Protocols of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of
Zion
Original Victor E. Marsden translation
Notes
Table of Contents
First of all, before we
even start looking at some nasty details, listen to this carefully:
What you have in your
hands with these protocols is something, you better listen for as many times as
it takes for you to learn every minute detail of it, every single idea, and
every single point.
Do not take sides while
listening to it. Just find some place where you are not disturbed, close your
eyes, put everything aside, and forget about all you know.
And then listen. And if
you do not understand something, listen again, and again, and again.
Until you see every bit of
it, and you will, eventually.
Because what you see here
is a masterpiece, nothing less, no matter how you cut it, the master piece the
likes of which you have never seen before, the deepest secret, held for ages in
the depths of the secret society of global magnitude.
The more you listen, the
more you will be able to see what rules your life. Why are people so vicious
against each other?
Why do they lick asses and suck dicks?
Just to survive, just to survive?
Why do they behave like animals?
Submitting to their superiors
as though those were the life giving messengers of nothing less than God?
Why do they paint their faces, just to follow some stupid fashion of idiocy?
Why do they shake their asses, just to be like all others,
Why do they make fools of themselves,
as though life was nothing more than some grand comedy, or even parody?
Why do people do what they do Just to be like all others?
For what? And then what?
Why do they lick asses and suck dicks?
Just to survive, just to survive?
Why do they behave like animals?
Submitting to their superiors
as though those were the life giving messengers of nothing less than God?
Why do they paint their faces, just to follow some stupid fashion of idiocy?
Why do they shake their asses, just to be like all others,
Why do they make fools of themselves,
as though life was nothing more than some grand comedy, or even parody?
Why do people do what they do Just to be like all others?
For what? And then what?
Why do politicians lie
their dirty mouths off all day long?
Why do they sell their balls just to be in power? For what?
Why do they prostitute themselves?
What do they expect to achieve at the end?
Hell? Just like we see all around?
What an achievement!
You can hardy find something as idiotic as to crave for power, control, prestige and so called authority just for the sake of it, while deep inside, not caring for anything but themselves, just like these protocols state. Such a waste of life and ones own potential it is. What an exercise in futility!

What an achievement!

Such a waste of life and ones own potential it is. What an exercise in futility!
Why do they say:
"I am just making money",
as though they were nothing more than the money making machines?
Why do you see all this evil all around?
"I am just making money",
as though they were nothing more than the money making machines?
Why do you see all this evil all around?
Just look and see.
Without judgement, one way
or the other. Without condemnation or approval.
Just see.
Because, that is what will
make you free at the end, free of all the zombie programming, done to your
mind, morning to night, every single day of your life, since the cradle.
You will finally see how
the world really works, how it is ruled, who is it owned by, and how your mind
is controlled, every moment of your life.
And that is freedom.
Freedom to know your own
limitations, freedom of seeing those blocks, that forever seem to prevent you
from living a fulfilling life, because you seem to bump with your head against
the unending avalanche of all sorts of difficulties, you seem to be
experiencing all your life.
Because you really do not
understand how it all really works.
And so you run in circles
of frustration, and limitations that only exist in your own mind, that will
inevitably result in misery, and unfulfilled life.
Now...
We are not going to bother
with this so called forgery charge, peddled in all the desperate attempts to
somehow minimise the significance of these protocols. That is totally
unproductive.
What does it matter,
forgery or not, if it exactly corresponds with reality as you can see it with
your own eyes?
Do you think you live in a
real world? Or is it nothing more than the world of fiction? What is real? Do
you know? Who is real? Which words? Which book? Which knowledge? Which system
of belief?
Would you consider
something, that was said by someone, who you know to be intelligent?
Or would you dismiss what
they have to say on the basis that it is some kind of "forgery"?
The entire human knowledge
and history, and all the acts of creation in art, literature, and even science,
is nothing but "forgery".
Because it, as of
necessity, borrows some things from the past. Otherwise, life would come to a
grinding halt, if you had to reinvent the wheel every time.
And that is what in
essence the protocols are.
All the desperate attempts
to call it some "forgery" are not only idiotic, but futile.
The Truth can not be
stopped. Once the word is spoken, it is like a bird, that flew away from your
hands. You won't catch it again.
Just in passing, about
this "forgery" charge:
Would you consider
Shul-han Arookh or Tanya a forgery?
Because it is, according
to this argument, forever peddled against the protocols. Because these
"new" laws are simply reiterations of the old laws, described in
Talmud, only adapted to times.
Let us consider just a few
major points...
1. State is Supreme
Basically, the most
important thing in these protocols is the State. State therefore is Supreme.
Supreme authority, supreme power, supreme significance, supreme wealth, supreme
dictatorship.
The individual, no matter
who he is, be it even the king himself is secondary.
The individual life and
all its manifestations is to submit himself totally and unconditionally to the
power of the State.
All his individual
desires, interests, concerns and creative impulses are of no significance of
any kind.
If he deviates from the
norm, he is to be punished be it utter brutality or even a death sentence.
Life as such has no
meaning in this scheme.
The only meaning there is
is the meaning and significance of a super-state.
If someone comes up with
some idea of something new or some criticism of any of it, he is to be reminded
of his relative significance in the scheme of things, and if he persists, the
punishment is unavoidable, and there exists no limit to its severity.
2. Why learned elders?
Well, it is one of the
most fundamental beliefs of Judaists, that Judaism is the only "religion"
of rational. All other religions are irrational, and thus, are nothing more
than idol worshipping as they classify it.
The central belief of
Judaists is the supreme value and significance of the mind.
It is all about the mind.
Therefore, the prime and
supreme requirement is learning, and training ones mind with all the power of
all those mountains of knowledge of the "elders".
Conceptually, there is no
such a thing as heart in their so called religion.
There is also no concept
of intuition, which is a prime driving force behind all creation.
There is only a so called
reason, which is considered to be the supreme guiding factor.
In that respect, it is
interesting to note that it says in their scriptures:
Rabbi argues with God, and
God eventually concedes.
This is something beyond
comprehension.
Because a rabbi is
considered to be superior even to nothing less than God itself.
This clearly explains the
mind orientation of not only these protocols, but the entire Judaism as a
system, a system of thought and argument that is.
It is completely dry and
dead, as we shall see. Because it does not allow anything but the mind, and
mind is just one aspect of existence, but there are other aspects, such as
love, feeling, intuition, spontaneity, playfulness.
Where is in this so called
religion, religion of hate and arrogance of superiority, which is nothing more
than a byproduct of an inferiority complex?
There is no such a thing
as compassion, there is no such a thing as love, there is no such a thing as feeling,
there is no such a thing as innocent giggle of a child, playing on the street,
utterly unconcerned with all this so called rational stuff.
Because he has to be
brought under total control. He has to submit his innocence to so called
reason. He has to totally suppress his spontaneity, and replace it with so
called reason, the reason imposed by a dictator, in the form of learned elders
of Zion.
You are not even allowed
to think independently, going to the point of obscene. Even to empty your
bowels, you need to ask that omni-potent rabbi of what is the right way to do
it.
A rabbi was asked: can I
piss on the roof of a synagogue?
Rabbi thought for a
moment, and then said - yes, but not on the roof, but from the roof.
One man was building a
shack, and so he came to a rabbi and asked him, which side of the door should I
make my window on?
Can you imagine that kind
of idiocy?
And that is what Talmud
and these so called scriptures are full of, up to their ears. Utter disgust,
utter idiocy, utter inconsistency. It is not clear there is a single point they
argree upon.
What is this? Religion? Or
mind washing procedure?
And these are the
"god's chosen people", full of all sorts of garbage knowledge, up to
their ears? Then where is their intelligence? Why can't to just about anything
without asking some rabbi about the "right" way of doing it?
Why do you have this
library size Talmud, where one rabbi argues the other about the same thing,
saying things that are diametrically opposite?
Not only that, but there
are several versions of Talmud, and since they do not reconcile with each
other, they created new scriptures, trying to merge the old scriptures and
somehow try to fit it all together, such as Tanya of Chabad Lubavitch sect.
And it still does not fit.
No matter how you cut it, it does not reconcile. Contradictions everywhere.
Irreconcilable contradictions. Contradictions within itself.
And they claim that rabbi
can even win an argument with God itself?
Well, in that case, all of
it is nothing but idiocy of degenerates, totally unable to think independently,
and not surprising at all. Just look at these very protocols. What do they tell
you but ordering to be a slave and submit to any kind of garbage they feed you?
No wonder you have the
highest number of schizophrenics among Jews. Because, in their very scriptures,
they are told to intermarry, and never marry anyone outside their sect, which
inevitably produces degenerates. Nature does not tolerate narrowing of a
genetic pool. Nature is about diversifying, about creating new features, which
has been shown to stimulate genius. It is a well known fact that among geniuses
the highest percentage are those, that are a mix of different nationalities.
And that is the bottom
line of it all.
3. A limitation of the infinite, forever unfolding intelligence
As you shall see in these
protocols, everything is subdued and brought under total control.
There is no such a thing
as freedom, according to these protocols. All the freedom is subject to the
Law. One is free to do only those things, that are allowed by the so called
law.
But - who - has created
these laws? God? - all knowing? omni-potent? and omni-scient?
Or some mortal, just like
any other, with his own mind, conditioned by others, called "elders"?
Then what is the value of
his life?
Are these laws absolute?
Do they include any other permutations of the Infinite Intelligence, forever
unfolding, and never fitting the old, the known?
What is creativity then?
Just following the same old footsteps, walking on the same ancient path, doing
the same stupid things the others did, boring as it gets?
What is a spontaneous
expressions of a dance, or a poem, or a paining?
Should it also be checked
if it fits some stupid book, written by the Talmudists and so called elders?
4. Diversity
One of the prime aspects
of the Infinite, forever expanding Intelligence is diversity.
Diversity of nations,
languages, cultures, traditions, shades of color of the skin.
In that diversity, all
possible manifestations of intelligence are allowed expression, complementing
each other and adding to each other, forever expanding the scope of what is
life.
This is the very meaning
of it all.
Any attempts to constrict
that diversity are fatal, and so futile.
When you have an absolute
rule, ruling a single nation, with a single set of so called laws, regardless
of how "perfect" they might be presented as, what you end up with is
degeneracy and decay. Inevitably so.
Finally, you will end up
with society thinking along the same boring lines, forever doing the same
stupid things, and forever agreeing with the same ideas that the others have,
because they are the only ideas that are "allowed".
And thus their symbol of a
symbolic snake, biting its own tail, which is the same thing as dog, chasing
his own tail. Forever.
The same as a wheel of
karma in Indian thought.
Eventually, the whole
thing simply does not make any sense, and life as such, looses all its meaning.
At the end, what you end
up with, is biorobots and zombies programmed with the same limited ideology of
fascist dictate, imposed with the sword and fire upon all...
The whole life looses all
its meaning, all its beauty, and all its impetus to be.
Why be? What for?
What is the meaning of
life, if the only thing you are allowed to do is to be just like others? What
is it for? Is it just a grand exercise in futility?
What is the essence of
their so called happiness? What is it about?
About stuffing your
bellies with food? And chasing the so called fashion? That your mind is
programmed to consider as ultimate in your prestige at some show of funky
chickens? Isn't it what most of you do, following some fashion and the opinion
of the herd, just as they tell you on that zombie box called TV?
Why are you doing all that
idiotic stuff?
Just because the others
do? Just as programmed?
Because stuffing your
bellies with food is just about the only thing left for you to do, besides
multiplying like a bacteria, devouring all, and destroying all and everything
that does not align with your zombie program as preached by the so called
elders, which is what Judaism is in essence.
What else do you see in it
besides beating your head against the wall?
The religion of a belly,
the religion of material, and that is why they invented this so called
"dialectic materialism", and delivered all that sick and deadly
ideology of the dry mind via their so called prophet Karl Marx.
And, not surprisingly,
they have created such a bloodbath during the Russian revolution, that is
unparallelled in the entire human history. Between 30 to 70 million people have
been slaughtered by these thugs of Trotsky and Beria kind. Even the World War 2
genocide simply pales in comparison. And no one even heard about the biggest
genocide in the entire human history, the genocide in Russia by ZioNazis. How
come?
Because it is a logical
conclusion of this whole ideology of a concentration camp of a self-imposed
ghettos, which is the early model of this so called one world government and
this so called New World Order, which is nothing more than a global ghetto, a
single super-state, ruled by a single government, and via a single hand of so
called supreme ruler.
In other words, the
sickest and most futile model of hell broken loose, and we are beginning to see
its final stages.
5. Who could possibly write these protocols?
Two people, Rothschild and
Asher Ginsberg known by his Hebrew name Ahad Haam.
No one else could possibly
speak with such authority, confidence and understanding of money and power of
Gold and its perverse influence on the machinery of the world.
One interesting point: It
says in the protocols that one can not possibly become the ruler, unless he was
trained all his life for this job, trained by those, who pass this
"sacred" knowledge from generation to generation. Just like the
Rothschild family tree.
That is why these
protocols speak with such eloquence on the matters of economics, finances and
money.
The only one, who could
possibly speak with full confidence and all the necessary knowledge of the slavery
of money, giving the ultimate power over the world to the biggest and baddest
bankers, is Rothschild. There simply exists no one who could possibly speak
with such confidence and authority about nothing less than enslaving the entire
world via money and gold. Who else could that possibly be? Any idea?
All others are just
blabberers, talking heads, and wannabes of all kinds, talking their heads off,
while the air moves freely inside their sculls, without understanding a single
thing they are talking about, just like these protocols state in no uncertain
terms.
Who could possibly speak
of enslavement of mankind, and with such a confidence, but those, who own the
vast majority of the world's gold supplies?
And so, listen to these
protocols, Then listen again. And see.
Do they, by any chance,
remind you of everything you see around you, down to the last dot and comma?
Where do you think the
events in the world come from? Just some accidental thing? Just some
coincidence?
And what you will find,
and inevitably so, that every single thing you see in the world, all these
bloody and utterly senseless wars, all this paranoia about so called terrorism,
all these empty speeches about so called freedom and democracy, and the rest of
it, every single bit of it was already described in the protocols, and with
such an appalling clarity, that it simply boggles ones mind.
If there is anything that
is real in this world, than this is these protocols, and for THOUSANDS of
years, since the beginning of times.
It is all just the same
plan, cherished in the minds of Pharisees, just like we know of 2000 years ago,
and well before that time.
One thing is certain, you
have never seen anything like this in your entire life and you never have
imagined anything like this possible even in principle...
And that is the bottom
line of it all...
6. Secrecy
This is one of the most
mind blowing aspects of Judaism. Secrecy.
Have you ever heard of any
religion that operates like some clandestine operation, in utter secrecy?
Their scriptures are
secret, and the penalty for disclosing is nothing short of death!
Their so called elders are
secret.
So called Goyim, or
non-Jews, are not to see their so called sacred scriptures.
Why?
Is it some kind of Mafia?
Gang of some sort? Or is it religion?
Religion of what?
Satanism, by any chance?
Why would anyone who is
not corrupt or has the worst of intents, keep even the sacred things, like
religion, secret?
Not only that, but it is
even secret from Jews. Some versions of Talmud are not available even to plain,
ordinary rabbis. Why?
Unless it is about evil,
most profound, which it actually is. And there is so much evidence of it all
over, libraries could be filled with it.
Is it related to this
supremacy idea, by any chance?
7. Supremacy
This is another one of
those interesting things about this so called religion. Supremacy.
You see, they claim to be
the God's chosen people, unlike all others, which is actually written in their
scriptures.
All non-Jews are
considered to be even worse than dogs. Nothing more than fices, and in the
literal sense of the word. Non-Jews are considered to be nothing more than
brainless idiots, the sheer purpose of which is to serve the Jews, and the only
reason they are in human form, is not to disgust the Jews, whom they are to
serve, with their dirty look if they were animals in a literal sense.
How do you like that for
breakfast?
So... Are these protocols
real?
Nah, they are unreal. How
could anyone in his clear mind even begin to imagine to concoct such an
appalling document as this one?
Is it real?
How could this be, unless
we are dealing with people with mental and psychic problems?
Protocol Number 1:
Protocol 1 - The Basic Doctrine
1.
Putting aside fine phrases
we shall speak of the significance of each thought: by comparisons and
deductions we shall throw light upon surrounding facts.
2.
What I am about to set
forth then, is our system from the two points of view, that of ourselves and
that of the goyim [i.e., non- Jews].
3.
It must be noted that men
with bad instincts are more in number than the good, and therefore, the best
results in governing them are attained by violence and terrorisation, and not
by academic discussions.
Every man aims at power,
everyone would like to become a dictator if only he could, and rare indeed are
the men who would not be willing to sacrifice the welfare of all for the sake
of securing their own welfare.
Law is might
4.
What has restrained the
beasts of prey who are called men?
