Los protocolos de Sion

THE PROTOCOLS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION

PREFACE

Traducido del Ruso por Victor E. Marsden
Traducido al Espanol por Rodrigo Segura



The author of this translation of the famous Protocols was
himself a victim of the Revolution.
Victor el traductor de los notados Protocolos fue tambien una victima de la Revolucion
He had lived for many
years in Russia and was married to a Russian lady. Among
his other activities in Russia he had been for a number of
years a Russian Correspondent of the MORNING POST, a
position which he occupied when the Revolution broke out,
Vivio por muchos años en Rusia, casado con una ciudadana Rusa. Entre todas sus actividades fue tambien por varios años un corresponsal de el 'Morning Post' puesto que ocupo hasta cuando rebentó  la Revolucion
and his vivid descriptions of events in Russia will still be in
the recollection of many of the readers of that Journal.
Sus vividas descripciones de los eventos en la Rusia de ese tiempo ahun esta en la memoria de muchos de los lectores de sus reportajes
Naturally he was singled out for the anger of the Soviet. On
the day that Captain Cromie was murdered by Jews, Victor
Marsden was arrested and thrown into the Peter-Paul Prison,
Como suele ocurrir en estos casos el fue escojido por los Sovieticos para verter sobre el su ira. El mismo dia cuando el Capitan Cromie fue asesinado por Judios, Victor Marsden fue arrestado y lanzado a la prision 'Pedro-Pablo'.
expecting every day to have his name called out for
execution. This, however, he escaped, and eventually he was
allowed to return to England very much of a wreck in bodily
health.
Temia todos los dias a ser llamado para la ejecucion, esto sin embargo no ocurrio, escapo esa muerte y finalmente se le permitio regresar a Inglaterra, su salud fisica destrozada
However, he recovered under treatment and the
devoted care of his wife and friends. One of the first things
he undertook, as soon as he was able, was this translation of
the Protocols.
Se recupero gracias a un regimen y el cuidado devoto de su mujer y amigos. Una de las primeras cosas que emprendio tan pronto pudo, fue la traduccion de los Protodolos
Mr. Marsden was eminently well qualified for
the work. His intimate acquaintance with Russia, Russian
life and the Russian language on the one hand, and his
mastery of a terse literary English style on the other, placed
him in a position of advantage which few others could claim.
El Sr Marsden estaba sumamente bien calificado para este trabajo. Su conocimiento intimo de Rusia, su cultura y su idioma por una parte y su maestria del estilo literario corto del Ingles, por otra, lo pusieron en una posicion ventajosa la cual muy pocos podrian igualar
The consequence is that we have in his version an eminently
readable work, and though the subject-matter is somewhat
formless, Mr. Marsden's literary touch reveals the thread
running through the twenty-four Protocols.
El resultado es que su version es un trabajo my facil de leer, a pesar que el tema es algo carente de forma, la mano del Sr Marsden nos revela el hilo que conecta los 24 Protocolos
It may be said with truth that this work was carried out at the
cost of Mr. Marsden's own life's blood. He told the writer of
this Preface that he could not stand more than an hour at a
time of his work on it in the British Museum, as the
diabolical spirit of the matter which he was obliged to turn
into English made him positively ill
Se puede decir sin mentira que este trabajo le costo a el Sr Marsden su energia vital. Le dijo a el escritor de esta introduccion que no podia aguantar mas de una hora  traducir en el Museo Britanico, por que el espiritu diabolico de ese material el cual se habia obligado a traducir al Ingles, lo ponia muy mal
Mr. Marsden's connection with the MORNING POST was
not severed by his return to England, and he was well
enough to accept the post of special correspondent of that
journal in the suite of H.R.H., the Prince of Wales on his
Empire tour. From this he returned with the Prince,
apparently in much better health, but within a few days of
his landing he was taken suddenly ill, and died after a very
brief illness.
La coneccion que el Sr Marsden tenia con el 'Morning Post' no fue quebrada por su regreso a Inglaterra, sintiendose ya bien, acepto el puesto de corresponsal especial de ese periodico en la camara de H.R.H (su alta realeza) el Principe Carlos de Gales durante su gira Imperial. Regreso de esta mision con el Principe aparentemente en muy mejor estado de salud, pero pocos dias despues se enfermo repentinamente, muriendo despues de una corta enfermedad.
May this work be his crowning monument! In it he has
performed an immense service to the English-speaking
world, and there can be little doubt that it will take its place
in the first rank of the English versions of "THE
PROTOCOLS of the Meetings of the LEARNED ELDERS
OF ZION."
Ojala este trabajo sea su monumento coronante!. aqui el le ha hecho un gran servicio a los Angloparlantes, no cabe duda que tomara el primer puesto entre las versiones en Ingles de "Los Protocolos de las reuniones de los Ancianos Letrados de Sion"

.
INTRODUCTION/INTRODUCCION


Of the Protocols themselves little need be said in the way of
introduction. The book in which they are embodied was first
published in the year 1897 by Philip Stepanov for private
circulation among his intimate friends.
Los Protocolos en si no necesitan muchas palabras para presentarlos. El libro donde estan revestidos fue publicado por primera vez en 1897 por Philip Stepanov para ser circulado privadamente entre sus amigos intimos
The first time Nilus
published them was in 1901 in a book called The Great
Within the Small and reprinted in 1905. A copy of this is in
the British Museum bearing the date of its reception, August
10, 1906
La primera vez que Nilus los publico fue en 1905, una de esta esta en el Museo Britanico con fecha de recibido Agosto 10, 1906
All copies that were known to exist in Russia were
destroyed in the Kerensky regime, and under his successors
the possession of a copy by anyone in Soviet land was a
crime sufficient to ensure the owner's of being shot on sight
Todas las copias existentes en Rusia fueron destruidas en el regimen de Kerensky y bajo sus sucesores tener una copia era crimen suficientemente merecedor de un disparo a la vista
The fact is in itself sufficient proof of the genuineness of the
Protocols. The Jewish journals, of course, say that they are a
forgery, leaving it to be understood that Professor Nilus,
who embodied them in a work of his own, had concocted
them for his own purposes.
Estos hechos son prueba suficiente de que los Protocolos son genuinos. Los periodicos Judios, por supuesto, dan a entender que son un invento del Profesor Nilus producto de su propia imaginacion y para propios propositos
Mr. Henry Ford, in an interview published in the New York
WORLD, February 17th, 1921, put the case for Nilus tersely
and convincingly thus:
"The only statement I care to make about the
PROTOCOLS is that they fit in with what is
going on. They are sixteen years old, and
they have fitted the world situation up to this
time. THEY FIT IT NOW."
Indeed they do!
El Sr Henry Ford, en una entrevista publicada en el 'Mundo Nueva York' de Febrero 17, 1921 defendio el caso de Nilus de una forma directa y convincente asi: "Lo unico que me importa declarar acerca de los Protocolos es que reflejan todo lo que ahora esta pasando, tienen 16 años y durante ese tiempo, han reflejado la situacion Mundial hasta ahora. Y LO CONTINUAN HACIENDO AHORA" en verdad que es asi
The word "Protocol" signifies a precis gummed on to the
front of a document, a draft of a document, minutes of
proceedings. In this instance, "Protocol" means minutes of
the proceedings of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of
Zion. These Protocols give the substance of addresses
delivered to the innermost circle of the Rulers of Zion.
La palabra "Protocolo" significa un resumen pegado encima de un documento, el esbozo de un documento, un acta de un proceso. En este caso significa actas de el proceso de las Reuniones. Estos Protocolos presentan la substancia de los discursos hechos en el circulo mas intimo de los Governadores de Sion

 
They
reveal the converted plan of action of the Jewish Nation
developed through the ages and edited by the Elders
themselves up to date. Parts and summaries of the plan have
been published from time to time during the centuries as the
secrets of the Elders have leaked out.
Nos revelan el plan de accion de la Nacion Judia elaborado durante las varias eras y editado por los Ancianos mismos para actualizarlos. Partes y resumenes del plan han sido publicadas de vez en cuando a travez de los siglos cada vez que sus secretos fugaban accidentalmente
The claim of the Jews
that the Protocols are forgeries is in itself an admission of
their genuineness, for they NEVER ATTEMPT TO
ANSWER THE FACTS corresponding to the THREATS
which the Protocols contain, and, indeed, the
correspondence between prophecy and fulfillment is too
glaring to be set aside or obscured. This the Jews well know
and therefore evade.

Captain A.H.M. Ramsay records in his classic, The
Nameless War: "According to a letter published in "Plain
English" (a weekly review published by the North British
Publishing Co. and edited by the late Lord Alfred Douglas)
on 3rd September, 1921:-
"The Learned Elders have been in existence for a much
longer period than they have perhaps suspected. My friend,
Mr. L. D. van Valckert, of Amsterdam, has recently sent me
a letter containing two extracts from the Synagogue at
Mulheim. The volume in which they are contained was lost
at some period during the Napoleonic Wars, and has recently
come into Mr. van Valckert's possession. It is written in
German, and contains extracts of letters sent and received by
the authorities of the Mulheim Synagogue. The first entry he
sends me is of a letter received:-
16th June, 1647.
From O.C. (i.e. Oliver Cromwell), by Ebenezer Pratt.
"In return for financial support will advocate admission of
Jews to England: This however impossible while Charles
living.
Charles cannot be executed without trial, adequate grounds
for which do not at present exist. Therefore advise that
Charles be assassinated, but will have nothing to do with
arrangements for procuring an assassin, though willing to
help in his escape."
In reply was dispatched the following:-
12th July, 1647.
To O.C. by E. Pratt.
"Will grant financial aid as soon as Charles removed and
Jews admitted. Assassination too dangerous. Charles shall
be given opportunity to escape: His recapture will make
trial and execution possible. The support will be liberal, but
useless to discuss terms until trial commences."
Captain Ramsay quotes Isaac Disraeli, father of Benjamin,
Earl of Beaconsfield, Britain's first Jewish Prime Minister, in
his two volume "Life of Charles I", published in 1851: "The
English Revolution under Charles I was unlike any
preceding one . . . From that time and event we contemplate
in our history the phases of revolution." There were many
more to follow on similar lines, notably in France. In 1897 a
further important clue to these mysterious happenings fell
into Gentile hands in the shape of the Protocols of the
Elders of Zion.
In that document we read this remarkable sentence:
"Remember the French Revolution, the secrets of its
preparation are well known to us for it was entirely the work
of our hands." (See Protocol No. III, XIV).
In 1865 a certain Jewish Rabbi named Rzeichorn delivered a
speech at Prague. It is a very accurate summary of many
aspects of the Protocols which would come to light several
decades later and was published eleven years later by Sir
John Radcliff, who was assassinated shortly afterwards,
giving testimony to the powers of the secret organisation of
inner elite Jewry even then.
The presumption is strong that the Protocols were issued, or
reissued, at the First Zionist Congress held at Basle in 1897
under the presidency of the Father of Modern Zionism, the
late Theodore Herzl.
There has been recently published a volume of Herzl's
"Diaries," a translation of some passages which appeared in
the JEWISH CHRONICLE of July 14, 1922. Herzl gives an
account of his first visit to England in 1895, and his
conversation with Colonel Goldsmid, a Jew brought up as a
Christian, an officer in the English Army, and at heart a Jew
Nationalist all the time. Goldsmid suggested to Herzl that
the best way of expropriating the English aristocracy, and so
destroying their power to protect the people of England
against Jew domination, was to put excessive taxes on the
land. Herzl thought this an excellent idea, and it is now to be
found definitely embodied in Protocol VI!
The above extract from Herzl's DIARY is an extremely
significant bit of evidence bearing on the existence of the
Jew World Plot and authenticity of the Protocols, but any
reader of intelligence will be able from his own knowledge
of recent history and from his own experience to confirm the
genuineness of every line of them, and it is in the light of
this LIVING comment that all readers are invited to study
Mr. Marsden's translation of this terribly inhuman document.
Here is what Dr. Ehrenpreis, Chief Rabbi of Sweden, said in
1924, concerning the Protocols: "Long have I been well
acquainted with the contents of the Protocols, indeed for
many years before they were ever published in the Christian
press. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion were in point of
fact not the original Protocols at all, but a compressed
extract of the same. Of the 70 Elders of Zion, in the matter
of origin and of the existence of the original Protocols, there
are only ten men in the entire world who know.
I participated with Dr. Herzl in the first Zionist Congress
which was held in Basle in 1897. Herzl was the most
prominent figure at the Jewish World Congress. Herzl
foresaw, twenty years before we experienced them, the
revolution which brought the Great War, and he prepared us
for that which was to happen. He foresaw the splitting up of
Turkey, that England would obtain control of Palestine. We
may expect important developments in the world."
And here is another very significant circumstance.The
present successor of Herzl, as leader of the Zionist
movement, Dr. Weizmann, quoted one of these sayings at
the send-off banquet given to Chief Rabbi Hertz on October
6, 1920. The Chief Rabbi was on the point of leaving for
HIS Empire tour of H.R.H., the Prince of Wales. And this is
the "saying" of the Sages which Dr. Weizmann quoted: "A
beneficent protection which God has instituted in the life of
the Jew is that He has dispersed him all over the
world." (JEWISH GUARDIAN, Oct. 8, 1920.)
Now compare this with the last clause of but one of Protocol
XI.
"God has granted to us, His Chosen People,
the gift of dispersion, and from this, which
appears to all eyes to be our weakness, has
come forth all our strength, which has now
brought us to the threshold of sovereignty
over all the world."
The remarkable correspondence between these passages
proves several things. It proves that the Learned Elders exist.
It proves that Dr. Weizmann knows all about them. It proves
that the desire for a "National Home" in Palestine is only
camouflage and an infinitesimal part of the Jew's real object.
It proves that the Jews of the world have no intention of
settling in Palestine or any separate country, and that their
annual prayer that they may all meet "Next Year in
Jerusalem" is merely a piece of their characteristic makebelieve.
It also demonstrates that the Jews are now a world
menace, and that the Aryan races will have to domicile them
permanently out of Europe..

