A conservative cable news pundit, whom federal prosecutors accused last week of fabricating a life story of being a former deep-cover CIA officer, now sits in jail, unable to publicly address the felony charges against him.

But in a December 2013 email query by The Washington Times, Wayne Shelby Simmons categorically denied accusations in a below-the-surface campaign, principally from former CIA officer Kent Clizbe

.“CIA knows I’m here,” Mr. Simmons told The Times, adding that he had documents to prove he had served as an “outside paramilitary special operations” officer from 1973 to 2000.

Mr. Clizbe, now backed by the U.S. Justice Department, says Mr. Simmons is a consummate con man who duped all of Washington.

The arrest of Mr. Simmons, who gained notoriety as a non-payroll Fox News analyst, has shaken up the conservative retired military community in which he was a card-carrying member. Some wonder whether the Obama administration is targeting a prominent critic.

“This administration does not like Fox,” said one retired officer, noting Mr. Obama’s repeated criticism of the channel.

During the George W. Bush administration, the Pentagon classified Mr. Simmons as a retired military analyst. He, like the others, received special war briefings from Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld. Mr. Simmons‘ Facebook page is stocked with photos of him with prominent Fox News personalities and conservative activists.

In late 2013, Mr. Clizbe and a second former government worker were circulating their findings that Mr. Simmons was a fraud.

Declassified CIA Manual Shows How US Uses Bureaucracy To Destabilize Governments
The CIA is proud of its Kafkaesque field manual and evidently still views it as an unorthodox but effective form of destabilizing enemy operations around the world.

(ANTIMEDIA) When most people think of CIA sabotage, they think of coups, assassinations, proxy wars, armed rebel groups, and even false flags — not strategic stupidity and purposeful bureaucratic ineptitude. However, according to a declassified document from 1944, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), which later became the CIA, used and trained a curious breed of “citizen-saboteurs” in occupied nations like Norway and France.

The World War II-era document, called Simple Sabotage Field Manual, outlines ways in which operatives can disrupt and demoralize enemy administrators and police forces. The first section of the document, which can be read in its entirety here, addresses “Organizations and Conferences” — and how to turn them into a “dysfunctional mess”:

— Insist on doing everything through “channels.” Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.
— Make “speeches.” Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your “points” by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences.
— When possible, refer all matters to committees, for “further study and consideration.” Attempt to make the committee as large as possible — never less than five.
— Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.
— Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.
— Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.
— Advocate “caution.” Be “reasonable” and urge your fellow-conferees to be “reasonable” and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.

On its official webpage, the CIA boasts about finding innovative ways to bring about sabotage, calling their tactics for destabilization “surprisingly relevant.” While they admit that some of the ideas may seem a bit outdated, they claim that “Together they are a reminder of how easily productivity and order can be undermined.”

In a second section targeted at manager-saboteurs, the guide lists the following tactical moves:

— In making work assignments, always sign out the unimportant jobs first. See that important jobs are assigned to inefficient workers.
— Insist on perfect work in relatively unimportant products; send back for refinishing those which have the least flaw.
— To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions.
— Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.
— Multiply the procedures and clearances involved in issuing instructions, paychecks, and so on. See that three people have to approve everything where one would do.

Finally, the guide presents protocol for how saboteur-employees can disrupt enemy operations, too:

— Work slowly.
— Contrive as many interruptions to your work as you can.
— Do your work poorly and blame it on bad tools, machinery, or equipment. Complain that these things are preventing you from doing your job right.
— Never pass on your skill and experience to a new or less skillful worker.

The CIA is proud of its Kafkaesque field manual and evidently still views it as an unorthodox but effective form of destabilizing enemy operations around the world. Of course, so too might an anarchist or revolutionary look at such tactics and view them in the context of disrupting certain domestic power structures, many of which are already built like a bureaucratic house of cards.

It seems if any country should refrain from showcasing how easy it is to disrupt inefficient federal agencies, however, it would be the United States.

Of course, this was well known to the General de Gaulle who kicked the Yanks out of France in 1964 for good reasons. Of course this is still part of the CIA manual. The CIA interference in Ukraine is blatant as it also comes with the blessing of the administration and overt CASH donations in the hundreds of millions to the "new" government.
