In 1905, professor Sergyei Nilus, an official of the
Dept. of Foreign
Religions at Moscow, published a book containing what was purported to
be THE PROTOCOLS OF THE MEETINGS
OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION. A copy of the original Nilus
publication sits
in the British Museum in London, bearing the date of its reception,
August 10, 1906. These
Protocols are said to give the substance of addresses delivered in
Switzerland in 1897 to the
innermost circle of the rulers of International Jewry. They are said to
reveal the secret plan for world
domination as concocted by the Jewish Nation for centuries, as
developed through the ages and edited
by their Elders up to that date.
The Jews, of course, have vehemently denied that such a
meeting of "Learned
Elders" ever took place, or that any kind of secret Jewish
international organisation or conspiracy
exists. And though they claim that the Protocols are forgeries (the
definition of forgery is
an unauthorised copy of the original! In this respect, and since the
Jews didn't want their existence
known to the world, they probably ARE forgeries!), and have spent a
fortune to suppress and discredit
them, even making it illegal to possess them in some countries, they
have never attempted to
address or answer the real question that the existence of such a
document raises: Have they fulfilled
the Protocols while claiming they did not write them? Yes.
Then, what is the difference whether they wrote them or
not?
Many scholars have noted the correspondence between the
prophecies of
the Protocols and their fulfillment. We can see the Protocols being
carried out word-by-word in
the world-power the Jews at the top have achieved. These are the
incredibly motivated schemers who were
involved in the worldwide conspiracy to create Israel. They controlled
the media to accomplish
that, and they still own all of it.
The Jews at the top, the ones who are conspirators
against all of mankind
today and always have gained power and maintain it through world
domination and control of all
means of communication (the media.) What these Jewish power brokers
have attained today is too
glaring to be set aside or deemed as merely coincidental. Most Jews of
course realise this even though
they are uninvolved. Yet they support the Protocols out of national
Jewish Pride, and therefore
always evade this aspect of the Protocols entirely.
When the Protocols were first published, they were the
typescript of
a drama which had not yet been performed. But today it has been running
for over eighty years, and its
title is "The Twentieth Century."
The ideas of power development depicted in it move on
our contemporary
stage, play the parts foretold and produce the events foreseen. So even
if you don't believe in
the authenticity of this remarkable document, one thing you can't deny
is their fulfillment. You
can toss the Protocols out the window if you want, but you can't deny
the fact that everything
they plotted, planned and predicted has either already happened, or is
happening now.
This is the greatest proof of their authenticity: That they are now
fulfilled.
The Protocols describe what the "Learned Elders of Zion" planned to do
almost 100 years
ago and have accomplished.
PROTOCOLS OF THE MEETINGS
OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION
1. ....Putting aside
fine
phrases we shall speak of the significance of each thought: by
comparisons and deductions we shall throw light upon surrounding
facts.
2. What I am about to set forth, then, is our system
from the two
points of view, that of ourselves and that of the GOYIM [i.e., non-Jews].
3. It must be noted that men with bad instincts are more
in number
than the good, and therefore the best results in governing them are
attained by violence and terrorisation, and not by academic
discussions. Every man aims at power, everyone would like to become
a dictator if only he could, and rare indeed are the men who would
not be willing to sacrifice the welfare of all for the sake of
securing their own welfare.
4. What has restrained the beasts of prey who are called
men?
What has served for their guidance hitherto?
5. In the beginnings of the structure of society, they
were
subjected to brutal and blind force; afterwards - to Law, which is
the same force, only disguised. I draw the conclusion that by the law
of nature, right lies in force.
6. Political freedom is an idea but not a fact. This
idea one must
know how to apply whenever it appears necessary with this bait of an
idea to attract the masses of the people to one's party for the
purpose of crushing another who is in authority. This task is
rendered easier if the opponent has himself been infected with the
idea of freedom, SO-CALLED
LIBERALISM, and, for
the sake of an idea, is willing to yield some of his power. It is
precisely here that the triumph of our theory appears; the slackened
reins of government are immediately, by the law of life, caught up
and gathered together by a new hand, because the blind might of the
nation cannot for one single day exist without guidance, and the new
authority merely fits into the place of the old already weakened by
liberalism.
GOLD
7. In our day the power which has replaced that of the
rulers who were liberal is the power of Gold. Time was when Faith
ruled. The idea of freedom is impossible of realization because
no one knows how to use it with moderation. It is enough to hand
over a people to self-government for a certain length of time for
that people to be turned into a disorganized mob. From that moment
on we get internecine strife which soon develops into battles
between classes, in the midst of which States burn down and their
importance is reduced to that of a heap of ashes.
8. Whether a State exhausts itself in its own
convulsions,
whether its internal discord brings it under the power of external
foes - in any case it can be accounted irretrievably lost: IT IS IN
OUR POWER. The despotism of Capital, which is entirely in our hands,
reaches out to it a straw that the State, willy-nilly, must take
hold of: if not - it goes to the bottom.
9. Should anyone of a liberal mind say that such
reflections as
the above are immoral, I would put the following questions: If every
State has two foes and if in regard to the external foe it is allowed
and not considered immoral to use every manner and art of conflict,
as for example to keep the enemy in ignorance of plans of attack and
defense, to attack him by night or in superior numbers, then in what
way can the same means in regard to a worse foe, the destroyer of
the structure of society and the commonweal, be called immoral and
not permissible?
10. Is it possible for any sound logical mind to hope
with any
success to guide crowds by the aid of reasonable counsels and
arguments, when any objection or contradiction, senseless though it
may be, can be made and when such objection may find more favor with
the people, whose powers of reasoning are superficial? Men in masses
and the men of the masses, being guided solely by petty passions,
paltry beliefs, traditions and sentimental theorems, fall a prey to
party dissension, which hinders any kind of agreement even on the
basis of a perfectly reasonable argument. Every resolution of a
crowd depends upon a chance or packed majority, which, in its
ignorance of political secrets, puts forth some ridiculous
resolution that lays in the administration a seed of anarchy.
11. The political has nothing in common with the moral.
The ruler
who is governed by the moral is not a skilled politician, and is
therefore unstable on his throne. He who wishes to rule must have
recourse both to cunning and to make-believe. Great national
qualities, like frankness and honesty, are vices in politics, for
they bring down rulers from their thrones more effectively and more
certainly than the most powerful enemy. Such qualities must be the
attributes of the kingdoms of the GOYIM,
but
we must in no wise be guided by them.
RIGHT IS MIGHT
12. Our right lies in force. The word "right"
is an abstract thought and proved by nothing. The word means no
more than: Give me what I want in order that thereby I may
have a
proof that I am stronger than you.
13. Where does right begin? Where does it end?
14. In any State in which there is a bad organization of
authority, an impersonality of laws and of the rulers who have
lost their personality amid the flood of rights ever multiplying
out of liberalism, I find a new right - to attack by the right of
the strong, and to scatter to the winds all existing forces of order
and regulation, to reconstruct all institutions and to become the
sovereign lord of those who have left to us the rights of their
power by laying them down voluntarily in their liberalism.
15. Our power in the present tottering condition of all
forms of
power will be more invincible than any other, because it will remain
invisible until the moment when it has gained such strength that no
cunning can any longer undermine it.
16. Out of the temporary evil we are now compelled to
commit will
emerge the good of an unshakable rule, which will restore the regular
course of the machinery of the national life, brought to naught by
liberalism. The result justifies the means. Let us, however, in our
plans, direct our attention not so much to what is good and moral as
to what is necessary and useful.
17. Before us is a plan in which is laid down
strategically the
line from which we cannot deviate without running the risk of seeing
the labor of many centuries brought to naught.
18. In order to elaborate satisfactory forms of action
it is
necessary to have regard to the rascality, the slackness, the
instability of the mob, its lack of capacity to understand and
respect the conditions of its own life, or its own welfare. It must
be understood that the might of a mob is blind, senseless and
un-reasoning force ever at the mercy of a suggestion from any side.
The blind cannot lead the blind without bringing them into the
abyss; consequently, members of the mob, upstarts from the people
even though they should be as a genius for wisdom, yet having no
understanding of the political, cannot come forward as leaders of
the mob without bringing the whole nation to ruin.
19. Only one trained from childhood for independent rule
can
have understanding of the words that can be made up of the political
alphabet.
20. A people left to itself, i.e., to upstarts from its
midst,
brings itself to ruin by party dissensions excited by the pursuit of
power and honors and the disorders arising therefrom. Is it possible
for the masses of the people calmly and without petty jealousies to
form judgment, to deal with the affairs of the country, which cannot
be mixed up with personal interest? Can they defend themselves from
an external foe? It is unthinkable; for a plan broken up into as
many parts as there are heads in the mob, loses all homogeneity, and
thereby becomes unintelligible and impossible of execution.
WE ARE DESPOTS
21. It is only with a despotic ruler that plans can be
elaborated extensively and clearly in such a way as to distribute
the whole properly among the several parts of the machinery of
the State: from this the conclusion is inevitable that a
satisfactory form of government for any country is one that
concentrates in the hands of one responsible person. Without an
absolute despotism there can be no existence for civilization
which is carried on not by the masses but by their guide, whosoever
that person may be. The mob is savage, and displays its savagery at
every opportunity. The moment the mob seizes freedom in its hands it
quickly turns to anarchy, which in itself is the highest degree of
savagery.
22. Behold the alcoholic animals, bemused with drink,
the right
to an immoderate use of which comes along with freedom. It is not
for us and ours to walk that road. The peoples of the GOYIM are
bemused with alcoholic liquors; their youth has grown stupid on
classicism and from early immorality, into which it has been
inducted by our special agents - by tutors, lackeys, governesses in
the houses of the wealthy, by clerks and others, by our women in the
places of dissipation frequented by the GOYIM.
In the number of these last I count also the so-called "society
ladies," voluntary followers of the others in corruption
and luxury.
23. Our countersign is - Force and Make-believe. Only
force
conquers in political affairs, especially if it be concealed in the
talents essential to statesmen. Violence must be the principle, and
cunning and make-believe the rule for governments which do not want
to lay down their crowns at the feet of agents of some new power.
This evil is the one and only means to attain the end, the good.
Therefore we must not stop at bribery, deceit and treachery when
they should serve towards the attainment of our end. In politics
one must know how to seize the property of others without hesitation
if by it we secure submission and sovereignty.
24. Our State, marching along the path of peaceful
conquest, has
the right to replace the horrors of war by less noticeable and more
satisfactory sentences of death, necessary to maintain the terror
which tends to produce blind submission. Just but merciless severity
is the greatest factor of strength in the State: not only for the
sake of gain but also in the name of duty, for the sake of victory,
we must keep to the programme of violence and make-believe. The
doctrine of squaring accounts is precisely as strong as the means of
which it makes use. Therefore it is not so much by the means
themselves as by the doctrine of severity that we shall triumph and
bring all governments into subjection to our super-government. It is
enough for them to know that we are too merciless for all
disobedience to cease.
WE SHALL END LIBERTY
25. Far back in ancient times we were the first to cry
among the masses of the people the words "Liberty, Equality,
Fraternity," words many times repeated since these days by
stupid poll-parrots who, from all sides around, flew down upon these
baits and with them carried away the well-being of the world, true
freedom of the individual, formerly so well guarded against the
pressure of the mob. The would-be wise men of the GOYIM, the
intellectuals, could not make anything out of the uttered words in
their abstractedness; did not see that in nature there is no
equality, cannot be freedom: that Nature herself has established
inequality of minds, of characters, and capacities, just as
immutably as she has established subordination to her laws: never
stopped to think that the mob is a blind thing, that upstarts
elected from among it to bear rule are, in regard to the political,
the same blind men as the mob itself, that the adept, though he be a
fool, can yet rule, whereas the non-adept, even if he were a genius,
understands nothing in the political - to all those things the
GOYIM paid no regard; yet all the time it was based upon these
things that dynastic rule rested: the father passed on to the son
a knowledge of the course of political affairs in such wise that
none should know it but members of the dynasty and none could betray
it to the governed. As time went on, the meaning of the dynastic
transference of the true position of affairs in the political was
lost, and this aided the success of our cause.
26. In all corners of the earth the words "Liberty,
Equality, Fraternity," brought to our ranks, thanks to our
blind agents, whole legions who bore our banners with enthusiasm.
And all the time these words were canker-worms at work boring into
the well-being of the GOYIM, putting an end everywhere to peace,
quiet, solidarity and destroying all the foundations of the GOY
States. As you will see later, this helped us to our triumph: it
gave us the possibility, among other things, of getting into our
hands the master card - the destruction of the privileges, or in
other words of the very existence of the aristocracy of the GOYIM,
that class which was the only defense peoples and countries had
against us. On the ruins of the natural and genealogical
aristocracy of the GOYIM we have set up the aristocracy of our
educated class headed by the aristocracy of money. The
qualifications for this aristocracy we have established in
wealth, which is dependent upon us, and in knowledge, for which
our learned elders provide the motive force.
27. Our triumph has been rendered easier by the fact
that in our
relations with the men, whom we wanted, we have always worked upon
the most sensitive chords of the human mind, upon the cash account,
upon the cupidity, upon the insatiability for material needs of man;
and each one of these human weaknesses, taken alone, is sufficient
to paralyze initiative, for it hands over the will of men to the
disposition of him who has bought their activities.
28. The abstraction of freedom has enabled us to
persuade the
mob in all countries that their government is nothing but the
steward of the people who are the owners of the country, and that
the steward may be replaced like a worn-out glove.
29. It is this possibility of replacing the
representatives of
the people which has placed at our disposal, and, as it were, given
us the power of appointment.
1. It is indispensable for our purpose that wars, so
far as possible, should not result in territorial gains: war will
thus be brought on to the economic ground, where the nations will
not fail to perceive in the assistance we give the strength of our
predominance, and this state of things will put both sides at the
mercy of our international AGENTUR; which possesses millions of
eyes ever on the watch and unhampered by any limitations whatsoever.
Our international rights will then wipe out national rights, in the
proper sense of right, and will rule the nations precisely as the
civil law of States rules the relations of their subjects among
themselves.
2. The administrators, whom we shall choose from among
the public,
with strict regard to their capacities for servile obedience, will
not be persons trained in the arts of government, and will therefore
easily become pawns in our game in the hands of men of learning and
genius who will be their advisers, specialists bred and reared from
early childhood to rule the affairs of the whole world. As is well
known to you, these specialists of ours have been drawing to fit
them for rule the information they need from our political plans
from the lessons of history, from observations made of the events
of every moment as it passes. The GOYIM are not guided by practical
use of unprejudiced historical observation, but by theoretical
routine without any critical regard for consequent results. We need
not, therefore, take any account of them - let them amuse themselves
until the hour strikes, or live on hopes of new forms of
enterprising pastime, or on the memories of all they have enjoyed.
For them let that play the principal part which we have persuaded
them to accept as the dictates of science (theory). It is with this
object in view that we are constantly, by means of our press,
arousing a blind confidence in these theories. The intellectuals of
the GOYIM will puff themselves up with their knowledges and without
any logical verification of them will put into effect all the
information available from science, which our AGENTUR specialists
have cunningly pieced together for the purpose of educating their
minds in the direction we want.