WHO ARE THE ELDERS?
This is a secret which has not been revealed. They are the
Hidden Hand. They are not the "Board of Deputies" (the
Jewish Parliament in England) or the "Universal Israelite
Alliance" which sits in Paris. But the late Walter Rathenau
of the Allgemeiner Electricitaets Gesellschaft has thrown a
little light on the subject and doubtless he was in possession
of their names, being, in all likelihood, one of the chief
leaders himself. Writing in the WIENER FREIE PRESSE,
December 24, 1912, he said:
"Three hundred men, each of whom knows
all the others, govern the fate of the European
continent, and they elect their successors
from their entourage."
In the year 1844, on the eve of the Jewish Revolution of
1848, Benjamin Disraeli, whose real name was Israel, and
who was a "damped," or baptized Jew, published his novel,
CONINGSBY, in which occurs this ominous passage:
"The world is governed by very different
personages from what is imagined by those
who are not behind the scenes."
And he went on to show that these personages were all Jews.
Now that Providence has brought to the light of day these
secret Protocols all men may clearly see the hidden
personages specified by Disraeli at work "behind the scenes"
of all the Governments. This revelation entails on all peoples
the grave responsibility of examining and revising AU
FOND their attitude towards the Race and Nation which
boasts of its survival over all Empires.
Notes I. - "Agentur" and "The Political."
There are two words in this translation which are unusual,
the word "AGENTUR" and "political" used as a substantive,
AGENTUR appears to be a word adopted from the original
and it means the whole body of agents and agencies made
use of by the Elders, whether members of the tribe or their
Gentile tools.
By "the Political" Mr. Marsden means, not exactly the
"body politic" but the entire machinery of politics.
Notes II - The Symbolic Snake of Judaism.
Protocol III opens with a reference to the Symbolic Snake of
Judaism. In his Epilogue to the 1905 Edition of the
Protocols, Nilus gives the following interesting account of
this symbol:
"According to the records of secret Jewish Zionism,
Solomon and other Jewish learned men already, in 929 B.C.,
thought out a scheme in theory for a peaceful conquest of the
whole universe by Zion. As history developed, this scheme
was worked out in detail and completed by men who were
subsequently initiated in this question. These learned men
decided by peaceful means to conquer the world for Zion
with the slyness of the Symbolic Snake, whose head was to
represent those who have been initiated into the plans of the
Jewish administration, and the body of the Snake to
represent the Jewish people - the administration was always
kept secret, EVEN FROM THE JEWISH NATION ITSELF.
As this Snake penetrated into the hearts of the nations which
it encountered it undermined and devoured all the non-
Jewish power of these States. It is foretold that the Snake has
still to finish its work, strictly adhering to the designed plan,
until the course which it has to run is closed by the return of
its head to Zion and until, by this means, the Snake has
completed its round of Europe and has encircled it - and
until, by dint of enchaining Europe, it has encompassed the
whole world. This it is to accomplish by using every
endeavor to subdue the other countries by an
ECONOMICAL CONQUEST. The return of the head of the
Snake to Zion can only be accomplished after the power of
all the Sovereign of Europe has been laid low, that is to say,
when by means of economic crises and wholesale
destruction effected everywhere, there shall have been
brought about a spiritual demoralization and a moral
corruption, chiefly with the assistance of Jewish women
masquerading as French, Italians, etc.. These are the surest
spreaders of licentiousness into the lives of the leading men
at the heads of nations. A map of the course of the Symbolic
Snake is shown as follows: - Its first stage in Europe was in
429 B.C. in Greece, where, about the time of Pericles, the
Snake first started eating into the power of that country. The
second stage was in Rome in the time of Augustus, about 69
B.C.. The third in Madrid in the time of Charles V, in A.D.
1552. The fourth in Paris about 1790, in the time of Louis
XVI. The fifth in London from 1814 onwards (after the
downfall of Napoleon). The sixth in Berlin in 1871 after the
Franco-Prussian war. The seventh in St. Petersburg, over
which is drawn the head of the Snake under the date of 1881.
[This "Snake" is now being drawn through the Americas and
in the United States of America, it has been partially
identified as the "Council on Foreign Relations" (C.F.R.)
and the "Trilateral Commission"]. All these States which the
Snake traversed have had the foundations of their
constitutions shaken, Germany, with its apparent power,
forming no exception to the rule. In economic conditions,
England and Germany are spared, but only till the conquest
of Russia is accomplished by the Snake, on which at present
[i.e., 1905] all its efforts are concentrated. The further course
of the Snake is not shown on this map, but arrows indicate
its next movement towards Moscow, Kieft and Odessa. It is
now well known to us to what extent the latter cities form
the centres of the militant Jewish race. Constantinople is
shown as the last stage of the Snake's course before it
reaches Jerusalem. (This map was drawn years before the
occurrence of the "Young Turk" - i.e., Jewish - Revolution
in Turkey).
Notes III. - The term "Goyim," meaning Gentile
or non-Jews, is used throughout the Protocols and is
retained by Mr. Marsden.
PROTOCOL No. 1
1. ....Putting aside fine phrases we shall speak of the
significance of each thought: by comparisons and deductions
we shall throw light upon surrounding facts.
2. What I am about to set forth, then, is our system from the
two points of view, that of ourselves and that of the GOYIM
[i.e., non-Jews].
3. It must be noted that men with bad instincts are more in
number than the good, and therefore the best results in
governing them are attained by violence and terrorisation,
and not by academic discussions. Every man aims at power,
everyone would like to become a dictator if only he could,
and rare indeed are the men who would not be willing to
sacrifice the welfare of all for the sake of securing their own
welfare.
4. What has restrained the beasts of prey who are called
men? What has served for their guidance hitherto?
5. In the beginnings of the structure of society, they were
subjected to brutal and blind force; afterwards - to Law,
which is the same force, only disguised. I draw the
conclusion that by the law of nature, right lies in force.
6. Political freedom is an idea but not a fact. This idea one
must know how to apply whenever it appears necessary with
this bait of an idea to attract the masses of the people to one's
party for the purpose of crushing another who is in authority.
This task is rendered easier if the opponent has himself been
infected with the idea of freedom, SO-CALLED
LIBERALISM, and, for the sake of an idea, is willing to
yield some of his power. It is precisely here that the triumph
of our theory appears; the slackened reins of government are
immediately, by the law of life, caught up and gathered
together by a new hand, because the blind might of the
nation cannot for one single day exist without guidance, and
the new authority merely fits into the place of the old already
weakened by liberalism.
GOLD
7. In our day the power which has replaced that of the rulers
who were liberal is the power of Gold. Time was when Faith
ruled. The idea of freedom is impossible of realization
because no one knows how to use it with moderation. It is
enough to hand over a people to self-government for a
certain length of time for that people to be turned into a
disorganized mob. From that moment on we get internecine
strife which soon develops into battles between classes, in
the midst of which States burn down and their importance is
reduced to that of a heap of ashes.
8. Whether a State exhausts itself in its own convulsions,
whether its internal discord brings it under the power of
external foes - in any case it can be accounted irretrievably
lost: IT IS IN OUR POWER. The despotism of Capital,
which is entirely in our hands, reaches out to it a straw that
the State, willy-nilly, must take hold of: if not - it goes to the
bottom.
9. Should anyone of a liberal mind say that such reflections
as the above are immoral, I would put the following
questions: If every State has two foes and if in regard to the
external foe it is allowed and not considered immoral to use
every manner and art of conflict, as for example to keep the
enemy in ignorance of plans of attack and defense, to attack
him by night or in superior numbers, then in what way can
the same means in regard to a worse foe, the destroyer of the
structure of society and the commonweal, be called immoral
and not permissible?
10. Is it possible for any sound logical mind to hope with
any success to guide crowds by the aid of reasonable
counsels and arguments, when any objection or
contradiction, senseless though it may be, can be made and
when such objection may find more favor with the people,
whose powers of reasoning are superficial? Men in masses
and the men of the masses, being guided solely by petty
passions, paltry beliefs, traditions and sentimental theorems,
fall a prey to party dissension, which hinders any kind of
agreement even on the basis of a perfectly reasonable
argument. Every resolution of a crowd depends upon a
chance or packed majority, which, in its ignorance of
political secrets, puts forth some ridiculous resolution that
lays in the administration a seed of anarchy.
11. The political has nothing in common with the moral. The
ruler who is governed by the moral is not a skilled politician,
and is therefore unstable on his throne. He who wishes to
rule must have recourse both to cunning and to makebelieve.
Great national qualities, like frankness and honesty,
are vices in politics, for they bring down rulers from their
thrones more effectively and more certainly than the most
powerful enemy. Such qualities must be the attributes of the
kingdoms of the GOYIM, but we must in no wise be guided
by them.
RIGHT IS MIGHT
12. Our right lies in force. The word "right" is an abstract
thought and proved by nothing. The word means no more
than: Give me what I want in order that thereby I may have
a proof that I am stronger than you.
13. Where does right begin? Where does it end?
14. In any State in which there is a bad organization of
authority, an impersonality of laws and of the rulers who
have lost their personality amid the flood of rights ever
multiplying out of liberalism, I find a new right - to attack by
the right of the strong, and to scatter to the winds all existing
forces of order and regulation, to reconstruct all institutions
and to become the sovereign lord of those who have left to
us the rights of their power by laying them down voluntarily
in their liberalism.
15. Our power in the present tottering condition of all forms
of power will be more invincible than any other, because it
will remain invisible until the moment when it has gained
such strength that no cunning can any longer undermine it.
16. Out of the temporary evil we are now compelled to
commit will emerge the good of an unshakable rule, which
will restore the regular course of the machinery of the
national life, brought to naught by liberalism. The result
justifies the means. Let us, however, in our plans, direct our
attention not so much to what is good and moral as to what
is necessary and useful.
17. Before us is a plan in which is laid down strategically the
line from which we cannot deviate without running the risk
of seeing the labor of many centuries brought to naught.
18. In order to elaborate satisfactory forms of action it is
necessary to have regard to the rascality, the slackness, the
instability of the mob, its lack of capacity to understand and
respect the conditions of its own life, or its own welfare. It
must be understood that the might of a mob is blind,
senseless and un-reasoning force ever at the mercy of a
suggestion from any side. The blind cannot lead the blind
without bringing them into the abyss; consequently,
members of the mob, upstarts from the people even though
they should be as a genius for wisdom, yet having no
understanding of the political, cannot come forward as
leaders of the mob without bringing the whole nation to ruin.
19. Only one trained from childhood for independent rule
can have understanding of the words that can be made up of
the political alphabet.
20. A people left to itself, i.e., to upstarts from its midst,
brings itself to ruin by party dissensions excited by the
pursuit of power and honors and the disorders arising
therefrom. Is it possible for the masses of the people calmly
and without petty jealousies to form judgment, to deal with
the affairs of the country, which cannot be mixed up with
personal interest? Can they defend themselves from an
external foe? It is unthinkable; for a plan broken up into as
many parts as there are heads in the mob, loses all
homogeneity, and thereby becomes unintelligible and
impossible of execution.
WE ARE DESPOTS
21. It is only with a despotic ruler that plans can be
elaborated extensively and clearly in such a way as to
distribute the whole properly among the several parts of the
machinery of the State: from this the conclusion is inevitable
that a satisfactory form of government for any country is one
that concentrates in the hands of one responsible person.
Without an absolute despotism there can be no existence for
civilization which is carried on not by the masses but by
their guide, whosoever that person may be. The mob is
savage, and displays its savagery at every opportunity. The
moment the mob seizes freedom in its hands it quickly turns
to anarchy, which in itself is the highest degree of savagery.
22. Behold the alcoholic animals, bemused with drink, the
right to an immoderate use of which comes along with
freedom. It is not for us and ours to walk that road. The
peoples of the GOYIM are bemused with alcoholic liquors;
their youth has grown stupid on classicism and from early
immorality, into which it has been inducted by our special
agents - by tutors, lackeys, governesses in the houses of the
wealthy, by clerks and others, by our women in the places of
dissipation frequented by the GOYIM. In the number of
these last I count also the so-called "society ladies,"
voluntary followers of the others in corruption and luxury.
23. Our countersign is - Force and Make-believe. Only force
conquers in political affairs, especially if it be concealed in
the talents essential to statesmen. Violence must be the
principle, and cunning and make-believe the rule for
governments which do not want to lay down their crowns at
the feet of agents of some new power. This evil is the one
and only means to attain the end, the good. Therefore we
must not stop at bribery, deceit and treachery when they
should serve towards the attainment of our end. In politics
one must know how to seize the property of others without
hesitation if by it we secure submission and sovereignty.
24. Our State, marching along the path of peaceful conquest,
has the right to replace the horrors of war by less noticeable
and more satisfactory sentences of death, necessary to
maintain the terror which tends to produce blind submission.
Just but merciless severity is the greatest factor of strength in
the State: not only for the sake of gain but also in the name
of duty, for the sake of victory, we must keep to the
programme of violence and make-believe. The doctrine of
squaring accounts is precisely as strong as the means of
which it makes use. Therefore it is not so much by the means
themselves as by the doctrine of severity that we shall
triumph and bring all governments into subjection to our
super-government. It is enough for them to know that we are
too merciless for all disobedience to cease.
WE SHALL END LIBERTY
25. Far back in ancient times we were the first to cry among
the masses of the people the words "Liberty, Equality,
Fraternity," words many times repeated since these days by
stupid poll-parrots who, from all sides around, flew down
upon these baits and with them carried away the well-being
of the world, true freedom of the individual, formerly so
well guarded against the pressure of the mob. The would-be
wise men of the GOYIM, the intellectuals, could not make
anything out of the uttered words in their abstractedness; did
not see that in nature there is no equality, cannot be freedom:
that Nature herself has established inequality of minds, of
characters, and capacities, just as immutably as she has
established subordination to her laws: never stopped to think
that the mob is a blind thing, that upstarts elected from
among it to bear rule are, in regard to the political, the same
blind men as the mob itself, that the adept, though he be a
fool, can yet rule, whereas the non-adept, even if he were a
genius, understands nothing in the political - to all those
things the GOYIM paid no regard; yet all the time it was
based upon these things that dynastic rule rested: the father
passed on to the son a knowledge of the course of political
affairs in such wise that none should know it but members of
the dynasty and none could betray it to the governed. As
time went on, the meaning of the dynastic transference of the
true position of affairs in the political was lost, and this
aided the success of our cause.
26. In all corners of the earth the words "Liberty, Equality,
Fraternity," brought to our ranks, thanks to our blind agents,
whole legions who bore our banners with enthusiasm. And
all the time these words were canker-worms at work boring
into the well-being of the GOYIM, putting an end
everywhere to peace, quiet, solidarity and destroying all the
foundations of the GOY States. As you will see later, this
helped us to our triumph: it gave us the possibility, among
other things, of getting into our hands the master card - the
destruction of the privileges, or in other words of the very
existence of the aristocracy of the GOYIM, that class which
was the only defense peoples and countries had against us.
On the ruins of the eternal and genealogical aristocracy of
the GOYIM we have set up the aristocracy of our educated
class headed by the aristocracy of money. The qualifications
for this aristocracy we have established in wealth, which is
dependent upon us, and in knowledge, for which our learned
elders provide the motive force.
27. Our triumph has been rendered easier by the fact that in
our relations with the men, whom we wanted, we have
always worked upon the most sensitive chords of the human
mind, upon the cash account, upon the cupidity, upon the
insatiability for material needs of man; and each one of these
human weaknesses, taken alone, is sufficient to paralyze
initiative, for it hands over the will of men to the disposition
of him who has bought their activities.
28. The abstraction of freedom has enabled us to persuade
the mob in all countries that their government is nothing but
the steward of the people who are the owners of the country,
and that the steward may be replaced like a worn-out glove.
29. It is this possibility of replacing the representatives of the
people which has placed at our disposal, and, as it were,
given us the power of appointment.

PROTOCOL No. 2
1. It is indispensable for our purpose that wars, so far as
possible, should not result in territorial gains: war will thus
be brought on to the economic ground, where the nations
will not fail to perceive in the assistance we give the strength
of our predominance, and this state of things will put both
sides at the mercy of our international AGENTUR; which
possesses millions of eyes ever on the watch and
unhampered by any limitations whatsoever. Our
international rights will then wipe out national rights, in the
proper sense of right, and will rule the nations precisely as
the civil law of States rules the relations of their subjects
among themselves.
2. The administrators, whom we shall choose from among
the public, with strict regard to their capacities for servile
obedience, will not be persons trained in the arts of
government, and will therefore easily become pawns in our
game in the hands of men of learning and genius who will be
their advisers, specialists bred and reared from early
childhood to rule the affairs of the whole world. As is well
known to you, these specialists of ours have been drawing to
fit them for rule the information they need from our political
plans from the lessons of history, from observations made of
the events of every moment as it passes. The GOYIM are
not guided by practical use of unprejudiced historical
observation, but by theoretical routine without any critical
regard for consequent results. We need not, therefore, take
any account of them - let them amuse themselves until the
hour strikes, or live on hopes of new forms of enterprising
pastime, or on the memories of all they have enjoyed. For
them let that play the principal part which we have
persuaded them to accept as the dictates of science (theory).
It is with this object in view that we are constantly, by means
of our press, arousing a blind confidence in these theories.
The intellectuals of the GOYIM will puff themselves up
with their knowledges and without any logical verification
of them will put into effect all the information available
from science, which our AGENTUR specialists have
cunningly pieced together for the purpose of educating their
minds in the direction we want.
DESTRUCTIVE EDUCATION
3. Do not suppose for a moment that these statements are
empty words: think carefully of the successes we arranged
for Darwinism, Marxism, Nietzsche-ism. To us Jews, at any
rate, it should be plain to see what a disintegrating
importance these directives have had upon the minds of the
GOYIM.
4. It is indispensable for us to take account of the thoughts,
characters, tendencies of the nations in order to avoid
making slips in the political and in the direction of
administrative affairs. The triumph of our system of which
the component parts of the machinery may be variously
disposed according to the temperament of the peoples met
on our way, will fail of success if the practical application of
it be not based upon a summing up of the lessons of the past
in the light of the present.
5. In the hands of the States of to-day there is a great force
that creates the movement of thought in the people, and that
is the Press. The part played by the Press is to keep pointing
our requirements supposed to be indispensable, to give voice
to the complaints of the people, to express and to create
discontent. It is in the Press that the triumph of freedom of
speech finds its incarnation. But the GOYIM States have not
known how to make use of this force; and it has fallen into
our hands. Through the Press we have gained the power to
influence while remaining ourselves in the shade; thanks to
the Press we have got the GOLD in our hands,
notwithstanding that we have had to gather it out of the
oceans of blood and tears. But it has paid us, though we have
sacrificed many of our people. Each victim on our side is
worth in the sight of God a thousand GOYIM.

