Espionage Management

Espionage “golden” rules

1. No mercy, no ideology, no emotions.

2. Intuition is nothing but the ability to watch and analyze.

3. No evidence is evidence in itself.

4. Distrust is a mother of security.

5. Never look as if you are sizing up the person — that’s a sign that gives away cops and spies.

6. Don’t start first if you don’t know the rules.

7. The way you act is the way you think — behavior is a system of codes (information) which could be calculated by the enemy. Watch your face — that’s a shop window.

8. Think fast, talk slow.

9. Avoid self-programming and never think bad about yourself.

10. Don’t smoke, drink or take drugs if it’s not necessary; spare your stomach from very hot or cold food or drinks; avoid too much noise and light.

11. Don’t be shy to lie — the more you lie the more people respect you.

12. Let people talk out and “empty their brains” — then load your information.

13. People never change — everybody wants to get pleasure and avoid pain.

14. “He knew too much” means “He talked too much.”

15. Never ask extra questions — wait. Wait and the object will get used to you and open himself — nobody can stay tense for long.

16. Lonely people live longer in espionage business.

17. “No exit” situation is the one you don’t like or don’t understand.

18. Avoid:

- personal enemies (they fix negative information on you).

- silent types (they notice and think too much).

- other professionals (they’ll blow your identity).

- extra stress (it damages your heart and blood vessels and that kills your brain and your ability to think).

- talking too much.

Chapter 1. Coups

Coups, like war, are one of the most violent tools of special services and one could be artificially staged in a target country by “feeding” and “pushing” the political opposition or by using VIP agents in the government.

Most coups are “Bureaucratic,” and entail mainly a change of leader, usually by person #2. That person might be the trigger or might be induced to practice “passive sabotage” and allow certain others to take over. It is also an example of political engineering. Coups usually use the power of the existing government for its own takeover.

Conditions for a successful coup: -the army is supportive or at least neutral (a coup usually involves control of some active-portion of the military while neutralizing the remainder of the armed services).

-the leader is out of town (vacation, visit abroad) or is ill.

-a political or economic crisis.

-opponents fail to dislodge the plotters, allowing them to consolidate their position, obtain the surrender or acquiescence of the populace, and claim legitimacy.

Military Coup

Changing a civilian government to a military one, usually in developing countries.

Conditions: a long-term political and economic crisis that threatens national security and the unity of the country.

Military chief(s) eventually let the people elect a civilian president and form a civilian government after “re-construction” of political and economic systems. They usually leave for themselves the right to control further political process. A good example is the attempt of anti-Nazi officers to assassinate Hitler in a coup.

On July 20, 1944, Colonel Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg brought a bomd-laden suitcase into a briefing room where Hitler was holding a meeting. The bomb exploded and several persons were killed. Hitler ws wounded, but his life was saved when the suitcase was unwittingly moved away by someone.

Hitler was shielded from the blast by the conference table, leaving him with minor injuries. Subsequently about 5,000 people were arrested by the Gestapo and about 200, including Stauffenberg, were executed in connection with attempt, some on the very same day (which means that Himmler was involved and knew perfectly well about the coup).

“Democratic” Coup

A democratic coup would be a change of the government by the most aggressive (nationalistic) political party.

Conditions:

-artificial or actual government crisis

-mass anti-government propaganda

-organized “democratic” movement all over the country

-provoked mass protests (10,000 participants and up) and civil disobedience actions

To provoke a mass anti-government meeting you have to bring to the place well-trained group of agitators (bring as many as you can), and they will inevitably attract an equal number of curious persons who seek adventures and emotions, as well as those unhappy with the government (unemployed people, young and old, are usually very supportive).

Arrange transportation of the participants to take them to meeting places in private or public vehicles. Design placards, flags and banners with different radical slogans or key words; prepare flyers, pamphlets (with instructions for the participants), posters and signs (to make the concentration more noticeable). It’s good if you place a surveillance team on the top floors of the nearby buildings - they will report any changes in the event; have also messengers to transmit your orders. Remember, if you clash with police and military and a participant(s) is being killed, the conflict inflames right away.

