The author of this translation of
the famous Protocols was himself a victim of the Revolution. He had lived for
many years in Russia and was married to a Russian lady. Among his other
activities in Russia he had been for a number of years a Russian Correspondent
of the MORNING POST, a position which he occupied when the Revolution broke
out, and his vivid descriptions of events in Russia will still be in the
recollection of many of the readers of that Journal. Naturally he was singled
out for the anger of the Soviet. On the day that Captain Cromie was murdered by
Jews, Victor Marsden was arrested and thrown into the Peter-Paul Prison,
expecting every day to have his name called out for execution. This, however,
he escaped, and eventually he was allowed to return to England very much of a
wreck in bodily health. However, he recovered under treatment and the devoted
care of his wife and friends. One of the first things he undertook, as soon as
he was able, was this translation of the Protocols. Mr. Marsden was
eminently well qualified for the work. His intimate acquaintance with Russia,
Russian life and the Russian language on the one hand, and his mastery of a
terse literary English style on the other, placed him in a position of
advantage which few others could claim. The consequence is that we have in his
version an eminently readable work, and though the subject-matter is somewhat
formless, Mr. Marsden's literary touch reveals the thread running through the
twenty-four Protocols.
It may be said with truth that this
work was carried out at the cost of Mr. Marsden's own life's blood. He told the
writer of this Preface that he could not stand more than an hour at a
time of his work on it in the British Museum, as the diabolical spirit of the
matter which he was obliged to turn into English made him positively ill.
Mr. Marsden's connection with the
MORNING POST was not severed by his return to England, and he was well enough
to accept the post of special correspondent of that journal in the suite of
H.R.H., the Prince of Wales on his Empire tour. From this he returned with the
Prince, apparently in much better health, but within a few days of his landing
he was taken suddenly ill, and died after a very brief illness.
May this work be his crowning
monument! In it he has performed an immense service to the English-speaking
world, and there can be little doubt that it will take its place in the first
rank of the English versions of "THE PROTOCOLS of the Meetings of the
LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION."
Of the Protocols themselves
little need be said in the way of introduction. The book in which they are
embodied was first published in the year 1897 by Philip Stepanov for private
circulation among his intimate friends. The first time Nilus published them was
in 1901 in a book called The
Great Within the Small and
reprinted in 1905. A copy of this is in the British Museum bearing the date of
its reception, August 10, 1906. All copies that were known to exist in Russia
were destroyed in the Kerensky regime, and under his successors the possession
of a copy by anyone in Soviet land was a crime sufficient to ensure the owner's
of being shot on sight. The fact is in itself sufficient proof of the
genuineness of the Protocols. The Jewish journals, of course, say that
they are a forgery, leaving it to be understood that Professor Nilus, who
embodied them in a work of his own, had concocted them for his own purposes.
Mr. Henry Ford, in an interview
published in the New York WORLD, February 17th, 1921, put the case for Nilus
tersely and convincingly thus:
"The only statement I care to
make about the PROTOCOLS is that they fit in with what is going on. They are
sixteen years old, and they have fitted the world situation up to this time.
THEY FIT IT NOW."
Indeed they do! The word "Protocol" signifies
a precis gummed on to the front of a document, a draft of a document, minutes
of proceedings. In this instance, "Protocol" means minutes of
the proceedings of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of Zion. These Protocols
give the substance of addresses delivered to the innermost circle of the Rulers
of Zion. They reveal the converted plan of action of the Jewish Nation
developed through the ages and edited by the Elders themselves up to date.
Parts and summaries of the plan have been published from time to time during
the centuries as the secrets of the Elders have leaked out. The claim of the
Jews that the Protocols are forgeries is in itself an admission of their
genuineness, for they NEVER ATTEMPT TO ANSWER THE FACTS corresponding to the
THREATS which the Protocols contain, and, indeed, the correspondence
between prophecy and fulfillment is too glaring to be set aside or obscured.
This the Jews well know and therefore evade.
