Stopping the Killing: How Civil Wars End. “I foresee that man will resign himself to new abominations, that soon only soldiers and bandits will be left.” Jorge Luis Borges. The Garden of Forking Paths 6 MARK MIRABELLO INTRODUCTION This work—the Handbook for Rebels and Outlaws—is a book about free- dom. Written for intellectual swashbucklers–men and women who are radi- cals in politics and infidels in religion–warriors who hammer the stake of fear into the heart of tyranny–this volume belongs in select book collec- tions, between the black magic and the pornography texts. Designed as a reference book for the enemies of all orthodoxies and despotisms, the Handbook for Rebels and Outlaws contains much informa- tion that is not beautiful. The reader must remember, however, that bru- tality is a fact in nature. When the autumn comes—observe the Chinese— no leaf is spared because of its beauty, and no flower is spared because of its fragrance. The information detailed here has been excavated from diverse sources. I have quarried the writings of philosophers and fiends, saints and mass murderers, sages and madmen, beneficent societies and sinister conven- ticles, illuminated religions and blasphemous cults. Why have I used evil sources? According to a traditional teaching— this one found among Kabbalahists—the wise man can learn from any source—even a thief. The thief is ever watchful, he takes every opportu- nity, and he does not despise the least gain. Besides, as the Argentine Jorge Luis Borges pointed out, “In adultery, there is usually tenderness and self-sacrifice; in murder, courage; in profa- nation and blasphemy, a certain satanic splendor.” *** This work–it is important to emphasize– is not an instruction manual for criminals. Frankly, in the current age–an era of depravity that the Hin- dus call the “Age of Kali”—violating laws is unnecessary. In the proper “context,” all crime is legal in our corrupt civilization. Do you like to lie? Become a journalist. Do you like to slander the dead? Become a historian. Do you like to libel the species? Become a nov- elist. Are you an authoritarian? Do you like to degrade, humiliate, and domi- nate others? Become a prison warden–or an elementary school teacher. Are you a sadist? Are you excited by the agonized shrieks of helpless beings? If you like to torture animals to death, become a kosher butcher. If REBELS AND OUTLAWS 7 you like to torture people to death–to poison, burn and cut them with impunity— become an oncologist. Do you enjoy doing evil and spreading terror? If killing strangers from behind with a knife, a garrote, or your naked hands arouses you, become a military commando. If mass murder is your interest–if exterminating thou- sands of people like germs and insects pleases you—become a combat pilot. Or–if you prefer to kill without danger to your own person–find employment in an abortion clinic. Over his career, one abortion pioneer in Canada personally killed more than thirty thousand unborn humans! *** Finally, this clarification must be made: although the Handbook for Rebels and Outlaws is a book about freedom, in a real sense pure and unsullied “freedom” does not exist. In the words of one anarchist writer—Yves Fremion, the author of Orgasms of History–only “liberation” exists, and “liberation” has no final stage. It is a “process of ongoing amelioration.” But if the struggle is perpetual–if there will always be statute laws and moral codes, straitjackets and leg irons, priests and hangmen–what is the point of rebellion? And what is the point of outlawry? “Victory,” to cite Yves Fremion again, “comes in the form of the op- pressors never feeling safe and secure and of tyrants living everywhere in a state of fear.” Besides, although they are always reviled and crucified in life, rebels and outlaws become cultural icons in death. Refusing to be slaves–refus- ing to toil and obey–these men and women–their short lives enriched by vengeance and loot—inspire our legends and shape our hopes. 8 MARK MIRABELLO MAXIMS OF THE REBEL AND THE OUTLAW 1. Understand that no one can give you freedom. Freedom is a treasure that must be stolen. 2. Do not believe anything until it has been officially denied. 3. Remember the words of Frederick the Great of Prussia: “he who defends everything defends nothing.” 4. Remember Aleister Crowley’s warnings: your friend can do more harm than a stranger and the greatest danger lies in your own habits. 5. Keep plans simple. Do not take unnecessary risks. Trust only what you control. 6. Follow the wisdom of Sun Tzu, and always provide the enemy with an escape route. When surrounded, even a rodent will fight ferociously. 7. Know that when you fight alone and on foot, you are the most diffi- cult target to locate on the battlefield. Your intelligence makes you the stealthiest of all weapons. 8. If you must die fighting, have an audience. 9. Never forget that dupes believe, slaves fear, and rebels defy. REBELS AND OUTLAWS 9 A-Z of Rebels and Outlaws ACTION Action is all-important. According to a Neo-Confucian maxim, “To know and not to act is not yet to know.” AFGHANISTAN A harsh country populated by implacable warriors, Afghanistan has been called the “grave of empires.” The tribal code in Afghanistan is based on loyalty and revenge. The Pashtun teach their children to be aggressive, to lie to avoid punishment, and to fear only public humiliation. In 1839 the British Empire invaded Afghanistan, ousted the leader, and installed a puppet government. The victory seemed complete, but small- scale fighting continued. In 1842 Kabul rose up, and the British promised to withdraw, under a promise of safe passage. Approximately 16,500 people–British Empire soldiers and camp fol- lowers–left the city. Ruthlessly harried during their retreat, only one person in the group, a British surgeon named William Brydon, would survive to reach the British fortress at Jalalabad. In the twentieth century, the brave Afghans helped destroy the awe- some Soviet Empire. Fighting a classic “guerrilla war of a thousand cuts” against the Soviet invaders, the Afghans ambushed convoys, mined roads, and destroyed bridges and railroads. They struck at night, in the rain, when the enemy was eating, or when the enemy had just finished marching. The Afghan guerrillas attacked aircraft on the ground, the power supply, dams, bridges, pipelines, isolated posts, convoys, and the enemy’s ammunition and fuel. AFLATOXIN A lethal substance—allegedly used by illicit secret police forces—aflatoxin is found in fungus-infested wheat and peanut crops.

