedite decisions.
4. Make "speeches." Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your "points" by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences.
Never hesitate to make a few appropriate "patriotic" comments.
5. When possible, refer all matters to committees, for "further study & consideration"
make the committees as large as possible - never less than 5
- Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible
- Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions
6. Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to reopen the question of the advisability of that decision.
- Advocate "caution."
- urge your fellow-conferees to be "reasonable" & avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.
7. Be worried about the propriety of any decision -raise the question of whether such action as is contemplated lies within the jurisdiction of the group or whether it might conflict with the policy of some higher echelon.
8. (b) Managers and Supervisors
- Demand written orders.
- "Misunderstand" orders.
- Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders.
- Quibble over them when you can.
9. Do everything possible to delay delivery of orders. Even though parts of an order may be ready, don't deliver it until completely ready
- Don't order new materials until current stocks have been virtually exhausted, so that delay in filling your order will mean a shutdown.
10. Order high-quality materials which are hard to get. If you don't get them argue about it. Warn that inferior materials will mean inferior work.
- In making work assignments, always sign out the unimportant jobs first.
- Assign important jobs to inefficient workers.
11. Insist on perfect work in relatively unimportant products; send back for refinishing those which have the least flaw. Approve other defective parts whose flaws are not visible.
- Make mistakes in routing so that parts and materials will be sent to the wrong place in the plant
12. When training new workers, give incomplete or misleading instructions.
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.
13. Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.
Multiply paper work in plausible ways. Start duplicate files.
Multiply procedures & clearances involved in issuing instructions, pay checks, & so on. See that 3 people have to approve everything where one would do.
14. Apply all regulations to the last letter.
15. c) Office Workers
Make mistakes in quantities of material when you are copying orders. Confuse similar names. Use wrong addresses.
Prolong correspondence with government bureaus.
Misfile essential documents.
16. In making copies, make one too few, so that an extra copying job will have to be done.
- Tell important callers the boss is busy or talking on another telephone.
- Hold up mail until the next collection
- Delete Emails
- Spread disturbing rumors that sound like insider info.
17. d) Employees
Work slowly
- Think out ways to increase the number of movements necessary on your job: use a light hammer instead of a heavy one, try to make a small wrench do when a big one is necessary, use little force where considerable force is needed, and so on.
18. Contrive as many interruptions to your work as you can: when changing material on which you are working, as you would on a lathe or punch, take needless time to do it. If you are cutting, shaping or doing other measured work, measure dimensions twice as often as you need to.
19. When you go to the lavatory, spend a longer time there than is necessary. Forget tools so that you will have to go back after them.
- Even if you understand the language, pretend not to understand instructions in a foreign tongue.
20. Pretend that instructions are hard to understand, and ask to have them repeated more than once. Or pretend that you are particularly anxious to do your work, and pester the foreman with unnecessary questions.
21. Do your work poorly and blame it on bad tools, machinery, or equipment. Complain that these things are preventing you from doing your job right.
- Never pass on your skill and experience to a new or less skillful worker.
22. Snarl up administration in every possible way.
- Fill out forms illegibly so that they will have to be done over again and again.
- Make mistakes or omit requested information in forms.
23. Organise a group for presenting employee problems to management
- See that procedures adopted are as inconvenient as possiblet, involving the presence of many employees at each presentation, entailing more than one meeting for each grievance, bringing up imaginary problems
24. Misroute materials.
- Mix good parts with unusable scrap and rejected parts.
25. (e) General Devices for Lowering Morale and Creating Confusion
- Give lengthy and incomprehensible explanations when questioned.
- Report imaginary spies or danger to Security
- Act stupid.
- Be as irritable and quarrelsome as possible without getting yourself into trouble.
26. Misunderstand all sorts of regulations concerning such matters as rationing, transportation, traffic regulations.
- Complain against ersatz & sub-standard materials.
- In public treat State officials and Bureaucrats coldly.
27. Stop all conversation when Bureaucrats, Civil servants, IT workers or passport officials enter a cafe or bar.
- Cry and sob hysterically at every occasion, especially when confronted by government clerks or passport officials
28. Boycott all movies, entertainments, concerts, newspapers which are in any way connected with the quisling authorities.
29. MOTIVATING THE SABOTEUR
To incite the citizen to the active practice of simple sabotage and to keep him practicing that sabotage over sustained periods is a special problem.
30. Personal Motives
31. Since the effect of his own acts is limited, the saboteur may become discouraged unless he feels that he is a member of a large, though unseen, group of saboteurs operating against the enemy or the government of his own country and elsewhere
32. More important than (a) or (b) would be to create a situation in which the citizen-saboteur acquires a sense of responsibility and begins to educate others in simple sabotage.
33. Encouraging Destructiveness
It should be pointed out to saboteurs that they are acting in self-defence or retaliating against the enemy for their acts of destruction.
- A reasonable amount of humour when presenting suggestions for simple sabotage will relax tensions of fear
34. The saboteur may have to reverse his thinking
35. 2 types of potential citizen-saboteurs who are to engage in physical destruction:
1. Not technically trained & employed
They need specific suggestions as to what he can and should destroy as well as details regarding the tools by means of which destruction is accomplished.
36. (2) A technician, such as a machine operator, automobile mechanic or IT expert, who would be able to devise methods of simple sabotage which would be appropriate.
However, they need to be stimulated to re-orient their thinking towards destruction with specific examples
37. Safety Measures
38. Tools of the Trade
It should not be difficult to prepare leaflets & other media for saboteurs about choice of weapons, time, & targets which will insure saboteurs against detection & retaliation
Among such suggestions are the following:
(+ Deep Sea Magnets for IT workers)
39. Commit acts for which large numbers of people could be responsible
- if you blow out the wiring in a factory at a central fire box, almost anyone could have done it
- sabotage after dark, against a military car or truck, is an act for which it would be impossible to blame you
40. Do not be afraid to commit acts for which you might be blamed directly, so long as you do so rarely, and as long as you have a plausible excuse: you dropped your wrench across an electric circuit because you were half-dozing at work. Always be profuse in your apologies.
41. Frequently you can "get away" with such acts under the cover of pretending stupidity, ignorance, over-caution, fear of being suspected of sabotage, or weakness and dullness due to undernourishment.
42. TOOLS, TARGETS, AND TIMING
Simple sabotage is more than malicious mischief, and it should always consist of acts whose results will be detrimental to the materials and manpower of the enemy.
43. The saboteur should be ingenious
All sorts of weapons will present themselves.
For Example:
Emery dust at first may seen unobtainable but if the saboteur were to pulverize an emery knife sharpener or emery wheel with a hammer, he would find himself with a plentiful supply.
44. The saboteur should never attack targets beyond his capacity or the capacity of his instruments. An inexperienced person should not, for example, attempt to use explosives, but should confine himself to the use of matches or other familiar weapons.
45. The saboteur should try to damage only objects & materials known to be in use by the enemy or to be destined for early use by the enemy.
- Almost any product of heavy industry is destined for enemy use
- The most efficient fuels & lubricants also are destined for enemy use.
46. The saboteur should be encouraged to attack transportation facilities of all kinds.
- Among such facilities are roads, railroads, auto mobiles, trucks, motor-cycles, bicycles, trains, and trams.
47. Any communications facilities which can be used by the authorities to transmit instructions or morale material should be the objects of sabotage
These include telephone, mobile phone masts, television & power systems, radio, newspapers, placards, public notices & social media
48. Critical materials, valuable in themselves or necessary to the efficient functioning of transportation and communication, also should become targets for the citizen-saboteur. These may include oil, gasoline, tires, food, and water.
49. SPECIFIC SUGGESTIONS FOR SIMPLE SABOTAGE
It will not be possible to evaluate the desirability of simple sabotage in an area without having in mind rather specifically what individual acts and results are embraced by the definition of simple sabotage.
50. Buildings
Warehouses, barracks, offices, hotels,& factory buildings are outstanding targets for simple sabotage. They are extremely susceptible to damage, especially by fire; they offer opportunities to such untrained people as janitors, charwomen, and casual visitors

