The document known now as The Protocols of
the Learned Elders of Zion is one of the most important documents ever
to come to light in the world. In fact, it can be described as the blueprint
for the domination of the world by a secret brotherhood.
It is graphic in its contempt for those who will be
its victims, in its profound understanding of the human condition and mind; and
it is equally graphic in detailing the methodology it will use against, and
with the complicity of, the world's population, in such a way as to go
unrecognised by the vast majority of the participants.
The document has achieved fame and infamy in its
time.
Essentially, the accusations levelled against it
are that it is a fraud and a forgery. Some say it is a report of a genuine
conspiracy but has been blamed on the Jews in order to hide its true origins,
and that to believe it to be genuinely Judaic shows one to be 'anti-Semitic'.
This kind of black propaganda and emotional reaction arises quite naturally in
the course of events whenever any proof of the ancient conspiracy against
humanity is uncovered.
Despite a general misconception amongst certain
politically-aligned groups and ill-informed individuals - including Jews and
non-Jews alike - that the Protocols are a 'proven fraud', this is not the case,
as I will show.
The cry of 'anti-Semitic' is a standard one and
almost automatic from ill-informed, if often well-intentioned individuals who
have little background knowledge of the vast history and consciousness of the
perpetrators of the 'world revolution'. The majority of people remain
drastically unaware of the conspiracy because a vital aspect of the conspiracy
is to hide itself behind many walls of secrecy, as the following information
will show. Those that would call 'anti-semitism', or say 'there is no conspiracy',
are amongst the greatest victims of the very conspiracy they vehemently deny.
Someone who has lived in a box without windows for
their entire life might genuinely cry out 'there is no sun, it is a myth, a
vicious lie and anti-boxism'. There remains, however the unalterable fact that
there is a sun and those that point this out to the one in the box, in an
attempt to enlighten and free them from self-imposed ignorance, are not
automatically 'anti-boxists' or feel any sort of hatred towards boxes or those
who live in them at all.
Neither is the reporting of the following document
anti-Semitic.
It is a call to the attention of those who may have
been born into the current age of suppression and propaganda, and have yet to
recoup some of this information which until very recently was openly discussed
on a global scale. However, since the triumphs of Zionism and the further
implementation of mass mind / information control since the Second World War,
with regards to anything remotely Jewish, such information has been buried
through censorship and revision of history-books by the very power which
imposed the conspiracy in the first place. The Protocols make it quite clear
that 'anti-semitism', meaning 'anti-Judaic', is an 'indispensable' part of the
plan for world domination. It will be used for 'the management of our lesser
brethren'. This document makes chilling reading for both Jews and Gentiles
alike when one looks back to the treatment of Jewry during the Second World
War; that a self-appointed elite should be willing to sacrifice and allow the
persecution of their 'lesser brethren', for the greater aim of world
domination, should be a wake-up-call to all of Jewry, the vast majority of whom
constitute what the authors of the Protocols deem to be 'lesser brethren'.
'Anti-Semitic' is a phrase which means 'against
Semites' but has come to be used solely as meaning 'anti-Jewish'. The irony
inherent in this ill-used phrase is that the Semitic Arabs are actually amongst
the greatest victims in the crime and fraud known as Zionism, in which Russian
Jews, who are racially non-Semitic, in the first half of the Twentieth
Century, fostered and executed a plan (as prophesied by God through Ezekiel
11:15) to create an officially recognised Jewish homeland in Palestine. The
result of which was the mass displacement and persecution of the indigenous
Arab citizens. This is without doubt 'anti-semitism' at its worst. And yet to
state this plain fact openly today is to invite the accusation of being
'anti-Semitic'! I will also show in this work that the ordinary Jewish people,
unbeknownst to themselves, have been victims to the same ancient agenda and are
considered by the Elders to be necessary sacrifices to their cause. As the
British; American and other Anglo-Saxon and Celtic peoples are also descended
from Shem/Sem, they are also Semitic peoples. Therefore anyone who is
anti-British or anti-American is anti-Semitic, in the true definition of the
term. But, of course, as explained in the Protocols, it is the Jews who publish
the dictionaries and so they define the words according to their plan.
