Declassified CIA Manual Shows How US Uses Bureaucracy to Destabilize Governments
Submitted by Jake Anderson via TheAntiMedia.org,
When most people think of CIA sabotage, they think of coups, assassinations, proxy wars, armed rebel groups, and even false flags - not strategic stupidity and purposeful bureaucratic ineptitude. However, according to a declassified document from 1944, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), which later became the CIA, used and trained a curious breed of “citizen-saboteurs” in occupied nations like Norway and France.
The World War II-era document, called Simple Sabotage Field Manual, outlines ways in which operatives can disrupt and demoralize enemy administrators and police forces. The first section of the document, which can be read in its entirety here, addresses “Organizations and Conferences” — and how to turn them into a “dysfunctional mess”:
- 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.
- When possible, refer all matters to committees, for “further study and consideration.” Attempt to make the committee as large as possible — never less than five.
- Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.
- Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.
- Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.
- Advocate “caution.” Be “reasonable” and urge your fellow-conferees to be “reasonable” and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.
On its official webpage, the CIA boasts about finding innovative ways to bring about sabotage, calling their tactics for destabilization “surprisingly relevant.” While they admit that some of the ideas may seem a bit outdated, they claim that “Together they are a reminder of how easily productivity and order can be undermined.”
In a second section targeted at manager-saboteurs, the guide lists the following tactical moves:
- In making work assignments, always sign out the unimportant jobs first. See that important jobs are assigned to inefficient workers.
- Insist on perfect work in relatively unimportant products; send back for refinishing those which have the least flaw.
- To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions.
- Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.
- Multiply the procedures and clearances involved in issuing instructions, paychecks, and so on. See that three people have to approve everything where one would do.
Finally, the guide presents protocol for how saboteur-employees can disrupt enemy operations, too:
- Work slowly.
- Contrive as many interruptions to your work as you can.
- 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.
The CIA is proud of its Kafkaesque field manual and evidently still views it as an unorthodox but effective form of destabilizing enemy operations around the world. Of course, so too might an anarchist or revolutionary look at such tactics and view them in the context of disrupting certain domestic power structures, many of which are already built like a bureaucratic house of cards.
It seems if any country should refrain from showcasing how easy it is to disrupt inefficient federal agencies, however, it would be the United States.

China must have found those documents in one of their hacks.
•Work Slowly: Gobble those tax dollars like Mothers' Milk
•Put Retards In Charge: Nothing spells CHAOS like idiots at the helm!
•Instead Of Nutrition Feed Them Laxatives: 'Nuff said
"Feed Them Laxatives"
Is that what Yellen had when she froze for a while on the Podium? A huge dump.
Am I crazy or does this mean the U.S. is now fully destabilized?
•When A Consensus Has Been Reached: Install an "oversight committee" to fuck things up but good
•When A Member Is Making Too Much Sense: Make him/her speak through helium
•Fart Often And Loud: Never admit or own up to the flatulence
Not one mention that the CIA was actually started by Communists...
Anyone been to the dmv? Seems like this is in play everywhere in government right now.
That was pretty much my first thought. It sure as shit seems like this is being done at every level of government. It's also a side effect of affirmative action - hire dumb people because they are minorities. It's also the inevitable result of large bureaucracies. As the left tries to get more and more things controlled by government, this is sure to grow. There are millions of workers at every level of government who serve no function whatsoever except to justify their own jobs by interfering in things and making it as difficult as possible to actually do anything.
This manual has been applied to the United States and it is working exactly as planned
It's not that they had to convert every business manager to their cause. All they needed to do was convert a couple of people who write business management courses to their cause and then institute them as "best practice".
Middle management suddenly makes sense.
Exactly my thoughts: MBA dipshit dunces destroying productivity & morale.
I have worked for the federal government and these tactics are ongoing within certain agencies. Makes one think who is on whose payroll.
Do you mean to say that when Scott Adams wrote "The Dilbert Principle" and "Dogbert's Top Secret Management Hand Book" he was just reverse engineering a CIA manual?
... or does this mean that we can stop whinging about "inefficient government" because obviously the only reason they are inefficient is because they have been hijacked by the CIA? (Plus a lot of large corporations have also been hijacked by the CIA ) ? ...
The pamphlet reads like some OSS desk jockey had a conversation with the Nazi resistance in Europe and took some notes and passed it off as original thought. By 1944, it wasn't even timely unoriginal thought, it was fighting the last war.
It does until you realize it is actually a Health Insurer's claims processing procedure manual.
•Use Nonsense Words Such As Craptastic, Cromulent, Obama To Reprimand/Encourage Subjects
•When Underlings Get Mouthy: Remind them who signs their checks
•When Underlings Revolt: Take a cane to the soles of their feet. Hard to prove and they won't forget
oh now it makes sense why the free army shit get jobs in govt
Stuffing the government bureaucracies full of diverse incompetents that cannot be removed or restrained is indeed a recipe for national devolution and destruction, and yet it is how government is organized and siloed today...
Merit, honesty, productivity and intelligence should all be more important than class/racial/gender/etc. demographic quotas when considering the hiring of any prospective pubic servant or employee.
