In 1944, the Office of Strategic Services, the predecessor of the CIA, produced a (real) guide to “simple sabotage” that spies and ordinary citizens could use to hurt the Axis powers. It’s remarkable to read given some of the Woke things happening within companies today…

The full declassified guide is here (https://www.gutenberg.org/files/26184/page-images/26184-images.pdf). The first 30 pages are devoted to physical sabotage, but page 32 is where the “wait this is really happening in 2021” starts.

If you’re building a startup, read this — don’t let this happen at your company 🙂