The main point pertinent to this work is that the
plan and execution of this agenda was predicted and detailed in the Protocols,
before the Zionist plan began to be put into action openly on the world stage.
More dramatically, however, the agenda outlined in the Protocols was
foreshadowed by over 2,000 years of similar documents, edicts and statements.
The document itself attributes the authorship of
these self-same conspiratorial Protocols to the highest echelons of world
Jewry. It would be madness to ignore the possibility that this document
is genuine and authored by those claimed, simply because certain people find it
offensive. Because if it is genuine, then people absolutely should find it
offensive! It is the greatest single betrayal of both Jews and Gentiles
imaginable. Even if it were not authored by a Jewish elite, the fact that world
Jewry have suffered along the very lines as predicted in the document, should
be enough for every Jew alive to give this document their full attention.
Both Communism and Zionism can be seen to be the
two means by which the Protocols unfolded during the early Twentieth Century.
Whilst Communism acted to tear down the Russian aristocratic system and replace
it with a tyranny and dictatorship led predominantly by Jews, placing a vast
area of territory and human resources into the hands of the conspirators,
Zionism used the false accusation of the need for the establishment of the
prophesied Jewish homeland to re-home the Eastern Jews who were being badly
persecuted in Russia at the time. In fact, as is shown by government documents
of the time, the accusation of mass anti-Semitism and pogroms in Russia at the
turn of the century (against Jews who are non-Semitic; being descendants of
Japheth, not Shem) is massively exaggerated. This was essentially a Press-led
propaganda tactic employed in the West to further the aims of Zionist interests
and to ease the passage of the masses of Eastern Jews who emigrated to the West
around the late 19th and early 20th Century. According to Zionist Rabbi Stephen
Wise, until 1900, American Zionism was confined to immigrant Jews (Khazar
Ashkenazim decended from Japheth, not Shem - Genesis 10:3), and the mass of
American Jews (mainly German 'Western' Sephardim) were opposed to it. However,
by 1910, a million Jewish immigrants had arrived in America from Russia and the
Zionist lobby began to represent a significant number of voters. Today, Jews
represent approximately 3% of the American population but occupy more or less
90% of all the key positions in the US-Administration. Just as in Russia
following the Bolshevik Revolution, the number of Jews numbered around 10% of
the population, whereas the number of Jews in the Bolshevik government was
approximately 90%.
Another interesting 'coincidence', President
Franklin Roosevelt (from a Jewish family) had seventy-two advisors around him
when he led the USA into World War II of whom fifty-two were known Jews. The
Elders of Zion consist of the Sanhedrin, the highest Jewish authority
since Biblical times, officially numbering 71, and the Judaic texts also reveal
the existence of a king, making 72. Whilst in Britain in 1999, the Labour
government admitted that it has 72 official 'advisors' or 'spin-doctors'
(professional-liars). Both Roosevelt and Blair have implemented social
'reforms' called the 'New Deal', which in the USA was also known by those in
the know as the 'Jew Deal'. Do we see here history repeating itself?
As the well tried and tested truism says: those who
refuse to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.
The British and American governments were
manipulated by the Zionists - against the overwhelming opposition of the
Western Jews and the Palestinian Jews and the majority of Gentiles - to commit
themselves to the creation of an official Jewish homeland in Palestine, which
had nothing to do with British national interest, at an enormous cost during a
time - the First World War - when all manpower and resources were desperately
needed to fight the enemy.
Why this should have occurred is against all logic.
However, the most revealing insight into the modus agendi and the modus
operandi of the world manipulators is acquired through reading the Protocols.
Not only does this document illuminate the reason
for the massive success of international Zionism, but it also provides profound
insight into every single political situation of the last century and sheds
great light on much of what has transpired for the past 2,600 years on the
world stage.
Stunningly, virtually everything planned for and
predicted in the Protocols has provably come to pass. This document is as
pertinent today as it was when it first came to light in 1905.
