Here is “The Britons” translation of the complete text of Nilus’
notorious “Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion.”
PROTOCOL NO. 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. 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., human cattle = Non-Jews).
It must be noted that men with bad instincts are more in number than
the gook, and therefore the best results in governing them are
attained by violence and terrorization, and not by academic
discussion. 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.
What has restrained the beasts of prey who are called men? What has
served for their guidance hitherto?
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.
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.
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.
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. 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?
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, customs, traditions and sentimental
theorism, 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. 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, and we must, in no wise, be
guided by them. 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 might have proof that I
am stronger than you.
Where does right begin? Where does it end?
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.
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.
[H:
Check it out for yourself
and note that it is only now that enough uncovering is taking place
to even touch “the invincibles”, even though a few have known TRUTH
and tried to offer it unto you-the-people while you slept on – and
on and on…]
Out of the temporary evil we are now compelled to commit will emerge
the good of an unshakeable 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.
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.
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 unreasoning 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.
Only one trained from childhood for independent rule can have
understanding of the words that can be made up of the political
alphabet.
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 disorders arising
therefrom. Is it possible for
the masses of the people calmly and without petty jealousies to form
judgments, to deal with
the affairs of the country, which cannot be mixed up with personal
interests? 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.
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 hand 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 a
savage and displays its savagery at every opportunity. The moment
the mob seizes freedom in it hands it quickly turns to anarchy,
which in itself is the highest degree of savagery.
Behold the alcoholized animals, bemused with drink, the right to an
immoderate use of which comes along with freedom.
[H:
TAKE A GOOD
HARD LOOK AT YOURSELF, PLEASE.]
It is not for us and ours to walk
that road. The peoples of the Goyim are bemuse with alcoholic
liquors; their youth has grown stupid on classicism and independent
rule can have from early immorality, into which it has been inducted
by our special agents – by tutors, lackeys, governesses in the
houses of the wealthy, by clerks and others, by our women in the
places of dissipation frequented by the goyim. In the number of
these last I count also the so-called “society ladies”, voluntary
followers of the others in corruption and luxury.
Our 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.
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 by 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 program 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 merciless for all disobedience
to cease.
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
those days by stupid poll-parrots who from all sides round 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. [H: How does “weapons of mass destruction”,
“mad-man Saddam”,
“Peoples Power” and “HOLOCAUST” hit you now? Have the “trainers”
(handlers) repeat it
enough and you will accept the lie and place your own life on the
line to defend it.
The
TRAINERS DO NOT put their lives on the line nor that of their
children – check this one out
as well, please.] The would-be wise men of the goyim, the
intellectuals, could not make
anything out of the uttered words in their abstractness; did not
note the contradiction of their
meaning and inter-relation; 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 these 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
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. 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
cankerworms 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 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. 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 satiability
for material needs of man; and each one of these human weaknesses,
taken alone, is sufficient to paralyze initiative, for it hands over
the will of men to the disposition of him who has bought their
activities.
The abstraction of freedom 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.
It is this possibility of replacing the representatives of the
people which has placed them at our disposal, and, as it were, given
us the power of appointment.
PROTOCOL NO. 2
It is indispensable for our purposes 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.
The administrators, whom we shall choose 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
knowledge and without any logical verification of it 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.
Do not suppose for a
moment that these statements are empty words: think carefully of the
successes we arranged for Darwinism, Marxism, Nietzcheism. 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. 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.
In the hands of the States of today 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 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.
Remarks to today’s situation: As can be seen in the list on the
“Trilateral Commission” later in this book, most news agencies in
the world are controlled by the “Trilateral Commission –
CFR” link (these two organizations will be explained further on)…
[H: We are making one more effort to remind you have forgotten “what
this is all about, Alphie!”. We can “do this” if YOU want to. You
who have strayed off with a substitute shepherd might wish to
reconsider your position even as you compare professors.]
PROTOCOL NO. 3
Today 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 vise.
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 farseeing 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.