What has served for their
guidance hitherto?
5.
In the beginnings of the
structure of society, they were subjected to brutal and blind force; after
words - to Law, which is the same force, only disguised.
I draw the conclusion that
by the law of nature, right lies in force.
6.
Freedom is an idea. Liberalism
Political freedom is an
idea but not a fact
This idea one must know
how to apply whenever it appears necessary with this bait of an idea to attract
the masses of the people to one's party for the purpose of crushing another who
is in authority.
This task is rendered
easier if the opponent has himself been infected with the idea of freedom,
so-called liberalism, and, for the sake of an idea, is willing to yield some of
his power.
It is precisely here that
the triumph of our theory appears; the slackened reins of government are
immediately, by the law of life, caught up and gathered together by a new hand,
because the blind might of
the nation cannot for one single day exist without guidance, and the new
authority merely fits into the place of the old already weakened by liberalism.
Gold. Faith. Self-Governance
7.
In our day the power which
has replaced that of the rulers who were liberal, is the power of Gold.
Time was when Faith ruled.
The idea of freedom is
impossible of realization because no one knows how to use it with moderation.
It is enough to hand over
a people to self-government for a certain length of time for that people to be
turned into a disorganized mob.
From that moment on we get
internecine strife which soon develops into battles between classes, in the
midst of which States burn down and their importance is reduced to that of a
heap of ashes.
The despotism of Capital
8.
Whether a State exhausts
itself in its own convulsions, whether its internal discord brings it under the
power of external foes - in any case it can be accounted irretrievable, lost:
It is in our power.
The despotism of Capital,
which is entirely in our hands, reaches out to it a straw, that the State,
willy-nilly, must take hold of:
if not - it goes to the
bottom.
9.
Inner enemy
Should anyone of a liberal
mind say that such reflections as the above are immoral, I would put the
following questions:
If every State has two
foes and if in regard to the external foe it is allowed and not considered
immoral to use every manner and art of conflict, as for example to keep the
enemy in ignorance of plans of attack and defense, to attack him by night or in
superior numbers, then in what way can the same means in regard to a worse foe,
the destroyer of the structure of society and the commonwealth, be called
immoral and not permissible?
Crowd. Anarchy
10.
Is it possible for any
sound logical mind to hope with any success to guide crowds by the aid of
reasonable counsels and arguments, when any objection or contradiction,
senseless though it may be, can be made and when such objection may find more
favor with the people, whose powers of reasoning are superficial?
Men in masses and the men
of the masses, being guided solely by petty passions, paltry beliefs,
traditions and sentimental theorems, fall a prey to party dissension, which
hinders any kind of agreement even on the basis of a perfectly reasonable
argument.
Every resolution of a
crowd depends upon a chance or packed majority, which, in its ignorance of
political secrets, puts forth some ridiculous resolution that lays in the
administration a seed of anarchy.
Politics and morality
11.
The political has nothing
in common with the moral.
The ruler who is governed
by the moral is not a skilled politician, and is therefore unstable on his
throne.
He who wishes to rule must
have recourse both to cunning and to make-believe.
Great national qualities,
like frankness and honesty, are vices in politics, for they bring down rulers
from their thrones more effectively and more certainly than the most powerful
enemy.
Such qualities must be the
attributes of the kingdoms of the goyim, but we must in no wise be guided by
them.
Right lies in force
12.
Our right lies in force.
The word "right" is an abstract thought and proved by nothing.
The word means no more
than: Give me what I want in order that thereby I may have a proof that I am
stronger than you.
13.
Where does right begin?
Where does it end?
14.
In any State in which
there is a bad organization of authority, an impersonality of laws and of the
rulers who have lost their personality amid the flood of rights ever
multiplying out of liberalism, I find a new right - to attack by the right of
the strong, and to scatter to the winds all existing forces of order and
regulation, to reconstruct all institutions and to become the sovereign lord of
those who have left to us the rights of their power by laying them down
voluntarily in their liberalism.
Invisible power
15.
Our power in the present tottering
condition of all forms of power will be more invincible than any other, because
it will remain invisible until the moment when it has gained such strength that
no cunning can any longer undermine it.
The result justifies the means
16.
Out of the temporary evil
we are now compelled to commit will emerge the good of an unshakable rule,
which will restore the regular course of the machinery of the national life,
brought to naught by liberalism.
The result justifies the
means.
Let us however, in our
plans, direct our attention not so much to what is good and moral as to what is
necessary and useful.
17.
Before us is a plan in
which is laid down strategically the line from which we cannot deviate without
running the risk of seeing the labor of many centuries brought to naught.
Mob is blind
18.
In order to elaborate
satisfactory forms of action it is necessary to have regard to the rascality,
the slackness, the instability of the mob, its lack of capacity to understand
and respect the conditions of its own life, or its own welfare.
It must be understood that
the might of a mob is blind, senseless and un-reasoning force ever at the mercy
of a suggestion from any side.
The blind cannot lead the
blind without bringing them into the abyss; consequently, members of the mob,
upstarts from the people even though they should be as a genius for wisdom, yet
having no understanding of the political, cannot come forward as leaders of the
mob without bringing the whole nation to ruin.
Political alphabet
19.
Only one trained from
childhood for independent rule can have understanding of the words that can be
made up of the political alphabet.
Party dissensions
20.
A people left to itself,
i.e., to upstarts from its midst, brings itself to ruin by party dissensions
excited by the pursuit of power and honors and the disorders arising therefrom.
Is it possible for the
masses of the people calmly and without petty jealousies to form judgment, to
deal with the affairs of the country, which cannot be mixed up with personal
interest?
Can they defend themselves
from an external foe?
It is unthinkable; for a
plan broken up into as many parts as there are heads in the mob, loses all
homogeneity, and thereby becomes unintelligible and impossible of execution.
We Are Despots
21.
It is only with a despotic
ruler that plans can be elaborated extensively and clearly in such a way as to
distribute the whole properly among the several parts of the machinery of the
State:
from this the conclusion
is inevitable that a satisfactory form of government for any country is one
that concentrates in the hands of one responsible person.
[Note: this translation
does not correctly represent the meaning in the original Russian version. That
version uses Monarch and not a despotic ruler. These do not have the
same meaning as they have in Russian. Monarch, or Tsar, in Russian
understanding is a father, serving
his people as God sent representative of Divine on Earth, with sincerity, love
and care towards his own people, and dedication to defend the motherland and
protect his people.
He in no way a despot or dictator of some kind. This is PROFOUNDLY
incorrect.
This is one of the most
significant and fundamental contributions of the Russian approach to statehood,
and it is that very power that is capable of saving the mankind as we stand
right now.
But the following passage
indeed talks about absolute despotism
in the original Russian version. So the translation precisely represents the
original meaning.]
Without an absolute
DESPOTISM there can be no existence for civilization which is carried on not by
the masses but by their guide, whosoever that person may be.
The mob is savage, and displays its savagery at every
opportunity.
The moment the mob seizes
freedom in its hands it quickly turns to anarchy, which in itself, is the
highest degree of savagery.
Alcohol. Classicism. Prostitution
22.
Behold the alcoholic
animals, bemused with drink, the right to an immoderate use of which comes
along with freedom.
It is not for us and ours
to walk that road.
The peoples of the goyim
are bemused with alcoholic liquors; their youth has grown stupid on classicism
and from early immorality, into which it has been inducted by our special
agents - by tutors, lackeys, governesses in the houses of the wealthy, by
clerks and others, by our women in the places of dissipation frequented by the
goyim.
In the number of these
last I count also the so-called "society ladies," voluntary followers
of the others in corruption and luxury.
Our password is Force and hypocrisy
23.
Our countersign is - Force
and Make-believe.
Only force conquers in
political affairs, especially if it be concealed in the talents essential to
statesmen.
Violence must be the
principle, and cunning and make-believe the rule for governments which do not
want to lay down their crowns at the feet of agents of some new power.
This evil is the one and
only means to attain the end, the good.
Therefore we must not stop
at bribery, deceit and treachery when they should serve towards the attainment
of our end.
In politics one must know
how to seize the property of others without hesitation if by it we secure
submission and sovereignty.
Terror
24.
Our State, marching along
the path of peaceful conquest, has the right to replace the horrors of war by
less noticeable and more satisfactory sentences of death, necessary to maintain
the terror which tends to produce blind submission.
Just but merciless
severity is the greatest factor of strength in the State: not only for the sake
of gain but also in the name of duty, for the sake of victory, we must keep to
the programme of violence and make-believe.
The doctrine of squaring
accounts is precisely as strong as the means of which it makes use.
Therefore it is not so
much by the means themselves as by the doctrine of severity that we shall
triumph and bring all governments into subjection to our super-government.
It is enough for them to
know that we are too merciless for all disobedience to cease.
Liberty, Equality, Fraternity
25.
Far back in ancient times
we were the first to cry among the masses of the people the words
"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,"
words many times repeated
since these days by stupid poll-parrots who, from all sides around, flew down
upon these baits and with them carried away the well-being of the world, true
freedom of the individual, formerly so well guarded against the pressure of the
mob.
The would-be wise men of
the goyim, the intellectuals, could not make anything out of the uttered words
in their abstractedness; did not see that in nature there is no equality,
cannot be freedom: that Nature herself has established inequality of minds, of
characters, and capacities, just as immutably as she has established
subordination to her laws:
never stopped to think
that the mob is a blind thing, that upstarts elected from among it to bear
rule, are, in regard to the political, the same blind men as the mob itself,
that the adept, though he be a fool, can yet rule, whereas the non-adept, even
if he were a genius, understands nothing in the political - to all those things
the goyim paid no regard;
Dynastic rule principle
yet all the time it was
based upon these things that dynastic rule rested:
the father passed on to
the son a knowledge of the course of political affairs in such wise that none
should know it but members of the dynasty and none could betray it to the
governed.
As time went on, the
meaning of the dynastic transference of the true position of affairs in the
political was lost, and this aided the success of our cause.
Destruction of privileges and aristocracy of Goyim
26.
In all corners of the
earth the words "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," brought to our
ranks, thanks to our blind agents, whole legions, who bore our banners with
enthusiasm.
And all the time these
words were canker-worms at work boring into the well-being of the goyim,
putting an end everywhere to peace, quiet, solidarity and destroying all the
foundations of the goy States.
As you will see later,
this helped us to our triumph: it gave us the possibility, among other things,
of getting into our hands the master card - the destruction of the privileges,
or in other words of the very existence of the aristocracy of the goyim, that
class which was the only defense peoples and countries had against us.
New aristocracy
On the ruins of the
eternal and genealogical aristocracy of the goyim we have set up the
aristocracy of our educated class headed by the aristocracy of money.
The qualifications for
this aristocracy we have established in wealth, which is dependent upon us, and
in knowledge, for which our learned elders provide the motive force.
The most sensitive chords of the human mind
27.
Our triumph has been
rendered easier by the fact that in our relations with the men, whom we wanted,
we have always worked upon the most sensitive chords of the human mind, upon
the cash account, upon the cupidity, upon the insatiability for material needs
of man; and each one of these human weaknesses, taken alone, is sufficient to
paralyze initiative, for it hands over the will of men to the disposition of
him who has bought their activities.
The abstraction of freedom
28.
The abstraction of freedom
has enabled us to persuade the mob in all countries that their government is
nothing but the steward of the people who are the owners of the country, and
that the steward may be replaced like a worn-out glove.
Replacing the representatives of the people
29.
It is this possibility of
replacing the representatives of the people which has placed at our disposal,
and, as it were, given us the power of appointment.
Protocol 2 - Economic Wars
1.
It is indispensable for
our purpose that wars, so far as possible, should not result in territorial
gains:
war will thus be brought
on to the economic ground, where the nations will not fail to perceive in the
assistance we give the strength of our predominance, and this state of things
will put both sides at the mercy of our international agentur; which possesses
millions of eyes ever on the watch and unhampered by any limitations
whatsoever.
Our international rights will then wipe out national rights
Our international rights
will then wipe out national rights, in the proper sense of right, and will rule
the nations precisely as the civil law of States rules the relations of their
subjects among themselves.
Puppet government - pawns in our game
2.
The administrators, whom
we shall choose from among the public, with
strict regard to their capacities for servile obedience, will not be
persons trained in the arts of government, and will therefore, easily become
pawns in our game in the hands of men of learning, and genius, who will be
their advisers, specialists, bred and reared from early childhood to rule the
affairs of the whole world.
As is well known to you,
these specialists of ours have been drawing to fit them for rule the
information they need from our political plans from the lessons of history,
from observations made of the events of every moment as it passes.
The goyim are not guided
by practical use of unprejudiced historical observation, but by theoretical
routine without any critical regard for consequent results.
We need not therefore,
take any account of them - let them amuse themselves until the hour strikes, or
live on hopes of new forms of enterprising pastime, or on the memories of all
they have enjoyed.
For them let that play the
principal part which we have persuaded them to accept as the dictates of
science (theory).
It is with this object in
view that we are constantly, by means of our press, arousing a blind confidence
in these theories.
The intellectuals of the
goyim will puff themselves up with their knowledges and without any logical verification of them, will put into effect all
the information, available from science, which our agentur specialists have
cunningly pieced together for the purpose of educating their minds in the
direction we want.
Success of destructive Education
3.
Do not suppose for a
moment that these statements are empty words: think carefully of the successes
we arranged for Darwinism, Marxism,
Nietzsche-ism.
To us Jews, at any rate,
it should be plain to see what a disintegrating importance these directives
have had upon the minds of the goyim.
4.
It is indispensable for us
to take account of the thoughts, characters, tendencies of the nations in order
to avoid making slips in the political and in the direction of administrative
affairs.
The triumph of our system
of which the component parts of the machinery may be variously disposed
according to the temperament of the peoples met on our way, will fail of
success if the practical application of it be not based upon a summing up of
the lessons of the past in the light of the present.
Through the Press we have gained the power to influence
5.
In the hands of the States
of to-day there is a great force that creates the movement of thought in the
people, and that is the Press.
The part played by the
Press is to keep pointing our requirements supposed to be indispensable, to
give voice to the complaints of the people, to express and to create
discontent.
It is in the Press that
the triumph of freedom of speech finds its incarnation.
But the goyim States have
not known how to make use of this force; and it has fallen into our hands.
Through the Press we have
gained the power to influence while remaining ourselves in the shade;
Gold, sacrifice and oceans of blood and tears
thanks to the Press we
have got the gold in our hands, notwithstanding that we have had to gather it
out of the oceans of blood and tears.
But it has paid us, though
we have sacrificed many of our people.
Each victim on our side is
worth in the sight of God a thousand goyim.
Protocol 3 - Methods of Conquest
1.
To-day I may tell you that
our goal is now only a few steps off.
There remains a small
space to cross and the whole long path we have trodden is ready now to close
its cycle of the Symbolic Snake, by which we symbolize our people.
When this ring closes, all
the States of Europe will be locked in its coil as in a powerful vice.
2.
The constitution scales of
these days will shortly break down, for we have established them with a certain
lack of accurate balance in order that they may oscillate incessantly until
they wear through the pivot on which they turn.
The goyim are under the
impression that they have welded them sufficiently strong and they have all
along kept on expecting that the scales would come into equilibrium.
But the pivots - the kings
on their thrones - are hemmed in by their representatives, who play the fool,
distraught with their own uncontrolled and irresponsible power.
This power they owe to the
terror which has been breathed into the palaces.
As they have no means of
getting at their people, into their very midst, the kings on their thrones are
no longer able to come to terms with them and so strengthen themselves against
seekers after power.
We have made a gulf
between the far-seeing Sovereign Power and the blind force of the people so
that both have lost all meaning, for like the blind man and his stick, both are
powerless apart.
3.
In order to incite seekers
after power to a misuse of power we have set all forces in opposition one to
another, breaking up their liberal tendencies towards independence.
To this end we have
stirred up every form of enterprise, we have armed all parties, we have set up
authority as a target for every ambition.
Of States we have made
gladiatorial arenas where a lot of confused issues contend
.... A little more, and
disorders and bankruptcy will be universal ....
4.
Babblers, inexhaustible,
have turned into oratorical contests the sittings of Parliament and
Administrative Boards.
Bold journalists and
unscrupulous pamphleteers daily fall upon executive officials.
Abuses of power will put
the final touch in preparing all institutions for their overthrow and
everything will fly skyward under the blows of the maddened mob.
Poverty is Our Weapon
5. All
people are chained down to heavy toil by poverty more firmly than ever.
They were chained by
slavery and serfdom; from these, one way and another, they might free
themselves.
These could be settled
with, but from want they will never get away.
We have included in the
constitution such rights as to the masses appear fictitious and not actual
rights.
All these so-called
"Peoples Rights" can exist only in idea, an idea which can never be
realized in practical life.