PROTOCOL No. 3
1. To-day I may tell you that our goal is now only a few
steps off. There remains a small space to cross and the whole
long path we have trodden is ready now to close its cycle of
the Symbolic Snake, by which we symbolize our people.
When this ring closes, all the States of Europe will be locked
in its coil as in a powerful vice.
2. The constitution scales of these days will shortly break
down, for we have established them with a certain lack of
accurate balance in order that they may oscillate incessantly
until they wear through the pivot on which they turn. The
GOYIM are under the impression that they have welded
them sufficiently strong and they have all along kept on
expecting that the scales would come into equilibrium. But
the pivots - the kings on their thrones - are hemmed in by
their representatives, who play the fool, distraught with their
own uncontrolled and irresponsible power. This power they
owe to the terror which has been breathed into the palaces.
As they have no means of getting at their people, into their
very midst, the kings on their thrones are no longer able to
come to terms with them and so strengthen themselves
against seekers after power. We have made a gulf between
the far-seeing Sovereign Power and the blind force of the
people so that both have lost all meaning, for like the blind
man and his stick, both are powerless apart.
3. In order to incite seekers after power to a misuse of power
we have set all forces in opposition one to another, breaking
up their liberal tendencies towards independence. To this
end we have stirred up every form of enterprise, we have
armed all parties, we have set up authority as a target for
every ambition. Of States we have made gladiatorial arenas
where a lot of confused issues contend ... A little more, and
disorders and bankruptcy will be universal ...
4. Babblers, inexhaustible, have turned into oratorical
contests the sittings of Parliament and Administrative
Boards. Bold journalists and unscrupulous pamphleteers
daily fall upon executive officials. Abuses of power will put
the final touch in preparing all institutions for their
overthrow and everything will fly skyward under the blows
of the maddened mob.
POVERTY OUR WEAPON
5. All people are chained down to heavy toil by poverty
more firmly than ever. They were chained by slavery and
serfdom; from these, one way and another, they might free
themselves. These could be settled with, but from want they
will never get away. We have included in the constitution
such rights as to the masses appear fictitious and not actual
rights. All these so-called "Peoples Rights" can exist only in
idea, an idea which can never be realized in practical life.
What is it to the proletariat laborer, bowed double over his
heavy toil, crushed by his lot in life, if talkers get the right to
babble, if journalists get the right to scribble any nonsense
side by side with good stuff, once the proletariat has no other
profit out of the constitution save only those pitiful crumbs
which we fling them from our table in return for their voting
in favor of what we dictate, in favor of the men we place in
power, the servants of our AGENTUR ... Republican rights
for a poor man are no more than a bitter piece of irony, for
the necessity he is under of toiling almost all day gives him
no present use of them, but the other hand robs him of all
guarantee of regular and certain earnings by making him
dependent on strikes by his comrades or lockouts by his
masters.
WE SUPPORT COMMUNISM
6. The people, under our guidance, have annihilated the
aristocracy, who were their one and only defense and fostermother
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 moneygrinding
scoundrels who have laid a pitiless and cruel yoke
upon the necks of the workers.
7. We appear on the scene as alleged saviours of the worker
from this oppression when we propose to him to enter the
ranks of our fighting forces - Socialists, Anarchists,
Communists - to whom we always give support in
accordance with an alleged brotherly rule (of the solidarity
of all humanity) of our SOCIAL MASONRY. The
aristocracy, which enjoyed by law the labor of the workers,
was interested in seeing that the workers were well fed,
healthy, and strong. We are interested in just the opposite -
in the diminution, the KILLING OUT OF THE GOYIM.
Our power is in the chronic shortness of food and physical
weakness of the worker because by all that this implies he is
made the slave of our will, and he will not find in his own
authorities either strength or energy to set against our will.
Hunger creates the right of capital to rule the worker more
surely than it was given to the aristocracy by the legal
authority of kings.
8. By want and the envy and hatred which it engenders we
shall move the mobs and with their hands we shall wipe out
all those who hinder us on our way.
9. WHEN THE HOUR STRIKES FOR OUR SOVEREIGN
LORD OF ALL THE WORLD TO BE CROWNED IT IS
THESE SAME HANDS WHICH WILL SWEEP AWAY
EVERYTHING THAT MIGHT BE A HINDRANCE
THERETO. (The Biblical "Anti-Christ?")
10. The GOYIM have lost the habit of thinking unless
prompted by the suggestions of our specialists. Therefore
they do not see the urgent necessity of what we, when our
kingdom comes, shall adopt at once, namely this, that IT IS
ESSENTIAL TO TEACH IN NATIONAL SCHOOLS ONE
SIMPLE, TRUE PIECE OF KNOWLEDGE, THE BASIS
OF ALL KNOWLEDGE - THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE
STRUCTURE OF HUMAN LIFE, OF SOCIAL
EXISTENCE, WHICH REQUIRES DIVISION OF
LABOR, AND, CONSEQUENTLY, THE DIVISION OF
MEN INTO CLASSES AND CONDITIONS. It is essential
for all to know that OWING TO DIFFERENCE IN THE
OBJECTS OF HUMAN ACTIVITY THERE CANNOT BE
ANY EQUALITY, that he, who by any act of his
compromises a whole class, cannot be equally responsible
before the law with him who affects no one but only his own
honor. The true knowledge of the structure of society, into
the secrets of which we do not admit the GOYIM, would
demonstrate to all men that the positions and work must be
kept within a certain circle, that they may not become a
source of human suffering, arising from an education which
does not correspond with the work which individuals are
called upon to do. After a thorough study of this knowledge,
the peoples will voluntarily submit to authority and accept
such position as is appointed them in the State. In the present
state of knowledge and the direction we have given to its
development of the people, blindly believing things in print -
cherishes - thanks to promptings intended to mislead and to
its own ignorance - a blind hatred towards all conditions
which it considers above itself, for it has no understanding of
the meaning of class and condition.
JEWS WILL BE SAFE
11. THIS HATRED WILL BE STILL FURTHER
MAGNIFIED BY THE EFFECTS of an ECONOMIC
CRISES, which will stop dealing on the exchanges and bring
industry to a standstill. We shall create by all the secret
subterranean methods open to us and with the aid of gold,
which is all in our hands, A UNIVERSAL ECONOMIC
CRISES WHEREBY WE SHALL THROW UPON THE
STREETS WHOLE MOBS OF WORKERS
SIMULTANEOUSLY IN ALL THE COUNTRIES OF
EUROPE. These mobs will rush delightedly to shed the
blood of those whom, in the simplicity of their ignorance,
they have envied from their cradles, and whose property
they will then be able to loot.
12. "OURS" THEY WILL NOT TOUCH, BECAUSE THE
MOMENT OF ATTACK WILL BE KNOWN TO US AND
WE SHALL TAKE MEASURES TO PROTECT OUR
OWN.
13. We have demonstrated that progress will bring all the
GOYIM to the sovereignty of reason. Our despotism will be
precisely that; for it will know how, by wise severities, to
pacificate all unrest, to cauterize liberalism out of all
institutions.
14. When the populace has seen that all sorts of concessions
and indulgences are yielded it, in the same name of freedom
it has imagined itself to be sovereign lord and has stormed
its way to power, but, naturally like every other blind man, it
has come upon a host of stumbling blocks. IT HAS
RUSHED TO FIND A GUIDE, IT HAS NEVER HAD THE
SENSE TO RETURN TO THE FORMER STATE and it has
laid down its plenipotentiary powers at OUR feet.
Remember the French Revolution, to which it was we who
gave the name of "Great": the secrets of its preparations are
well known to us for it was wholly the work of our hands.
15. Ever since that time we have been leading the peoples
from one disenchantment to another, so that in the end they
should turn also from us in favor of that KING-DESPOT OF
THE BLOOD OF ZION, WHOM WE ARE PREPARING
FOR THE WORLD.
16. At the present day we are, as an international force,
invincible, because if attacked by some we are supported by
other States. It is the bottomless rascality of the GOYIM
peoples, who crawl on their bellies to force, but are
merciless towards weakness, unsparing to faults and
indulgent to crimes, unwilling to bear the contradictions of a
free social system but patient unto martyrdom under the
violence of a bold despotism - it is those qualities which are
aiding us to independence. From the premier-dictators of the
present day, the GOYIM peoples suffer patiently and bear
such abuses as for the least of them they would have
beheaded twenty kings.
17. What is the explanation of this phenomenon, this curious
inconsequence of the masses of the peoples in their attitude
towards what would appear to be events of the same order?
18. It is explained by the fact that these dictators whisper to
the peoples through their agents that through these abuses
they are inflicting injury on the States with the highest
purpose - to secure the welfare of the peoples, the
international brotherhood of them all, their solidarity and
equality of rights. Naturally they do not tell the peoples that
this unification must be accomplished only under our
sovereign rule.
19. And thus the people condemn the upright and acquit the
guilty, persuaded ever more and more that it can do
whatsoever it wishes. Thanks to this state of things, the
people are destroying every kind of stability and creating
disorders at every step.
20. The word "freedom" brings out the communities of men
to fight against every kind of force, against every kind of
authority even against God and the laws of nature. For this
reason we, when we come into our kingdom, shall have to
erase this word from the lexicon of life as implying a
principle of brute force which turns mobs into bloodthirsty
beasts.
21. These beasts, it is true, fall asleep again every time when
they have drunk their fill of blood, and at such time can
easily be riveted into their chains. But if they be not given
blood they will not sleep and continue to struggle.
PROTOCOL No. 4
1. Every republic passes through several stages. The first of
these is comprised in the early days of mad raging by the
blind mob, tossed hither and thither, right and left: the
second is demagogy from which is born anarchy, and that
leads inevitably to despotism - not any longer legal and
overt, and therefore responsible despotism, but to unseen
and secretly hidden, yet nevertheless sensibly felt despotism
in the hands of some secret organization or other, whose acts
are the more unscrupulous inasmuch as it works behind a
screen, behind the backs of all sorts of agents, the changing
of whom not only does not injuriously affect but actually
aids the secret force by saving it, thanks to continual
changes, from the necessity of expanding its resources on
the rewarding of long services.
2. Who and what is in a position to overthrow an invisible
force? And this is precisely what our force is. GENTILE
masonry blindly serves as a screen for us and our objects,
but the plan of action of our force, even its very abidingplace,
remains for the whole people an unknown mystery.
WE SHALL DESTROY GOD
3. But even freedom might be harmless and have its place in
the State economy without injury to the well-being of the
peoples if it rested upon the foundation of faith in God, upon
the brotherhood of humanity, unconnected with the
conception of equality, which is negatived by the very laws
of creation, for they have established subordination. With
such a faith as this a people might be governed by a
wardship of parishes, and would walk contentedly and
humbly under the guiding hand of its spiritual pastor
submitting to the dispositions of God upon earth. This is the
reason why IT IS INDISPENSABLE FOR US TO
UNDERMINE ALL FAITH, TO TEAR OUT OF THE
MIND OF THE "GOYIM" THE VERY PRINCIPLE OF
GOD-HEAD AND THE SPIRIT, AND TO PUT IN ITS
PLACE ARITHMETICAL CALCULATIONS AND
MATERIAL NEEDS.
4. In order to give the GOYIM no time to think and take
note, their minds must be diverted towards industry and
trade. Thus, all the nations will be swallowed up in the
pursuit of gain and in the race for it will not take note of
their common foe. But again, in order that freedom may
once for all disintegrate and ruin the communities of the
GOYIM, we must put industry on a speculative basis: the
result of this will be that what is withdrawn from the land by
industry will slip through the hands and pass into
speculation, that is, to our classes.
5. The intensified struggle for superiority and shocks
delivered to economic life will create, nay, have already
created, disenchanted, cold and heartless communities. Such
communities will foster a strong aversion towards the higher
political and towards religion. Their only guide is gain, that
is Gold, which they will erect into a veritable cult, for the
sake of those material delights which it can give. Then will
the hour strike when, not for the sake of attaining the good,
not even to win wealth, but solely out of hatred towards the
privileged, the lower classes of the GOYIM will follow our
lead against our rivals for power, the intellectuals of the
GOYIM.
Table of Contents/ . . .
PROTOCOL No. 5
1. What form of administrative rule can be given to
communities in which corruption has penetrated everywhere,
communities where riches are attained only by the clever
surprise tactics of semi-swindling tricks; where loseness
reigns: where morality is maintained by penal measures and
harsh laws but not by voluntarily accepted principles: where
the feelings towards faith and country are obligated by
cosmopolitan convictions? What form of rule is to be given
to these communities if not that despotism which I shall
describe to you later? We shall create an intensified
centralization of government in order to grip in our hands all
the forces of the community. We shall regulate mechanically
all the actions of the political life of our subjects by new
laws. These laws will withdraw one by one all the
indulgences and liberties which have been permitted by the
GOYIM, and our kingdom will be distinguished by a
despotism of such magnificent proportions as to be at any
moment and in every place in a position to wipe out any
GOYIM who oppose us by deed or word.
2. We shall be told that such a despotism as I speak of is not
consistent with the progress of these days, but I will prove to
you that it is.
3. In the times when the peoples looked upon kings on their
thrones as on a pure manifestation of the will of God, they
submitted without a murmur to the despotic power of kings:
but from the day when we insinuated into their minds the
conception of their own rights they began to regard the
occupants of thrones as mere ordinary mortals. The holy
unction of the Lord's Anointed has fallen from the heads of
kings in the eyes of the people, and when we also robbed
them of their faith in God the might of power was flung
upon the streets into the place of public proprietorship and
was seized by us.
MASSES LED BY LIES
4. Moreover, the art of directing masses and individuals by
means of cleverly manipulated theory and verbiage, by
regulations of life in common and all sorts of other quirks, in
all which the GOYIM understand nothing, belongs likewise
to the specialists of our administrative brain. Reared on
analysis, observation, on delicacies of fine calculation, in
this species of skill we have no rivals, any more than we
have either in the drawing up of plans of political actions
and solidarity. In this respect the Jesuits alone might have
compared with us, but we have contrived to discredit them in
the eyes of the unthinking mob as an overt organization,
while we ourselves all the while have kept our secret
organization in the shade. However, it is probably all the
same to the world who is its sovereign lord, whether the
head of Catholicism or our despot of the blood of Zion! But
to us, the Chosen People, it is very far from being a matter of
indifference.
5. FOR A TIME PERHAPS WE MIGHT BE
SUCCESSFULLY DEALT WITH BY A COALITION OF
THE "GOYIM" OF ALL THE WORLD: but from this
danger we are secured by the discord existing among them
whose roots are so deeply seated that they can never now be
plucked up. We have set one against another the personal
and national reckonings of the GOYIM, religious and race
hatreds, which we have fostered into a huge growth in the
course of the past twenty centuries. This is the reason why
there is not one State which would anywhere receive support
if it were to raise its arm, for every one of them must bear in
mind that any agreement against us would be unprofitable to
itself. We are too strong - there is no evading our power.
THE NATIONS CANNOT COME TO EVEN AN
INCONSIDERABLE PRIVATE AGREEMENT WITHOUT
OUR SECRETLY HAVING A HAND IN IT.
6. PER ME REGES REGNANT. "It is through me that
Kings reign." And it was said by the prophets that we were
chosen by God Himself to rule over the whole earth. God
has endowed us with genius that we may be equal to our
task. Were genius in the opposite camp it would still struggle
against us, but even so, a newcomer is no match for the oldestablished
settler: the struggle would be merciless between
us, such a fight as the world has never seen. Aye, and the
genius on their side would have arrived too late. All the
wheels of the machinery of all States go by the force of the
engine, which is in our hands, and that engine of the
machinery of States is - Gold. The science of political
economy invented by our learned elders has for long past
been giving royal prestige to capital.
MONOPOLY CAPITAL
7. Capital, if it is to co-operate untrammeled, must be free to
establish a monopoly of industry and trade: this is already
being put in execution by an unseen hand in all quarters of
the world. This freedom will give political force to those
engaged in industry, and that will help to oppress the people.
Nowadays it is more important to disarm the peoples than to
lead them into war: more important to use for our advantage
the passions which have burst into flames than to quench
their fire: more important to eradicate them. THE
PRINCIPLE OBJECT OF OUR DIRECTORATE
CONSISTS IN THIS: TO DEBILITATE THE PUBLIC
MIND BY CRITICISM; TO LEAD IT AWAY FROM
SERIOUS REFLECTIONS CALCULATED TO AROUSE
RESISTANCE; TO DISTRACT THE FORCES OF THE
MIND TOWARDS A SHAM FIGHT OF EMPTY
ELOQUENCE.
8. In all ages the people of the world, equally with
individuals, have accepted words for deeds, for THEY ARE
CONTENT WITH A SHOW and rarely pause to note, in the
public arena, whether promises are followed by
performance. Therefore we shall establish show institutions
which will give eloquent proof of their benefit to progress.
9. We shall assume to ourselves the liberal physiognomy of
all parties, of all directions, and we shall give that
physiognomy a VOICE IN ORATORS WHO WILL SPEAK
SO MUCH THAT THEY WILL EXHAUST THE
PATIENCE OF THEIR HEARERS AND PRODUCE AN
ABHORRENCE OF ORATORY.
10. IN ORDER TO PUT PUBLIC OPINION INTO OUR
HANDS WE MUST BRING IT INTO A STATE OF
BEWILDERMENT BY GIVING EXPRESSION FROM
ALL SIDES TO SO MANY CONTRADICTORY
OPINIONS AND FOR SUCH LENGTH OF TIME AS
WILL SUFFICE TO MAKE THE "GOYIM" LOSE THEIR
HEADS IN THE LABYRINTH AND COME TO SEE
THAT THE BEST THING IS TO HAVE NO OPINION OF
ANY KIND IN MATTERS POLITICAL, which it is not
given to the public to understand, because they are
understood only by him who guides the public. This is the
first secret.
11. The second secret requisite for the success of our
government is comprised in the following: To multiply to
such an extent national failings, habits, passions, conditions
of civil life, that it will be impossible for anyone to know
where he is in the resulting chaos, so that the people in
consequence will fail to understand one another. This
measure will also serve us in another way, namely, to sow
discord in all parties, to dislocate all collective forces which
are still unwilling to submit to us, and to discourage any
kind of personal initiative which might in any degree hinder
our affair. THERE IS NOTHING MORE DANGEROUS
THAN PERSONAL INITIATIVE: if it has genius behind it,
such initiative can do more than can be done by millions of
people among whom we have sown discord. We must so
direct the education of the GOYIM communities that
whenever they come upon a matter requiring initiative they
may drop their hands in despairing impotence. The strain
which results from freedom of actions saps the forces when
it meets with the freedom of another. From this collision
arise grave moral shocks, disenchantments, failures. BY
ALL THESE MEANS WE SHALL SO WEAR DOWN
THE "GOYIM" THAT THEY WILL BE COMPELLED TO
OFFER US INTERNATIONAL POWER OF A NATURE
THAT BY ITS POSITION WILL ENABLE US WITHOUT
ANY VIOLENCE GRADUALLY TO ABSORB ALL THE
STATE FORCES OF THE WORLD AND TO FORM A
SUPER-GOVERNMENT. In place of the rulers of to-day
we shall set up a bogey which will be called the Super-
Government Administration. Its hands will reach out in all
directions like nippers and its organization will be of such
colossal dimensions that it cannot fail to subdue all the
nations of the world. (League of Nations and subsequent
United Nations Organization - Ed.).
Table of Contents/ . . .
PROTOCOL No. 6
1. We shall soon begin to establish huge monopolies,
reservoirs of colossal riches, upon which even large fortunes
of the GOYIM will depend to such an extent that they will
go to the bottom together with the credit of the States on the
day after the political smash ... (Compulsory superannuation,
Social Security).
2. You gentlemen here present who are economists, just
strike an estimate of the significance of this combination! ...
3. In every possible way we must develop the significance of
our Super-Government by representing it as the Protector
and Benefactor of all those who voluntarily submit to us.
4. The aristocracy of the GOYIM as a political force, is dead
- We need not take it into account; but as landed proprietors
they can still be harmful to us from the fact that they are
self-sufficing in the resources upon which they live. It is
essential therefore for us at whatever cost to deprive them of
their land. This object will be best attained by increasing the
burdens upon landed property - in loading lands with debts.
These measures will check land-holding and keep it in a
state of humble and unconditional submission.
5. The aristocrats of the GOYIM, being hereditarily
incapable of contenting themselves with little, will rapidly
burn up and fizzle out.
WE SHALL ENSLAVE GENTILES
6. At the same time we must intensively patronize trade and
industry, but, first and foremost, speculation, the part played
by which is to provide a counterpoise to industry: the
absence of speculative industry will multiply capital in
private hands and will serve to restore agriculture by freeing
the land from indebtedness to the land banks. What we want
is that industry should drain off from the land both labor and
capital and by means of speculation transfer into our hands
all the money of the world, and thereby throw all the
GOYIM into the ranks of the proletariat. Then the GOYIM
will bow down before us, if for no other reason but to get the
right to exist.
7. To complete the ruin of the industry of the GOYIM we
shall bring to the assistance of speculation the luxury which
we have developed among the GOYIM, that greedy demand
for luxury which is swallowing up everything. WE SHALL
RAISE THE RATE OF WAGES WHICH, HOWEVER,
WILL NOT BRING ANY ADVANTAGE TO THE
WORKERS, FOR, AT THE SAME TIME, WE SHALL
PRODUCE A RISE IN PRICES OF THE FIRST
NECESSARIES OF LIFE, ALLEGING THAT IT ARISES
FROM THE DECLINE OF AGRICULTURE AND
CATTLE-BREEDING: WE SHALL FURTHER
UNDERMINE ARTFULLY AND DEEPLY SOURCES OF
PRODUCTION, BY ACCUSTOMING THE WORKERS
TO ANARCHY AND TO DRUNKENNESS AND SIDE
BY SIDE THEREWITH TAKING ALL MEASURE TO
EXTIRPATE FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH ALL
THE EDUCATED FORCES OF THE "GOYIM."
8. IN ORDER THAT THE TRUE MEANING OF THINGS
MAY NOT STRIKE THE "GOYIM" BEFORE THE
PROPER TIME WE SHALL MASK IT UNDER AN
ALLEGED ARDENT DESIRE TO SERVE THE
WORKING CLASSES AND THE GREAT PRINCIPLES
OF POLITICAL ECONOMY ABOUT WHICH OUR
ECONOMIC THEORIES ARE CARRYING ON AN
ENERGETIC PROPAGANDA.

