Leaderless resistance - Wikipedia The concept was revived and popularized in an essay published by the [My note: supposedly] anti-government Ku Klux Klan member Louis Beam in 1983 and again in 1992. Ulius L. Amoss [My note: aka Colonel Ulius/Julius “Pete” Louis Amoss/Amos; OSS/CIA] After the war Amoss set up an export business, Gramtrade International Corporation, of which he was president from 1936 to 1942. In 1942, the government took over the business when Amoss was ordered to report to the army. While in the Armed Forces, Amoss served as Director of the Balkan Desk for Information, and Deputy Chief of Staff, U.S. Ninth Air Force. Amoss then joined the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). According to a recently declassified document, while Colonel Amoss was chief of station in Cairo, Egypt, he "recruited, trained and launched numerous teams of assassins that carried out hits on various targets all over North Africa, Southern Europe, Switzerland, Spain and Portugal." General William Donovan officially fired Amoss but in reality he was kept on the OSS payroll in an undercover capacity. After the war he worked for Frank Wisner at the Central Intelligence Agency (Office of Policy Coordination). In 1948 Amoss established the International Services of Information (INFORM). This was a CIA "commercial cover" operation. In 1961 Amoss recruited Robert Emmett Johnson. According to a CIA document: "At this time he (Johnson) was already in close touch with the various independent Cuban Exile anti-Communist groups in Miami and elsewhere." Ulius Louis Amoss died on 9th February, 1961. [My note: Date conflict with the publiceye.org source below.] Although that bio-page does not attribute the Leaderless Resistance concept to Col. Amoss/Amos at all, it oddly continues with this: More on Col. Julius Amos at Combe, Inc. -- The Grecian Formula 16 Connection: Lieutenant Colonel Robert K. Brown - NRA Lieutenant Colonel Robert K. Brown - Wikipedia Soldier of Fortune (magazine) - Wikipedia The Roots of the Leaderless Resistance Concept: The Amoss Version - 1953 & 1962 Amoss was an operative in the WWII Office of Strategic Services (OSS). After the war Amoss established a research center International Services of Information (INFORM).and a newsletter INFORM to fight communism. Unlike Louis Beam, Amoss had no connection to organized White Supremacist groups and had no interest in overthrowing the United States government. On the contrary, Amoss was frustrated that the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies were using outdated methods to build resistance against communism in Eastern Europe. ...Amoss urged U.S. intelligence policy be shifted from an old-fashioned hierarchical model such as that used in WWII with resistance organizations, and refocused on encouraging “Leaderless Resistance to destabilize and subvert Soviet occupation of Eastern European countries such as Poland, the example he cites in detail in his essay. Amoss warned that traditional hierarchical underground cells organized by the CIA in Eastern Europe were being penetrated and liquidated by Soviet and Eastern Bloc counterintelligence operations In 1961 leaflets were airdropped over Cuba by anti-Castro Cuban exiles and their allies with close ties to the Central Intelligence Agency. The leaflets used the concept of Leaderless Resistance and called for the creation of “Phantom Cells” (Celulas Fantasmas). There was no apparent connection between Amoss and the leaflets, according to Michael Paulding, who is writing a book on an early OSS figure and has studied Amoss and his work. Amoss died in November 1961, a few months after the failed CIA-orchestrated Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba [My note: in April 1961]. Amoss’s Leaderless Resistance essay is republished posthumously in 1962 in the INFORM newsletter, having been rewritten from the 1953 original by a freelancer, according to Paulding. Also issued after the 1962 version is a 4-page flyer credited to Amoss, with 3 July 1953 at the end, and the notation after Amoss’s name “Reprinted from INFORM, Issue No. 6205, 17 April 1962. The Amoss essay is said by some authors to have been republished in a 1963 Paladin Press edition of the revolutionary instruction manual 150 Questions for a Guerrilla by Alberto Bayo Giroud. No such edition has been located to date by PRA, and repeated attempts to contact Paladin Press for confirmation have been ignored. The publisher is related to Soldier of Fortune magazine, which is popular in the Patriot and White Supremacist movements, in which Louis Beam was circulating. One edition of the Bayo booklet did contain photographs and text supporting the training of anti-Castro guerrillas. Poster Comment: This is the background of the Leaderless Resistance concept up until the Louis Beam [probable planted poser] Phase. More on that next.The concept of leaderless resistance was reportedly developed by Col. Ulius Louis Amoss, a former U.S. intelligence officer, in the early 1960s. An anti-communist, Amoss saw leaderless resistance as a backup for the possibility of a communist seizure of power in the United States.
Ulius Louis Amoss was born in 1895. During the First World War he worked for the International Committee of the YMCA in Greece.
