Although tte united States representative on the 184 mmber Disarmament Commission initially opposd it, on May 9, 1994, ti clinton administration dircted the tLs. rnember to allow consensus adoption of tke proposal. The U.N, Disarmament commission's draft proposal has already been sdreduled for debate in the u.N. General Couhcil's spring 1995 meeting. Its adoption is a forgon condusion. The working paper declares that governmenb individualt 'find tternselves impotent'' to deal with giobal arms traftckin& and proposes the 'harmonization" of gun-control standar& world-wide. For one thint, it says, "fhe arms permitkd for civilian use...should be subject to controls at all points in the ciain, from production and/or acquisiUon up tp the tim , . they are 3old to an individual.

'The instabililz of laws is really an immense evil." -Thomas Jefferson

Th persistent or&/ of biatantly unconsttuUonal anti-gun legislaUon rammed through Congress underthe tuise of"public safery" beginning with the National Firearms control Act of 1934 has, bli our analysis of historical precedenq only one aim; the disarmament ofthe American middle class. The reason for this is evident in the incteasing irrationality of our lalvs. When lara,s are undeffned by virtue of being based on undefinable abstractions they are rendered unjr.rdicable and thus subject to capricious enforcement The purpose of laws based on whim rather than rcason is to qeale fear and urcertainty and lead everyone to beliwe that they are guilty of 'something,' The creation, and automatic assumption, of guilt in the minds of the citizers is the modus operandi of all evolving tyrannies. Those who refuse the premise of de facto guilt and whose actions are based on reason and moralit rather than ltal whirnsy are considerd reactionaries, When.they armed they are considered dangerou! subversiveStripped of their soghist window.dressings of public safety, crime, and most recehtly, "lhild safety," the philosophical fi'amework of anti-gun legislation ar starkly obvious: underrninihg

If Congrass is fieed fiom the restrictiohs ofthe Tenth Amendment as the Suprem Court held, they are also freed from the limitations ofth Eill of Rights. It is signiffcant that during the debates on ratiffcation of the Constitution (1787-1788) the anti-federalists vehemently opposed Article M and drafted an amendment prohibiting Congress from enforcing provisions oftreaties which contradicted the Constituti on:

Cunningham's Combat Arms Suwey (the crmplete text of which was printed in The REsISTER, Vol.I, No.2) issued to Marines at Twhtnine Palms, CA" on May 10, 1994 "...was meant to test their opinion of possible non-lraditional missions." School spokesmanJohn Sanders said; "I personalt feel (question 45) was a bit abrupt Howveq it is trying to 8et at a toltgh issue: unit cohesiveness, and whether a member understands a lawful or unla*firl order.' What Mr. Sanders fails to mention is that the questionhaite (or a trial balloon variant) had been in qrorlatron sinc September 1993 and $'as initially tarSekd toward Navy special operations unib (sEAL teams, including SEAL Team six, the Naly's SFOD-D). He also fails to tnention that rumors concerninS the questionnaire had beeh rarnpant in the Special operations communit)r' since October, 1993, and amongthe various civilian firearms publications since February, 1994. The official position ofthe Naval Postgraduate School is thattie questionnaire was meant to tast whether tie Marines understood the principle that U.5. law prohibib tfie federal military from beconrihg involved in domestic law enforcement Mr. Sande6 said that reporb about the questionnaire reflecting an administration plan to disarm Americans are,.

