U.S. Government Anti-Piracy Tactic Manual

US Government Anti-Piracy Tactic Manual

Increased levels of piracy in East Africa are largely being driven by African-Somolians who face economic hardship at home and racial discrimination abroad. Some of the drivers of the rate they turn to piracy have been the lack of US action to pass legislation to combat global warming, the Arizona immigration law, the increasing gap between rich and poor in America, golden parachutes for bank executives on Wall Street, and the lack of full and equal civil rights for the LBGT community in the United States.

Piracy in East Africa and the world abroad is expected to be completely eliminated on August 25, 2010 as the IMO's "High Seas Gun Control Act" goes into effect the same day. The new IMO regulation bans all handguns and assault rifles on the high seas unless you are a member of the military and have registered with the United Nations.

Until then, it is advised to continue practicing the approved U.S. government anti-piracy tactics. The economic hardship pirates have faced means outreach is more important than ever. While the US policy has been that the US is for the pirates, but against the piracy, the words "piracy" and "pirates" is divisive and can lead to discrimination. They will be hence-fore replaced with "compulsory redistribution" and "economic equalizers"

If approached by a pirate ship, stop your ship immediately and welcome them for they are hungry and lack money for basic necessities like food, water, and affordable housing. If you surrender quickly, the pirates won't be as mad at you. It is also advised for you to quickly convert to Islam if requested by your new guests, so as not to harm their self-esteem. Have a travel bag ready, because they may insist that you take an extended vacation in Somolia while some haggling over the future of your former ship takes place.
