CIA Publishes Its Own "Assassin's Manual," Proving It Condones
Killing Those Who Oppose U.S. Policy
The CIA 'Killer's Manual' was kept out of the public eye for
years, but now we know it teaches the 'fine art' of
assassination as if it was a mandatory college course.

If there are any lingering doubts about whether the U.S.
government acts like a bunch of mafia hit men, the following
documents, classified for years, should clear things up.
And as the “CIA’s Killer’s Instruction Manual” points out
remember that possibly the only thing separating the mafia from
the U.S. government is that the thugs in the underworld are
much, much smarter.
Never in a month of Sundays would mafia thugs ever think of
leaving behind a paper trail, like the following CIA documents
indicate, on how exactly to pull off the perfect assassination
attempt.
But that’s exactly what the U.S. government did when the CIA
distributed a training manual for would-be killers called “A
Study of Assassination,” distributed to agents and operatives
taking part in the agency’s 1953 covert coup in Guatemala, which
ousted the country’s democratically elected President.
The killer’s training manual. hidden and classified until 1997,
until the National Security Archive, a Washington D.C.
public-interest group, obtained a copy among roughly 1,400 pages
found by the group concerning the Guatemala coup, in light of
CIA statements that it has destroyed all other secret files
about the coup.
Since the release of the documents, however, their contents have
remained virtually hidden from the public eye, the messy details
of how to pull off the perfect assassination never making it
into the mainstream press and only viewed by a select few
elsewhere.
Presented by the CIA almost like a college course for future
killers, the Department of Defense and CIA spokesmen this week
denied knowing anything about the manual, adding they were not
aware of any such teaching tool being distributed to agents or
operatives.
As the manual verifies purely by its publication, the U.S.
government is involved up to its neck in the killing business,
the involvement going back to the early 1950’s and most likely
much farther back.
And it’s safe to say nothing has changed today, since reports by
John Perkins in his latest book, “The Economic Hit Man” and
other reports surfacing, seem to indicate the killing business
is booming for the government.
Take, for example, the recent story told by former Army wife Kay
Griggs of Virginia, who recounts how her husband for more than
10 years told her about his involvement with training and
participating in government hit squads, knowledge of which leads
to the doorstep of some of the most powerful leaders in our
country, including the Oval Office.
Also, consider the recent stories coming out of Venezuela where
democratically elected President Hugo Chavez is running for his
life from the CIA after he publicly on numerous occasions has
announced to the world that the Bush administration wants him
dead for not cooperating with policies that would leave his
country bankrupt and his people starving.
And in a sick, twisted manner, working on a theory that the end
justifies the means, the CIA published it s killer’s manual,
breaking down the art of committing the perfect assassination
into eight major categories, including definition, employment,
justification, classification, the assassin, planning,
techniques and examples.

Here are the portions of the manual, the words taken directly
from the CIA writers illustrating just how sick, twisted and
distorted they really are:
DEFINITION
According to the CIA, assassination is a term thought to be
derived from "Hashish", a drug similar to marijuana, said to
have been used by Hassan al-Sabbah to induce motivation in his
followers, who were assigned to carry out political and other
murders, usually at the cost of their lives.
It is here used to describe the planned killing of a person who
is not under the legal jurisdiction of the killer, who is not
physically in the hands of the killer, who has been selected by
a resistance organization for death, and whose death provides
positive advantages to that organization.
EMPLOYMENT
Assassination is an extreme measure not normally used in
clandestine operations. It should be assumed that it will never
be ordered or authorized by any U.S. Headquarters, though the
latter may in rare instances agree to its execution by members
of an associated foreign service.
This reticence is partly due to the necessity for committing
communications to paper. No assassination instructions should
ever be written or recorded. Consequently, the decision to
employ this technique must nearly always be reached in the
field, at the area where the act will take place. Decision and
instructions should be confined to an absolute minimum of
persons. Ideally, only one person will be involved. No report
may be made, but usually the act will be properly covered by
normal news services, whose output is available to all
concerned.