1/9 Thread on the Wuhan "seafood market" Environmental Samples Issue
Conspiracy theories and doubt proliferate when there is lack of transparency. For example, regarding environmental samples which tested positive at the Wuhan seafood market

10. Conclusion:
CCDC has refused to release this data, has refused to release specific detail of environmental samples tested positive at market, refused permission for WHO to investigate & has stonewalled all attempts to obtain key information.
Why do you think CCDC does this?

Gather round, Gentle Readers. It is time I tell the story of the worst decision I ever made in an office. Some of you have heard this. Some have not. Whatever you do in your office today, this week, the rest of this year, you can console yourself by recalling this tale.

A long time ago, I was a talent agent. I worked for a woman named Susan Smith, who had her own small boutique agency. She was known for three things:

1. She had fantastic taste in clients. If there is someone you admire, odds are good that at some point, she was their agent,

2. She could negotiate a deal like few who have ever trod the earth. Casting would give her all the money they had budgeted for that part, plus a little more, plus promising to get her dog Barnaby groomed. She was magnificent to watch.

3. She was insane.

I'm sure you're thinking, "Quinn, it's the entertainment industry, they are all insane." Yes, many are. So consider this; if you told someone you worked for Susan, people who worked for insane people would look and you and whisper, "I hear she's insane."

Some of you will probably know I'm currently grieving. It's a month since my fantastic sister died. I've been thinking a lot about loss, progress and reckoning and coming to terms, both personally and as a society. And I've been wondering: how will we remember the pandemic dead?

