Life is not worth much if you're not free--and worth nothing at all if you're dead. Freedom can bestolen from you at any time. Be prepared. Find out how every citizen can maximize his own freedom whileminimizing the risks by being a secret freedom fighter.A totalitarian state is what we might get after the collapse of society, economic disaster or naturalcataclysm. And then we'll have to fight for our freedom as well as for survival. If you want to be a secretfreedom fighter, you won't join any protest groups, stand on street corners making speeches, or run with amob that throws rocks at cops. The secret freedom fighter must fight alone.The secret freedom fighter has to be the invisible man, always working in secret. Because he is oneman working alone, he doesn't have to do as much damage in a single operation as a guerrilla force would to justify the risk. And he doesn't have to worry that someone will betray him and turn him in to the authorities.With years of experience in governmental, religious and freelance assignments around the world, theauthor has learned how unfree governments work and where they are most vulnerable to attack by anindividual acting on his own. He tells which targets are fair game--and which aren't--choosing weapons andmethods, lethal and non lethal tactics, working within your own limitations to wreak havoc on morale andgovernment operations, and much more.Secret Freedom Fighter:Fighting Tyranny without Terrorizing the Innocentby Jefferson Mack Copyright 1986 by Jefferson Mack ISBN 0-87364-392-5Printed in the United States of AmericaPublished by Paladin Press, a division of Paladin Enterprises, Inc., P.O.

ForewordPlease smuggle this book into any country that you can. No other single work can do more damage toenemies of freedom.Because the author saw and experienced freedom being eroded and limited, he felt compelled to revoltagainst this dangerous trend. His strategy, as revealed in this book, is wonderfully simple: freedom fightersmust plan and act in secret. Having traveled and worked throughout the world, Jefferson Mack can discussfreedom from an international viewpoint. He does not separate American freedom from Soviet freedom fromAfrican freedom. He understands that true freedom must be absolute and each must pursue it in his own way.The secret freedom fighter maximizes his own freedom while minimizing the risks. He foregoes thepsychological need for recognition by acting alone, contrary to man's need to band with others in times of trouble.Unlike a member of an underground resistance movement, the secret freedom fighter has to be the invisibleman in order to inflict the most harm he can to the authorities who are stealing his freedom, while alsomaking himself less vulnerable to those who may betray him and turn him in to the authorities. A pat on theback and support and encouragement from others are not to come to him.The whole idea is that there will be a lot of other people out there doing the same thing. It's the combinedeffect that counts.The author's practical approach makes The Secret Freedom Fighter a how-to book. Its directness allows thereader to pick the level of involvement that best suits the circumstances. Jefferson Mack understands thatpeople have different strengths and weaknesses, and that is why they should work within their ownlimitations to further their freedom. And this makes sense: an elderly person probably would not make a goodfreedom fighter in "the hills"; in fact, he or she likely would be a liability. But that same person couldprove a superb saboteur or spy. Jefferson Mack provides specific tactics on how to accomplish a given goal.Whether it is how to use a magnet to sabotage a computer or how to use an ice pick to assassinate anoppressor, the prospective freedom fighter's survival is stressed. Self-sacrificing heroes are not glorified.The secret freedom fighter must go after those who take his freedom away, taking care to never cause injuryto the ordinary citizen. Anyone who truly believes in freedom could never condone or participate in acts of violence, says Mack, who despises terrorism and takes care to explain that it's cowardly and plain doesn'twork. During this explanation, he defines and differentiates "acts of terror" and "acts of war."To dramatize his examples, Mack uses the scenario of Soviet occupation of the United States. While thispossibility seems preposterous to readers sipping cognac in over- stuffed chairs, the scenario claws at themind's edges enough to give pause. Even during this extreme, readers are instructed not to rally and run forthe hills, but to stay in place and not tell anyone they are fighting.A distinction between good citizens-who blindly obey all laws and restrictions on their freedoms and badcitizens-who do not-explains how bad citizens have helped keep America free. For example, the so-calledunderground economy in America may be an expression of citizens' rebellion against a loophole-riddentaxation system. Perhaps the seventeen years of Prohibition taught us that morals cannot be legislated, andthat those who broke the law during that period were breaking an unjust law. In short, good citizens do notquestion laws or ordinances, they mindlessly obey them. Bad citizens, on the other hand, obey fair and justlaws while protesting others by breaking or bending them.Because this book will be banned in certain countries and heavily censored in others, it may be bannedeventually in America during a repressive administration. Should this occur, you will possess a mostimportant and practical resource. One sentence bears quoting if not memorizing: "Leaders are not to betrusted and followed, they are to be controlled and limited." These kinds of truths abound and you may findyourself unconsciously quoting from the book.Robert HimberRobert Himber, formerly the managing editor of SURVIVE magazine, graduated from Vietnam, class of '66,and holds an advanced degree in social science.Introduction