JUSTIFICATION
Murder is not morally justifiable. Self-defense may be argued if
the victim has knowledge which may destroy the resistance
organization if divulged. Assassination of persons responsible
for atrocities or reprisals may be regarded as just punishment.
Killing a political leader whose burgeoning career is a clear
and present danger to the cause of freedom may be held
necessary.
But assassination can seldom be employed with a clear
conscience. Persons who are morally squeamish should not attempt
it.
CLASSIFICATIONS
The techniques employed will vary according to whether the
subject is unaware of his danger, aware but unguarded, or
guarded. They will also be affected by whether or not the
assassin is to be killed with the subject hereafter,
assassinations in which the subject is unaware will be termed
"simple"; those where the subject is aware but unguarded will be
termed "chase"; those where the victim is guarded will be termed
"guarded."
If the assassin is to die with the subject, the act will be
called "lost." If the assassin is to escape, the adjective will
be "safe." It should be noted that no compromises should exist
here. The assassin must not fall alive into enemy hands.
A further type division is caused by the need to conceal the
fact that the subject was actually the victim of assassination,
rather than an accident or natural causes. If such concealment
is desirable the operation will be called "secret"; if
concealment is immaterial, the act will be called "open"; while
if the assassination requires publicity to be effective it will
be termed "terroristic."
Following these definitions, the assassination of Julius Caesar
was safe, simple, and terroristic, while that of Huey Long was
lost, guarded and open. Obviously, successful secret
assassinations are not recorded as assassination at all. [Illeg]
of Thailand and Augustus Caesar may have been the victims of
safe, guarded and secret assassination.
THE ASSASSIN
In safe assassinations, the assassin needs the usual qualities
of a clandestine agent. He should be determined, courageous,
intelligent, resourceful, and physically active. If special
equipment is to be used, such as firearms or drugs, it is clear
that he must have outstanding skill with such equipment.
Except in terroristic assassinations, it is desirable that the
assassin be transient in the area. He should have an absolute
minimum of contact with the rest of the organization and his
instructions should be given orally by one person only. His safe
evacuation after the act is absolutely essential, but here again
contact should be as limited as possible. It is preferable that
the person issuing instructions also conduct any withdrawal or
covering action which may be necessary.
In lost assassination, the assassin must be a fanatic of some
sort. Politics, religion, and revenge are about the only
feasible motives. Since a fanatic is unstable psychologically,
he must be handled with extreme care. He must not know the
identities of the other members of the organization, for
although it is intended that he die in the act, something may go
wrong. While the Assassin of Trotsky has never revealed any
significant information, it was unsound to depend on this when
the act was planned.
PLANNING
When the decision to assassinate has been reached, the tactics
of the operation must be planned, based upon an estimate of the
situation similar to that used in military operations. The
preliminary estimate will reveal gaps in information and
possibly indicate a need for special equipment which must be
procured or constructed. When all necessary data has been
collected, an effective tactical plan can be prepared. All
planning must be mental; no papers should ever contain evidence
of the operation.
In resistance situations, assassination may be used as a
counter-reprisal. Since this requires advertising to be
effective, the resistance organization must be in a position to
warn high officials publicly that their lives will be the price
of reprisal action against innocent people. Such a threat is of
no value unless it can be carried out, so it may be necessary to
plan the assassination of various responsible officers of the
oppressive regime and hold such plans in readiness to be used
only i f provoked by excessive brutality. Such plans must be
modified frequently to meet changes in the tactical situation.
TECHNIQUES
The essential point of assassination is the death of the
subject. A human being may be killed in many ways but sureness
is often overlooked by those who may be emotionally unstrung by
the seriousness of this act they intend to commit. The specific
technique employed will depend upon a large number of variables,
but should be constant in one point: Death must be absolutely
certain. The attempt on Hitler's life failed because the
conspiracy did not give this matter proper attention.