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 host of confused issues contend… A
little more, and disorders and bankruptcy will be universal…
Babblers inexhaustible have turned into orational 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. 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 the masses appear fictitious and not actual rights.
All
these so-called “People’s 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 the 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 on the other hand robs him of all guarantee
of regular and certain earnings by making him dependent on strikes
by his comrades or lock-outs by his masters. 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.
We appear on the scene as alleged saviors 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.
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.
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 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 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.
This
hatred will be still further magnified by the effects of an economic
crisis, which will stop dealings on the exchanges and bring industry
to a standstill. We shall create by 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 the cradles,
and whose property they will then be able to loot.
“Ours” they will not touch, because the moment of attack will be
known to us and we shall take measures to protect our own.
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 the unrest, to
cauterize liberalism out of all institutions.
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 for a guide, it has never had the
sense to return to the former state and it has laid down its
plenipotentiary powers at our feet. Remember the French Revolution,
to which it was we who gave the name of “Great”; the secrets of its
preparations are well known to us for it was wholly the work of our
hands.
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.
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 people, 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.
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? 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.
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.
The word “freedom” brings out the communities of men to fight
against every kind of farce, 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. The beasts, it is true, fall asleep again every
time when they have drunk their fill of blood, and at such times can
easily be riveted into their chains. But if they be not given blood
they will not sleep and continue to struggle.
PROTOCOL 4
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
too 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
expending its resources on the rewarding of long service.
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 and
unknown mystery.
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 of God, upon the brotherhood of
humanity, unconnected with the conception of equality, which is
negative 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
minds of the goyim the very principle of Godhead and the spirit, and
to put in its place arithmetical calculations and material needs.
In order to give the goyim 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.
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 NO. 5
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 obliterated 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. We shall be told that such a
despotism as I speak of it is not consistent with the progress of
these days, but I will prove to you that it is.
In these 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.
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.
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 ending to our power. The
nations cannot come to even an inconsiderable private agreement
without our secretly having a hand in it.
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 of the
old-established settler; the struggle would be merciless between us,
such a fight as the world has never yet 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 State is – Gold. The
science of political economy invented by our learned elders has for
long past been giving royal prestige to capital.
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 catch
up and interpret the ideas of others to suit ourselves than to
eradicate them.
The principal 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.
In all ages the peoples 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. 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.
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
matter political, which is not given to the public to understand,
because they are understood only by him who guides the public. This
is the first secret.
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 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 action 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
today we shall set up a bogey which will be called the
Super-Government Administration. Its hands will reach out in all
directions like nippers and its organization will be of such
colossal dimensions that it cannot fail to subdue all the nations of
the world.
PROTOCOL NO. 6
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…
You gentlemen here present who are economists, just strike on
estimate of the significance of this combination!
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.
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. The
aristocrats of the goyim, being hereditarily incapable of contenting
themselves with little, will rapidly burn up and fizzle out.
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; in 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 would 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.
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. 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 NO.7
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.
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 politics, by economic treaties, or loan
obligation. 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 compliancy.
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
saviors of the human race. 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 off
resistance by a universal war.
The principle factor of success in the political is the secrecy of
its undertakings; the word should not agree with the deeds of the
diplomat.
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 prompted 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.
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
of China of Japan.
PROTOCOL NO. 8
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 cognizance
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,
shortcomings, 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.
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.
For a time, until there will no longer be any risk in entrusting
responsible posts in our states 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 interest to their
last gasp.
PROTOCOL NO. 9
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.
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 sill 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.
For us there are no 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.
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 for peace: but we will not give
them peace until they openly acknowledge our international
Super-Government, and with submissiveness.
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.
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.
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 in questions of the political in
such a wise as may turn them in the direction that suits us.
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 by the voice of the people.
In order not to annihilate the instructions 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 corner-stones of a free existence. 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 that
they have been inculcated.
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 first in the fact that the interpretations masked
the laws; afterwards they entirely hid them from the eyes of the
government owing to the impossibility of making anything out of the
tangled web of legislation.
This is the origin of the theory, of course, of arbitration.
You may say 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 air with all their organizations and archives.
