Among the media which may be used, as the immediate situation dictates, are: freedom stations or radio false (unreadable) broadcasts or leaflets may be directed toward specific geographic or occupational areas, or they may be general in scope.

Parmi les moyens qui peuvent être utilisés, selon ce que dicte la situation immédiate, on trouve : des stations de liberté ou des émissions radio fausses (illisibles) ou des tracts peuvent être dirigés vers des zones géographiques ou professionnelles spécifiques, ou ils peuvent être de portée générale.

Bad news travels fast, and simple sabotage will be discouraged if too many simple saboteurs are arrested.

Les mauvaises nouvelles se répandent vite, et le sabotage simple sera découragé si trop de saboteurs ordinaires sont arrêtés.

A knife or a nail file can be carried normally on your person; either is a multi-purpose instrument for creating damage.

Des allumettes, des cailloux, des cheveux, du sel, des clous et des dizaines d'autres agents destructeurs peuvent être portés sur soi ou conservés dans vos quartiers sans éveiller le moindre soupçon.
