Alternative Tips for Avoiding a U.S. Drone Strike
Hiding from the U.S. government and media need not involve smearing one’s self with mud.
Al-Qaeda operatives: forget about that list of 22 crude anti-drone tactics discovered in an abandoned building in Mali. If those tactics had been genuinely useful, why did al-Qaeda leave there?
Granted, rubbing a mixture of mud and sugar on yourself and your vehicles could make you partially invisible to the next drone – but wouldn’t the wiser tactic be to become completely invisible to the entire U.S. government and mass media altogether?
All it takes is learning a few useful facts about the American political establishment: these 22 alternative tips will help you avoid detection, generally by encouraging Washington to either pretend you don’t even exist or to alter your public image until you become unrecognizable – even to yourself.

If you can’t find it, join the church Obama frequents.

Get a federal “green energy” loan, then declare bankruptcy. The U.S. government will cover for you.

“Hi, I’m Jon Huntsman.”
Pretend you’re a salad; the first lady won’t spot you.