DESTRUCTIVE EDUCATION
3. Do not suppose for a moment that these statements are
empty
words: think carefully of the successes we arranged for Darwinism
(Evolution), Marxism (Communism), Nietzsche-ism (Socialism). To us
Jews, at any rate, it should be plain to see what a disintegrating
importance these directives have had upon the minds of the GOYIM.
4. It is indispensable for us to take account of the
thoughts,
characters, tendencies of the nations in order to avoid making slips
in the political and in the direction of administrative affairs. The
triumph of our system of which the component parts of the machinery
may be variously disposed according to the temperament of the
peoples met on our way, will fail of success if the practical
application of it be not based upon a summing up of the lessons of
the past in the light of the present.
5. In the hands of the States of to-day there is a great
force
that creates the movement of thought in the people, and that is the
Press. The part played by the Press is to keep pointing out
requirements supposed to be indispensable, to give voice to the
complaints of the people, to express and to create discontent. It is
in the Press that the triumph of freedom of speech finds its
incarnation. But the GOYIM States have not known how to make use of
this force; and it has fallen into our hands. Through the Press we
have gained the power to influence while remaining ourselves in the
shade; thanks to the Press we have got the GOLD in our hands,
notwithstanding that we have had to gather it out of the oceans of
blood and tears. But it has paid us, though we have sacrificed
many of our people. Each victim on our side is worth in the sight of
God a thousand GOYIM.
1. To-day I may tell you that our goal is now only a
few steps off. There remains a small space to cross and the whole
long path we have trodden is ready now to close its cycle of the
Symbolic Snake, by which we symbolize our people. When this ring
closes, all the States of Europe will be locked in its coil as in
a powerful vice.
2. The constitution scales of these days will shortly
break down,
for we have established them with a certain lack of accurate balance
in order that they may oscillate incessantly until they wear through
the pivot on which they turn. The GOYIM are under the impression
that they have welded them sufficiently strong and they have all
along kept on expecting that the scales would come into equilibrium.
But the pivots - the kings on their thrones - are hemmed in by
their representatives, who play the fool, distraught with their own
uncontrolled and irresponsible power. This power they owe to the
terror which has been breathed into the palaces. As they have no
means of getting at their people, into their very midst, the kings on
their thrones are no longer able to come to terms with them and so
strengthen themselves against seekers after power. We have made a gulf
between the far-seeing Sovereign Power and the blind force of the
people so that both have lost all meaning, for like the blind man
and his stick, both are powerless apart.
3. In order to incite seekers after power to a misuse of
power we
have set all forces in opposition one to another, breaking up their
liberal tendencies towards independence. To this end we have stirred
up every form of enterprise, we have armed all parties, we have set
up authority as a target for every ambition. Of States we have made
gladiatorial arenas where a lot of confused issues contend ... A
little more, and disorders and bankruptcy will be universal ...
4. Babblers, inexhaustible, have turned into oratorical
contests
the sittings of Parliament and Administrative Boards. Bold
journalists and unscrupulous pamphleteers daily fall upon executive
officials. Abuses of power will put the final touch in preparing all
institutions for their overthrow and everything will fly skyward
under the blows of the maddened mob.
POVERTY OUR WEAPON
5. All people are chained down to heavy toil by poverty
more firmly than ever. They were chained by slavery and serfdom; from
these, one way and another, they might free themselves. These could
be settled with, but from want they will never get away. We have
included in the constitution such rights as to the masses appear
fictitious and not actual rights. All these so-called "Peoples
Rights" can exist only in idea, an idea which can never be
realized in practical life. What is it to the proletariat laborer,
bowed double over his heavy toil, crushed by his lot in life, if
talkers get the right to babble, if journalists get the right to
scribble any nonsense side by side with good stuff, once the
proletariat has no other profit out of the constitution save only
those pitiful crumbs which we fling them from our table in return
for their voting in favor of what we dictate, in favor of the men we
place in power, the servants of our AGENTUR ... Republican rights for
a poor man are no more than a bitter piece of irony, for the
necessity he is under of toiling almost all day gives him no present
use of them, but the other hand robs him of all guarantee of regular
and certain earnings by making him dependent on strikes by his
comrades or lockouts by his masters.
WE SUPPORT COMMUNISM
6. The people, under our guidance, have annihilated the
aristocracy, who were their one and only defense and foster-mother
for the sake of their own advantage which is inseparably
bound up with the well-being of the people. Nowadays, with the
destruction of the aristocracy, the people have fallen into the
grips of merciless money-grinding scoundrels who have laid a
pitiless and cruel yoke upon the necks of the workers.
7. We appear on the scene as alleged saviours of the
worker from
this oppression when we propose to him to enter the ranks of our
fighting forces - Socialists, Anarchists, Communists - to whom we
always give support in accordance with an alleged brotherly rule (of
the solidarity of all humanity) of our SOCIAL MASONRY.
The aristocracy, which enjoyed by law
the labor of the workers, was interested in seeing that the workers
were well fed, healthy, and strong. We are interested in just the
opposite - in the diminution, the KILLING OUT OF THE GOYIM. Our
power is in the chronic shortness of food and physical weakness of
the worker because by all that this implies he is made the slave of
our will, and he will not find in his own authorities either strength
or energy to set against our will. Hunger creates the right of
capital to rule the worker more surely than it was given to the
aristocracy by the legal authority of kings.
8. By want and the envy and hatred which it engenders we
shall
move the mobs and with their hands we shall wipe out all those who
hinder us on our way.
9. WHEN THE HOUR STRIKES FOR OUR SOVEREIGN LORD OF ALL
THE WORLD
TO BE CROWNED IT IS THESE SAME HANDS WHICH WILL SWEEP AWAY
EVERYTHING THAT MIGHT BE A HINDRANCE THERETO. (The Biblical "Anti-Christ?")
10. The GOYIM have lost the habit of thinking unless
prompted by
the suggestions of our specialists. Therefore they do not see the
urgent necessity of what we, when our kingdom comes, shall adopt at
once, namely this, that IT IS ESSENTIAL TO TEACH IN NATIONAL SCHOOLS
ONE SIMPLE, TRUE PIECE OF KNOWLEDGE, THE BASIS OF ALL KNOWLEDGE -
THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE STRUCTURE OF HUMAN LIFE, OF SOCIAL EXISTENCE,
WHICH REQUIRES DIVISION OF LABOR, AND, CONSEQUENTLY, THE DIVISION OF
MEN INTO CLASSES AND CONDITIONS. It is essential for all to know
that OWING TO DIFFERENCE IN THE OBJECTS OF HUMAN ACTIVITY THERE
CANNOT BE ANY EQUALITY, that he, who by any act of his compromises a
whole class, cannot be equally responsible before the law with him
who affects no one but only his own honor. The true knowledge of the
structure of society, into the secrets of which we do not admit the
GOYIM, would demonstrate to all men that the positions and work must
be kept within a certain circle, that they may not become a source
of human suffering, arising from an education which does not
correspond with the work which individuals are called upon to do.
After a thorough study of this knowledge, the peoples will
voluntarily submit to authority and accept such position as is
appointed them in the State. In the present state of knowledge
and the direction we have given to its development of the people,
blindly believing things in print - cherishes - thanks to
promptings intended to mislead and to its own ignorance - a blind
hatred towards all conditions which it considers above itself, for
it has no understanding of the meaning of class and condition.
JEWS
WILL BE SAFE
11. THIS HATRED WILL BE STILL FURTHER MAGNIFIED BY THE
EFFECTS of an ECONOMIC CRISES, which will stop dealing on the
exchanges and bring industry to a standstill. We shall create by all
the secret subterranean methods open to us and with the aid of gold,
which is all in our hands, A UNIVERSAL ECONOMIC CRISES WHEREBY WE
SHALL THROW UPON THE STREETS WHOLE MOBS OF WORKERS SIMULTANEOUSLY IN
ALL THE COUNTRIES OF EUROPE. These mobs will rush delightedly to
shed the blood of those whom, in the simplicity of their ignorance,
they have envied from their cradles, and whose property they will
then be able to loot.
12. "OURS" THEY WILL NOT TOUCH, BECAUSE THE MOMENT OF
ATTACK WILL BE KNOWN TO US AND WE SHALL TAKE MEASURES TO PROTECT OUR
OWN.
13. We have demonstrated that progress will bring all
the GOYIM
to the sovereignty of reason. Our despotism will be precisely that;
for it will know how, by wise severities, to pacificate all unrest,
to cauterize liberalism out of all institutions.
14. When the populace has seen that all sorts of
concessions and indulgences are yielded it in the name of freedom it
has imagined itself to be sovereign lord and has stormed its way to
power, but, naturally like every other blind man, it has come upon a
host of stumbling blocks. IT HAS RUSHED TO FIND A GUIDE, IT HAS NEVER
HAD THE SENSE TO RETURN TO THE FORMER STATE and it has laid down its
plenipotentiary powers at OUR feet. Remember the French Revolution, to
which it was we [the Philadelphes (ie.e French branch of the
Illuminati)]who gave the name of "Great": the
secrets of its preparations are well known to us for it was wholly the
work of our hands.
15. Ever since that time we have been leading the
peoples from one
disenchantment to another, so that in the end they should turn also
from us in favor of that KING-DESPOT OF THE BLOOD OF ZION, WHOM WE
ARE PREPARING FOR THE WORLD.
16. At the present day we are, as an international
force,
invincible, because if attacked by some we are supported by other
States. It is the bottomless rascality of the GOYIM peoples, who
crawl on their bellies to force, but are merciless towards weakness,
unsparing to faults and indulgent to crimes, unwilling to bear the
contradictions of a free social system but patient unto martyrdom
under the violence of a bold despotism - it is those qualities
which are aiding us to independence. From the premier-dictators of
the present day, the GOYIM peoples suffer patiently and bear such
abuses as for the least of them they would have beheaded twenty
kings.
17. What is the explanation of this phenomenon, this
curious
inconsequence of the masses of the peoples in their attitude towards
what would appear to be events of the same order?
18. It is explained by the fact that these dictators
whisper to
the peoples through their agents that through these abuses they are
inflicting injury on the States with the highest purpose - to
secure the welfare of the peoples, the international brotherhood of
them all, their solidarity and equality of rights. Naturally they do
not tell the peoples that this unification must be accomplished only
under our sovereign rule.
19. And thus the people condemn the upright and acquit
the guilty,
persuaded ever more and more that it can do whatsoever it wishes.
Thanks to this state of things, the people are destroying every kind
of stability and creating disorders at every step.
20. The word "freedom" brings out
the communities
of men to fight against every kind of force, against every kind of
authority even against God and the laws of nature. For this reason
we, when we come into our kingdom, shall have to erase this word
from the lexicon of life as implying a principle of brute force
which turns mobs into bloodthirsty beasts.
21. These beasts, it is true, fall asleep again every
time when
they have drunk their fill of blood, and at such time can easily be
riveted into their chains. But if they be not given blood they will
not sleep and continue to struggle.
1. Every republic passes through several stages. The
first of these is comprised in the early days of mad raging by
the blind mob, tossed hither and thither, right and left: the
second is demagogy from which is born anarchy, and that leads
inevitably to despotism - not any longer legal and overt, and
therefore responsible despotism, but to unseen and secretly
hidden, yet nevertheless sensibly felt despotism in the hands of
some secret organization or other, whose acts are the more
unscrupulous inasmuch as it works behind a screen, behind the
backs of all sorts of agents, the changing of whom not only does
not injuriously affect but actually aids the secret force by
saving it, thanks to continual changes, from the necessity of
expanding its resources on the rewarding of long services.
2. Who and what is in a position to overthrow an
invisible force?
And this is precisely what our force is. GENTILE masonry blindly
serves as a screen for us and our objects, but the plan of action
of our force, even its very abiding-place, remains for the whole
people an unknown mystery.
WE SHALL DESTROY GOD
3. But even freedom might be harmless and have its place
in the State economy without injury to the well-being of the peoples
if it rested upon the foundation of faith in God, upon the
brotherhood of humanity, unconnected with the conception of equality,
which is negatived by the very laws of creation, for they have
established subordination. With such a faith as this a people might
be governed by a wardship of parishes, and would walk contentedly
and humbly under the guiding hand of its spiritual pastor submitting
to the dispositions of God upon earth. This is the reason why IT IS
INDISPENSABLE FOR US TO UNDERMINE ALL FAITH, TO TEAR OUT OF THE MIND
OF THE "GOYIM" THE VERY PRINCIPLE OF GOD-HEAD AND
THE SPIRIT, AND TO PUT IN ITS PLACE ARITHMETICAL CALCULATIONS AND
MATERIAL NEEDS.
4. In order to give the GOYIM no time to think and take
note,
their minds must be diverted towards industry and trade. Thus, all
the nations will be swallowed up in the pursuit of gain and in the
race for it will not take note of their common foe. But again, in
order that freedom may once for all disintegrate and ruin the
communities of the GOYIM, we must put industry on a speculative
basis: the result of this will be that what is withdrawn from the
land by industry will slip through the hands and pass into
speculation, that is, to our classes.
5. The intensified struggle for superiority and shocks
delivered
to economic life will create, nay, have already created,
disenchanted, cold and heartless communities. Such communities will
foster a strong aversion towards the higher political and towards
religion. Their only guide is gain, that is Gold, which they will
erect into a veritable cult, for the sake of those material delights
which it can give. Then will the hour strike when, not for the sake
of attaining the good, not even to win wealth, but solely out of
hatred towards the privileged, the lower classes of the GOYIM will
follow our lead against our rivals for power, the intellectuals of
the GOYIM.
1. What form of administrative rule can be given to
communities in which corruption has penetrated everywhere,
communities where riches are attained only by the clever surprise
tactics of semi-swindling tricks; where loseness reigns: where
morality is maintained by penal measures and harsh laws but not
by voluntarily accepted principles: where the feelings towards
faith and country are obligated by cosmopolitan convictions? What
form of rule is to be given to these communities if not that
despotism which I shall describe to you later? We shall create an
intensified centralization of government in order to grip in our
hands all the forces of the community. We shall regulate mechanically
all the actions of the political life of our subjects by new laws.
These laws will withdraw one by one all the indulgences and liberties
which have been permitted by the GOYIM, and our kingdom will be
distinguished by a despotism of such magnificent proportions as to
be at any moment and in every place in a position to wipe out any
GOYIM who oppose us by deed or word.
2. We shall be told that such a despotism as I speak of
is not
consistent with the progress of these days, but I will prove to you
that it is.
3. In the times when the peoples looked upon kings on
their
thrones as on a pure manifestation of the will of God, they submitted
without a murmur to the despotic power of kings: but from the day
when we insinuated into their minds the conception of their own
rights they began to regard the occupants of thrones as mere
ordinary mortals. The holy unction of the Lord's Anointed has fallen
from the heads of kings in the eyes of the people, and when we also
robbed them of their faith in God the might of power was flung upon
the streets into the place of public proprietorship and was seized
by us.
MASSES LED BY LIES
4. Moreover, the art of directing masses and individuals
by means of cleverly manipulated theory and verbiage, by regulations
of life in common and all sorts of other quirks, in all which the
GOYIM understand nothing, belongs likewise to the specialists of our
administrative brain. Reared on analysis, observation, on delicacies
of fine calculation, in this species of skill we have no rivals, any
more than we have either in the drawing up of plans of political
actions and solidarity. In this respect the Jesuits alone might have
compared with us, but we have contrived to discredit them in the
eyes of the unthinking mob as an overt organization, while we
ourselves all the while have kept our secret organization in the
shade. However, it is probably all the same to the world who is its
sovereign lord, whether the head of Catholicism or our despot of the
blood of Zion! But to us, the Chosen People, it is very far from
being a matter of indifference.
