Recent efforts by The Disrupters Movement to gain political influence arebeginning to seriously and adversely affect public perceptions andunderstanding of ongoing programs aimed at smoothing the transfer ofsovereignty and power from national governments to super-national statistorganizations. Unless such efforts are countered and discredited, thetask of creating a unified global government under UN control will be farmore difficult. The most dangerous element of The Disrupters Movement arethose that are part of the Christian Fundamentalist majority. Thefollowing memorandum offers a set of policy prescriptions designed tocounter-act their efforts.

ANALYSIS OF PROBLEM

Although there has always been opposition from groups and individuals witha conservative, isolationist attitude, the recent growth of suchopposition, and the ability and organizational success of these groups hasraised serious concern in recent years. Unless steps are taken to meetthe challenge posed by The Disrupters Movement, it is possible that thesegroups could make serious inroads into the public complacence which hasbeen so carefully nurtured over the past fifty years.

The threat is two-fold. First, there is the traditional conservativepolitical threat, one which can be traced back to pre-WWII isolationismand political conservatism. These groups are not of particular concern astheir organizing ability and numbers do not suggest the capability foramassing significant political power.

It is the second category, the "Christian fundamentalists," that pose thegreatest threat. These people are representative of a massive populationof Americans and if allowed to propagandize and organize that base couldpresent serious obstacles to further progress.

A. An active effort aimed at promoting the benefits of global organizations and institutions. Media stories, books, conferences, and other means should be utilized to get the story out in appropriate fashion.

B. Appearances by political figures, well-known celebrities and other influential figures at events connected to international and super-national organizations and institutions. Of particular use are events which involve "feel-good" operations such as UNICEF, Feed the Children, Americares, etc.

C. Promotion of peaceful uses of atomic energy, disarmament as a necessary condition to peace and security, and tolerance and acceptance of non-Christian faiths should be promoted consistently but with enough subtlety so as not to turn off the targeted populations.

1. Under no circumstances, however, should such efforts be allowed to raise fears regarding these goals, nor should they provide substantive evidence of the true objectives of USG policy.

2. An important means of developing support for disarmament and the reliance on the United Nations to impose global order is through raising fears of nuclear weapons. By playing up the danger of nuclear war, it should be possible to generate considerable public support for further movement toward the disarmament of national states. This diverts attention from the real nature of the disarmament effort by portraying it as necessary to world peace, rather than as a step on the road to world government.

D. A massive attack on The Disrupters Movement, and especially Christian religious groups. This assault would challenge them as intolerant, hateful, exclusionist, and potentially dangerous. Such a program would include the following:

1. Efforts should be made to falsely portray their objectives as the creation of a religious theocracy and the imposition of strict religious interpretation of the Bible as the basis for political participation in "the New Christian America." This can best be accomplished by focusing on the most outrageous and extremist statements and members, while downplaying the more moderate membership.

2. "Christian" groups should whenever possible be portrayed as fringe elements of the country's religious population, not especially numerous and certainly not representative of "most" Christians.

3. At every opportunity these "Christian" groups should be presented as vicious, intolerant, and especially as anti- semitic. The selective use of quotes, and if necessary, the use of invented statements, can be a most effective means of accomplishing this task.

4. Arrest either on criminal charges or on mental inquest warrants certain members of The Disrupters Movement who by their fanatical religious life-styles and/or their EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS would be psychologically and physically prepared to survive outside of government control.

5. Harassment on criminal charges or mental inquest warrants of those who listen to and/or sympathize with The Disrupters Movement.

A. Infiltration of The Disrupters Movement by sympathetic agents is an extremely useful tool in combatting their efforts.

1. By carrying out extreme acts, and especially acts of violence, such individuals can bring discredit and public condemnation against The Disrupters Movement.

2. By raising confusion, and carefully encouraging splits and controversy within The Disrupters Movement, such agents will be able to reduce the effectiveness and coherency of those groups.

B. Individuals who have been groomed to operate outside the usual channels of political activity should be activated and placed in positions in which they appear to be in opposition to USG policy.

1. These persons would speak out publically in opposition to our policies, but would in fact be sympathetic to our long- term objectives. By carefully and selectively providing false or misleading information, and information of a seemingly scandalous or dramatic nature, they would seem to be supporting the agenda of The Disrupters Movement. But when the information they promulgated was shown to be patently false, it would further damage the credibility of the opposition.

2. The use of certain talk radio personalities along the lines suggested in paragraph 1 has already proven quite effective and further ventures along these lines could be beneficial.

3. In extreme situations, it may become useful or even necessary for these undercover assets to carry out certain operations against members of The Disrupters Movement who are interfering with CABLESPLICE. In some cases, terminations with extreme prejudice may be called for.