Recent world political history has been provably
controlled and manipulated by Russian Jews, who have no racial ties or
origin in the land of Palestine, who flocked to the West a century ago. That
century has provably unfolded according to the Protocols, which ascribe
themselves to the elite of world Jewry. The earliest Israelite holy works (The
Torah), right up to the latest (Jewish Talmud and Zohar) have continually
promised that the world would be delivered to the true Israelites and that the
Gentile nations would be consumed; grafted into and ruled by the single Chosen
People who would govern them. That this would be a 'coincidence', and the
Protocols a mere act of deceitful anti-semitism, has to be the grossest form of
ill-logic.
The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is a document
which should be read by all. No other single document provides us with such a clear understanding
of why the world is gradually moving towards a One World Government, controlled
by an irreproachable 'Hidden Hand'. In fact, in the Protocols, we are given
clear insights as to why so many incomprehensible political decisions are made
in both local, national and international politics, which seem to continually
work against the favour of the masses and in favour of the vested interests of
the banking / industrial cartel - the global power elite.
We ignore it at our peril.
Comments
in the following text related specifically to 'the Jews' which superficially
seem to implicate all Jews do not reflect my own attitude to this issue as I have
already established. However, these were the words of those individuals quoted
and of the publishers who presented the following document many decades ago,
and I hesitate to censor them.
This
document is meant to challenge hatred, racism and deceit, NOT ferment it.
In
the following presentation I have combined two methods of printing the
Protocols for ease of use. I have maintained the headings and kept the
introductory commentaries as provided by the Marsden translation of Nilus's
document. I have also used the method (as employed by Bible translators) of
numbering the paragraphs for ease of further referencing.
The author of this translation of the famous Protocols was
himself a victim of the Revolution. He had lived for many years in Russia and
was married to a Russian lady. Among his other activities in Russia he had been
for a number of years a Russian Correspondent of the MORNING POST, a position
which he occupied when the Revolution broke out, and his vivid descriptions of
events in Russia will still be in the recollection of many of the readers of
that Journal. Naturally he was singled out for the anger of the Soviet. On the
day that Captain Cromie was murdered by Jews, Victor Marsden was arrested and
thrown into the Peter-Paul Prison, expecting every day to have his name called
out for execution. This, however, he escaped, and eventually he was allowed to
return to England very much of a wreck in bodily health. However, he recovered
under treatment and the devoted care of his wife and friends. One of the first
things he undertook, as soon as he was able, was this translation of the
Protocols. Mr. Marsden was eminently well qualified for the work. His intimate
acquaintance with Russia, Russian life and the Russian language on the one
hand, and his mastery of a terse literary English style on the other, placed
him in a position of advantage which few others could claim. The consequence is
that we have in his version an eminently readable work, and though the
subject-matter is somewhat formless, Mr. Marsden's literary touch reveals the
thread running through the twenty-four Protocols.
It may be said with truth that this work was carried out at
the cost of Mr. Marsden's own life's blood. He told the writer of this Preface
that he could not stand more than an hour at a time of his work on it in the
British Museum, as the diabolical spirit of the matter which he was obliged to
turn into English made him positively ill.
Mr. Marsden's connection with the MORNING POST was not
severed by his return to England, and he was well enough to accept the post of
special correspondent of that journal in the suite of H.R.H., the Prince of
Wales on his Empire tour. From this he returned with the Prince, apparently in
much better health, but within a few days of his landing he was taken suddenly
ill, and died after a very brief illness.
May this work be his crowning monument! In it he has
performed an immense service to the English-speaking world, and there can be
little doubt that it will take its place in the first rank of the English
versions of "THE PROTOCOLS of the Meetings of the LEARNED ELDERS OF
ZION."
Of the Protocols themselves little need be said in the way
of introduction. The book in which they are embodied was published by Sergyei
Nilus in Russia in 1905. A copy of this is in the British Museum bearing the
date of its reception, August 10, 1906. All copies that were known to exist in
Russia were destroyed in the Kerensky regime, and under his successors the
possession of a copy by anyone in Soviet land was a crime sufficient to ensure
the owner's of being shot on sight. The fact is in itself sufficient proof of
the genuineness of the Protocols. The Jewish journals, of course, say that they
are a forgery, leaving it to be understood that Professor Nilus, who embodied
them in a work of his own, had concocted them for his own purposes.