Your people can also infiltrate the spontaneous anti-government meeting and turn it into a mass radical demonstration with fights and incidents. Key agitators (with security attached to them) have to be dispersed and stand by placards, signs, lampposts; they have to avoid places of disturbances, once they have provoked them.

-the leader of the meeting must be protected by a ring of bodyguards (they protect him from police or help him to escape).

-government buildings must be “covered” by a blockade “Democratic” nationalistic coup in Ukraine (2004), so-called “orange revolution”.

Scenario: acts of civil disobedience, strikes, sit-ins (in the central square), aggressive propaganda, mass demands to remove the 2004 Ukrainian presidential election.

Revolution

A change of government and political and economic systems by political gangsters, usually fed, pushed, incited, and possibly funded and equipped by the secret services of another country. (Even the American Revolution would not have succeeded without French military advisors and financial support.) Government buildings are blockaded, the government isolated, all communications and transportation systems captured, government media closed, new government formed.

Conditions:

-political and economic crisis

-mass anti-government propaganda (in the army too)-provoked mass protests and civil disobedience actions -terror and urban guerrillas

Self-coup

The current government assumes extraordinary powers not allowed by the legislation. It often happens when the president is democratically elected, but later takes control of the legislative and judicial powers.

Chapter 2. Special Operations

1. “Domino” or “chain reaction.” A coup, revolution or civil war in one country provokes the same actions in other countries (neighbors). It doesn't matter what country is going to be next, most important - what country is a target.

2. “False flag”. The planned, but never executed, 1962 Operation Northwoods plot by the U.S. administration for a war with Cuba involved scenarios such as hijacking a passenger plane and blaming it on Cuba.

3. “Sliding” strategy. Transformation of a secret operation into an open one: support of illegal opposition/coup.

4. “Restriction.” You damage (limit) international and economic connections (projects) of the enemy.

5. “Monopoly.” Special operation to keep country’s monopoly or status as economic leader or special (nuclear) holder, or high tech producer. Includes actions to restrict the attempts of other countries to get strategic raw materials and modern weapons and technologies.

6. “Reverse effect.” The government declares a certain goal and launches a military or special operation, but the result is something quite different, possibly opposite. Examples: instead of separating (ethnic) group “A” from group “B” both of them are being exterminated; instead of peace and democracy in a certain region, power is being concentrated in one group and the opposition is being exterminated.

7. “Clash.” You “clash” the government and opposition of a target country and support civil war until the country is ruined and you get it for free.

8. “Salami-slice strategy”. It’s a process of threats and alliances used to overcome opposition. It includes the creation of several factions within the opposing political party, and then dismantling that party from inside, without causing the “sliced” sides to protest.

9. “Positive shock.” A domestic operation; to save the government during a crisis, special service provokes artificial civil conflict or sabotage, imitation (terror), and the government takes care of the “problem.”

10. “Controlled crisis export” (see “Foreign Policy”)

11. “Sanitation border.” “Fencing” the target country by enemies (neighbors).

12. “Alibi.” You build a “chain” of evidence (witnesses) and move the investigation to a dead end.

13. “Passive sabotage.” A very effective strategy used to cover up a major action like the assassination of a President or the destruction of several office towers. You just “do not see the bad guys” who are going to kill the President or blow up the city. In any case you win — the perpetrators are not sure you are watching them; you can arrest them if the object survives or liquidate them once the object is dead. You don’t need a big conspiracy, you just give the order to ignore certain people until their plan materializes.

14. “Special tour.” You help the target country to “build democratic institutions” (the government and local administrations) by sending official crews to help. Actually, they rule the country and that’s a “hidden occupation.”

15. “Mask.” You mask your actual global plans (reforms) by another big action (war).

16. Illegal espionage operations. Very dangerous , because illegal spy is playing born American and can make career in business, becoming #1 Pentagon supplier or in the government, getting to the Congress or even White House.

1.3 ” Illegal ” Spies.