I love America, but not just the geography, the land, and the people. America is more than that. It's an idea,and it's the idea that I love, the idea that human beings can be free, not because some king or lord gives themfreedom, but because they insist on living that way.Even though I love America, I've spent most of my life living someplace else. That's where the money andthe adventure were for a man with my special kinds of talents. But an American never really leaves home. Healways takes that idea with him, the idea that he is free because he insists on being free, that no one has theright to dictate his thoughts, his desires, his will, or his actions.The longer I have lived in other countries, the more 1 have learned to love the idea of America and thepeople that live that idea.Americans are different from the rest of the world. Whether our families came over on the Mayflower orwith the latest boatload of refugees from the newest commie hell, we all love that same idea, the idea of freedom.Americans are good people and kind people. We love to cooperate, to work together. We invented the idea of teamwork, the idea that by giving a bit of one's self, we not only work for the common good, but we make ourown lives better too. We donate more to charity, we give more to our churches, and we do more voluntary work than any other nation in the world.Because Americans are good people, most Americans obey most of the laws most of the time. We like to getalong with the neighbors, we like the peaceful life, and we would rather bargain and compromise than fight.Most of us don't steal, rape, pillage, or kill. We have no tolerance for the violent criminal, the thug, or thethief. But we are not law- abiding citizens. We are a nation of lawbreakers. Americans break more laws, moreoften than any other group of people in the world.We break laws any time it suits us because we Americans insist on making our own decisions on what goodbehavior is. We don't let politicians, do-gooders, religious cranks, or puritan bluenoses tell us what is good andwhat is bad. We decide that ourselves. If we don't like what they tell us to do, even if they pass a law, we don'tdo it. We want the cop on the beat, but we want him protecting us from the violent criminals, not telling ushow to run our own lives. When he starts trying to do that, we thumb our nose at him, make him the butt of our jokes, and keep right on doing what we want to do.We are the only country in the world where a businessman can make millions of dollars selling a device-aradar device- whose sole purpose is to help us break the law. Some of us don't like the traffic laws and we don'tlike the way they are enforced. We buy radar detectors so we won't get caught when we break the law. Wethink it's smart, and we brag to our friends about how we do it.We don't just break the law ourselves. We help other people, even strangers, do it too. That's the real reasonmost of you bought that CB unit for your car, so strangers could warn you and you could warn them when thehighway patrol was on the prowl. Even without the CB, we'll flash our lights three times and gratefully slowdown when some other stranger returns us the favor on another day.When the policeman stops protecting us, we do it our- selves, even if we have to break the law. We made ahero out of a nervous, little man who broke the laws of New York and started carrying an illegal pistol on thesubway, then used it on four thugs waving sharpened screwdrivers. The main criticism we hear of his action isthat he turned himself in. We wanted him to get away scot-free.Thousands of Americans buy semiautomatic weapons and then convert them to full-automatic fire, andnever bother to tell the Feds or pay the fee for the conversion. If you are not sure how to do that, some fellowAmerican will sell you a book explaining the operation in detail. If necessary, he'll disguise his purpose,claiming the book will teach you how to repair guns. In the process, he'll also teach you how to make a silencerto go with your illegal weapon.But why would any law-abiding American want a silenced MAC-10? He's not buying it so he can rob a bank the next time he loses his job or hire himself out to protect shipments of cocaine. He's buying that weaponbecause he doesn't trust authority, even the authority he helped elect. He knows that he is his only ultimateguarantee of his own freedom and he wants a weapon he can use if he has to prove it.We take pride in being U.S. citizens, and most of us pay our taxes, not because it's the law, but because wewant to do our share. But a lot of Americans have decided the tax system is no longer fair. They have startedbreaking the law, and the IRS can't do much about it. The small business- man running a bar or a restaurantslips a twenty-dollar bill into his pocket instead of the cash register every day. That's over $7,000 in tax-freeincome every year, and that doesn't include the leftover food he takes home to feed his family, but writes off asspoilage. A carpenter builds a sun deck for the dentist that fixed the carpenter's kid's teeth. It's a bar- gain forboth of them, but each such act breaks the law because neither person reported the equivalent income on histax return. (Imagine, the IRS really does insist that the government should get paid a share of that deal.)
