These only apply to countries where the judicial system doesn't bend to whoever's in power.
- esseph 2y agoThis comment doesn't make sense if you're aware of the content of the guides under discussion. Subversion is the goal of them. To be successful requires time and not getting found out. It requires plausible deniability.
- DrillShopper 2y agoCool, how does the NSF director subvert with plausible deniability?
- angry_octet 2y agoThe other Trump malingerers are giving adept examples of how to ape compliance while going completely against the law. Complying with the law in contravention of DOGE wishes should be simple in comparison.
- DrillShopper 2y agoOkay, if they have, then please explain to me what they did differently.
- esseph 2y agoMaybe the NSF director should confer with their GS peers in other services: https://www.cia.gov/stories/story/the-art-of-simple-sabotage/ https://www.cia.gov/stories/story/the-art-of-simple-sabotage...
- DrillShopper 2y agoThat exact book states that sabotage should only be done with plausible deniability, so I ask again...
- esseph 2y agoSo you'll ask... What? I'm not sure what you're asking at this point. It's a book about sabotage over a long period of time, written in particular to partisans of various countries. Plausible deniability is the CIA operating method. "How to do shit to subvert large orgs covertly via death by a thousand cuts" is another title for the manuscript, in some universe, somewhere.
