Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, An Introduction Programming Manual

Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, An Introduction Programming Manual (PDF) was uncovered quite by accident on July 7, 1986 when an employee of Boeing Aircraft Co. purchased a surplus IBM copier for scrap parts at a sale, and discovered inside details of a plan, hatched in the embryonic days of the “Cold War” which called for control of the masses through manipulation of industry, peoples’ pastimes, education and political leanings. It called for a quiet revolution, putting brother against brother, and diverting the public’s attention from what is really going on. This article makes reference to the document referenced and the written doctrine adopted by the Policy Committee of the Bilderburg Group during its first known meeting in 1954.

The forward of the document goes on to say the following:

Regarding the training manual, you may have detected that we had to block out the marginal notes made by the selectee at the C.I.A. Training Center, but I can assure you that the manual is authentic, and was printed for the purpose of introducing the selectee to the conspiracy. It has been authenticated by four different technical writers for Military Intelligence, one just recently retired who wants very much to have this manual distributed throughout the world, and one who is still employed as an Electronics Engineer by the Federal Government, and has access to the entire series of Training Manuals. One was stationed in Hawaii, and held the highest security clearance in the Naval Intelligence, and another who is now teaching at a university, and has been working with the Central Intelligence Agency for a number of years, and wants out before the axe falls on the conspirators.

We believed that the entire world should know about this plan, so we distributed internationally one-hundred of these manuscripts, to ask individuals at top level positions their opinions. The consensus opinion was to distribute this to as many people as who wanted it, to the end that they would not only understand that “War” had been declared against them, but would be able to properly identify the true enemy to Humanity.

Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars: An Overview

Operations Research Technical Manual TW-SW7905.1

Welcome Aboard

This publication marks the 25th anniversary of the Third World War, called the “Quiet War”, being conducted using subjective biological warfare, fought with “silent weapons”.

This book contains an introductory description of this war, its strategies, and its weaponry.

May 1979 #74-1120

Security

It is patently impossible to discuss social engineering or the automation of a society, i.e., the engineering of social automation systems (silent weapons) on a national or worldwide scale without implying extensive objectives of social control and destruction of human life, i.e., slavery and genocide.

This manual is in itself an analog declaration of intent. Such a writing must be secured from public scrutiny. Otherwise, it might be recognized as a technically formal declaration of domestic war. Furthermore, whenever any person or group of persons in a position of great power and without full knowledge and consent of the public, uses such knowledge and methodologies for economic conquest - it must be understood that a state of domestic warfare exists between said person or group of persons and the public.

The solution of today’s problems requires an approach which is ruthlessly candid, with no agonizing over religious, moral or cultural values.

You have qualified for this project because of your ability to look at human society with cold objectivity, and yet analyze and discuss your observations and conclusions with others of similar intellectual capacity without the loss of discretion or humility. Such virtues are exercised in your own best interest. Do not deviate from them.

Control Over Energy

The next sections of interest are the POLITICAL INTRODUCTION and the section on ENERGY. We can get a perspective on where this document is guiding the reader (implementer). Provide a political backdrop and show how control over “energy” is critical to control of the population.

Political Introduction

In 1954 it was well recognized by those in positions of authority that it was only a matter of time, only a few decades, before the general public would be able to grasp and upset the cradle of power, for the very elements of the new silent-weapon technology were as accessible for a public utopia as they were for providing a private utopia.

The issue of primary concern that of dominance, revolved around the subject of the energy sciences.

Energy

Energy is recognized as the key to all activity on earth. Natural science is the study of the sources and control of natural energy, and social science, theoretically expressed as economics, is the study of the sources and control of social energy. Both are bookkeeping systems: mathematics. Therefore, mathematics is the primary energy science. And the bookkeeper can be king if the public can be kept ignorant of the methodology of the bookkeeping.

All science is merely a means to an end. The means is knowledge. The end is control. Beyond this remains only one issue: Who will be the beneficiary?