What is it to the
proletariat laborer, bowed double over his heavy toil, crushed by his lot in
life, if talkers get the right to babble, if journalists get the right to
scribble any nonsense side by side with good stuff, once the proletariat has no
other profit out of the constitution save only those pitiful crumbs which we
fling them from our table in return for their voting in favor of what we
dictate, in favor of the men we place in power, the servants of our agentur
... Republican rights for
a poor man are no more than a bitter piece of irony, for the necessity he is
under of toiling almost all day gives him no present use of them, but the other
hand robs him of all guarantee of regular and certain earnings by making him
dependent on strikes by his comrades or lockouts by his masters.
We Support Communism
6. The
people, under our guidance, have annihilated the aristocracy, who were their
one and only defense and foster-mother for the sake of their own advantage
which is inseparably bound up with the well-being of the people.
Nowadays, with the
destruction of the aristocracy, the people have fallen into the grips of
merciless money-grinding scoundrels who have laid a pitiless and cruel yoke
upon the necks of the workers.
7.
We appear on the scene as
alleged saviours of the worker from this oppression when we propose to him to
enter the ranks of our fighting forces - Socialists, Anarchists, Communists -
to whom we always give support in accordance with an alleged brotherly rule (of
the solidarity of all humanity) of our social masonry.
The aristocracy, which
enjoyed by law the labor of the workers, was interested in seeing that the
workers were well fed, healthy, and strong.
We are interested in just
the opposite - in the diminution, the killing out of the goyim.
Our power is in the
chronic shortness of food and physical weakness of the worker because by all
that this implies he is made the slave of our will, and he will not find in his
own authorities either strength or energy to set against our will.
Hunger creates the right
of capital to rule the worker more surely than it was given to the aristocracy
by the legal authority of kings.
8.
By want and the envy and
hatred which it engenders we shall move the mobs and with their hands we shall
wipe out all those who hinder us on our way.
9.
When the hour strikes for
our sovereign lord of all the world to be crowned, it is these same hands which
will sweep away everything that might be a hindrance thereto.
10.
The goyim have lost the
habit of thinking unless prompted by the suggestions of our specialists.
Therefore they do not see
the urgent necessity of what we, when our kingdom comes, shall adopt at once,
namely this, that it is essential to teach in national schools one simple, true
piece of knowledge, the basis of all knowledge - the knowledge of the structure
of human life, of social existence, which requires division of labor, and,
consequently, the division of men into classes and conditions.
It is essential for all to
know that owing to difference in the objects of human activity, there cannot be
any equality, that he, who by any act of his compromises a whole class, cannot
be equally responsible before the law with him who affects no one but only his
own honor.
The true knowledge of the
structure of society, into the secrets of which we do not admit the goyim,
would demonstrate to all men that the positions and work must be kept within a
certain circle, that they may not become a source of human suffering, arising
from an education which does not correspond with the work which individuals are
called upon to do.
After a thorough study of
this knowledge, the peoples will voluntarily submit to authority and accept
such position as is appointed them in the State.
In the present state of
knowledge and the direction we have given to its development of the people,
blindly believing things in print - cherishes - thanks to promptings intended
to mislead and to its own ignorance - a blind hatred towards all conditions
which it considers above itself, for it has no understanding of the meaning of
class and condition.
Jews will be safe
11.
This hatred will be still
further magnified by the effects of an economic crises, which will stop dealing
on the exchanges and bring industry to a standstill.
We shall create by all the
secret subterranean methods open to us and with the aid of gold, which is all
in our hands, a universal economic crises whereby we shall throw upon the
streets the whole mobs of workers simultaneously in all the countries of
Europe.
These mobs will rush
delightedly to shed the blood of those whom, in the simplicity of their
ignorance, they have envied from their cradles, and whose property they will
then be able to loot.
12.
"Ours" they will
not touch, because the moment of attack will be known to us and we shall take
measures to protect our own.
13.
We have demonstrated that
progress will bring all the goyim to the sovereignty of reason.
Our despotism will be
precisely that; for it will know how, by wise severities, to pacificate all
unrest, to cauterize liberalism out of all institutions.
14.
When the populace has seen
that all sorts of concessions and indulgences are yielded it, in the same name
of freedom it has imagined itself to be sovereign lord and has stormed its way
to power, but, naturally like every other blind man, it has come upon a host of
stumbling blocks.
It has rushed to find a
guide, it has never had the sense to return to the former state and it has laid
down its plenipotentiary powers at our feet.
Remember the French
Revolution, to which it was we who gave the name of "Great":
the secrets of its
preparations are well known to us for it was wholly the work of our hands.
15.
Ever since that time we
have been leading the peoples from one disenchantment to another, so that in
the end they should turn also from us in favor of that king-despot of the blood
of Zion, whom we are preparing for the world.
16.
At the present day we are,
as an international force, invincible, because if attacked by some we are
supported by other States.
It is the bottomless
rascality of the goyim peoples, who crawl on their bellies to force, but are
merciless towards weakness, unsparing to faults and indulgent to crimes,
unwilling to bear the contradictions of a free social system but patient unto
martyrdom under the violence of a bold despotism - it is those qualities which
are aiding us to independence.
From the premier-dictators
of the present day, the goyim peoples suffer patiently and bear such abuses as
for the least of them they would have beheaded twenty kings.
17.
What is the explanation of
this phenomenon, this curious inconsequence of the masses of the peoples in
their attitude towards what would appear to be events of the same order?
18.
It is explained by the
fact that these dictators whisper to the peoples through their agents that
through these abuses they are inflicting injury on the States with the highest
purpose - to secure the welfare of the peoples, the international brotherhood
of them all, their solidarity and equality of rights.
Naturally they do not tell
the peoples that this unification must be accomplished only under our sovereign
rule.
19.
And thus the people
condemn the upright and acquit the guilty, persuaded ever more and more that it
can do whatsoever it wishes.
Thanks to this state of
things, the people are destroying every kind of stability and creating
disorders at every step.
20.
The word
"freedom" brings out the communities of men to fight against every
kind of force, against every kind of authority even against God and the laws of
nature.
For this reason we, when
we come into our kingdom, shall have to erase this word from the lexicon of
life as implying a principle of brute force which turns mobs into bloodthirsty
beasts.
21.
These beasts, it is true,
fall asleep again every time when they have drunk their fill of blood, and at
such time can easily be riveted into their chains.
But if they be not given
blood they will not sleep and continue to struggle.
Protocol 4 - Materialism to Replace Religion
1.
Every republic passes
through several stages.
The first of these is
comprised in the early days of mad raging by the blind mob, tossed hither and
thither, right and left:
the second is demagogy
from which is born anarchy, and that leads inevitably to despotism - not any
longer legal and overt, and therefore responsible despotism, but to unseen and
secretly hidden, yet nevertheless sensibly felt despotism in the hands of some
secret organization or other, whose acts are the more unscrupulous inasmuch as
it works behind a screen, behind the backs of all sorts of agents, the changing
of whom not only does not injuriously affect but actually aids the secret force
by saving it, thanks to continual changes, from the necessity of expanding its
resources on the rewarding of long services.
2.
Who and what is in a
position to overthrow an invisible force?
And this is precisely what
our force is.
Gentile masonry blindly
serves as a screen for us and our objects, but the plan of action of our force,
even its very abiding-place, remains for the whole people an unknown mystery.
We shall destroy god
3.
But even freedom might be
harmless and have its place in the State economy without injury to the
well-being of the peoples if it rested upon the foundation of faith in God,
upon the brotherhood of humanity, unconnected with the conception of equality,
which is negatived by the very laws of creation, for they have established
subordination.
With such a faith as this
a people might be governed by a wardship of parishes, and would walk
contentedly and humbly under the guiding hand of its spiritual pastor
submitting to the dispositions of God upon earth.
This is the reason why it
is indispensable for us to undermine all faith, to tear out of the mind of the
"goyim" the very principle of God-head and the Spirit, and to put in
its place arithmetical calculations and material needs.
4.
In order to give the goyim
no time to think and take note, their minds must be diverted towards industry
and trade.
Thus, all the nations will
be swallowed up in the pursuit of gain and in the race for it will not take
note of their common foe.
But again, in order that
freedom may once for all disintegrate and ruin the communities of the goyim, we
must put industry on a speculative basis:
the result of this will be
that what is withdrawn from the land by industry will slip through the hands
and pass into speculation, that is, to our classes.
5.
The intensified struggle
for superiority and shocks delivered to economic life will create, nay, have
already created, disenchanted, cold and heartless communities.
Such communities will
foster a strong aversion towards the higher political and towards religion.
Their only guide is gain,
that is Gold, which they will erect into a veritable cult, for the sake of
those material delights which it can give.
Then will the hour strike
when, not for the sake of attaining the good, not even to win wealth, but
solely out of hatred towards the privileged, the lower classes of the goyim
will follow our lead against our rivals for power, the intellectuals of the
goyim.
Protocol 5 - Despotism and Modern Progress
1.
What form of
administrative rule can be given to communities in which corruption has
penetrated everywhere, communities where riches are attained only by the clever
surprise tactics of semi-swindling tricks; where looseness reigns:
where morality is
maintained by penal measures and harsh laws but not by voluntarily accepted
principles: where the feelings towards faith and country are obligated by
cosmopolitan convictions?
What form of rule is to be
given to these communities if not that despotism which I shall describe to you
later?
We shall create an
intensified centralization of government in order to grip in our hands all the
forces of the community.
We shall regulate
mechanically all the actions of the political life of our subjects by new laws.
These laws will withdraw
one by one all the indulgences and liberties which have been permitted by the
goyim, and our kingdom will be distinguished by a despotism of such magnificent
proportions as to be at any moment and in every place in a position to wipe out
any goyim who oppose us by deed or word.
2.
We shall be told that such
a despotism as I speak of is not consistent with the progress of these days,
but I will prove to you that it is.
3.
In the times when the
peoples looked upon kings on their thrones as on a pure manifestation of the
will of God, they submitted without a murmur to the despotic power of kings:
but from the day when we
insinuated into their minds the conception of their own rights they began to
regard the occupants of thrones as mere ordinary mortals.
The holy unction of the
Lord's Anointed has fallen from the heads of kings in the eyes of the people,
and when we also robbed them of their faith in God the might of power was flung
upon the streets into the place of public proprietorship and was seized by us.
Masses Led By Lies
4.
Moreover, the art of
directing masses and individuals by means of cleverly manipulated theory and
verbiage, by regulations of life in common and all sorts of other quirks, in
all which the goyim understand nothing, belongs likewise to the specialists of
our administrative brain.
Reared on analysis,
observation, on delicacies of fine calculation, in this species of skill we
have no rivals, any more than we have either in the drawing up of plans of
political actions and solidarity.
In this respect the
Jesuits alone might have compared with us, but we have contrived to discredit
them in the eyes of the unthinking mob as an overt organization, while we
ourselves all the while have kept our secret organization in the shade.
However, it is probably
all the same to the world who is its sovereign lord, whether the head of
Catholicism or our despot of the blood of Zion!
But to us, the Chosen
People, it is very far from being a matter of indifference.
5.
For a time perhaps we
might be successfully dealt with by a coalition of the "goyim" of all
the world:
but from this danger we
are secured by the discord existing among them whose roots are so deeply seated
that they can never now be plucked up.
We have set one against
another the personal and national reckonings of the goyim, religious and race
hatreds, which we have fostered into a huge growth in the course of the past
twenty centuries.
This is the reason why
there is not one State which would anywhere receive support if it were to raise
its arm, for every one of them must bear in mind that any agreement against us
would be unprofitable to itself.
We are too strong - there
is no evading our power.
The nations cannot come to
even an inconsiderable private agreement without our secretly having a hand in
it.
6.
Per me reges regnant.
"It is through me
that Kings reign."
And it was said by the
prophets that we were chosen by God Himself to rule over the whole earth.
God has endowed us with
genius that we may be equal to our task.
Were genius in the
opposite camp it would still struggle against us, but even so, a newcomer is no
match for the old-established settler:
the struggle would be
merciless between us, such a fight as the world has never seen.
Aye, and the genius on
their side would have arrived too late.
All the wheels of the
machinery of all States go by the force of the engine, which is in our hands,
and that engine of the machinery of States is - Gold.
The science of political
economy invented by our learned elders has for long past been giving royal
prestige to capital.
Monopoly Capital
7.
Capital, if it is to
co-operate untrammeled, must be free to establish a monopoly of industry and
trade:
this is already being put
in execution by an unseen hand in all quarters of the world.
This freedom will give
political force to those engaged in industry, and that will help to oppress the
people.
Nowadays it is more
important to disarm the peoples than to lead them into war:
more important to use for
our advantage the passions which have burst into flames than to quench their
fire:
more important to
eradicate them.
The principle object of
our directorate consists in this:
To debilitate the public
mind by criticism;
to lead it away from
serious reflections calculated to arouse resistance;
to distract the forces of the
mind towards a sham fight of empty eloquence.
8.
In all ages the people of
the world, equally with individuals, have accepted words for deeds, for they
are content with a show and rarely pause to note, in the public arena, whether
promises are followed by performance.
Therefore we shall
establish show institutions which will give eloquent proof of their benefit to
progress.
9.
We shall assume to
ourselves the liberal physiognomy of all parties, of all directions, and we
shall give that physiognomy a voice in orators who will speak so much that they
will exhaust the patience of their hearers and produce an abhorrence of
oratory.
10.
In order to put public
opinion into our hands, we must bring it into a state of bewilderment by giving
expression from all sides to so many contradictory opinions and for such length
of time as will suffice to make the "goyim" lose their heads in the
labyrinth and come to see that the best thing is to have no opinion of any kind
in matters political, which it is not given to the public to understand,
because they are understood only by him who guides the public.
This is the first secret.
11.
The second secret
requisite for the success of our government is comprised in the following:
To multiply to such an
extent national failings, habits, passions, conditions of civil life, that it
will be impossible for anyone to know where he is in the resulting chaos, so
that the people in consequence will fail to understand one another.
This measure will also
serve us in another way, namely, to sow discord in all parties, to dislocate
all collective forces which are still unwilling to submit to us, and to
discourage any kind of personal initiative which might in any degree hinder our
affair.
There is nothing more
dangerous than personal initiative: if it has genius behind it, such initiative
can do more than can be done by millions of people among whom we have sown
discord.
We must so direct the
education of the goyim communities that whenever they come upon a matter
requiring initiative they may drop their hands in despairing impotence.
The strain which results
from freedom of actions saps the forces when it meets with the freedom of
another.
From this collision arise
grave moral shocks, disenchantments, failures.
By all these means we
shall so wear down the "goyim" that they will be compelled to offer
us international power of a nature that by its position will enable us without
any violence gradually to absorb all the state forces of the world and to form
a super-government.
In place of the rulers of
to-day we shall set up a bogey which will be called the Super-Government
Administration.
Its hands will reach out
in all directions like nippers and its organization will be of such colossal
dimensions that it cannot fail to subdue all the nations of the world.
Protocol 6 - Take-Over Technique
1.
We shall soon begin to
establish huge monopolies, reservoirs of colossal riches, upon which, even
large fortunes of the goyim will depend to such an extent that they will go to
the bottom together with the credit of the States on the day after the
political smash ...
2.
You gentlemen here present
who are economists, just strike an estimate of the significance of this
combination!
3.
In every possible way we
must develop the significance of our Super-Government by representing it as the
Protector and Benefactor of all those who voluntarily submit to us.
4.
The aristocracy of the
goyim as a political force, is dead - We need not take it into account;
but as landed proprietors
they can still be harmful to us from the fact that they are self-sufficing in
the resources upon which they live.
It is essential therefore
for us at whatever cost to deprive them of their land.
This object will be best
attained by increasing the burdens upon landed property - in loading lands with
debts.
These measures will check
land-holding and keep it in a state of humble and unconditional submission.
5.
The aristocrats of the
goyim, being hereditarily incapable of contenting themselves with little, will rapidly
burn up and fizzle out.
We Shall Enslave Gentiles
6.
At the same time we must
intensively patronize trade and industry, but, first and foremost, speculation,
the part played by which is to provide a counterpoise to industry:
the absence of speculative
industry will multiply capital in private hands and will serve to restore
agriculture by freeing the land from indebtedness to the land banks.
What we want is that
industry should drain off from the land both labor and capital and by means of
speculation transfer into our hands all the money of the world, and thereby
throw all the goyim into the ranks of the proletariat.
Then the goyim will bow
down before us, if for no other reason but to get the right to exist.
7.
To complete the ruin of
the industry of the goyim we shall bring to the assistance of speculation the
luxury which we have developed among the goyim, that greedy demand for luxury
which is swallowing up everything.
We shall raise the rate of
wages which, however, will not bring any advantage to the workers, for, at the
same time, we shall produce a rise in prices of the first necessaries of life,
alleging that it arises from the decline of agriculture and cattle-breeding:
We shall further undermine
artfully and deeply sources of production, by accustoming the workers to
anarchy and to drunkenness and side by side therein taking all measure to
extirpate from the face of the Earth all the educated forces of the
"goyim."