When I talk about “the best,” I mean the highest intelligence level — illegal spies, intelligence operatives who are secretly deployed abroad and covertly operate there under assumed names and well-documented cover stories, masquerading as native citizens. It’s very important if you get , for example, original birth certificate of American citizen, who died (at young age preferably) or any records and documents on him(birth, wedding, death, any IDs, etc).

The process of training and “installing” such officer is rather complex and includes:

a) Special training. Foreign language, general, political and special (espionage and counter-espionage) knowledge of the target country; personal cover story — new biography, special technical devices, recruitment methods). Up to three years.

b) Illegal probation period abroad. A trip abroad through intermediate countries with numerous changes of passports and cover stories, jobs, personal connections. Then he gets to the target country, stays there for another 1-2 years and goes back to his country for additional training and correction of cover story — actually, it’s his first combat assignment. The most important part of this assignment is to check the reliability of the cover story and documents; the cover story has to be reinforced with new and old true facts, like short-term studies at universities or professional training courses).

c) Intermediate legislation. On his way back the officer could stay in an intermediate country for another 1-2 years, make contacts with business, scientists, government employees, celebrities.

d) Basic legislation. Officer comes to the target country, obtains genuine documents, gets a job which allows him to travel and talk to many people, recruit informants thus creating an illegal station.

The illegal is usually supplied with a variety of cover documents to make him “invisible” for counter-intelligence — some are used only to cross the borders on the way to a target country, others — to live there, other documents — only for travel to “third countries” to meet with officers of legal or illegal stations or to be used in case of urgent recall to home country (in that case the illegal is supposed to transit at least two or three countries). His further activity depends on how professional counter-espionage service is working in the country.

He could fail in his mission also because of:

- poor training and low quality documents.

- neglecting security rules.

- one mistake in pronunciation can give you away.

- treason (traitor-informant or a “mole” inside his own service).

- low personal security level (while working with sources).

If we talk about “legal plants”, KGB (and modern Russian SVR) loves to recruit Harvard, Yale and Columbia students and “push” them to the top of American politics – US Congress, the White House, the Cabinet.

Chapter 2. Special Influence

1. Tortures

Torture is a category of methods of interrogation designed to shock, hurt and humiliate the object and get information or to make him do something (if used for blackmail). Points to remember:

-ongoing torture decreases pain sensitivity.

-people with strong will power take torture as a test.

-resistance to torture is often a form of hysterics after arrest.

-the object could take himself as a martyr if you torture him too much.

-torture could damage object’s psyche and you won’t be able to work with him (that’s why we keep terrorists in Guantanamo Bay without trial – we turn them into idiots).

-people usually trust “after torture information” more than voluntary confessions.

-there are different types of torture and professionals often combine them.

Techniques of psychological torture include:

- fake execution.

- complete isolation (“wall therapy”).

- daylight deprivation.

- forcible narcotics addiction. Here you can use depressants, stimulants, opiates or hallucinogens (psychedelics): depressants (alcohol, barbiturates, anti-anxiety drugs with effects of euphoria, tension reduction, dis-inhibition, muscle relaxation, drowsiness; stimulants (cocaine, amphetamine, methamphetamine (crystal meth), with effects of fast.

- euphoria, exhilaration, high physical and mental energy, reduced appetite, perceptions of power , and sociability; hallucinogens with effects of euphoria, hallucinations, distorted perceptions and sensations.

-making the object observe others being tortured (such as family members).

-abuse of object’s national, religious feelings or political views).

The effects of psychological torture are: anxiety, depression, fear, psychosis, difficulty concentrating, communication disabilities, insomnia, impaired memory, headaches, hallucinations, sexual disturbances, destruction of self-image, inability to socialize.

Techniques of physical torture include:

-food, water, sleep deprivation.

-damage to vital body organs (brain, lungs, kidneys, liver, private parts) plus electric shock. The brain is particularly dependent on a continuous and stable supply of oxygen and glucose.

-rape.

-face deformation.

