Why rob a bank? Because that's where the cash is. Why attack the United States of America? Because that's where the power is.

  There are many reasons to wage war upon the USA, eh?  America is the greatest nation in the world, with the strongest military, the biggest corporations, the best universities, the most productive agribusiness, the most clever entrepreneurs, the fullest prisons, the loudest cinemas, the sexiest designers, the deadliest videogames. As for its primary education and healthcare systems - well, you can't win'em all... But you can always trust the U.S. government. Always. Just ask anyone in Panama, Iran, Cuba, Greece, Chile, etc.

  Because of the overwhelming military, commercial, cultural and political power wielded by the U.S., it's prudent to follow certain rules in order to successfully attack that nation. Some of these principles and guidelines are outlined below. Have fun. And see:   How to Defeat the United States.

How To Survive Attacking the U.S.

1. Don't get caught.
2. Blame someone else.
3. Let someone else do it.
4. Let America attack itself.

  The basic rule of warfare is: if they can see you, they can kill you. Thus, a successful attack on the U.S. is necessarily covert, its source a secret or misdirected, its goal unclear. If the U.S. can figure out who launched an attack and why, they can and will apply punishing force in retaliation. So, make sure you are never identified as the aggressor.

How To Achieve The Goal Of Survival

1. BE TOTALLY STEALTHY. This can be difficult - if you attack the U.S. with your own assets there is always the possibility that one or more may betray you, or may be agents of enemy security forces. The human element is always the weakest link in the chain of your actions. Who do you trust? These hazards can be avoided if you:
   • Only recruit from among your closest kinfolk, and/or
   • Hold your operatives' kinfolk as hostages, and/or
   • Completely program the thoughts of your agents, and/or
   • Kill your forces after they complete the operation.

2. SHIFT THE BLAME. You may be able to disguise your operatives so that, even under close scrutiny, they appear to represent some other entity. You may also be able to produce such disinformation that convincingly implicates other entities. In any case, you must be able to shift all attention away from yourself. Unless you want to be punished, of course.
   
   
3. ENGAGE OTHERS. This is traditionally the most effective means of misdirection. You have several methods for letting others do your difficult, dangerous, dirty work for you:
   • Hire others: mercenaries are always available.
   • Bribe others: a variant of the above - you may be able to reward officers of other entities for marshaling their own resources against the U.S.
   • Intimidate others: another variant - you may be able to threaten others to force them to launch their own attacks against the U.S.
   • Provoke others: this is the most subtle variant. Convince other entities that their interests will be served by taking action against the U.S., either because the U.S. threatens them and they must act preemptively, or because they have much to gain in an attack.

4. PROMOTE SELF-DESTRUCTION. Rather than risking any retaliation, you can easily provoke America to turn on itself and damage its own interests. Proper propaganda can polarize the always-fractious U.S. social patchwork -- as the mad dogs chew on each other, you can sit back and gloat.

  Which of these strategies you employ should be based on your own evaluation of your strengths, your weaknesses, the risks you are willing to take, the possible measures of success and failure, as well as your basic sanity and spiritual status. If you really don't give a fat fock, or if you'd like to have your constituency thinned-out a bit, then by all means, attack publicly. Using one's domestic opposition to spearhead a suicidal attack has a long tradition in human history.

Some Tactics Based On These Strategies

The application of the above principles may take myriads of forms. After you have chosen appropriate targets [see below], you can wage your war in a variety of realms. Some of the possibilities are as follows:

Physical Warfare

1. If you'd like to wage a missile attack on the U.S. but are fearful that their response will turn your domestic real estate into a glassy radioactive puddle, you may choose to:
   1. Launch your missiles from territory or assets identified with another entity (which will serve the secondary purpose of disposing of that entity), or
   2. Provoke other entities to launch their own missile attack (with the same result as the previous option), or
   3. Forego missiles, transporting your nuclear / biological / chemical / conventional munitions into the U.S. by commercial carriers for application as desired, or
   4. Bribe or provoke others to transport and utilize such munitions on such targets as may benefit both you and that other entity.

      Any future "missile-defense shield" should merely motivate you to develop means of bypassing such a Maginot Line in the sky. U.S. borders are infinitely porous, and surface attacks are much less expensive than rockets.

