PROTOCOL 3
METHODS OF CONQUEST
The Symbolic Snake "Peoples Rights" Liquidation of the Goyim
"Sovereign Lord of the World"
Universal economic crisis "Ours
they will not touch
" Secret masonic agents.
|
The Jew-Bolshevic
Emblem, surrounded by the Symbolic Serpent |
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 labourer, 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 defence* 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.
* Not true. The Covenant and Gods Laws and Economic Policy in The
Torah are the ONLY defence against all abuse and oppression.
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 labour of the workers, was interested in seeing that the workers
(employees/slaves) 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 (* ill-) legal authority
of kings.
8. By want and the envy and hatred which it engenders we shall move
the mobs and with their hands we shall wipe out all those who hinder
us on our way.
9. When the hour strikes for our sovereign lord of all the world to
be crowned it is these same hands which will sweep away everything
that might be a hindrance thereto.
10. The goyim have lost the habit of thinking, unless prompted by
the suggestions of our specialists. Therefore they do not see the
urgent necessity of what we, when our kingdom comes, shall adopt at
once, namely this, that it is essential to teach in national schools
one simple, true piece of knowledge, the basis of all knowledge
the knowledge of the structure of human life, of social existence,
which requires division of labour, 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 crisis, 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 crisis 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 pacify all unrest, to
cauterize liberalism out of all institutions.
14. When the populace has seen that all sorts of concessions and
indulgences are yielded it, in the same name of freedom it has
imagined itself to be sovereign lord and has stormed its way to
power, but, naturally like every other blind man, it has come upon a
host of stumbling blocks. It has rushed to find a guide, it has never had the sense to return to the
former state (of keeping The Covenant) and it has laid down its
plenipotentiary powers at OUR feet. Remember the French Revolution,
to which it was we who gave the name of "Great": the secrets of its
preparations are well known to us, for it was wholly the work of our
hands.
15 Ever since that time we have been leading the peoples from one
disenchantment to another, so that in the end they should turn also
from us in favor of that king-despot of the blood of Zion, whom we
are preparing for the world.
16. At the present day we are, as an international force,
invincible, because if attacked by some we are supported by other
States. It is the bottomless rascality of the goyim peoples, who
crawl on their bellies to force, but are merciless towards weakness,
unsparing to faults and indulgent to crimes, unwilling to bear the
contradictions of a free social system but patient unto martyrdom
under the violence of a bold despotism it is those qualities which
are aiding us to independence. From the premier-dictators of the
present day, the goyim peoples suffer patiently and bear such abuses
as for the least of them they would have beheaded twenty kings.
17. What is the explanation of this phenomenon, this curious
inconsequence of the masses of the peoples in their attitude towards
what would appear to be events of the same order?
18. It is explained by the fact that these dictators whisper to the
peoples through their agents that through these abuses they are
inflicting injury on the States with the highest purpose to secure
the welfare of the peoples, the international brotherhood of them
all, their solidarity and equality of rights. Naturally they do not
tell the peoples that this unification must be accomplished only
under our sovereign rule.
19. And thus the people condemn the upright and acquit the guilty,
persuaded ever more and more that it can do whatsoever it wishes.
Thanks to this state of things, the people are destroying every kind
of stability and creating disorders at every step.
20. The word "freedom" brings out the communities of men to fight
against every kind of force, against every kind of authority even
against God and the laws of nature. For this reason we, when we come
into our kingdom, shall have to erase this word from the lexicon of
life as implying a principle of brute force, which turns mobs into
bloodthirsty beasts.
21. These beasts, it is true, fall asleep again every time when they
have drunk their fill of blood, and at such time can easily be
riveted into their chains. But if they be not given blood they will
not sleep and will continue to struggle.

PROTOCOL 4
MATERIALISM REPLACES RELIGION
Stages of a Republic Gentile masonry a screen International
speculation of industry Cult of Gold
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 Godhead and the spirit, and to put in its place arithmetical calculations and
material needs.
4. In order to give the goyim no time to think and take note, their
minds must be diverted towards industry and trade. Thus, all the
nations will be swallowed up in the pursuit of gain and, in the race
for it, will not take note of their common foe. But again, in order
that freedom may once for all disintegrate and ruin the communities
of the goyim, we must put industry on a speculative basis: the
result of this will be that what is withdrawn from the land by
industry will slip through the hands and pass into speculation, that
is, to our classes.
5. The intensified struggle for superiority and shocks delivered to
economic life will create, nay, have already created, disenchanted,
cold and heartless communities. Such communities
will foster a strong aversion towards the higher political and
towards religion. Their only guide is gain, that is Gold, which they
will erect into a veritable cult, for the sake of those material
delights which it can give. Then will the hour strike when, not for
the sake of attaining the good, not even to win wealth, but solely
out of hatred towards the privileged, the lower classes of the goyim
will follow our lead against our rivals for power, the intellectuals
of the goyim.

