1364 || CIA guide to simple sabotage

from Make Your Damn Bed

“Insist on doing everything through ‘channels.’ Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.”“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.”“Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.”“Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.”“‘Misunderstand’ orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders. Quibble over them when you can.”“In making work assignments, always sign out the unimportant jobs first. See that the important jobs are assigned to inefficient workers of poor machines.”“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 conferences when there is more critical work to be done.”“Multiply paperwork in plausible ways.” “Make mistakes in quantities of material when you are copying orders. Confuse similar names. Use wrong addresses.”“Work slowly. Think out ways to increase the number of movements necessary on your job”“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.”“Snarl up administration in every possible way. Fill out forms illegibly so that they will have to be done over; make mistakes or omit requested information in forms.” “Report imaginary spies or danger to the Gestapo or police,” “Act stupid.” “Be as irritable and quarrelsome as possible without getting yourself into trouble,” “Cry and sob hysterically at every occasion, especially when confronted by government clerks.”The article I read: https://www.404media.co/declassified-cia-guide-to-sabotaging-fascism-is-suddenly-viral/The Field Guide: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/26184?Donate to Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund::www.pcrf.netDonate to Mutual Aid Funds: https://www.folxhealth.com/library/mutual-aid-fundsGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.
