INTRODUCTION
This work(cid:151)the Handbook for Rebels and Outlaws(cid:151)is a book about free-
dom.Writtenforintellectualswashbucklers(cid:150)menandwomenwhoareradi-
cals in politics and infidels in religion(cid:150)warriors who hammer the stake of
fear into the heart of tyranny(cid:150)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(cid:151)observe the Chinese(cid:151)
no leaf is spared because of its beauty, and no flower is spared because of
its fragrance.
Theinformationdetailedherehasbeenexcavatedfromdiversesources.
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(cid:151)
this one found among Kabbalahists(cid:151)the wise man can learn from any
source(cid:151)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, (cid:147)In adultery,
there is usually tenderness and self-sacrifice; in murder, courage; in profa-
nation and blasphemy, a certain satanic splendor.(cid:148)

This work(cid:150)it is important to emphasize(cid:150) is not an instruction manual
for criminals. Frankly, in the current age(cid:150)an era of depravity that the Hin-
dus call the (cid:147)Age of Kali(cid:148)(cid:151)violating laws is unnecessary. In the proper
(cid:147)context,(cid:148) all crime is legal in our corrupt civilization.

Finally,thisclarificationmustbemade:althoughtheHandbookforRebels
and Outlaws is a book about freedom, in a real sense pure and unsullied
(cid:147)freedom(cid:148) does not exist. In the words of one anarchist writer(cid:151)Yves
Fremion, the author of Orgasms of History(cid:150)only (cid:147)liberation(cid:148) exists, and
(cid:147)liberation(cid:148) has no final stage. It is a (cid:147)process of ongoing amelioration.(cid:148)
But if the struggle is perpetual(cid:150)if there will always be statute laws and
moral codes, straitjackets and leg irons, priests and hangmen(cid:150)what is the
point of rebellion? And what is the point of outlawry?
(cid:147)Victory,(cid:148) to cite Yves Fremion again, (cid:147)comes in the form of the op-
pressors never feeling safe and secure and of tyrants living everywhere in a
state of fear.(cid:148)
Besides, although they are always reviled and crucified in life, rebels
and outlaws become cultural icons in death. Refusing to be slaves(cid:150)refus-
ing to toil and obey(cid:150)these men and women(cid:150)their short lives enriched by
vengeance and loot(cid:151)inspire our legends and shape our hopes.

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: (cid:147)he who
defends everything defends nothing.(cid:148)
4. RememberAleisterCrowley(cid:146)swarnings:yourfriendcandomoreharm
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
anescaperoute.Whensurrounded,evenarodentwillfightferociously.
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.

ACTION
Action is all-important. According to a Neo-Confucian maxim, (cid:147)To know
and not to act is not yet to know.(cid:148)
AFGHANISTAN
A harsh country populated by implacable warriors, Afghanistan has been
called the (cid:147)grave of empires.(cid:148)
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,
andinstalledapuppetgovernment.Thevictoryseemedcomplete,butsmall-
scale fighting continued.
In 1842 Kabul rose up, and the British promised to withdraw, under a
promise of safe passage.
Approximately 16,500 people(cid:150)British Empire soldiers and camp fol-
lowers(cid:150)leftthecity. Ruthlesslyharriedduringtheirretreat,onlyoneperson
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 (cid:147)guerrilla war of a thousand cuts(cid:148)
against the Soviet invaders, the Afghans ambushed convoys, mined roads,
anddestroyedbridgesandrailroads. Theystruckatnight,intherain,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(cid:146)s ammunition
and fuel.
AFLATOXIN
A lethal substance(cid:151)allegedly used by illicit secret police forces(cid:151)aflatoxin
is found in fungus-infested wheat and peanut crops.