PROTOCOL No. 7
1. The intensification of armaments, the increase of police
forces - are all essential for the completion of the
aforementioned plans. What we have to get at is that there
should be in all the States of the world, besides ourselves,
only the masses of the proletariat, a few millionaires devoted
to our interests, police and soldiers.
2. Throughout all Europe, and by means of relations with
Europe, in other continents also, we must create ferments,
discords and hostility. Therein we gain a double advantage.
In the first place we keep in check all countries, for they will
know that we have the power whenever we like to create
disorders or to restore order. All these countries are
accustomed to see in us an indispensable force of coercion.
In the second place, by our intrigues we shall tangle up all
the threads which we have stretched into the cabinets of all
States by means of the political, by economic treaties, or
loan obligations. In order to succeed in this we must use
great cunning and penetration during negotiations and
agreements, but, as regards what is called the "official
language," we shall keep to the opposite tactics and assume
the mask of honesty and complacency. In this way the
peoples and governments of the GOYIM, whom we have
taught to look only at the outside whatever we present to
their notice, will still continue to accept us as the benefactors
and saviours of the human race.
UNIVERSAL WAR
3. We must be in a position to respond to every act of
opposition by war with the neighbors of that country which
dares to oppose us: but if these neighbors should also
venture to stand collectively together against us, then we
must offer resistance by a universal war.
4. The principal factor of success in the political is the
secrecy of its undertakings: the word should not agree with
the deeds of the diplomat.
5. We must compel the governments of the GOYIM to take
action in the direction favored by our widely conceived plan,
already approaching the desired consummation, by what we
shall represent as public opinion, secretly promoted by us
through the means of that so-called "Great Power" - THE
PRESS, WHICH, WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS THAT
MAY BE DISREGARDED, IS ALREADY ENTIRELY IN
OUR HANDS.
6. In a word, to sum up our system of keeping the
governments of the goyim in Europe in check, we shall show
our strength to one of them by terrorist attempts and to all, if
we allow the possibility of a general rising against us, we
shall respond with the guns of America or China or Japan.
(The Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 - Ed.).