In February 1992, Louis Beam issued in his quarterly publication, The Seditionist, an appeal for a concept called "leaderless resistance," described as an alternative to the "leadership" structure in "underground" groups. In this alternative, activity is autonomous, organized around ideology rather than leaders. It is explained as a system for keeping secret the plans of terrorist assaults against the Government, known only to a few individuals in small leaderless cells in order to prevent leaks or infiltration. According to Beam, this idea was based on an article published by [My note: founder/publisher of Soldier of Fortune magazine] Robert K. Brown (USAR/CounterIntelligence Corps) in 1961. [In his essay on Leaderless Resistance, Beam cites a publication date of 1962 -- a posthumous reprint/rewrite by a freelancer in the Amos newsletter, INFORM.]
The man behind the Combe name was Ivan DeBlois Combe ... [Combe's] next major product actually came looking for him, a hair dye called Grecian Formula 16. The man who discovered it was Colonel Julius Amos, an agent for the predecessor to the CIA who operated in Greece during World War II. Suffering from a dandruff problem, he visited a Greek barber who sold him a clear liquid to apply daily to his scalp. About two weeks later, Amos realized that not only had his dandruff been cured, his hair had turned from gray to its original brown. Amos lined up American partners to form a company called World Wide Rights, which then acquired the product from the Greek barber. Grecian Formula 16, as it was called, struggled to find adequate distribution as a women's product, prompting World Wide Rights to find someone who could do a better job of marketing it. The search led to the door of Ivan Combe, who recognized the potential of Grecian Formula 16. Rather than buy the product, however, he entered into a licensing deal in 1961. By focusing his marketing efforts on male customers, who appreciated the gradual reintroduction of coloring to their hair, Combe was able to grow Grecian Formula 16 to a successful product and one that was years ahead of the market. [My note: The month is uncertain but Col. Amos reportedly died the same year as that licensing deal.]
...Special Forces Team Leader (Viet Nam)... founder/publisher of Soldier of Fortune magazine ... NRA Board of Directors
a combat correspondent, investigative journalist, and founder/editor/publisher of Soldier of Fortune magazine (SOF), a pro-gun, pro-military magazine which reports on various armed confrontations around the world, as well as on new weapons and other military technology. Brown is also president of Omega Group Ltd, which is the parent group of SOF. ... Brown served in the US Army from 1954-1957 and again from 1964-1985. He retired from the US Army as a lieutenant colonel. At one point, Brown was the Vice Chairman of the NRA.
Soldier of Fortune magazine was founded in 1975, by Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Army Reserve, (Ret.) Robert K. Brown, a Green Beret who served with Special Forces in Vietnam. After retiring from active duty, Brown began publishing a “circular” few-page-magazine with information on mercenary employment in Oman, where the Sultan Qaboos had recently deposed his father, and was battling a communist insurgency. Brown's small circular soon evolved into a glossy, large-format, four color magazine. Significant to the early development of SOF magazine was its unprecedented, successful recruitment of foreign nationals to serve in the Rhodesian Security Forces, during the Rhodesian Bush War (1964–79). During the late 1970s and the 1980s, the success and popularity of a military magazine such as SOF led to the proliferation of like magazines such as Survive, Gung Ho!, New Breed, Eagle, Combat Illustrated, Special Weapons and Tactics, and Combat Ready.
The concept of Leaderless Resistance was developed by Ulius “Pete” Louis Amoss in 1953 to encourage resistance to Soviet repression in Eastern Europe.

Unable to correct extra indentation error at that text-line and thereafter. Sorry if confusing. Disregard. ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col. Puller, USMC
Lots of interesting tidbits there - thanks.

You're welcome. I have to wonder if an unintended consequence of the Leaderless Resistance tactics developed by Col. Amoss/Amos to destabilize the Soviets in Eastern Europe was that the Berlin Wall started being built on August 13, 1961. Does seem to have had something to do with the Bay of Pigs on April 17, 1961. Busy year with the Commies. Not sure if he died (or maybe went into deep cover) before or after those 1961 happenings but I suppose he meant well. Can't say the same for Louis Beam (or the Louis Beam character) who appropriated his concept. Edited sentence 2 + to add: I think it's important to keep in mind that the alleged 1962 publication cited by Beam as a writing by Col. Amoss/Amos was possibly an altered freelance-version of his 1953 publication on the Leaderless Resistance topic. ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col. Puller, USMC
It seems that the whateverISTs are simply the ziobanksters' controlled opposition to eternally foment wars and other type conflicts for their profit.

