| HOW NOT TO GET CAUGHT! |
| Martyrs have their place in every movement, and they can be quite effective symbols; however, substance wins over symbolism every time, and you can't do anything substantial if you are sitting behind bars. The Confederate guerrilla is, by the nature of his activities, the free-est of free men. The only way that he can maintain that freedom of action is not to get caught, and the only way not to get caught is not to be identified. How do most guerrillas get caught? One way - by opening their mouths. Giving in to the urge to brag, to confide, or to take credit for your actions is a one-way ticket to jail. Like the Good Book says, never let the left hand know what the right hand is doing. With each partner, or each person who has an inkling of what you're up to, the odds of your getting caught go up by another power. The guerrilla, if he is to survive and remain free, must be known as Clark Kent, not Superman. Your secret, day-to-day identity should give no clue as to who you actually are in the early, unorganized stages of resistance. This means that you will be largely separated from your ideological brethren in the movement: that is the price of secrecy, and it is a price you must be willing to pay. Leave the above-ground organizational work to those who are physically incapable or mentally and spiritually unsuited to do what is required of the dedicated guerrilla. Do not despise them; they serve the movement too, as you do, according to the individual's capabilities and inclinations. Surely I can trust my wife or girlfriend? Yes - you can trust her to blackmail you with it or give you up to the Yankee occupation government in the event of a divorce or break-up. Parents? No, they'll surrender you "for your own good." Friends? All it takes is for one of them to get in trouble, and 9 times out of 10 he'll sell you out to save his own skin. Remember that, if you confide an illegal act to someone, you have involved them in conspiracy, a criminal offense that they can be imprisoned for if it is found that they discussed it with you. Consider people who have been caught - whether guerrillas for various causes, like the Unibomber or various Klan/White Nationalist figures, or powerful criminals such a mob bosses and drug kingpins: in nearly every case, these people have fallen because they confided in someone as to what they were doing, or trusted someone to act as an assisstant, and were turned on, either because the trustee was caught and trying to save himself, or because he was an infiltrator out to get the individual in question from the very beginning. In the case of the Unibomber, who trusted no one, he was caught because he didn't keep his secret identity secret enough, and was turned in by his own brother, who recognized his writing style and his agenda. In his case, he appeared to be what he was - a fatal error. To be successful in the early stages, the guerrilla must be a lone wolf: literally an "army of one." In his secret identity, he must blend in to his social surroundings like a chamelion, and be totally unremarkable. He must be a serpent in the darkness and lightning without thunder, unseen both before he strikes and afterward. His deeds are seen only by God and himself. |

| HEAVING UNREST: Puking for the Cause! |
| On 21 March, the San Francisco Gate reported that a group opposed to the United States war of invasion and agression against Iraq had engaged in a unique but very effective form of protest at the Federal Building - a "vomit-in." Such an ingenious act would be very effective, resulting in a horrible mess. It would be difficult to prosecute someone just for being sick. If a guerrilla decides to go this route, he should make the most of it. Quantity is the way to go, along with variety for "color". A vomiter would normally gorge himself until he could simply not hold anymore - that would put him half-way there. Ideally, he should be able to make himself throw up, but syrup of Ipacec would probably work as a stimulator in a pinch. Once the first person goes, especially if it happens in (or on) a crowd, others will very likely involuntarily join in the fun, as such activity tends to be contagious! Big, political dinners would be ideal for this too - just ask President George Bush the 1st; in one of the most memorable acts of international relations seen in recent times, he up-chucked on the Japanese Head of State at a banquet, just before fainting on him! |