PROTOCOL NO. 10
Today I begin with a repetition of what I said before, and I beg you
to bear in mind that governments and peoples 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 greatest importance to take
cognizance of this detail: it will be of assistance to us when we
come to consider the division of authority, freedom of speech, of
the press, of religion (faith)., of the law of association, of
equality before the law, of the inviolability 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 appear to have been already given.
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 is
clever!…a trick, if you like, but how craftily played, how
magnificently done, what imprudent audacity ! ”
We count upon attracting all nations to the task 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 on 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.
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 acquaintance
with us before condemning us.
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 inculcation 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.
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 misunderstanding which have failed to penetrate
the depth and nexus of it 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.
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. 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 machinery of State, the State falls sick, like a
human body, and will die.
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.
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 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, our slaves. This
was the foundation of the mine which we have laid under the goy
people, I should rather say, under the goy peoples. In the near
future we shall establish the responsibility of presidents.
By that time we shall be in a position to disregard forms in
carrying through matters for which our personal 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? 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
privileges, advantages and honor connected with the office of
president.
The chamber of deputies will provide cover for, will
protect, will elect the president, 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 president 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 the 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. 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.
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 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.
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 other being the requirements for the
supreme welfare of the State.
By such measures 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.
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 discords – frontiers,
nationalities, religions, State debts – who will give us peace and
quiet, which we cannot find under our rulers and representatives.”
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.
But if we give the nations of the world a breathing space the moment
we long for is hardly likely ever to arrive.
[H:
Yes, I would guess that you see a lot of realities breaking
through form the fanciful manipulations of the intelligent and
genius goyim to the plight in which nations find themselves TODAY –
and a specific example is directly in view in the Philippines. This
why we are moving through computer complications and hours of extra,
and repeated, typing to get this into your hands that you might
consider your positions – AGAIN. This was the transition period for
the Plan 2000 and nobody said the recovery would be easy or safe.
Anyone still want this job? How do the primroses smell as you
struggle through these days of Satan?]
PROTOCOL NO. 11
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.
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.
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 conscience, the voting principle, and many another that
must disappear forever
from the memory of man, or undergo a radical alteration the day
after the promulgation of
the new constitution.
It is only at that 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 in a sense of
further indulgences it will be
said that we have recognized our own wrongdoing 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 of
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. 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 !….
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… It is not worth while to say anything about how long a
time they will be kept waiting for this return of their liberties…
For what purpose then have we invented this whole policy and
insinuated it into the minds of the goys 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.
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.
There now remains not much more for us to build up upon the
foundation we have laid.
[H:
Please do not pass lightly over this particular protocol lest
you fail to catch the point. To check this out just sit a moment and
see if you can find even one corner of the world where the
infiltration of the One World Control is not already in place. Also
look carefully at WHAT controls you: energy supply, even at the gas
pump, the electric supply, cooking/heating fuel. WATER and the
actual quality of AIR you are given to breathe. THE SAME CONTROLLERS
HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO MANIPULATE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE AND ARE. In
Protocol 12 you will find “their” definition of freedom – so read it
and weep.]
PROTOCOL NO. 12
The word “freedom”, which can be interpreted in various ways, is
defined by us as follows:
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 aforementioned program.
We shall deal with the press in the following way: What is the part
played by the press
today? 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 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 office; 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 their 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.
Not a single announcement will reach the public without our control.
[H:
FACE IT,
READERS! THAT IS WHY WE ARE “NOT” IN COMPETITION WITH THIS GROUP OF
MANIPULATORS. TRUTH ONLY GIVES YOU AN “OPPORTUNITY” TO MAKE CHANGES
- OFTEN YOUR OWN PERCEPTIONS, PERSPECTIVES AND ATTITUDES. WE CAN
ONLY OFFER A WAY AND “YOU” MUST DO WHAT YOU WILL WITH IT – FOR THAT
IS THE “FREE-WILL” CHOICE OF MAN INDIVIDUAL AND SOVEREIGN.]