5. FOR A TIME PERHAPS WE MIGHT BE SUCCESSFULLY DEALT
WITH BY A
COALITION OF THE "GOYIM" OF ALL THE WORLD: but from this
danger we are secured by the discord existing among them whose roots
are so deeply seated that they can never now be plucked up. We have
set one against another the personal and national reckonings of the
GOYIM, religious and race hatreds, which we have fostered into a
huge growth in the course of the past twenty centuries. This is the
reason why there is not one State which would anywhere receive
support if it were to raise its arm, for every one of them must bear
in mind that any agreement against us would be unprofitable to
itself. We are too strong - there is no evading our power. THE
NATIONS CANNOT COME TO EVEN AN INCONSIDERABLE PRIVATE AGREEMENT
WITHOUT OUR SECRETLY HAVING A HAND IN IT.
6. PER ME REGES REGNANT. "It is through me
that Kings
reign." And it was said by the prophets that we were chosen
by God Himself to rule over the whole earth. God has endowed us with
genius that we may be equal to our task. Were genius in the opposite
camp it would still struggle against us, but even so, a newcomer is
no match for the old-established settler: the struggle would be
merciless between us, such a fight as the world has never seen. Aye,
and the genius on their side would have arrived too late. All the
wheels of the machinery of all States go by the force of the engine,
which is in our hands, and that engine of the machinery of States is
- Gold. The science of political economy invented by our learned
elders has for long past been giving royal prestige to capital.
MONOPOLY CAPITAL
7. Capital, if it is to co-operate untrammeled, must
be free to establish a monopoly of industry and trade: this is
already being put in execution by an unseen hand in all quarters
of the world. This freedom will give political force to those
engaged in industry, and that will help to oppress the people.
Nowadays it is more important to disarm the peoples than to lead
them into war: more important to use for our advantage the
passions which have burst into flames than to quench their fire:
more important to eradicate them. THE PRINCIPLE OBJECT OF OUR
DIRECTORATE CONSISTS IN THIS: TO DEBILITATE THE PUBLIC MIND BY
CRITICISM; TO LEAD IT AWAY FROM SERIOUS REFLECTIONS CALCULATED TO
AROUSE RESISTANCE; TO DISTRACT THE FORCES OF THE MIND TOWARDS A
SHAM FIGHT OF EMPTY ELOQUENCE.
8. In all ages the people of the world, equally with
individuals,
have accepted words for deeds, for THEY ARE CONTENT WITH A SHOW and
rarely pause to note, in the public arena, whether promises are
followed by performance. Therefore we shall establish show
institutions which will give eloquent proof of their benefit to
progress.
9. We shall assume to ourselves the liberal physiognomy
of all
parties, of all directions, and we shall give that physiognomy a
VOICE IN ORATORS WHO WILL SPEAK SO MUCH THAT THEY WILL EXHAUST THE
PATIENCE OF THEIR HEARERS AND PRODUCE AN ABHORRENCE OF ORATORY.
10. IN ORDER TO PUT PUBLIC OPINION INTO OUR HANDS WE
MUST BRING IT
INTO A STATE OF BEWILDERMENT BY GIVING EXPRESSION FROM ALL SIDES TO
SO MANY CONTRADICTORY OPINIONS AND FOR SUCH LENGTH OF TIME AS WILL
SUFFICE TO MAKE THE "GOYIM" LOSE THEIR HEADS IN THE
LABYRINTH AND COME TO SEE THAT THE BEST THING IS TO HAVE NO OPINION
OF ANY KIND IN MATTERS POLITICAL, which it is not given to the
public to understand, because they are understood only by him who
guides the public. This is the first secret.
11. The second secret requisite for the success of our
government
is comprised in the following: To multiply to such an extent
national failings, habits, passions, conditions of civil life, that
it will be impossible for anyone to know where he is in the resulting
chaos, so that the people in consequence will fail to understand one
another. This measure will also serve us in another way, namely, to
sow discord in all parties, to dislocate all collective forces which
are still unwilling to submit to us, and to discourage any kind of
personal initiative which might in any degree hinder our affair.
THERE IS NOTHING MORE DANGEROUS THAN PERSONAL INITIATIVE: if it has
genius behind it, such initiative can do more than can be done by
millions of people among whom we have sown discord. We must so direct
the education of the GOYIM communities that whenever they come upon a
matter requiring initiative they may drop their hands in despairing
impotence. The strain which results from freedom of actions saps the
forces when it meets with the freedom of another. From this
collision arise grave moral shocks, disenchantments, failures. BY
ALL THESE MEANS WE SHALL SO WEAR DOWN THE "GOYIM" THAT
THEY WILL BE COMPELLED TO OFFER US INTERNATIONAL POWER OF A NATURE
THAT BY ITS POSITION WILL ENABLE US WITHOUT ANY VIOLENCE GRADUALLY
TO ABSORB ALL THE STATE FORCES OF THE WORLD AND TO FORM A
SUPER-GOVERNMENT. In place of the rulers of to-day we shall set up
a bogey which will be called the Super-Government Administration.
Its hands will reach out in all directions like nippers and its
organization will be of such colossal dimensions that it cannot
fail to subdue all the nations of the world. (League of Nations and
subsequent United Nations Organization - Ed.).
1. We shall soon begin to establish huge monopolies,
reservoirs of colossal riches, upon which even large fortunes of
the GOYIM will depend to such an extent that they will go to the
bottom together with the credit of the States on the day after the
political smash ... (Compulsory superannuation, Social Security).
2. You gentlemen here present who are economists, just
strike an
estimate of the significance of this combination! ...
3. In every possible way we must develop the
significance of our
Super-Government by representing it as the Protector and Benefactor
of all those who voluntarily submit to us.
4. The aristocracy of the GOYIM as a political force, is
dead -
We need not take it into account; but as landed proprietors they can
still be harmful to us from the fact that they are self-sufficing in
the resources upon which they live. It is essential therefore for us
at whatever cost to deprive them of their land. This object will be
best attained by increasing the burdens upon landed property - in
loading lands with debts. These measures will check land-holding and
keep it in a state of humble and unconditional submission.
5. The aristocrats of the GOYIM, being hereditarily
incapable
of contenting themselves with little, will rapidly burn up and
fizzle out.
WE SHALL ENSLAVE GENTILES
6. At the same time we must intensively patronize trade
and industry, but, first and foremost, speculation, the part played
by which is to provide a counterpoise to industry: the absence of
speculative industry will multiply capital in private hands and will
serve to restore agriculture by freeing the land from indebtedness
to the land banks. What we want is that industry should drain off
from the land both labor and capital and by means of speculation
transfer into our hands all the money of the world, and thereby
throw all the GOYIM into the ranks of the proletariat. Then the
GOYIM will bow down before us, if for no other reason but to get the
right to exist.
7. To complete the ruin of the industry of the GOYIM we
shall
bring to the assistance of speculation the luxury which we have
developed among the GOYIM, that greedy demand for luxury which is
swallowing up everything. WE SHALL RAISE THE RATE OF WAGES WHICH,
HOWEVER, WILL NOT BRING ANY ADVANTAGE TO THE WORKERS, FOR, AT THE
SAME TIME, WE SHALL PRODUCE A RISE IN PRICES OF THE FIRST NECESSARIES
OF LIFE, ALLEGING THAT IT ARISES FROM THE DECLINE OF AGRICULTURE AND
CATTLE-BREEDING: WE SHALL FURTHER UNDERMINE ARTFULLY AND DEEPLY
SOURCES OF PRODUCTION, BY ACCUSTOMING THE WORKERS TO ANARCHY AND TO
DRUNKENNESS AND SIDE BY SIDE THEREWITH TAKING ALL MEASURE TO
EXTIRPATE FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH ALL THE EDUCATED FORCES OF
THE "GOYIM."
8. IN ORDER THAT THE TRUE MEANING OF THINGS MAY NOT
STRIKE THE "GOYIM" BEFORE THE PROPER TIME WE SHALL
MASK IT
UNDER AN ALLEGED ARDENT DESIRE TO SERVE THE WORKING CLASSES AND THE
GREAT PRINCIPLES OF POLITICAL ECONOMY ABOUT WHICH OUR ECONOMIC
THEORIES ARE CARRYING ON AN ENERGETIC PROPAGANDA.
1. The intensification of armaments, the increase of
police forces - are all essential for the completion of the
aforementioned plans. What we have to get at is that there should
be in all the States of the world, besides ourselves, only the
masses of the proletariat, a few millionaires devoted to our
interests, police and soldiers.
2. Throughout all Europe, and by means of relations with
Europe,
in other continents also, we must create ferments, discords and
hostility. Therein we gain a double advantage. In the first place
we keep in check all countries, for they will know that we have the
power whenever we like to create disorders or to restore order. All
these countries are accustomed to see in us an indispensable force
of coercion. In the second place, by our intrigues we shall tangle
up all the threads which we have stretched into the cabinets of all
States by means of the political, by economic treaties, or loan
obligations. In order to succeed in this we must use great cunning
and penetration during negotiations and agreements, but, as regards
what is called the "official language," we shall
keep to the opposite tactics and assume the mask of honesty and
complacency. In this way the peoples and governments of the GOYIM,
whom we have taught to look only at the outside whatever we present
to their notice, will still continue to accept us as the benefactors
and saviours of the human race.
UNIVERSAL WAR
3. We must be in a position to respond to every act of
opposition by war with the neighbors of that country which dares
to oppose us: but if these neighbors should also venture to stand
collectively together against us, then we must offer resistance
by a universal war.
4. The principal factor of success in the political is
the secrecy
of its undertakings: the word should not agree with the deeds of the
diplomat.
5. We must compel the governments of the GOYIM to take
action in
the direction favored by our widely conceived plan, already
approaching the desired consummation, by what we shall represent as
public opinion, secretly promoted by us through the means of that
so-called "Great Power" - THE PRESS, WHICH, WITH A
FEW EXCEPTIONS THAT MAY BE DISREGARDED, IS ALREADY ENTIRELY IN OUR
HANDS.
6. In a word, to sum up our system of keeping the
governments of the
goyim in Europe in check, we shall show our strength to one of them by
terrorist attempts and to all, if we allow the possibility of a general
rising against us, we shall respond with the guns of America or China
or Japan. (The Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905; Japan; Iraq and
Afghanistan -
Ed.).
1. We must arm ourselves with all the weapons which
our opponents might employ against us. We must search out in the
very finest shades of expression and the knotty points of the
lexicon of law justification for those cases where we shall have
to pronounce judgments that might appear abnormally audacious and
unjust, for it is important that these resolutions should be set
forth in expressions that shall seem to be the most exalted moral
principles cast into legal form. (Genocide Convention? U.N.
Declaration of the Rights of the Child?) Our directorate must
surround itself with all these forces of civilization among which it
will have to work. It will surround itself with publicists, practical
jurists, administrators, diplomats and, finally, with persons
prepared by a special super-educational training IN OUR SPECIAL
SCHOOLS (Rhodes Scholars? London School of Economics?)
These persons will have consonance of all the secrets of the
social structure, they will know all the languages that can be
made up by political alphabets and words; they will be made
acquainted with the whole underside of human nature, with all its
sensitive chords on which they will have to play. These chords are
the cast of mind of the GOYIM, their tendencies, short-comings,
vices and qualities, the particularities of classes and conditions.
Needless to say that the talented assistants of authority, of whom
I speak, will be taken not from among the GOYIM, who are accustomed
to perform their administrative work without giving themselves the
trouble to think what its aim is, and never consider what it is
needed for. The administrators of the GOYIM sign papers without
reading them, ( As Margaret Thatcher signed-away British
sovereignty by the Maastricht Treaty? As Australian Parliamentarians
signed over 2,000 U.N. Treaties . . . unread?) and they serve
either for mercenary reasons or from ambition.
2. We shall surround our government with a whole world
of
economists. That is the reason why economic sciences form the
principal subject of the teaching given to the Jews. Around us
again will be a whole constellation of bankers, industrialists,
capitalists and - THE MAIN THING - MILLIONAIRES, BECAUSE IN
SUBSTANCE EVERYTHING WILL BE SETTLED BY THE QUESTION OF FIGURES.
3. For a time, until there will no longer be any risk in
entrusting responsible posts in our State to our brother-Jews, we
shall put them in the hands of persons whose past and reputation are
such that between them and the people lies an abyss, persons who, in
case of disobedience to our instructions, must face criminal charges
or disappear - this in order to make them defend our interests to
their last gasp.
1. In applying our principles let attention be paid to
the character of the people in whose country you live and act; a
general, identical application of them, until such time as the
people shall have been re-educated to our pattern, cannot have
success. But by approaching their application cautiously you will
see that not a decade will pass before the most stubborn
character will change and we shall add a new people to the ranks
of those already subdued by us.
2. The words of the liberal, which are in effect the
words of our
masonic watchword, namely, "Liberty, Equality,
Fraternity," will, when we come into our kingdom, be
changed by us into words no longer of a watchword, but only an
expression of idealism, namely, into "The right of liberty,
the duty of equality, the ideal of brotherhood." That is
how we shall put it, - and so we shall catch the bull by the horns
... DE FACTO we have already wiped out every kind of rule except our
own, although DE JURE there still remain a good many of them.
Nowadays, if any States raise a protest against us it is only PRO
FORMA at our discretion and by our direction, for THEIR ANTI-SEMITISM
IS INDISPENSABLE TO US FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF OUR LESSER BRETHREN. I
will not enter into further explanations, for this matter has formed
the subject of repeated discussions amongst us.
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.
1. To-day I begin with a repetition of what I said
before,
and I BEG YOU TO BEAR IN MIND THAT GOVERNMENTS AND PEOPLE ARE CONTENT
IN THE POLITICAL WITH OUTSIDE APPEARANCES. And how, indeed, are the
GOYIM to perceive the underlying meaning of things when their
representatives give the best of their energies to enjoying
themselves? For our policy it is of the greatest importance to take
cognizance of this detail; it will be of assistance to us when we
come to consider the division of authority of property, of the
dwelling, of taxation (the idea of concealed taxes),
of the
reflex force of the laws. All these questions are such as ought not
to be touched upon directly and openly before the people. In cases
where it is indispensable to touch upon them they must not be
categorically named, it must merely be declared without detailed
exposition that the principles of contemporary law are acknowledged
by us. The reason of keeping silence in this respect is that by not
naming a principle we leave ourselves freedom of action, to drop
this or that out of it without attracting notice; if they were all
categorically named they would all appear to have been already given.
2. The mob cherishes a special affection and respect for
the
geniuses of political power and accepts all their deeds of violence
with the admiring response: "rascally, well, yes, it is
rascally, but it's clever! ... a trick, if you like, but how
craftily played, how magnificently done, what impudent
audacity!" ...
OUR GOAL - WORLD POWER
3. We count upon attracting all nations to the task of
erecting the new fundamental structure, the project for which has
been drawn up by us. This is why, before everything, it is
indispensable for us to arm ourselves and to store up in
ourselves that absolutely reckless audacity and irresistible
might of the spirit which in the person of our active workers
will break down all hindrances on our way.