PROTOCOL 5
DESPOTISM & MODERN PROGRESS
Centralized Government Gulfs separating States Sham eloquence to
overcome public opinion Super-Government Administration
1. What form of administrative rule can be given to communities in
which corruption has penetrated everywhere, communities where riches
are attained only by the clever surprise tactics of semi-swindling
tricks; where looseness reigns: where morality is maintained by
penal measures and harsh laws but not by voluntarily accepted
principles: where the feelings towards faith and
country are obligated by cosmopolitan convictions? What form of rule
is to be given to these communities, if not that despotism which I
shall describe to you later? We shall create an intensified
centralization of government in order to grip in our hands all the
forces of the community. We shall regulate mechanically all the
actions of the political life of our subjects by new laws. These
laws will withdraw one by one all the indulgences and liberties
which have been permitted by the goyim, and our kingdom will be
distinguished by a despotism of such magnificent proportions as to
be at any moment and in every place in a position to wipe out any
goyim who oppose us by deed or word.
2. We shall be told that such a despotism as I speak of is not
consistent with the progress of these days, but I will prove to you
that it is.
3. In the times when the peoples looked upon kings on their thrones
as on a pure manifestation of the will of God, they submitted
without a murmur to the despotic power of kings: but from the day
when we insinuated into their minds the conception of their own
rights, they began to regard the occupants of thrones as mere
ordinary mortals. The holy unction of the Lords 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 may 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 a 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.
[Return to top]
PROTOCOL 6
TAKE-OVER TECHNIQUE
Reservoirs of riches Destruction of goy aristocracy Vicious
circle of rising prices
1. We shall soon begin to establish huge monopolies, reservoirs of
colossal riches, upon which, even large fortunes of the goyim will
depend to such an extent that they will go to the bottom, together
with the credit of the States, on the day after the political
smash....
2. You gentlemen here present who are economists, just strike an
estimate of the significance of this combination!...
3. In every possible way we must develop the significance of our
Super-Government by representing it as the Protector and Benefactor
of all those who voluntarily submit to us.
4. The aristocracy of
the goyim as a political force, is dead We
need not take it into account; but as landed proprietors they can
still be harmful to us from the fact that they are self-sufficing in
the resources upon which they live. It is essential therefore for
us, at whatever cost, to deprive them of their land. This object
will be best attained by increasing the burdens upon landed property
in loading lands with debts. These measures will check
land-holding and keep it in a state of humble and unconditional
submission.
5. The aristocrats of the goyim, being hereditarily incapable of
contenting themselves with little, will rapidly burn up and fizzle
out.
WE SHALL ENSLAVE GENTILES
6. At the same time we must intensively patronize trade and
industry, but, first and foremost, speculation, the part played by
which is to provide a counterpoise to industry: the absence of
speculative industry will multiply capital in private hands and will
serve to restore agriculture by freeing the land from indebtedness
to the land banks. What we want is that industry should drain off
from the land both labour 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 measures to extirpate from the face of the earth all the
educated forces of the goyim.
8. In order that the true meaning of things may not strike
the
goyim; before the proper time; we shall mask it under an alleged
ardent desire to serve the working classes and the great principles
of political economy, about which, our economic theories are
carrying on an energetic propaganda.

PROTOCOL 7
WORLD-WIDE WARS
Encouraging an arms race Universal war to check goy opposition
The guns of America, China and Japan
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 of 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 few exceptions that may be
disregarded, is already, entirely in our hands.
[Return to top]
PROTOCOL 8
PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT
Legal justification for audacity Super-educational training
Control of bankers, industrialists and capitalists
1. We must arm ourselves with all the weapons which our opponents
might employ against us. We must search out; in the very finest
shades of expression and the knotty points of the lexicon of law;
justification for those cases, where we shall have to pronounce
judgments that might appear abnormally audacious and unjust, for it
is important that these resolutions should be set forth, in
expressions that shall seem to be the most exalted moral principles
cast into legal form. Our directorate must surround itself with all
these forces of civilization, among which it will have to work. It
will surround itself with publicists; practical jurists;
administrators; diplomats and, finally, with persons prepared by a
special super-educational training in our special schools. These
persons will have consonance of all the secrets of the social
structure, they will know all the languages that can be made up by
political alphabets and words; they will be made acquainted with the
whole underside of human nature, with all its sensitive chords on
which they will have to play. These chords are the cast of mind of
the goyim; their tendencies; short-comings; vices and qualities; the
particularities of classes and conditions. Needless to say that the
talented assistants of authority, of whom I speak, will be taken not
from among the goyim, who are accustomed to perform their
administrative work without giving themselves the trouble to think
what its aim is, and never consider what it is needed for. The
administrators of the goyim sign papers without reading them, and
they serve either for mercenary reasons or from ambition.
2. We shall surround our government with a whole world of
economists. That is the reason why economic sciences form the
principal subject of the teaching given to the Jews. Around us again
will be a whole constellation of bankers; industrialists;
capitalists and the main thing millionaires; because in
substance, everything will be settled by the question of figures.
3. For a time, until there will no longer be any risk in entrusting
responsible posts in our State to our brother-Jews, we shall put
them in the hands of persons whose past and reputation are such that
between them and the people lies an abyss, persons who, in case of
disobedience to our instructions, must face criminal charges or
disappear this in order to make them defend our interests to their
last gasp.

PROTOCOL 9
RE-EDUCATION
Meaning of anti-semitism Source of the all-engulfing terror
Boosting of false theories
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.
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; restoring
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 by us 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 maneuver 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.