Even now
this is already being attained by us inasmuch as 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. 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 exists for us any barriers
to admittance into what goy stupidity calls State secrets, what will
our position be then, when we shall be acknowledged supreme lords of
the world in the person of our king of all the world… 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 measure the
instrument of thought will become an educative means in the hands of
our government, which no longer allows 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… We turn to the periodical press. We shall impose on it, 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 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 read voraciously. The tax will
bring vapid literary ambitions with 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 will KNOW BEFOREHAND of all tricks preparing against us
and shall nullify them by getting ahead with explanations on the
subject treated of.
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 nowise 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 our quite unsuspicious
opponents, who will thus fall into our trap and be rendered
harmless. 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. In
the second rank will be the semi-official organs whose part it will
be to attract the tepid and indifferent.
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. All of 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.
In order to direct our newspaper militia in this sense we must take
especial 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.
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.
Methods of organizations 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 tranquilize 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.
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.
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 secrets of his sources of information
unless it be resolved to make announcement to 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 attracts the majority of the country – the mob
follows after him with enthusiasm.
Our calculations are especially extended to the provinces. It is
indispensable for us to inflame there those hopes and impulses of
the provinces. Naturally, the source of them will always be one and
the same – ours. What we need is that, until such time as we are in
plenitude of power, the capitals should find themselves stifled by
the provincial opinion of the nation 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 same reason, if for no other, that it has been accepted by
the public opinion of a majority in the provinces.
That we are in the period of the new regime transitional to that of
our assumption of full sovereignty we must not admit any revelations
by the press or 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 NO. 13
The need for daily bread forces the goyim to keep silence and be
humble servants. Agents taken on to our press from among the goyim
will at our order 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. 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 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 commonweal.
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 activity
(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
disaccustomed to reflect and form any opinions of their own, people
will begin to talk in the same tone as we, because we alone shall be
offering them new directions for thought… of course through such
persons as will not be suspected of solidarity with us.
The part played by 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.
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. 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
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 today, 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 blessings 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
agitations and miseries they have gone through.
At the same time we shall 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. 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.
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.
In countries known as progressive and enlightened we have created a
senseless, filthy, abominable literature. For some time after our
entrance to power we shall continue to encourage its existence in
order to provide a telling relief by contrast to the speeches, party
program, which will be distributed from exalted quarters of ours…
Our wise men, trained to become leaders of the goyim, will compose
speeches, projects, memoirs, articles, which will be used by us to
influence the minds of the goyim, directing them towards such
understanding and forms of knowledge as have been determined by us.
PROTOCOL NO. 15
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 the
worthlessness of all existing forms of government has been
definitely acknowledged (and not a little time will pass before that
comes about, perhaps even a whole century) we shall make it our task
to see that against us such things as plots shall no longer exist.
With this purpose we shall slay without mercy all who take arms (in
hand) to oppose our coming into our kingdom.
Every kind of new
institution of anything like a secret society will also be punished
with death; those of them which are now in existence, are known to
us, serve us and have served us, we shall disband and send into
exile to continents far removed from Europe. In this way we shall
proceed with those goy Masons who know too much; such of these as we
may for some reason spare will be kept in constant fear of exile. We
shall promulgate a law making all former members of secret societies
liable to exile from Europe as the center of our rule. Resolutions
of our government will be final, without appeal.
In the goy societies, in which we have planted and deeply rooted
discord and protestantism, the only 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 as 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 (Some versions
of the “Protocols” followed Joly’s “Dialogues” so closely that
Joly’s mistaken spelling of Sulla’s name as “Sylla was also copied.
In the translation of the “Protocols” here used, however, the
mistake was rectified.), who had poured forth that blood.
Sulla
enjoyed an apotheosis for his might in the eyes of the people,
though they had been torn in pieces by 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.
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
in these lodges we
shall find our principle 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 will 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, etcetera.
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 the world grows agitated the meaning of that will be that we have
had to stir it 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 where as 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…
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 assimilate 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 thought 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.
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 underdeveloped in
comparison with our mind? This it is, mainly, which guarantees our
success.