Captain A.H.M. Ramsay records in his
classic, The Nameless War: "According to a letter published in "Plain
English" (a weekly review published by the North British Publishing
Co. and edited by the late Lord Alfred Douglas) on 3rd September, 1921:-
"The Learned Elders have been
in existence for a much longer period than they have perhaps suspected. My
friend, Mr. L. D. van Valckert, of Amsterdam, has recently sent me a letter
containing two extracts from the Synagogue at Mulheim. The volume in which they
are contained was lost at some period during the Napoleonic Wars, and has
recently come into Mr. van Valckert's possession. It is written in German, and
contains extracts of letters sent and received by the authorities of the
Mulheim Synagogue. The first entry he sends me is of a letter received:-
16th June, 1647.
From O.C. (i.e. Oliver Cromwell), by
Ebenezer Pratt.
"In return for financial
support will advocate admission of Jews to England: This however impossible
while Charles living. Charles cannot be executed without trial, adequate
grounds for which do not at present exist. Therefore advise that Charles be
assassinated, but will have nothing to do with arrangements for procuring an
assassin, though willing to help in his escape."
In reply was dispatched the
following:-
12th July, 1647.
To O.C. by E. Pratt.
"Will grant financial aid as
soon as Charles removed and Jews admitted. Assassination too dangerous. Charles
shall be given opportunity to escape: His recapture will make trial and execution
possible. The support will be liberal, but useless to discuss terms until trial
commences."
Captain Ramsay quotes Isaac
Disraeli, father of Benjamin, Earl of Beaconsfield, Britain's first Jewish
Prime Minister, in his two volume "Life of Charles I",
published in 1851: "The English Revolution under Charles I was unlike
any preceding one . . . From that time and event we contemplate in our history
the phases of revolution." There were many more to follow on similar
lines, notably in France. In 1897 a further important clue to these mysterious
happenings fell into Gentile hands in the shape of the Protocols of the
Elders of Zion.
In that document we read this
remarkable sentence: "Remember the French Revolution, the secrets of
its preparation are well known to us for it was entirely the work of our
hands." (See Protocol No. III, XIV).
In 1865 a certain Jewish Rabbi named
Rzeichorn delivered a speech at Prague. It is a very accurate summary of many
aspects of the Protocols
which would come to light several decades later and was published eleven years
later by Sir John Radcliff, who was assassinated shortly afterwards, giving
testimony to the powers of the secret organisation of inner elite Jewry even
then.
The presumption is strong that the Protocols
were issued, or reissued, at the First Zionist Congress held at Basle in 1897
under the presidency of the Father of Modern Zionism, the late Theodore Herzl.
There has been recently published a volume of Herzl's "Diaries," a
translation of some passages which appeared in the JEWISH CHRONICLE of July 14,
1922. Herzl gives an account of his first visit to England in 1895, and his
conversation with Colonel Goldsmid, a Jew brought up as a Christian, an officer
in the English Army, and at heart a Jew Nationalist all the time. Goldsmid
suggested to Herzl that the best way of expropriating the English aristocracy,
and so destroying their power to protect the people of England against Jew
domination, was to put excessive taxes on the land. Herzl thought this an
excellent idea, and it is now to be found definitely embodied in Protocol VI!
The above extract from Herzl's DIARY is an extremely significant bit of
evidence bearing on the existence of the Jew World Plot and authenticity of the
Protocols, but any reader of intelligence will be able from his own
knowledge of recent history and from his own experience to confirm the
genuineness of every line of them, and it is in the light of this LIVING
comment that all readers are invited to study Mr. Marsden's translation of this
terribly inhuman document. Here is what Dr. Ehrenpreis, Chief Rabbi of Sweden,
said in 1924, concerning the Protocols: "Long have I been well
acquainted with the contents of the Protocols, indeed for many years
before they were ever published in the Christian press. The Protocols of the
Elders of Zion were in point of fact not the original Protocols at all, but a
compressed extract of the same. Of the 70 Elders of Zion, in the matter of
origin and of the existence of the original Protocols, there are only
ten men in the entire world who know.
