Silent Killing - Section 2

Other blows. Demonstrate the proper method of kicking and the use of the boot as a killing weapon once the opponent is down. (kick on the side or back of the head, noting that the effect is obtained more by speed than weight.) Unless students possess unusually good foot-work and balance, discourage kicking above knee height, unless the opponent has both hands occupied.

Demonstrate the boxing blows and the chin-jab, the latter with the fingers ready to follow up to the eyes. Utilize the occasion to obtain some improvement in students' foot-work and explain how the body must be properly positioned in order to obtain telling effect from either boxing blows or the openhand chin-jab. Explain that neither does more than put the opponent temporarily out of action and that killing follow-ups are necessary and must be applied at once.

Show the use of the knee and how it can often be used in simultaneous combination with other attacks and how, while being used, it is an excellent guard for one's self.

Show how the head and elbows can be used for attack when the opponent is not in position for more effective modes of attack.

Show, also, for such occasions, the finger-tip jabs to the eyes, base of the throat and solar plexus.

Students should be told now never to go to the ground if they can help it. If they have to, they should get up again as quickly as possible. While you are killing your opponent on the ground, it is extremely difficult to continue to attack.

Students should now practice on the dummies all the blows they have been taught so far.

This section can be concluded by emphasizing to students that if their knowledge of the subject is limited to the contents of Sections 1 and 2, they will be extremely dangerous antagonists if only they will attack first and keep on attacking. Don't stop just because an opponent is crippled. If he has a broken arm, that is only of value because it makes it easier to kill him.

MKULTRA Proposal - Subproject 133

Proposal entitled [redacted] Submitted on behalf of [redacted] June 1962 DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY June 14, 1962 Purpose of Study: The purpose of this proposal is a request for financial support to continue an investigation of microbial action on marine manganese nodules and terrigenous mineral sulfides, which the principal investigator has been pursuing since 1958. Very intensive work on these materials is being carried on by him, with fruitful results, during the current year, 1961-62, under a grant from the [...] of Stanford University, California. Since relatively little is known about microbial mineral transformation, and in view of current academic and practical interest of microbiologists, geologists, mining engineers, soil scientists, oceanographers, etc., in the subject, this research should make a valuable contribution to science. Summary of Past Work: a. Bacteriology of mineral sulfides. Attempts were made to evaluate the microbial flora isolable from unsterilized, crushed sulfi

Involvement in Domestic Affairs

7 May 1973 MEMORANDUM FOR: O/DDI 1. This memorandum responds to the DDI's request for a listing of any questionable involvements in domestic affairs. I do not believe that CRS is doing anything that a reasonable man could construe as improper. 2. CRS does, of course, have several programs to acquire still pictures, movies, videotapes [...] 3. CRS files do not generally bear on U.S. citizens or organizations. The biographic file-building criteria specifically excludes U.S. nationals unless the person has become of such major importance in the political life of a foreign country that the file is essential. (To my knowledge, only 2 persons so qualify. Our Cuban files probably include some persons who are now U.S. citizens but we have no way to separate them; we have files on U.S. defectors to Cuba.) 4. The CIA Library has several informal snag files intended to aid the librarians in answering the kinds of questions that they know they will get on a continuing basis. An appointments fi

CIA Domestic Activities Timeline - March 1973

1 March 1973 Maury related that former Director Richard Helms has been asked by Senator Fulbright to reappear before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Maury said that Mr. Helms would probably be queried on the Watergate incident, Agency training of police, and ITT and went on to describe Mr. Helms' anticipated response. Maury reported that Congressman Holifield's staff is anxiously awaiting a letter from the Director in response to the Congressman's written inquiry on police training. The Director noted plans to forward it. 2 March 1973 Maury highlighted yesterday's LIG meeting at the White House and his recommendation that we not provide examples of Congressional leaks of classified information for White House use in reacting to Congressional criticism of the Administration's "indiscretions." The DDS advised that the Office of Security is keeping a reasonably complete record of obvious leaks of intelligence information in the press and elsewhere. 5