4. WHEN WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED OUR COUP D'ETAT WE SHALL
SAY THEN TO
THE VARIOUS PEOPLES: "EVERYTHING HAS GONE
TERRIBLY BADLY, ALL HAVE BEEN WORN OUT WITH SUFFERING. WE ARE
DESTROYING THE CAUSES OF YOUR TORMENT - NATIONALITIES, FRONTIERS,
DIFFERENCES OF COINAGES. YOU ARE AT LIBERTY, OF COURSE, TO PRONOUNCE
SENTENCE UPON US, BUT CAN IT POSSIBLY BE A JUST ONE IF IT IS
CONFIRMED BY YOU BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY TRIAL OF WHAT WE ARE OFFERING
YOU." ... THEN WILL THE MOB EXALT US AND BEAR US UP IN
THEIR HANDS IN A UNANIMOUS TRIUMPH OF HOPES AND EXPECTATIONS.
VOTING, WHICH WE HAVE MADE THE INSTRUMENT WHICH WILL SET US ON THE
THRONE OF THE WORLD BY TEACHING EVEN THE VERY SMALLEST UNITS OF
MEMBERS OF THE HUMAN RACE TO VOTE BY MEANS OF MEETINGS AND
AGREEMENTS BY GROUPS, WILL THEN HAVE SERVED ITS PURPOSES AND WILL
PLAY ITS PART THEN FOR THE LAST TIME BY A UNANIMITY OF DESIRE TO
MAKE CLOSE ACQUAINTANCE WITH US BEFORE CONDEMNING US.
5. TO SECURE THIS WE MUST HAVE EVERYBODY VOTE WITHOUT
DISTINCTION OF CLASSES AND QUALIFICATIONS, in order to establish
an absolute majority, which cannot be got from the educated
propertied classes. In this way, by inculcating in all a sense of
self-importance, we shall destroy among the GOYIM the importance
of the family and its educational value and remove the possibility
of individual minds splitting off, for the mob, handled by us, will
not let them come to the front nor even give them a hearing; it is
accustomed to listen to us only who pay it for obedience and
attention. In this way we shall create a blind, mighty force which
will never be in a position to move in any direction without the
guidance of our agents set at its head by us as leaders of the mob.
The people will submit to this regime because it will know that upon
these leaders will depend its earnings, gratifications and the
receipt of all kinds of benefits.
6. A scheme of government should come ready made from
one brain,
because it will never be clinched firmly if it is allowed to be
split into fractional parts in the minds of many. It is allowable,
therefore, for us to have cognizance of the scheme of action but not
to discuss it lest we disturb its artfulness, the interdependence of
its component parts, the practical force of the secret meaning of
each clause. To discuss and make alterations in a labor of this kind
by means of numerous votings is to impress upon it the stamp of all
ratiocinations and misunderstandings which have failed to penetrate
the depth and nexus of its plottings. We want our schemes to be
forcible and suitably concocted. Therefore WE OUGHT NOT TO FLING THE
WORK OF GENIUS OF OUR GUIDE to the fangs of the mob or even of a
select company.
7. These schemes will not turn existing institutions
upside down
just yet. They will only effect changes in their economy and
consequently in the whole combined movement of their progress, which
will thus be directed along the paths laid down in our schemes.
POISON OF LIBERALISM
8. Under various names there exists in all countries
approximately one and the same thing. Representation, Ministry,
Senate, State Council, Legislative and Executive Corps. I need not
explain to you the mechanism of the relation of these institutions
to one another, because you are aware of all that; only take note
of the fact that each of the above-named institutions corresponds
to some important function of the State, and I would beg you to
remark that the word "important" I apply not to
the institution but to the function, consequently it is not the
institutions which are important but their functions. These
institutions have divided up among themselves all the functions of
government - administrative, legislative, executive, wherefore
they have come to operate as do the organs in the human body. If
we injure one part in the machinery of State, the State falls sick,
like a human body, and ... will die.
9. When we introduced into the State organism the poison
of
Liberalism its whole political complexion underwent a change. States
have been seized with a mortal illness - blood poisoning. All that
remains is to await the end of their death agony.
10. Liberalism produced Constitutional States, which
took the
place of what was the only safeguard of the GOYIM, namely,
Despotism; and A CONSTITUTION, AS YOU WELL KNOW, IS NOTHING ELSE BUT
A SCHOOL OF DISCORDS, misunderstandings, quarrels, disagreements,
fruitless party agitations, party whims - in a word, a school of
everything that serves to destroy the personality of State activity.
THE TRIBUNE OF THE "TALKERIES" HAS, NO LESS EFFECTIVELY
THAN THE PRESS, CONDEMNED THE RULERS TO INACTIVITY AND IMPOTENCE,
and thereby rendered them useless and superfluous, for which reason
indeed they have been in many countries deposed. THEN IT WAS THAT THE
ERA OF REPUBLICS BECOME POSSIBLE OF REALIZATION; AND THEN IT WAS
THAT WE REPLACED THE RULER BY A CARICATURE OF A GOVERNMENT - BY A
PRESIDENT, TAKEN FROM THE MOB, FROM THE MIDST OF OUR PUPPET
CREATURES, OR SLAVES. This was the foundation of the mine which
we have laid under the GOY people, I should rather say, under the
GOY peoples.
WE NAME PRESIDENTS
11. In the near future we shall establish the
responsibility of presidents.
12. By that time we shall be in a position to disregard
forms in
carrying through matters for which our impersonal puppet will be
responsible. What do we care if the ranks of those striving for
power should be thinned, if there should arise a deadlock from the
impossibility of finding presidents, a deadlock which will finally
disorganize the country? ...
13. In order that our scheme may produce this result we
shall
arrange elections in favor of such presidents as have in their past
some dark, undiscovered stain, some "Panama" or other - then they
will be trustworthy agents for the accomplishment of our plans out
of fear of revelations and from the natural desire of everyone who
has attained power, namely, the retention of the privileges,
advantages and honor connected with the office of president. The
chamber of deputies will provide cover for, will protect, will
elect presidents, but we shall take from it the right to propose
new, or make changes in existing laws, for this right will be given
by us to the responsible president, a puppet in our hands. Naturally,
the authority of the presidents will then become a target for every
possible form of attack, but we shall provide him with a means of
self-defense in the right of an appeal to the people, for the
decision of the people over the heads of their representatives,
that is to say, an appeal to that same blind slave of ours - the
majority of the mob. Independently of this we shall invest the
president with the right of declaring a state of war. We shall
justify this last right on the ground that the president as chief
of the whole army of the country must have it at his disposal, in
case of need for the defense of the new republican constitution,
the right to defend which will belong to him as the responsible
representative of this constitution. (Iran? Grenada? Kuwait?
Iraq? Panama? Somalia? Bosnia? Kosovo? Indonesia?)
14. It is easy to understand that in these conditions
the key of
the shrine will lie in our hands, and no one outside ourselves will
any longer direct the force of legislation.
15. Besides this we shall, with the introduction of the
new
republican constitution, take from the Chamber the right of
interpolation on government measures, on the pretext of preserving
political secrecy, and, further, we shall by the new constitution
reduce the number of representatives to a minimum, thereby
proportionately reducing political passions and the passion for
politics. If, however, they should, which is hardly to be expected,
burst into flame, even in this minimum, we shall nullify them by a
stirring appeal and a reference to the majority of the whole people
... Upon the president will depend the appointment of presidents and
vice-presidents of the Chamber and the Senate. Instead of constant
sessions of Parliaments we shall reduce their sittings to a few
months. Moreover, the president, as chief of the executive power,
will have the right to summon and dissolve Parliament, and, in the
latter case, to prolong the time for the appointment of a new
parliamentary assembly. But in order that the consequences of all
these acts which in substance are illegal, should not, prematurely
for our plans, fall upon the responsibility established by us of the
president, WE SHALL INSTIGATE MINISTERS AND OTHER OFFICIALS OF THE
HIGHER ADMINISTRATION ABOUT THE PRESIDENT TO EVADE HIS DISPOSITIONS BY
TAKING MEASURES OF THEIR OWN, for doing which they will be made the
scapegoats in his place ... This part we especially recommend to be
given to be played by the Senate, the Council of State, or the
Council of Ministers, but not to an individual official.
16. The president will, at our discretion, interpret the
sense of
such of the existing laws as admit of various interpretation; he
will further annul them when we indicate to him the necessity to do
so, besides this, he will have the right to propose temporary laws,
and even new departures in the government constitutional working,
the pretext both for the one and the other being the requirements
for the supreme welfare of the State. (Presidential Decrees
such
as F.D.R. employed to debase the US dollar and steal the gold and
to place the U.S. under a permanent State of Emergency and War
against its own citizens?)
WE SHALL DESTROY
17. By such measure we shall obtain the power of
destroying little by little, step by step, all that at the outset
when we enter on our rights, we are compelled to introduce into
the constitutions of States to prepare for the transition to an
imperceptible abolition of every kind of constitution, and then
the time is come to turn every form of government into OUR
DESPOTISM.
18. The recognition of our despot may also come before
the
destruction of the constitution; the moment for this recognition
will come when the peoples, utterly wearied by the irregularities
and incompetence - a matter which we shall arrange for - of their
rulers, will clamor: "Away with them and give us one king
over all the earth who will unite us and annihilate the causes of
disorders - frontiers, nationalities, religions, State debts - who
will give us peace and quiet which we cannot find under our rulers
and representatives."
19. But you
yourselves perfectly well know that TO
PRODUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE EXPRESSION OF SUCH WISHES BY ALL THE
NATIONS IT IS INDISPENSABLE TO TROUBLE IN ALL COUNTRIES THE PEOPLE'S
RELATIONS WITH THEIR GOVERNMENTS SO AS TO UTTERLY EXHAUST HUMANITY WITH
DISSENSION, HATRED, STRUGGLE, ENVY AND EVEN BY THE USE OF TORTURE, BY
STARVATION, BY THE INOCULATION OF DISEASES, BY WANT, SO THAT THE
"GOYIM" SEE NO OTHER ISSUE THAN TO TAKE REFUGE IN OUR COMPLETE
SOVEREIGNTY IN MONEY AND IN ALL ELSE.
20. But if we give the nations of the world a breathing
space the
moment we long for is hardly likely ever to arrive.
1. The State Council has been, as it were, the emphatic
expression of the authority of the ruler: it will be, as the "show"
part of the Legislative Corps, what may be
called the editorial committee of the laws and decrees of the ruler.
2. This, then, is the program of the new constitution.
We shall
make Law, Right and Justice (1) in the guise of proposals to the
Legislative Corps, (2) by decrees of the president under the guise
of general regulations, of orders of the Senate and of resolutions
of the State Council in the guise of ministerial orders, (3) and in
case a suitable occasion should arise - in the form of a revolution
in the State.
3. Having established approximately the MODUS AGENDI we
will
occupy ourselves with details of those combinations by which we have
still to complete the revolution in the course of the machinery of
State in the direction already indicated. By these combinations I
mean the freedom of the Press, the right of association, freedom of
conscience, the voting principle, and many another that must
disappear for ever from the memory of man, or undergo a radical
alteration the day after the promulgation of the new constitution.
It is only at the moment that we shall be able at once to announce
all our orders, for, afterwards, every noticeable alteration will be
dangerous, for the following reasons: if this alteration be brought
in with harsh severity and in a sense of severity and limitations,
it may lead to a feeling of despair caused by fear of new alterations
in the same direction; if, on the other hand, it be brought in a
sense of further indulgences it will be said that we have recognized
our own wrong-doing and this will destroy the prestige of the
infallibility of our authority, or else it will be said that we
have become alarmed and are compelled to show a yielding
disposition, for which we shall get no thanks because it will be
supposed to be compulsory ... Both the one and the other are
injurious to the prestige of the new constitution. What we want
is that from the first moment of its promulgation, while the
peoples of the world are still stunned by the accomplished fact
of the revolution, still in a condition of terror and uncertainty,
they should recognize once for all that we are so strong, so
inexpugnable, so super-abundantly filled with power, that in no
case shall we take any account of them, and so far from paying any
attention to their opinions or wishes, we are ready and able to
crush with irresistible power all expression or manifestation
thereof at every moment and in every place, that we have seized at
once everything we wanted and shall in no case divide our power
with them ... Then in fear and trembling they will close their
eyes to everything, and be content to await what will be the end of
it all.
WE ARE WOLVES
4. The GOYIM are a flock of sheep, and we are their
wolves. And you know what happens when the wolves get hold of the
flock? ....
5. There is another reason also why they will close
their eyes:
for we shall keep promising them to give back all the liberties we
have taken away as soon as we have quelled the enemies of peace and
tamed all parties ....
6. It is not worth to say anything about how long a time
they will
be kept waiting for this return of their liberties ....
7. For what purpose then have we invented this whole
policy and
insinuated it into the minds of the GOY without giving them any chance
to examine its underlying meaning? For what, indeed, if not in order
to obtain in a roundabout way what is for our scattered tribe
unattainable by the direct road? It is this which has served as the
basis for our organization of SECRET MASONRY WHICH IS NOT KNOWN TO,
AND AIMS WHICH ARE NOT EVEN SO MUCH AS SUSPECTED BY, THESE "GOY"
CATTLE, ATTRACTED BY US INTO THE "SHOW"
ARMY OF MASONIC LODGES IN ORDER TO THROW DUST IN THE EYES OF
THEIR FELLOWS.
8. God has granted to us, His Chosen People, the gift of
the
dispersion, and in this which appears in all eyes to be our weakness,
has come forth all our strength, which has now brought us to the
threshold of sovereignty over all the world.
9. There now remains not much more for us to build up
upon the
foundation we have laid.
1. The word "freedom," which can be
interpreted in various ways, is defined by us as follows -
2. Freedom is the right to do what which the law allows.
This
interpretation of the word will at the proper time be of service to
us, because all freedom will thus be in our hands, since the laws
will abolish or create only that which is desirable for us according
to the aforesaid program.
3. We shall deal with the press in the following way:
what is the
part played by the press to-day? It serves to excite and inflame
those passions which are needed for our purpose or else it serves
selfish ends of parties. It is often vapid, unjust, mendacious, and
the majority of the public have not the slightest idea what ends
the press really serves. We shall saddle and bridle it with a tight
curb: we shall do the same also with all productions of the printing
press, for where would be the sense of getting rid of the attacks of
the press if we remain targets for pamphlets and books? The produce
of publicity, which nowadays is a source of heavy expense owing to
the necessity of censoring it, will be turned by us into a very
lucrative source of income to our State: we shall lay on it a
special stamp tax and require deposits of caution-money before
permitting the establishment of any organ of the press or of
printing offices; these will then have to guarantee our government
against any kind of attack on the part of the press. For any attempt
to attack us, if such still be possible, we shall inflict fines
without mercy. Such measures as stamp tax, deposit of caution-money
and fines secured by these deposits, will bring in a huge income to
the government. It is true that party organs might not spare money
for the sake of publicity, but these we shall shut up at the second
attack upon us. No one shall with impunity lay a finger on the
aureole of our government infallibility. The pretext for stopping
any publication will be the alleged plea that it is agitating the
public mind without occasion or justification. I BEG YOU TO NOTE
THAT AMONG THOSE MAKING ATTACKS UPON US WILL ALSO BE ORGANS
ESTABLISHED BY US, BUT THEY WILL ATTACK EXCLUSIVELY POINTS THAT
WE HAVE PRE-DETERMINED TO ALTER.