I participated with Dr. Herzl in the
first Zionist Congress which was held in Basle in 1897. Herzl was the most
prominent figure at the Jewish World Congress. Herzl foresaw, twenty years
before we experienced them, the revolution which brought the Great War, and he
prepared us for that which was to happen. He foresaw the splitting up of
Turkey, that England would obtain control of Palestine. We may expect important
developments in the world."
And here is another very significant
circumstance.The present successor of Herzl, as leader of the Zionist movement,
Dr. Weizmann, quoted one of these sayings at the send-off banquet given to
Chief Rabbi Hertz on October 6, 1920. The Chief Rabbi was on the point of
leaving for HIS Empire tour of H.R.H., the Prince of Wales. And this is the
"saying" of the Sages which Dr. Weizmann quoted: "A
beneficent protection which God has instituted in the life of the Jew is that
He has dispersed him all over the world." (JEWISH GUARDIAN, Oct. 8,
1920.)
Now compare this with the last
clause of but one of Protocol XI.
"God has granted to us, His
Chosen People, the gift of dispersion, and from this, which appears to 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."
The remarkable correspondence
between these passages proves several things. It proves that the Learned Elders
exist. It proves that Dr. Weizmann knows all about them. It proves that the
desire for a "National Home" in Palestine is only camouflage
and an infinitesimal part of the Jew's real object. It proves that the Jews of
the world have no intention of settling in Palestine or any separate country,
and that their annual prayer that they may all meet "Next Year in
Jerusalem" is merely a piece of their characteristic make-believe. It
also demonstrates that the Jews are now a world menace, and that the Aryan
races will have to domicile them permanently out of Europe..
This is a secret which has not been
revealed. They are the Hidden Hand. They are not the "Board of
Deputies" (the Jewish Parliament in England) or the "Universal
Israelite Alliance" which sits in Paris. But the late Walter Rathenau
of the Allgemeiner Electricitaets Gesellschaft has thrown a little light on the
subject and doubtless he was in possession of their names, being, in all
likelihood, one of the chief leaders himself. Writing in the WIENER FREIE
PRESSE, December 24, 1912, he said:
"Three hundred men, each of
whom knows all the others, govern the fate of the European continent, and they
elect their successors from their entourage."
In the year 1844, on the eve of the
Jewish Revolution of 1848, Benjamin Disraeli, whose real name was Israel, and
who was a "damped," or baptized Jew, published his novel,
CONINGSBY, in which occurs this ominous passage: "The world is governed by
very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the
scenes."
And he went on to show that these
personages were all Jews. Now that Providence has brought to the light of day
these secret Protocols all men may clearly see the hidden personages
specified by Disraeli at work "behind the scenes" of all the
Governments. This revelation entails on all peoples the grave responsibility of
examining and revising AU FOND their attitude towards the Race and Nation which
boasts of its survival over all Empires.
Notes I. - "Agentur" and "The
Political." There are two words in this
translation which are unusual, the word "AGENTUR" and
"political" used as a substantive, AGENTUR appears to be a word
adopted from the original and it means the whole body of agents and agencies
made use of by the Elders, whether members of the tribe or their Gentile tools.
By "the Political"
Mr. Marsden means, not exactly the "body politic" but the
entire machinery of politics.
Notes II - The Symbolic Snake of
Judaism. Protocol III opens with a reference to the Symbolic Snake of
Judaism. In his Epilogue to the 1905 Edition of the Protocols, Nilus gives the
following interesting account of this symbol: "According to the records of
secret Jewish Zionism, Solomon and other Jewish learned men already, in 929BC,
thought out a scheme in theory for a peaceful conquest of the whole universe by
Zion.
"As history developed, this scheme was worked out in detail and completed
by men who were subsequently initiated in this question. These learned men
decided by peaceful means to conquer the world for Zion with the slyness of the
Symbolic Snake, whose head was to represent those who have been initiated into
the plans of the Jewish administration, and the body of the Snake to represent
the Jewish people—the administration was always kept secret, EVEN FROM THE
JEWISH NATION ITSELF. As this Snake penetrated into the hearts of the nations
which it encountered. it undermined and devoured all the non-Jewish power of
these States. It is foretold that the Snake has still to finish its work,
strictly adhering to the designed plan, until the course which it has to run is
closed by the return of its head to Zion and until, by this means, the Snake
has completed its round of Europe and has encircled it—and until, by dint of
enchaining Europe, it has encompassed the whole world. This it is to accomplish
by using every endeavor to subdue the other countries by an ECONOMICAL
CONQUEST.
