Stratagem 33: Use Adversary’s Spies to Sow Discord in Your Adversary’s Camp or Turn the Enemy’s Agents Against Him

Identification

Provide inaccurate information to mislead your opponent’s supporters, especially through informal channels.

Example

A classic move. Make the crew mutiny to instate yourself as captain. And don’t confine his “agents'' to lawyers, bankers or secretaries. Not only can you rattle your opponent by sabotaging his external support, but also his internal support. Gaslight!    

Solution

Fascists use censorship to control information channels.