-water cure (the torturer pours water down the throat of the subject to inflict the terror of drowning. In another variation, the subject is tied or held don in a chair, his face is covered with a cloth or plastic sheet, and water is poured slowly or quickly over his face to encourage him to talk.

The effects of physical torture are: extreme (unbearable) pain, hypertension, fatigue, cardio-pulmonary and other disorders, brain atrophy.

2. Special psychology

1. “Brain washing” (implantation of new ideas). The process is: isolation from outside world (“information vacuum”) — sleep and food limitation (very effective) — “bombing” with slogans – ideological aggression – achieving the result (brain is loaded). The object is now ready to brainwash newcomers.

2. “Behavior modification” (by placing into a group). The process is: initial contact — introduction to a group — mutual interests — mutual activity–mutual ideas — control and prevention of any negative contacts outside the group. No rush, no pressure.

3. Special psychotherapy methods: talk + drugs + blondes + alcohol (used for recruitment).

Attention: An alcoholic is more impulsive, untrustworthy and unreliable; he demonstrates a poverty of ideas and incapacity for attention. He usually has serious personality maladjustments. He’s immature, insecure, oversensitive and anxious. Without alcohol he’s unable to meet and enjoy people socially, and suffers from marked feeling of inferiority.

Besides, alcoholics suffer from vitamin B1 deficiency, which leads to anatomic changes in the central nervous system and heart with symptoms like anorexia, fatigability, and sleep disturbances. Other common symptoms are irritability, poor memory, inability to concentrate, heart pain.

4. “Transfer” (the object is placed in a regular hospital and then he’s transferred to a mental health clinic or jail). In jail you can use such methods an accelerated work schedule (to exhaust the object), turning him into a number to traumatize his psyche, physical punishment or a threat of punishment to keep the object tense and depressed; senseless labor to destroy his personality.

Remember: the lower the intellectual level of the object, the more aggressive he is and more sensitive to incentive or punishment.

You can actually re-organize any object’s behavior by combining rewards and punishments, exposing him to feared situations and teaching him an instinct of a total (political) obedience.

Imprisonment is a very strong (sometimes — ultimate) tool. My friend who spent 10 years in jail described the changes in his behavior like this:

1st year — aggression as self-defense method (to survive).

2nd year — less personal tension, attempts to adapt the mind and body to the new, isolated way of life.

3rd, 4th, 5th — gaining some inside status.

6th, 7th — life in jail looks like natural routine.

10th — euphoria before gaining freedom.

3. Blackmail

Used to force a person to do something (or stop the action) against his will; it’s used also for recruitment. Blackmail methods include:

1. Leaking “dirt” on the object through media.

2. Creating problems in his personal life and career.

3. Straight blackmail (threatening to make public certain compromising facts about him).

4. Placing weapons, drugs, secret documents in object’s house or office, followed by search and arrest.

5. Accusations of rape (robbery) (use hookers for that).

6. Blackmail by pressing family members. Careful, object may commit suicide after intense blackmail, especially if he is an intellectual.

Chapter 3 - Special tools

3.1 Surveillance

Actual espionage is not what you see in the movies and you have absolutely no chance of evasion if a real professional surveillance crew is following you. Why? Because they use multiple methods and mixed methods.

I. Physical surveillance.

3.1.1 Methods

1. “One line” – officers follow the object forming a line behind him and passing him one by one.

2. “Two lines” – officers form two lines on both sides of the street.

3. “Circle” – officers block the area and start searching (used in case they lose the object).

4. “Fork” – one officer (a car) moves in front of the object, another one — behind, other officers (cars) move along parallel streets.

5. “Box” – used when the object enters supermarket, hotel, restaurant. One or two officers follow the object, the others wait for him at the exits.

6. “Demonstration” – officers demonstrate their presence to press the object and lower his activity.

7. “Provocation” – officers attack the object, beat him, steal (secret) documents. Often used to lower his activity if he’s trying to play James Bond.

8. “Outstrip” – officers do not follow the object because they know exactly where he’s going.

9. “Football” – officers pass the object to each other (car — a group — bicyclist — car…).