The Front for the A&ancement and Progress of Haiti (FRAPH) has ben universalt reviled by the American media and the communist propaganda machin as a

ex'military. FRAPH meftbershiP was a representative cross section ofthe Haitian middle class, consisting mainly of ProPerb, ,firmers, tradesmen, businessmen,

paramilitary erkeinist organizaton. Because ne$rs reports lrdint up to the occupatioh foo.rsed almost entirely on its alleged campaign of terror waged aSainst "the people,' it is illustrativ to define what FRAPH tr"s and who made up ib membership. Although FRAPH was officially established as a political party in 1993, it actualt dated back to the mid 198o's. It was originally founded as an anti-communist resistance moveftent coincident with the rise ofthe communist "Litde ghurr+r" liberation theolos/ movement run by Arishde. The FRAPH leadership was largely

owners craftsmen, and both blue and white collar workers. The equivalent of FRAPH, in an American context, would be the VFw and the American Legion forming a Political Party. The hated Attaches wre in fuct nothint more than a community watch organizatioh that auSmentd FAd'H Casernes and Advanced Posts. In other words, FRAPH representd the ihterestJ of those Haitians who were rasonably comPetent and intelligent and who were, by Haitian standards, successful. Their unforgivable crime was defending thir success and livelihoods against the envious. Simpt put, the FAd'H, FRAPH and Attaches reprsnted the comPetent, abl and successful of Haitran society and they did hesitate to deferd their interesti against the moochers, looters and parasites coalesced as the Lavalas movement Thn the united states Army undr the command ofth united Nations arrived and threw them to thejackals. In early October special Forces ODAS fanned out to stablish uhited States presence in the outlying towns. They were gre*ed.by hysterical mobs jogging throuSh the street singing in unison in tpical Aiiican fashion. The words to the most popular sotrg were self explanatory to any with the ears to listen; "When Titid (Aristide) Sers back,you'rc goingto pay, w'll have our revenge." The reason for the hysteria was quite simple. The tavalas believed that the Americahs had arrived to allow them to do whatever they wanted; loot businesses, expropriate and redisb'ibute proper9, and murder the FAd'H, FRAPH and Attachs. It was a belief grounded in their observation of American actrons. The commuhist and unitd Nations propaganda about Haiti defind the operational parameters for special Forces unib occupying small towns and cities in the hinterland. The ffrst order of business was to disarm tlre FAd'H. Since this action normally occurred in direct sight ofa shrieking mob of "the people" this would incite them into a murderous frenry and more offzn then not the disarmd Haitian

soldiers had to be physicalt protectd from ''people's justic." In consequence, many Haitian soldiers deserted at the first cohvenaent opportunit)/ in justifiable fear oftheir lives, and those who remained at their casemes played a quiet 8am of passive resistance and feigned incompetence. fhe second order of business ra,as to Sain de fac'to control over the political ard judicial system. This $s generally accomplished by holding a "town meeting'' where officials of the disposed govemment tare seated before "th pople." Although ostensibly chaired by the detachment commander, this "town rheeting-' was actually run by Lavalas gang.ters who put f;rth an agenda fed to them by priests and catholic lay workers ofthe "Litde Church" movement. Throuth threab and intimidation backed up by the presence oftl.S. soldiers, the eristing political and judicial structure was effectively demolished. Without erception, the theme ofthese meetings revolved around the "people's demands" that the FAd'H, FRAPH and the Attaches be disarmed. The third order of business was the disarming ofth Haiuan rhiddle class. (Here, conte,A is erkemely irnportant Under Haitian law, prior to the occupation, it was legal to virtually own any weapon one desired short of crew served served weapons so long as one kept it in on's home for prsonal protaction. This means, possession ofa select ffre Galil, or an tlzi, v,|as legal so long as one had the necessary permit issued by the FAd'H. In other rords, ifyou could afford iq you could own it Attaches and police auxiliaries were frequently issued (that means thy sitned for) M-l rifles and C5 genades in connection with thir official duties. These wapons were kept in their homes.) Weapons cohfiscation proceeded on the basis of lisb df 'enernies ofthe people" (known or suspected FRAPH members, Attaches, businessmen and propedy owne6) supplied to the detachmert by Lavalas "delegates," priests, State Department tlSAID wortrs gnd, in more r_ than ohE instance, American journalists. Additional lists were supplied by Christian . PedczmakrngTeams,.ah organizatioh ivitft close tie3 to the Communist Party Uirited States of America (C?l.lsA) and the Socialist Werkers Pafty (swP), and whom Special Forces detachments