In 1954 this was the issue of primary concern. Although the so-called “moral issues” were raised, in view of the law of natural selection [1] it was agreed that a nation or world of people who will not use their intelligence are no better than animals who do not have intelligence. Such people are beasts of burden and steaks on the table by choice and consent.

Consequently, in the interest of future world order, peace, and tranquility, it was decided to privately wage a quiet war against the American public with an ultimate objective of permanently shifting the natural and social energy (wealth) of the undisciplined and irresponsible many into the hands of the self-disciplined, responsible, and worthy few.

In order to implement this objective, it was necessary to create, secure, and apply new weapons which, as it turned out, were a class of weapons so subtle and sophisticated in their principle of operation and public appearance as to earn for themselves the name “silent weapons”.

In conclusion, the objective of economic research, as conducted by the magnates of capital (banking) and the industries of commodities (goods) and services, is the establishment of an economy which is totally predictable and manipulatable.

In order to achieve a totally predictable economy, the low-class elements of society must be brought under total control, i.e., must be housebroken, trained, and assigned a yoke and long-term social duties from a very early age, before they have an opportunity to question the propriety of the matter. In order to achieve such conformity, the lower-class family unit must be disintegrated by a process of increasing preoccupation of the parents and the establishment of government-operated day-care centers for the occupationally orphaned children.

The quality of education given to the lower class must be of the poorest sort, so that the moat of ignorance isolating the inferior class from the superior class is and remains incomprehensible to the inferior class. With such an initial handicap, even bright lower class individuals have little if any hope of extricating themselves from their assigned lot in life. This form of slavery is essential to maintain some measure of social order, peace, and tranquility for the ruling upper class.

Significant Process Detail

The report provides an exceptionally detailed reference to economic modeling using circuit blocks and industrial diagrams with a corresponding detail in mathematical equations that relate industrial “classes”: capital, goods, and services and further subdivides these industrial classes spanning nature, government, and banking, and ultimately into products and services that intersect with households and governments.

The underlying narrative seeks to make an argument for “control” of resources and ultimately control of people. The document says:

The problem with stabilizing the economic system is that there is too much demand on account of (1) too much greed and (2) too much population.

This creates excessive economic inductance which can only be balanced with economic capacitance (true resources or value - e.g., in goods or services).

The social welfare program is nothing more than an open-ended credit balance system which creates a false capital industry to give nonproductive people a roof over their heads and food in their stomachs. This can be useful, however, because the recipients become state property in return for the “gift,” a standing army for the elite. For he who pays the piper picks the tune.

Motivations

The next section focuses on the motivations to “control” the population since as the manual describes the general population has become a herd of proliferating barbarians and a blight upon the face of the earth. The audience for this “instruction” is presumed to be one who will remedy the problems of the earth and they ultimately present some protocols as part of the silent weapons inventory. But before we explore that, let’s consider this passage that presents the “problem” by those who presume to have an answer:

If the people really cared about their fellow man, they would control their appetites (greed, procreation, etc.) so that they would not have to operate on a credit or welfare social system which steals from the worker to satisfy the bum.

Since most of the general public will not exercise restraint, there are only two alternatives to reduce the economic inductance of the system.

  1. Let the populace bludgeon each other to death in war, which will only result in a total destruction of the living earth.

  2. Take control of the world by the use of economic “silent weapons” in a form of “quiet warfare” and reduce the economic inductance of the world to a safe level by a process of benevolent slavery and genocide.

The latter option has been taken as the obviously better option. At this point it should be crystal clear to the reader why absolute secrecy about the silent weapons is necessary.

The general public refuses to improve its own mentality and its faith in its fellow man. It has become a herd of proliferating barbarians, and, so to speak, a blight upon the face of the earth.

Keep the Plan Secret

The silent weapons manual and doctrine must be kept a secret from the general public since manipulating this population is the core objective:

It is left to those few who are truly willing to think and survive as the fittest to survive, to solve the problem for themselves as the few who really care. Otherwise, exposure of the silent weapon would destroy our only hope of preserving the seed of the future true humanity.