PROTOCOL No. 8
1. We must arm ourselves with all the weapons which our
opponents might employ against us. We must search out in
the very finest shades of expression and the knotty points of
the lexicon of law justification for those cases where we
shall have to pronounce judgments that might appear
abnormally audacious and unjust, for it is important that
these resolutions should be set forth in expressions that shall
seem to be the most exalted moral principles cast into legal
form. (Genocide Convention? U.N. Declaration of the
Rights of the Child?) Our directorate must surround itself
with all these forces of civilization among which it will have
to work. It will surround itself with publicists, practical
jurists, administrators, diplomats and, finally, with persons
prepared by a special super-educational training IN OUR
SPECIAL SCHOOLS (Rhodes Scholars? London School of
Economics?) These persons will have consonance of all the
secrets of the social structure, they will know all the
languages that can be made up by political alphabets and
words; they will be made acquainted with the whole
underside of human nature, with all its sensitive chords on
which they will have to play. These chords are the cast of
mind of the GOYIM, their tendencies, short-comings, vices
and qualities, the particularities of classes and conditions.
Needless to say that the talented assistants of authority, of
whom I speak, will be taken not from among the GOYIM,
who are accustomed to perform their administrative work
without giving themselves the trouble to think what its aim
is, and never consider what it is needed for. The
administrators of the GOYIM sign papers without reading
them, ( As Margaret Thatcher signed-away British
sovereignty by the Maastricht Treaty? As Australian
Parliamentarians signed over 2,000 U.N. Treaties . . .
unread?) and they serve either for mercenary reasons or
from ambition.
2. We shall surround our government with a whole world of
economists. That is the reason why economic sciences form
the principal subject of the teaching given to the Jews.
Around us again will be a whole constellation of bankers,
industrialists, capitalists and - THE MAIN THING -
MILLIONAIRES, BECAUSE IN SUBSTANCE
EVERYTHING WILL BE SETTLED BY THE QUESTION
OF FIGURES.
3. For a time, until there will no longer be any risk in
entrusting responsible posts in our State to our brother-Jews,
we shall put them in the hands of persons whose past and
reputation are such that between them and the people lies an
abyss, persons who, in case of disobedience to our
instructions, must face criminal charges or disappear - this in
order to make them defend our interests to their last gasp.
Table of Contents/ . . .
PROTOCOL No. 9
1. In applying our principles let attention be paid to the
character of the people in whose country you live and act; a
general, identical application of them, until such time as the
people shall have been re-educated to our pattern, cannot
have success. But by approaching their application
cautiously you will see that not a decade will pass before the
most stubborn character will change and we shall add a new
people to the ranks of those already subdued by us.
2. The words of the liberal, which are in effect the words of
our masonic watchword, namely, "Liberty, Equality,
Fraternity," will, when we come into our kingdom, be
changed by us into words no longer of a watchword, but
only an expression of idealism, namely, into "The right of
liberty, the duty of equality, the ideal of brotherhood." That
is how we shall put it, - and so we shall catch the bull by the
horns ... DE FACTO we have already wiped out every kind
of rule except our own, although DE JURE there still remain
a good many of them. Nowadays, if any States raise a protest
against us it is only PRO FORMA at our discretion and by
our direction, for THEIR ANTI-SEMITISM IS
INDISPENSABLE TO US FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF
OUR LESSER BRETHREN. I will not enter into further
explanations, for this matter has formed the subject of
repeated discussions amongst us.
JEWISH SUPER-STATE
3. For us there are not checks to limit the range of our
activity. Our Super-Government subsists in extra-legal
conditions which are described in the accepted terminology
by the energetic and forcible word - Dictatorship. I am in a
position to tell you with a clear conscience that at the proper
time we, the law-givers, shall execute judgment and
sentence, we shall slay and we shall spare, we, as head of all
our troops, are mounted on the steed of the leader. We rule
by force of will, because in our hands are the fragments of a
once powerful party, now vanquished by us. AND THE
WEAPONS IN OUR HANDS ARE LIMITLESS
AMBITIONS, BURNING GREEDINESS, MERCILESS
VENGEANCE, HATREDS AND MALICE.
4. IT IS FROM US THAT THE ALL-ENGULFING
TERROR PROCEEDS. WE HAVE IN OUR SERVICE
PERSONS OF ALL OPINIONS, OF ALL DOCTRINES,
RESTORATING MONARCHISTS, DEMAGOGUES,
SOCIALISTS, COMMUNISTS, AND UTOPIAN
DREAMERS OF EVERY KIND. We have harnessed them
all to the task: EACH ONE OF THEM ON HIS OWN
ACCOUNT IS BORING AWAY AT THE LAST
REMNANTS OF AUTHORITY, IS STRIVING TO
OVERTHROW ALL ESTABLISHED FORM OF ORDER.
By these acts all States are in torture; they exhort to
tranquility, are ready to sacrifice everything for peace: BUT
WE WILL NOT GIVE THEM PEACE UNTIL THEY
OPENLY ACKNOWLEDGE OUR INTERNATIONAL
SUPER-GOVERNMENT, AND WITH
SUBMISSIVENESS.
5. The people have raised a howl about the necessity of
settling the question of Socialism by way of an international
agreement. DIVISION INTO FRACTIONAL PARTIES
HAS GIVEN THEM INTO OUR HANDS, FOR, IN
ORDER TO CARRY ON A CONTESTED STRUGGLE
ONE MUST HAVE MONEY, AND THE MONEY IS ALL
IN OUR HANDS.
6. We might have reason to apprehend a union between the
"clear-sighted" force of the GOY kings on their thrones and
the "blind" force of the GOY mobs, but we have taken all
the needful measure against any such possibility: between
the one and the other force we have erected a bulwark in the
shape of a mutual terror between them. In this way the blind
force of the people remains our support and we, and we
only, shall provide them with a leader and, of course, direct
them along the road that leads to our goal.
7. In order that the hand of the blind mob may not free itself
from our guiding hand, we must every now and then enter
into close communion with it, if not actually in person, at
any rate through some of the most trusty of our brethren.
When we are acknowledged as the only authority we shall
discuss with the people personally on the market, places, and
we shall instruct them on questings of the political in such
wise as may turn them in the direction that suits us.
8. Who is going to verify what is taught in the village
schools? But what an envoy of the government or a king on
his throne himself may say cannot but become immediately
known to the whole State, for it will be spread abroad by the
voice of the people.
9. In order to annihilate the institutions of the GOYIM
before it is time we have touched them with craft and
delicacy, and have taken hold of the ends of the springs
which move their mechanism. These springs lay in a strict
but just sense of order; we have replaced them by the chaotic
license of liberalism. We have got our hands into the
administration of the law, into the conduct of elections, into
the press, into liberty of the person, BUT PRINCIPALLY
INTO EDUCATION AND TRAINING AS BEING THE
CORNERSTONES OF A FREE EXISTENCE.
CHRISTIAN YOUTH DESTROYED
10. WE HAVE FOOLED, BEMUSED AND CORRUPTED
THE YOUTH OF THE "GOYIM" BY REARING THEM
IN PRINCIPLES AND THEORIES WHICH ARE KNOWN
TO US TO BE FALSE ALTHOUGH IT IS THAT THEY
HAVE BEEN INCULCATED.
11. Above the existing laws without substantially altering
them, and by merely twisting them into contradictions of
interpretations, we have erected something grandiose in the
way of results. These results found expression in the fact that
the INTERPRETATIONS MASKED THE LAW: afterwards
they entirely hid them from the eyes of the governments
owing to the impossibility of making anything out of the
tangled web of legislation.
12. This is the origin of the theory of course of arbitration.
13. You may say that the GOYIM will rise upon us, arms in
hand, if they guess what is going on before the time comes;
but in the West we have against this a manoeuvre of such
appalling terror that the very stoutest hearts quail - the
undergrounds, metropolitans, those subterranean corridors
which, before the time comes, will be driven under all the
capitals and from whence those capitals will be blown into
the air with all their organizations and archives.
PROTOCOL No. 10
1. To-day I begin with a repetition of what I said before, and
I BEG YOU TO BEAR IN MIND THAT GOVERNMENTS
AND PEOPLE ARE CONTENT IN THE POLITICAL
WITH OUTSIDE APPEARANCES. And how, indeed, are
the GOYIM to perceive the underlying meaning of things
when their representatives give the best of their energies to
enjoying themselves? For our policy it is of the greatest
importance to take cognizance of this detail; it will be of
assistance to us when we come to consider the division of
authority of property, of the dwelling, of taxation (the idea
of concealed taxes, of the reflex force of the laws. All these
questions are such as ought not to be touched upon directly
and openly before the people. In cases where it is
indispensable to touch upon them they must not be
categorically named, it must merely be declared without
detailed exposition that the principles of contemporary law
are acknowledged by us. The reason of keeping silence in
this respect is that by not naming a principle we leave
ourselves freedom of action, to drop this or that out of it
without attracting notice; if they were all categorically
named they would all appear to have been already given.
2. The mob cherishes a special affection and respect for the
geniuses of political power and accepts all their deeds of
violence with the admiring response: "rascally, well, yes, it
is rascally, but it's clever! ... a trick, if you like, but how
craftily played, how magnificently done, what impudent
audacity!" ...
OUR GOAL - WORLD POWER
3. We count upon attracting all nations to the task of erecting
the new fundamental structure, the project for which has
been drawn up by us. This is why, before everything, it is
indispensable for us to arm ourselves and to store up in
ourselves that absolutely reckless audacity and irresistible
might of the spirit which in the person of our active workers
will break down all hindrances on our way.
4. WHEN WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED OUR COUP
D'ETAT WE SHALL SAY THEN TO THE VARIOUS
PEOPLES: "EVERYTHING HAS GONE TERRIBLY
BADLY, ALL HAVE BEEN WORN OUT WITH
SUFFERING. WE ARE DESTROYING THE CAUSES OF
YOUR TORMENT - NATIONALITIES, FRONTIERS,
DIFFERENCES OF COINAGES. YOU ARE AT LIBERTY,
OF COURSE, TO PRONOUNCE SENTENCE UPON US,
BUT CAN IT POSSIBLY BE A JUST ONE IF IT IS
CONFIRMED BY YOU BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY TRIAL
OF WHAT WE ARE OFFERING YOU." ... THEN WILL
THE MOB EXALT US AND BEAR US UP IN THEIR
HANDS IN A UNANIMOUS TRIUMPH OF HOPES AND
EXPECTATIONS. VOTING, WHICH WE HAVE MADE
THE INSTRUMENT WHICH WILL SET US ON THE
THRONE OF THE WORLD BY TEACHING EVEN THE
VERY SMALLEST UNITS OF MEMBERS OF THE
HUMAN RACE TO VOTE BY MEANS OF MEETINGS
AND AGREEMENTS BY GROUPS, WILL THEN HAVE
SERVED ITS PURPOSES AND WILL PLAY ITS PART
THEN FOR THE LAST TIME BY A UNANIMITY OF
DESIRE TO MAKE CLOSE ACQUAINTANCE WITH US
BEFORE CONDEMNING US.
5. TO SECURE THIS WE MUST HAVE EVERYBODY
VOTE WITHOUT DISTINCTION OF CLASSES AND
QUALIFICATIONS, in order to establish an absolute
majority, which cannot be got from the educated propertied
classes. In this way, by inculcating in all a sense of selfimportance,
we shall destroy among the GOYIM the
importance of the family and its educational value and
remove the possibility of individual minds splitting off, for
the mob, handled by us, will not let them come to the front
nor even give them a hearing; it is accustomed to listen to us
only who pay it for obedience and attention. In this way we
shall create a blind, mighty force which will never be in a
position to move in any direction without the guidance of
our agents set at its head by us as leaders of the mob. The
people will submit to this regime because it will know that
upon these leaders will depend its earnings, gratifications
and the receipt of all kinds of benefits.
6. A scheme of government should come ready made from
one brain, because it will never be clinched firmly if it is
allowed to be split into fractional parts in the minds of many.
It is allowable, therefore, for us to have cognizance of the
scheme of action but not to discuss it lest we disturb its
artfulness, the interdependence of its component parts, the
practical force of the secret meaning of each clause. To
discuss and make alterations in a labor of this kind by means
of numerous votings is to impress upon it the stamp of all
ratiocinations and misunderstandings which have failed to
penetrate the depth and nexus of its plottings. We want our
schemes to be forcible and suitably concocted. Therefore
WE OUGHT NOT TO FLING THE WORK OF GENIUS
OF OUR GUIDE to the fangs of the mob or even of a select
company.
7. These schemes will not turn existing institutions upside
down just yet. They will only effect changes in their
economy and consequently in the whole combined
movement of their progress, which will thus be directed
along the paths laid down in our schemes.
POISON OF LIBERALISM
8. Under various names there exists in all countries
approximately one and the same thing. Representation,
Ministry, Senate, State Council, Legislative and Executive
Corps. I need not explain to you the mechanism of the
relation of these institutions to one another, because you are
aware of all that; only take note of the fact that each of the
above-named institutions corresponds to some important
function of the State, and I would beg you to remark that the
word "important" I apply not to the institution but to the
function, consequently it is not the institutions which are
important but their functions. These institutions have divided
up among themselves all the functions of government -
administrative, legislative, executive, wherefore they have
come to operate as do the organs in the human body. If we
injure one part in the machinery of State, the State falls sick,
like a human body, and ... will die.
9. When we introduced into the State organism the poison of
Liberalism its whole political complexion underwent a
change. States have been seized with a mortal illness - blood
poisoning. All that remains is to await the end of their death
agony.
10. Liberalism produced Constitutional States, which took
the place of what was the only safeguard of the GOYIM,
namely, Despotism; and A CONSTITUTION, AS YOU
WELL KNOW, IS NOTHING ELSE BUT A SCHOOL OF
DISCORDS, misunderstandings, quarrels, disagreements,
fruitless party agitations, party whims - in a word, a school
of everything that serves to destroy the personality of State
activity. THE TRIBUNE OF THE "TALKERIES" HAS, NO
LESS EFFECTIVELY THAN THE PRESS,
CONDEMNED THE RULERS TO INACTIVITY AND
IMPOTENCE, and thereby rendered them useless and
superfluous, for which reason indeed they have been in
many countries deposed. THEN IT WAS THAT THE ERA
OF REPUBLICS BECOME POSSIBLE OF
REALIZATION; AND THEN IT WAS THAT WE
REPLACED THE RULER BY A CARICATURE OF A
GOVERNMENT - BY A PRESIDENT, TAKEN FROM
THE MOB, FROM THE MIDST OF OUR PUPPET
CREATURES, OR SLAVES. This was the foundation of the
mine which we have laid under the GOY people, I should
rather say, under the GOY peoples.
WE NAME PRESIDENTS
11. In the near future we shall establish the responsibility of
presidents.
12. By that time we shall be in a position to disregard forms
in carrying through matters for which our impersonal puppet
will be responsible. What do we care if the ranks of those
striving for power should be thinned, if there should arise a
deadlock from the impossibility of finding presidents, a
deadlock which will finally disorganize the country? ...
13. In order that our scheme may produce this result we shall
arrange elections in favor of such presidents as have in their
past some dark, undiscovered stain, some "Panama" or other
- then they will be trustworthy agents for the
accomplishment of our plans out of fear of revelations and
from the natural desire of everyone who has attained power,
namely, the retention of the privileges, advantages and honor
connected with the office of president. The chamber of
deputies will provide cover for, will protect, will elect
presidents, but we shall take from it the right to propose
new, or make changes in existing laws, for this right will be
given by us to the responsible president, a puppet in our
hands. Naturally, the authority of the presidents will then
become a target for every possible form of attack, but we
shall provide him with a means of self-defense in the right of
an appeal to the people, for the decision of the people over
the heads of their representatives, that is to say, an appeal to
that same blind slave of ours - the majority of the mob.
Independently of this we shall invest the president with the
right of declaring a state of war. We shall justify this last
right on the ground that the president as chief of the whole
army of the country must have it at his disposal, in case of
need for the defense of the new republican constitution, the
right to defend which will belong to him as the responsible
representative of this constitution. (Iran? Grenada? Kuwait?
Iraq? Panama? Somalia? Bosnia? Kosovo? Indonesia?)
14. It is easy to understand that in these conditions the key of
the shrine will lie in our hands, and no one outside ourselves
will any longer direct the force of legislation.
15. Besides this we shall, with the introduction of the new
republican constitution, take from the Chamber the right of
interpolation on government measures, on the pretext of
preserving political secrecy, and, further, we shall by the
new constitution reduce the number of representatives to a
minimum, thereby proportionately reducing political
passions and the passion for politics. If, however, they
should, which is hardly to be expected, burst into flame,
even in this minimum, we shall nullify them by a stirring
appeal and a reference to the majority of the whole people ...
Upon the president will depend the appointment of
presidents and vice-presidents of the Chamber and the
Senate. Instead of constant sessions of Parliaments we shall
reduce their sittings to a few months. Moreover, the
president, as chief of the executive power, will have the right
to summon and dissolve Parliament, and, in the latter case,
to prolong the time for the appointment of a new
parliamentary assembly. But in order that the consequences
of all these acts which in substance are illegal, should not,
prematurely for our plans, fall upon the responsibility
established by us of the president, WE SHALL INSTIGATE
MINISTERS AND OTHER OFFICIALS OF THE HIGHER
ADMINISTRATION ABOUT THE PRESIDENT TO
EVADE HIS DISPOSITIONS BY TAKING MEASURES
OF THEIR OWN, for doing which they will be made the
scapegoats in his place ... This part we especially
recommend to be given to be played by the Senate, the
Council of State, or the Council of Ministers, but not to an
individual official.
16. The president will, at our discretion, interpret the sense
of such of the existing laws as admit of various
interpretation; he will further annul them when we indicate
to him the necessity to do so, besides this, he will have the
right to propose temporary laws, and even new departures in
the government constitutional working, the pretext both for
the one and the other being the requirements for the supreme
welfare of the State. (Presidential Decrees such as F.D.R.
employed to debase the US dollar and steal the gold and to
place the U.S. under a permanent State of Emergency and
War against its own citizens?)
WE SHALL DESTROY
17. By such measure we shall obtain the power of destroying
little by little, step by step, all that at the outset when we
enter on our rights, we are compelled to introduce into the
constitutions of States to prepare for the transition to an
imperceptible abolition of every kind of constitution, and
then the time is come to turn every form of government into
OUR DESPOTISM.
18. The recognition of our despot may also come before the
destruction of the constitution; the moment for this
recognition will come when the peoples, utterly wearied by
the irregularities and incompetence - a matter which we shall
arrange for - of their rulers, will clamor: "Away with them
and give us one king over all the earth who will unite us and
annihilate the causes of disorders - frontiers, nationalities,
religions, State debts - who will give us peace and quiet
which we cannot find under our rulers and representatives."
19. But you yourselves perfectly well know that TO
PRODUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE EXPRESSION
OF SUCH WISHES BY ALL THE NATIONS IT IS
INDISPENSABLE TO TROUBLE IN ALL COUNTRIES
THE PEOPLE'S RELATIONS WITH THEIR
GOVERNMENTS SO AS TO UTTERLY EXHAUST
HUMANITY WITH DISSENSION, HATRED,
STRUGGLE, ENVY AND EVEN BY THE USE OF
TORTURE, BY STARVATION, BY THE INOCULATION
OF DISEASES, BY WANT, SO THAT THE "GOYIM"
SEE NO OTHER ISSUE THAN TO TAKE REFUGE IN
OUR COMPLETE SOVEREIGNTY IN MONEY AND IN
ALL ELSE.
20. But if we give the nations of the world a breathing space
the moment we long for is hardly likely ever to arrive.
Table of Contents/ . . .
PROTOCOL No. 11
1. The State Council has been, as it were, the emphatic
expression of the authority of the ruler: it will be, as the
"show" part of the Legislative Corps, what may be called the
editorial committee of the laws and decrees of the ruler.
2. This, then, is the program of the new constitution. We
shall make Law, Right and Justice (1) in the guise of
proposals to the Legislative Corps, (2) by decrees of the
president under the guise of general regulations, of orders of
the Senate and of resolutions of the State Council in the
guise of ministerial orders, (3) and in case a suitable
occasion should arise - in the form of a revolution in the
State.
3. Having established approximately the MODUS AGENDI
we will occupy ourselves with details of those combinations
by which we have still to complete the revolution in the
course of the machinery of State in the direction already
indicated. By these combinations I mean the freedom of the
Press, the right of association, freedom of conscience, the
voting principle, and many another that must disappear for
ever from the memory of man, or undergo a radical
alteration the day after the promulgation of the new
constitution. It is only at the moment that we shall be able at
once to announce all our orders, for, afterwards, every
noticeable alteration will be dangerous, for the following
reasons: if this alteration be brought in with harsh severity
and in a sense of severity and limitations, it may lead to a
feeling of despair caused by fear of new alterations in the
same direction; if, on the other hand, it be brought in a sense
of further indulgences it will be said that we have recognized
our own wrong-doing and this will destroy the prestige of
the infallibility of our authority, or else it will be said that we
have become alarmed and are compelled to show a yielding
disposition, for which we shall get no thanks because it will
be supposed to be compulsory ... Both the one and the other
are injurious to the prestige of the new constitution. What we
want is that from the first moment of its promulgation, while
the peoples of the world are still stunned by the
accomplished fact of the revolution, still in a condition of
terror and uncertainty, they should recognize once for all
that we are so strong, so inexpugnable, so super-abundantly
filled with power, that in no case shall we take any account
of them, and so far from paying any attention to their
opinions or wishes, we are ready and able to crush with
irresistible power all expression or manifestation thereof at
every moment and in every place, that we have seized at
once everything we wanted and shall in no case divide our
power with them ... Then in fear and trembling they will
close their eyes to everything, and be content to await what
will be the end of it all.
WE ARE WOLVES
4. The GOYIM are a flock of sheep, and we are their
wolves. And you know what happens when the wolves get
hold of the flock? ....
5. There is another reason also why they will close their
eyes: for we shall keep promising them to give back all the
liberties we have taken away as soon as we have quelled the
enemies of peace and tamed all parties ....
6. It is not worth to say anything about how long a time they
will be kept waiting for this return of their liberties ....
7. For what purpose then have we invented this whole policy
and insinuated it into the minds of the GOY without giving
them any chance to examine its underlying meaning? For
what, indeed, if not in order to obtain in a roundabout way
what is for our scattered tribe unattainable by the direct
road? It is this which has served as the basis for our
organization of SECRET MASONRY WHICH IS NOT
KNOWN TO, AND AIMS WHICH ARE NOT EVEN SO
MUCH AS SUSPECTED BY, THESE "GOY" CATTLE,
ATTRACTED BY US INTO THE "SHOW" ARMY OF
MASONIC LODGES IN ORDER TO THROW DUST IN
THE EYES OF THEIR FELLOWS.
8. God has granted to us, His Chosen People, the gift of the
dispersion, and in this which appears in all eyes to be our
weakness, has come forth all our strength, which has now
brought us to the threshold of sovereignty over all the world.
9. There now remains not much more for us to build up upon
the foundation we have laid.
Table of Contents/ . . .
PROTOCOL No. 12
1. The word "freedom," which can be interpreted in various
ways, is defined by us as follows -
2. Freedom is the right to do what which the law allows.
This interpretation of the word will at the proper time be of
service to us, because all freedom will thus be in our hands,
since the laws will abolish or create only that which is
desirable for us according to the aforesaid program.
3. We shall deal with the press in the following way: what is
the part played by the press to-day? It serves to excite and
inflame those passions which are needed for our purpose or
else it serves selfish ends of parties. It is often vapid, unjust,
mendacious, and the majority of the public have not the
slightest idea what ends the press really serves. We shall
saddle and bridle it with a tight curb: we shall do the same
also with all productions of the printing press, for where
would be the sense of getting rid of the attacks of the press if
we remain targets for pamphlets and books? The produce of
publicity, which nowadays is a source of heavy expense
owing to the necessity of censoring it, will be turned by us
into a very lucrative source of income to our State: we shall
lay on it a special stamp tax and require deposits of cautionmoney
before permitting the establishment of any organ of
the press or of printing offices; these will then have to
guarantee our government against any kind of attack on the
part of the press. For any attempt to attack us, if such still be
possible, we shall inflict fines without mercy. Such measures
as stamp tax, deposit of caution-money and fines secured by
these deposits, will bring in a huge income to the
government. It is true that party organs might not spare
money for the sake of publicity, but these we shall shut up at
the second attack upon us. No one shall with impunity lay a
finger on the aureole of our government infallibility. The
pretext for stopping any publication will be the alleged plea
that it is agitating the public mind without occasion or
justification. I BEG YOU TO NOTE THAT AMONG
THOSE MAKING ATTACKS UPON US WILL ALSO BE
ORGANS ESTABLISHED BY US, BUT THEY WILL
ATTACK EXCLUSIVELY POINTS THAT WE HAVE
PRE-DETERMINED TO ALTER.
WE CONTROL THE PRESS
4. NOT A SINGLE ANNOUNCEMENT WILL REACH
THE PUBLIC WITHOUT OUR CONTROL. Even now this
is already being attained by us inasmuch as all news items
are received by a few agencies, in whose offices they are
focused from all parts of the world. These agencies will then
be already entirely ours and will give publicity only to what
we dictate to them.
5. If already now we have contrived to possess ourselves of
the minds of the GOY communities to such an extent the
they all come near looking upon the events of the world
through the colored glasses of those spectacles we are setting
astride their noses; if already now there is not a single State
where there exist for us any barriers to admittance into what
GOY stupidity calls State secrets: what will our positions be
then, when we shall be acknowledged supreme lords of the
world in the person of our king of all the world ....
6. Let us turn again to the FUTURE OF THE PRINTING
PRESS. Every one desirous of being a publisher, librarian,
or printer, will be obliged to provide himself with the
diploma instituted therefore, which, in case of any fault, will
be immediately impounded. With such measures THE
INSTRUMENT OF THOUGHT WILL BECOME AN
EDUCATIVE MEANS ON THE HANDS OF OUR
GOVERNMENT, WHICH WILL NO LONGER ALLOW
THE MASS OF THE NATION TO BE LED ASTRAY IN
BY-WAYS AND FANTASIES ABOUT THE BLESSINGS
OF PROGRESS. Is there any one of us who does not know
that these phantom blessings are the direct roads to foolish
imaginings which give birth to anarchical relations of men
among themselves and towards authority, because progress,
or rather the idea of progress, has introduced the conception
of every kind of emancipation, but has failed to establish its
limits .... All the so-called liberals are anarchists, if not in
fact, at any rate in thought. Every one of them in hunting
after phantoms of freedom, and falling exclusively into
license, that is, into the anarchy of protest for the sake of
protest....
FREE PRESS DESTROYED
7. We turn to the periodical press. We shall impose on it, as
on all printed matter, stamp taxes per sheet and deposits of
caution-money, and books of less than 30 sheets will pay
double. We shall reckon them as pamphlets in order, on the
one hand, to reduce the number of magazines, which are the
worst form of printed poison, and, on the other, in order that
this measure may force writers into such lengthy productions
that they will be little read, especially as they will be costly.
At the same time what we shall publish ourselves to
influence mental development in the direction laid down for
our profit will be cheap and will be read voraciously. The
tax will bring vapid literary ambitions within bounds and the
liability to penalties will make literary men dependent upon
us. And if there should be any found who are desirous of
writing against us, they will not find any person eager to
print their productions. Before accepting any production for
publication in print, the publisher or printer will have to
apply to the authorities for permission to do so. Thus we
shall know beforehand of all tricks preparing against us and
shall nullify them by getting ahead with explanations on the
subject treated of.
8. Literature and journalism are two of the most important
educative forces, and therefore our government will become
proprietor of the majority of the journals. This will
neutralize the injurious influence of the privately-owned
press and will put us in possession of a tremendous influence
upon the public mind .... If we give permits for ten journals,
we shall ourselves found thirty, and so on in the same
proportion. This, however, must in no wise be suspected by
the public. For which reason all journals published by us will
be of the most opposite, in appearance, tendencies and
opinions, thereby creating confidence in us and bringing
over to us quite unsuspicious opponents, who will thus fall
into our trap and be rendered harmless.
9. In the front rank will stand organs of an official character.
They will always stand guard over our interests, and
therefore their influence will be comparatively insignificant.
10. In the second rank will be the semi-official organs,
whose part it will be to attack the tepid and indifferent.
11. In the third rank we shall set up our own, to all
appearance, opposition, which, in at least one of its organs,
will present what looks like the very antipodes to us. Our
real opponents at heart will accept this simulated opposition
as their own and will show us their cards.
12. All our newspapers will be of all possible complexions --
aristocratic, republican, revolutionary, even anarchical - for
so long, of course, as the constitution exists .... Like the
Indian idol "Vishnu" they will have a hundred hands, and
every one of them will have a finger on any one of the public
opinions as required. When a pulse quickens these hands
will lead opinion in the direction of our aims, for an excited
patient loses all power of judgment and easily yields to
suggestion. Those fools who will think they are repeating the
opinion of a newspaper of their own camp will be repeating
our opinion or any opinion that seems desirable for us. In the
vain belief that they are following the organ of their party
they will, in fact, follow the flag which we hang out for
them.
13. In order to direct our newspaper militia in this sense we
must take special and minute care in organizing this matter.
Under the title of central department of the press we shall
institute literary gatherings at which our agents will without
attracting attention issue the orders and watchwords of the
day. By discussing and controverting, but always
superficially, without touching the essence of the matter, our
organs will carry on a sham fight fusillade with the official
newspapers solely for the purpose of giving occasion for us
to express ourselves more fully than could well be done
from the outset in official announcements, whenever, of
course, that is to our advantage.
14. THESE ATTACKS UPON US WILL ALSO SERVE
ANOTHER PURPOSE, NAMELY, THAT OUR
SUBJECTS WILL BE CONVINCED TO THE
EXISTENCE OF FULL FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND SO
GIVE OUR AGENTS AN OCCASION TO AFFIRM THAT
ALL ORGANS WHICH OPPOSE US ARE EMPTY
BABBLERS, since they are incapable of finding any
substantial objections to our orders.
ONLY LIES PRINTED
15. Methods of organization like these, imperceptible to the
public eye but absolutely sure, are the best calculated to
succeed in bringing the attention and the confidence of the
public to the side of our government. Thanks to such
methods we shall be in a position as from time to time may
be required, to excite or to tranquillize the public mind on
political questions, to persuade or to confuse, printing now
truth, now lies, facts or their contradictions, according as
they may be well or ill received, always very cautiously
feeling our ground before stepping upon it .... WE SHALL
HAVE A SURE TRIUMPH OVER OUR OPPONENTS
SINCE THEY WILL NOT HAVE AT THEIR
DISPOSITION ORGANS OF THE PRESS IN WHICH
THEY CAN GIVE FULL AND FINAL EXPRESSION TO
THEIR VIEWS owing to the aforesaid methods of dealing
with the press. We shall not even need to refute them except
very superficially.
16. Trial shots like these, fired by us in the third rank of our
press, in case of need, will be energetically refuted by us in
our semi-official organs.
17. Even nowadays, already, to take only the French press,
there are forms which reveal masonic solidarity in acting on
the watchword: all organs of the press are bound together by
professional secrecy; like the augurs of old, not one of their
numbers will give away the secret of his sources of
information unless it be resolved to make announcement of
them. Not one journalist will venture to betray this secret,
for not one of them is ever admitted to practice literature
unless his whole past has some disgraceful sore or other ....
These sores would be immediately revealed. So long as they
remain the secret of a few the prestige of the journalist
attacks the majority of the country - the mob follow after
him with enthusiasm.
18. Our calculations are especially extended to the
provinces. It is indispensable for us to inflame there those
hopes and impulses with which we could at any moment fall
upon the capital, and we shall represent to the capitals that
these expressions are the independent hopes and impulses of
the provinces. Naturally, the source of them will be always
one and the same - ours. WHAT WE NEED IS THAT,
UNTIL SUCH TIME AS WE ARE IN THE PLENITUDE
POWER, THE CAPITALS SHOULD FIND
THEMSELVES STIFLED BY THE PROVINCIAL
OPINION OF THE NATIONS, I.E., OF A MAJORITY
ARRANGED BY OUR AGENTUR. What we need is that at
the psychological moment the capitals should not be in a
position to discuss an accomplished fact for the simple
reason, if for no other, that it has been accepted by the public
opinion of a majority in the provinces.
19. WHEN WE ARE IN THE PERIOD OF THE NEW
REGIME TRANSITIONAL TO THAT OF OUR
ASSUMPTION OF FULL SOVEREIGNTY WE MUST
NOT ADMIT ANY REVELATION BY THE PRESS OF
ANY FORM OF PUBLIC DISHONESTY; IT IS
NECESSARY THAT THE NEW REGIME SHOULD BE
THOUGHT TO HAVE SO PERFECTLY CONTENDED
EVERYBODY THAT EVEN CRIMINALITY HAS
DISAPPEARED ... Cases of the manifestation of criminality
should remain known only to their victims and to chance
witnesses - no more.
PROTOCOL No. 13
1. The need for daily bread forces the GOYIM to keep
silence and be our humble servants. Agents taken on to our
press from among the GOYIM will at our orders discuss
anything which it is inconvenient for us to issue directly in
official documents, and we meanwhile, quietly amid the din
of the discussion so raised, shall simply take and carry
through such measures as we wish and then offer them to the
public as an accomplished fact. No one will dare to demand
the abrogation of a matter once settled, all the more so as it
will be represented as an improvement ... And immediately
the press will distract the current of thought towards, new
questions, (have we not trained people always to be seeking
something new?). Into the discussions of these new
questions will throw themselves those of the brainless
dispensers of fortunes who are not able even now to
understand that they have not the remotest conception about
the matters which they undertake to discuss. Questions of
the political are unattainable for any save those who have
guided it already for many ages, the creators.
2. From all this you will see that in securing the opinion of
the mob we are only facilitating the working of our
machinery, and you may remark that it is not for actions but
for words issued by us on this or that question that we seem
to seek approval. We are constantly making public
declaration that we are guided in all our undertakings by the
hope, joined to the conviction, that we are serving the
common weal.
WE DECEIVE WORKERS
3. In order to distract people who may be too troublesome
from discussions of questions of the political we are now
putting forward what we allege to be new questions of the
political, namely, questions of industry. In this sphere let
them discuss themselves silly! The masses are agreed to
remain inactive, to take a rest from what they suppose to be
political (which we trained them to in order to use them as a
means of combating the GOY governments) only on
condition of being found new employments, in which we are
prescribing them something that looks like the same political
object. In order that the masses themselves may not guess
what they are about WE FURTHER DISTRACT THEM
WITH AMUSEMENTS, GAMES, PASTIMES,
PASSIONS, PEOPLE'S PALACES .... SOON WE SHALL
BEGIN THROUGH THE PRESS TO PROPOSE
COMPETITIONS IN ART, IN SPORT IN ALL KINDS:
these interests will finally distract their minds from
questions in which we should find ourselves compelled to
oppose them. Growing more and more unaccustomed to
reflect and form any opinions of their own, people will begin
to talk in the same tone as we because we alone shall be
offering them new directions for thought ... of course
through such persons as will not be suspected of solidarity
with us.
4. The part played by the liberals, utopian dreamers, will be
finally played out when our government is acknowledged.
Till such time they will continue to do us good service.
Therefore we shall continue to direct their minds to all sorts
of vain conceptions of fantastic theories, new and apparently
progressive: for have we not with complete success turned
the brainless heads of the GOYIM with progress, till there is
not among the GOYIM one mind able to perceive that under
this word lies a departure from truth in all cases where it is
not a question of material inventions, for truth is one, and in
it there is no place for progress. Progress, like a fallacious
idea, serves to obscure truth so that none may know it except
us, the Chosen of God, its guardians.
5. When, we come into our kingdom our orators will
expound great problems which have turned humanity upside
down in order to bring it at the end under our beneficent
rule.
6. Who will ever suspect then that ALL THESE PEOPLES
WERE STAGE-MANAGED BY US ACCORDING TO A
POLITICAL PLAN WHICH NO ONE HAS SO MUCH AS
GUESSED AT IN THE COURSE OF MANY
CENTURIES?
Table of Contents/ . . .
PROTOCOL No. 14
1. When we come into our kingdom it will be undesirable
for us that there should exist any other religion than ours of
the One God with whom our destiny is bound up by our
position as the Chosen People and through whom our same
destiny is united with the destinies of the world. We must
therefore sweep away all other forms of belief. If this gives
birth to the atheists whom we see to-day, it will not, being
only a transitional stage, interfere with our views, but will
serve as a warning for those generations which will hearken
to our preaching of the religion of Moses, that, by its stable
and thoroughly elaborated system has brought all the
peoples of the world into subjection to us. Therein we shall
emphasize its mystical right, on which, as we shall say, all
its educative power is based .... Then at every possible
opportunity we shall publish articles in which we shall make
comparisons between our beneficent rule and those of past
ages. The blessing of tranquillity, though it be a tranquillity
forcibly brought about by centuries of agitation, will throw
into higher relief the benefits to which we shall point. The
errors of the GOYIM governments will be depicted by us in
the most vivid hues. We shall implant such an abhorrence of
them that the peoples will prefer tranquillity in a state of
serfdom to those rights of vaunted freedom which have
tortured humanity and exhausted the very sources of human
existence, sources which have been exploited by a mob of
rascally adventurers who know not what they do ....
USELESS CHANGES OF FORMS OF GOVERNMENT
TO WHICH WE INSTIGATED THE "GOYIM" WHEN
WE WERE UNDERMINING THEIR STATE
STRUCTURES, WILL HAVE SO WEARIED THE
PEOPLES BY THAT TIME THAT THEY WILL PREFER
TO SUFFER ANYTHING UNDER US RATHER THAN
RUN THE RISK OF ENDURING AGAIN ALL THE
AGITATIONS AND MISERIES THEY HAVE GONE
THROUGH.
WE SHALL FORBID CHRIST
2. At the same time we shall not omit to emphasize the
historical mistakes of the GOY governments which have
tormented humanity for so many centuries by their lack of
understanding of everything that constitutes the true good of
humanity in their chase after fantastic schemes of social
blessings, and have never noticed that these schemes kept on
producing a worse and never a better state of the universal
relations which are the basis of human life ...
3. The whole force of our principles and methods will lie in
the fact that we shall present them and expound them as a
splendid contrast to the dead and decomposed old order of
things in social life.
4. Our philosophers will discuss all the shortcomings of the
various beliefs of the "GOYIM," BUT NO ONE WILL
EVER BRING UNDER DISCUSSION OUR FAITH FROM
ITS TRUE POINT OF VIEW SINCE THIS WILL BE
FULLY LEARNED BY NONE SAVE OURS WHO WILL
NEVER DARE TO BETRAY ITS SECRETS.
5. IN COUNTRIES KNOWN AS PROGRESSIVE AND
ENLIGHTENED WE HAVE CREATED A SENSELESS,
FILTHY, ABOMINABLE LITERATURE. For some time
after our entrance to power we shall continue to encourage
its existence in order to provide a telling relief by contrast to
the speeches, party program, which will be distributed from
exalted quarters of ours .... Our wise men, trained to become
leaders of the GOYIM, will compose speeches, projects,
memoirs, articles, which will be used by us to influence the
minds of the GOYIM, directing them towards such
understanding and forms of knowledge as have been
determined by us.
Table of Contents/ . . .
PROTOCOL No. 15
1. When we at last definitely come into our kingdom by the
aid of COUPS D'ETAT prepared everywhere for one and the
same day, after definitely acknowledged (and not a little
time will pass before that comes about, perhaps even a
whole century) we shall make it our task to see that against
us such things as plots shall no longer exist. With this
purpose we shall slay without mercy all who take arms (in
hand, like Waco? Randy Weaver? Port Arthur? Oklahoma?)
to oppose our coming into our kingdom. Every kind of new
institution of anything like a secret society will also be
punished with death; those of them which are now in
existence, are known to us, serve us and have served us, we
shall disband and send into exile to continents far removed
from Europe. IN THIS WAY WE SHALL PROCEED
WITH THOSE "GOY" MASONS WHO KNOW TOO
MUCH; such of these as we may for some reason spare will
be kept in constant fear of exile. We shall promulgate a law
making all former members of secret societies liable to exile
from Europe as the center of rule.
2. Resolutions of our government will be final, without
appeal.
3. In the GOY societies, in which we have planted and
deeply rooted discord and protestantism, the only possible
way of restoring order is to employ merciless measures that
prove the direct force of authority: no regard must be paid to
the victims who fall, they suffer for the well-being of the
future. The attainment of that well-being, even at the
expense of sacrifices, is the duty of any kind of government
that acknowledges as justification for its existence not only
its privileges but its obligations. The principal guarantee of
stability of rule is to confirm the aureole of power, and this
aureole is attained only by such a majestic inflexibility of
might as shall carry on its face the emblems of inviolability
from mystical causes - from the choice of God. SUCH
WAS, UNTIL RECENT TIMES, THE RUSSIAN
AUTOCRACY, THE ONE AND ONLY SERIOUS FOE
WE HAD IN THE WORLD, WITHOUT COUNTING THE
PAPACY. Bear in mind the example when Italy, drenched
with blood, never touched a hair of the head of Sulla who
had poured forth that blood: Sulla enjoyed an apotheosis for
his might in him, but his intrepid return to Italy ringed him
round with inviolability. The people do not lay a finger on
him who hypnotizes them by his daring and strength of
mind.
SECRET SOCIETIES
4. Meantime, however, until we come into our kingdom, we
shall act in the contrary way: we shall create and multiply
free masonic lodges in all the countries of the world, absorb
into them all who may become or who are prominent in
public activity, for these lodges we shall find our principal
intelligence office and means of influence. All these lodges
we shall bring under one central administration, known to us
alone and to all others absolutely unknown, which will be
composed of our learned elders. The lodges will have their
representatives who will serve to screen the abovementioned
administration of MASONRY and from whom
will issue the watchword and program. In these lodges we
shall tie together the knot which binds together all
revolutionary and liberal elements. Their composition will
be made up of all strata of society. The most secret political
plots will be known to us and fall under our guiding hands
on the very day of their conception. AMONG THE
MEMBERS OF THESE LODGES WILL BE ALMOST
ALL THE AGENTS OF INTERNATIONAL AND
NATIONAL POLICE since their service is for us
irreplaceable in the respect that the police is in a position not
only to use its own particular measures with the
insubordinate, but also to screen our activities and provide
pretexts for discontents, ET CETERA.
5. The class of people who most willingly enter into secret
societies are those who live by their wits, careerists, and in
general people, mostly light-minded, with whom we shall
have no difficulty in dealing and in using to wind up the
mechanism of the machine devised by us. If this world
grows agitated the meaning of that will be that we have had
to stir up in order to break up its too great solidarity. BUT IF
THERE SHOULD ARISE IN ITS MIDST A PLOT, THEN
AT THE HEAD OF THAT PLOT WILL BE NO OTHER
THAN ONE OF OUR MOST TRUSTED SERVANTS. It is
natural that we and no other should lead MASONIC
activities, for we know whither we are leading, we know the
final goal of every form of activity whereas the GOYIM
have knowledge of nothing, not even of the immediate effect
of action; they put before themselves, usually, the
momentary reckoning of the satisfaction of their self-opinion
in the accomplishment of their thought without even
remarking that the very conception never belonged to their
initiative but to our instigation of their thought ...
GENTILES ARE STUPID
6. The GOYIM enter the lodges out of curiosity or in the
hope by their means to get a nibble at the public pie, and
some of them in order to obtain a hearing before the public
for their impracticable and groundless fantasies: they thirst
for the emotion of success and applause, of which we are
remarkably generous. And the reason why we give them this
success is to make use of the high conceit of themselves to
which it gives birth, for that insensibly disposes them to
assimulate our suggestions without being on their guard
against them in the fullness of their confidence that it is their
own infallibility which is giving utterance to their own
thoughts and that it is impossible for them to borrow those of
others .... You cannot imagine to what extent the wisest of
the GOYIM can be brought to a state of unconscious naivete
in the presence of this condition of high conceit of
themselves, and at the same time how easy it is to take the
heart out of them by the slightest ill-success, though it be
nothing more than the stoppage of the applause they had,
and to reduce them to a slavish submission for the sake of
winning a renewal of success .... BY SO MUCH AS OURS
DISREGARD SUCCESS IF ONLY THEY CAN CARRY
THROUGH THEIR PLANS, BY SO MUCH THE
"GOYIM" ARE WILLING TO SACRIFICE ANY PLANS
ONLY TO HAVE SUCCESS. This psychology of theirs
materially facilitates for us the task of setting them in the
required direction. These tigers in appearance have the souls
of sheep and the wind blows freely through their heads. We
have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the
absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of
COLLECTIVISM .... They have never yet and they never
will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a
manifest violation of the most important law of nature,
which has established from the very creation of the world
one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of
instituting individuality ....
7. If we have been able to bring them to such a pitch of
stupid blindness is it not a proof, and an amazingly clear
proof, of the degree to which the mind of the GOYIM is
undeveloped in comparison with our mind? This it is,
mainly, which guarantees our success.
GENTILES ARE CATTLE
8. And how far-seeing were our learned elders in ancient
times when they said that to attain a serious end it behooves
not to stop at any means or to count the victims sacrificed
for the sake of that end .... We have not counted the victims
of the seed of the GOY cattle, though we have sacrificed
many of our own, but for that we have now already given
them such a position on the earth as they could not even
have dreamed of. The comparatively small numbers of the
victims from the number of ours have preserved our
nationality from destruction.
9. Death is the inevitable end for all. It is better to bring that
end nearer to those who hinder our affairs than to ourselves,
to the founders of this affair. WE EXECUTE MASONS IN
SUCH WISE THAT NONE SAVE THE BROTHERHOOD
CAN EVER HAVE A SUSPICION OF IT, NOT EVEN
THE VICTIMS THEMSELVES OF OUR DEATH
SENTENCE, THEY ALL DIE WHEN REQUIRED AS IF
FROM A NORMAL KIND OF ILLNESS ..... Knowing this,
even the brotherhood in its turn dare not protest. By such
methods we have plucked out of the midst of MASONRY
the very root of protest against our disposition. While
preaching liberalism to the GOY we at the same time keep
our own people and our agents in a state of unquestioning
submission.
10. Under our influence the execution of the laws of the
GOYIM has been reduced to a minimum. The prestige of the
law has been exploded by the liberal interpretations
introduced into this sphere. In the most important and
fundamental affairs and questions, JUDGES DECIDE AS
WE DICTATE TO THEM, see matters in the light
wherewith we enfold them for the administration of the
GOYIM, of course, through persons who are our tools
though we do not appear to have anything in common with
them - by newspaper opinion or by other means .... Even
senators and the higher administration accept our counsels.
The purely brute mind of the GOYIM is incapable of use for
analysis and observation, and still more for the foreseeing
whither a certain manner of setting a question may tend.
11. In this difference in capacity for thought between the
GOYIM and ourselves may be clearly discerned the seal of
our position as the Chosen People and of our higher quality
of humanness, in contradistinction to the brute mind of the
GOYIM. Their eyes are open, but see nothing before them
and do not invent (unless perhaps, material things). From
this it is plain that nature herself has destined us to guide and
rule the world.
WE DEMAND SUBMISSION
12. When comes the time of our overt rule, the time to
manifest its blessing, we shall remake all legislatures, all our
laws will be brief, plain, stable, without any kind of
interpretations, so that anyone will be in a position to know
them perfectly. The main feature which will run right
through them is submission to orders, and this principle will
be carried to a grandiose height. Every abuse will then
disappear in consequence of the responsibility of all down to
the lowest unit before the higher authority of the
representative of power. Abuses of power subordinate to this
last instance will be so mercilessly punished that none will
be found anxious to try experiments with their own powers.
We shall follow up jealously every action of the
administration on which depends the smooth running of the
machinery of the State, for slackness in this produces
slackness everywhere; not a single case of illegality or abuse
of power will be left without exemplary punishment.
13. Concealment of guilt, connivance between those in the
service of the administration - all this kind of evil will
disappear after the very first examples of severe punishment.
The aureole of our power demands suitable, that is, cruel,
punishments for the slightest infringement, for the sake of
gain, of its supreme prestige. The sufferer, though his
punishment may exceed his fault, will count as a soldier
falling on the administrative field of battle in the interests of
authority, principle and law, which do not permit that any of
those who hold the reins of the public coach should turn
aside from the public highway to their own private paths.
FOR EXAMPLES OUR JUDGES WILL KNOW THAT
WHENEVER THEY FEEL DISPOSED TO PLUME
THEMSELVES ON FOOLISH CLEMENCY THEY ARE
VIOLATING THE LAW OF JUSTICE WHICH IS
INSTITUTED FOR THE EXEMPLARY EDIFICATION
OF MEN BY PENALTIES FOR LAPSES AND NOT FOR
DISPLAY OF THE SPIRITUAL QUALITIES OF THE
JUDGES .... Such qualities it is proper to show in private
life, but not in a public square which is the educational basis
of human life.
14. Our legal staff will serve not beyond the age of 55,
firstly because old men more obstinately hold to prejudiced
opinions, and are less capable of submitting to new
directions, and secondly because this will give us the
possibility by this measure of securing elasticity in the
changing of staff, which will thus the more easily bend
under our pressure: he who wishes to keep his place will
have to give blind obedience to deserve it. In general, our
judges will be elected by us only from among those who
thoroughly understand that the part they have to play is to
punish and apply laws and not to dream about the
manifestations of liberalism at the expense of the
educational scheme of the State, as the GOYIM in these
days imagine it to be .... This method of shuffling the staff
will serve also to explode any collective solidarity of those
in the same service and will bind all to the interests of the
government upon which their fate will depend. The young
generation of judges will be trained in certain views
regarding the inadmissibility of any abuses that might
disturb the established order of our subjects among
themselves.
15. In these days the judges of the GOYIM create
indulgences to every kind of crimes, not having a just
understanding of their office, because the rulers of the
present age in appointing judges to office take no care to
inculcate in them a sense of duty and consciousness of the
matter which is demanded of them. As a brute beast lets out
its young in search of prey, so do the GOYIM give to them
for what purpose such place was created. This is the reason
why their governments are being ruined by their own forces
through the acts of their own administration.
16. Let us borrow from the example of the results of these
actions yet another lesson for our government.
17. We shall root out liberalism from all the important
strategic posts of our government on which depends the
training of subordinates for our State structure. Such posts
will fall exclusively to those who have been trained by us for
administrative rule. To the possible objection that the
retirement of old servants will cost the Treasury heavily, I
reply, firstly, they will be provided with some private service
in place of what they lose, and, secondly, I have to remark
that all the money in the world will be concentrated in our
hands, consequently it is not our government that has to fear
expense.
WE SHALL BE CRUEL
18. Our absolutism will in all things be logically consecutive
and therefore in each one of its decrees our supreme will
must be respected and unquestionably fulfilled: it will ignore
all murmurs, all discontents of every kind and will destroy to
the root every kind of manifestation of them in act by
punishment of an exemplary character.
19. We shall abolish the right of appeal, which will be
transferred exclusively to our disposal - to the cognizance of
him who rules, for we must not allow the conception among
the people of a thought that there could be such a thing as a
decision that is not right of judges set up by us. If, however,
anything like this should occur, we shall ourselves quash the
decision, but inflict therewith such exemplary punishment
on the judge for lack of understanding of his duty and the
purpose of his appointment as will prevent a repetition of
such cases .... I repeat that it must be born in mind that we
shall know every step of our administration which only
needs to be closely watched for the people to be content with
us, for it has the right to demand from a good government a
good official.
20. OUR GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE THE
APPEARANCE OF A PATRIARCHAL PATERNAL
GUARDIANSHIP ON THE PART OF OUR RULER. Our
own nation and our subjects will discern in his person a
father caring for their every need, their every act, their every
interrelation as subjects one with another, as well as their
relations to the ruler. They will then be so thoroughly
imbued with the thought that it is impossible for them to
dispense with this wardship and guidance, if they wish to
live in peace and quiet, THAT THEY WILL
ACKNOWLEDGE THE AUTOCRACY OF OUR RULER
WITH A DEVOTION BORDERING ON "APOTHEOSIS,"
especially when they are convinced that those whom we set
up do not put their own in place of authority, but only
blindly execute his dictates. They will be rejoiced that we
have regulated everything in their lives as is done by wise
parents who desire to train children in the cause of duty and
submission. For the peoples of the world in regard to the
secrets of our polity are ever through the ages only children
under age, precisely as are also their governments.
21. As you see, I found our despotism on right and duty: the
right to compel the execution of duty is the direct obligation
of a government which is a father for its subjects. It has the
right of the strong that it may use it for the benefit of
directing humanity towards that order which is defined by
nature, namely, submission. Everything in the world is in a
state of submission, if not to man, then to circumstances or
its own inner character, in all cases, to what is stronger. And
so shall we be this something stronger for the sake of good.
22. We are obliged without hesitation to sacrifice
individuals, who commit a breach of established order, for in
the exemplary punishment of evil lies a great educational
problem.
23. When the King of Israel sets upon his sacred head the
crown offered him by Europe he will become patriarch of
the world. The indispensable victims offered by him in
consequence of their suitability will never reach the number
of victims offered in the course of centuries by the mania of
magnificence, the emulation between the GOY
governments.
24. Our King will be in constant communion with the
peoples, making to them from the tribune speeches which
fame will in that same hour distribute over all the world.

