The following was the contents of a page on the now-defunct website of the National Revolutionary Faction (which had the web address http://www.nationalbolshevik.com/nrf/nrfindex.html): ADVICE FOR CADRES ENGAGED IN SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITY THE NRF uses Cadre activists to infiltrate political groups, institutions and services. It is part of our strategy to do this work and, if we are to have any success in the future it is work that must be done on an increasing basis. In Issue #5 of The Crusader, we covered basic infiltration techniques and some of the requirements demanded of individuals engaged in this work. Here we elaborate on the conduct of individuals who are already active or are preparing to be active in this field. ANONYMITY The basic requirement for successful infiltration is anonymity. Indeed, for long-term entryism anonymity is vital. Spending a great deal of time, effort and resources placing individuals within target groups/areas only to have their cover blown three or four months down the line, is not our idea of a successful operation. GATHERING INFORMATION It is possible in certain cases when the operation is only short-term, i.e. when we are infiltrating the hard Left for the sole purpose of gathering information on their activists (names, home addresses, telephone numbers, contacts, associates, etc.) to use Cadres who have a political history, but one which is not sufficiently well-known to the target group for it to become a problem. Indeed, continuing experience shows that two or three months inside a hard Left group is more than enough time to gather significant intelligence information on enemy activists. The vast cross-over that exists between many on the groups on the Left only serves to make the task easier. In other words, join one Left-wing group and you can gather information on most of the others too. Their security is a joke; their confidence makes them negligent, they are easy prey. SPECIAL TYPE However, the real task of infiltrating organisations and institutions with the intention of using them for our own ends must be viewed with longevity. Such a tactic requires a special type of individual, and consequently a new method of recruiting. Given the range of targets we want to attack, it is essential that we operate in a sophisticated manner and the groundwork for this strategy must be laid now. FUNDAMENTAL POINT Without doubt the best way to recruit individuals to any insurgency movement is by WORD OF MOUTH. This is a fundamental point which has not been lost on paramilitaries active in Ulster. Members of Active Service Units do not write off to box addresses and ask to become involved, they are recruited by word of mouth directly from the community. This is something that we must strive to do ourselves. In many instances we are already doing it. When someone initially contacts us from a particular area, it is often the case that such an individual has a friend or group of friends who are also willing to become involved. Around every individual there is a circle of friends and acquaintances, some of whom can be persuaded to take up the fight. In many cases these people have never written to any Nationalist group, have never had contact with other Nationalists and are totally unknown to the political police and the 'anti-Nationalist' coterie. These people are 'clean' and can be used for any task. OVERT ACTIVISTS Individuals recruited in this manner must then strive to preserve their anonymity. For some this will be difficult. Nationalists like to distinguish themselves from the crowd and let people know that they are fighting the System. For street-fighters and overt activists this is not a problem: indeed, we also need people who want to be visible and are not afraid of the glare of publicity, but here we are concerning ourselves with covert subversive activity and it is a simple fact that if covert' operatives consort with known Nationalists, sooner or later their cover will be blown. DIRECTION In order to provide a brief guide, individuals involved in entryism or any other covert task will almost always be under the direction of a Cadre who is also on the Revolutionary Command Council (RCC). The RCC Cadre will arrange all meetings at which the relevant points can be discussed. These meetings will always be on a one-to-one basis. The code of conduct requires that covert operatives must: (a) disassociate themselves from the Movement. They must never write to any Nationalist address for information, literature or guidance. They must never pay any money by cheque or credit card into any Nationalist bank account. they midst never ring any Nationalist contactline. All these avenues are constantly monitored by the State to gather information. If individuals require Nationalist literature, their RCC Cadre will obtain it on his or her behalf. He will also collect their Movement dues (in cash) and advise on any difficulties. The RCC Cadre will be the covert operative's only contact with the Movement. (b) disassociate themselves from other known Nationalists. No Nationalist public meetings, no Nationalist gigs, no overt activity (stickering, postering, leafletting etc.), no street fights with the Enemy. Any activity that can lead to arrest and prosecution, get you photographed or bring you to the attention of 'anti-Nationalists' must be avoided. (c) refrain from singling themselves out as Nationalists through the way they dress. Over the years, many active Nationalists seem to have adopted a distinctive style of dress: flight jackets, boots, etc. For overt Nationalists this is not a problem, but those involved in other areas cannot afford to draw attention to themselves in this manner. Our advice is to dress like any other member of the public: casual jeans, jackets and sportswear. No Nationalist badges, no t-shirts and no boots. GUERILLA WAR This advice is designed to make you think. it is meant to make life easier for covert operatives and make it more difficult for the police, the Zionists and the Reds. We are fighting a political guerilla war and we must use the correct tactics. At all times act like a Revolutionary. Use your head: make an effort to blend in: DON'T SINGLE YOURSELF OUT AND DON'T LET THE ENEMY KNOW WHO YOU ARE. With such a trained elite we can cause more damage and bring this Movement far more success than years of street fights and street campaigns. We will have access to positions in society which have, thus far, been barred from us. As a result, we will be able to target the Enemy when we want and where we want. We will be able to do it silently and without fuss. This is a war, let's fight it like we mean business.