Table of Strategies

The manual provides a table of strategies with a corresponding objective and a method to obtain that objective. This table of strategies is referenced below:

Do this To get this
Keep the public ignorant Less public organization
Maintain access to control Required reaction to outputs (prices, sales)
Create preoccupation Lower defenses
Attack the family unit Control of the education of the young
Give less cash and more credit and More self-indulgence and more data
doles
Attack the privacy of the church Destroy faith in this sort of government
Social conformity Computer programming simplicity
Minimize the tax protest Maximum economic data, minimum enforcement problems
Stabilize the consent Simplicity coefficients
Tighten control of variables Simpler computer input data – greater predictability
Establish boundary conditions Problem simplicity / solutions of differential and
difference equations
Proper timing Less data shift and blurring
Maximize control Minimum resistance to control
Collapse of currency Destroy the faith of the American people in each other.

Diversion Summary

  • Media: Keep the adult public attention diverted away from the real social issues, and captivated by matters of no real importance.
  • Schools: Keep the young public ignorant of real mathematics, real economics, real law, and real history.
  • Entertainment: Keep the public entertainment below a sixth-grade level.
  • Work: Keep the public busy, busy, busy, with no time to think; back on the farm with the other animals.

LOGISTICS

The successful application of a strategy requires a careful study of inputs, outputs, the strategy connecting the inputs and the outputs, and the available energy sources to fuel the strategy. This study is called logistics.

A logistical problem is studied at the elementary level first, and then levels of greater complexity are studied as a synthesis of elementary factors.

This means that a given system is analyzed, i.e., broken down into its subsystems, and these in turn are analyzed, until by this process, one arrives at the logistical “atom,” the individual.

In 2003, Paranoia magazine asked readers for any information on the author of SWFQW. Paranoia received a letter mailed from a federal prison, written by “Hartford Van Dyke” who claims to be the author of the document.

That claim about the SWFQW book being found in the copy machine was made in an 8-1/2 by 11 inch news release/advertisement published in November 1986 by the America’s Promise Newsletter (APN) of Phoenix, Arizona, and in their publication of SWFQW, of which you have either a copy or some derivative writing.

If you have a copy of the original APN news release/advertisement, then you would know that William Cooper’s 1991 publication was not the first SWFQW publishing event. The original America’s Promise Newsletter of November 1986 stated that the said copy machine was purchased at auction from the McChord Air Force Base (located near Fort Lewis) in Washington State.

Cooper might have read SWFQW in a “Naval Intelligence Majority Twelve File.” Delamar Duverus of the American Sunbeam made a similar claim. And families of the upper class and their organizations did make contributions to the Leontief economics project.

You state that you have had an undated SWFQW pamphlet in your collection since approximately 1993. Yet your article quotes the end of the SWFQW section entitled Welcome Aboard, as May 1979.

Also #74-1120 is an anagram of the date of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, 41-12-07.The forerunner of SWFQW, complete with sources, equations, my signature, and my address, was published on or about 74-12-07. My book on the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was published at the end of August 1973.

You state that, “The economic analysis implicated in Silent Weapons could only have been made by someone with an advanced understanding of complex socio-economic systems.” Sir Isaac Newton said that he was able to see far ahead because he “stood on the shoulders of giants,” The best parts of SWFQW were from the economic giants of our time. That is one of the reasons why SWFQW has a lasting value.

SWFQW is a collage, an overlay and paste-up of the works and words of many authors. I was the author only in the sense that I compiled and linked the gems of other writers. The book is not a hoax. Wassily W. Leontief proved the content of SWFQW by his article in the September 1980 issue of Scientific American, entitled The World Economy in the Year 2000. Leontief was the father of the Silent Weapons System, and was awarded the 1973 Nobel Prize in Economics long after his creation (1948) became recognized by the elite to be a weapon (1965).

Years passing do not change the invariant truths of science, not even of economic science. The elite were never fully named in SWFQW. It was not necessary to name them specifically. They are always among us, and they always will be among us.