PROTOCOL No. 16
1. In order to effect the destruction of all collective forces
except ours we shall emasculate the first stage of
collectivism - the UNIVERSITIES, by re-educating them in
a new direction. THEIR OFFICIALS AND PROFESSORS
WILL BE PREPARED FOR THEIR BUSINESS BY
DETAILED SECRET PROGRAMS OF ACTION FROM
WHICH THEY WILL NOT WITH IMMUNITY
DIVERGE, NOT BY ONE IOTA. THEY WILL BE
APPOINTED WITH ESPECIAL PRECAUTION, AND
WILL BE SO PLACED AS TO BE WHOLLY
DEPENDENT UPON THE GOVERNMENT.
2. We shall exclude from the course of instruction State Law
as also all that concerns the political question. These
subjects will be taught to a few dozen of persons chosen for
their pre-eminent capacities from among the number of the
initiated. THE UNIVERSITIES MUST NO LONGER
SEND OUT FROM THEIR HALLS MILK SOPS
CONCOCTING PLANS FOR A CONSTITUTION, LIKE A
COMEDY OR A TRAGEDY, BUSYING THEMSELVES
WITH QUESTIONS OF POLICY IN WHICH EVEN
THEIR OWN FATHERS NEVER HAD ANY POWER OF
THOUGHT.
3. The ill-guided acquaintance of a large number of persons
with questions of polity creates utopian dreamers and bad
subjects, as you can see for yourselves from the example of
the universal education in this direction of the GOYIM. We
must introduce into their education all those principles
which have so brilliantly broken up their order. But when we
are in power we shall remove every kind of disturbing
subject from the course of education and shall make out of
the youth obedient children of authority, loving him who
rules as the support and hope of peace and quiet.
WE SHALL CHANGE HISTORY
4. Classicism as also any form of study of ancient history, in
which there are more bad than good examples, we shall
replace with the study of the program of the future. We shall
erase from the memory of men all facts of previous centuries
which are undesirable to us, and leave only those which
depict all the errors of the government of the GOYIM. The
study of practical life, of the obligations of order, of the
relations of people one to another, of avoiding bad and
selfish examples, which spread the infection of evil, and
similar questions of an educative nature, will stand in the
forefront of the teaching program, which will be drawn up
on a separate plan for each calling or state of life, in no wise
generalizing the teaching. This treatment of the question has
special importance.
5. Each state of life must be trained within strict limits
corresponding to its destination and work in life. The
OCCASIONAL GENIUS HAS ALWAYS MANAGED
AND ALWAYS WILL MANAGE TO SLIP THROUGH
INTO OTHER STATES OF LIFE, BUT IT IS THE MOST
PERFECT FOLLY FOR THE SAKE OF THIS RARE
OCCASIONAL GENIUS TO LET THROUGH INTO
RANKS FOREIGN TO THEM THE UNTALENTED WHO
THUS ROB OF THEIR PLACES THOSE WHO BELONG
TO THOSE RANKS BY BIRTH OR EMPLOYMENT.
YOU KNOW YOURSELVES IN WHAT ALL THIS HAS
ENDED FOR THE "GOYIM" WHO ALLOWED THIS
CRYING ABSURDITY.
6. In order that he who rules may be seated firmly in the
hearts and minds of his subjects it is necessary for the time
of his activity to instruct the whole nation in the schools and
on the market places about this meaning and his acts and all
his beneficent initiatives.
7. We shall abolish every kind of freedom of instruction.
Learners of all ages have the right to assemble together with
their parents in the educational establishments as it were in a
club: during these assemblies, on holidays, teachers will read
what will pass as free lectures on questions of human
relations, of the laws of examples, of the philosophy of new
theories not yet declared to the world. These theories will be
raised by us to the stage of a dogma of faith as a traditional
stage towards our faith. On the completion of this exposition
of our program of action in the present and the future I will
read you the principles of these theories.
8. In a word, knowing by the experience of many centuries
that people live and are guided by ideas, that these ideas are
imbibed by people only by the aid of education provided
with equal success for all ages of growth, but of course by
varying methods, we shall swallow up and confiscate to our
own use the last scintilla of independence of thought, which
we have for long past been directing towards subjects and
ideas useful for us. The system of bridling thought is already
at work in the so-called system of teaching by OBJECT
LESSONS, the purpose of which is to turn the GOYIM into
unthinking submissive brutes waiting for things to be
presented before their eyes in order to form an idea of
them .... In France, one of our best agents, Bourgeois, has
already made public a new program of teaching by object
lessons.
PROTOCOL No. 17
1. The practice of advocacy produces men cold, cruel,
persistent, unprincipled, who in all cases take up an
impersonal, purely legal standpoint. They have the inveterate
habit to refer everything to its value for the defense and not
to the public welfare of its results. They do not usually
decline to undertake any defense whatever, they strive for an
acquittal at all costs, caviling over every petty crux of
jurisprudence and thereby they demoralize justice. For this
reason we shall set this profession into narrow frames which
will keep it inside this sphere of executive public service.
Advocates, equally with judges, will be deprived of the right
of communication with litigants; they will receive business
only from the court and will study it by notes of report and
documents, defending their clients after they have been
interrogated in court on facts that have appeared. They will
receive an honorarium without regard to the quality of the
defense. This will render them mere reporters on lawbusiness
in the interests of justice and as counterpoise to the
proctor who will be the reporter in the interests of
prosecution; this will shorten business before the courts. In
this way will be established a practice of honest
unprejudiced defense conducted not from personal interest
but by conviction. This will also, by the way, remove the
present practice of corrupt bargain between advocation to
agree only to let that side win which pays most .....
WE SHALL DESTROY THE CLERGY
2. WE HAVE LONG PAST TAKEN CARE TO
DISCREDIT THE PRIESTHOOD OF THE "GOYIM," and
thereby to ruin their mission on earth which in these days
might still be a great hindrance to us. Day by day its
influence on the peoples of the world is falling lower.
FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE HAS BEEN DECLARED
EVERYWHERE, SO THAT NOW ONLY YEARS DIVIDE
US FROM THE MOMENT OF THE COMPLETE
WRECKING OF THAT CHRISTIAN RELIGION: as to
other religions we shall have still less difficulty in dealing
with them, but it would be premature to speak of this now.
We shall set clericalism and clericals into such narrow
frames as to make their influence move in retrogressive
proportion to its former progress.
3. When the time comes finally to destroy the papal court the
finger of an invisible hand will point the nations towards this
court. When, however, the nations fling themselves upon it,
we shall come forward in the guise of its defenders as if to
save excessive bloodshed. By this diversion we shall
penetrate to its very bowels and be sure we shall never come
out again until we have gnawed through the entire strength
of this place.
4. THE KING OF THE JEWS WILL BE THE REAL POPE
OF THE UNIVERSE, THE PATRIARCH OF THE
INTERNATIONAL CHURCH
5. But, IN THE MEANTIME, while we are re-educating
youth in new traditional religions and afterwards in ours,
WE SHALL NOT OVERTLY LAY A FINGER ON
EXISTING CHURCHES, BUT WE SHALL FIGHT
AGAINST THEM BY CRITICISM CALCULATED TO
PRODUCE SCHISM . . .
6. In general, then, our contemporary press will continue to
CONVICT State affairs, religions, incapacities of the
GOYIM, always using the most unprincipled expressions in
order by every means to lower their prestige in the manner
which can only be practiced by the genius of our gifted
tribe . . . (Calling the Jim Jones massacre in Guyana a mass
suicide, not a C.I.A./MK-ULTRA/U.S. Government
massacre? Denying the massacre of the Branch Dravidian
sect at Waco, Texas, was a needless and deliberate
massacre by the B.A.T.F./F.B.I/C.I.A/U.S. Government).
7. Our kingdom will be an apologia of the divinity Vishnu,
in whom is found its personification - in our hundred hands
will be, one in each, the springs of the machinery of social
life. We shall see everything without the aid of official
police which, in that scope of its rights which we elaborated
for the use of the GOYIM, hinders governments from
seeing. In our programs ONE-THIRD OF OUR SUBJECTS
WILL KEEP THE REST UNDER OBSERVATION from a
sense of duty, on the principle of volunteer service to the
State. It will then be no disgrace to be a spy and informer,
but a merit: unfounded denunciations, however, will be
cruelly punished that there may be no development of abuses
of this right.
8. Our agents will be taken from the higher as well as the
lower ranks of society, from among the administrative class
who spend their time in amusements, editors, printers and
publishers, booksellers, clerks, and salesmen, workmen,
coachmen, lackeys, et cetera. This body, having no rights
and not being empowered to take any action on their own
account, and consequently a police without any power, will
only witness and report: verification of their reports and
arrests will depend upon a responsible group of controllers
of police affairs, while the actual act of arrest will be
performed by the gendarmerie and the municipal police. Any
person not denouncing anything seen or heard concerning
questions of polity will also be charged with and made
responsible for concealment, if it be proved that he is guilty
of this crime.
9. JUST AS NOWADAYS OUR BRETHREN, ARE
OBLIGED AT THEIR OWN RISK TO DENOUNCE TO
THE KAHAL APOSTATES OF THEIR OWN FAMILY or
members who have been noticed doing anything in
opposition to the KAHAL, SO IN OUR KINGDOM OVER
ALL THE WORLD IT WILL BE OBLIGATORY FOR
ALL OUR SUBJECTS TO OBSERVE THE DUTY OF
SERVICE TO THE STATE IN THIS DIRECTION.
10. Such an organization will extirpate abuses of authority,
of force, of bribery, everything in fact which we by our
counsels, by our theories of the superhuman rights of man,
have introduced into the customs of the GOYIM .... But how
else were we to procure that increase of causes predisposing
to disorders in the midst of their administration? .... Among
the number of those methods one of the most important is -
agents for the restoration of order, so placed as to have the
opportunity in their disintegrating activity of developing and
displaying their evil inclinations - obstinate self-conceit,
irresponsible exercise of authority, and, first and foremost,
venality. (Janet Reno? B.A.T.F.? C.I.A.?)