     Munitions may also be injected into the currents of air or water, to waft against the shores of America in aesthetically-pleasing patterns. War is an art as well as a science, performance as well as planning, appreciation as well as annihilation. Be creative.

   Economic Warfare

2. If you'd like to wage economic warfare against the U.S. but are fearful that their response will impoverish you such you'll be eating rats and maggots and tree bark, you may:
   1. Manipulate U.S. markets be spreading rumors via the InterNet and media (much easier and safer than traditional mouth-to-mouth rumor-mongering).
   2. Sabotage the production and delivery of U.S. products and services.
   3. Counterfeit U.S. currency, I.D.s, products and cultural artifacts.
   4. Provoke others to wage their own economic warfare against the U.S.
   5. Promote unhealthy life-styles, food / drug / alcohol consumption, risky sexual acts, forcing the U.S. to divert valuable resources into ultimately-wasted healthcare efforts.
   6. Purchase U.S. economic entities to use against the U.S. from within.
   7. Purchase or steal the legal rights to U.S. intellectual properties.

     These tactics can be combined to great purpose. For instance, you may promote a rumor / agit-prop campaign on the "dangers" of genetically-modified foods, then purchase (at bargain prices) the patents to such foods, so that when Global Warming destroys U.S. agriculture, the U.S. will be forced to turn to you for foodstuffs - at any price you wish to name.

   Spiritual Warfare

3. There are few dangers to you in attacking the spirit of America. Since the U.S. is a profoundly materialistic culture, the nation really has no adequate defenses, no responsive mechanisms for attacks of this nature. Some approaches available to you include:
   1. Incite polarization, discord, hatred along the lines of gender affiliation and sexual orientation, racial and cultural identification, socioeconomic class, political orientation, religious affiliation, etc.
      
      
   2. Introduce numerous theories of correct religious / political / economic / aesthetic / (inter)personal behavior for the American people to follow, all contradictory, to further fragment and dis-harmonize them -- divide and conquer. Especially promote theories that place the blame for negative behavior on groups rather than individuals. Invoke conspiracies, provoke paranoia.
      
      
   3. Via marketing campaigns, promote adherence to products and brand-names rather than to the strengthening of interpersonal relationships. Convince Americans to love images and toys, not each other. Stimulate greed for the unattainable.
      
      
   4. Promote self-hatred as well as other-hatred. Constantly bombard Americans with images of impossible perfection, such that they will loathe themselves for being unable to attain that perfection themselves. They'll spend their time and resources punishing themselves, rather than responding rationally to your further psychological / spiritual attacks.

     Be aware that since the U.S. is profoundly, terminally materialistic, spiritual attacks may have contradictory or unnoticeable long-term effects. It may be impossible to noticeably attack the spirit of a people who have no spirit. This is the great paradox of America - there's no there there, however much their ideologues (who may themselves be employed by other adversaries) may proclaim otherwise. Watch your ass.

How To Select Appropriate Targets

1. ASSESS YOUR RISKS. What do you have to gain and lose?
2. ASSESS YOUR RESOURCES. What can you throw into an attack?
3. ASSESS YOUR SPIRIT. What do the voices in your head recommend?
   
   
4. ASSESS THE POTENTIAL TARGET'S STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES. What are you up against? Where can you penetrate? What resistance can you expect? How can you subvert the target?
   
   
5. ASSESS THE TIMING. Can you arrange for diversions to distract the defenders / victims? Can you use natural rhythms to your advantage? Can you invoke outside circumstances?
   
   
6. ASSESS THE COMPLEXITY. How many layers of misdirection / disinformation / circumlocution can you apply and still maintain control of the situation? What circumstances beyond your control can thwart your efforts? How much of what CAN go wrong WILL go wrong?
   
   

   Application of target-selection and attack-strategy principles will be left as an exercise for the student. This is a pass-fail course; survivors may move on to the next grade. Every test is a final exam.

  The game of waging war on the U.S.A. can be extremely rewarding and satisfying to any external or domestic player. Similar warfare can be waged on other nations, but to less effect. Of course, before going for the Big Kahuna, you may wish to practice your play on other sociopolitical entities. By waging war on states, corporations, churches, artists, sports teams, associations, etc. you'll gain valuable experience that can be applied when you think you're ready for the major leagues. Rotsa ruck.