SWFQW was a study in human nature; of motivation, psychological impulse and momentum, and force of habit; of control of social energy by influence, suggestion, and hypnosis; of the use of sociopathic processes to induce paranoid behavior; and so on. That is enough description of the theme and conceptual content of SWFQW.

The entire letter can be read here. The author also goes into detail about the influences that led him to write SWFQW.

Hartford Van Dyke also claims to be the author of other works such as The Skeleton in Uncle Sam’s Closet (1973) and How to Create Currencies for Local Communities (2002). His works can be read on his website.

Personally, I do not believe that SWFQW is a genuine document. It see it as a less antisemitic version of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, adjusted to the second half of the 20th century. But I do believe that it adequately describes the inner workings of the global power structure.

Hartford Van Dyke Claims

Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars did not have a “preface,” so it did not make what would have been a “bizarre claim” to have been “found in a surplus IBM copy machine in 1986 by a Boeing Aircraft employee…” That claim about the SWFQW book being found in the copy machine was made in an 8-1/2 by 11 inch news release/advertisement published in November 1986 by the America’s Promise Newsletter (APN) of Phoenix, Arizona, and in their publication of SWFQW, of which you have either a copy or some derivative writing. [Ed. This is what we have.]

If you have a copy of the original APN news release/advertisement, then you would know that William Cooper’s 1991 publication was not the first SWFQW publishing event. The original America’s Promise Newsletter of November 1986 stated that the said copy machine was purchased at auction from the McChord Air Force Base (located near Fort Lewis) in Washington State.


Cooper might have read SWFQW in a “Naval Intelligence Majority Twelve File.” Delamar Duverus of the American Sunbeam made a similar claim. And families of the upper class and their organizations did make contributions to the Leontief economics project, (e.g., Rockefeller (1948) - SWFQW, page 5).

Also #74-1120 is an anagram of the date of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, 41-12-07.The forerunner of SWFQW, complete with sources, equations, my signature, and my address, was published on or about 74-12-07. My book on the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was published at the end of August 1973.


One of the people who helped me do the final publication work on SWFQW became concerned about the book becoming disinformation and asked me to reveal my authorship of the work in 1996, which I did by announcing it on a radio talk show. Otherwise, it would still be an anonymous work.


Four years later, in 1978, I was able to obtain enough funding to research, compile, write, and publish the book SWFQW. The SWFQW project ran from about October 1978 to December 1979, approximately one year’s work. The subject is war, so the book is about the sociopathic attitude of those who promote war, and have contempt for the common man. The basic premise of the book is contained under the subheading ENERGY (page 7).


The work on SWFQW began about October 1978 and was published in December 1979. Initially, about 65 copies of the book were sent out to various people and organizations. I do not know what happened to most of the copies, but I can fairly well account for one of them, which was given out by hand in early 1980. It was given to a military person, who was late for duty (or was going to be late), at McChord AFB in the state of Washington. He was hitchhiking through Vancouver on I-5 in uniform. Even though I was traveling in my own locality, I drove him to McChord (a two hour trip each way). On the way, I told him about the book SWFQW, and when he stepped out of the car to go onto the base I handed him a copy. I did not make any further general effort to publicize SWFQW until after 1986. **I did give out copies to local (where?) friends between 1979 and 1986. **


In November 1986, the America’s Promise Newsletter (APN) ran an advertisement for SWFQW. It claimed that a Boeing Aircraft employee bought a surplus copy machine at auction from McChord AFB and inside it he found a copy of SWFQW. It was very probably the copy that I gave to the hitchhiker. The Boeing employee passed the book along to the APN of Phoenix, AZ. From that time on SWFQW got the attention it deserved. It was a wake-up call to America, and perhaps even the world, if we can believe Leontief’s Scientific American (Sept. 1980) article, “The World Economy in the Year 2000”, wherein he says that by the year 1973, the year he received the Nobel Prize in Economics, sixty nations were already using his system to analyze their economies.

I am very grateful to William Cooper and APN for giving Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars to the world.