WE CONTROL THE PRESS
4. NOT A SINGLE ANNOUNCEMENT WILL REACH THE PUBLIC
WITHOUT OUR CONTROL. Even now this is already being attained by
us inasmuch as all news items are received by a few agencies, in
whose offices they are focused from all parts of the world. These
agencies will then be already entirely ours and will give
publicity only to what we dictate to them.
5. If already now we have contrived to possess ourselves
of the
minds of the GOY communities to such an extent the they all come
near looking upon the events of the world through the colored
glasses of those spectacles we are setting astride their noses; if
already now there is not a single State where there exist for us
any barriers to admittance into what GOY stupidity calls State
secrets: what will our positions be then, when we shall be
acknowledged supreme lords of the world in the person of our king of
all the world ....
6. Let us turn again to the FUTURE OF THE PRINTING
PRESS. Every
one desirous of being a publisher, librarian, or printer, will be
obliged to provide himself with the diploma instituted therefore,
which, in case of any fault, will be immediately impounded. With
such measures THE INSTRUMENT OF THOUGHT WILL BECOME AN EDUCATIVE
MEANS ON THE HANDS OF OUR GOVERNMENT, WHICH WILL NO LONGER ALLOW
THE MASS OF THE NATION TO BE LED ASTRAY IN BY-WAYS AND FANTASIES
ABOUT THE BLESSINGS OF PROGRESS. Is there any one of us who does
not know that these phantom blessings are the direct roads to
foolish imaginings which give birth to anarchical relations of
men among themselves and towards authority, because progress, or
rather the idea of progress, has introduced the conception of every
kind of emancipation, but has failed to establish its limits ....
All the so-called liberals are anarchists, if not in fact, at any
rate in thought. Every one of them in hunting after phantoms of
freedom, and falling exclusively into license, that is, into the
anarchy of protest for the sake of protest....
FREE PRESS DESTROYED
7. We turn to the periodical press. We shall impose on
it,
as on all printed matter, stamp taxes per sheet and deposits of
caution-money, and books of less than 30 sheets will pay double. We
shall reckon them as pamphlets in order, on the one hand, to reduce
the number of magazines, which are the worst form of printed poison,
and, on the other, in order that this measure may force writers
into such lengthy productions that they will be little read,
especially as they will be costly. At the same time what we shall
publish ourselves to influence mental development in the direction
laid down for our profit will be cheap and will be read voraciously.
The tax will bring vapid literary ambitions within bounds and the
liability to penalties will make literary men dependent upon us. And
if there should be any found who are desirous of writing against us,
they will not find any person eager to print their productions. Before
accepting any production for publication in print, the publisher or
printer will have to apply to the authorities for permission to do
so. Thus we shall know beforehand of all tricks preparing against us
and shall nullify them by getting ahead with explanations on the
subject treated of.
8. Literature and journalism are two of the most
important
educative forces, and therefore our government will become
proprietor of the majority of the journals. This will neutralize the
injurious influence of the privately-owned press and will put us in
possession of a tremendous influence upon the public mind .... If we
give permits for ten journals, we shall ourselves found thirty, and
so on in the same proportion. This, however, must in no wise be
suspected by the public. For which reason all journals published by
us will be of the most opposite, in appearance, tendencies and
opinions, thereby creating confidence in us and bringing over to us
quite unsuspicious opponents, who will thus fall into our trap and
be rendered harmless.
9. In the front rank will stand organs of an official
character.
They will always stand guard over our interests, and therefore their
influence will be comparatively insignificant.
10. In the second rank will be the semi-official organs,
whose
part it will be to attack the tepid and indifferent.
11. In the third rank we shall set up our own, to all
appearance,
opposition, which, in at least one of its organs, will present
what looks like the very antipodes to us. Our real opponents at
heart will accept this simulated opposition as their own and will
show us their cards.
12. All our newspapers will be of all possible
complexions --
aristocratic, republican, revolutionary, even anarchical - for so
long, of course, as the constitution exists .... Like the Indian
idol "Vishnu" they will have a hundred hands, and
every one of them will have a finger on any one of the public
opinions as required. When a pulse quickens these hands will lead
opinion in the direction of our aims, for an excited patient loses
all power of judgment and easily yields to suggestion. Those fools
who will think they are repeating the opinion of a newspaper of
their own camp will be repeating our opinion or any opinion that
seems desirable for us. In the vain belief that they are following
the organ of their party they will, in fact, follow the flag which
we hang out for them.
13. In order to direct our newspaper militia in this
sense we
must take special and minute care in organizing this matter. Under
the title of central department of the press we shall institute
literary gatherings at which our agents will without attracting
attention issue the orders and watchwords of the day. By discussing
and controverting, but always superficially, without touching the
essence of the matter, our organs will carry on a sham fight
fusillade with the official newspapers solely for the purpose of
giving occasion for us to express ourselves more fully than could
well be done from the outset in official announcements, whenever, of
course, that is to our advantage.
14. THESE ATTACKS UPON US WILL ALSO SERVE ANOTHER
PURPOSE,
NAMELY, THAT OUR SUBJECTS WILL BE CONVINCED TO THE EXISTENCE OF FULL
FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND SO GIVE OUR AGENTS AN OCCASION TO AFFIRM THAT
ALL ORGANS WHICH OPPOSE US ARE EMPTY BABBLERS, since they are
incapable of finding any substantial objections to our orders.
ONLY LIES PRINTED
15. Methods of organization like these, imperceptible
to the public eye but absolutely sure, are the best calculated to
succeed in bringing the attention and the confidence of the public
to the side of our government. Thanks to such methods we shall be
in a position as from time to time may be required, to excite or to
tranquillize the public mind on political questions, to persuade or
to confuse, printing now truth, now lies, facts or their
contradictions, according as they may be well or ill received, always
very cautiously feeling our ground before stepping upon it .... WE
SHALL HAVE A SURE TRIUMPH OVER OUR OPPONENTS SINCE THEY WILL NOT HAVE
AT THEIR DISPOSITION ORGANS OF THE PRESS IN WHICH THEY CAN GIVE FULL
AND FINAL EXPRESSION TO THEIR VIEWS owing to the aforesaid methods
of dealing with the press. We shall not even need to refute them
except very superficially.
16. Trial shots like these, fired by us in the third
rank of our
press, in case of need, will be energetically refuted by us in our
semi-official organs.
17. Even nowadays, already, to take only the French
press,
there are forms which reveal masonic solidarity in acting on the
watchword: all organs of the press are bound together by
professional secrecy; like the augurs of old, not one of their
numbers will give away the secret of his sources of information
unless it be resolved to make announcement of them. Not one
journalist will venture to betray this secret, for not one of
them is ever admitted to practice literature unless his whole
past has some disgraceful sore or other .... These sores would be
immediately revealed. So long as they remain the secret of a few
the prestige of the journalist attacks the majority of the
country - the mob follow after him with enthusiasm.
18. Our calculations are especially extended to the
provinces.
It is indispensable for us to inflame there those hopes and impulses
with which we could at any moment fall upon the capital, and we
shall represent to the capitals that these expressions are the
independent hopes and impulses of the provinces. Naturally, the
source of them will be always one and the same - ours. WHAT WE NEED
IS THAT, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS WE ARE IN THE PLENITUDE POWER, THE
CAPITALS SHOULD FIND THEMSELVES STIFLED BY THE PROVINCIAL OPINION OF
THE NATIONS, I.E., OF A MAJORITY ARRANGED BY OUR AGENTUR. What we
need is that at the psychological moment the capitals should not be
in a position to discuss an accomplished fact for the simple reason,
if for no other, that it has been accepted by the public opinion of a
majority in the provinces.
19. WHEN WE ARE IN THE PERIOD OF THE NEW REGIME
TRANSITIONAL TO
THAT OF OUR ASSUMPTION OF FULL SOVEREIGNTY WE MUST NOT ADMIT ANY
REVELATION BY THE PRESS OF ANY FORM OF PUBLIC DISHONESTY; IT IS
NECESSARY THAT THE NEW REGIME SHOULD BE THOUGHT TO HAVE SO PERFECTLY
CONTENDED EVERYBODY THAT EVEN CRIMINALITY HAS DISAPPEARED ... Cases
of the manifestation of criminality should remain known only to
their victims and to chance witnesses - no more.
1. The need for daily bread forces the GOYIM to keep
silence
and be our humble servants. Agents taken on to our press from
among the GOYIM will at our orders discuss anything which it is
inconvenient for us to issue directly in official documents, and
we meanwhile, quietly amid the din of the discussion so raised,
shall simply take and carry through such measures as we wish and
then offer them to the public as an accomplished fact. No one
will dare to demand the abrogation of a matter once settled, all
the more so as it will be represented as an improvement ... And
immediately the press will distract the current of thought
towards, new questions, (have we not trained
people always to be seeking something new?).
Into the discussions of these new questions will throw themselves
those of the brainless dispensers of fortunes who are not able
even now to understand that they have not the remotest conception
about the matters which they undertake to discuss. Questions of
the political are unattainable for any save those who have guided
it already for many ages, the creators.
2. From all this you will see that in securing the
opinion of the
mob we are only facilitating the working of our machinery, and you
may remark that it is not for actions but for words issued by us on
this or that question that we seem to seek approval. We are
constantly making public declaration that we are guided in all our
undertakings by the hope, joined to the conviction, that we are
serving the common weal.
WE DECEIVE WORKERS
3. In order to distract people who may be too
troublesome
from discussions of questions of the political we are now putting
forward what we allege to be new questions of the political, namely,
questions of industry. In this sphere let them discuss themselves
silly! The masses are agreed to remain inactive, to take a rest from
what they suppose to be political (which we trained them to
in
order to use them as a means of combating the GOY governments)
only on condition of being found new employments, in which we are
prescribing them something that looks like the same political object.
In order that the masses themselves may not guess what they are
about WE FURTHER DISTRACT THEM WITH AMUSEMENTS, GAMES, PASTIMES,
PASSIONS, PEOPLE'S PALACES .... SOON WE SHALL BEGIN THROUGH THE
PRESS TO PROPOSE COMPETITIONS IN ART, IN SPORT IN ALL KINDS: these
interests will finally distract their minds from questions in which
we should find ourselves compelled to oppose them. Growing more and
more unaccustomed to reflect and form any opinions of their own,
people will begin to talk in the same tone as we because we alone
shall be offering them new directions for thought ... of course
through such persons as will not be suspected of solidarity with
us.
4. The part played by the liberals, utopian dreamers,
will be
finally played out when our government is acknowledged. Till such
time they will continue to do us good service. Therefore we shall
continue to direct their minds to all sorts of vain conceptions of
fantastic theories, new and apparently progressive: for have we not
with complete success turned the brainless heads of the GOYIM with
progress, till there is not among the GOYIM one mind able to perceive
that under this word lies a departure from truth in all cases where
it is not a question of material inventions, for truth is one, and
in it there is no place for progress. Progress, like a fallacious
idea, serves to obscure truth so that none may know it except us,
the Chosen of God, its guardians.
5. When, we come into our kingdom our orators will
expound great
problems which have turned humanity upside down in order to bring it
at the end under our beneficent rule.
6. Who will ever suspect then that ALL THESE PEOPLES
WERE
STAGE-MANAGED BY US ACCORDING TO A POLITICAL PLAN WHICH NO ONE HAS
SO MUCH AS GUESSED AT IN THE COURSE OF MANY CENTURIES?
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.
1. When we at last definitely come into our kingdom by
the aid of COUPS D'ETAT prepared everywhere for one and the same
day, after definitely acknowledged (and not a little time
will
pass before that comes about, perhaps even a whole century)
we shall make it our task to see that against us such things as
plots shall no longer exist. With this purpose we shall slay without
mercy all who take arms (in hand, like Waco? Randy Weaver?
Port
Arthur? Oklahoma?) to oppose our coming into our kingdom.
Every
kind of new institution of anything like a secret society will also
be punished with death; those of them which are now in existence,
are known to us, serve us and have served us, we shall disband and
send into exile to continents far removed from Europe. IN THIS WAY
WE SHALL PROCEED WITH THOSE "GOY" MASONS WHO KNOW
TOO MUCH; such of these as we may for some reason spare will be kept
in constant fear of exile. We shall promulgate a law making all
former members of secret societies liable to exile from Europe as the
center of rule.
2. Resolutions of our government will be final, without
appeal.
3. In the GOY societies, in which we have planted and
deeply
rooted discord and protestantism, the only possible way of
restoring order is to employ merciless measures that prove the
direct force of authority: no regard must be paid to the victims
who fall, they suffer for the well-being of the future. The
attainment of that well-being, even at the expense of sacrifices,
is the duty of any kind of government that acknowledges as
justification for its existence not only its privileges but its
obligations. The principal guarantee of stability of rule is to
confirm the aureole of power, and this aureole is attained only
by such a majestic inflexibility of might as shall carry on its
face the emblems of inviolability from mystical causes - from the
choice of God. SUCH WAS, UNTIL RECENT TIMES, THE RUSSIAN AUTOCRACY,
THE ONE AND ONLY SERIOUS FOE WE HAD IN THE WORLD, WITHOUT COUNTING
THE PAPACY. Bear in mind the example when Italy, drenched with
blood, never touched a hair of the head of Sulla who had poured
forth that blood: Sulla enjoyed an apotheosis for his might in him,
but his intrepid return to Italy ringed him round with
inviolability. The people do not lay a finger on him who hypnotizes
them by his daring and strength of mind.
SECRET SOCIETIES
4. Meantime, however, until we come into our kingdom,
we shall act in the contrary way: we shall create and multiply
free masonic lodges in all the countries of the world, absorb
into them all who may become or who are prominent in public
activity, for these lodges we shall find our principal
intelligence office and means of influence. All these lodges we
shall bring under one central administration, known to us alone
and to all others absolutely unknown, which will be composed of
our learned elders. The lodges will have their representatives
who will serve to screen the above-mentioned administration of
MASONRY and from whom will issue the watchword and program. In
these lodges we shall tie together the knot which binds together
all revolutionary and liberal elements. Their composition will be
made up of all strata of society. The most secret political plots
will be known to us and fall under our guiding hands on the very
day of their conception. AMONG THE MEMBERS OF THESE LODGES WILL
BE ALMOST ALL THE AGENTS OF INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL POLICE
since their service is for us irreplaceable in the respect that
the police is in a position not only to use its own particular
measures with the insubordinate, but also to screen our activities
and provide pretexts for discontents, ET CETERA.
5. The class of people who most willingly enter into
secret
societies are those who live by their wits, careerists, and in
general people, mostly light-minded, with whom we shall have no
difficulty in dealing and in using to wind up the mechanism of the
machine devised by us. If this world grows agitated the meaning of
that will be that we have had to stir up in order to break up its
too great solidarity. BUT IF THERE SHOULD ARISE IN ITS MIDST A PLOT,
THEN AT THE HEAD OF THAT PLOT WILL BE NO OTHER THAN ONE OF OUR MOST
TRUSTED SERVANTS. It is natural that we and no other should lead
MASONIC activities, for we know whither we are leading, we know the
final goal of every form of activity whereas the GOYIM have
knowledge of nothing, not even of the immediate effect of action;
they put before themselves, usually, the momentary reckoning of the
satisfaction of their self-opinion in the accomplishment of their
thought without even remarking that the very conception never
belonged to their initiative but to our instigation of their
thought ...