The techniques portion of the manual then went on to provide
details about the particular effectiveness and use of an
assortment of weapons, including all types of firearms,
explosives as well as blunt and sharp-edged weapons. However,
the most interesting assassination techniques recommended by the
CIA were:
1. Manual
It is possible to kill a man with the bare hands, but very few
are skillful enough to do it well. Even a highly trained Judo
expert will hesitate to risk killing by hand unless he has
absolutely no alternative. However, the simplest local tools are
often much the most efficient means of assassination. A hammer,
axe, wrench, screw driver, fire poker, kitchen knife, lamp
stand, or anything hard, heavy and handy will suffice. A length
of rope or wire or a belt will do if the assassin is strong and
agile. All such improvised weapons have the important advantage
of availability and apparent innocence. The obviously lethal
machine gun failed to kill Trotsky where an item of sporting
goods succeeded.
In all safe cases where the assassin may be subject to search,
either before or after the act, specialized weapons should not
be used. Even in the lost case, the assassin may accidentally be
searched before the act and should not carry an incrimin ating
device if any sort of lethal weapon can be improvised at or near
the site. If the assassin normally carries weapons because of
the nature of his job, it may still be desirable to improvise
and implement at the scene to avoid disclosure of his ident ity.
2. Accidents
For secret assassination, either simple or chase, the contrived
accident is the most effective technique. When successfully
executed, it causes little excitement and is only casually
investigated.
The most efficient accident, in simple assassination, is a fall
of 75 feet or more onto a hard surface. Elevator shafts, stair
wells, unscreened windows and bridges will serve. Bridge falls
into water are not reliable. In simple cases a private meeting
with the subject may be arranged at a properly-cased location.
The act may be executed by sudden, vigorous [excised] of the
ankles, tipping the subject over the edge. If the assassin
immediately sets up an outcry, playing the "horrified wit ness",
no alibi or surreptitious withdrawal is necessary. In chase
cases it will usually be necessary to stun or drug the subject
before dropping him. Care is required to insure that no wound or
condition not attributable to the fall is discernible after
death.
Falls into the sea or swiftly flowing rivers may suffice if the
subject cannot swim. It will be more reliable if the assassin
can arrange to attempt rescue, as he can thus be sure of the
subject's death and at the same time establish a workable al
ibi.
If the subject's personal habits make it feasible, alcohol may
be used [2 words excised] to prepare him for a contrived
accident of any kind.
Falls before trains or subway cars are usually effective, but
require exact timing and can seldom be free from unexpected
observation.
Automobile accidents are a less satisfactory means of
assassination. If the subject is deliberately run down, very
exact timing is necessary and investigation is likely to be
thorough. If the subject's car is tampered with, reliability is
very low. The subject may be stunned or drugged and then placed
in the car, but this is only reliable when the car can be run
off a high cliff or into deep water without observation.
Arson can cause accidental death if the subject is drugged and
left in a burning building. Reliability is not satisfactory
unless the building is isolated and highly combustible.
3. Drugs
In all types of assassination except terroristic, drugs can be
very effective. If the assassin is trained as a doctor or nurse
and the subject is under medical care, this is an easy and rare
method. An overdose of morphine administered as a sedative will
cause death without disturbance and is difficult to detect. The
size of the dose will depend upon whether the subject has been
using narcotics regularly. If not, two grains will suffice.
If the subject drinks heavily, morphine or a similar narcotic
can be injected at the passing out stage, and the cause of death
will often be held to be acute alcoholism.
Specific poisons, such as arsenic or strychine, are effective
but their possession or procurement is incriminating, and
accurate dosage is problematical. Poison was used unsuccessfully
in the assassination of Rasputin and Kolohan, though the latte r
case is more accurately described as a murder.
EXAMPLES
Agents may be presented brief outlines, with critical
evaluations of the following assassinations and attempts:
Marat, Hedrich, Lincoln, Hitler, Harding, Roosevelt, Grand Duke