Hartford Van Dyke Timeline


Jack Mohr

The first reference I could find to SWFQW was from October 1985 from the website of Lt. Col. Gordon (Jack) Mohr. This means that Jack Mohr and Delmar Duverus (American Sunbeam) may have been the first to release the document publicly. Jack also makes no mention of an IBM printer and includes the following:

I have just finished reading one of the most frightening books I have ever read. It was frightening, not because of its plot; not because of its suspense, but because it is a true story of what is happening right here in these United States. It is a story of what is being prepared for you, from authentic sources.

This story was first written as a “Top Secret” Operations Research Technical Manual, TM-SW7905.1, titled SILENT WEAPONS FOR QUIET WARS - (An introductory programming manual.) I understand this is only one of a series of training manuals which was written for Government Agents in May of 1979. The other Manuals will. be forthcoming.

Because of its technical contents, it will be difficult for the layman to understand. I am only going to give you excerpts from the Manual. You can order the complete manual from THE AMERICAN SUNBEAM, Duverus Building, Seligman, Missouri 65745. The price is $4.00 for a paper bound copy. You should have this in your library and most certainly should share it with your concerned friends. The other, apathetic, brainwashed one’s will probably think you have “lost your mind” and should be sent to some mental institution. I can assure you that such is not the case. Already, Americans are far down the path towards one-world totalitarian control. It is explained in this manual.

This will be a reproduction only of the more obvious parts; the one’s you need to know about in order to protect yourself and your family from those who would enslave you. Your skeptical friends may want to believe this manual is a hoax. I wish it were. I can assure you it is the genuine thing. It has been authenticated by four different technical writers for Military Intelligence. One has just retired; one is still employed as an Electronics Engineer by the Federal Government and has access to this entire series of Training Manuals. One is in Hawaii and has the highest security in Naval Intelligence and another is now teaching at a university and has worked with Central Intelligence for a number of years.

The manuscript was delivered to the editorial offices of THE AMERICAN SUNBEAM by an unknown person. The document was not stolen, and it was not obtained by any dishonest method. The National Security of the United States will not be effected by the facts I will discuss and which will be detailed in the Manual itself.

Just as the Editors of THE AMERICAN SUNBEAM felt morally bound to reveal the contents of this Manual, so I feel morally bound to give you a resume of the Manual and urge you to get it from the Duverus Publishing Company.

This Manual needs to be distributed to concerned Americans by the hundreds of thousands, so that they will understand more concerning the “war which has been declared against them.” They will need to properly identify this enemy, separate themselves from it and allow God to have His way in destroying it, without destroying His people in the process.

My appreciation goes to Delamer Duverus, the Editor of THE AMERICAN SUNBEAM, for giving me permission to print this pamphlet and for the courageous manner in which he has stood up against our enemy.

[…]

For Christ, the truth, and a free America,

Jack Mohr,

October, 1985


Delmar Duverus (The American Sunbeam)

Edward Aloysius Roberts, known as Bab, purchased the paper (American Sunbeam). Roberts claimed he was the voice for a deity or entity he called Delamer Duverus. The focus of the newspaper greatly changed at this point. It no longer covered local news, but instead published extreme anti-Semitic and conspiracy theories

Publication of the then-named American Sunbeam ended in 1986 with the death of Roberts aged 76.

This is what Delamer Duverus (Roberts) said about SWFQW:

This manuscript was delivered to our offices by an unknown person. We did not steal the document, nor are we involved with any theft from the United States Government, and we did not get the document by way of any dishonest methods. We feel that we are not endangering the “National Security” by reproducing this document, quite the contrary; it has been authenticated and we feel that we are not only within our rights to publish it, but morally bound to do so.

Regarding the training manual, you may have detected that we had to block out the marginal notes made by the selectee at the C.I.A. Training Center, but I can assure you that the manual is authentic, and was printed for the purpose of introducing the selectee to the conspiracy. It has been authenticated by four different technical writers for Military Intelligence, one just recently retired who wants very much to have this manual distributed throughout the world, and one who is still employed as an Electronics Engineer by the Federal Government, and has access to the entire series of Training Manuals. One was stationed in Hawaii, and held the highest security clearance in the Naval Intelligence, and another who is now teaching at a university, and has been working with the Central Intelligence Agency for a number of years, and wants out before the axe falls on the conspirators.