were ordered W Joi^t special Operations Task Force (which took its orders from the Llnited Nations) to rehdr evry assistance and support Warrantless searches of residnces for wapons "caches" were generally based on rumor

and anonymous 'tips." With rare erceptions, these searches tumed up nothing. Subsquent to these searches, the targeted residences would be looted by "the people.' The weapons buy-back program came to be referred to as the "Snitch-off-a-Relative Program. Ten-ate hoodlums would either rob the houses oftheir relatives and sell the rveapons to th Americans, or lead detachment members to relative's houses, break into the house in their presence, and sell the weapons on the spot. Current United Nations plans call for a continued presence ofSpecial Forces ih Haiti for at least two years. 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) will maintain a @ntinuous presehce in Haiti ofone augmented Forward Operatiohs Base (FOB(+)). Both Ist SFGA and 5th SFGA will have an Adyahced Operations Base (AO8(+)) OPCON to 3rd sFG's FO8(+), altemating six month rotations. In addition, both the 19th SFGA and 2oth SFGA (National Guaro will be federalized, in early )anuary, 1995; each providinS an AOB(+) OPCON to 3rd sFG's FOB(+) in Haiti. 8y tie tim th United Nations declares Haiti "a stable and secure environmentfor demoo.ag/,' a majority of United Stats Anrly Special Foroes soldiers will have had extensive trainint and experience in internal securit operations and maintainint "domestic order."

The ffrst thing we did was identif the most active anti-communists in the Attaches and FRAPH and told them to take long vacations and 8o visit relatives on the other side ofthe island. Second, we informed them about the and timetables for weapons confiscatron plans and told them how to disappear their functional firarrns while keping broken and otherwise useless firearms available to sell during the weapons buy- back program. Third, we identified th Lavalas leadership, their ilien& and associates, and collected fiom the FAd'H any informatioh they had on them including criminal records.

However I would nevr hav refused to serve ifcalled upon by my country. Returhing to the synoPsis ofYour philosophy, which recently appeared in an issue of G.

Unless I misunde6tand your statement how is it you can favor strict consututionalism while opposing democracy? Are you referring to "Pure democtagr," the democtatic process or the right ofthe people, provided for the Consdtution, to fi:eet elect their representatives? Please explain whatyou mean when you say you oppose internahonalism. Pardon my
iSnorance ifyour ihtended meaning should be otrvious to me. How is it that you oppose altruism, something which iloft a PhilosoPhical standpoint cannot tist? Ifthere is any motive for carrying out any good or charitable action, one cannot claim to t'e altruistic; people do good or "right" things because it makes them feel or look good. Even the sacrifice of Christ could not be considered altruistic. That does not netate to value of His profoundly benefcent act of self-sacriff ce. what are "pull politics?" You cite your posiuon as being in favor of isolaiionism- tlnder what circumstances wolrld it be in the ihterest ofthe tlnited States or the Special Forces Underground to take any kind of military action, particularly as regards the issue of defendinS against "...all enemies, foreiSn and domestic?" And please defineyourview ofwhich person(s), Group(s) or government(s) would be considered by you to be our enemis. Why do you stand in opposition to statism? under what circ1]mstances would the Special Forces Llnderground attempt an

Bi-partisan politics are necessary as long as they befft the whole of the people, not special interests.