As many of you here are aware I'm an absolutely lousy conspiracy theorist. Still, I read this article and wonder "Didn't we already know all this?" I mean, it's probably the worst kept secret of the last 100 years. Weak gruel.

LOL, the burping and gulping; the furtive attempts to feign convalescence. Oh, that was great. I thank you Yogi.
I would like to see a list of countries/gov that we haven't messed with. I'll bet it's a very short list
Someday there will be Payback.
To be eligble for a job in covert operations, an individual must apparently be utterly amoral and cynical in nature, and accept "the ends justify the means" as an axiom.
To be eligble for a job in .gov, an individual must apparently be utterly devoid of independent thought and accepting in nature, and adhere to"political correctness" as an axiom,
Wanna start on Monday?
Vacuous, not articulate.
I am not going to get in pissing match with you: No man should have to go home wtih yellow stains on his socks. Calll me a pacifist.
Remember that scene from Good Will Hunting where Will, Matt Damon, rips a new asshole in that Harvard grad student at the local pub?
That is how I picture you. A useless fucking cock with a Thesaurus and copy of Strunk and White at his bedside table with every page highlighted in yellow.
OK...I lied. I am going to get in a pissing match with you.
Do you drive a Volvo?
Do you INSTALL elbow patches on your blazers to appear more academic?
Do you feel guilty when you masturbate over white women?
This seem like another foreing policy that has backfires the US gov.
It almost reads like a manual for how US industry was destroyed.
...because it IS.
Sounds like the MBAs that run the company I work for were taught using this manual.
So, the CIA is behind the DMV. Thought so.
This is to the letter an account of my experiences as an IT contractor for federal agencies (the most recent of which was six years ago, so it's not new).
This sounds like every blue collar job ive ever worked. Are cia operativez actively sabatoging US companies?
"This sounds like every blue collar job ive ever worked. Are cia operativez actively sabatoging US companies? "
FRB ?
CIA ?
IRS ?
DOD ?
NSA ?
DOE ?
Quite obviously: yes.
There is no need to destabilize gubbermints because they are all destabilized thanks to the CIA, NSA, CFR, and many useful idiots too numerous to mention.
Thank you, thank you very much.
Well, if there was any doubt left that the CIA was running the MSM it's gone now.
It's good that the Pentagram is a major topic these days as there is hardly an issue that can be completely understood without looking at their possible involvement. We don't actually know who really runs the Pentagram but chances are it's the same people behind big banking. With front corporations it's hard to know which came first the chicken or the egg. Could Goldman Sachs be a front organization? Monsanto? Big Pharma? Does it make a difference?
Isn't it likely that both Saudi Arabia and Turkey are puppets that have either been chosen by the pentagram or kept in power by deals made with them?
It's all one big unhappy family. Just check out the names on the list for the Council on Foreign Relations. All major heads of corporations, military, media, politics, judicial system etc. Many of them move around from one pyramid to another, e.g. military to politics to corporations, keeping a toe in each place. It's one big clusterfucking family tree with lots of branches that all touch each other.
More than likely. Undoubtedly. Turkey and the Sauds are both training, funding, and arming these fucks... just like barry obamao and hitlery clinton.
How about a "world-class" education, with inclusive classes, differentiated instruction, and an individual education plan for all?
Ahhh, the formula for the Ron Swanson TV character.
Kermit Roosevelt lays it all out in his book 1979 book Counter Coup ( http://mohsen.1.banan.byname.net/content/republished/doc.public/politics/iran/mossadeq/coutercoup/countercoup.pdf ). He claims to have devised the basic plan for the CIA and sent it to Bill Donovan prior to Pearl Harbour. Interestingly Kermits Ph.D was Propaganda Techniques of the English Civil Wars- and the Propaganda Psychosis of Today.
What is truly amazing to me is that all of these tactics are what our government already does to private business NOW!
Whay are you amazed?
Apparently my local .gov has been infiltrated....
The local government here has been pretty much taken over by a UN governing council and no one seems to be aware. It began in 1978 and entered through state tourism.
Sounds like the memo directing such tactics only be used against the enemy wasn't properly distributed along with the manual.
<<--- C . I . A .
A picture speaks thousand words
(but actually the cabals are behind CIA)
This has been standard operating procedure for every fucking low life filthy bureaucratic parasite in every fucking troughing thieving government office as long as I have lived.
There is nothing new here, and it most certainly is not standard procedure for enemy nations. This is fucking de rigour for every fucking cunt employed by any government worldwide now, who prefers to steal food from the productive end rather than actually work productively.
Kill the fucking parasites
You seem to be at a loss for vocabulary.
The world is grown so bad, that wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch.
Page 31, number 8 marks the birth of public sector unions?
If possible, join or help organize a group for presenting employee problems to the man- agement. See that the procedures adopted are as inconvenient as possible for the management, involving the presence of a large number of employees at each presentation, entailing more than one meeting for each grievance, bringing up problems which are largely imaginary, and so on.
(a) Fires can be started wherever there is an accumulation of inflammable material. Warehouses are obviously the most promising targets but incendiary sabotage need not be confined to them alone.
Looks to me like the standard operation of all but a few American businesses. And from my experience as a consultant - the rest of the world is worse.
RINO operating manual for the republican party.