10. “Movie” – the crew watches the object in stages: first day — to the subway only, second day — from subway to his office, etc. (used abroad). The crew has to have a female member if they are watching a woman (she could use the ladies room for a secret meeting) and members of various ethnicities (white, black, Latino) because the object could go to a specific ethnic area.

3.1.2 If you’re the object and you’ve noticed surveillance:

Don’t rush, move at the same speed.

Relax at the nearest bar (and relax the crew).

Don’t show how professional you are by trying to disappear, otherwise they could intensify surveillance or even neutralize you (smash your car, beat you up).

Postpone the operation you were engaged in.

Use a “draught” if you need to see your agent no matter what. Change lanes (if you are driving), stop the car and then drive left or right.

If you don’t see surveillance, that means either there’s no surveillance or you’ve failed in counter-surveillance. Discreetly watch the agent who’s coming to meet you and try to detect any possible surveillance; or you may have been “outstripped.”

3.1.3 Surveillance crew mistakes:

The same crew follows the object all day long. The object “rules” the crew and calculates it (he moves faster — the crew moves faster).

A crew member is too noticeable (unusual dress, haircut, disabled parts of the body, too fat or too skinny, too ugly or too pretty).

The crew starts to search possible hiding places for espionage evidence right after the object leaves (and he may be watching). The crew leaves traces after a secret search of the object’s house (office).

The crew does not report its mistakes or the fact that they’ve lost the object.

The crew is not professional (using childish tricks like jumping out of a subway train just before the doors close).

3.2 Murders

3.2.1 Regular

Shooting, explosives or poison (cyanides, curare). Use a sniper or a “mouse” car (loaded with explosives and parked on the object’s route) if access to the object is impossible because of high security. Anyway, the murder is obvious and investigation is inevitable.

General scheme.

The best thing to do is to recruit or ”install” somebody with access to the object’s security system and get information on his schedule (plus health and habits), places where he likes to relax. Try to gain access to his phone.

Then prepare the plan and train three groups: surveillance (with optics and radios), action (includes snipers, explosives technicians or staged accidents specialists), and security (these people neutralize bodyguards, witnesses and other people who could interrupt the action; they complete the action if the action group fails; and they can neutralize the action group later, if planned so; they “cover” the safe retreat of action group and “cut” the chase).

For some operations you can modify the ammunition to make it more deadly – hollow cuts in the tip of the bullets will cause the lead to fragment upon impact, making a huge exit hole. You reach same effect using bullets with a drop of mercury in a hollow tip and you can also coat bullets with arsenic or cyanide. Use depleted, non-radioactive uranium bullets (uranium is much heavier than lead – it can be used to make a bullet with a smaller slug and a larger portion of explosive). Teflon bullets are good because with Teflon’s anti-friction characteristics they pierce bullet proof vests.

3.2.2 Complex

Staged accidents (suicides, catastrophes, drowning or fall, robbery or rape followed by murder, technical accident (fire, electricity, gas), drugs, weapons, poison, explosives misuse. Also, staged natural death (stroke, heart attack, chronic illness as a result of special technical devices like irradiation).

Attention: you can conceal injection sites by choosing areas that could not be easily detected, such as fingernails or toenails. For staged accidents you can use acetone (absorption of large quantities via either the respiratory or gastrointestinal tract results in decreased respiration, stupor and death); carbon monoxide — acetylene gas, illuminating gas (coal gas), automobile gas, furnace gas; or a simple Novocaine + coffee combination. In some cases non-bacterial food poisoning is suitable.

6.1 "Moles" detection

A “mole” is a spy inside the government, recruited or “installed” most often within the special services, by an outside government/agency. The 3 most dangerous things a “mole” can do:

1. Calculate President’s plans and decisions judging by information he’s asking for.

2. Manipulate information being sent to President, and thus influence global political decisions.

3. Paralyze to some extent the government (if he’s CIA or FBI Director)

6.1.2 Methods to detect a “mole"

A. Use index cards (special file) — never use computers to save this information!

Prepare a file on each officer and mark there the signs of a “mole” — has or spends too much money, asks too many extra questions; uses professional skills to check for physical and technical surveillance; has discreet contacts with foreigners; discreet copying of top secret documents; attempts to get a job in most secret departments; talks with close friends and family members about the possibility of making money as a “mole”; behavior deviations — extra suspiciousness, excitement, depression, drugs or alcohol addiction. Three signs are enough to start an investigation — the “triangulation” principle.