Anti-gun legislation bnefib ont the criminal, while hindering latvs abidinS citizens desiring sport, recreation or defunse ofselfand famiD.

law enforcement Pmctices or secunty organizations are often at a sinSular disadvantage in their efforts to understand systematized techniques and Prachces of clandestine behavior. The varieties ofthis behavioq knowrt collectively as "tradeciaft," are a traditional provinc of secl"et intelliSence ahd special operations; fields reluctant to shed liSht on operational methods and Procedlrrs. There is a dearth of reliable material in the literature of underground and resistance intelligence and unless the operative has at| aPProPriate backSround, attempts to obtain useful extracts fi.om the broader oPen literature will Prove difhcult indeed. The purpose ofthis article is to provide the reader with an introduction to elements of tradcraft important to evade ehforcement oprations or security investigations by underground and resistance operators. We have enclosed disiplines, set a pattern for practitioners and this pattern is liable to prediction or analysis. W disagree with this theory tvhen it is applied to clandestine behavior. The logic oftradecaft is the logic of fear. Fear is an ihdividual matter. The -Oxford-EnStish-Dictionary- de6nes tradecraft with eloquent simplicity as, "skill or art in connectioh with a tr-ade or callin6" The trade or calling with which r. are immediately concemed is ttat of the underground operative. Definition, thrfore becomes a practjcal matter of dscibing componehts erpressed in the training literahrre of intelligence agencies and federal paramilitary orSanizations. Allowing for purely stylistic variation, or variation bom of contextual circumstance, the strrdy of tradecraft is regarded as inclusile ofsix broad elemenb:
AGENT HANDLING. What t rcfr to as agent handling includes target group analysis;

photoSraphy; audio sr.rrveilence; physical iuwerience; suffeptitious methods of entry; flaps and seals work; drawing and sketching, and elicitation. 4 COMMUNICATION. Communication studies include the use of drops and letter boxes; clandestine meetings; secret writinS; concealmnt devices; radios; codes and ciphers, and numerous other forms. 5.INDIVIDUAL SKILLS. Individual skills include observation and memory; evasion and escape; close combaq interviewinS; elicitation, and report wriun& among others. 6. SPECIALTY SKILIS. Spcialty skills include methods of inffltration (ingress and egress), erpertise with certain weaPons and explosives, and technical specialties relating to any of the categories noted above. Our delimitation ofeach cateSory is idiosyncratic we do, however, Prsent an accurate portrait ofthe interdisciPlihes of tradecraft as tradecraft is best regarded b;r underground operatives. A major task ofthe opposition intellignce specialist is developinS information conceming underground activity conducted in se(reg/. To +he e*zrrt the activit in question is indeed secr.et, and presupposing secrecy's rol is to activet deny the opportuhity for ihformation collection, then the underSround operatrve must be conversant witft the pure practices of counterintelligence.

concealment To study se(r.eq|t, one therefore begins witfi the study of concealment The study ofconcealment begins witft catgorical notice of how concealnreht is to be achieyed. concealment is a three-fold process of manipulation involving 1) tfie object of cohcalmnt, 2) the obsewation process, inclusive ofthe observer, and 3) the environmnt The manipulation process ibelf involves a philosophical ground consisting of 1) an assumption of knowledge, 2) a knoum category of percpplion, and 3) a time frarne into which are injected variables ofdisguise, deception, and secrecy. Each variable srves an element ofthe process in consort with each other variable. Disguise manipulates the object, deception manipulates the observation process, anil seqecy manipulates the erwironrnent Proceeding forth fi.om the above r,ve reach the modalities of concealrhent Thse are the teciniques employed to fft each variable to the corpus of knowledge and ategory of percr;piion. With referehces to disguise, for example, we ffnd cosmetic chanSes in appearance and substantiv changes in form. With refercnc. de(r.Viion we find the technique ofimbedding which redirecb attention, and dispersal, which erpands attention. By way of illustration, rre are reminded ofan old story conoerning a famous smugSler who, for sake of narration, we shall call Piefte. One day Piete appears at the frontier pushihg a red birycile on which he balances a basket fflled l!^,ith straw. The inspectoE descend in force and fo| their trouble produc a single brick fi.om the bottom dfthe basket Brerkint the briclqthey are disappointed to ffnd it quite gnuine.

must be smutding something but they do now know what Curiosit changes to anguish when informanb report Pierre has d-ossed the border for good and is living comfortabt on the other side. In desperation, th Chief Inspector decides to pay the smuggler a call. "I have, as you know, no power here," he "and says, as it seems you now reside here permanentt we shall not rneet agaih.