8.
In order that the true
meaning of things may not strike the "goyim" before the proper time,
we shall mask it under an alleged ardent desire to serve the working classes
and the great principles of political economy about which our economic theories
are carrying on an energetic propaganda.
Protocol 7 - Worldwide Wars
1.
The intensification of
armaments, the increase of police forces - are all essential for the completion
of the aforementioned plans.
What we have to get at is
that there should be in all the States of the world, besides ourselves, only
the masses of the proletariat, a few millionaires devoted to our interests,
police and soldiers.
2.
Throughout all Europe, and
by means of relations with Europe, in other continents also, we must create
ferments, discords and hostility.
Therein we gain a double
advantage.
In the first place we keep
in check all countries, for they will know that we have the power whenever we
like to create disorders or to restore order.
All these countries are
accustomed to see in us an indispensable force of coercion.
In the second place, by
our intrigues we shall tangle up all the threads which we have stretched into
the cabinets of all States by means of the political, by economic treaties, or
loan obligations.
In order to succeed in
this we must use great cunning and penetration during negotiations and
agreements, but, as regards what is called the "official language,"
we shall keep to the opposite tactics and assume the mask of honesty and
complacency.
In this way the peoples
and governments of the goyim, whom we have taught to look only at the outside
whatever we present to their notice, will still continue to accept us as the
benefactors and saviours of the human race.
Universal War
3.
We must be in a position
to respond to every act of opposition by war with the neighbors of that country
which dares to oppose us:
but if these neighbors
should also venture to stand collectively together against us, then we must
offer resistance by a universal war.
4.
The principal factor of
success in the political is the secrecy of its undertakings:
the word should not agree
with the deeds of the diplomat.
5.
We must compel the
governments of the goyim to take action in the direction favored by our widely
conceived plan, already approaching the desired consummation, by what we shall
represent as public opinion, secretly promoted by us through the means of that
so-called "Great Power" - the press, which, with a few exceptions
that may be disregarded, is already entirely in our hands.
Protocol 8 - Provisional Government
1.
We must arm ourselves with
all the weapons which our opponents might employ against us.
We must search out in the
very finest shades of expression and the knotty points of the lexicon of law
justification for those cases where we shall have to pronounce judgments that might
appear abnormally audacious and unjust, for it is important that these
resolutions should be set forth in expressions that shall seem to be the most
exalted moral principles cast into legal form.
Our directorate must
surround itself with all these forces of civilization among which it will have
to work.
It will surround itself
with publicists, practical jurists, administrators, diplomats and, finally,
with persons prepared by a special super-educational training in our special
schools.
These persons will have
consonance of all the secrets of the social structure, they will know all the
languages that can be made up by political alphabets and words;
they will be made
acquainted with the whole underside of human nature, with all its sensitive
chords on which they will have to play.
These chords are the cast
of mind of the goyim, their tendencies, short-comings, vices and qualities, the
particularities of classes and conditions.
Needless to say that the
talented assistants of authority, of whom I speak, will be taken not from among
the goyim, who are accustomed to perform their administrative work without
giving themselves the trouble to think what its aim is, and never consider what
it is needed for.
The administrators of the
goyim sign papers without reading them, and they serve either for mercenary
reasons or from ambition.
2.
We shall surround our
government with a whole world of economists.
That is the reason why
economic sciences form the principal subject of the teaching given to the Jews.
Around us again will be a
whole constellation of bankers, industrialists, capitalists and - the main
thing - millionaires, because in substance everything will be settled by the
question of figures.
3.
For a time, until there
will no longer be any risk in entrusting responsible posts in our State to our
brother-Jews, we shall put them in the hands of persons whose past and
reputation are such that between them and the people lies an abyss, persons
who, in case of disobedience to our instructions, must face criminal charges or
disappear - this in order to make them defend our interests to their last gasp.
Protocol 9 - Re-education
1.
In applying our principles
let attention be paid to the character of the people in whose country you live
and act;
a general, identical
application of them, until such time as the people shall have been re-educated
to our pattern, cannot have success.
But by approaching their
application cautiously you will see that not a decade will pass before the most
stubborn character will change and we shall add a new people to the ranks of
those already subdued by us.
2.
The words of the liberal,
which are in effect the words of our masonic watchword, namely, "Liberty,
Equality, Fraternity," will, when we come into our kingdom, be changed by
us into words no longer of a watchword, but only an expression of idealism,
namely, into "The right of liberty, the duty of equality, the ideal of
brotherhood."
That is how we shall put
it, - and so we shall catch the bull by the horns ... de facto we have already
wiped out every kind of rule except our own, although de jure there still
remain a good many of them.
Nowadays, if any States
raise a protest against us it is only proforma at our discretion and by our
direction, for their anti-Semitism is indispensable to us for the management of
our lesser brethren.
I will not enter into
further explanations, for this matter has formed the subject of repeated
discussions amongst us.
Jewish Super-State
3.
For us there are not
checks to limit the range of our activity.
Our Super-Government
subsists in extra-legal conditions which are described in the accepted
terminology by the energetic and forcible word - Dictatorship.
I am in a position to tell
you with a clear conscience that at the proper time, we, the law-givers, shall
execute judgment and sentence, we shall slay and we shall spare, we, as head of
all our troops, are mounted on the steed of the leader.
We rule by force of will,
because in our hands are the fragments of a once powerful party, now vanquished
by us.
And the weapons in our
hands are limitless ambitions, burning greediness, merciless vengeance, hatreds
and malice.
4.
It is from us that the
all-engulfing terror proceeds.
We have in our service
persons of all opinions, of all doctrines, restorating monarchists, demagogues,
socialists, communists, and Utopian dreamers of every kind.
We have harnessed them all
to the task: Each one of them on his own account is boring away at the last
remnants of authority, is striving to overthrow all established form of order.
By these acts all States
are in torture; they exhort to tranquility, are ready to sacrifice everything
for peace:
But we will not give them
peace until they openly acknowledge our international super-government, and
with submissiveness.
5.
The people have raised a
howl about the necessity of settling the question of Socialism by way of an
international agreement.
Division into fractional
parties has given them into our hands, for in order to carry on a contested
struggle one must have money, and the money is all in our hands.
6.
We might have reason to
apprehend a union between the "clear-sighted" force of the goy kings
on their thrones and the "blind" force of the goy mobs, but we have
taken all the needful measure against any such possibility:
between the one and the
other force we have erected a bulwark in the shape of a mutual terror between
them.
In this way the blind
force of the people remains our support, and we, and we only, shall provide
them with a leader and, of course, direct them along the road that leads to our
goal.
7.
In order that the hand of
the blind mob may not free itself from our guiding hand, we must every now and
then enter into close communion with it, if not actually in person, at any rate
through some of the most trusty of our brethren.
When we are acknowledged
as the only authority we shall discuss with the people personally on the market
places, and we shall instruct them on questions of the political in such wise
as may turn them in the direction that suits us.
8.
Who is going to verify
what is taught in the village schools?
But what an envoy of the
government or a king on his throne himself may say cannot but become
immediately known to the whole State, for it will be spread abroad by the voice
of the people.
9.
In order to annihilate the
institutions of the goyim before it is time we have touched them with craft and
delicacy, and have taken hold of the ends of the springs which move their
mechanism.
These springs lay in a
strict but just sense of order; we have replaced them by the chaotic license of
liberalism.
We have got our hands into
the administration of the law, into the conduct of elections, into the press,
into liberty of the person, but principally into education and training as
being the cornerstones of a free existence.
Christian Youth Destroyed
10.
We have fooled, bemused
and corrupted the youth of the "goyim" by rearing them in principles
and theories which are known to us to be false although it is that they have
been inculcated.
11.
Above the existing laws
without substantially altering them, and by merely twisting them into
contradictions of interpretations, we have erected something grandiose in the
way of results.
These results found
expression in the fact that the interpretations masked the law: afterwards they
entirely hid them from the eyes of the governments owing to the impossibility
of making anything out of the tangled web of legislation.
12.
This is the origin of the
theory of course of arbitration.
13.
You may say that the goyim
will rise upon us, arms in hand, if they guess what is going on before the time
comes; but in the West we have against this a manoeuvre of such appalling
terror that the very stoutest hearts quail
- the undergrounds,
metropolitans, those subterranean corridors which, before the time comes, will
be driven under all the capitals and from whence those capitals will be blown
into the air with all their organizations and archives.
Protocol 10 - Preparing for Power
1.
To-day I begin with a
repetition of what I said before, and I beg you bear in mind that governments
and people are content in the political with outside appearances.
And how, indeed, are the
goyim to perceive the underlying meaning of things when their representatives
give the best of their energies to enjoying themselves?
For our policy it is of
the greatest importance to take cognizance of this detail;
it will be of assistance
to us when we come to consider the division of authority of property, of the
dwelling, of taxation (the idea of concealed taxes), of the reflex force of the
laws.
All these questions are
such as ought not to be touched upon directly and openly before the people.
In cases where it is
indispensable to touch upon them they must not be categorically named, it must
merely be declared without detailed exposition that the principles of
contemporary law are acknowledged by us.
The reason of keeping
silence in this respect is that by not naming a principle we leave ourselves
freedom of action, to drop this or that out of it without attracting notice; if
they were all categorically named they would all appear to have been already
given.
2.
The mob cherishes a
special affection and respect for the geniuses of political power and accepts
all their deeds of violence with the admiring response:
"rascally, well, yes,
it is rascally, but it's clever! ... a trick, if you like, but how craftily
played, how magnificently done, what impudent audacity!" ...
Our Goal - World Power
3.
We count upon attracting all
nations to the task of erecting the new fundamental structure, the project for
which has been drawn up by us.
This is why, before
everything, it is indispensable for us to arm ourselves and to store up in
ourselves that absolutely reckless audacity and irresistible might of the
spirit which in the person of our active workers will break down all hindrances
on our way.
4.
When we have accomplished
our coup d'etat, we shall say then to the various peoples:
"Everything has gone
terribly badly, all have been worn out with suffering. We are destroying the
causes of your torment - nationalities, frontiers, differences of coinages.
You are at liberty, of
course, to pronounce sentence upon us, but can it possibly be a just one if it
is confirmed by you before you make any trial of what we are offering
you."
... Then will the mob
exalt us and bear us up in their hands in a unanimous triumph of hopes and
expectations.
Voting, which we have made
the instrument which will set us on the throne of the world by teaching even
the very smallest units of members of the human race to vote by means of
meetings and agreements by groups, will then have served its purposes and will
play its part then for the last time by a unanimity of desire to make close
acquaintance with us before condemning us.
5.
To secure this, we must
have everybody vote without distinction of classes and qualifications, in order
to establish an absolute majority, which cannot be got from the educated
propertied classes.
In this way, by inculcating
in all a sense of self-importance, we shall destroy among the goyim the
importance of the family and its educational value and remove the possibility
of individual minds splitting off, for the mob, handled by us, will not let
them come to the front nor even give them a hearing;
it is accustomed to listen
to us only who pay it for obedience and attention.
In this way we shall
create a blind, mighty force which will never be in a position to move in any
direction without the guidance of our agents set at its head by us as leaders
of the mob.
The people will submit to
this regime because it will know that upon these leaders will depend its
earnings, gratifications and the receipt of all kinds of benefits.
6.
A scheme of government
should come ready made from one brain, because it will never be clinched firmly
if it is allowed to be split into fractional parts in the minds of many.
It is allowable therefore,
for us to have cognizance of the scheme of action but not to discuss it lest we
disturb its artfulness, the interdependence of its component parts, the
practical force of the secret meaning of each clause.
To discuss and make
alterations in a labor of this kind by means of numerous votings is to impress
upon it the stamp of all ratiocinations and misunderstandings which have failed
to penetrate the depth and nexus of its plottings.
We want our schemes to be
forcible and suitably concocted.
Therefore we ought not to
fling the work of genius of our guide to the fangs of the mob or even of a
select company.
7.
These schemes will not
turn existing institutions upside down just yet.
They will only effect
changes in their economy and consequently in the whole combined movement of
their progress, which will thus be directed along the paths laid down in our
schemes.
The Poison of Liberalism
8.
Under various names there
exists in all countries approximately one and the same thing.
Representation, Ministry,
Senate, State Council, Legislative and Executive Corps.
I need not explain to you
the mechanism of the relation of these institutions to one another, because you
are aware of all that;
only take note of the fact
that each of the above-named institutions corresponds to some important
function of the State, and I would beg you to remark that the word "important"
I apply not to the institution but to the function, consequently it is not the
institutions which are important but their functions.
These institutions have
divided up among themselves all the functions of government - administrative,
legislative, executive, wherefore they have come to operate as do the organs in
the human body.
If we injure one part in
the machinery of State, the State falls sick, like a human body, and ... will
die.
9.
When we introduced into
the State organism the poison of Liberalism its whole political complexion
underwent a change.
States have been seized
with a mortal illness - blood poisoning.
All that remains is to
await the end of their death agony.
10.
Liberalism produced
Constitutional States, which took the place of what was the only safeguard of
the goyim, namely, Despotism; and a constitution, as you well know, is nothing
else but a school of discords, misunderstandings, quarrels, disagreements,
fruitless party agitations, party whims.
- in a word, a school of
everything that serves to destroy the personality of State activity.
The tribune of the
"talkerics" has, no less effectively than the press, condemned the
rulers to inactivity and impotence, and thereby rendered them useless and
superfluous, for which reason indeed they have been in many countries deposed.
Then it was that the era
of republics become possible of realization; and then it was that we replaced
the ruler by a caricature of a government - by a president, taken from the mob,
from the midst of our puppet creatures, or slaves.
This was the foundation of
the mine which we have laid under the goy people, I should rather say, under
the goy peoples.
We name presidents
11.
In the near future we
shall establish the responsibility of presidents.
12.
By that time we shall be
in a position to disregard forms in carrying through matters for which our
impersonal puppet will be responsible.
What do we care if the
ranks of those striving for power should be thinned, if there should arise a
deadlock from the impossibility of finding presidents, a deadlock which will
finally disorganize the country? ...
13.
In order that our scheme
may produce this result we shall arrange elections in favor of such presidents
as have in their past some dark, undiscovered stain, some "Panama" or
other
- then they will be
trustworthy agents for the accomplishment of our plans out of fear of
revelations and from the natural desire of everyone who has attained power,
namely, the retention of the privileges, advantages and honor connected with
the office of president.
The chamber of deputies
will provide cover for, will protect, will elect presidents, but we shall take
from it the right to propose new, or make changes in existing laws, for this
right will be given by us to the responsible president, a puppet in our hands.
Naturally, the authority
of the presidents will then become a target for every possible form of attack,
but we shall provide him with a means of self-defense in the right of an appeal
to the people, for the decision of the people over the heads of their
representatives, that is to say, an appeal to that some blind slave of ours -
the majority of the mob.
Independently of this we
shall invest the president with the right of declaring a state of war.
We shall justify this last
right on the ground that the president as chief of the whole army of the
country must have it at his disposal, in case of need for the defense of the
new republican constitution, the right to defend which will belong to him as
the responsible representative of this constitution.
14.
It is easy to understand
them in these conditions the key of the shrine will lie in our hands, and no
one outside ourselves will any longer direct the force of legislation.
15.
Besides this we shall,
with the introduction of the new republican constitution, take from the Chamber
the right of interpolation on government measures, on the pretext of preserving
political secrecy, and, further, we shall by the new constitution reduce the
number of representatives to a minimum, thereby proportionately reducing
political passions and the passion for politics.
If, however, they should,
which is hardly to be expected, burst into flame, even in this minimum, we
shall nullify them by a stirring appeal and a reference to the majority of the
whole people ...
Upon the president will
depend the appointment of presidents and vice-presidents of the Chamber and the
Senate.
Instead of constant
sessions of Parliaments we shall reduce their sittings to a few months.
Moreover, the president,
as chief of the executive power, will have the right to summon and dissolve
Parliament, and, in the latter case, to prolong the time for the appointment of
a new parliamentary assembly.
But in order that the
consequences of all these acts which in substance are illegal, should not,
prematurely for our plans, upon the responsibility established by use of the
president, we shall instigate ministers and other officials of the higher
administration about the president to evade his dispositions by taking measures
of their own, for doing which they will be made the scapegoats in his place ...
This part we especially
recommend to be given to be played by the Senate, the Council of State, or the
Council of Ministers, but not to an individual official.
16.
The president will, at our
discretion, interpret the sense of such of the existing laws as admit of
various interpretation;
he will further annul them
when we indicate to him the necessity to do so, besides this, he will have the
right to propose temporary laws, and even new departures in the government
constitutional working, the pretext both for the one and the other being the
requirements for the supreme welfare of the State.