PROTOCOL No. 18
1. When it becomes necessary for us to strengthen the strict
measures of secret defense (the most fatal poison for the
prestige of authority) we shall arrange a simulation of
disorders or some manifestation of discontents finding
expression through the co-operation of good speakers.
Round these speakers will assemble all who are sympathetic
to his utterances. This will give us the pretext for domiciliary
prerequisitions and surveillance on the part of our servants
from among the number of the GOYIM police ...
(Australia's One Nation Party? A.D.L./B'nai B'rith activities
against the peace?)
2. As the majority of conspirators act out of love for the
game, for the sake of talking, so, until they commit some
overt act we shall not lay a finger on them but only introduce
into their midst observation elements .... It must be
remembered that the prestige of authority is lessened if it
frequently discovers conspiracies against itself: this implies
a presumption of consciousness of weakness, or, what is still
worse, of injustice. You are aware that we have broken the
prestige of the GOY kings by frequent attempts upon their
lives through our agents, blind sheep of our flock, who are
easily moved by a few liberal phrases to crimes provided
only they be painted in political colors. WE HAVE
COMPELLED THE RULERS TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THEIR WEAKNESS IN ADVERTISING OVERT
MEASURES OF SECRET DEFENSE AND THEREBY
WE SHALL BRING THE PROMISE OF AUTHORITY TO
DESTRUCTION.
3. Our ruler will be secretly protected only by the most
insignificant guard, because we shall not admit so much as a
thought that there could exist against him any sedition with
which he is not strong enough to contend and is compelled
to hide from it.
4. If we should admit this thought, as the GOYIM have done
and are doing, we should IPSO FACTO be signing a death
sentence, if not for our ruler, at any rate for his dynasty, at
no distant date.
GOVERNMENT BY FEAR
5. According to strictly enforced outward appearances our
ruler will employ his power only for the advantage of the
nation and in no wise for his own or dynastic profits.
Therefore, with the observance of this decorum, his
authority will be respected and guarded by the subjects
themselves, it will receive an apotheosis in the admission
that with it is bound up the well-being of every citizen of the
State, for upon it will depend all order in the common life of
the pack ....
6. OVERT DEFENSE OF THE KIND ARGUES
WEAKNESS IN THE ORGANIZATION OF HIS
STRENGTH.
7. Our ruler will always be among the people and be
surrounded by a mob of apparently curious men and women,
who will occupy the front ranks about him, to all appearance
by chance, and will restrain the ranks of the rest out of
respect as it will appear for good order. This will sow an
example of restraint also in others. If a petitioner appears
among the people trying to hand a petition and forcing his
way through the ranks, the first ranks must receive the
petition and before the eyes of the petitioner pass it to the
ruler, so that all may know that what is handed in reaches its
destination, that consequently, there exists a control of the
ruler himself. The aureole of power requires for his
existence that the people may be able to say: "If the king
knew of this," or: "the king will hear it."
8. WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF OFFICIAL
DEFENSE, THE MYSTICAL PRESTIGE OF
AUTHORITY DISAPPEARS: given a certain audacity, and
everyone counts himself master of it, the sedition-monger is
conscious of his strength, and when occasion serves watches
for the moment to make an attempt upon authority .... For
the GOYIM we have been preaching something else, but by
that very fact we are enabled to see what measures of overt
defense have brought them to ....
9. CRIMINALS WITH US WILL BE ARRESTED AT THE
FIRST, more or less, well-grounded SUSPICION: it cannot
be allowed that out of fear of a possible mistake an
opportunity should be given of escape to persons suspected
of a political lapse of crime, for in these matters we shall be
literally merciless. If it is still possible, by stretching a point,
to admit a reconsideration of the motive causes in simple
crimes, there is no possibility of excuse for persons
occupying themselves with questions in which nobody
except the government can understand anything .... And it is
not all governments that understand true policy.
Table of Contents/ . . .
PROTOCOL No. 19
1. If we do not permit any independent dabbling in the
political we shall on the other hand encourage every kind of
report or petition with proposals for the government to
examine into all kinds of projects for the amelioration of the
condition of the people; this will reveal to us the defects or
else the fantasies of our subjects, to which we shall respond
either by accomplishing them or by a wise rebuttment to
prove the shortsightedness of one who judges wrongly.
2. Sedition-mongering is nothing more than the yapping of a
lap-dog at an elephant. For a government well organized, not
from the police but from the public point of view, the lapdog
yaps at the elephant in entire unconsciousness of its
strength and importance. It needs no more than to take a
good example to show the relative importance of both and
the lap-dogs will cease to yap and will wag their tails the
moment they set eyes on an elephant.
3. In order to destroy the prestige of heroism for political
crime we shall send it for trial in the category of thieving,
murder, and every kind of abominable and filthy crime.
Public opinion will then confuse in its conception this
category of crime with the disgrace attaching to every other
and will brand it with the same contempt.
4. We have done our best, and I hope we have succeeded to
obtain that the GOYIM should not arrive at this means of
contending with sedition. It was for this reason that through
the Press and in speeches, indirectly - in cleverly compiled
school-books on history, we have advertised the martyrdom
alleged to have been accredited by sedition-mongers for the
idea of the commonweal. This advertisement has increased
the contingent of liberals and has brought thousands of
GOYIM into the ranks of our livestock cattle.
Table of Contents/ . . .
PROTOCOL No. 20
1. To-day we shall touch upon the financial program, which
I put off to the end of my report as being the most difficult,
the crowning and the decisive point of our plans. Before
entering upon it I will remind you that I have already spoken
before by way of a hint when I said that the sum total of our
actions is settled by the question of figures.
2. When we come into our kingdom our autocratic
government will avoid, from a principle of self-preservation,
sensibly burdening the masses of the people with taxes,
remembering that it plays the part of father and protector.
But as State organization cost dear it is necessary
nevertheless to obtain the funds required for it. It will,
therefore, elaborate with particular precaution the question
of equilibrium in this matter.
3. Our rule, in which the king will enjoy the legal fiction that
everything in his State belongs to him (which may easily be
translated into fact), will be enabled to resort to the lawful
confiscation of all sums of every kind for the regulation of
their circulation in the State. From this follows that taxation
will best be covered by a progressive tax on property. In this
manner the dues will be paid without straitening or ruining
anybody in the form of a percentage of the amount of
property. The rich must be aware that it is their duty to place
a part of their superfluities at the disposal of the State since
the State guarantees them security of possession of the rest
of their property and the right of honest gains, I say honest,
for the control over property will do away with robbery on a
legal basis.
4. This social reform must come from above, for the time is
ripe for it - it is indispensable as a pledge of peace.
WE SHALL DESTROY CAPITAL
5. The tax upon the poor man is a seed of revolution and
works to the detriment of the State which in hunting after the
trifling is missing the big. Quite apart from this, a tax on
capitalists diminishes the growth of wealth in private hands
in which we have in these days concentrated it as a
counterpoise to the government strength of the GOYIM -
their State finances.
6. A tax increasing in a percentage ratio to capital will give
much larger revenue than the present individual or property
tax, which is useful to us now for the sole reason that it
excites trouble and discontent among the GOYIM. (Now we
know the purpose of the 16th Amendment!!)
7. The force upon which our king will rest consists in the
equilibrium and the guarantee of peace, for the sake of
which things it is indispensable that the capitalists should
yield up a portion of their incomes for the sake of the secure
working of the machinery of the State. State needs must be
paid by those who will not feel the burden and have enough
to take from.
8. Such a measure will destroy the hatred of the poor man
for the rich, in whom he will see a necessary financial
support for the State, will see in him the organizer of peace
and well-being since he will see that it is the rich man who is
paying the necessary means to attain these things.
9. In order that payers of the educated classes should not too
much distress themselves over the new payments they will
have full accounts given them of the destination of those
payments, with the exception of such sums as will be
appropriated for the needs of the throne and the
administrative institutions.
10. He who reigns will not have any properties of his own
once all in the State represented his patrimony, or else the
one would be in contradiction to the other; the fact of
holding private means would destroy the right of property in
the common possessions of all.
11. Relatives of him who reigns, his heirs excepted, who will
be maintained by the resources of the State, must enter the
ranks of servants of the State or must work to obtain the
right to property; the privilege of royal blood must not serve
for the spoiling of the treasury.
12. Purchase, receipt of money or inheritance will be subject
to the payment of a stamp progressive tax. Any transfer of
property, whether money or other, without evidence of
payment of this tax which will be strictly registered by
names, will render the former holder liable to pay interest on
the tax from the moment of transfer of these sums up to the
discovery of his evasion of declaration of the transfer.
Transfer documents must be presented weekly at the local
treasury office with notifications of the name, surname and
permanent place of residence of the former and the new
holder of the property. This transfer with register of names
must begin from a definite sum which exceeds the ordinary
expenses of buying and selling necessaries, and these will be
subject to payment only by a stamp impost of a definite
percentage of the unit.
13. Just strike an estimate of how many times such taxes as
these will cover the revenue of the GOYIM States.
WE CAUSE DEPRESSIONS
14. The State exchequer will have to maintain a definite
complement of reserve sums, and all that is collected above
that complement must be returned into circulation. On these
sums will be organized public works. The initiative in works
of this kind, proceeding from State sources, will bind the
working class firmly to the interests of the State and to those
who reign. From these same sums also a part will be set
aside as rewards of inventiveness and productiveness.
15. On no account should so much as a single unit above the
definite and freely estimated sums be retained in the State
Treasuries, for money exists to be circulated and any kind of
stagnation of money acts ruinously on the running of the
State machinery, for which it is the lubricant; a stagnation of
the lubricant may stop the regular working of the
mechanism.
16. The substitution of interest-bearing paper for a part of
the token of exchange has produced exactly this stagnation.
The consequences of this circumstance are already
sufficiently noticeable.
17. A court of account will also be instituted by us, and in it
the ruler will find at any moment a full accounting for State
income and expenditure, with the exception of the current
monthly account, not yet made up, and that of the preceding
month, which will not yet have been delivered.
18. The one and only person who will have no interest in
robbing the State is its owner, the ruler. This is why his
personal control will remove the possibility of leakages or
extravagances.
19. The representative function of the ruler at receptions for
the sake of etiquette, which absorbs so much invaluable
time, will be abolished in order that the ruler may have time
for control and consideration. His power will not then be
split up into fractional parts among time-serving favorites
who surround the throne for its pomp and splendor, and are
interested only in their own and not in the common interests
of the State.
20. Economic crises have been produced by us for the
GOYIM by no other means than the withdrawal of money
from circulation. Huge capitals have stagnated, withdrawing
money from States, which were constantly obliged to apply
to those same stagnant capitals for loans. These loans
burdened the finances of the State with the payment of
interest and made them the bond slaves of these capitals ....
The concentration of industry in the hands of capitalists out
of the hands of small masters has drained away all the juices
of the peoples and with them also the States .... (Now we
know the purpose of the Federal Reserve Bank
Corporation!!)
21. The present issue of money in general does not
correspond with the requirements per head, and cannot
therefore satisfy all the needs of the workers. The issue of
money ought to correspond with the growth of population
and thereby children also must absolutely be reckoned as
consumers of currency from the day of their birth. The
revision of issue is a material question for the whole world.
22. YOU ARE AWARE THAT THE GOLD STANDARD
HAS BEEN THE RUIN OF THE STATES WHICH
ADOPTED IT, FOR IT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO
SATISFY THE DEMANDS FOR MONEY, THE MORE
SO THAT WE HAVE REMOVED GOLD FROM
CIRCULATION AS FAR AS POSSIBLE.
GENTILE STATES BANKRUPT
23. With us the standard that must be introduced is the cost
of working-man power, whether it be reckoned in paper or in
wood. We shall make the issue of money in accordance with
the normal requirements of each subject, adding to the
quantity with every birth and subtracting with every death.
24. The accounts will be managed by each department (the
French administrative division), each circle.
25. In order that there may be no delays in the paying out of
money for State needs the sums and terms of such payments
will be fixed by decree of the ruler; this will do away with
the protection by a ministry of one institution to the
detriment of others.
26. The budgets of income and expenditure will be carried
out side by side that they may not be obscured by distance
one to another.
27. The reforms projected by us in the financial institutions
and principles of the GOYIM will be clothed by us in such
forms as will alarm nobody. We shall point out the necessity
of reforms in consequence of the disorderly darkness into
which the GOYIM by their irregularities have plunged the
finances. The first irregularity, as we shall point out, consists
in their beginning with drawing up a single budget which
year after year grows owing to the following cause: this
budget is dragged out to half the year, then they demand a
budget to put things right, and this they expend in three
months, after which they ask for a supplementary budget,
and all this ends with a liquidation budget. But, as the budget
of the following year is drawn up in accordance with the
sum of the total addition, the annual departure from the
normal reaches as much as 50 per cent in a year, and so the
annual budget is trebled in ten years. Thanks to such
methods, allowed by the carelessness of the GOY States,
their treasuries are empty. The period of loans supervenes,
and that has swallowed up remainders and brought all the
GOY States to bankruptcy. (The United States was declared
"bankrupt" at the Geneva Convention of 1929! [see 31 USC
5112, 5118, and 5119).
28. You understand perfectly that economic arrangements of
this kind, which have been suggested to the GOYIM by us,
cannot be carried on by us.
29. Every kind of loan proves infirmity in the State and a
want of understanding of the rights of the State. Loans hang
like a sword of Damocles over the heads of rulers, who,
instead of taking from their subjects by a temporary tax,
come begging with outstretched palm to our bankers.
Foreign loans are leeches which there is no possibility of
removing from the body of the State until they fall off of
themselves or the State flings them off. But the GOY States
do not tear them off; they go on in persisting in putting more
on to themselves so that they must inevitably perish, drained
by voluntary blood-letting.
TYRANNY OF USURY
30. What also indeed is, in substance, a loan, especially a
foreign loan? A loan is - an issue of government bills of
exchange containing a percentage obligation commensurate
to the sum of the loan capital. If the loan bears a charge of 5
per cent, then in twenty years the State vainly pays away in
interest a sum equal to the loan borrowed, in forty years it is
paying a double sum, in sixty - treble, and all the while the
debt remains an unpaid debt.
31. From this calculation it is obvious that with any form of
taxation per head the State is baling out the last coppers of
the poor taxpayers in order to settle accounts with wealthy
foreigners, from whom it has borrowed money instead of
collecting these coppers for its own needs without the
additional interest.
32. So long as loans were internal the GOYIM only shuffled
their money from the pockets of the poor to those of the rich,
but when we bought up the necessary persons in order to
transfer loans into the external sphere, (Woodrow Wilson
and F.D. Roosevelt) all the wealth of States flowed into our
cash-boxes and all the GOYIM began to pay us the tribute of
subjects.
33. If the superficiality of GOY kings on their thrones in
regard to State affairs and the venality of ministers or the
want of understanding of financial matters on the part of
other ruling persons have made their countries debtors to our
treasuries to amounts quite impossible to pay it has not been
accomplished without, on our part, heavy expenditure of
trouble and money.
34. Stagnation of money will not be allowed by us and
therefore there will be no State interest-bearing paper, except
a one per-cent series, so that there will be no payment of
interest to leeches that suck all the strength out of the State.
The right to issue interest-bearing paper will be given
exclusively to industrial companies who find no difficulty in
paying interest out of profits, whereas the State does not
make interest on borrowed money like these companies, for
the State borrows to spend and not to use in operations.
(Now we know why President Kennedy was assassinated in
1963 when he refused to borrow any more of the "Bank
Notes" from the bankers of the Federal Reserve Bank and
began circulating non-interest bearing "Notes" of the
"United States of America"!!!).
35. Industrial papers will be bought also by the government
which from being as now a paper of tribute by loan
operations will be transformed into a lender of money at a
profit. This measure will stop the stagnation of money,
parasitic profits and idleness, all of which were useful for us
among the GOYIM so long as they were independent but are
not desirable under our rule.
36. How clear is the undeveloped power of thought of the
purely brute brains of the GOYIM, as expressed in the fact
that they have been borrowing from us with payment of
interest without ever thinking that all the same these very
moneys plus an addition for payment of interest must be got
by them from their own State pockets in order to settle up
with us. What could have been simpler than to take the
money they wanted from their own people?
37. But it is a proof of the genius of our chosen mind that we
have contrived to present the matter of loans to them in such
a light that they have even seen in them an advantage for
themselves.
38. Our accounts, which we shall present when the time
comes, in the light of centuries of experience gained by
experiments made by us on the GOY States, will be
distinguished by clearness and definiteness and will show at
a glance to all men the advantage of our innovations. They
will put an end to those abuses to which we owe our mastery
over the GOYIM, but which cannot be allowed in our
kingdom.
39. We shall so hedge about our system of accounting that
neither the ruler nor the most insignificant public servant
will be in a position to divert even the smallest sum from its
destination without detection or to direct it in another
direction except that which will be once fixed in a definite
plan of action. (Is this why a "private corporation," known
as the "Internal Revenue Service," is in charge of collecting
the "payments" of the "Income Taxes" and the IRS always
deposits those "payments" to the Federal Reserve bank and
never to the Treasury of the United States??)
40. And without a definite plan it is impossible to rule.
Marching along an undetermined road and with
undetermined resources brings to ruin by the way heroes and
demi-gods.
41. The GOY rulers, whom we once upon a time advised
should be distracted from State occupations by
representative receptions, observances of etiquette,
entertainments, were only screens for our rule. (Like the
House of Windsor (Guelph) and the rest of the "Black
Nobility"?) The accounts of favorite courtiers who replaced
them in the sphere of affairs were drawn up for them by our
agents, and every time gave satisfaction to short-sighted
minds by promises that in the future economies and
improvements were foreseen .... Economies from what?
From new taxes? - were questions that might have been but
were not asked by those who read our accounts and projects.
42. You know to what they have been brought by this
carelessness, to what pitch of financial disorder they have
arrived, notwithstanding the astonishing industry of their
peoples ....
PROTOCOL No. 21
1. To what I reported to you at the last meeting I shall now
add a detailed explanation of internal loans. Of foreign loans
I shall say nothing more, because they have fed us with the
national moneys of the GOYIM, but for our State there will
be no foreigners, that is, nothing external.
2. We have taken advantage of the venality of administrators
and slackness of rulers to get our moneys twice, thrice and
more times over, by lending to the GOY governments
moneys which were not at all needed by the States. Could
anyone do the like in regard to us? .... Therefore, I shall only
deal with the details of internal loans.
3. States announce that such a loan is to be concluded and
open subscriptions for their own bills of exchange, that is,
for their interest-bearing paper. That they may be within the
reach of all the price is determined at from a hundred to a
thousand; and a discount is made for the earliest subscribers.
Next day by artificial means the price of them goes up, the
alleged reason being that everyone is rushing to buy them. In
a few days the treasury safes are, as they say, overflowing
and there's more money than they can do with (why then
take it?) The subscription, it is alleged, covers many times
over the issue total of the loan; in this lies the whole stage
effect - look you, they say, what confidence is shown in the
government's bills of exchange.
4. But when the comedy is played out there emerges the fact
that a debit and an exceedingly burdensome debit has been
created. For the payment of interest it becomes necessary to
have recourse to new loans, which do not swallow up but
only add to the capital debt. And when this credit is
exhausted it becomes necessary by new taxes to cover, not
the loan, BUT ONLY THE INTEREST ON IT. These taxes
are a debit employed to cover a debit .... (Hence THE CRY
TO BALANCE THE BUDGET!)
5. Later comes the time for conversions, but they diminish
the payment of interest without covering the debt, and
besides they cannot be made without the consent of the
lenders; on announcing a conversion a proposal is made to
return the money to those who are not willing to convert
their paper. If everybody expressed his unwillingness and
demanded his money back, the government would be hoist
on their own petard and would be found insolvent and
unable to pay the proposed sums. By good luck the subjects
of the GOY governments, knowing nothing about financial
affairs, have always preferred losses on exchange and
diminution of interest to the risk of new investments of their
moneys, and have thereby many a time enabled these
governments to throw off their shoulders a debit of several
millions.
6. Nowadays, with external loans, these tricks cannot be
played by the GOYIM for they know that we shall demand
all our moneys back.
7. In this way in acknowledged bankruptcy will best prove to
the various countries the absence of any means between the
interests of the peoples and of those who rule them.
8. I beg you to concentrate your particular attention upon
this point and upon the following: nowadays all internal
loans are consolidated by so-called flying loans, that is, such
as have terms of payment more or less near. These debts
consist of moneys paid into the savings banks and reserve
funds. If left for long at the disposition of a government
these funds evaporate in the payment of interest on foreign
loans, and are placed by the deposit of equivalent amount of
RENTS.
9. And these last it is which patch up all the leaks in the
State treasuries of the GOYIM.
10. When we ascend the throne of the world all these
financial and similar shifts, as being not in accord with our
interests, will be swept away so as not to leave a trace, as
also will be destroyed all money markets, since we shall not
allow the prestige of our power to be shaken by fluctuations
of prices set upon our values, which we shall announce by
law at the price which represents their full worth without any
possibility of lowering or raising. (Raising gives the pretext
for lowering, which indeed was where we made a beginning
in relation to the values of the GOYIM).
11. We shall replace the money markets by grandiose
government credit institutions, the object of which will be to
fix the price of industrial values in accordance with
government views. These institutions will be in a position to
fling upon the market five hundred millions of industrial
paper in one day, or to buy up for the same amount. In this
way all industrial undertakings will come into dependence
upon us. You may imagine for yourselves what immense
power we shall thereby secure for ourselves ....