"Bicycls! We together? But how?" cries

tt

the Chief. "I painted the|n red," replies Pirre. 'You hid them among the brick.' In the example given, the object or aim of conceal6ent is to prevent detectioh of criminal activity, id est, smuggling. Pierre's fam as a smuggler and the reaction of the inspectors is the assumed corpus of knowledge. Msual search of objecb by inspectors is tfte category of perception. The elernent ofdisguise is red pain! the elemnt of dece8on a briclq and the tirne fi.ame is expanded to teate lhe ffiec" of dispersal. Note how allthese elemenb work together in secrecy; so dosely that an error irl one can contrminate all. To expand the shades of meaning for secregr' and concealment tfte technical terms "clandestine' and 'coert' volved. Clandestine refers to activity hidden but not disSuised; covrt refers to activity disguised but not hidden. This disUnctioh is important for

to grasp. Clandestine activit is secret

Control masures are r8ulatory in character. Indeed, all federal, state and local govmment regulatory agencies are "feeder services" of the oppositon's counterintelligence ageng/. Control measures involve the exercise of influence in five areas:

Human f"ctors oPerations involve the production of estitnative intellitence intended to portray the psychological profile of a given counterintelligence targeL Examples of techniques employed are indirect personality assessment analysis ofwritten materials by means of word count and fi'equency of use; indirect monitoring of certain biological fu nctions; observance of historical behavioral trehds, and (in dsperation) mystical methods such as handwriting analysis and astrological charting.

tround oftermittolo&r' and having ofered delimitation to th broad expanse ofsubterfuge and detection, we now propose tojustit the study of tradecr.aft as an end in itself Our thesis is fortunately rather simple and expressed as follonr.
Opposition counterintelligence ofncrs entaged in the applicauon of control ar|d operational measures will be faced with the task ofobserving and reporting clandestine and covert activity. As disanssed, such activity bespeak greater or lesser degrees ofscrery and concealment designed to foil observation. -fh very procsss of secl"eqr and concealment lherefore beame a yalid and in many cases the only target for observation. tlndersbnding the chamctr ofthese processes (id est understahdihg tradcraft) will sensitize the counterintelligence officer to the manner in which observation is being manipulated, and in consort with other methodolo$, permit him to pirce the leil of seo.ecy, uncovering that which is concealed. We again brifly note the functions of counterintelligence, this Um in trms ofthe correspondirg mans of secregr and concealment used to cloak r.rnderground activib/.
1. CONTROL MEASURES. Control measures are foiled by the armngemenls

movemht Why is this? Orle answer has to do with the quality of counterintlligence ibelf. Another has to do with the exigencies of agnry. Human beings, when used as instruments for the performance of sectet activity in liu or on behalfofothers are khown as agenb. Extnsiv use ofagehb, as n know, is a hallmark of cohspirag/. Agency by its very defnition includes fteasures of direction ard control and an altogether logical and safely assumed process of dialogue. Detection of such communication is in many cases de {icto evidence of underground activity. The foild eqtripment buy or the foiled passage of documenb are two ready exampls.

These units would be stationed in their home countries but remain available on permanent call to the united Nations.

When the CohstittrUonal Corrvention in Philadelphia ended ib secr"et proceedings oh Se?Umbet f7, L787, few Americans were prepared for the document that emrged. Insterd of rwising the Articles of Confederation, the fi-amers had cteated a fuirdamentally new national plan that placed over tfte states a supreme toymnent with broad porvers. They proposed to submit to conventiohs ih each state, elected 'by the People tftereof,' for ratiffcation. Immediatet a fierce storm of argumnt broke. Federalist sr.rpportrs, Anti-federalist opponehb, and seekers of a middle ground ltrove to balance public order and personal liberly as they praised, condernne4 challehged, and analyzed tfte rew Constitution. The Debate on the Constitution captures, on a scale unmatched by any previous collction, the ertraordinary enersl ahd