We Shall Destroy
17.
By such measure we shall
obtain the power of destroying little by little, step by step, all that at the
outset when we enter on our rights, we are compelled to introduce into the
constitutions of States to prepare for the transition to an imperceptible
abolition of every kind of constitution, and then the time is come to turn
every form of government into our despotism.
18.
The recognition of our
despot may also come before the destruction of the constitution;
the moment for this
recognition will come when the peoples, utterly wearied by the irregularities
and incompetence - a matter which we shall arrange for - of their rulers, will
clamor:
"Away with them and
give us one king over all the earth who will unite us and annihilate the causes
of disorders - frontiers, nationalities, religions, State debts - who will give
us peace and quiet which we cannot find under our rulers and
representatives."
19.
But you yourselves
perfectly well know that to produce the possibility of the expression of such
wishes by all the nations, it is indispensable to trouble in all countries the
people's relations with their governments so as to utterly exhaust humanity
with dissension, hatred, struggle, envy and even by the use of torture, by
starvation, by the inoculation of diseases, by want, so that the "goyim"
see no other issue than to take refuge in our complete sovereignty in money and
in all else.
20.
But if we give the nations
of the world a breathing space the moment we long for is hardly likely ever to
arrive.
Protocol 11 - The Totalitarian State
1.
The State Council has
been, as it were, the emphatic expression of the authority of the ruler:
it will be, as the
"show" part of the Legislative Corps, what may be called the
editorial committee of the laws and decrees of the ruler.
2.
This, then, is the program
of the new constitution.
We shall make Law, Right
and Justice in the guise of proposals to the Legislative Corps, by decrees of
the president under the guise of general regulations, of orders of the Senate
and of resolutions of the State Council in the guise of ministerial orders, and
in case a suitable occasion should arise - in the form of a revolution in the
State.
3.
Having established
approximately the modus agendi we will occupy ourselves with details of those
combinations by which we have still to complete the revolution in the course of
the machinery of State in the direction already indicated.
By these combinations I
mean the freedom of the Press, the right of association, freedom of conscience,
the voting principle, and many another that must disappear for ever from the
memory of man, or undergo a radical alteration the day after the promulgation
of the new constitution.
It is only at the moment
that we shall be able at once to announce all our orders, for, afterwards,
every noticeable alteration will be dangerous, for the following reasons:
if this alteration be
brought in with harsh severity and in a sense of severity and limitations, it
may lead to a feeling of despair caused by fear of new alterations in the same
direction;
if, on the other hand, it
be brought in a sense of further indulgences it will be said that we have
recognized our own wrong-doing and this will destroy the prestige of the
infallibility of our authority, or else it will be said that we have become
alarmed and are compelled to show a yielding disposition, for which we shall
get no thanks because it will be supposed to be compulsory ...
Both the one and the other
are injurious to the prestige of the new constitution.
What we want is that from
the first moment of its promulgation, while the peoples of the world are still
stunned by the accomplished fact of the revolution, still in a condition of
terror and uncertainty, they should recognize once for all that we are so
strong, so inexpugnable, so super-abundantly filled with power, that in no case
shall we take any account of them, and so far from paying any attention to
their opinions or wishes, we are ready and able to crush with irresistible
power all expression or manifestation thereof at every moment and in every place,
that we have seized at once everything we wanted and shall in no case divide
our power with them ...
Then in fear and trembling
they will close their eyes to everything, and be content to await what will be
the end of it all.
We Are Wolves
4.
The goyim are a flock of
sheep, and we are their wolves.
And you know what happens
when the wolves get hold of the flock? ....
5.
There is another reason
also why they will close their eyes:
for we shall keep
promising them to give back all the liberties we have taken away as soon as we
have quelled the enemies of peace and tamed all parties ....
6.
It is not worth to say
anything about how long a time they will be kept waiting for this return of
their liberties ....
7.
For what purpose then have
we invented this whole policy and insinuated it into the minds of the goy
without giving them any chance to examine its underlying meaning?
For what, indeed, if not
in order to obtain in a roundabout way what is for our scattered tribe
unattainable by the direct road?
It is this which has
served as the basis for our organization of secrete masonry which is not known
to, and aims which are not even so much as suspected by, these "goy"
cattle, attracted by us into the "show" army of masonic lodges in
order to throw dust in the eyes of their fellows.
8.
God has granted to us, His
Chosen People, the gift of the dispersion, and in this which appears in all
eyes to be our weakness, has come forth all our strength, which has now brought
us to the threshold of sovereignty over all the world.
9.
There now remains not much
more for us to build up upon the foundation we have laid.
Protocol 12 - Control of the Press
1.
The word
"freedom," which can be interpreted in various ways, is defined by us
as follows -
2.
Freedom is the right to do
what which the law allows.
This interpretation of the
word will at the proper time be of service to us, because all freedom will thus
be in our hands, since the laws will abolish or create only that which is
desirable for us according to the aforesaid program.
3.
We shall deal with the
press in the following way:
what is the part played by
the press to-day?
It serves to excite and
inflame those passions which are needed for our purpose or else it serves
selfish ends of parties.
It is often vapid, unjust,
mendacious, and the majority of the public have not the slightest idea what
ends the press really serves.
We shall saddle and bridle
it with a tight curb:
we shall do the same also
with all productions of the printing press, for where would be the sense of
getting rid of the attacks of the press if we remain targets for pamphlets and
books?
The produce of publicity,
which nowadays is a source of heavy expense owing to the necessity of censoring
it, will be turned by us into a very lucrative source of income to our State:
we shall law on it a
special stamp tax and require deposits of caution-money before permitting the
establishment of any organ of the press or of printing offices;
these will then have to
guarantee our government against any kind of attack on the part of the press.
For any attempt to attack
us, if such still be possible, we shall inflict fines without mercy.
Such measures as stamp
tax, deposit of caution-money and fines secured by these deposits, will bring
in a huge income to the government.
It is true that party
organs might not spare money for the sake of publicity, but these we shall shut
up at the second attack upon us.
No one shall with impunity
lay a finger on the aureole of our government infallibility.
The pretext for stopping
any publication will be the alleged plea that it is agitating the public mind
without occasion or justification.
I beg you to note that
among those making attacks upon us will also be organs established by us, but
they will attack exclusively points that we have pre-determined to alter.
We Control the Press
4.
Not a single announcement
will reach the public without our control.
Even now this is already
being attained by us inasmuch as all news items are received by a few agencies,
in whose offices they are focused from all parts of the world.
These agencies will then
be already entirely ours and will give publicity only to what we dictate to
them.
5.
If already now we have
contrived to possess ourselves of the minds of the goy communities to such an
extent that they all come near looking upon the events of the world through the
colored glasses of those spectacles we are setting astride their noses;
if already now there is
not a single State where there exist for us any barriers to admittance into
what goy stupidity calls State secrets:
what will our positions be
then, when we shall be acknowledged supreme lords of the world in the person of
our king of all the world ....
6.
Let us turn again to the
future of the printing press.
Every one desirous of
being a publisher, librarian, or printer, will be obliged to provide himself
with the diploma instituted therefore, which, in case of any fault, will be
immediately impounded.
With such measures the
instrument of thought will become an educative means in the hands of our
government, which will no longer allow the mass of the nation to be led astray
in by-ways and fantasies about the blessings of progress.
Is there any one of us who
does not know that these phantom blessings are the direct roads to foolish
imaginings which give birth to anarchical relations of men among themselves and
towards authority, because progress, or rather the idea of progress, has
introduced the conception of every kind of emancipation, but has failed to
establish its limits ....
All the so-called liberals
are anarchists, if not in fact, at any rate in thought.
Every one of them in
hunting after phantoms of freedom, and falling exclusively into license, that
is, into the anarchy of protest for the sake of protest ....
Free Press Destroyed
7.
We turn to the periodical
press.
We shall impose on it, as
on all printed matter, stamp taxes per sheet and deposits of caution-money, and
books of less than 30 sheets will pay double.
We shall reckon them as
pamphlets in order, on the one hand, to reduce the number of magazines, which
are the worst form of printed poison, and, on the other, in order that this
measure may force writers into such lengthy productions that they will be
little read, especially as they will be costly.
At the same time what we
shall publish ourselves to influence mental development in the direction laid
down for our profit will be cheap and will be read voracious.
The tax will bring vapid
literary ambitions within bounds and the liability to penalties will make
literary men dependent upon us.
And if there should be any
found who are desirous of writing against us, they will not find any person
eager to print their productions in print the publisher or printer will have to
apply to the authorities for permission to do so.
Thus we shall know
beforehand of all tricks preparing against us and shall nullify them by getting
ahead with explanations on the subject treated of.
8.
Literature and journalism
are two of the most important educative forces, and therefore our government
will become proprietor of the majority of the journals.
This will neutralize the
injurious influence of the privately-owned press and will put us in possession
of a tremendous influence upon the public mind ....
If we give permits for ten
journals, we shall ourselves found thirty, and so on in the same proportion.
This, however, must in no
wise be suspected by the public.
For which reason all
journals published by us will be of the most opposite, in appearance, tendencies
and opinions, thereby creating confidence in us and bringing over to us quite
unsuspicious opponents, who will thus fall into our trap and be rendered
harmless.
9.
In the front rank will
stand organs of an official character.
They will always stand
guard over our interests, and therefore their influence will be comparatively
insignificant.
10.
In the second rank will be
the semi-official organs, whose part it will be to attack the tepid and
indifferent.
11.
In the third rank we shall
set up our own, to all appearance, off position, which, in at least one of its
organs, will present what looks like the very antipodes to us.
Our real opponents at
heart will accept this simulated opposition as their own and will show us their
cards.
12.
All our newspapers will be
of all possible complexions - aristocratic, republican, revolutionary, even
anarchical - for so long, of course, as the constitution exists ....
Like the Indian idol
"Vishnu" they will have a hundred hands, and every one of them will
have a finger on any one of the public opinions as required.
When a pulse quickens
these hands will lead opinion in the direction of our aims, for an excited
patient loses all power of judgment and easily yields to suggestion.
Those fools who will think
they are repeating the opinion of a newspaper of their own camp will be
repeating our opinion or any opinion that seems desirable for us.
In the vain belief that
they are following the organ of their party they will, in fact, follow the flag
which we hang out for them.
13.
In order to direct our
newspaper militia in this sense we must take special and minute care in
organizing this matter.
Under the title of central
department of the press we shall institute literary gatherings at which our
agents will without attracting attention issue the orders and watchwords of the
day.
By discussing and
controverting, but always superficially, without touching the essence of the
matter, our organs will carry on a sham fight fusillade with the official
newspapers solely for the purpose of giving occasion for us to express
ourselves more fully than could well be done from the outset in official
announcements, whenever, of course, that is to our advantage.
14.
These attacks upon us will
also serve another purpose, namely, that our subjects will be convinced to the
existence of full freedom of speech and so give our agents an occasion to
affirm that all organs which oppose us are empty babblers, since they are
incapable of finding any substantial objections to our orders.
Only Lies Printed
15.
Methods of organization
like these, imperceptible to the public eye but absolutely sure, are the best
calculated to succeed in bringing the attention and the confidence of the
public to the side of our government.
Thanks to such methods, we
shall be in a position as from time to time may be required, to excite or to
tranquillize the public mind on political questions, to persuade or to confuse,
printing now truth, now lies, facts or their contradictions, according as they
may be well or ill received, always very cautiously feeling our ground before
stepping upon it ....
We shall have a sure
triumph over our opponents since they will not have at their disposition organs
of the press in which they can give full and final expression to their views
owing to the aforesaid methods of dealing with the press.
We shall not even need to
refute them except very superficially.
16.
Trial shots like these,
fired by us in the third rank of our press, in case of need, will be
energetically refuted by us in our semi-official organs.
17.
Even nowadays, already, to
take only the French press, there are forms which reveal masonic solidarity in
acting on the watchword:
all organs of the press
are bound together by professional secrecy;
like the augurs of old,
not one of their numbers will give away the secret of his sources of
information unless it be resolved to make announcement of them.
Not one journalist will
venture to betray this secret, for not one of them is ever admitted to practice
literature unless his whole past has some disgraceful sore or other.
... These sores would be
immediately revealed.
So long as they remain the
secret of a few the prestige of the journalist attacks the majority of the
country - the mob follow after him with enthusiasm.
18.
Our calculations are
especially extended to the provinces.
It is indispensable for us
to inflame there those hopes and impulses with which we could at any moment
fall upon the capital, and we shall represent to the capitals that these
expressions are the independent hopes and impulses of the provinces.
Naturally, the source of
them will be always one and the same - ours.
What we need is that,
until such time as we are in the plentitude [of] power, the capitals should
find themselves stifled by the provincial opinion of the nations, i.e., of a
majority arranged by our agentur.
What we need is that at
the psychological moment the capitals should not be in a position to discuss an
accomplished fact for the simple reason, if for no other, that it has been
accepted by the public opinion of a majority in the provinces.
19.
When we are in the period
of the new regime transitional to that of our assumption of full sovereignty,
we must not admit any revelation by the press of any form of public dishonesty;
it is necessary that the
new regime should be thought to have so perfectly contended everybody that even
criminality has disappeared ...
Cases of the manifestation
of criminality should remain known only to their victims and to chance witnesses
- no more.
Protocol 13 - Distractions
1.
The need for daily bread
forces the Goyim to keep silence and be our humble servants.
Agents taken on to our
press from among the GOYIM will at our orders discuss anything which it is
inconvenient for us to issue directly in official documents, and we meanwhile,
quietly amid the din of the discussion so raised, shall simply take and carry
through such measures as we wish and then offer them to the public as an
accomplished fact.
No one will dare to demand
the abrogation of a matter once settled, all the more so as it will be
represented as an improvement ...
And immediately the press
will distract the current of thought towards new questions.
Into the discussions of
these new questions will throw themselves those of the brainless dispensers of
fortunes who are not able even now to understand that they have not the
remotest conception about the matters which they undertake to discuss.
Questions of the political
are unattainable for any save those who have guided it already for many ages,
the creators.
2.
From all this you will see
that in seeming the opinion of the mob we are only facilitating the working of
our machinery, and you may remark that it is not for actions but for words
issued by us on this or that question that we seem to seek approval.
We are constantly making
public declaration that we are guided in all our undertakings by the hope,
joined to the conviction, that we are serving the common weal.
We Deceive Workers
3.
In order to distract people
who may be too troublesome from discussions of questions of the political we
are now putting forward what we allege to be new questions of the political,
namely, questions of industry.
In this sphere let them
discuss themselves silly!
The masses are agreed to
remain inactive, to take a rest from what they suppose to be political only on
condition of being found new employments, in which we are prescribing them
something that looks like the same political object.
In order that the masses
themselves may not guess what they are about WE FURTHER DISTRACT THEM WITH
AMUSEMENTS, GAMES, PASTIMES, PASSIONS, PEOPLE'S PALACES ....
SOON WE SHALL BEGIN
THROUGH THE PRESS TO PROPOSE COMPETITIONS IN ART, IN SPORT IN ALL KINDS:
these interests will
finally distract their minds from questions in which we should find ourselves
compelled to oppose them.
Growing more and more
disaccustomed to reflect and form any opinions of their own, people will begin
to talk in the same tone as we because we alone shall be offering them new
directions for thought ... of course through such persons as will not be
suspected of solidarity with us.
4.
The part played by the
liberals, Utopian dreamers, will be finally played out when our government is
acknowledged.
Till such time they will
continue to do us good service.
Therefore we shall
continue to direct their minds to all sorts of vain conceptions of fantastic
theories, new and apparently progressive:
for have we not with
complete success turned the brainless heads of the GOYIM with progress, till
there is not among the GOYIM one mind able to perceive that under this word
lies a departure from truth in all cases where it is not a question of material
inventions, like a fallacious idea, serves to obscure truth so that none may know
it except us, the Chosen of God, its guardians.
5.
When we come into our
kingdom our orators will expound great problems which have turned humanity
upside down in order to bring it at the end under our beneficent rule.
6.
Who will ever suspect then
that ALL THESE PEOPLES WERE STAGE-MANAGED BY US ACCORDING TO A POLITICAL PLAN
WHICH NO ONE HAS SO MUCH AS GUESSED AT IN THE COURSE OF MANY CENTURIES?
Protocol 14 - Assault on Religion
1.
When we come into our
kingdom it will be undesirable for us that there should exist any other
religion than ours of the One God with whom our destiny is bound up by our
position as the Chosen People and through whom our same destiny is united with
the destinies of the world.
We must therefore sweep
away all other forms of belief.
If this gives birth to the
atheists whom we see to-day, it will not, being only a transitional stage,
interfere with our views, but will serve as a warning for those generations
which will hearken to our preaching of the religion of Moses, that, by its
stable and thoroughly elaborated system has brought all the peoples of the
world into subjection to us.
