Where destruction is involved, the weapons of the citizen-saboteur are salt, nails, candles, pebbles, thread, or any other materials he might normally be expected to possess as a householder or as a worker in his particular occupation.

Among the potential citizen-saboteurs who are to engage in physical destruction, two extreme types may be distinguished. On the one hand, there is the man who is not technically trained and employed. This man needs specific suggestions as to what he can and should destroy as well as details

Specific examples, which need not be from his own field, should accomplish this.

Insist on perfect work in relatively unimportant products; send back for refinishing those which have the least flaw.

Once he is encouraged to think backwards about himself and the objects of his everyday life, the saboteur will see many opportunities in his immediate environment which cannot possibly be seen from a distance.

Work slowly.

Work slowly.

Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work.

Even if you speak the language, pretend not to understand instructions in a foreign tongue.

Simple sabotage does not require specially prepared tools or equipment; it is executed by an ordinary citizen who may or may not act individually and without the necessity for active connection with an organized group; and it is carried out in such a way as to involve a minimum danger of injury,

A second type of simple sabotage requires no destruc tive tools whatsoever and produces physical damage, if any, by highly indirect means.

However, this man needs to be stimulated to re-orient his thinking in the direction of destruction.

A non-cooperative attitude may involve nothing more than creating an unpleasant situation among one's fellow workers, engaging in bickerings, or displaying surliness and stupidity.

Acts of simple sabotage, multiplied by thousands of citizen- saboteurs, can be an effective weapon against the enemy.

See that the important jobs are assigned to inefficient workers of poor machines.

Even if you speak the language, pretend not to understand instructions in a foreign tongue.

Purposeful stupidity is contrary to human nature.

Confuse similar names.

If you are cutting, shaping or doing other measured work, measure dimensions twice as often as you need to.

Fill out forms illegibly so that they will have to be done over; make mistakes or omit requested information in forms.

A non-cooperative attitude may involve nothing more than creating an unpleasant situation among one's fellow workers, engaging in bickerings, or displaying surliness and stupidity.

Do your work poorly and blame it on bad tools, machinery, or equipment.

The contents of this Manual should be carefully controlled and should not be allowed to come into unauthorized hands.

Mix good parts with unusable scrap and rejected parts.

Making a faulty decision may be simply a matter of placing tools in one spot instead of another.

To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions.

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.

When you go to the lavatory, spend a longer time there than is necessary.

Acts of destruction do not bring him any personal gain and may be completely foreign to his habitually conservationist attitude toward materials and tools.