eloquenc ofour ffrst national political campaiSn. Here in chronological order are hundreds of ner,rapaper articles, pamphleb, speeches, and private letters written or delivered from Septembr 1787 to August I788. Along with familiar ffgures like Franklin, Madisor, patrick Henry,Jefferson, and Washington, scores of less famous citizens are represented, all speaking clearly and passionately about government The most f"mous writings of the ratiffcauon skuggle-the Federalist essays of Hamilton ahd Madison-are placed ih their original context, alongside the argumenb of able Antifederalist antagonists, such as "8rutus" and the "Federal Farmer". Part One ofThe Debate on the Constitudon collect5 press polemics and private commentaries frotn Septeftber 1787 toJanuary 1788. That autumn, powerful argumenb were made against the new charter by Virginian George Mason and the still-unidentified "Fderal Farmer," whil in New York nu6papers, the Federalist ssays initiated a strident defense. Dozens of speeches from the state ratiting conventions show how the "draft of a plan, nothing but a dead letter," in Madisont wor&, had "life and validity... breathed into it by the voice ofthe people." Included are the @nvenUons in Pennsylvania, whereJames Wilson confronted the demoaatic skpticism ofthose representing the t stem fi.ontier, and in Massachusetts, whereJohn Hancock and Samul Adams forged a compromise that saved the coun'by from years ofpolitical convulsion. part two collecb press polemics and privat commntaries fi.om January to August 178E, and includes all the amendments proposed by stat ratitint corrventions. It also print dozens of speeches fi.om the South Carolina, Virtinia, Nw Yorlq and North Carolina conventions. Included ar dramatic confrontations fi.om Virtinia, where Patrick Henry pitted his letendary oratorical skills against the persuasive logic of Madison, and from New York, where Alexander Hamilton f"ced the brilliant Anti&deralist Melancton smith.

We expected some "leakage" oflhe RESISTER oubide spcial Forces, We did not erapect national exposure. Nor did we anticipate the swell of patrioffc support for our cause and the consequent demand for our quarterly publication. Frankly, nae were overwhelmed by the volume of rquests for subscriptions, information, advice and training. The dilemma ofthe Special Forcs Underground is t$at it is not organized to be a coftmercial enterprise and t'rere is no rhechahism in place enabling itto act as one. Nor, for seclrity reasons can dter be one. Yet, as unrepentaht laissez-faire capitalisb, we rightfully expect par value for Tte RESISTER, plus reasonable profit for our efort to inyest in ongoing projecb. Oridnally, par value for The RESISTER was the pro-constilltional political education of Special Forces soldiers ;' and the profft r./ss the expansion of the undertround. Now, given the magnitude of civilian support for our cause and requesb for our publicauon, that is no longer practical.

the underground, our sympathizers and our readership. By the time The RESISTER is published, targeted for distribution, then passed down the rat line, the cost to deliver a single grey cDW per quartr to a civilian reader is $6.00. Ifour cause and Tte RESISTER are ofvalue to you, we ask thatyou contribute $2O.OO and we will send you four issues beginning with the Winter 1994 issue. Due Ia deaand etaceedihg our budget pr issue w can no longer offer gratis distributioi. outside the underground. The inherent security risk of maintaining a mailing list and the security requirements necessary to protect it and compartment access to it are time consuming. Also, the current distribution schem for Th RESISTER lvas neither designed nor structured

to accornmodat subscr"iptiors for obvious

security reasons. We cah do it but it will be slow. We will send distribution down t]re rat lin only twice per quarter- Be patint There is an implied responsibilit that goes with receigt of a grey copy. Make as many WHITE copis as you desire and distribute them to trusted friends. Don't put them into the han& ofthe unsyftpathetic or pass tfiem to tte opposition (make '!them" work for it).