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 for many of our own, but for that we have now
already given them such a
position on 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.
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 a 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 goyim we at the
same time keep our own people and our agents in a state of
unquestioning submission.
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 high 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.
In this difference in capacity for thought between the goyim and
ourselves may be clearly discerned the seal of our position on the
Chosen People and of our higher quality of humanness, in
contradiction 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.
When comes the time of our overt rule, the time to manifest its
blessings, we shall make 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.
Abuse 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 fillip 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.
Concealment of guilt, connivance between those in the service of the
administration – all this kind of evil will disappear after the very
first examples of severe punishment. The aureole of our power
demands suitable, that is, cruel, punishments for the slightest
infringement, for the sake of gain, of its supreme prestige. The
sufferer, though his punishment may exceed his fault, will count as
a soldier falling on the administrative field of battle in the
interest of authority, principle and law, which do not permit that
any of those who hold the reins of the public coach should turn
aside from the public highway to their own private paths.
For
example: 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 judge. Such qualities it is proper to show in private life,
but not in a public square which is the educationary basis of human
life.
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
second 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 educationary 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.
In these days the judges of the goyim create indulgences to every
kind of crime, 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 their objects
places of profit without thinking to make clear 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. Let us borrow from the example of the
results of these actions yet another lesson for our government.
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 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.
Our absolutism will in all things be logically consecutive and
therefore in each one of its decrees our supreme will will be
respected and unquestionably fulfilled; it will ignore all murmurs,
all discontents of every kind and will destroy to the root every
kind of manifestations of them in act by punishment of an exemplary
character. We shall abolish the right of cassation, which will be
transferred exclusively to our disposal – to the cognizance of him
who rules, for we must not allow the conception among the people of
a thought that there could be such a thing as a decision that is not
right of judges set up by us.
If, however, anything like this should
occur, we shall ourselves cassate the decision, but inflict
therewith such exemplary punishment on the judge for lack of
understanding of his duty and the purpose of his appointment as will
prevent a repetition of such cases. I repeat that it must be borne
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.
Our government will have the appearance of a patriarchal
guardianship on the part of the
ruler. Our own nation and our subjects will discern in his person a
father caring for their
every need, their every act, their every inter-relation as subjects
one with another, as well as
their relations to the ruler.
They will then be so thoroughly imbued
with the thought that it is
impossible for them to dispense with the 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 their 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.
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. 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.
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. Our King will be in constant communion with the
peoples, making to them from the tribune speeches which fame will in
that same hour distribute over all the world.
PROTOCOL NO. 16
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. The will be appointed with
especial precaution, and will be placed as to be wholly dependent
upon the government.
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 dozens 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 milksops 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.
The ill-guided acquaintance of a large number of persons with
question 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.
Classicism, as also any form of study of ancient history, in which
there are more bad than good examples, 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 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.
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 our states of life, but it is the perfect folly for the sake of
this rare occasional genius to
let through into ranks foreign to them the untalented who thus rob
of the places those who
belong to those ranks of birth or employment. You know yourselves in
what all this has ended for the goyim who allow the crying
absurdity.
In order that he who rules may be seated firmly in the hearts and
minds of subjects it is necessary for the time of his activity to
instruct the whole nation in the schools and in the market places
about his meaning and his acts and all his beneficent initiatives.
We shall abolish every kind of freedom of instruction. Learners of
all ages will have the right to assemble together with their parents
in the educational establishments as if 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 limitations which are born of unconscious
relations, and finally, 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 transitional stage towards our faith.
On the completions of this exposition of our program of action in
the present and the future I will read you the principle of these
theories.
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.
[H: I SET THIS NOTICE APART AS BEST WE CAN IN THIS COMPUTER SYSTEM
SO THAT YOU CAN REMAIN AWARE OF ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
MIND-TRAINING METHODS AROUND THE GLOBE.
ANYONE WITH PROBABILITY OF COMING INTO POWER POLITICALLY OR IN

YALE, SOME ENGLISH UNIVERSITIES AND STANFORD.
