PROTOCOL 10
PREPARING FOR POWER
Camouflaged political freedom – Universal suffrage – The rise of
republics – Transition to masonic despotism – Proclamation of the
"Lord of all the World" – Inoculation of diseases
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 sufferings. 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 acquaintances 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
only to us 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 labour of this
kind, by means of numerous votings, is to impress upon it the stamp
of all reasoning and misunderstandings which have failed to
penetrate the depth and extent 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 to 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 became a possibility that could be realized, and then it
was that we replaced the ruler by a caricature of a government – by
a president, taken from the mob, from the midst of our puppet
creatures, or slaves. This was the foundation of the mine which we
have laid under the goy people, I should rather say, under the goy
peoples.
WE NAME PRESIDENTS
11. In the near future we shall establish the responsibility of
presidents.
12. By that time, we shall be in a position to disregard forms, in
carrying through matters for which our impersonal puppet will be
responsible. What do we care if the ranks of those striving for
power should be thinned, if there should arise a deadlock from the
impossibility of finding presidents, a deadlock which will finally
disorganize the country? ....
13. In order that our scheme may produce this result we shall
arrange elections in favor of such presidents as have in their past
some dark, undiscovered stain, some "Panama" or other – then they
will be trustworthy agents for the accomplishment of our plans, out
of fear of revelations and from the natural desire of everyone who
has attained power, namely, the retention of the privileges,
advantages and honor connected with the office of president. The
chamber of deputies will provide cover for, will protect, will elect
presidents, but we shall take from it the right to propose new, or
make changes in existing laws, for this right will be given by us to
the responsible president, a puppet in our hands. Naturally, the
authority of the presidents will then become a target for every
possible form of attack, but we shall provide him with a means of
self-defense in the right of an appeal to the people, for the
decision of the people over the heads of their representatives, that
is to say, an appeal to that some blind slave of ours – the majority
of the mob. Independently of this we shall invest the president with
the right of declaring a state of war. We shall justify this last
right on the ground that the president as chief of the whole army of
the country must have it at his disposal, in case of need for the
defense of the new republican constitution, the right to defend
which will belong to him as the responsible representative of this
constitution.
14. It is easy to understand, 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.
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 know perfectly well, 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 disease; by want, so
that the goyim see no other course open to them than to take refuge
in our complete sovereignty in money and in all else.
20. But if we give the nations of the world a breathing-space the
moment we long for is hardly likely ever to arrive.

PROTOCOL 11
THE TOTALITARIAN STATE
The new constitution – Abolition of the rights of man – "Show" army
of masonic lodges
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 ’those 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 and 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 to the "show" army of Masonic Lodges, in
order to throw dust in the eyes of their fellows.
8. God has granted to us, His Chosen People, the gift of the
dispersion, and in this which appears in all eyes to be our
weakness, has come forth all our strength, which has now brought us
to the threshold of sovereignty over all the world.
9. There now remains not much more for us to build up upon the
foundation we have laid.