GENTILES ARE STUPID
6. The GOYIM enter the lodges out of curiosity or in
the hope by their means to get a nibble at the public pie, and
some of them in order to obtain a hearing before the public for
their impracticable and groundless fantasies: they thirst for the
emotion of success and applause, of which we are remarkably
generous. And the reason why we give them this success is to make
use of the high conceit of themselves to which it gives birth,
for that insensibly disposes them to assimulate our suggestions
without being on their guard against them in the fullness of
their confidence that it is their own infallibility which is
giving utterance to their own thoughts and that it is impossible
for them to borrow those of others .... You cannot imagine to
what extent the wisest of the GOYIM can be brought to a state of
unconscious naivete in the presence of this condition of high
conceit of themselves, and at the same time how easy it is to
take the heart out of them by the slightest ill-success, though
it be nothing more than the stoppage of the applause they had,
and to reduce them to a slavish submission for the sake of winning
a renewal of success .... BY SO MUCH AS OURS DISREGARD SUCCESS IF
ONLY THEY CAN CARRY THROUGH THEIR PLANS, BY SO MUCH THE "GOYIM"
ARE WILLING TO SACRIFICE ANY PLANS ONLY
TO HAVE SUCCESS. This psychology of theirs materially facilitates
for us the task of setting them in the required direction. These
tigers in appearance have the souls of sheep and the wind blows
freely through their heads. We have set them on the hobby-horse
of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic
unit of COLLECTIVISM .... They have never yet and they never will
have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest
violation of the most important law of nature, which has established
from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and
precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality ....
7. If we have been able to bring them to such a pitch of
stupid
blindness is it not a proof, and an amazingly clear proof, of the
degree to which the mind of the GOYIM is undeveloped in comparison
with our mind? This it is, mainly, which guarantees our success.
GENTILES ARE CATTLE
8. And how far-seeing were our learned elders in
ancient times when they said that to attain a serious end it
behooves not to stop at any means or to count the victims
sacrificed for the sake of that end .... We have not counted the
victims of the seed of the GOY cattle, though we have sacrificed
many of our own, but for that we have now already given them such
a position on the earth as they could not even have dreamed of.
The comparatively small numbers of the victims from the number of
ours have preserved our nationality from destruction.
9. Death is the inevitable end for all. It is better to
bring that
end nearer to those who hinder our affairs than to ourselves, to the
founders of this affair. WE EXECUTE MASONS IN SUCH WISE THAT NONE
SAVE THE BROTHERHOOD CAN EVER HAVE A SUSPICION OF IT, NOT EVEN THE
VICTIMS THEMSELVES OF OUR DEATH SENTENCE, THEY ALL DIE WHEN REQUIRED
AS IF FROM A NORMAL KIND OF ILLNESS ..... Knowing this, even the
brotherhood in its turn dare not protest. By such methods we have
plucked out of the midst of MASONRY the very root of protest against
our disposition. While preaching liberalism to the GOY we at the
same time keep our own people and our agents in a state of
unquestioning submission.
10. Under our influence the execution of the laws of the
GOYIM
has been reduced to a minimum. The prestige of the law has been
exploded by the liberal interpretations introduced into this sphere.
In the most important and fundamental affairs and questions, JUDGES
DECIDE AS WE DICTATE TO THEM, see matters in the light wherewith we
enfold them for the administration of the GOYIM, of course, through
persons who are our tools though we do not appear to have anything
in common with them - by newspaper opinion or by other means ....
Even senators and the higher administration accept our counsels. The
purely brute mind of the GOYIM is incapable of use for analysis and
observation, and still more for the foreseeing whither a certain
manner of setting a question may tend.
11. In this difference in capacity for thought between
the GOYIM
and ourselves may be clearly discerned the seal of our position as
the Chosen People and of our higher quality of humanness, in
contradistinction to the brute mind of the GOYIM. Their eyes are
open, but see nothing before them and do not invent (unless
perhaps, material things). From this it is plain that nature
herself has destined us to guide and rule the world.
WE DEMAND SUBMISSION
12. When comes the time of our overt rule, the time to
manifest its blessing, we shall remake all legislatures, all our
laws will be brief, plain, stable, without any kind of
interpretations, so that anyone will be in a position to know
them perfectly. The main feature which will run right through
them is submission to orders, and this principle will be carried
to a grandiose height. Every abuse will then disappear in
consequence of the responsibility of all down to the lowest unit
before the higher authority of the representative of power. Abuses
of power subordinate to this last instance will be so mercilessly
punished that none will be found anxious to try experiments with
their own powers. We shall follow up jealously every action of the
administration on which depends the smooth running of the machinery
of the State, for slackness in this produces slackness everywhere;
not a single case of illegality or abuse of power will be left
without exemplary punishment.
13. Concealment of guilt, connivance between those in
the service
of the administration - all this kind of evil will disappear after
the very first examples of severe punishment. The aureole of our
power demands suitable, that is, cruel, punishments for the
slightest infringement, for the sake of gain, of its supreme
prestige. The sufferer, though his punishment may exceed his fault,
will count as a soldier falling on the administrative field of
battle in the interests of authority, principle and law, which do
not permit that any of those who hold the reins of the public
coach should turn aside from the public highway to their own
private paths. FOR EXAMPLES OUR JUDGES WILL KNOW THAT WHENEVER THEY
FEEL DISPOSED TO PLUME THEMSELVES ON FOOLISH CLEMENCY THEY ARE
VIOLATING THE LAW OF JUSTICE WHICH IS INSTITUTED FOR THE EXEMPLARY
EDIFICATION OF MEN BY PENALTIES FOR LAPSES AND NOT FOR DISPLAY OF
THE SPIRITUAL QUALITIES OF THE JUDGES .... Such qualities it is
proper to show in private life, but not in a public square which is
the educational basis of human life.
14. Our legal staff will serve not beyond the age of 55,
firstly
because old men more obstinately hold to prejudiced opinions, and
are less capable of submitting to new directions, and secondly
because this will give us the possibility by this measure of
securing elasticity in the changing of staff, which will thus the
more easily bend under our pressure: he who wishes to keep his place
will have to give blind obedience to deserve it. In general, our
judges will be elected by us only from among those who thoroughly
understand that the part they have to play is to punish and apply
laws and not to dream about the manifestations of liberalism at the
expense of the educational scheme of the State, as the GOYIM in
these days imagine it to be .... This method of shuffling the staff
will serve also to explode any collective solidarity of those in the
same service and will bind all to the interests of the government
upon which their fate will depend. The young generation of judges
will be trained in certain views regarding the inadmissibility of
any abuses that might disturb the established order of our subjects
among themselves.
15. In these days the judges of the GOYIM create
indulgences to
every kind of crimes, not having a just understanding of their
office, because the rulers of the present age in appointing judges
to office take no care to inculcate in them a sense of duty and
consciousness of the matter which is demanded of them. As a brute
beast lets out its young in search of prey, so do the GOYIM give to
them for what purpose such place was created. This is the reason why
their governments are being ruined by their own forces through the
acts of their own administration.
16. Let us borrow from the example of the results of
these
actions yet another lesson for our government.
17. We shall root out liberalism from all the important
strategic
posts of our government on which depends the training of
subordinates for our State structure. Such posts will fall
exclusively to those who have been trained by us for administrative
rule. To the possible objection that the retirement of old servants
will cost the Treasury heavily, I reply, firstly, they will be
provided with some private service in place of what they lose, and,
secondly, I have to remark that all the money in the world will be
concentrated in our hands, consequently it is not our government
that has to fear expense.
WE SHALL BE CRUEL
18. Our absolutism will in all things be logically
consecutive and therefore in each one of its decrees our supreme
will must be respected and unquestionably fulfilled: it will ignore
all murmurs, all discontents of every kind and will destroy to
the root every kind of manifestation of them in act by punishment
of an exemplary character.
19. We shall abolish the right of appeal, which will be
transferred exclusively to our disposal - to the cognizance of him
who rules, for we must not allow the conception among the people of
a thought that there could be such a thing as a decision that is not
right of judges set up by us. If, however, anything like this should
occur, we shall ourselves quash the decision, but inflict
therewith such exemplary punishment on the judge for lack of
understanding of his duty and the purpose of his appointment as
will prevent a repetition of such cases .... I repeat that it must
be born in mind that we shall know every step of our administration
which only needs to be closely watched for the people to be content
with us, for it has the right to demand from a good government a
good official.
20. OUR GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE THE APPEARANCE OF A
PATRIARCHAL
PATERNAL GUARDIANSHIP ON THE PART OF OUR RULER. Our own nation and
our subjects will discern in his person a father caring for their
every need, their every act, their every interrelation as subjects
one with another, as well as their relations to the ruler. They will
then be so thoroughly imbued with the thought that it is impossible
for them to dispense with this wardship and guidance, if they wish
to live in peace and quiet, THAT THEY WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THE AUTOCRACY
OF OUR RULER WITH A DEVOTION BORDERING ON "APOTHEOSIS,"
especially when they are convinced that those whom we set up do not
put their own in place of authority, but only blindly execute his
dictates. They will be rejoiced that we have regulated everything in
their lives as is done by wise parents who desire to train children
in the cause of duty and submission. For the peoples of the world in
regard to the secrets of our polity are ever through the ages only
children under age, precisely as are also their governments.
21. As you see, I found our despotism on right and duty:
the
right to compel the execution of duty is the direct obligation of
a government which is a father for its subjects. It has the right
of the strong that it may use it for the benefit of directing
humanity towards that order which is defined by nature, namely,
submission. Everything in the world is in a state of submission, if
not to man, then to circumstances or its own inner character, in all
cases, to what is stronger. And so shall we be this something
stronger for the sake of good.
22. We are obliged without hesitation to sacrifice
individuals,
who commit a breach of established order, for in the exemplary
punishment of evil lies a great educational problem.
23. When the King of Israel sets upon his sacred head
the crown
offered him by Europe he will become patriarch of the world. The
indispensable victims offered by him in consequence of their
suitability will never reach the number of victims offered in the
course of centuries by the mania of magnificence, the emulation
between the GOY governments.
24. Our King will be in constant communion with the
peoples,
making to them from the tribune speeches which fame will in that
same hour distribute over all the world.
1. In order to effect the destruction of all
collective forces except ours we shall emasculate the first stage
of collectivism - the UNIVERSITIES, by re-educating them in a new
direction. THEIR OFFICIALS AND PROFESSORS WILL BE PREPARED FOR
THEIR BUSINESS BY DETAILED SECRET PROGRAMS OF ACTION FROM WHICH
THEY WILL NOT WITH IMMUNITY DIVERGE, NOT BY ONE IOTA. THEY WILL
BE APPOINTED WITH ESPECIAL PRECAUTION, AND WILL BE SO PLACED AS
TO BE WHOLLY DEPENDENT UPON THE GOVERNMENT.
2. We shall exclude from the course of instruction State
Law as
also all that concerns the political question. These subjects will
be taught to a few dozen of persons chosen for their pre-eminent
capacities from among the number of the initiated. THE UNIVERSITIES
MUST NO LONGER SEND OUT FROM THEIR HALLS MILK SOPS CONCOCTING PLANS
FOR A CONSTITUTION, LIKE A COMEDY OR A TRAGEDY, BUSYING THEMSELVES
WITH QUESTIONS OF POLICY IN WHICH EVEN THEIR OWN FATHERS NEVER HAD
ANY POWER OF THOUGHT.
3. The ill-guided acquaintance of a large number of
persons with
questions of polity creates utopian dreamers and bad subjects, as
you can see for yourselves from the example of the universal
education in this direction of the GOYIM. We must introduce into
their education all those principles which have so brilliantly
broken up their order. But when we are in power we shall remove
every kind of disturbing subject from the course of education and
shall make out of the youth obedient children of authority, loving
him who rules as the support and hope of peace and quiet.
WE SHALL CHANGE HISTORY
4. Classicism as also any form of study of ancient
history, in which there are more bad than good examples, we shall
replace with the study of the program of the future. We shall
erase from the memory of men all facts of previous centuries
which are undesirable to us, and leave only those which depict
all the errors of the government of the GOYIM. The study of
practical life, of the obligations of order, of the relations of
people one to another, of avoiding bad and selfish examples,
which spread the infection of evil, and similar questions of an
educative nature, will stand in the forefront of the teaching
program, which will be drawn up on a separate plan for each
calling or state of life, in no wise generalizing the teaching.
This treatment of the question has special importance.
5. Each state of life must be trained within strict
limits corresponding to its destination and work in life. The
OCCASIONAL GENIUS HAS ALWAYS MANAGED AND ALWAYS WILL MANAGE TO
SLIP THROUGH INTO OTHER STATES OF LIFE, BUT IT IS THE MOST
PERFECT FOLLY FOR THE SAKE OF THIS RARE OCCASIONAL GENIUS TO LET
THROUGH INTO RANKS FOREIGN TO THEM THE UNTALENTED WHO THUS ROB OF
THEIR PLACES THOSE WHO BELONG TO THOSE RANKS BY BIRTH OR EMPLOYMENT.
YOU KNOW YOURSELVES IN WHAT ALL THIS HAS ENDED FOR THE
"GOYIM" WHO ALLOWED THIS CRYING ABSURDITY.
6. In order that he who rules may be seated firmly in
the hearts
and minds of his subjects it is necessary for the time of his
activity to instruct the whole nation in the schools and on the
market places about this meaning and his acts and all his beneficent
initiatives.
7. We shall abolish every kind of freedom of
instruction.
Learners of all ages have the right to assemble together with their
parents in the educational establishments as it were in a club:
during these assemblies, on holidays, teachers will read what will
pass as free lectures on questions of human relations, of the laws
of examples, of the philosophy of new theories not yet declared to
the world. These theories will be raised by us to the stage of a
dogma of faith as a traditional stage towards our faith. On the
completion of this exposition of our program of action in the
present and the future I will read you the principles of these
theories.
8. In a word, knowing by the experience of many
centuries that
people live and are guided by ideas, that these ideas are imbibed
by people only by the aid of education provided with equal
success for all ages of growth, but of course by varying methods,
we shall swallow up and confiscate to our own use the last
scintilla of independence of thought, which we have for long past
been directing towards subjects and ideas useful for us. The system
of bridling thought is already at work in the so-called system of
teaching by OBJECT LESSONS, the purpose of which is to turn the
GOYIM into unthinking submissive brutes waiting for things to be
presented before their eyes in order to form an idea of them ....
In France, one of our best agents, Bourgeois, has already made
public a new program of teaching by object lessons.
1. The practice of advocacy produces men
cold, cruel,
persistent, unprincipled, who in all cases take up an impersonal,
purely legal standpoint. They have the inveterate habit to refer
everything to its value for the defense and not to the public
welfare of its results. They do not usually decline to undertake
any defense whatever, they strive for an acquittal at all costs,
caviling over every petty crux of jurisprudence and thereby they
demoralize justice. For this reason we shall set this profession
into narrow frames which will keep it inside this sphere of
executive public service. Advocates, equally with judges, will be
deprived of the right of communication with litigants; they will
receive business only from the court and will study it by notes
of report and documents, defending their clients after they have
been interrogated in court on facts that have appeared. They will
receive an honorarium without regard to the quality of the defense.