C. Subversion and Elimination of the Second Amendment

1. One of the most critical efforts must be the removal of firearms from individual control. The on-going long-term program to accomplish this is beginning to bear fruit and further efforts along current lines are advised.

a. The use of "agent provocateurs," individuals who are seemingly insane (but who are never taken alive) who create highly publicized mass killings with automatic weapons has been particularly useful in molding public opinion. Similarly, the regular use of random killings in large urban areas as a way of creating a climate of fear and violence has resulted in significant gains for the gun-control point of view. Such programs are extremely useful and shold be continued and possibly expanded.

b. On-going efforts to gain small footholds in gun- control are worthwhile as they open the door to further controls later on. The importance of eliminating the Second Amendment right to bear firearms cannot be stressed too much.

A. Careful and selective placement of spurious and potentially damaging news stories in the popular media is an excellent means of raising doubts and fears in the minds of the population. Our opponents have made good use of this technique, we should do likewise.

B. One of the most effective disinformation programs has been the selected use of "expose" books and stories, all reputedly written by former government and super-government officials, but in fact developed within the NSA and CIA.

1. Connections to actual government operations, and the bona fides of such expose authors are deliberately vague in order to make tracing and verifying their stories difficult.

2. Although the books and information "exposed" would seemingly be extremely critical of our long-term programs and objectives, the contradictions contained within, the difficulty of verifying either authors or details, and the wild-eyed style verging on the irrational would all work to discredit and raise doubts.

3. The presentation of fringe and extremist religious doctrine and beliefs, or the presentation of Christian religious beliefs in particularly dogmatic and intolerant fashion, would help to turn popular opinion against The Disrupter Movement.

A. Print Media/Publications

1. Appropriate use of popular media intended to discredit and attack opponents is a fundamental tool of countering The Disrupters Movement

2. While control of the major media outlets is crucial to such efforts, it is through "fringe" media publications that the most damage can be done to The Disrupters Movement. Continued use of assets within the counter-media can be extremely beneficial.

B. Electronic/Computer Systems: Electronic computer systems, bulletin boards, and information superhighway in general is an area of considerable importance to efforts to combat the activities of The Disrupters Movement. The ability of opponents to utilize computer bulletin boards to pass information and educate people must be met with an active program of disinformation and attack.

1. One means of countering the effectiveness of such opposition efforts is the simple expedient of overloading their bulletin boards. A single operator with one computer can set a program in motion that will send out thousands of messages. The sheer volume of such messages is more important than the content. Most people will give up rather than read through hundreds and thousands of messages.

2. A second means of countering the opposition's use of computer technology is through the careful placing of disinformation agents. Such agents can take two forms:

a. Agents may be placed who will simply argue against the opposition, using delaying and confusing tactics such as constantly demanding references and "proof" of allegations, referring to obscure and difficult to find documents as evidence that the opposition is wrong, and generally forcing the opposition to waste tremendous amounts of time simply defending itself from spurious and irrelevant attacks.

b. Other agents have been placed with a more subtle purpose in mind. Such agents would take on the persona and attitude of members of The Disrupters Movement, but would present the opposition's case in ways that will ultimately discredit them. The necessary effort to correct the messages posted by these agents, and the resulting appearance of disarray within the their camp should present considerable opportunities for further assaults on The Disrupters Movement.

3. In cases of computer networks where it is highly imperative that the efforts of The Disrupters be neutralized, coordinated assaults can be arranged using aliases and multiple membership IDs to present a wide array of negative and meddlesome messages.

C. Diversionary efforts

1. Bread and Circuses

a. celebrities The use of celebrities is a proven means of diverting attention from serious political issues. Moreover, the use of selected celebrity figures as political spokesperson can be a very effective means of getting our message across.

b. sports Sports are useful as a means of diverting attention from serious political issues and dulling the minds of the populace. By focusing all their energies on sporting events, we can prevent people from undertaking the intense and serious study necessary to take effective political action.

c. Gambling The provision of numerous outlets for public gambling serves multiple purposes. It serves to keep the popular attention engaged on sporting events, as well as what has become known as "lottery fever." Perhaps more important, widespread gambling not only keeps the general public poor, it provides needed income for our own uses---especially when allowed in the form of state lotteries which purport to provide money for education, senior citizens, or other popular purposes. In fact, through the careful use of accounting manipulation, much of the funds raised are being diverted to support many of the other programs and efforts described in this memo.

d. talk shows: Talk shows serve a dual purpose.

(1) by diverting attention from serious issues, such programs dull the public intellect and prevent people from focusing on real issues and problems.

(2) by constantly presenting groups such as homosexuals, feminists, etc., in a favorable light, and presenting real "white supremacists," "religious zealots," and other opponents unfavorably, these programs can serve to reaffirm in the public mind which people are "good" and which are "bad."

It is our belief that the above strategies. if implemented effectively,can be effective in countering and ultimately rendering ineffective the efforts of The Disrupters Movement.