B. Use provocation. If a prospective “mole” is looking for a contact with the enemy and is ready to betray, and you have exact information, organize such a “meeting” for him. Do not arrest the person right away — play along, as he may give you connections to other people who are ready to betray. There’s one more provocation method: you supply the suspects with “highly classified information” and just watch what they do.

C. Use “filter” or “narrowing the circle.” Include all the officers you suspect in a “circle” and narrow it until one name is left as the most likely suspect.

D. Make a “model” of a “mole,” judging by information you have on him.

E. Recruit an insider. Recruit a “mole” inside your enemy’s intelligence service and he’ll help you to find the one inside yours (it’s called “grabbing the other end of a thread”).

F. Don’t trust anybody.

Espionage ManagementEspionage ManagementEspionage ManagementEspionage ManagementEspionage ManagementEspionage Management

6.1.3 What to Do If You Detect a “Mole”

- assess the damage.

- restrict his access to classified information and start “feeding” him with fake data.

- stop all operations he was involved in and create the illusion they are still in progress.

- bring home officers and agents who work abroad and had contacts with him and those to whose files he had access.

- start 24/7 surveillance if you’ve decided to play the game and look into his contacts.

- arrest the “mole” discreetly (if you want to continue the game).

Effective methods to prevent treason do not exist.

6.1.4 How to Cover Your “Mole”

There are special methods to cover your own “mole” and a “switch” is the most effective — it’s when you “switch” counterintelligence to other, innocent persons who work with the “mole.” You can try information “leaks” through a “double agent” — it looks like you receive top secret information through another traitor or by breaking the electronic security systems.

Or you can try information “leak” through publications in big newspapers — it looks like information is not secret and is known to many people or there’s another “mole.

6.2 Identifying Spies

If a spy is an intelligence officer working abroad under “cover” (diplomat, businessman, reporter) you can identify him by:

- following the careers of all diplomats who work at your enemy’s embassies all over the world.

- recruiting a “mole” inside the intelligence service (or inside the station).

- setting up your agent for recruitment by the enemy’s station.

- watching foreigners who try to make discreet contacts with native citizens with access to secrets.

- making a model of a spy (professional behavior, attempts to detect surveillance, attempts to recruit sources or just get any classified information during normal meetings, “throwing away” money trying to get access to government employees, military and scientific circles).

- using secret surveillance and listening devices inside the station and practicing secret searches.

If a spy is an intelligence officer working in your country under “cover” of a native citizen (or he is recruited by a native citizen) you identify him by making a model (contacts with identified spies — that’s often the only sign which points out a spy, and that’s why surveillance is very important in getting information from a “mole”).

7.1 Gestapo Practice:

1. Keeping under control all activities which might endanger in any sense the security of Germany.

2. "Public places total control" : sources were recruited at every big restaurant, bar, hotel or store. They delivered information on any client whose behavior was somewhat different from the general one: he was too excited or too depressed, too greedy or too generous, too open or too closed, too well dressed, etc. And very often such a client deserved special attention.

3. Aggressive total recruitment - by the end of World War II there wasn't a single guerrilla detachment, resistance or espionage group on occupied Soviet and European territories that had not been in part or completely eliminated by the GESTAPO or SD — 100 per cent professional counter-terrorist and counter-espionage job based on secret sources infiltration.

4. The "Night and Fog" operation. By 1941 the RSHA analysts reported that the "taking hostages" practice was not effective any more as resistance on the occupied territories was even increasing after that went into effect. It was decided that resistance fighters had to be secretly arrested and secretly transported to Germany where, after investigation, they just vanished without a trace.

5. "Third degree" interrogation (See "Special influence).
