Wikileaks Gets Hold of Counterinsurgency Manual
HeavensBlade23 writes in to let us know that Wikileaks has published a US Special Forces counterinsurgency manual, titled Foreign Internal Defense Tactics Techniques and Procedures for Special Forces (1994, 2004). "The document, which has been verified, is official US Special Forces doctrine. It directly advocates training paramilitaries, pervasive surveillance, censorship, press control and restrictions on labor unions & political parties. It directly advocates warrantless searches, detainment without charge and the suspension of habeas corpus. It directly advocates bribery, employing terrorists, false flag operations and concealing human rights abuses from journalists. And it directly advocates the extensive use of 'psychological operations' (propaganda) to make these and other 'population & resource control' measures more palatable."
Does this mean you can't win wars by giving the enemy a lollipop?
Jools, Jops and Stoo, for a start. War has never been so much fun!
Real Daleks don't climb stairs - they level the building.
I liked the part environmental impact. Now remember boys and girls after violating international law and illegally foreign civilians clean up your messes. That is American morality in a nutshell focus on the trivial and utterly miss the big picture. And I say that as both an American citizen and environmentalist, but also above all a humanist.
Tired of all the isms, don't exploit people as an employer, or a government, mmmmK?
Kill em with your gun, kill em with your gun! War has never been so much fun! Those were the days - hmm, still is *boots* winuae.
Rest in peace Malin "looxn" Kristiansen. We miss you...
Error: Infinite loop! *boom*
But I was intrigued by the use of the world 'peasant'. I figured that it was a term that only made sense in a feudal system - so like the proper netizen that I am, I toddled off to Wikipedia to clarify my thoughts.
I got no further than the first line:
Not to be confused with pheasants.
ROFL! What's that, a guideline for the upper classes when on a shooting party!
Sorry. I never did find out about the peasants.

If that isn't the case, you can whip out the really effective counterinsurgency measures (purges, ethnic cleansing, random killings to keep people afraid, retribution quotas, death camps, etc).
you've been to new jersey, too, I see.

I mean, where are the true believers now? Does anyone seriously think that western governments have any kind of moral credibility?
But... but... but... our counterinsurgency tactics are working so well.Post may contain irony: discontinue use if experiencing mood swings, nausea or elevated blood pressure.
I think the key is to play it in "Normal" mode. "Easy" mode is too easy and "Hard" mode can get frustrating. Normal mode is the most fun. Save the "Hard" mode for after you win it in "Normal" mode.
Bush: Alright, let's do this, let's kick some ass!
Officer: Ah, George, the war is over.
Bush: What?
Officer: Yeah, it's done.
Bush: Get outta here, you serious?
Officer: Yeah.
Bush: Oh man, Ahh, I just got your messages (stumbling). I'm sorry.
Officer: George it's been over for a while.
Bush: Really?
Officer: It's 1981.
Bush: Oh, oh wow, so, I'm way late. Oh boy. Well, you wanna do something else?
Officer: I got some blow.
Bush: Son-of-a-bitch, it took you this long to tell me. Break it out man!