THE GUIDELINES FOR THE ‘SUBJECTS’ IN WHICH THERE WILL BE SUBSTITUTED

THE STUDENT, WHEN IN PRACTICE, BE IT FROM A LEGAL COUNSELOR TO THE
PRESIDENT OF A NATION, IS WITHOUT NOTICE OF THE FACT THEY ARE NOT
PRACTICING FACT OR TRUTH – BUT TRAINED ROBOTIC RESPONSES.
THE

THIS
IS

‘APOLOGIZING’ TO GROUPS WHO WERE SET UPON BY THE OFFENDING KINGS.
THIS IS DELUSION IN ITS MOST OBVIOUS FORM.
THIS IS TO BRING ABOUT ONE RELIGION – ONE WORLD – GOVERNMENT, STATE

PROTOCOL NO.17
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 to 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 court. 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 advocates to agree only
to let that side win which pays most.
We have long past taken care to credit 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.
[H: Remember that these Zionists have the mechanism built right into
their law and code,
i.e., Kol Nidre (vow of all vows), which nulls and voids from one
year to the next (retroactive
and proactive) and negates “lawfully” vows of all kinds and covers
false statements in all
instances. It is the FIRST vow taken at the annual start of their
new year. This also allows
open use of false identification, false locations and all
agreements.
THIS, FURTHER, IS
ONLY FOR THE USE OF THE ZIONISTS BUT HAS SLOPPED OVER INTO THE
GENERAL GENTILE (GOYIM) USAGE.
You will find, however, that ONLY the
“Zionist” will be allowed use of this and in, for instance, a court
of law – any discussions of the matter will take place in “closed
chambers” or side-bars. THIS is exactly what a sting operation IS.
Only the target, right or wrong, is disallowed recourse. This is
very good to remember in any dealings; political, business or
otherwise. Lying has become an accepted mode of operation in, for
example, the Philippines BUT at least there should always be
documentation available for your own shelter and protection.]
When the time comes finally to destroy the papal court the finger of
an invisible hand will point the nations towards the 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.
The King of the Jews will be the real Pope of the Universe, the
patriarch of an international Church.
But, in the meantime, while we are re-educating youth in new
tradition 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.
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.
Our kingdom will be an apologia of the divinity Vishnu [God OF MANY
ARMS], 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 program 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. 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 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.
Just as nowadays our brethren are obliged at their own risk to
denounce to the kabal apostates of their own family or members who
have been noticed doing anything in opposition to the kabal, so in
our kingdom over all the world it will be obligatory for all our
subjects to observe the duty of service to the State in this
direction.
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 midst of their administration?
Among the number of those methods one of the most important is –
agents for the restoration of order, so placed to have opportunity
in the disintegrating activity of developing and displaying their
evil inclinations – obstinate self-conceit, irresponsible exercise
of authority, and, first and foremost, venality.
PROTOCOL NO.18
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 as 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 perquisitions and surveillance on the part
of our servants from among the number of the goyim police.
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.
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.
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.
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 of domestic
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 wellbeing of every citizen of the State, for upon
it will depend all order in the common life of the
pack.
Overt defense of the king argues weakness in the organization of his
strength. Our ruler will always among the people be surrounded by a
mob 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 its existence that the people may be
able to say: “If the king knew of this,” or: “the king will hear of
it.”
With the establishment of official secret defense the mystical
prestige authority disappears; given a certain audacity, and
everyone counts him 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 the very fact we are enabled to see what
measures of overt defense have brought them to.
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 in 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 government that understand true policy.
PROTOCOL NO. 19
If we do not permit any independent dabbling in the political we
shall an 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 short-sightedness of one who judges wrongly.
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. 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.
We have done our best, and I hope we have succeeded, to obtain that
the goyim should not arrive at this means of contending with
sedition. It was for this reason that through the press and in
speeches, indirectly – in cleverly compiled schoolbooks on history,
we have advertised by sedition-mongers for the idea of the
commonweal. This advertisement has increased the contingent of
liberals and has brought thousands of goyim into the ranks of our
livestock cattle.