PROTOCOL 12
CONTROL OF THE PRESS
Masonic "freedom" – Control of printing and publishing – Vishnu,
idol of the Press
1. The word "freedom," which can be interpreted in various ways, is
defined by us as follows -
2. Freedom is the right to do that which the law allows. This
interpretation of the word will at the proper time be of service to
us, because all freedom will thus be in our hands, since the laws
will abolish or create only that which is desirable for us,
according to the aforesaid program.
3. We shall deal with the press in the following way: what is the
part played by the press to-day? It serves to excite and inflame
those passions which are needed for our purpose, or else it serves
selfish ends of parties. It is often vapid; unjust; mendacious; and
the majority of the public have not the slightest idea what ends the
press really serves. We shall saddle and bridle it with a tight
curb: we shall do the same also with all productions of the printing
press, for where would be the sense of getting rid of the attacks of
the press if we remain targets for pamphlets and books? The produce
of publicity, which nowadays is a source of heavy expense owing to
the necessity of censoring it, will be turned by us into a very
lucrative source of income to our State: we shall law on it a
special stamp tax and require deposits of caution-money before
permitting the establishment of any organ of the press or of
printing offices; these will then have to guarantee our government
against any kind of attack on the part of the press. For any attempt
to attack us, if such still be possible, we shall inflict fines
without mercy. Such measures as stamp tax, deposit of caution-money
and fines secured by these deposits, will bring in a huge income to
the government. It is true that party organs might not spare money
for the sake of publicity, but these we shall shut up at the second
attack upon us. No one shall with impunity lay a finger on the
aureole of our government infallibility. The pretext for stopping
any publication will be the alleged plea that it is agitating the
public mind without occasion or justification. I beg you to note
that among those making attacks upon us will also be organs
established by us, but they will attack exclusively points that we
have pre-determined to alter.
WE CONTROL THE PRESS
4. Not a single announcement will reach the public without our
control. Even now this is already being attained by us inasmuch as
all news items are received by a few agencies, in whose offices they
are focused from all parts of the world. These agencies will then be
already entirely ours and will give publicity only to what we
dictate to them.
5. If already now we have contrived to possess ourselves of the
minds of the goy communities to such an extent that they all come
near, looking upon the events of the world through the colored
glasses of those spectacles we are setting astride their noses; if
already now there is not a single State where there exist for us any
barriers to admittance into what goy stupidity calls State secrets:
what will our positions be then, when we shall be acknowledged
supreme lords of the world in the person of our king of all the
world...
6. Let us turn again to the future of the printing press. Every one
desirous of being a publisher, librarian, or printer, will be
obliged to provide himself with the diploma instituted therefore,
which, in case of any fault, will be immediately impounded. With
such measures the instrument of thought will become an educative
means in the hands of our government, which will no longer allow the
mass of the nation to be led astray in by-ways and fantasies about
the blessings of progress. Is there any one of us who does not know
that these phantom blessings are the direct roads to foolish
imaginings, which give birth to anarchical relations of men among
themselves and towards authority, because progress, or rather the
idea of progress, has introduced the conception of every kind of
emancipation, but has failed to establish its limits.…All the
so-called liberals are anarchists, if not in fact, at any rate in
thought. Every one of them is 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 the publisher or
printer will have to apply to the authorities for permission to do
so. Thus we shall know beforehand of all tricks preparing against us
and shall nullify them by getting ahead with explanations on the
subject treated of.
8. Literature and journalism are two of the most important educative
forces, and therefore our government will become proprietor of the
majority of the journals. This will neutralize the injurious
influence of the privately-owned press and will put us in possession
of a tremendous influence upon the public mind....If we give permits
for ten journals, we shall ourselves found thirty, and so on in the
same proportion. This, however, must in no wise be suspected by the
public. For which reason all journals published by us will be of the
most opposite, in appearance, tendencies and opinions, thereby
creating confidence in us and bringing over to us quite unsuspicious
opponents, who will thus fall into our trap and be rendered
harmless.
9. In the front rank will stand organs of an official character.
They will always stand guard over our interests, and therefore their
influence will be comparatively insignificant.
10. In the second rank will be the semi-official organs, whose part
it will be to attack the tepid and indifferent.
11. In the third rank we shall set up our own; to all appearance,
off position; which, in at least one of its organs, will present
what looks like the very antipothesis 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 of 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. We require that, until such
a time as we are in the plenitude of power, the capitals should find
themselves stifled by the provincial opinion of the nations, i.e.,
of a majority arranged by our agentur. What we need is that; at the
psychological moment; the capitals should not be in a position to
discuss an accomplished fact for the simple reason, if for no other,
that it has been accepted by the public opinion of a majority in the
provinces.
19. When we are in the period of the new regime; prior to the
transition to that of the assumption of our full sovereignty; we
must not admit any revelations by the press of any form of public
dishonesty; it is necessary that the new regime should be thought to
have so perfectly contented everybody that even criminality has
disappeared...Cases of the manifestation of criminality should
remain known only to their victims and to chance witnesses – no
more.

PROTOCOL 13
DISTRACTIONS
Daily bread – Recreation centers – The unsuspected plan
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 seeming the opinion of the
mob, we are only facilitating the working of our machinery, and you
may remark that it is not for actions, but for words issued by us on
this or that question, that we seem to seek approval. We are
constantly making public declaration, that we are guided in all our
undertakings by the hope, joined to the conviction, that we are
serving the common weal.
WE DECEIVE WORKERS
3. In order to distract people who may be too troublesome, from
discussions of questions of the political, we are now putting
forward what we allege to be new questions of the political, namely,
questions of industry. In this sphere let them discuss themselves
silly! The masses are agreed to remain inactive, to take a rest from
what they suppose to be political (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 of 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 dis-accustomed 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 (progress) lies a departure from
truth; in all cases where it is not a question of material
inventions; like a fallacious idea, serves to obscure truth; so that
none may know it except us, the Chosen of God, its guardians.
5. When we come into our kingdom, our orators will expound great
problems which have turned humanity upside down, in order to bring
it at the end under our beneficent rule.
6. Who will ever suspect then that all these peoples were
stage-managed by us according to a political plan which no one has
so much as guessed at in the course of many centuries?….

PROTOCOL 14
ASSAULT ON RELIGION
Destruction of existing religions and substitution of the religion
of Moses – A new era of slavery
– Pornography encouraged in
progressive countries
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 tranquility, though it
be a tranquility 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 tranquility, 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 same agitations and miseries they have
gone through.
WE SHALL FORBID CHRIST
2. At the same time we shall not omit to
emphasize the historical
mistakes of the goy governments, which have tormented humanity for
so many centuries by their lack of understanding of everything that
constitutes the true good of humanity, in their chase after
fantastic schemes of social blessings, and have never noticed that
these schemes kept on producing a worse and never a better state of
the universal relations which are the basis of human life....
3. The whole force of our principles and methods will lie in the
fact that we shall present them and expound them as a splendid
contrast to the dead and decomposed old order of things in social
life.
4. Our philosophers will discuss all the shortcomings of the various
beliefs of the goyim. But no one will ever bring under discussion
our faith from its true point of view since this will be fully
learned by none save ours, who will never dare to betray its
secrets.
5. In countries known as progressive and enlightened we have created
a senseless, filthy, abominable literature. For some time, after our
entrance to power, we shall continue to encourage its existence, in
order to provide a telling relief; by contrast; to the speeches,
party program, which will be distributed from exalted quarters of
ours....Our wise men, trained to become leaders of the goyim, will
compose speeches; projects; memoirs; articles; which will be used by
us to influence the minds of the goyim; directing them towards such
understanding and forms of knowledge as have been determined by us.