Louis Beam - Wikipedia Don't know why Beam -- profiled as a notorious anti-government, etc. extremist villain with just his Military period noted as commendable -- is said to be the first important proponent of the strategy of leaderless resistance instead of its significant Intel-agent originator (the Anti-Communist, Pro-Government Col. Amoss/Amos) but that's weird. Seems like importance is assessed there as usefulness to agendas of the SPLC/Southern Poverty Law Center, the ADL/Anti- Defamation League, Police State designers and such. The Roots of the Leaderless Resistance Concept: The Beam Versions 1983 & 1992 Beam cannot recall when or where he first saw the Amoss essay, and complains that his files were seized by the FBI so it is impossible for him to check his records. [interview] Beam published the newsletters the Inter-Klan Newsletter & Survival Alert and the Seditionist. It was in the the Inter-Klan Newsletter & Survival Alert that Beam proposed an international computer network linking White supremacists in 1984. Although Beam is often credited with launching the first online race hate communications system, it was Dietz whose system went online first, in early 1984, and perhaps as early as late 1983. Read it Here!. Beam played a role in the development of the armed citizens militia movement in the early 1990s, but did not develop the concept of Leaderless Resistance for the Militias, a movement that overlapped with the organized White Supremacist movement, but according to most scholars, was distinct and independent from it. 1983 [My note: Newsletter Page Pic of Beam's 1983 "Leaderless Resistance" essay] Louis Beam, "Leaderless Resistance," Inter-Klan Newsletter & Survival Alert, undated, circa May 1983, pages not numbered. On file at Political Research Associates. [My note: 1992 Page Pic of The Seditionist with headline: The Death of Anti-Communism] Beam republished his version of Leaderless Resistance in 1992 in the Seditionist. Louis Beam, "Leaderless Resistance," The Seditionist, 12 (February 1992); pp. 12-13. The 1983 pic above from Beam's first "Leaderless Resistance" essay-publication shows the date of April 17, 1962 as his incorrect reference for when Col. Amoss first wrote of the strategy. Amoss first printed it in 1953 and is said to have died in 1961 (either in February or November of that year). The date-reference is probably for the posthumous reprinting at his INFORM Newsletter. The notable thing about the cited date of April 17, though, is that it is the month and day of the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion and the Leaderless Resistance concept by Amoss was reportedly used in the airdropped leaflets for the orchestration of that failed Op. Might have been reissued in "rememberance" of it. A line in Beam's 1992 essay-version says: "Communism now represents a threat to no one in the United States,". That was published the year [before] Leftist Clinton went to the White House and at a time (soon after the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989) when many probably thought USSR Communism would no longer be as much of a threat here, but Beam's "naive" proclamation about it is very wrong and I think Col. Amoss might have objected to his "harmless" spin as if no guards against that were needed even with Chinese Communists -- which didn't go well for America over in Los Alamos, for example. At Post #200 of another 4um thread are excerpts on more about Louis Beam and the PATCON/"Patriot Conspiracy" infiltration/investigation to stigmatize Patriots, Evangelical Christians and others -- especially the Constitution's inclusion of State Militias in America's structural framework. PATCON also veered into the Iran-Contra murk but it reportedly began with an assassination of a Jewish talk-radio host named Alan Berg in 1984. This is a 7-page article on the PATCON topic referenced at that Post, which also mentions Ruby Ridge, Waco, and OKC: Looks like his job was to justify the launching of the PATCON missions and then go home. More Sovietization of Berlin and Cuba was the apparent result of the Col. Amoss experiment in Leaderless Resistance. That's been the Commie Totalitarianism result here in America, too, under the marketing of Louis Beam, as well as the stigmatization of Patriots, et al., disunity and ineffectiveness. Random acts of lone wolf "caped crusaderism" are not what was decidedly the best method to counter government corruption in Egypt. My view is that Leaderless Resistance has been pushed in America as another way to disempower and scatter us so that the subverters of our Constitutional Republic can continue undeterred with their demolishments here. Americans should be standing with more unity for effecting our rightful form of government, not less with Beam's interpretive snare. Edited 2nd Pic info and spacing + bracketed insert at line 2 of the paragraph above the link for Post #200. ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col. Puller, USMC
Backup -- not a substitute that negates the necessity for unity to counter such usurpation. This is a short video that discusses PATCON, the Gulf of Tonkin deception and more in terms of human expendability for the War aims and power preservation of the so-called "Noble Lie" strategists: Reference: Post #200 linked at #7 above | 6.5 minute video linked at Post #200: Oklahoma City Bombing Secrets - PATCON and the Strategy of Tensions | other videos listed there, as well Ruby Ridge was a PATCON operation. Waco was a PATCON operation. And so, too, I believe was the Oklahoma City Bombing. After watching these news broadcast excerpts, it is very difficult to come to any other conclusion, but that McVeigh's 'truck bomb' was little more than a decoy for an FBI-run false-flag terror operation [My note: by criminal elements within] - for which they were already poised in nearby hotels to emerge as the 'heroes'.

Louis Beam is a White supremacist and former Ku Klux Klan leader tied to neonazi and race hate organizing in the United States. Beam is often credited with the development of the concept of Leaderless Resistance, but in both vesions of the essay he published in 1983 and again in 1992, he clearly stated that the concpt was originated by Amoss. Beam, however, dates the Amoss essay as being published in 1962, when its first appearance was in 1953.