"The return of the head of the Snake to Zion can only be accomplished
after the power of all the Sovereigns of Europe has been laid low, that is to
say, when by means of economic crises and wholesale destruction effected
everywhere, there shall have been brought about a spiritual demoralization and
a moral corruption, chiefly with the assistance of Jewish women masquerading as
French, Italians, etc.. These are the surest spreaders of licentiousness into
the lives of the leading men at the heads of nations.
A map of the course of the Symbolic Snake is shown as follows: -
Its first stage in Europe was in 429BC in Greece, where, about the time of
Pericles, the Snake first started eating into the power of that country. The
second stage was in Rome in the time of Augustus, about 69BC. The third in
Madrid in the time of Charles V, in AD1552. The fourth in Paris about 1790, in
the time of Louis XVI. The fifth in London from 1814 onwards (after the
downfall of Napoleon). The sixth in Berlin in 1871 after the Franco-Prussian
war. The seventh in St. Petersburg, over which is drawn the head of the Snake
under the date of 1881.
This "Snake" is now being drawn through the Americas and in the
United States of America, it has been partially identified as the "Council
on Foreign Relations" (C.F.R.) and the "Trilateral Commission"].
All these States which the Snake traversed have had the foundations of their
constitutions shaken, Germany, with its apparent power, forming no exception to
the rule. In economic conditions, England and Germany are spared, but only till
the conquest of Russia is accomplished by the Snake, on which at present [i.e.,
1905] all its efforts are concentrated. The further course of the Snake is not
shown on this map, but arrows indicate its next movement towards Moscow, Kieft
and Odessa. It is now well known to us to what extent the latter cities form
the centres of the militant Jewish race. Constantinople is shown as the last
stage of the Snake's course before it reaches Jerusalem. (This map was drawn
years before the occurrence of the "Young Turk"—i.e., Jewish—Revolution
in Turkey).
PROTOCOLS OF THE MEETINGS
OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION
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.
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; afterwards - to Law, which is
the same force, only disguised. I draw the conclusion that by the law of
nature, right lies in force.
6. 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
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.
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 irretrievably 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. 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 commonweal, be
called immoral and not permissible?
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.
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 IS
MIGHT
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.
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.
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.
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.
19. Only one trained from childhood for
independent rule can have understanding of the words that can be made up of the
political alphabet.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
WE SHALL
END LIBERTY
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; 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.
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. On the ruins of the natural
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.
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.
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.
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.
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, 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.
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.
DESTRUCTIVE
EDUCATION
3. Do not suppose for a moment that these
statements are empty words: think carefully of the successes we arranged for
Darwinism (Evolution), Marxism (Communism), Nietzsche-ism (Socialism). 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.
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 out 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; 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.
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
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. (The Biblical "Anti-Christ?")
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 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 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 [the Philadelphes (i.e.
French branch of the Illuminati)]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 No. 4
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.
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 loseness
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.
(League of Nations and subsequent United Nations Organization - Ed.).
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 ... (Compulsory superannuation, Social
Security).
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 THEREWITH 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.
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.
6. In a word, to sum up our system of keeping the governments of the goyim
in Europe in check, we shall show our strength to one of them by terrorist
attempts and to all, if we allow the possibility of a general rising against
us, we shall respond with the guns of America or China or Japan. (The
Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905; Japan; Iraq and Afghanistan - Ed.).
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.
(Genocide Convention? U.N. Declaration of the Rights of the
Child?) 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
(Rhodes Scholars? London School of Economics?) 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, (
As Margaret Thatcher signed-away British sovereignty by the Maastricht Treaty?
As Australian Parliamentarians signed over 2,000 U.N. Treaties . . . unread?)
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.