Mr. Henry Ford, in an interview published in the New York
WORLD, February 17th, 1921, put the case for Nilus tersely and convincingly
thus:
"The only statement I care to make about the Protocols
is that they fit in with what is going on. They are sixteen years old, and they
have fitted the world situation up to this time. THEY FIT IT NOW."
Indeed they do!
The word "Protocol" signifies a précis gummed on
to the front of a document, a draft of a document, minutes of proceedings. In
this instance, "Protocol" means minutes of the proceedings of the
Meetings of the Learned Elders of Zion. These Protocols give the substance of
addresses delivered to the innermost circle of the Rulers of Zion. They reveal
the converted plan of action of the Jewish Nation developed through the ages
and edited by the Elders themselves up to date. Parts and summaries of the plan
have been published from time to time during the centuries as the secrets of
the Elders have leaked out. The claim of the Jews that the Protocols are
forgeries is in itself an admission of their genuineness, for they NEVER
ATTEMPT TO ANSWER THE FACTS corresponding to the THREATS which the Protocols contain,
and, indeed, the correspondence between prophecy and fulfilment is too glaring
to be set aside or obscured. This the Jews well know and therefore evade.
The presumption is strong that the Protocols were issued, or
reissued, at the First Zionist Congress held at Basle in 1897 under the
presidency of the Father of Modern Zionism, the late Theodore Herzl.
There has been recently published a volume of Herzl's
"Diaries," a translation of some passages which appeared in the
JEWISH CHRONICLE of July 14, 1922. Herzl gives an account of his first visit to
England in 1895, and his conversation with Colonel Goldsmid, a Jew brought up
as a Christian, an officer in the English Army, and at heart a Jew Nationalist
all the time. Goldsmid suggested to Herzl that the best way of expropriating
the English aristocracy, and so destroying their power to protect the people of
England against Jew domination, was to put excessive taxes on the land. Herzl
thought this an excellent idea, and it is now to be found definitely embodied
in Protocol VI!
The above extract from Herzl's diary is an extremely
significant bit of evidence bearing on the existence of the Jew World Plot and
authenticity of the Protocols, but any reader of intelligence will be able;
from his own knowledge of recent history and from his own experience; to
confirm the genuineness of every line of them, and it is in the light of this
living comment that all readers are invited to study Mr. Marsden's translation
of this terribly inhuman document.
And here is another very significant circumstance. The
present successor of Herzl, as leader of the Zionist movement, Dr. Weizmann,
quoted one of these sayings at the send-off banquet given to Chief Rabbi Hertz
on October 6, 1920. The Chief Rabbi was on the point of leaving for HIS Empire
tour with H.R.H., the Prince of Wales. And this is the "saying" of
the Sages which Dr. Weizmann quoted: "A beneficent protection which God
has instituted in the life of the Jew is that He has dispersed him all over the
world." (JEWISH GUARDIAN, Oct. 8, 1920.)
Now compare this with the last clause of but one of Protocol
XI.
"God has granted to us, His Chosen People, the gift of
dispersion, and from this, which appears to all eyes to be our weakness, has come
forth all our strength, which has now brought us to the threshold of
sovereignty over all the world."
The remarkable correspondence between these passages proves
several things. It proves that the Learned Elders exist. It proves that Dr.
Weizmann knows all about them. It proves that the desire for a "National
Home" in Palestine is only camouflage and an infinitesimal part of the
Jew's real object. It proves that the Jews of the world have no intention of
settling in Palestine or any separate country, and that their annual prayer
that they may all meet "Next Year in Jerusalem" is merely a piece of
their characteristic make-believe. It also demonstrates that the Jews are now a
world menace, and that the Aryan races will have to domicile them permanently out
of Europe.
This is a secret which has not been revealed. They are the
Hidden Hand. They are not the "Board of Deputies" (the Jewish
Parliament in England) or the "Universal Israelite Alliance" which
sits in Paris. But the late Walter Rathenau of the Allgemeiner Electricitaets
Gesellschaft has thrown a little light on the subject and doubtless he was in
possession of their names, being, in all likelihood, one of the chief leaders
himself. Writing in the WIENER FREIE PRESSE, December 24, 1912, he said:
"Three hundred men, each of whom knows all the others,
govern the fate of the European continent, and they elect their successors from
their entourage."