Therein we shall emphasize
its mystical right, on which, as we shall say, all its educative power is based
....
Then at every possible
opportunity we shall publish articles in which we shall make comparisons
between our beneficent rule and those of past ages.
The blessing of
tranquillity, though it be a tranquillity forcibly brought about by centuries
of agitation, will throw into higher relief the benefits to which we shall
point.
The errors of the goyim
governments will be depicted by us in the most vivid hues.
We shall implant such an
abhorrence of them that the peoples will prefer tranquillity in a state of
serfdom to those rights of vaunted freedom which have tortured humanity and
exhausted the very sources of human existence, sources which have been
exploited by a mob of rascally adventurers who know not what they do. ...
useless changes of forms
of government to which we instigated the "goyim" when we were
undermining their state structures, will have so wearied the peoples by that
time, that they will prefer to suffer anything under us rather than run the
risk of enduring again all the agitations and miseries they have gone through.
We Shall Forbid Christ
2.
At the same time we shall
not omit to emphasize the historical mistakes of the goy governments which have
tormented humanity for so many centuries by their lack of understanding of
everything that constitutes the true good of humanity in their chase after
fantastic schemes of social blessings, and have never noticed that these
schemes kept on producing a worse and never a better state of the universal
relations which are the basis of human life ....
3.
The whole force of our
principles and methods will lie in the fact that we shall present them and
expound them as a splendid contrast to the dead and decomposed old order of
things in social life.
4.
Our philosophers will
discuss all the shortcomings of the various beliefs of the "goyim,"
but no one will ever bring under discussion our faith from its true point of
view since this will be fully learned by none save ours who will never dare to
betray its secrets.
5.
In countries known as
progressive and enlightened we have created a senseless, filthy, abominable
literature.
For some time after our
entrance to power we shall continue to encourage its existence in order to
provide a telling relief by contrast to the speeches, party program, which will
be distributed from exalted quarters of ours ....
Our wise men, trained to
become leaders of the goyim, will compose speeches, projects, memoirs,
articles, which will be used by us to influence the minds of the goyim,
directing them towards such understanding and forms of knowledge as have been
determined by us.
Protocol 15 - Ruthless Suppression
1.
When we at last definitely
come into our kingdom by the aid of coups d'etat prepared everywhere for one
and the same day, after definitely acknowledged (and not a little time will
pass before that comes about, perhaps even a whole century) we shall make it
our task to see that against us such things as plots shall no longer exist.
With this purpose we shall
slay without mercy all who take arms (in hand) to oppose our coming into our
kingdom.
Every kind of new
institution of anything like a secret society will also be punished with death;
those of them which are
now in existence, are known to us, serve us and have served us, we shall
disband and send into exile to continents far removed from Europe.
In this way we shall
proceed with those goy Masons who know too much; such of these as we may for
some reason spare will be kept in constant fear of exile.
We shall promulgate a law
making all former members of secret societies liable to exile from Europe as
the center of rule.
2.
Resolutions of our
government will be final, without appeal.
3.
In the goy societies, in
which we have planted and deeply rooted discord and protestantism, the only
possible way of restoring order is to employ merciless measures that prove the
direct force of authority:
no regard must be paid to
the victims who fall, they suffer for the well-being of the future.
The attainment of that
well-being, even at the expense of sacrifices, is the duty of any kind of
government that acknowledges as justification for its existence not only its
privileges but its obligations.
The principal guarantee of
stability of rule is to confirm the aureole of power, and this aureole is
attained only by such a majestic inflexibility of might as shall carry on its
face the emblems of inviolability from mystical causes - from the choice of
God.
Such was, until recent
times, the Russian autocracy, the one and only serious foe we had in the world,
without counting the papacy.
Bear in mind the example
when Italy, drenched with blood, never touched a hair of the head of Sulla who
had poured forth that blood:
Sulla enjoyed an
apotheosis for his might in him, but his intrepid return to Italy ringed him
round with inviolability.
The people do not lay a
finger on him who hypnotizes them by his daring and strength of mind.
Secret Societies
4.
Meantime, however, until
we come into our kingdom, we shall act in the contrary way:
we shall create and
multiply free masonic lodges in all the countries of the world, absorb into
them all who may become or who are prominent in public activity, for these
lodges we shall find our principal intelligence office and means of influence.
All these lodges we shall
bring under one central administration, known to us alone and to all others
absolutely unknown, which will be composed of our learned elders.
The lodges will have their
representatives who will serve to screen the above-mentioned administration of
masonry and from whom will issue the watchword and program.
In these lodges we shall
tie together the knot which binds together all revolutionary and liberal
elements.
Their composition will be
made up of all strata of society.
The most secret political
plots will be known to us and fall under our guiding hands on the very day of
their conception.
Among the members of these
lodges will be almost all the agents of international and national police since
their service is for us irreplaceable in the respect that the police is in a
position not only to use its own particular measures with the insubordinate,
but also to screen our activities and provide pretexts for discontents, et
cetera.
5.
The class of people who
most willingly enter into secret societies are those who live by their wits,
careerists, and in general people, mostly light-minded, with whom we shall have
no difficulty in dealing and in using to wind up the mechanism of the machine
devised by us.
If this world grows
agitated the meaning of that will be that we have had to stir up in order to
break up its too great solidarity.
But if there should arise
in the midst a plot, then at the head of that plot will be no other than one of
our most trusted servants.
It is natural that we, and
no other, should lead masonic activities, for we know whither we are leading,
we know the final goal of every form of activity whereas the goyim have
knowledge of nothing, not even of the immediate effect of action; they put
before themselves, usually, the momentary reckoning of the satisfaction of
their self-opinion in the accomplishment of their thought without even
remarking that the very conception never belonged to their initiative but to
our instigation of their thought ....
Gentiles are Stupid
6.
The goyim enter the lodges
out of curiosity or in the hope by their means to get a nibble at the public
pie, and some of them in order to obtain a hearing before the public for their
impracticable and groundless fantasies:
they thirst for the
emotion of success and applause, of which we are remarkably generous.
And the reason why we give
them this success is to make use of the nigh conceit of themselves to which it
gives birth, for that insensibly disposes them to assimulate our suggestions
without being on their guard against them in the fullness of their confidence that
it is their own infallibility which is giving utterance to their own thoughts
and that it is impossible for them to borrow those of others ....
You cannot imagine to what
extent the wisest of the goyim can be brought to a state of unconscious naivete
in the presence of this condition of high conceit of themselves, and at the
same time how easy it is to take the heart out of them by the slightest
ill-success, though it be nothing more than the stoppage of the applause they
had, and to reduce them to a slavish submission for the sake of winning a
renewal of success ....
by so much as ours
disregard success, if only they can carry through their plans, by so much the
"goyim" are willing to sacrifice any plans only to have success.
This psychology of theirs
materially facilitates for us the task of setting them in the required
direction.
These tigers in appearance
have the souls of sheep and the wind blows freely through their heads.
We have set them on the
hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic
unit of collectivism ....
They have never yet and
they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest
violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the
very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the
purpose of instituting individuality ....
7.
If we have been able to
bring them to such a pitch of stupid blindness is it not a proof, and an
amazingly clear proof, of the degree to which the mind of the goyim is
undeveloped in comparison with our mind?
This it is, mainly, which
guarantees our success.
GENTILES ARE CATTLE:
8.
And how far-seeing were
our learned elders in ancient times when they said that to attain a serious end
it behooves not to stop at any means or to count the victims sacrificed for the
sake of that end ....
We have not counted the
victims of the seed of the goy cattle, though we have sacrificed many of our
own, but for that we have now already given them such a position on the earth
as they could not even have dreamed of.
The comparatively small
numbers of the victims from the number of ours have preserved our nationality
from destruction.
9.
Death is the inevitable
end for all.
It is better to bring that
end nearer to those who hinder our affairs than to ourselves, to the founders
of this affair.
We execute masons in such
wise that none save the brotherhood can ever have a suspicion of it, not even
the victims themselves of our death sentence, they all die when required as if
from a normal kind of illness .....
Knowing this, even the
brotherhood in its turn dare not protest.
By such methods we have
plucked out of the midst of masonry the very root of protest against our
disposition.
While preaching liberalism
to the goy we at the same time keep our own people and our agents in a state of
unquestioningly submission.
10.
Under our influence the
execution of the laws of the goyim has been reduced to a minimum.
The prestige of the law
has been exploded by the liberal interpretations introduced into this sphere.
In the most important and
fundamental affairs and questions, judges decide as we dictate to them, see
matters in the light wherewith we enfold them for the administration of the
goyim, of course, through persons who are our tools though we do not appear to
have anything in common with them - by newspaper opinion or by other means
.... Even senators and the
higher administration accept our counsels.
The purely brute mind of
the goyim is incapable of use for analysis and observation, and still more for
the foreseeing whither a certain manner of setting a question may tend.
11.
In this difference in
capacity for thought between the goyim and ourselves may be clearly discerned
the seal of our position as the Chosen People and of our higher quality of
humanness, in contradistinction to the brute mind of the goyim.
Their eyes are open, but
see nothing before them and do not invent (unless perhaps, material things).
From this it is plain that
nature herself has destined us to guide and rule the world.
We Demand Submission
12.
When comes the time of our
overt rule, the time to manifest its blessing, we shall remake all
legislatures, all our laws will be brief, plain, stable, without any kind of
interpretations, so that anyone will be in a position to know them perfectly.
The main feature which
will run right through them is submission to orders, and this principle will be
carried to a grandiose height.
Every abuse will then
disappear in consequence of the responsibility of all down to the lowest unit
before the higher authority of the representative of power.
Abuses of power
subordinate to this last instance will be so mercilessly punished that none
will be found anxious to try experiments with their own powers.
We shall follow up
jealously every action of the administration on which depends the smooth
running of the machinery of the State, for slackness in this produces slackness
everywhere;
not a single case of
illegality or abuse of power will be left without exemplary punishment.
13.
Concealment of guilt,
connivance between those in the service of the administration - all this kind
of evil will disappear after the very first examples of severe punishment.
The aureole of our power
demands suitable, that is, cruel, punishments for the slightest infringement,
for the sake of gain, of its supreme prestige.
The sufferer, though his
punishment may exceed his fault, will count as a soldier falling on the
administrative field of battle in the interest of authority, principle and law,
which do not permit that any of those who hold the reins of the public coach
should turn aside from the public highway to their own private paths.
For examples, our judges
will know that whenever they feel disposed to plume themselves on foolish
clemency, they are violating the law of justice which is instituted for the
exemplary edification of men by penalties for lapses and not for display of the
spiritual qualities of the judges ....
Such qualities it is
proper to show in private life, but not in a public square which is the
educationally basis of human life. (Is it not a coincidence that the Jewish
created "Bar Associations" has declared that "May 1st" to
be "Law Day;" the same date that the Jews created the "Illuminati"
under the guidance of Adam Wiesthaust in 1776?
Is it also a coincidence
that the Jewish created "Communist Nations" celebrate "May
1st" as a National holiday?).
14.
Our legal staff will serve
not beyond the age of 55, firstly because old men more obstinately hold to
prejudiced opinions, and are less capable of submitting to new directions, and
secondly because this will give us the possibility by this measure of securing
elasticity in the changing of staff, which will thus the more easily bend under
our pressure:
he who wishes to keep his
place will have to give blind obedience to deserve it.
In general, our judges
will be elected by us only from among those who thoroughly understand that the
part they have to play is to punish and apply laws and not to dream about the
manifestations of liberalism at the expense of the educational scheme of the
State, as the goyim in these days imagine it to be ....
This method of shuffling
the staff will serve also to explode any collective solidarity of those in the
same service and will bind all to the interests of the government upon which
their fate will depend.
The young generation of
judges will be trained in certain views regarding the inadmissibility of any
abuses that might disturb the established order of our subjects among themselves.
15.
In these days the judges
of the goyim create indulgences to every kind of crimes, not having a just
understanding of their office, because the rulers of the present age in
appointing judges to office take no care to inculcate in them a sense of duty
and consciousness of the matter which is demanded of them.
As a brute beast lets out
its young in search of prey, so do the goyim give to them for what purpose such
place was created.
This is the reason why
their governments are being ruined by their own forces through the acts of
their own administration.
16.
Let us borrow from the
example of the results of these actions yet another lesson for our government.
17.
We shall root out
liberalism from all the important strategic posts of our government on which
depends the training of subordinates for our State structure.
Such posts will fall
exclusively to those who have been trained by us for administrative rule.
To the possible objection
that the retirement of old servants will cost the Treasury heavily, I reply,
firstly, they will be provided with some private service in place of what they
lose, and, secondly, I have to remark that all the money in the world will be
concentrated in our hands, consequently it is not our government that has to fear
expense.
We Shall Be Cruel
18.
Our absolutism will in all
things be logically consecutive and therefore in each one of its decrees our
supreme will be respected and unquestionably fulfilled:
it will ignore all
murmurs, all discontents of every kind and will destroy to the root every kind
of manifestation of them in act by punishment of an exemplary character.
19.
We shall abolish the right
of cessation, which will be transferred exclusively to our disposal - to the
cognizance of him who rules, for we must not allow the conception among the
people of a thought that there could be such a thing as a decision that is not
right of judges set up by us.
If, however, anything like
this should occur, we shall ourselves cassate the decision, but inflict therewith
such exemplary punishment on the judge for lack of understanding of his duty
and the purpose of his appointment as will prevent a repetition of such cases
....
I repeat that it must be
born in mind that we shall know every step of our administration which only
needs to be closely watched for the people to be content with us, for it has
the right to demand from a good government a good official.
20.
Our government will have
the appearance of a patriarchal paternal guardianship on the part of our ruler.
Our own nation and our
subjects will discern in his person a father caring for their every need, their
every act, their every inter-relation as subjects one with another, as well as
their relations to the ruler.
They will then be so
thoroughly imbued with the thought that it is impossible for them to dispense
with this wardship and guidance, if they wish to live in peace and quiet, that
they will acknowledge the autocracy of our ruler with a devotion bordering on
"apotheosis," especially when they are convinced that those whom we
set up do not put their own in place of authority, but only blindly execute his
dictates.
They will be rejoiced that
we have regulated everything in their lives as is done by wise parents who
desire to train children in the cause of duty and submission.
For the peoples of the
world in regard to the secrets of our polity are ever through the ages only
children under age, precisely as are also their governments.
21.
As you see, I found our
despotism on right and duty: the right to compel the execution of duty is the
direct obligation of a government which is a father for its subjects.
It has the right of the
strong that it may use it for the benefit of directing humanity towards that
order which is defined by nature, namely, submission.
Everything in the world is
in a state of submission, if not to man, then to circumstances or its own inner
character, in all cases, to what is stronger.
And so shall we be this
something stronger for the sake of good.
22.
We are obliged without
hesitation to sacrifice individuals, who commit a breach of established order,
for in the exemplary punishment of evil lies a great educational problem.
23.
When the King of Israel
sets upon his sacred head the crown offered him by Europe he will become
patriarch of the world.
The indispensable victims
offered by him in consequence of their suitability will never reach the number
of victims offered in the course of centuries by the mania of magnificence, the
emulation between the goy governments.
24.
Our King will be in
constant communion with the peoples, making to them from the tribune speeches
which fame will in that same hour distribute over all the world.
Protocol 16 - Brainwashing
1.
In order to effect the
destruction of all collective forces except ours we shall emasculate the first
stage of collectivism - the universities, by re-educating them in a new
direction.
Their officials and
professors will be prepared for their business by detailed secret programs of
action from which they will not with immunity diverge, not by one iota.
They will be appointed
with especial precaution, and will be so placed as to be wholly dependent upon
the government.
2.
We shall exclude from the
course of instruction State Law as also all that concerns the political
question.
These subjects will be
taught to a few dozen of persons chosen for their pre-eminent capacities from
among the number of the initiated.
The universities must no
longer send out from their halls milk sops concocting plans for a constitution,
like a comedy or a tragedy, busying themselves with questions of policy in
which even their own fathers never had any power of thought.
3.
The ill-guided
acquaintance of a large number of persons with questions of polity creates
Utopian dreamers and bad subjects, as you can see for yourselves from the
example of the universal education in this direction of the goyim.
We must introduce into
their education all those principles which have so brilliantly broken up their
order.
But when we are in power
we shall remove every kind of disturbing subject from the course of education
and shall make out of the youth obedient children of authority, loving him who
rules as the support and hope of peace and quiet.
We shall change history
4.
Classicism as also any
form of study of ancient history, in which there are more bad than good
examples, we shall replace with the study of the program of the future.
We shall erase from the
memory of men all facts of previous centuries which are undesirable to us, and
leave only those which depict all the errors of the government of the goyim.
