Some of you might be interested in this OSS Simple Sabotage Field Manual.

I now realise that I’ve worked with saboteurs.

Whoever wrote that obviously ran out of time to fill the required number of pages so simply copied The Australian Public Service Meetings Procedures Manual.

Intended for emergency use in these difficult times, but the idiot actually read it and took it seriously.

The Nazis made use of factories in occupied countries to produce equipment for the Wehrmacht. Some of the sabotage the workers did was clever.

The Germans got a French foundry to make a lot of tank tracks for panzers. Tracks have to be replaced fairly regularly on tanks in combat.

With a bit of sleight-of-hand, the specs got changed by a very tiny amount.

Result: trainloads of tank tracks that were just a very few millimetres too short.

And they don’t stretch.

I’m afraid for all of us.

When you can cripple battalions of Tiger tanks, it’s a fighting blow.

Another example of the infiltration of the OSS SSFM?

““We use a red placard when a building violation is posted, which provides the language ‘unsafe structure’ per the County Code. This does not necessarily mean the building is unsafe or in imminent danger,” Melissa Berthier, a spokeswoman for the city, wrote in an e-mail on Tuesday. “

Guess which building that is referring to.

Yes. They are called “government”

I don’t see it online. Any chance of scanning a couple of pages for us?

politicised government workers will use this techniques to slow down orders from the actual government

communists will often be feeding secret documentation to fellow communist governments and be causing chaos in civil and military projects

eg the submarine programme, dud subs became – no subs for more money.

demoralisation:
denouncing fellow workers to the gestapo/ human resources for “offences” against social justice.

I don’t think that the commies had to do much to derail the new subs programme.

That probably has more to do with the Gallic outlook on such projects e.g. ‘what do you mean, we can’t ALL go on holidays for the whole of August?’.

1st time happenchance
2nd time coincidence
3rd time confirmed enemy action

remember sea sprite?

what scares me is the supposed spending on the military here – it will all go into creches and healthcare – i bet they don’t buy one bullet.

If you don’t believe me, look at the chaos in Russia.

One of the many reasons I regard Cubase as sabotage software, i.e., a seemingly creative product that too often sabotages the attempt at creation:

…This morning I tuned the lute from one of the guitars that has an onboard tuner, then this evening I composed a dozen or so bars of a solo lute piece, recorded it in Cubase then wrote the score therein, playing it back on a synthesiser
that revealed my lute to be out of tune by about a third of a semitone. Perplexed, I retuned the lute to the synthesised sounds. Then compared the tuning with the guitar and found that it was Cubase that was out of fucking tune.

How on Earth does a bug like that even happen? Sure enough, on closing and rebooting the program, it was mysteriously back in tune. But now my lute was out of tune.

It’s this sort of faffing around with random bugs that destroys the creative moment and you end up just swearing and doing something else.

The very root of the word betrays it’s meaning
early 20th century: from French, from saboter ‘kick with sabots, wilfully destroy’

Updating it somewhat might be to “toss a monkey wrench into the gears.”