In the year 1844, on the eve of the Jewish Revolution of
1848, Benjamin Disraeli, whose real name was Israel, and who was a
"damped," or baptised Jew, published his novel, 'Coningsby', in which
occurs this ominous passage:
"The world is governed by very different personages
from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes."
And he went on to show that these personages were all Jews.
Now that Providence has brought to the light of day these
secret Protocols all men may clearly see the hidden personages specified by
Disraeli at work "behind the scenes" of all the Governments. This
revelation entails on all white peoples the grave responsibility of examining
and revising au fond their attitude towards the Race and Nation which boasts of
its survival over all Empires.
— The term goyim
The term "Goyim," meaning Gentile or non-Jews, is
used throughout the Protocols and is retained by Mr. Marsden.
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 terrorization, 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; after
words - 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 of 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.
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 irretrievable 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.
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.
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.
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 GOYA States. As you will see later,
this helped us to our triumph: it gave us the possibility, among other things,
of getting into our hands the master card - the destruction of the privileges,
or in other words of the very existence of the aristocracy of the GOYIM, that
class which was the only defense peoples and countries had against us. On the
ruins of the eternal and genealogical aristocracy of the GOYIM we have set up
the aristocracy of our educated class headed by the aristocracy of money. The
qualifications for this aristocracy we have established in wealth, which is
dependent upon us, and in knowledge, for which our learned elders provide the
motive force.
27. Our triumph has been rendered
easier by the fact that in our relations with the men, whom we wanted, we have
always worked upon the most sensitive chords of the human mind, upon the cash
account, upon the cupidity, upon the insatiability for material needs of man;
and each one of these human weaknesses, taken alone, is sufficient to paralyze
initiative, for it hands over the will of men to the disposition of him who has
bought their activities.
28. The abstraction of freedom has
enabled us to persuade the mob in all countries that their government is
nothing but the steward of the people who are the owners of the country, and
that the steward may be replaced like a worn-out glove.
29. It is this possibility of
replacing the representatives of the people which has placed at our disposal,
and, as it were, given us the power of appointment.
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.
3. Do not suppose for a moment that
these statements are empty words: think carefully of the successes we arranged
for Darwinism, Marxism, Nietzsche-ism. To us Jews, at any rate, it should be
plain to see what a disintegrating importance these directives have had upon
the minds of the GOYIM.
4. It is indispensable for us to
take account of the thoughts, characters, tendencies of the nations in order to
avoid making slips in the political and in the direction of administrative
affairs. The triumph of our system of which the component parts of the
machinery may be variously disposed according to the temperament of the peoples
met on our way, will fail of success if the practical application of it be not
based upon a summing up of the lessons of the past in the light of the present.
5. In the hands of the States of
to-day there is a great force that creates the movement of thought in the
people, and that is the Press. The part played by the Press is to keep pointing
our requirements supposed to be indispensable, to give voice to the complaints
of the people, to express and to create discontent. It is in the Press that the
triumph of freedom of speech finds its incarnation. But the GOYIM States have
not known how to make use of this force; and it has fallen into our hands.
Through the Press we have gained the power to influence while remaining
ourselves in the shade; thanks to the Press we have got the GOLD in our hands,
notwithstanding that we have had to gather it out of the oceans of blood and
tears. But it has paid us, though we have sacrificed many of our people. Each
victim on our side is worth in the sight of God a thousand GOYIM.
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.
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.
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 "false-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.
11. THIS HATRED WILL BE STILL
FURTHER MAGNIFIED BY THE EFFECTS of an ECONOMIC CRISES, which will stop dealing
on the exchanges and bring industry to a standstill. We shall create by all the
secret subterranean methods open to us and with the aid of gold, which is all
in our hands, A UNIVERSAL ECONOMIC CRISES WHEREBY WE SHALL THROW UPON THE
STREETS WHOLE MOBS OF WORKERS SIMULTANEOUSLY IN ALL THE COUNTRIES OF EUROPE.