The study of practical
life, of the obligations of order, of the relations of people one to another,
of avoiding bad and selfish examples, which spread the infection of evil, and similar
questions of an educative nature, will stand in the forefront of the teaching
program, which will be drawn up on a separate plan for each calling or state of
life, in no wise generalizing the teaching.
This treatment of the
question has special importance.
5.
Each state of life must be
trained within strict limits corresponding to its destination and work in life.
The occasional genius has
always managed and always will manage to slip through into other states of
life, but it is the most perfect folly for the sake of this rare occasional
genius to let through into ranks foreign to them the untalented who thus rob of
their places who belong to those ranks by birth or employment.
You know yourselves in
what all this has ended for the "goyim" who allowed this crying
absurdity.
6.
In order that he who rules
may be seated firmly in the hearts and minds of his subjects it is necessary
for the time of his activity to instruct the whole nation in the schools and on
the market places about this meaning and his acts and all his beneficent
initiatives.
7.
We shall abolish every
kind of freedom of instruction.
Learners of all ages have
the right to assemble together with their parents in the educational
establishments as it were in a club:
during these assemblies,
on holidays, teachers will read what will pass as free lectures on questions of
human relations, of the laws of examples, of the philosophy of new theories not
yet declared to the world.
These theories will be
raised by us to the stage of a dogma of faith as a traditional stage towards
our faith.
On the completion of this
exposition of our program of action in the present and the future I will read
you the principles of these theories.
8.
In a word, knowing by the
experience of many centuries that people live and are guided by ideas, that
these ideas are imbibed by people only by the aid of education provided with
equal success for all ages of growth, but of course by varying methods, we
shall swallow up and confiscate to our own use the last scintilla of
independence of thought, which we have for long past been directing towards
subjects and ideas useful for us.
The system of bridling
thought is already at work in the so-called system of teaching by object
lessons, the purpose of which is to turn the goyim into unthinking submissive
brutes waiting for things to be presented before their eyes in order to form an
idea of them
.... In France, one of our
best agents, Bourgeois, has already made public a new program of teaching by
object lessons.
Protocol 17 - Abuse of Authority
1.
The practice of advocacy
produces men cold, cruel, persistent, unprincipled, who in all cases take up an
impersonal, purely legal standpoint.
They have the inveterate
habit to refer everything to its value for the defense and not to the public
welfare of its results.
They do not usually
decline to undertake any defense whatever, they strive for an acquittal at all
costs, caviling over every petty crux of jurisprudence and thereby they
demoralize justice.
For this reason we shall
set this profession into narrow frames which will keep it inside this sphere of
executive public service.
Advocates, equally with
judges, will be deprived of the right of communication with litigant;
they will receive business
only from the court and will study it by notes of report and documents,
defending their clients after they have been interrogated in court on facts
that have appeared.
They will receive an
honorarium without regard to the quality of the defense.
This will render them mere
reporters on law-business in the interests of justice and as counterpoise to
the proctor who will be the reporter in the interests of prosecution;
this will shorten business
before the courts.
In this way will be
established a practice of honest unprejudiced defense conducted not from
personal interest but by conviction.
This will also, by the
way, remove the present practice of corrupt bargain between advocation to agree
only to let that side win which pays most .....
We Shall Destroy the Clergy
2.
We have long past taken
care to discredit the priesthood of "goyim," and thereby to ruin
their mission on earth which in these days might still be a great hindrance to
us.
Day by day its influence
on the peoples of the world is falling lower.
Freedom of conscience has
been declared everywhere, so that now only years divide us from the moment of
the complete wrecking of that Christian religion:
as to other religions we
shall have still less difficulty in dealing with them, but it would be
premature to speak of this now.
We shall act clericalism
and clericals into such narrow frames as to make their influence move in
retrogressive proportion to its former progress.
3.
When the time comes
finally to destroy the papal court the finger of an invisible hand will point
the nations towards this court.
When, however, the nations
fling themselves upon it, we shall come forward in the guise of its defenders
as if to save excessive bloodshed.
By this diversion we shall
penetrate to its very bowels and be sure we shall never come out again until we
have gnawed through the entire strength of this place.
4.
The king of the Jews will
be the real pope of the universe, the patriarch of the international church.
5.
But, in the meantime,
while we are re-educating youth in new traditional religions and afterwards in
ours, we shall not overtly lay a finger on existing churches, but we shall
fight against them by criticism calculated to produce schism. ....
6.
In general, then, our
contemporary press will continue to convict State affairs, religions,
incapacities of the goyim, always using the most unprincipled expressions in
order by every means to lower their prestige in the manner which can only be
practiced by the genius of our gifted tribe ....
7.
Our kingdom will be an
apologia of the divinity Vishnu, in whom is found its personification - in our
hundred hands will be, one in each, the springs of the machinery of social
life.
We shall see everything
without the aid of official police which, in that scope of its rights which we
elaborated for the use of the goyim, hinders governments from seeing.
In our programs one-third
of our subjects will keep the rest under observation from a sense of duty, on
the principle of volunteer service to the State.
It will then be no
disgrace to be a spy and informer, but a merit:
unfounded denunciations,
however, will be cruelly punished that there may be development of abuses of
this right.
8.
Our agents will be taken
from the higher as well as the lower ranks of society, from among the
administrative class who spend their time in amusements, editors, printers and
publishers, booksellers, clerks, and salesmen, workmen, coachmen, lackeys, et
cetera.
This body, having no
rights and not being empowered to take any action on their own account, and
consequently a police without any power, will only witness and report:
verification of their
reports and arrests will depend upon a responsible group of controllers of
police affairs, while the actual act of arrest will be performed by the
gendarmerie and the municipal police.
Any person not denouncing
anything seen or heard concerning questions of polity will also be charged with
and made responsible for concealment, if it be proved that he is guilty of this
crime.
9.
Just as nowadays our
brethren, are obliged at their own risk to denounce to the Kabal apostates of
their own family or members who have been noticed doing anything in opposition
to the Kabal, so in our kingdom over all the world it will be obligatory for
all our subjects to observe the duty of service to the state in this direction.
10.
Such an organization will
extirpate abuses of authority of force, of bribery, everything in fact which we
by our counsels, by out theories of the superhuman rights of man, have introduced
into the customs of the goyim ....
But how else were we to
procure that increase of causes predisposing to disorders in the midst of their
administration? ....
Among the number of those
methods one of the most important is - agents for the restoration of order, so
placed as to have the opportunity in their disintegrating activity of
developing and displaying their evil inclinations - obstinate self-conceit,
irresponsible exercise of authority, and, first and foremost, venality.
Protocol 18 - Arrest of Opponents
1.
When it becomes necessary
for us to strengthen the strict measures of secret defense (the most fatal
poison for the prestige of authority) we shall arrange a simulation of
disorders or some manifestation of discontents finding expression through the
co-operation of good speakers.
Round these speakers will
assemble all who are sympathetic to his utterances.
This will give us the
pretext for domiciliary prerequisitions and surveillance on the part of our
servants from among the number of the goyim police ....
2.
As the majority of
conspirators act of love for the game, for the sake of talking, so, until they
commit some overt act we shall not lay a finger on them but only introduce into
their midst observation elements ....
It must be remembered that
the prestige of authority is lessened if it frequently discovers conspiracies
against itself:
this implies a presumption
of consciousness of weakness, or, what is still worse, of injustice.
You are aware that we have
broken the prestige of the goy kings by frequent attempts upon their lives
through our agents, blind sheep of our flock, who are easily moved by a few
liberal phrases to crimes provided only they be painted in political colors.
We have compelled the
rulers to acknowledge their weakness in advertising overt measures of secrete
defense and thereby we shall bring the promise of authority to destruction.
3.
Our ruler will be secretly
protected only by the most insignificant guard, because we shall not admit so
much as a thought that there could exist against him any sedition with which he
is not strong enough to contend and is compelled to hide from it.
4.
If we should admit this
thought, as the goyim have done and are doing, we should ipso factoi be signing
a death sentence, if not for our ruler, at any rate for his dynasty, at no
distant date.
Government by Fear
5.
According to strictly
enforced outward appearances our ruler will employ his power only for the
advantage of the nation and in no wise for his own or dynastic profits.
Therefore, with the
observance of this decorum, his authority will be respected and guarded by the
subjects themselves, it will receive an apotheosis in the admission that with
it is bound up the well-being of every citizen of the State, for upon it will
depend all order in the common life of the pack ....
6.
Overt defense of the kind
argues weakness in the organization of his strength.
7.
Our ruler will always be
among the people and be surrounded by a mob of apparently curious men and
women, who will occupy the front ranks about him, to all appearance by chance,
and will restrain the ranks of the rest out of respect as it will appear for
good order.
This will sow an example
of restraint also in others.
If a petitioner appears
among the people trying to hand a petition and forcing his way through the
ranks, the first ranks must receive the petition and before the eyes of the
petitioner pass it to the ruler, so that all may know that what is handed in
reaches its destination, that consequently, there exists a control of the ruler
himself.
The aureole of power
requires for is existence that the people may be able to say:
"If the king knew of
this," or: "the king will hear it."
8.
With the establishment of
official defense, the mystical prestige of authority disappears: given a
certain audacity, and everyone counts himself master of it, the sedition-monger
is conscious of his strength, and when occasion serves watches for the moment
to make an attempt upon authority. ...
For the goyim we have been
preaching something else, but by that very fact we are enabled to see what
measures of overt defense have brought them to....
9.
Criminals with us will be
arrested at the first, more or less, well-grounded suspicion:
it cannot be allowed that
out of fear of a possible mistake an opportunity should be given of escape to
persons suspected of a political lapse of crime, for in these matters we shall
be literally merciless.
If it is still possible,
by stretching a point, to admit a reconsideration of the motive causes in
simple crimes, there is no possibility of excuse for persons occupying
themselves with questions in which nobody except the government can understand
anything...
And it is not all
governments that understand true policy.
Protocol 19 - Rulers and People
1.
If we do not permit any
independent dabbling in the political we shall on the other hand encourage
every kind of report or petition with proposals for the government to examine
into all kinds of projects for the amelioration of the condition of the people;
this will reveal to us the defects or else the fantasies of our subjects, to
which we shall respond either by accomplishing them or by a wise rebuttment to
prove the shortsightedness of one who judges wrongly.
2.
Sedition-mongering is nothing
more than the yapping of a lap-dog at an elephant. For a government well
organized, not from the police but from the public point of view, the lap-dog
yaps at the elephant in entire unconsciousness of its strength and importance.
It needs no more than to
take a good example to show the relative importance of both and the lap-dogs
will cease to yap and will wag their tails the moment they set eyes on an
elephant.
3.
In order to destroy the
prestige of heroism for political crime we shall send it for trial in the
category of thieving, murder, and every kind of abominable and filthy crime.
Public opinion will then
confuse in its conception of this category of crime with the disgrace attaching
to every other and will brand it with the same contempt.
4.
We have done our best, and
I hope we have succeeded to obtain that the goyim should not arrive at this
means of contending with sedition.
It was for this reason
that through the Press and in speeches, indirectly - in cleverly compiled
schoolbooks on history, we have advertised the martyrdom alleged to have been
accredited by sedition-mongers for the idea of the commonweal.
This advertisement has
increased the contingent of liberals and has brought thousands of goyim into
the ranks of our livestock cattle.
Protocol 20 - Financial Programme
1.
To-day we shall touch upon
the financial program, which I put off to the end of my report as being the
most difficult, the crowning and the decisive point of our plans.
Before entering upon it I
will remind you that I have already spoken before by way of a hint when I said
that the sum total of our actions is settled by the question of figures.
2.
When we come into our
kingdom our autocratic government will avoid, from a principle of
self-preservation, sensibly burdening the masses of the people with taxes,
remembering that it plays the part of father and protector.
But as State organization
cost dear it is necessary nevertheless to obtain the funds required for it.
It will, therefore,
elaborate with particular precaution the question of equilibrium in this
matter.
3.
Our rule, in which the
king will enjoy the legal fiction that everything in his State belongs to him
(which may easily be translated into fact), will be enabled to resort to the
lawful confiscation of all sums of every kind for the regulation of their
circulation in the State.
From this follows that
taxation will best be covered by a progressive tax on property.
In this manner the dues
will be paid without straitening or ruining anybody in the form of a percentage
of the amount of property.
The rich must be aware
that it is their duty to place a part of their superfluities at the disposal of
the State since the State guarantees them security of possession of the rest of
their property and the right of honest gains, I say honest, for the control
over property will do away with robbery on a legal basis.
4.
This social reform must
come from above, for the time is ripe for it - it is indispensable as a pledge
of peace.
We Shall Destroy Capital
5.
The tax upon the poor man
is a seed of revolution and works to the detriment of the State which is
hunting after the trifling is missing the big.
Quite apart from this, a
tax on capitalists diminishes the growth of wealth in private hands in which we
have in these days concentrated it as a counterpoise to the government strength
of the goyim - their State finances.
6.
A tax increasing in a
percentage ratio to capital will give much larger revenue than the present
individual or property tax, which is useful to us now for the sole reason that
it excites trouble and discontent among the goyim. (Now we know the purpose of
the 16th Amendment!!).
7.
The force upon which our
king will rest consists in the equilibrium and the guarantee of peace, for the
sake of which things it is indispensable that the capitalists should yield up a
portion of their incomes for the sake of the secure working of the machinery of
the State.
State needs must be paid
by those who will not feel the burden and have enough to take from.
8.
Such a measure will
destroy the hatred of the poor man for the rich, in whom he will see a
necessary financial support for the State, will see in him the organizer of
peace and well-being since he will see that it is the rich man who is paying
the necessary means to attain these things.
9.
In order that payers of
the educated classes should not too much distress themselves over the new
payments they will have full accounts given them of the destination of those
payments, with the exception of such sums as will be appropriated for the needs
of the throne and the administrative institutions.
10.
He who reigns will not
have any properties of his own once all in the State represented his patrimony,
or else the one would be in contradiction to the other; the fact of holding
private means would destroy the right of property in the common possessions of
all.
11.
Relatives of him who
reigns, his heirs excepted, who will be maintained by the resources of the
State, must enter the ranks of servants of the State or must work to obtain the
right to property; the privilege of royal blood must not serve for the spoiling
of the treasury.
12.
Purchase, receipt of money
or inheritance will be subject to the payment of a stamp progressive tax.
Any transfer of property,
whether money or other, without evidence of payment of this tax which will be
strictly registered by names, will render the former holder liable to pay
interest on the tax from the moment of transfer of these sums up to the
discovery of his evasion of declaration of the transfer.
Transfer documents must be
presented weekly at the local treasury office with notifications of the name,
surname and permanent place of residence of the former and the new holder of
the property.
This transfer with register
of names must begin from a definite sum which exceeds the ordinary expenses of
buying and selling necessaries, and these will be subject to payment only by a
stamp impost of a definite percentage of the unit.
13.
Just strike an estimate of
how many times such taxes as these will cover the revenue of the goyim States.
We Cause Depressions
14.
The State exchequer will
have to maintain a definite complement of reserve sums, and all that is
collected above that complement must be returned into circulation.
On these sums will be
organized public works.
The initiative in works of
this kind, proceeding from State sources, will blind the working class firmly
to the interests of the State and to those who reign.
From these same sums also
a part will be set aside as rewards of inventiveness and productiveness.
15.
On no account should so
much as a single unit above the definite and freely estimated sums be retained
in the State Treasuries, for money exists to be circulated and any kind of
stagnation of money acts ruinously on the running of the State machinery, for
which it is the lubricant; a stagnation of the lubricant may stop the regular
working of the mechanism.
16.
The substitution of
interest-bearing paper for a part of the token of exchange has produced exactly
this stagnation.
The consequences of this
circumstance are already sufficiently noticeable.
17.
A court of account will
also be instituted by us, and in it the ruler will find at any moment a full
accounting for State income and expenditure, with the exception of the current
monthly account, not yet made up, and that of the preceding month, which will
not yet have been delivered.
18.
The one and only person
who will have no interest in robbing the State is its owner, the ruler.
This is why his personal
control will remove the possibility of leakages of extravagances.
19.
The representative
function of the ruler at receptions for the sake of etiquette, which absorbs so
much invaluable time, will be abolished in order that the ruler may have time
for control and consideration.
His power will not then be
split up into fractional parts among time-serving favorites who surround the
throne for its pomp and splendor, and are interested only in their own and not
in the common interests of the State.
20.
Economic crises have been
produced by us for the goyim by no other means than the withdrawal of money
from circulation.
Huge capitals have
stagnated, withdrawing money from States, which were constantly obliged to
apply to those same stagnant capitals for loans.
These loans burdened the
finances of the State with the payment of interest and made them the bond
slaves of these capitals...
The concentration of
industry in the hands of capitalists out of the hands of small masters has
drained away all the juices of the peoples and with them also the States...
(Now we know the purpose
of the Federal Reserve Bank Corporation!!).
21.