PROTOCOL NO.20
Today 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 said that the sum total of our actions is settled
by the question of figures.
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 costs dear it is
necessary nevertheless to obtain the funds required for it. I will,
therefore, elaborate with particular precaution the question of
equilibrium in this matter.
Our rule, in which the king will enjoy the legal fiction that
everything in his State belongs to him (which may easily be
translate 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.
This social reform must come from above, for the time is ripe for it
– it is indispensable as a pledge of peace.
The tax upon the poor man is a seed of revolution and works to the
detriment of the State which in hunting after 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.
A tax increasing in a percentage ratio to capital will give a 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.
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.
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 wellbeing since he will see that it is the
rich man who is paying the necessary means to attain
these things.
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.
He who reigns will not have any properties of his own once all in
the State represents 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.
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 of must work to obtain the right of property;
the privilege of royal blood must not serve for the spoiling of the
treasury.
Purchase, receipt of money or inheritance will be subject
to the payment of a stamp progressive tax. Any transfer of property,
whether money of 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 or declaration of
the transfer.
Transfer documents must be presented weekly at the
local treasury office with notification 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 of necessities, and these will be subject to payment only by
a stamp impost of a definite percentage of the unit.
Just strike an estimate of how many times such taxes as these will
cover the revenue of the goyim States.
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.
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
exist 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 some 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 of the states.
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.
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.
With us the standard that must be introduced is the cost of working
manpower, whether it be reckoned in paper or 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.
The accounts will be managed by each department (the French
administrative division), each circle.
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.
The budgets of income and expenditure will be carried out side by
side that they may not be obscured by distance one to another.
The reforms projected by us in the financial institution and
principles of the goyim will be
closed 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 thing 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.
You understand perfectly that economic arrangements of this kind,
which have been suggested to the goyim by us, cannot be carried on
by us.
Every kind of loan proves infirmity in the State 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 temporary tax, come begging with outstretched palm of
our bankers. Foreign loans are leeches which there is no possibility
of removing from the body of the State until they fall off of
themselves or the State flings them off.
But the goy States don not
tear them off; they go on in persisting in putting more on to
themselves so that they must inevitably perish, drained by voluntary
bloodletting.
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.
From this calculation it is obvious that with any form of taxation
per head the State is bailing out the last coppers of the poor
taxpayers in order to settle accounts with wealthy foreigners, form
whom it has borrowed money instead of collecting these coppers for
its own needs without the additional interest.
So long as loans were internal the goyim only shuffled their money
from the pockets of the poor to those of the rich, but when we
bought up the necessary person in order to transfer loans into the
external sphere all the wealth of States flowed into our cash-boxes
and all the goyim began to pay us the tribute of subjects.
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
Stagnation of money will not be allowed by us and therefore there
will be no State interest-bearing paper, except a one per cent
series, so that there will be no payment of interest to leeches that
suck all the strength out of the State.
The right to issue
interest-bearing paper will be given exclusively to industrial
companies who will find no difficulty in paying interest out of
profits, whereas the State does not make interest on borrowed money
like these companies, for the State borrows to spend and not to use
in operations.
Industrial papers will be bought also by the
government which from being as now a payer 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.
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? 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.
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.
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.
And without a definite plan it is impossible to rule. Marching along
an undetermined road and with undetermined resources bring to ruin
by the way heroes and demi-Gods.
The goy rulers, whom we once upon a time advised should be
distracted from State
occupations by representative receptions, observances of etiquette,
entertainments, were
only screens for our rule. The accounts of favorite courtiers who
replace them in the sphere
of affairs where drawn up for them by our agents, and every time
gave satisfaction shortsighted 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.
You know to what they have been brought by this carelessness, to
what a pitch of financial disorder they have arrived,
notwithstanding the astonishing industry of their peoples.
PROTOCOL NO. 21
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 had fed us with the national moneys of
the goyim, but for out State there will be no foreigners, that is,
nothing external.