These mobs will rush delightedly to shed the blood of those whom, in the
simplicity of their ignorance, they have envied from their cradles, and whose
property they will then be able to loot.
12 "OURS" THEY WILL NOT
TOUCH, BECAUSE THE MOMENT OF ATTACK WILL BE KNOWN TO US AND WE SHALL TAKE
MEASURES TO PROTECT OUR OWN.
13. We have demonstrated that
progress will bring all the GOYIM to the sovereignty of reason. Our despotism
will be precisely that; for it will know how, by wise severities, to pacificate
all unrest, to cauterize liberalism out of all institutions.
14. When the populace has seen that
all sorts of concessions and indulgences are yielded it, in the same name of
freedom it has imagined itself to be sovereign lord and has stormed its way to
power, but, naturally like every other blind man, it has come upon a host of
stumbling blocks. IT HAS RUSHED TO FIND A GUIDE, IT HAS NEVER HAD THE SENSE TO
RETURN TO THE FORMER STATE and it has laid down its plenipotentiary powers at OUR
feet. Remember the French Revolution, to which it was we who gave the name of "Great":
the secrets of its preparations are well known to us for it was wholly the work
of our hands.
15 Ever since that time we have been
leading the peoples from one disenchantment to another, so that in the end they
should turn also from us in favor of that KING-DESPOT OF THE BLOOD OF ZION,
WHOM WE ARE PREPARING FOR THE WORLD.
16. At the present day we are, as an
international force, invincible, because if attacked by some we are supported
by other States. It is the bottomless rascality of the GOYIM peoples, who crawl
on their bellies to force, but are merciless towards weakness, unsparing to
faults and indulgent to crimes, unwilling to bear the contradictions of a free
social system but patient unto martyrdom under the violence of a bold despotism
- it is those qualities which are aiding us to independence. From the premier-
dictators of the present day, the GOYIM peoples suffer patiently and bear such
abuses as for the least of them they would have beheaded twenty kings.
17. What is the explanation of this
phenomenon, this curious inconsequence of the masses of the peoples in their
attitude towards what would appear to be events of the same order?
18. It is explained by the fact that
these dictators whisper to the peoples through their agents that through these
abuses they are inflicting injury on the States with the highest purpose - to
secure the welfare of the peoples, the international brotherhood of them all,
their solidarity and equality of rights. Naturally they do not tell the peoples
that this unification must be accomplished only under our sovereign rule.
19. And thus the people condemn the
upright and acquit the guilty, persuaded ever more and more that it can do whatsoever
it wishes. Thanks to this state of things, the people are destroying every kind
of stability and creating disorders at every step.
20. The word "freedom"
brings out the communities of men to fight against every kind of force, against
every kind of authority even against God and the laws of nature. For this
reason we, when we come into our kingdom, shall have to erase this word from
the lexicon of life as implying a principle of brute force which turns mobs
into bloodthirsty beasts.
21. These beasts, it is true, fall
asleep again every time when they have drunk their fill of blood, and at such
time can easily be riveted into their chains. But if they be not given blood
they will not sleep and continue to struggle.
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.
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 is 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.
4. Moreover, the art of directing
masses and individuals by means of cleverly manipulated theory and verbitage, 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.
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 (One
World Order). 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.
1. We shall soon begin to establish
huge monopolies, reservoirs of colossal riches, upon which even, large fortunes
of the GOYIM will depend to such an extent that they will go to the bottom
together with the credit of the States on the day after the political smash ...
2. You gentlemen here present who
are economists, just strike an estimate of the significance of this
combination! ...
3. In every possible way we must
develop the significance of our Super-Government by representing it as the
Protector and Benefactor of all those who voluntarily submit to us.
4. The aristocracy of the GOYIM as a
political force, is dead - We need not take it into account; but as landed
proprietors they can still be harmful to us from the fact that they are
self-sufficing in the resources upon which they live. It is essential therefore
for us at whatever cost to deprive them of their land. This object will be best
attained by increasing the burdens upon landed property - in loading lands with
debts. These measures will check land- holding and keep it in a state of humble
and un-conditional submission.