    Université de Montréal Département de sociologie – Faculté des arts et des sciences Essai sur la radicalité politique – les violences faites contre soi Margaux KLEIN Dirigé par Valérie AMIRAUX Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des arts et des sciences en vue de l’obtention du grade de maître ès sciences (M. Sc.) en sociologie Résumé : Je me suis demandée dans ce travail comment l’étude des violences auto sacrificielles pouvait nous aider à comprendre la radicalité politique. Je me suis concentrée sur trois idéal-types : celui de la violence mystique, de la violence ascétique et enfin de la violence charismatique. Pour appréhender ces types de rapport à la violence, j’ai développé l’idée de « façon d’être au monde » qui désigne un cadre de pensée particulier, une façon de comprendre le monde et de le façonner. La notion englobe, entre autres, un imaginaire politique, une échelle de valeurs, une cosmogonie particulière, mais aussi un ensemble de choix et de gestes et, notamment, d’actions violentes. Pour développer ce point et le faire dialoguer avec les différents types de violence faite contre soi, j’ai sélectionné trois cas : Mohammed Atta illustre la violence mystique, Bobby Sands et Catherine de Sienne me permettent de questionner la violence ascétique et enfin, la violence charismatique est celle dans laquelle s’engagent les membres du PKK. Mots clefs : Violence – radicalité – attaque suicide – grève de la faim – immolation – idéal-type Abstract : This thesis aims to understand political radicalism through the study of self violence. I worked with three ideal types of violence : the mystical, the ascetic and the charismatic one.

The Life Course of Apocalyptic Groups Abstract Apocalyptic groups have launched attacks in the past, which if competently executed, would have been catastrophic. The security community needs a greater understanding of when law enforcement or the military should intercept dangerous apocalyptic groups. This comparative case analysis explores the length of time apocalyptic groups remain in existence, and when, during their life-span, they cross the threshold to catastrophic violence. The apocalyptic groups examined in this paper are centrally focused on the expectation of end-times or they seek to catalyze its arrival in ways that offend laws or social norms.

  • Charisma, Volatility and Violence
    JOHN WALLISS Charisma, Volatility and Violence Assessing the Role of Crises of Charismatic Authority in Precipitating Incidents of Millenarian Violence Introduction In this article I intend to develop some of the points I have made elsewhere regarding the role of what may be termed ‘crises of charismatic authority’ in producing volatility or even violence within marginal apocalyptic reli- gious groups (see Walliss 2004, 2005b and forthcoming). The last quarter of the twentieth century witnessed several incidents where such groups engaged in violent actions against themselves, others in the outside world, or typically both. On November 18, 1978, in Jonestown, Guyana, over nine hundred members of Peoples Temple, a Californian religious movement led by Jim Jones, died in an act of collective ‘revolutionary suicide’; almost a decade-and-a-half later, seventy-four members of the Branch Davidians, a Seventh-Day Adventist splinter group, met a fiery end at the conclusion of a 51-day standoff with US authorities at their home at Mount Carmel, Waco, Texas; between October 1994 and March 1997, around seventy-four members of the Order of the Solar Temple died in a series of ritualised murder-suicides in Switzerland, Quebec and France; in March 1995, mem- bers of Aum Shinrikyō, a Japanese group already implicated in at least twenty-three other murders, launched an abortive attack on the Tokyo underground using the nerve gas sarin, an attack that could easily have resulted in thousands of fatalities; two years later, thirty-nine members of a group calling itself Heaven’s Gate committed collective suicide in the ap- parent belief that the world was about to be ‘spaded under’, and that they could escape the destruction via a space ship hiding behind the then-pass- ing Hale–Bopp comet; finally, in Uganda, in the spring of 2000, around 780 members of the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God (hereafter MRTCG) died in a series of murder-suicides, the details and exact reasons for which are still unclear.

Cusack and James R. Lewis With regard to processes of change which are indicative of decline, loss of membership or social and political influence, weakening or fragmentation, and final demise or extinction, in the study of new religious movements (NRMs) no agreed vocabulary has emerged to map the particular trajectories of specific groups or to craft a model that has application across either the “class” of NRMs as a whole, or of certain sub-classes (UFO religions, ephemeral “spiritual” clusters, or neo-Hindu guru focused groups, for example). The language used to describe such negative developments among all religions may be strong and definite (e.g., death, end, eradication) or more modest, as in the use of “demise” as a broad catch-all that can encompass everything from decisive, datable ends to attenuated trends and indicators that bode ill, but where no endgame has been reached (de Jong 2018).

DRAPER, B.A. A THESIS IN COMMUNICATION STUDIES Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfdlment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Approved Accepted August 2001 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to first thank my mother and friend, Anita Lee Draper. She not only brought me into this world, but has also been a pillar of strength for me throughout my life. Her courage, wisdom, and sense of humor have helped me survive graduate school and writing a thesis. Thank you, mom, I love you more every day. My stepfather, "Howdy" Dean Geurin, has been very loving and supportive of me, even before I really deserved it. He has consistently provided the encouragement and approval I needed from a father figure. His devotion and patience went above and beyond my expectations. Thanks, Howdy, for doing everything you didn't have to do. Jeff R, Anthony has shown me what it really means to be loved in a romantic relationship. His amazing faith in me was a source of bravery to enter and complete graduate school. I would have been lost with out his belief in my abilities. Thank you, Jeff, for believing in me before I could believe in myself Next, I want to thank Dr. Bolanle A. Olaniran, my thesis chairperson. He has taught me much of what I know about communication during both my undergraduate and graduate experience at Texas Tech University. Although his classroom instruction is excellent, he is even more skilled at teaching life's lessons.