We have taken advantage of the venality of administrators and the
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.
States announce that such a loan is to be concluded and open 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 state effect –
look you, they say, what confidence is shown in the government’s
bills of exchange.
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.
Later comes the time for conversions, but they diminish the payment
of interest without
covering the debt, and besides they cannot be made without the
consent of the lenders; on
announcing a conversion a proposal is made to return the money to
those who are not
willing to convert their paper. If everybody expressed his
unwillingness and demanded his
money back, the government would be hooked on their own flies 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.
Nowadays, with external loans, these tricks cannot be played by the
goyim for they know that we shall demand all our moneys back.
In this way an acknowledged bankruptcy will best prove to the
various countries the absence of any means between the interests of
peoples of those who rule them.
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 replaced by the deposit of equivalent amount of rentes.
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.)
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 but 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.
[H:
If you readers aren’t, by now, weeping – you don’t get the
point. There is a cute saying that goes something like:
“If you
aren’t about to panic, then you don’t understand your
circumstances.”
This particular presentation of the STATUS OF THE PROTOCOLS in
accomplishment was made may years before this day and actually laid
forth centuries prior to now. Isn’t it time you people paid
attention to what has taken place and check as to what kind of a
steel cage in which you are kept? So be it!]
PROTOCOL NO. 22
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 of me to add. 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.
Surely there is no need to seek further proof that our role 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 case of true
well-being - the bringing of
everything into order?
Though it be even by the exercise of some
violence, yet all the same
it will be established. We shall contrive to prove that we are
benefactors who have restored
to the rent and mangled earth the true good and also freedom of the
person, and therewith
we shall enable it to be enjoyed in peace and quiet, with proper
dignity of relations, on the condition, of course, of strict
observance of the laws established by us.
We shall make plain
therewith that freedom does not consist in dissipation and in the
right of unbridled license any more than the dignity and force of a
man do not consist in the right for 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 imagining about the
subject of one’s ego.
Our 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.
PROTOCOL NO. 23
That the peoples become accustomed to obedience it is necessary to
inculcate lessons of
humility and therefore to reduce the production of article of
luxury. By this we shall improve
morals which have been debased by emulation in the sphere of luxury.
We shall reestablish small master production which will mean laying
a mine under the private capital of
manufacturers.
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. Unemployment is a most perilous
thing for a government. 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.
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.
The supreme lord who will replace all now existing rulers, dragging
on their existence among 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.
This Chosen One of God is chose 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.
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 this front the seal of the
predestination of man, to
which God Himself has led his star that none other but He might free
us from all the before-mentioned forces and evils.”

I pass now to the method of confirming the dynastic roots of KING
DAVID to the last strata of the earth.
This confirmation will first and foremost be included in that in
which to this day has rested the force of conservatism by our
learned elders of the conduct of all the affairs of the world, in
the directing of the education of thought of all humanity.
Certain members of the seed of David will prepare the kings and
their heirs, selecting not by right of heritage but be 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 it
art.
To these persons only will be taught the practical application of
the afore-named 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. 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. 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.
In case of falling sick with weakness of will or other form of
incapacity, kings must by law hand over the reins to new and capable
hands.
The king’s plans 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.
Only the king and the three who stood sponsor for him will know what
is coming.
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. 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. 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.
This terror was indispensable for us till the time comes for both
these forces separately to fall under our influence.
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. 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.
Our supreme lord must be of an exemplary irreproachability!
** The ROTHSCHILD BANK is said to have asked the Bavarian Jew ADAM WEISHAUPT to establish the “SECRET ORDER OF THE BAVARIAN ILLUMINATI”
after this plan for world power (“Novus Ordo Seclorum” = New World
Order) had been worked out.
Author’s Comment:
A further means towards this goal is the separation of the world
into a slave society in the East and a race of lords in the West. As
Rudolf Steiner wrote in his book The Social Prerequisites of Our
Time this is helped by the fact that the West cannot come to
synthesis. The atheist scientists don’t care for the religions of
the East; the faithful of the East reject the science of the West.