5. The aristocrats of the GOYIM,
being hereditarily incapable of contenting themselves with little, will rapidly
burn up and fizzle out.
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 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.
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.
1. We must arm ourselves with all
the weapons which our opponents might employ against us. We must search out in
the very finest shades of expression and the knotty points of the lexicon of
law justification for those cases where we shall have to pronounce judgments
that might appear abnormally audacious and unjust, for it is important that
these resolutions should be set forth in expressions that shall seem to be the
most exalted moral principles cast into legal form. Our directorate must
surround itself with all these forces of civilization among which it will have
to work. It will surround itself with publicists, practical jurists,
administrators, diplomats and, finally, with persons prepared by a special super-educational
training IN OUR SPECIAL SCHOOLS (Rhode Scholers?). These persons will
have consonance of all the secrets of the social structure, they will know all
the languages that can be made up by political alphabets and words; they will
be made acquainted with the whole underside of human nature, with all its
sensitive chords on which they will have to play. These chords are the cast of
mind of the GOYIM, their tendencies, short-comings, vices and qualities, the
particularities of classes and conditions. Needless to say that the talented
assistants of authority, of whom I speak, will be taken not from among the
GOYIM, who are accustomed to perform their administrative work without giving
themselves the trouble to think what its aim is, and never consider what it is
needed for. The administrators of the GOYIM sign papers without reading them,
and they serve either for mercenary reasons or from ambition.
2. We shall surround our government
with a whole world of economists. That is the reason why economic sciences form
the principal subject of the teaching given to the Jews. Around us again will
be a whole constellation of bankers, industrialists, capitalists and - THE MAIN
THING - MILLIONAIRES, BECAUSE IN SUBSTANCE EVERYTHING WILL BE SETTLED BY THE
QUESTION OF FIGURES.
3. For a time, until there will no
longer be any risk in entrusting responsible posts in our State to our
brother-Jews, we shall put them in the hands of persons whose past and
reputation are such that between them and the people lies an abyss, persons
who, in case of disobedience to our instructions, must face criminal charges or
disappear - this in order to make them defend our interests to their last gasp.
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.
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
(European Common Market??).
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.
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!" ...
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.
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
"TALKERICS" 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.
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? ...
Please note the presidential
campaign 2000. The perfect deadlock. The gridlock of the senate and congress.
The cry for democracy of the masses. The cry that every vote to count. The cry
to destroy the constitutional electorate college vote.
13. In order that our scheme may
produce this result we shall arrange elections in favor of such presidents as
have in their past some dark, undiscovered stain, some "Panama"
or other - then they will be trustworthy agents for the accomplishment of our
plans out of fear of revelations and from the natural desire of everyone who
has attained power, namely, the retention of the privileges, advantages and
honor connected with the office of president. The chamber of deputies will
provide cover for, will protect, will elect presidents, but we shall take from
it the right to propose new, or make changes in existing laws, for this right
will be given by us to the responsible president, a puppet in our hands.
Naturally, the authority of the presidents will then become a target for every
possible form of attack, but we shall provide him with a means of self-defense
in the right of an appeal to the people, for the decision of the people over
the heads of their representatives, that is to say, an appeal to that some
blind slave of ours - the majority of the mob. Independently of this we shall
invest the president with the right of declaring a state of war. We shall
justify this last right on the ground that the president as chief of the whole
army of the country must have it at his disposal, in case of need for the
defense of the new republican constitution, the right to defend which will
belong to him as the responsible representative of this constitution.
14. It is easy to understand them 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, upon the responsibility established by use 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.
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.
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 law on it a special
stamp tax and require deposits of caution-money before permitting the
establishment of any organ of the press or of printing offices; these will then
have to guarantee our government against any kind of attack on the part of the
press. For any attempt to attack us, if such still be possible, we shall
inflict fines without mercy. Such measures as stamp tax, deposit of
caution-money and fines secured by these deposits, will bring in a huge income
to the government. It is true that party organs might not spare money for the
sake of publicity, but these we shall shut up at the second attack upon us. No
one shall with impunity lay a finger on the aureole of our government
infallibility. The pretext for stopping any publication will be the alleged
plea that it is agitating the public mind without occasion or justification. I
BEG YOU TO NOTE THAT AMONG THOSE MAKING ATTACKS UPON US WILL ALSO BE ORGANS
ESTABLISHED BY US, BUT THEY WILL ATTACK EXCLUSIVELY POINTS THAT WE HAVE
PRE-DETERMINED TO ALTER.