This will render them mere reporters on law-business in the
interests of justice and as counterpoise to the proctor who will be
the reporter in the interests of prosecution; this will shorten
business before the courts. In this way will be established a
practice of honest unprejudiced defense conducted not from personal
interest but by conviction. This will also, by the way, remove the
present practice of corrupt bargain between advocation to agree only
to let that side win which pays most .....
WE SHALL DESTROY THE
CLERGY
2. WE HAVE LONG PAST TAKEN CARE TO DISCREDIT THE
PRIESTHOOD OF THE "GOYIM," and thereby to ruin
their mission on earth which in these days might still be a great
hindrance to us. Day by day its influence on the peoples of the
world is falling lower. FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE HAS BEEN DECLARED
EVERYWHERE, SO THAT NOW ONLY YEARS DIVIDE US FROM THE MOMENT OF THE
COMPLETE WRECKING OF THAT CHRISTIAN RELIGION: as to other religions
we shall have still less difficulty in dealing with them, but it
would be premature to speak of this now. We shall set clericalism
and clericals into such narrow frames as to make their influence
move in retrogressive proportion to its former progress.
3. When the time comes finally to destroy the papal
court the
finger of an invisible hand will point the nations towards this
court. When, however, the nations fling themselves upon it, we
shall come forward in the guise of its defenders as if to save
excessive bloodshed. By this diversion we shall penetrate to its
very bowels and be sure we shall never come out again until we
have gnawed through the entire strength of this place.
4. THE KING OF THE
JEWS WILL BE THE REAL POPE OF
THE UNIVERSE, THE PATRIARCH OF THE INTERNATIONAL CHURCH
5. But, IN THE MEANTIME, while we are re-educating youth
in new
traditional religions and afterwards in ours, WE SHALL NOT OVERTLY
LAY A FINGER ON EXISTING CHURCHES, BUT WE SHALL FIGHT AGAINST THEM
BY CRITICISM CALCULATED TO PRODUCE SCHISM . . .
6. In general, then, our contemporary press will
continue to
CONVICT State affairs, religions, incapacities of the GOYIM,
always using the most unprincipled expressions in order by every
means to lower their prestige in the manner which can only be
practiced by the genius of our gifted tribe . . . (Calling
the Jim
Jones massacre in Guyana a mass suicide, not a C.I.A./MK-ULTRA/U.S.
Government massacre? Denying the massacre of the Branch Dravidian
sect at Waco, Texas, was a needless and deliberate massacre by the
B.A.T.F./F.B.I/C.I.A/U.S. Government).
7. Our kingdom will be an apologia of the divinity
Vishnu, in
whom is found its personification - in our hundred hands will be,
one in each, the springs of the machinery of social life. We shall
see everything without the aid of official police which, in that
scope of its rights which we elaborated for the use of the GOYIM,
hinders governments from seeing. In our programs ONE-THIRD OF OUR
SUBJECTS WILL KEEP THE REST UNDER OBSERVATION from a sense of duty,
on the principle of volunteer service to the State. It will then be
no disgrace to be a spy and informer, but a merit: unfounded
denunciations, however, will be cruelly punished that there may be
no development of abuses of this right.
8. Our agents will be taken from the higher as well as
the lower ranks of society, from among the administrative class
who spend their time in amusements, editors, printers and
publishers, booksellers, clerks, and salesmen, workmen, coachmen,
lackeys, et cetera. This body, having no rights and not being
empowered to take any action on their own account, and
consequently a police without any power, will only witness and
report: verification of their reports and arrests will depend
upon a responsible group of controllers of police affairs, while
the actual act of arrest will be performed by the gendarmerie and
the municipal police. Any person not denouncing anything seen or
heard concerning questions of polity will also be charged with
and made responsible for concealment, if it be proved that he is
guilty of this crime.
9. JUST AS NOWADAYS OUR BRETHREN, ARE OBLIGED AT THEIR
OWN RISK
TO DENOUNCE TO THE KAHAL APOSTATES OF THEIR OWN FAMILY or members
who have been noticed doing anything in opposition to the KAHAL, SO
IN OUR KINGDOM OVER ALL THE WORLD IT WILL BE OBLIGATORY FOR ALL OUR
SUBJECTS TO OBSERVE THE DUTY OF SERVICE TO THE STATE IN THIS
DIRECTION.
10. Such an organization will extirpate abuses of
authority, of
force, of bribery, everything in fact which we by our counsels, by
our theories of the superhuman rights of man, have introduced into
the customs of the GOYIM .... But how else were we to procure that
increase of causes predisposing to disorders in the midst of their
administration? .... Among the number of those methods one of the
most important is - agents for the restoration of order, so placed
as to have the opportunity in their disintegrating activity of
developing and displaying their evil inclinations - obstinate
self-conceit, irresponsible exercise of authority, and, first and
foremost, venality. (Janet Reno? B.A.T.F.? C.I.A.?)
1. When it becomes necessary for us to strengthen the
strict measures of secret defense (the most fatal poison for the
prestige of authority) we shall arrange a simulation of disorders
or some manifestation of discontents finding expression through
the co-operation of good speakers. Round these speakers will
assemble all who are sympathetic to his utterances. This will
give us the pretext for domiciliary prerequisitions and
surveillance on the part of our servants from among the number of
the GOYIM police ... (Australia's One Nation Party?
A.D.L./B'nai
B'rith activities against the peace?)
2. As the majority of conspirators act out of love for
the
game, for the sake of talking, so, until they commit some overt
act we shall not lay a finger on them but only introduce into
their midst observation elements .... It must be remembered that
the prestige of authority is lessened if it frequently discovers
conspiracies against itself: this implies a presumption of
consciousness of weakness, or, what is still worse, of injustice.
You are aware that we have broken the prestige of the GOY kings
by frequent attempts upon their lives through our agents, blind
sheep of our flock, who are easily moved by a few liberal phrases
to crimes provided only they be painted in political colors. WE
HAVE COMPELLED THE RULERS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR WEAKNESS IN
ADVERTISING OVERT MEASURES OF SECRET DEFENSE AND THEREBY WE
SHALL BRING THE PROMISE OF AUTHORITY TO DESTRUCTION.
3. Our ruler will be secretly protected only by the most
insignificant guard, because we shall not admit so much as a thought
that there could exist against him any sedition with which he is not
strong enough to contend and is compelled to hide from it.
4. If we should admit this thought, as the GOYIM have
done and are doing, we should IPSO FACTO be signing a death
sentence, if not for our ruler, at any rate for his dynasty, at
no distant date.
GOVERNMENT BY FEAR
5. According to strictly enforced outward appearances
our ruler will employ his power only for the advantage of the
nation and in no wise for his own or dynastic profits. Therefore,
with the observance of this decorum, his authority will be
respected and guarded by the subjects themselves, it will receive
an apotheosis in the admission that with it is bound up the
well-being of every citizen of the State, for upon it will depend
all order in the common life of the pack ....
6. OVERT DEFENSE OF THE KIND ARGUES WEAKNESS IN THE
ORGANIZATION OF HIS STRENGTH.
7. Our ruler will always be among the people and be
surrounded
by a mob of apparently curious men and women, who will occupy the
front ranks about him, to all appearance by chance, and will
restrain the ranks of the rest out of respect as it will appear
for good order. This will sow an example of restraint also in
others. If a petitioner appears among the people trying to hand
a petition and forcing his way through the ranks, the first ranks
must receive the petition and before the eyes of the petitioner
pass it to the ruler, so that all may know that what is handed in
reaches its destination, that consequently, there exists a control
of the ruler himself. The aureole of power requires for his
existence that the people may be able to say: "If the king
knew of this," or: "the king will hear it."
8. WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF OFFICIAL DEFENSE, THE
MYSTICAL
PRESTIGE OF AUTHORITY DISAPPEARS: given a certain audacity, and
everyone counts himself master of it, the sedition-monger is
conscious of his strength, and when occasion serves watches for
the moment to make an attempt upon authority .... For the GOYIM we
have been preaching something else, but by that very fact we are
enabled to see what measures of overt defense have brought them
to ....
9. CRIMINALS WITH US WILL BE ARRESTED AT THE FIRST, more
or less,
well-grounded SUSPICION: it cannot be allowed that out of fear of a
possible mistake an opportunity should be given of escape to persons
suspected of a political lapse of crime, for in these matters we
shall be literally merciless. If it is still possible, by stretching
a point, to admit a reconsideration of the motive causes in simple
crimes, there is no possibility of excuse for persons occupying
themselves with questions in which nobody except the government can
understand anything .... And it is not all governments that
understand true policy.
1. If we do not permit any independent dabbling in the
political we shall on the other hand encourage every kind of
report or petition with proposals for the government to examine
into all kinds of projects for the amelioration of the condition
of the people; this will reveal to us the defects or else the
fantasies of our subjects, to which we shall respond either by
accomplishing them or by a wise rebuttment to prove the
shortsightedness of one who judges wrongly.
2. Sedition-mongering is nothing more than the yapping
of a
lap-dog at an elephant. For a government well organized, not from
the police but from the public point of view, the lap-dog yaps at
the elephant in entire unconsciousness of its strength and
importance. It needs no more than to take a good example to show
the relative importance of both and the lap-dogs will cease to yap
and will wag their tails the moment they set eyes on an elephant.
3. In order to destroy the prestige of heroism for
political
crime we shall send it for trial in the category of thieving,
murder, and every kind of abominable and filthy crime. Public
opinion will then confuse in its conception this category of
crime with the disgrace attaching to every other and will brand it
with the same contempt.
4. We have done our best, and I hope we have succeeded
to obtain
that the GOYIM should not arrive at this means of contending with
sedition. It was for this reason that through the Press and in
speeches, indirectly - in cleverly compiled school-books on
history, we have advertised the martyrdom alleged to have been
accredited by sedition-mongers for the idea of the commonweal. This
advertisement has increased the contingent of liberals and has
brought thousands of GOYIM into the ranks of our livestock
cattle.
1. To-day we shall touch upon the financial program,
which I put off to the end of my report as being the most
difficult, the crowning and the decisive point of our plans.
Before entering upon it I will remind you that I have already
spoken before by way of a hint when I said that the sum total of
our actions is settled by the question of figures.
2. When we come into our kingdom our autocratic
government will
avoid, from a principle of self-preservation, sensibly burdening
the masses of the people with taxes, remembering that it plays the
part of father and protector. But as State organization cost dear
it is necessary nevertheless to obtain the funds required for it.
It will, therefore, elaborate with particular precaution the
question of equilibrium in this matter.
3. Our rule, in which the king will enjoy the legal
fiction that
everything in his State belongs to him (which may easily be
translated into fact), will be enabled to resort to the
lawful
confiscation of all sums of every kind for the regulation of their
circulation in the State. From this follows that taxation will best
be covered by a progressive tax on property. In this manner the
dues will be paid without straitening or ruining anybody in the
form of a percentage of the amount of property. The rich must be
aware that it is their duty to place a part of their superfluities
at the disposal of the State since the State guarantees them
security of possession of the rest of their property and the right
of honest gains, I say honest, for the control over property will
do away with robbery on a legal basis.
4. This social reform must come from above, for the time
is ripe
for it - it is indispensable as a pledge of peace.
WE SHALL DESTROY CAPITAL
5. The tax upon the poor man is a seed of revolution
and works to the detriment of the State which in hunting after
the trifling is missing the big. Quite apart from this, a tax on
capitalists diminishes the growth of wealth in private hands in
which we have in these days concentrated it as a counterpoise to
the government strength of the GOYIM - their State finances.
6. A tax increasing in a percentage ratio to capital
will give
much larger revenue than the present individual or property tax,
which is useful to us now for the sole reason that it excites
trouble and discontent among the GOYIM. (Now we know the
purpose of the 16th Amendment!!)
7. The force upon which our king will rest consists in
the
equilibrium and the guarantee of peace, for the sake of which
things it is indispensable that the capitalists should yield up a
portion of their incomes for the sake of the secure working of
the machinery of the State. State needs must be paid by those who
will not feel the burden and have enough to take from.
8. Such a measure will destroy the hatred of the poor
man for
the rich, in whom he will see a necessary financial support for
the State, will see in him the organizer of peace and well-being
since he will see that it is the rich man who is paying the
necessary means to attain these things.
9. In order that payers of the educated classes should
not too
much distress themselves over the new payments they will have full
accounts given them of the destination of those payments, with the
exception of such sums as will be appropriated for the needs of
the throne and the administrative institutions.
10. He who reigns will not have any properties of his
own once
all in the State represented his patrimony, or else the one would
be in contradiction to the other; the fact of holding private means
would destroy the right of property in the common possessions of all.
11. Relatives of him who reigns, his heirs excepted, who
will be
maintained by the resources of the State, must enter the ranks of
servants of the State or must work to obtain the right to property;
the privilege of royal blood must not serve for the spoiling of the
treasury.
12. Purchase, receipt of money or inheritance will be
subject to the payment of a stamp progressive tax. Any transfer
of property, whether money or other, without evidence of payment
of this tax which will be strictly registered by names, will
render the former holder liable to pay interest on the tax from
the moment of transfer of these sums up to the discovery of his
evasion of declaration of the transfer. Transfer documents must
be presented weekly at the local treasury office with
notifications of the name, surname and permanent place of
residence of the former and the new holder of the property. This
transfer with register of names must begin from a definite sum
which exceeds the ordinary expenses of buying and selling
necessaries, and these will be subject to payment only by a stamp
impost of a definite percentage of the unit.
13. Just strike an estimate of how many times such taxes
as
these will cover the revenue of the GOYIM States.
WE CAUSE DEPRESSIONS
14. The State exchequer will have to maintain a
definite complement of reserve sums, and all that is collected
above that complement must be returned into circulation. On these
sums will be organized public works. The initiative in works of
this kind, proceeding from State sources, will bind the working
class firmly to the interests of the State and to those who
reign. From these same sums also a part will be set aside as
rewards of inventiveness and productiveness.
15. On no account should so much as a single unit above
the definite and freely estimated sums be retained in the State
Treasuries, for money exists to be circulated and any kind of
stagnation of money acts ruinously on the running of the State
machinery, for which it is the lubricant; a stagnation of the
lubricant may stop the regular working of the mechanism.
16. The substitution of interest-bearing paper for a
part
of the token of exchange has produced exactly this stagnation.
The consequences of this circumstance are already sufficiently
noticeable.
17. A court of account will also be instituted by us,
and in
it the ruler will find at any moment a full accounting for
State income and expenditure, with the exception of the current
monthly account, not yet made up, and that of the preceding
month, which will not yet have been delivered.
18. The one and only person who will have no interest
in robbing the State is its owner, the ruler. This is why his
personal control will remove the possibility of leakages or
extravagances.
19. The representative function of the ruler at
receptions
for the sake of etiquette, which absorbs so much invaluable time,
will be abolished in order that the ruler may have time for
control and consideration. His power will not then be split up
into fractional parts among time-serving favorites who surround
the throne for its pomp and splendor, and are interested only in
their own and not in the common interests of the State.