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 PRO FORMA 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.
(Anti-Semitism is a
mechanism devised and controlled by World Jewry).
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
questings 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.
WORLD
CONQUEST THROUGH WORLD JEWISH GOVERNMENT
THE PROTOCOLS
OF THE
LEARNED ELDERS
OF ZION
1. To-day I begin with a repetition of what I said before, and I BEG YOU TO
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.
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 "TALKERIES" 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 same 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. (
Iran? Grenada? Kuwait? Iraq? Panama?
Somalia? Bosnia? Kosovo? Indonesia?)
14. It is easy to understand that 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, fall upon the responsibility established
by us 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.
(Presidential Decrees
such as F.D.R. employed to debase the US dollar and steal the gold and to place
the U.S. under a permanent State of Emergency and War against its own
citizens?)
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.
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 (1) in the guise of proposals to the Legislative Corps, (2)
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, (3) 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 SECRET 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.
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 lay 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 the 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 ON 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 voraciously. 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. Before accepting any
production for publication 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,
opposition, 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 PLENITUDE 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.
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, (
have we not trained people
always to be seeking something new?). 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 securing 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
(which we trained them to
in order to use them as a means of combating the GOY governments) 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
unaccustomed 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, for truth is one, and in it there is no place
for progress. Progress, 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
No. 14
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. (This "religion of Moses,"
the so-called "Oral Torah" or Babylonian Talmud, is the antithesis of
Moses and the Prophets).
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.
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, like Waco? Randy Weaver? Port
Arthur? Oklahoma?) 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 ITS 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
high 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 unquestioning 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
interests 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 educational basis of human life.
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 must 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 appeal, 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 quash 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 interrelation 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.
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 THOSE
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.
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 litigants;
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 THE
"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 set
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.
(Karl Rothschild acted
as "peacemaker" between the Vatican and her enemies, loaning the
Vatican five million pounds in a period of difficulty. Gregory XVI conferred a
Papal decoration on Kalman Rothschild since when Rothschilds have been
"Guardians of the Vatican Treasury").
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 . . .
(Calling
the Jim Jones massacre in Guyana a mass suicide, not a C.I.A./MK-ULTRA/U.S.
Government massacre? Denying the massacre of the Branch Dravidian sect at Waco,
Texas, was a needless and deliberate massacre by the B.A.T.F./F.B.I/C.I.A/U.S.
Government).
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 no 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 KAHAL APOSTATES OF THEIR OWN FAMILY or members who have been noticed
doing anything in opposition to the KAHAL, 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 our 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.
(Janet
Reno? B.A.T.F.? C.I.A.?)
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 ...
(Australia's One
Nation Party? A.D.L./B'nai B'rith activities against the peace?)
2. As the majority of conspirators act out 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 SECRET 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 FACTO 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 his 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.
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
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 school-books 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.
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 in 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 bind 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 or 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 out 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. (The United States was declared
"bankrupt"
at the Geneva Convention of 1929! [see 31 USC 5112, 5118, and 5119).
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.
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 to 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 wealthy 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 persons in order to transfer loans into the external sphere,
(Woodrow
Wilson and F.D. Roosevelt) 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 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.
(Is this why a "private corporation," known as the
"Internal Revenue Service," is in charge of collecting the
"payments" of the "Income Taxes" and the IRS always
deposits those "payments" to the Federal Reserve bank and never to
the Treasury of the United States??)
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.
(Like the House of Windsor
(Guelph) and the rest of the "Black Nobility"?) 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 economies and improvements were foreseen ....
Economies 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 ....
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 the 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
(why then take it?) 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 ....
(Hence THE CRY TO
BALANCE THE BUDGET!)
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 hoist on their own petard 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 interests 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 ....
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.
(The motto of the Freemasons - "Out of Chaos,
Order"). 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 the 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
nothing 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.
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 the 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 rulers, dragging in
their existence among societies demoralized by us, societies that have denied
even the authority of God, from whose midst breeds 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 not humanness.
These forces now triumph in manifestations of robbery 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 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
No. 24
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 irreproachability. przion7.htm