We believed that the entire world should know about this plan, so we distributed internationally one-hundred of these manuscripts, to ask individuals at top level positions their opinions. The consensus opinion was to distribute this to as many people as who wanted it, to the end that they would not only understand that “War” had been declared against them, but would be able to properly identify the true enemy to Humanity.

The Lawful Path

The Lawful Path’s online version of the text provides the following introduction:

The following document is taken from two sources.

The first, was acquired on a website (of which I can’t remember the address) listing as its source the book titled Behold A Pale Horse by William Cooper; Light Technology Publishing, 1991.

The second source is a crudely copied booklet which does not contain a copyright notice, or a publishers name. With the exception of the Forward, the Preface, the main thing that was missing from the first source was the illustrations.

As we began comparing the two, we realized that the illustrations, and the accompanying text (also missing from the first) made up a significant part of the document. This has now been restored by The Lawful Path, and so far as I know, is the only internet copy available complete with the illustrations.

We have no first-hand knowledge that this document is genuine, however many of the concepts contained herein are certainly reasonable, important, and bear strong consideration.


Analysis and Timeline

If Jack Mohr’s signed date is accurate, that would mean that Delamer Duverus was the first to circulate the document as early as October 1985 (and likely sooner).

You can order the complete manual from THE AMERICAN SUNBEAM, Duverus Building, Seligman, Missouri 65745. The price is $4.00 for a paper bound copy.

October 1985

According to Bill Cooper in Behold a Pale Horse, July 7th, 1986 was the date that the copy was found in the IBM copier. Interestingly enough, a quote from Delmar Duverus is found in the very first pages of the book.

Bill Cooper evidently failed to procure the full version of the document with illustrations which was already likely being circulated by Delmar Duverus based on the following quote:

Regarding the training manual, you may have detected that we had to block out the marginal notes made by the selectee at the C.I.A. Training Center, but I can assure you that the manual is authentic, and was printed for the purpose of introducing the selectee to the conspiracy.

Question: Where did this illustration-free document come from?

The title sheet in the original document also includes a news clip from Emissary Publications (9205 E Clakamas Road, Clackamas, Oregon 97015) published at date sometime after 1986 stating the following:

R-110 SILENT WEAPONS FOR QUIET WARS: TOP SECRET
This astonishing document was discovered in a surplus copier purchased from Boeing Aircraft in 1986. Reveals details of a plan, hatched in the embryonic days of the Cold War, which called for the control of the masses through manipulation of industry, people’s pastimes, education, and political leanings. It called for a quiet revolution, pitting brother against brother, and diverting the public’s attention from what is really going on.

For all intents and purposes, this document as “come to pass.”

Reprinted in its original form. Includes diagrams.

Question: Who’s hand written notes are on the last page?

Question: Who’s making notes in this original document?

Would Hartford Van Dyke annotate and write notes to himself for every piece of SWFQW intended for public distribution? Since we know this marked up version of the document predated the copier version, these notes cannot be from this alleged solider that Hartford Van Dyke allegedly gave a copy to. Furthermore, wide spread distribution was already happening as of October 1985 to the subscribers of the American Sunbeam. It wasn’t until November 1986 that America’s Promise Newsletter (APN) ran the first advertisement for SWFQW mentioning an IBM copier.

I’m not convinced the document is real, nor am I convinced that it’s a forgery or even authored by Hartford Van Dyke. The story about giving the doument to a soldier hitchhiking seems to me too far fetched considering the details that were already publicly known. Not only that, but half the alleged confession looks like an advertisement for Hartford Van Dyke’s Pearl Harbor book. Writing from prison, it seemed to me like a desperate man trying to sell his book. I looked a few of his other writings and I’m not sure they quite match the level of SWFQW.

After my deep drive, I’m left with more questions than answers.
