Learn the terrifying truth.

"The moral content of hatred depends on the object it is directed at and can therefore be valuable and sublime or petty and lowly... It must therefore be consciously used and strengthened as a drive for difficult operative tasks in conspiratorial work." - Hatred

The Stasi's Dictionary of Political-Operational Work brings to light the operating methods and organisational psychology of history's most notorious secret police agency. This chilling lexicon was first produced for operatives in 1970 and remains an important primary source for researchers of the Stasi and their activities. It exposes the strict and cruel psychology which motivated them, the focus of their day-to-day work, and the extreme lengths to which they would go to propagate a socialist cause. More than just a historical record, it serves as a timely warning in regard to how dangerous and delusional psychologies can be present in security agencies which operate outside the law.

"The goal of decomposition is the fragmentation, paralysis, disorganization, and isolation of hostile-negative forces... The political sensitivity of decomposition imposes high demands on maintaining conspiracy." - Operational Decomposition