The present issue of money
in general does not correspond with the requirements per head, and cannot
therefore satisfy all the needs of the workers.
The issue of money ought
to correspond with the growth of population and thereby children also must
absolutely be reckoned as consumers of currency from the day of their birth.
The revision of issue is a material question for the whole world.
22.
You are aware that the
gold standard has been the ruin of the states which adopted it, for it has not
been able to satisfy the demands for money, the more so that we have removed
gold from circulation as far as possible.
Gentile States Bankrupt
23.
With us the standard that
must be introduced is the cost of working-man power, whether it be reckoned in
paper or in wood.
We shall make the issue of
money in accordance with the normal requirements of each subject, adding to the
quantity with every birth and subtracting with every death.
24.
The accounts will be
managed by each department
(the French administrative
division), each circle.
25.
In order that there may be
no delays in the paying our of money for State needs the sums and terms of such
payments will be fixed by decree of the ruler; this will do away with the
protection by a ministry of one institution to the detriment of others.
26.
The budgets of income and
expenditure will be carried out side by side that they may not be obscured by
distance one to another.
27.
The reforms projected by
us in the financial institutions and principles of the goyim will be clothed by
us in such forms as will alarm nobody.
We shall point out the
necessity of reforms in consequence of the disorderly darkness into which the
goyim by their irregularities have plunged the finances.
The first irregularity, as
we shall point out, consists in their beginning with drawing up a single budget
which year after year grows owing to the following cause:
this budget is dragged out
to half the year, then they demand a budget to put things right, and this they
expend in three months, after which they ask for a supplementary budget, and
all this ends with a liquidation budget.
But, as the budget of the
following year is drawn up in accordance with the sum of the total addition,
the annual departure from the normal reaches as much as 50 per cent in a year,
and so the annual budget is trebled in ten years.
Thanks to such methods,
allowed by the carelessness of the goy States, their treasuries are empty.
The period of loans
supervenes, and that has swallowed up remainders and brought all the goy States
to bankruptcy.
28.
You understand perfectly
that economic arrangements of this kind, which have been suggested to the goyim
by us, cannot be carried on by us.
Every kind of loan proves infirmity in the State
29.
Every kind of loan proves
infirmity in the State and a want of understanding of the rights of the State.
Loans hang like a sword of
Damocles over the heads of rulers, who, instead of taking from their subjects
by a temporary tax, come begging with outstretched palm of our bankers.
Foreign loans are leeches
which there is no possibility of removing from the body of the State until they
fall off of themselves or the State flings them off.
But the goy States do not
tear them off; they go on in persisting in putting more on to themselves so
that they must inevitably perish, drained by voluntary blood-letting.
Tyranny of Usury
30.
What also indeed is, in
substance, a loan, especially a foreign loan?
A loan is - an issue of
government bills of exchange containing a percentage obligation commensurate to
the sum of the loan capital.
If the loan bears a charge
of 5 per cent, then in twenty years the State vainly pays away in interest a
sum equal to the loan borrowed, in forty years it is paying a double sum, in
sixty - treble, and all the while the debt remains an unpaid debt.
31.
From this calculation it
is obvious that with any form of taxation per head the State is baling out the
last coppers of the poor taxpayers in order to settle accounts with wealth
foreigners, from whom it has borrowed money instead of collecting these coppers
for its own needs without the additional interest.
32.
So long as loans were
internal the goyim only shuffled their money from the pockets of the poor to
those of the rich, but when we bought up the necessary person in order to
transfer loans into the external sphere, all the wealth of States flowed into
our cash boxes and all the goyim began to pay us the tribute of subjects.
33.
If the superficiality of
goy kings on their thrones in regard to State affairs and the venality of
ministers or the want of understanding of financial matters on the part of
other ruling persons have made their countries debtors to our treasuries to
amounts quite impossible to pay it has not been accomplished without, on our
part, heavy expenditure of trouble and money.
34.
Stagnation of money will
not be allowed by us and therefore there will be no State interest-bearing
paper, except a one per-cent series, so that there will be no payment of
interest to leeches that suck all the strength out of the State.
The right to issue
interest-bearing paper will be given exclusively to industrial companies who
will find no difficulty in paying interest out of profits, whereas the State
does not make interest on borrowed money like these companies, for the State
borrows to spend and not to use in operations.
(Now we know why President
Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 when he refused to borrow any more of the
"Bank Notes" from the bankers of the Federal Reserve Bank and began
circulating non-interest bearing "Notes" of the "United States
of America"!!!).
35.
Industrial papers will be
bought also by the government which from being as now a paper of tribute by
loan operations will be transformed into a lender of money at a profit.
This measure will stop the
stagnation of money, parasitic profits and idleness, all of which were useful
for us among the goyim so long as they were independent but are not desirable
under our rule.
36.
How clear is the
undeveloped power of thought of the purely brute brains of the goyim, as
expressed in the fact that they have been borrowing from us with payment of interest
without ever thinking that all the same these very moneys plus an addition for
payment of interest must be got by them from their own State pockets in order
to settle up with us.
What could have been
simpler than to take the money they wanted from their own people?
37.
But it is a proof of the
genius of our chosen mind that we have contrived to present the matter of loans
to them in such a light that they have even seen in them an advantage for
themselves.
38.
Our accounts, which we
shall present when the time comes, in the light of centuries of experience
gained by experiments made by us on the goy States, will be distinguished by
clearness and definiteness and will show at a glance to all men the advantage
of our innovations.
They will put an end to
those abuses to which we owe our mastery over the goyim, but which cannot be
allowed in our kingdom.
39.
We shall so hedge about
our system of accounting that neither the ruler nor the most insignificant
public servant will be in a position to divert even the smallest sum from its
destination without detection or to direct it in another direction except that
which will be once fixed in a definite plan of action.
40.
And without a definite
plan it is impossible to rule.
Marching along an
undetermined road and with undetermined resources brings to ruin by the way
heroes and demi-gods.
41.
The goy rulers, whom we
once upon a time advised should be distracted from State occupations by
representative receptions, observances of etiquette, entertainments, were only
screens for our rule.
The accounts of favorite
courtiers who replaced them in the sphere of affairs were drawn up for them by
our agents, and every time gave satisfaction to short-sighted minds by promises
that in the future economics and improvements were foreseen ....
Economics from what? From
new taxes? - were questions that might have been but were not asked by those
who read our accounts and projects.
42.
You know to what they have
been brought by this carelessness, to what pitch of financial disorder they
have arrived, notwithstanding the astonishing industry of their peoples ....
Protocol 21 - Loans and Credit
1.
To what I reported to you
at the last meeting I shall now add a detailed explanation of internal loans.
Of foreign loans I shall
say nothing more, because they have fed us with national moneys of the goyim,
but for our State there will be no foreigners, that is, nothing external.
2.
We have taken advantage of
the venality of administrators and slackness of rulers to get our moneys twice,
thrice and more times over, by lending to the goy governments moneys which were
not at all needed by the States.
Could anyone do the like
in regard to us?...
Therefore, I shall only
deal with the details of internal loans.
3.
States announce that such
a loan is to be concluded and open subscriptions for their own bills of
exchange, that is, for their interest-bearing paper.
That they may be within
the reach of all the price is determined at from a hundred to a thousand; and a
discount is made for the earliest subscribers.
Next day by artificial
means the price of them goes up, the alleged reason being that everyone is
rushing to buy them.
In a few days the treasury
safes are as they say overflowing and there's more money than they can do with.
The subscription, it is
alleged, covers many times over the issue total of the loan; in this lies the
whole stage effect - look you, they say, what confidence is shown in the
government's bills of exchange.
4.
But when the comedy is
played out there emerges the fact that a debit and an exceedingly burdensome
debit has been created.
For the payment of
interest it becomes necessary to have recourse to new loans, which do not
swallow up but only add to the capital debt.
And when this credit is exhausted
it becomes necessary by new taxes to cover, not the loan, but only the interest
on it. These taxes are a debit employed to cover a debit ....
5.
Later comes the time for
conversions, but they diminish the payment of interest without covering the
debt, and besides they cannot be made without the consent of the lenders;
on announcing a conversion
a proposal is made to return the money to those who are not willing to convert
their paper.
If everybody expressed his
unwillingness and demanded his money back, the government would be hooked on
their own files and would be found insolvent and unable to pay the proposed
sums.
By good luck the subjects
of the goy governments, knowing nothing about financial affairs, have always
preferred losses on exchange and diminution of interest to the risk of new
investments of their moneys, and have thereby many a time enabled these
governments to throw off their shoulders a debit of several millions.
6.
Nowadays, with external
loans, these tricks cannot be played by the goyim for they know that we shall
demand all our moneys back.
7.
In this way in
acknowledged bankruptcy will best prove to the various countries the absence of
any means between the interest of the peoples and of those who rule them.
8.
I beg you to concentrate
your particular attention upon this point and upon the following:
nowadays all internal
loans are consolidated by so-called flying loans, that is, such as have terms
of payment more or less near.
These debts consist of
moneys paid into the savings banks and reserve funds.
If left for long at the
disposition of a government these funds evaporate in the payment of interest on
foreign loans, and are placed by the deposit of equivalent amount of rents.
9.
And these last it is which
patch up all the leaks in the State treasuries of the goyim.
10.
When we ascend the throne
of the world all these financial and similar shifts, as being not in accord
with our interests, will be swept away so as not to leave a trace, as also will
be destroyed all money markets, since we shall not allow the prestige of our
power to be shaken by fluctuations of prices set upon our values, which we
shall announce by law at the price which represents their full worth without
any possibility of lowering or raising.
(Raising gives the pretext
for lowering, which indeed was where we made a beginning in relation to the
values of the goyim.)
11.
We shall replace the money
markets by grandiose government credit institutions, the object of which will
be to fix the price of industrial values in accordance with government views.
These institutions will be
in a position to fling upon the market five hundred millions of industrial
paper in one day, or to buy up for the same amount.
In this way all industrial
undertakings will come into dependence upon us. You may imagine for yourselves
what immense power we shall thereby secure for ourselves ....
Protocol 22 - Power of Gold
1.
In all that has so far
been reported by me to you, I have endeavored to depict with care the secret of
what is coming, of what is past, and of what is going on now, rushing into the
flood of the great events coming already in the near future, the secret of our
relations to the goyim and of financial operations.
On this subject there
remains still a little for me to add.
2.
In our hands is the
greatest power of our day - gold:
In two days we can procure
from our storehouses any quantity we may please.
3.
Surely there is no need to
seek further proof that our rule is predestined by God?
Surely we shall not fail
with such wealth to prove that all that evil which for so many centuries we
have had to commit has served at the end of ends the cause of true well-being -
the bringing of everything into order?
Though it be even by the
exercise of some violence, yet all the same it will be established.
We shall contrive to prove
that we are benefactors who have restored to the rent and mangled earth the
true good and also freedom of the person, and therewith we shall enable it to
be enjoyed in peace and quiet, with proper dignity of relations, on the
condition, of course, of strict observance of the laws established by us.
We shall make plain
therewith that freedom does not consist in dissipation and in the right of
unbridled license any more than the dignity and force of a man do not consist
in the right of everyone to promulgate destructive principles in the nature of
freedom of conscience, equality and a like, that freedom of the person in no
wise consists in the right to agitate oneself and others by abominable speeches
before disorderly mobs, and that true freedom consists in the inviolability of
the person who honorably and strictly observes all the laws of life in common,
that human dignity is wrapped up in consciousness of the rights and also of the
absence of rights of each, and not wholly and solely in fantastic imaginings
about the subject of one's ego.
4.
One authority will be
glorious because it will be all-powerful, will rule and guide, and not muddle
along after leaders and orators shrieking themselves hoarse with senseless
words which they call great principles and which are noting else, to speak
honestly, but Utopian...
Our authority will be the
crown of order, and in that is included the whole happiness of man.
The aureole of this authority
will inspire a mystical bowing of the knee before it and a reverent fear before
it of all the peoples.
True force makes no terms
with any right, not even with that of God: none dare come near to it so as to
take so much as a span from it away.
Protocol 23 - Instilling Obedience
1.
That the peoples may
become accustomed to obedience it is necessary to inculcate lessons of humility
and therefore to reduce the production of articles of luxury.
By this we shall improve
morals which have been debased by emulation in the sphere of luxury.
We shall re-establish
small master production which will mean laying a mine under the private capital
of manufactures.
This is indispensable also
for the reason that manufacturers on the grand scale often move, though not
always consciously, the thoughts of the masses in directions against the
government.
A people of small masters
knows nothing of unemployment and this binds him closely with existing order,
and consequently with the firmness of authority.
For us its part will have
been played out the moment authority is transferred into our hands.
Drunkenness also will be
prohibited by law and punishable as a crime against humanness of man who is
turned into a brute under the influence of alcohol.
2.
Subjects, I repeat once
more, give blind obedience only to the strong hand which is absolutely
independent of them, for in it they feel the sword of defense and support
against social scourges...
What do they want with an
angelic spirit in a king? What they have to see in him is the personification
of force and power.
3.
The supreme lord who will
replace all now existing ruler, dragging in their existence among societies
demoralized by us, societies that have denied even the authority of God, from
whose midst breads out on all sides the fire of anarchy, must first of all
proceed to quench this all-devouring flame.
Therefore, he will be
obliged to kill off those existing societies, though he should drench them with
his own blood, that he may resurrect them again in the form of regularly
organized troops fighting consciously with every kind of infection that may
cover the body of the State with sores.
4.
This Chosen One of God is
chosen from above to demolish the senseless forces moved by instinct and not
reason, by brutishness and humanness.
These forces now triumph
in manifestations of robbery and every kind of violence under the mask of
principles of freedom and every kind of violence under the mask of principles
of freedom and rights.
They have overthrown all
forms of social order to erect on the ruins of the throne of the King of the
Jews; but their part will be played out the moment he enters into his kingdom.
Then it will be necessary
to sweep them away from his path, on which must be left no knot, no splinter.
5.
Then will it be possible
for us to say to the peoples of the world: Give thanks to God and bow the knee
before him who bears on his front the seal of the predestination of man, to
which God himself has led his star that none other but Him might free us from
all the before-mentioned forces and evils.
Protocol 24 - Qualities of the Ruler
1.
I pass now to the method
of confirming the dynastic roots of King David to the last strata of the earth.
2.
This confirmation will
first and foremost be included in that which to this day has rested the force
of conservatism by our learned elders of the conduct of the affairs of the
world, in the directing of the education of thought of all humanity.
3.
Certain members of the
seed of David will prepare the kings and their heirs, selecting not by right of
heritage but by eminent capacities, inducting them into the most secret
mysteries of the political, into schemes of government, but providing always
that none may come to knowledge of the secrets.
The object of this mode of
action is that all may know that government cannot be entrusted to those who
have not been inducted into the secret places of its art ....
4.
To these persons only will
be taught the practical application of the aforenamed plans by comparison of
the experiences of many centuries, all the observations on the
politico-economic moves and social sciences - in a word, all the spirit of laws
which have been unshakably established by nature herself for the regulation of
the relations of humanity.
5.
Direct heirs will often be
set aside from ascending the throne if in their time of training they exhibit
frivolity, softness and other qualities that are the ruin of authority, which
render them incapable of governing and in themselves dangerous for kingly
office.
6.
Only those who are
unconditionally capable for firm, even if it be to cruelty, direct rule will
receive the reins of rule from our learned elders.
7.
In case of falling sick
with weakness of will or other form of incapacity, kings must by law hand over
the reins of rule to new and capable hands.
8.
The king's plan of action
for the current moment, and all the more so for the future, will be unknown,
even to those who are called his closest counselors.
King of the Jews
9.
Only the king and the
three who stood sponsor for him will know what is coming.
10.
In the person of the king
who with unbending will is master of himself and of humanity all will discern
as it were fate with its mysterious ways.
None will know what the
king wishes to attain by his dispositions, and therefore none will dare to
stand across an unknown path.
11.
It is understood that the
brain reservoir of the king must correspond in capacity to the plan of
government it has to contain.
It is for this reason that
he will ascend the throne not otherwise than after examination of his mind by
the aforesaid learned elders.
12.
That the people may know
and love their king, it is indispensable for him to converse in the
market-places with his people. This ensures the necessary clinching of the two
forces which are now divided one from another by us by the terror.
13.
This terror was
indispensable for us till the time comes for both these forces separately to
fall under our influence.
14.
The king of the Jews must
not be at the mercy of his passions, and especially of sensuality: on no side
of his character must he give brute instincts power over his mind.
Sensuality worse than all
else disorganizes the capacities of the mind and clearness of views,
distracting the thoughts to the worst and most brutal side of human activity.
15.
The prop of humanity in
the person of the supreme lord of all the world of the holy seed of David must
sacrifice to his people all personal inclinations.
16.
Our supreme lord must be
of an exemplary irreproachable.