20. Economic crises have been produced by us for the
GOYIM by
no other means than the withdrawal of money from circulation. Huge
capitals have stagnated, withdrawing money from States, which were
constantly obliged to apply to those same stagnant capitals for
loans. These loans burdened the finances of the State with the
payment of interest and made them the bond slaves of these
capitals .... The concentration of industry in the hands of
capitalists out of the hands of small masters has drained away all
the juices of the peoples and with them also the States .... (Now
we know the purpose of the Federal Reserve Bank Corporation!!)
21. The present issue of money in general does not
correspond
with the requirements per head, and cannot therefore satisfy all
the needs of the workers. The issue of money ought to correspond
with the growth of population and thereby children also must
absolutely be reckoned as consumers of currency from the day of
their birth. The revision of issue is a material question for the
whole world.
22. YOU ARE AWARE THAT THE GOLD STANDARD HAS BEEN THE
RUIN OF
THE STATES WHICH ADOPTED IT, FOR IT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO SATISFY
THE DEMANDS FOR MONEY, THE MORE SO THAT WE HAVE REMOVED GOLD FROM
CIRCULATION AS FAR AS POSSIBLE.
GENTILE STATES BANKRUPT
23. With us the standard that must be introduced is
the cost of working-man power, whether it be reckoned in paper or
in wood. We shall make the issue of money in accordance with the
normal requirements of each subject, adding to the quantity with
every birth and subtracting with every death.
24. The accounts will be managed by each department (the
French administrative division), each circle.
25. In order that there may be no delays in the paying
out of
money for State needs the sums and terms of such payments will be
fixed by decree of the ruler; this will do away with the protection
by a ministry of one institution to the detriment of others.
26. The budgets of income and expenditure will be
carried out
side by side that they may not be obscured by distance one to
another.
27. The reforms projected by us in the financial
institutions
and principles of the GOYIM will be clothed by us in such forms as
will alarm nobody. We shall point out the necessity of reforms in
consequence of the disorderly darkness into which the GOYIM by their
irregularities have plunged the finances. The first irregularity, as
we shall point out, consists in their beginning with drawing up a
single budget which year after year grows owing to the following
cause: this budget is dragged out to half the year, then they demand
a budget to put things right, and this they expend in three months,
after which they ask for a supplementary budget, and all this ends
with a liquidation budget. But, as the budget of the following year
is drawn up in accordance with the sum of the total addition, the
annual departure from the normal reaches as much as 50 per cent in
a year, and so the annual budget is trebled in ten years. Thanks to
such methods, allowed by the carelessness of the GOY States, their
treasuries are empty. The period of loans supervenes, and that has
swallowed up remainders and brought all the GOY States to
bankruptcy. (The United States was declared "bankrupt"
at the Geneva Convention of 1929! [see 31 USC 5112, 5118, and 5119).
28. You understand perfectly that economic arrangements
of this
kind, which have been suggested to the GOYIM by us, cannot be
carried on by us.
29. Every kind of loan proves infirmity in the State and
a want
of understanding of the rights of the State. Loans hang like a
sword of Damocles over the heads of rulers, who, instead of taking
from their subjects by a temporary tax, come begging with
outstretched palm to our bankers. Foreign loans are leeches which
there is no possibility of removing from the body of the State until
they fall off of themselves or the State flings them off. But the
GOY States do not tear them off; they go on in persisting in putting
more on to themselves so that they must inevitably perish, drained
by voluntary blood-letting.
TYRANNY
OF USURY
30. What also indeed is, in substance, a loan,
especially
a foreign loan? A loan is - an issue of government bills of
exchange containing a percentage obligation commensurate to the sum
of the loan capital. If the loan bears a charge of 5 per cent, then
in twenty years the State vainly pays away in interest a sum equal
to the loan borrowed, in forty years it is paying a double sum, in
sixty - treble, and all the while the debt remains an unpaid debt.
31. From this calculation it is obvious that with any
form of
taxation per head the State is baling out the last coppers of the
poor taxpayers in order to settle accounts with wealthy foreigners,
from whom it has borrowed money instead of collecting these
coppers for its own needs without the additional interest.
32. So long as loans were internal the GOYIM only
shuffled their
money from the pockets of the poor to those of the rich, but when we
bought up the necessary persons in order to transfer loans into the
external sphere, (Woodrow Wilson and F.D. Roosevelt)
all the
wealth of States flowed into our cash-boxes and all the GOYIM began
to pay us the tribute of subjects.
33. If the superficiality of GOY kings on their thrones
in regard
to State affairs and the venality of ministers or the want of
understanding of financial matters on the part of other ruling
persons have made their countries debtors to our treasuries to
amounts quite impossible to pay it has not been accomplished
without, on our part, heavy expenditure of trouble and money.
34. Stagnation of money will not be allowed by us and
therefore
there will be no State interest-bearing paper, except a one per-cent
series, so that there will be no payment of interest to leeches that
suck all the strength out of the State. The right to issue
interest-bearing paper will be given exclusively to industrial
companies
who find no difficulty in paying interest out of profits, whereas
the State does not make interest on borrowed money like these
companies, for the State borrows to spend and not to use in
operations. (Now we know why President Kennedy was
assassinated in
1963 when he refused to borrow any more of the "Bank Notes"
from the bankers of the Federal Reserve Bank and began circulating
non-interest bearing "Notes" of the "United States
of America"!!!).
35. Industrial papers will be bought also by the
government
which from being as now a paper of tribute by loan operations will
be transformed into a lender of money at a profit. This measure will
stop the stagnation of money, parasitic profits and idleness, all of
which were useful for us among the GOYIM so long as they were
independent but are not desirable under our rule.
36. How clear is the undeveloped power of thought of the
purely
brute brains of the GOYIM, as expressed in the fact that they have
been borrowing from us with payment of interest without ever
thinking that all the same these very moneys plus an addition for
payment of interest must be got by them from their own State
pockets in order to settle up with us. What could have been
simpler than to take the money they wanted from their own people?
37. But it is a proof of the genius of our chosen mind
that we
have contrived to present the matter of loans to them in such a
light that they have even seen in them an advantage for themselves.
38. Our accounts, which we shall present when the time
comes, in
the light of centuries of experience gained by experiments made by
us on the GOY States, will be distinguished by clearness and
definiteness and will show at a glance to all men the advantage
of our innovations. They will put an end to those abuses to which
we owe our mastery over the GOYIM, but which cannot be allowed in
our kingdom.
39. We shall so hedge about our system of accounting
that neither
the ruler nor the most insignificant public servant will be in a
position to divert even the smallest sum from its destination without
detection or to direct it in another direction except that which will
be once fixed in a definite plan of action. (Is this why a
"private corporation," known as the "Internal Revenue
Service," is in charge of collecting the "payments" of
the "Income Taxes" and the IRS always deposits those
"payments" to the Federal Reserve bank and never to the
Treasury of the United States??)
40. And without a definite plan it is impossible to
rule. Marching
along an undetermined road and with undetermined resources brings to
ruin by the way heroes and demi-gods.
41. The GOY rulers, whom we once upon a time advised
should be
distracted from State occupations by representative receptions,
observances of etiquette, entertainments, were only screens for our
rule. (Like the House of Windsor (Guelph) and the rest of the
"Black Nobility"?) The accounts of favorite courtiers
who replaced them in the sphere of affairs were drawn up for them by
our agents, and every time gave satisfaction to short-sighted minds
by promises that in the future economies and improvements were
foreseen .... Economies from what? From new taxes? - were questions
that might have been but were not asked by those who read our
accounts and projects.
42. You know to what they have been brought by this
carelessness,
to what pitch of financial disorder they have arrived,
notwithstanding the astonishing industry of their peoples ....
1. To what I reported to you at the last meeting I
shall now add a detailed explanation of internal loans. Of
foreign loans I shall say nothing more, because they have fed us
with the national moneys of the GOYIM, but for our State there will
be no foreigners, that is, nothing external.
2. We have taken advantage of the venality of
administrators and
slackness of rulers to get our moneys twice, thrice and more times
over, by lending to the GOY governments moneys which were not at all
needed by the States. Could anyone do the like in regard to us? ....
Therefore, I shall only deal with the details of internal loans.
3. States announce that such a loan is to be concluded
and open
subscriptions for their own bills of exchange, that is, for their
interest-bearing paper. That they may be within the reach of all
the price is determined at from a hundred to a thousand; and a
discount is made for the earliest subscribers. Next day by
artificial means the price of them goes up, the alleged reason being
that everyone is rushing to buy them. In a few days the treasury
safes are, as they say, overflowing and there's more money than they
can do with (why then take it?) The subscription,
it is
alleged, covers many times over the issue total of the loan; in this
lies the whole stage effect - look you, they say, what confidence
is shown in the government's bills of exchange.
4. But when the comedy is played out there emerges the
fact that
a debit and an exceedingly burdensome debit has been created. For
the payment of interest it becomes necessary to have recourse to
new loans, which do not swallow up but only add to the capital debt.
And when this credit is exhausted it becomes necessary by new taxes
to cover, not the loan, BUT ONLY THE INTEREST ON IT. These taxes
are a debit employed to cover a debit .... (Hence THE CRY TO
BALANCE THE BUDGET!)
5. Later comes the time for conversions, but they
diminish the
payment of interest without covering the debt, and besides they
cannot be made without the consent of the lenders; on announcing
a conversion a proposal is made to return the money to those who
are not willing to convert their paper. If everybody expressed
his unwillingness and demanded his money back, the government
would be hoist on their own petard and would be found insolvent
and unable to pay the proposed sums. By good luck the subjects of
the GOY governments, knowing nothing about financial affairs, have
always preferred losses on exchange and diminution of interest
to the risk of new investments of their moneys, and have thereby
many a time enabled these governments to throw off their shoulders
a debit of several millions.
6. Nowadays, with external loans, these tricks cannot be
played
by the GOYIM for they know that we shall demand all our moneys back.
7. In this way in acknowledged bankruptcy will best
prove to the
various countries the absence of any means between the interests of
the peoples and of those who rule them.
8. I beg you to concentrate your particular attention
upon this
point and upon the following: nowadays all internal loans are
consolidated by so-called flying loans, that is, such as have
terms of payment more or less near. These debts consist of moneys
paid into the savings banks and reserve funds. If left for long at
the disposition of a government these funds evaporate in the
payment of interest on foreign loans, and are placed by the deposit
of equivalent amount of RENTS.
9. And these last it is which patch up all the leaks in
the
State treasuries of the GOYIM.
10. When we ascend the throne of the world all these
financial
and similar shifts, as being not in accord with our interests, will
be swept away so as not to leave a trace, as also will be destroyed
all money markets, since we shall not allow the prestige of our
power to be shaken by fluctuations of prices set upon our values,
which we shall announce by law at the price which represents their
full worth without any possibility of lowering or raising. (Raising
gives the pretext for lowering, which indeed was where we
made a beginning in relation to the values of the GOYIM).
11. We shall replace the money markets by grandiose
government
credit institutions, the object of which will be to fix the price
of industrial values in accordance with government views. These
institutions will be in a position to fling upon the market five
hundred millions of industrial paper in one day, or to buy up for
the same amount. In this way all industrial undertakings will come
into dependence upon us. You may imagine for yourselves what
immense power we shall thereby secure for ourselves ....
1 In all that has so far been reported by me to you, I
have endeavored to depict with care the secret of what is coming,
of what is past, and of what is going on now, rushing into the
flood of the great events coming already in the near future, the
secret of our relations to the GOYIM and of financial operations.
On this subject there remains still a little for me to add.
2. IN OUR HANDS IS THE GREATEST POWER OF OUR DAY -
GOLD: IN
TWO DAYS WE CAN PROCURE FROM OUR STOREHOUSES ANY QUANTITY WE MAY
PLEASE.
3. Surely there is no need to seek further proof that
our rule
is predestined by God? Surely we shall not fail with such wealth
to prove that all that evil which for so many centuries we have
had to commit has served at the end of ends the cause of true
well-being - the bringing of everything into order? Though it be
even by the exercise of some violence, yet all the same it will
be established. (The motto of the Freemasons - "Out of
Chaos, Order"). We shall contrive to prove that we are
benefactors who have restored to the rent and mangled earth the
true good and also freedom of the person, and therewith we shall
enable it to be enjoyed in peace and quiet, with proper dignity
of relations, on the condition, of course, of strict observance
of the laws established by us. We shall make plain therewith that
freedom does not consist in dissipation and in the right of
unbridled license any more than the dignity and force of a man do
not consist in the right of everyone to promulgate destructive
principles in the nature of freedom of conscience, equality and the
like, that freedom of the person in no wise consists in the right
to agitate oneself and others by abominable speeches before
disorderly mobs, and that true freedom consists in the inviolability
of the person who honorably and strictly observes all the laws of
life in common, that human dignity is wrapped up in consciousness
of the rights and also of the absence of rights of each, and not
wholly and solely in fantastic imaginings about the subject of
one's EGO.
4. One authority will be glorious because it will be
all-powerful, will rule and guide, and not muddle along after
leaders and orators shrieking themselves hoarse with senseless
words which they call great principles and which are nothing else,
to speak honestly, but utopian .... Our authority will be the
crown of order, and in that is included the whole happiness of
man. The aureole of this authority will inspire a mystical bowing
of the knee before it and a reverent fear before it of all the
peoples. True force makes no terms with any right, not even with
that of God: none dare come near to it so as to take so much as a
span from it away.
1. That the peoples may become accustomed to obedience
it is necessary to inculcate lessons of humility and therefore to
reduce the production of articles of luxury. By this we shall
improve morals which have been debased by emulation in the sphere
of luxury. We shall re-establish small master production which
will mean laying a mine under the private capital of manufactures.
This is indispensable also for the reason that manufacturers on the
grand scale often move, though not always consciously, the thoughts
of the masses in directions against the government. A people of
small masters knows nothing of unemployment and this binds him
closely with existing order, and consequently with the firmness of
authority. For us its part will have been played out the moment
authority is transferred into our hands. Drunkenness also will be
prohibited by law and punishable as a crime against the humanness of
man who is turned into a brute under the influence of alcohol.
2. Subjects, I repeat once more, give blind obedience
only to
the strong hand which is absolutely independent of them, for in it
they feel the sword of defense and support against social scourges
.... What do they want with an angelic spirit in a king? What they
have to see in him is the personification of force and power.
3. The supreme lord who will replace all now existing
rulers,
dragging in their existence among societies demoralized by us,
societies that have denied even the authority of God, from whose
midst breeds out on all sides the fire of anarchy, must first of
all proceed to quench this all-devouring flame. Therefore he will
be obliged to kill off those existing societies, though he should
drench them with his own blood, that he may resurrect them again in
the form of regularly organized troops fighting consciously with
every kind of infection that may cover the body of the State with
sores.
4. This Chosen One of God is chosen from above to
demolish the
senseless forces moved by instinct and not reason, by brutishness
and not humanness. These forces now triumph in manifestations of
robbery and every kind of violence under the mask of principles of
freedom and rights. They have overthrown all forms of social order
to erect on the ruins the throne of the King of the Jews; but their
part will be played out the moment he enters into his kingdom. Then
it will be necessary to sweep them away from his path, on which must
be left no knot, no splinter.
5. Then will it be possible for us to say to the peoples
of the
world: "Give thanks to God and bow the knee before him who bears on
his front the seal of the predestination of man, to which God
himself has led his star that none other but Him might free us from
all the before-mentioned forces and evils".
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.
Signed
by the representative of
Zion, of the 33rd Degree.