1 In all that has so far been reported by me to you, I have
endeavored to depict with care the secret of what is coming,
of what is past, and of what is going on now, rushing into the
flood of the great events coming already in the near future,
the secret of our relations to the GOYIM and of financial
operations. On this subject there remains still a little for me
to add.
2. IN OUR HANDS IS THE GREATEST POWER OF OUR
DAY - GOLD: IN TWO DAYS WE CAN PROCURE
FROM OUR STOREHOUSES ANY QUANTITY WE
MAY PLEASE.
3. Surely there is no need to seek further proof that our rule
is predestined by God? Surely we shall not fail with such
wealth to prove that all that evil which for so many centuries
we have had to commit has served at the end of ends the
cause of true well-being - the bringing of everything into
order? Though it be even by the exercise of some violence,
yet all the same it will be established. (The motto of the
Freemasons - "Out of Chaos, Order"). We shall contrive to
prove that we are benefactors who have restored to the rent
and mangled earth the true good and also freedom of the
person, and therewith we shall enable it to be enjoyed in
peace and quiet, with proper dignity of relations, on the
condition, of course, of strict observance of the laws
established by us. We shall make plain therewith that
freedom does not consist in dissipation and in the right of
unbridled license any more than the dignity and force of a
man do not consist in the right of everyone to promulgate
destructive principles in the nature of freedom of conscience,
equality and the like, that freedom of the person in no wise
consists in the right to agitate oneself and others by
abominable speeches before disorderly mobs, and that true
freedom consists in the inviolability of the person who
honorably and strictly observes all the laws of life in
common, that human dignity is wrapped up in consciousness
of the rights and also of the absence of rights of each, and
not wholly and solely in fantastic imaginings about the
subject of one's EGO.
4. One authority will be glorious because it will be allpowerful,
will rule and guide, and not muddle along after
leaders and orators shrieking themselves hoarse with
senseless words which they call great principles and which
are nothing else, to speak honestly, but utopian .... Our
authority will be the crown of order, and in that is included
the whole happiness of man. The aureole of this authority
will inspire a mystical bowing of the knee before it and a
reverent fear before it of all the peoples. True force makes
no terms with any right, not even with that of God: none
dare come near to it so as to take so much as a span from it
away.

1. That the peoples may become accustomed to obedience it
is necessary to inculcate lessons of humility and therefore to
reduce the production of articles of luxury. By this we shall
improve morals which have been debased by emulation in
the sphere of luxury. We shall re-establish small master
production which will mean laying a mine under the private
capital of manufactures. This is indispensable also for the
reason that manufacturers on the grand scale often move,
though not always consciously, the thoughts of the masses in
directions against the government. A people of small masters
knows nothing of unemployment and this binds him closely
with existing order, and consequently with the firmness of
authority. For us its part will have been played out the
moment authority is transferred into our hands. Drunkenness
also will be prohibited by law and punishable as a crime
against the humanness of man who is turned into a brute
under the influence of alcohol.
2. Subjects, I repeat once more, give blind obedience only to
the strong hand which is absolutely independent of them, for
in it they feel the sword of defense and support against social
scourges .... What do they want with an angelic spirit in a
king? What they have to see in him is the personification of
force and power.
3. The supreme lord who will replace all now existing rulers,
dragging in their existence among societies demoralized by
us, societies that have denied even the authority of God,
from whose midst breeds out on all sides the fire of anarchy,
must first of all proceed to quench this all-devouring flame.
Therefore he will be obliged to kill off those existing
societies, though he should drench them with his own blood,
that he may resurrect them again in the form of regularly
organized troops fighting consciously with every kind of
infection that may cover the body of the State with sores.
4. This Chosen One of God is chosen from above to
demolish the senseless forces moved by instinct and not
reason, by brutishness and not humanness. These forces now
triumph in manifestations of robbery and every kind of
violence under the mask of principles of freedom and rights.
They have overthrown all forms of social order to erect on
the ruins the throne of the King of the Jews; but their part
will be played out the moment he enters into his kingdom.
Then it will be necessary to sweep them away from his path,
on which must be left no knot, no splinter.
5. Then will it be possible for us to say to the peoples of the
world: "Give thanks to God and bow the knee before him
who bears on his front the seal of the predestination of man,
to which God himself has led his star that none other but
Him might free us from all the before-mentioned forces and
evils".

PROTOCOL No. 24
1. I pass now to the method of confirming the dynastic roots
of King David to the last strata of the earth.
2. This confirmation will first and foremost be included in
that which to this day has rested the force of conservatism by
our learned elders of the conduct of the affairs of the world,
in the directing of the education of thought of all humanity.
3. Certain members of the seed of David will prepare the
kings and their heirs, selecting not by right of heritage but by
eminent capacities, inducting them into the most secret
mysteries of the political, into schemes of government, but
providing always that none may come to knowledge of the
secrets. The object of this mode of action is that all may
know that government cannot be entrusted to those who
have not been inducted into the secret places of its art ....
4. To these persons only will be taught the practical
application of the aforenamed plans by comparison of the
experiences of many centuries, all the observations on the
politico-economic moves and social sciences - in a word, all
the spirit of laws which have been unshakably established by
nature herself for the regulation of the relations of humanity.
5. Direct heirs will often be set aside from ascending the
throne if in their time of training they exhibit frivolity,
softness and other qualities that are the ruin of authority,
which render them incapable of governing and in themselves
dangerous for kingly office.
6. Only those who are unconditionally capable for firm, even
if it be to cruelty, direct rule will receive the reins of rule
from our learned elders.
7. In case of falling sick with weakness of will or other form
of incapacity. kings must by law hand over the reins of rule
to new and capable hands.
8. The king's plan of action for the current moment, and all
the more so for the future, will be unknown, even to those
who are called his closest counselors.
KING OF THE JEWS
9. Only the king and the three who stood sponsor for him
will know what is coming.
10. In the person of the king who with unbending will is
master of himself and of humanity all will discern as it were
fate with its mysterious ways. None will know what the king
wishes to attain by his dispositions, and therefore none will
dare to stand across an unknown path.
11. It is understood that the brain reservoir of the king must
correspond in capacity to the plan of government it has to
contain. It is for this reason that he will ascend the throne not
otherwise than after examination of his mind by the
aforesaid learned elders.
12. That the people may know and love their king, it is
indispensable for him to converse in the market-places with
his people. This ensures the necessary clinching of the two
forces which are now divided one from another by us by the
terror.
13. This terror was indispensable for us till the time comes
for both these forces separately to fall under our influence.
14. The king of the Jews must not be at the mercy of his
passions, and especially of sensuality: on no side of his
character must he give brute instincts power over his mind.
Sensuality worse than all else disorganizes the capacities of
the mind and clearness of views, distracting the thoughts to
the worst and most brutal side of human activity.
15. The prop of humanity in the person of the supreme lord
of all the world of the holy seed of David must sacrifice to
his people all personal inclinations.
16. Our supreme lord must be of an exemplary
irreproachability. przion7.htm
