10 -- Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11 -- Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.

22 -- Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

29 -- Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30 -- Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

40 -- Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41 -- Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42 -- Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43 -- Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44 -- Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45 -- Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

Rules for Power Tactics:

01 -- Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
02 -- Never go outside the experience of your people.
03 -- Whenever possible, go outside of the experience of the enemy.
04 -- Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.
05 -- Ridicule is man's most potent weapon.
06 -- A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.
07 -- A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.
08 -- Keep the pressure on with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.
09 -- The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
10 -- The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.
11 -- If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside.
12 -- The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
13 -- Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

Rules to test whether power tactics are ethical:

01 -- One's concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one's personal interest in the issue.
02 -- The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.
03 -- In war the end justifies almost any means.
04 -- Judgment must be made in the context of the times in which the action occurred and not from any other chronological vantage point.
05 -- Concern with ethics increases with the number of means available and vice versa.
06 -- The less important the end to be desired, the more one can afford to engage in ethical evaluations of means.
07 -- Generally, success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics.
08 -- The morality of means depends upon whether the means is being employed at a time of imminent defeat or imminent victory.
09 -- Any effective means is automatically judged by the opposition to be unethical.
10 -- You do what you can with what you have and clothe it in moral garments.
11 -- Goals must be phrased in general terms like "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," "Of the Common Welfare," "Pursuit of Happiness," or "Bread and Peace." {Stealing the word "Freedom" when they actually offer slavery and oppression}
