Kill Without Joy
The object of this study is to instruct the reader in the techniques of taking another human life, up close, and doing it well. You may well find this booklet offensive, repulsive, brutal, and vicious. It is meant to be. It is completely contemptuous of human life and my only admonition to the would–be assassin is: KILL WITHOUT JOY.
No attempt is made to differentiate between the moral good or bad and the complexities of the motives of the reader are not delved into. This book will merely show you how to kill.
The victim (i.e.. the subject) can be said also to benefit because he is dispatched with as little pain as possible and his suffering and misery need not be great.
This work will not teach you how to torture or brutally abuse another human being. It will not advocate the individual destruction of anyone in particular. In most cases it will not advise how to approach or dispose of the subject.
My only premise is there are times when one must attack with complete ruthlessness and fight with lethal fury. This fury and ruthlessness must be harnessed and directed to do the gravest possible damage – to kill.
The professional killer be he a soldier or a cold warrior (i.e. government directed assassin) has a duty to kill on command, his country’s enemies, who, for whatever reason, cannot be permitted to go on living. Special Forces have assassination squads that are employed in guerrilla and counter–insurgency operations. It is in the hope of making these people more effective that this booklet is written.
To kill at close range, five to ten feet or at arm’s length and closer, requires the deftness of a surgeon and the ferocity of a rabid animal. One must have complete confidence in one’s ability to kill, and this means he must know the human body – one must practice what amounts to black medicine and do the exact opposite of what a doctor might do to save life.
Most of the methods in this work are for urban situations which impose different restrictions on the choice of weapons that a soldier might have in the field. The assassin will often be forced to kill in the open, in a park, on the street, in an alley, or room, or any one of a dozen other places where the risks of being discovered and captured are greatest.
In most cases he will have only one chance and he must be sure he knows when, where and how to kill.