The UK is filled with memorials to the dead of wars, of disasters, of lifeboat crews and atrocities. We are a landscape haunted by attempts to remember the brave and the innocent. Villages, towns, businesses, communities: all grouped together to pay for plaques, statues, gardens

I have a terror that in our desire to get 'back to normal' we will forget those lost and things lost during the current pandemic. There's not an enemy they were overcome by; not a single flashpoint of tragedy. Those lost to the pandemic are an uncomfortable reminder of failure

Rebecca Solnit talks about hope only coming from knowing history. People may be optimistic about the future post-covid-19, but that's just desire and dream. For us to build a hopeful future we need to acknowledge and feel what has been lost; to repair and grow, not just erase

The thing is, I don't know if our communities know how to remember what is lost, not in ways that are meaningful to all of that community. Religion is a great enabler of remembrance, but that's not something everyone has. I'm wondering how we fully inhabit our collective sorrow

3. @Potus knew that before he could begin cleansing the US and the rest of the world of the DS, he would have to cut one of the financial head's off the snake (Alwaleed). After JK met w/ King Salman, Alwaleed was arrested and divested of billions; MBS became leader of SA.


4. SA loves Pres Trump because he's a man of his word; SA could not trust Hussein or Clintons because they use SA for oil and leverage; SA has many factions, but essentially you have the new and upcoming SA that is attempting to modernize through Crown Prince MBS, and then you

RISHI ASHTAVAKRA(DEVAL)

Those who are well versed in our ancient scriptures must definitely have come across the name of Ashtavakra Muni. Who was he and what is the story behind his body getting crooked from all sides.

Muni Asit was the son of Pracheta Rishi.


He was childless and this caused a lot of worry to him. But an Akashvani assured him that he should go to Shivji to get all his
worries nullified.

So he along with his wife go to Shivji and after paying him obeisance start singing Shivji's praises.

He describes Shiv as the one who is beyond any other thing, whose glory has no words to describe. After this the couple stands with folded hands in front of Rudradev. The strotras sung in praise of Shiv possess magical qualities even today.

Shiv gets satisfied by them soon and is ready to grant a boon.

Shiva told him that, he very well knew what the Muni desired. He then gives him the "Sansaar Vijay' mantra and asks him to keep reciting it. The Isht devi would come at an appropriate time and fulfill his wish.

Asit Muni kept reciting this mantra for hundred years. The Devi appeared and granted him the boon of a son as a Shivansh. A son was born and was named as Deval. He grew upto be a great scholar well versed and a handsome young man. Asit Muni got him married to Ratnamalavati.

Make them irrelevant > Hold a grudge

Holding a grudge is the easy thing to do.

But holding a grudge is not the right thing to do.

A grudge puts poison in your body & rewires your subconscious mind.

You consume the poison & destroy your reality while your attacker sleeps like a baby.

Sri Devi Karumariamman mandir, Chennai, Tamilnadu

Sri Devi Karumariamman mandir is in Thiruverkadu, a suburb of Chennai. It is said that God Muruga came here and obtained the 'Vel' (spear) from His mother, Goddess Karumari (an avatar of Parvathi) 1/n


to fight the demon Suran and hence this place was called as 'Vel kadu' and became as Verkadu. As per legend Devi Karumariamman once disguised as a soothsayer visited Bhagwan Surya, the Sun God, to predict His future. 2/n


Not realising that the soothsayer is none other than Sakthi Matha, Surya ignored Her. Angered by his indifference, Devi Karumariamman immediately retreated. Bhagwan Surya lost His glory and the earth plunged into darkness. 3/n


Bhagwan Surya then realised His folly and pleaded forgiveness from Devi Karumariamman. In order to pacify mother Karumariamman, Suryadev said that His rays would fall on Her directly twice in a year and touch her feet. (in the month of Panguni (March- April) & during (Sep - Oct)


Mother Karumari Amman is worshipped here in two forms.A swayambu (self manifested) with only head visible above the ground and another one in a graceful sitting posture with all Parasakthi features,with four arms holding skull, sword, trishul, udukkai (damru). 5/n

- How well they lead a team &
- Make the vision happen
- Most impressed when someone is way ahead of where you thought they would be when you check up/see them a few months later.

2) Indie Makers have such a benefit of being small, fast, nimble workers in comparison to big companies.

We can easily pivot and vastly change a project of ours. We can change as we learn more about our users.

Big companies can take months/years for even the smallest of pivots.

3) Before you find a product market you can pivot your project as many times as necessary until you find something that works.

Then you only have one thing to do: scale, scale, scale.

4) Be obsessed with the little details.
- listen to every single person who uses your product
- reply to every single person who emails you about your product
- ask them what they like and do not like
- iterate your product, make changes, pivot if necessary

5) Paul Graham's (@paulg) name came up with a feeling of great admiration! Naturally! It was Paul who said:

In the early stages of a company just;
- write code
- talk/sell to customers to stress test your idea

Nothing else.