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 ....
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 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, off position, 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.
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 forces the
GOYIM to keep silence and be our humble servants. Agents taken on to our press
from among the GOYIM will at our orders discuss anything which it is
inconvenient for us to issue directly in official documents, and we meanwhile,
quietly amid the din of the discussion so raised, shall simply take and carry
through such measures as we wish and then offer them to the public as an
accomplished fact. No one will dare to demand the abrogation of a matter once
settled, all the more so as it will be represented as an improvement ... And
immediately the press will distract the current of thought towards, new
questions, (have we not trained people always to be seeking something new?).
Into the discussions of these new questions will throw themselves those of the
brainless dispensers of fortunes who are not able even now to understand that
they have not the remotest conception about the matters which they undertake to
discuss. Questions of the political are unattainable for any save those who
have guided it already for many ages, the creators.
2. From all this you will see that
in seeming the opinion of the mob we are only facilitating the working of our
machinery, and you may remark that it is not for actions but for words issued
by us on this or that question that we seem to seek approval. We are constantly
making public declaration that we are guided in all our undertakings by the
hoope, joined to the conviction, that we are serving the common weal.
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 dis- accustomed to reflect and
form any opinions of their own, people will begin to talk in the same tone as
we because we alone shall be offering them new directions for thought ... of
course through such persons as will not be suspected of solidarity with us.
4. The part played by the liberals,
utopian dreamers, will be finally played out when our government is
acknowledged. Till such time they will continue to do us good service.
Therefore we shall continue to direct their minds to all sorts of vain
conceptions of fantastic theories, new and apparently progressive: for have we
not with complete success turned the brainless heads of the GOYIM with
progress, till there is not among the GOYIM one mind able to perceive that
under this word lies a departure from truth in all cases where it is not a
question of material inventions, like a fallacious idea, serves to obscure
truth so that none may know it except us, the Chosen of God, its guardians.
5. When, we come into our kingdom
our orators will expound great problems which have turned humanity upside down
in order to bring it at the end under our beneficent rule.
6. Who will ever suspect then that
ALL THESE PEOPLES WERE STAGE-MANAGED BY US ACCORDING TO A POLITICAL PLAN WHICH
NO ONE HAS SO MUCH AS GUESSED AT IN THE COURSE OF MANY CENTURIES?
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.
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) 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.
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 ....
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 nigh 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.
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
unquestioningly 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.
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 interest of authority, principle and
law, which do not permit that any of those who hold the reins of the public
coach should turn aside from the public highway to their own private paths. FOR
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
educationally 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.
18. Our absolutism will in all
things be logically consecutive and therefore in each one of its decrees our
supreme will be respected and unquestionably fulfilled: it will ignore all murmurs,
all discontents of every kind and will destroy to the root every kind of
manifestation of them in act by punishment of an exemplary character.
19. We shall abolish the right of
cessation, which will be transferred exclusively to our disposal - to the
cognizance of him who rules, for we must not allow the conception among the
people of a thought that there could be such a thing as a decision that is not
right of judges set up by us. If, however, anything like this should occur, we
shall ourselves cassate the decision, but inflict therewith such exemplary
punishment on the judge for lack of understanding of his duty and the purpose
of his appointment as will prevent a repetition of such cases .... I repeat
that it must be 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 inter-relation as subjects one
with another, as well as their relations to the ruler. They will then be so
thoroughly imbued with the thought that it is impossible for them to dispense
with 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.
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 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 litigant; they well 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 .....
2. WE HAVE LONG PAST TAKEN CARE TO
DISCREDIT THE PRIESTHOOD OF "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 act 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 (Antichrist??).
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 ....
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
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 KABAL APOSTATES OF THEIR OWN
FAMILY or members who have been noticed doing anything in opposition to the
KABAL, SO IN OUR KINGDOM OVER ALL THE WORLD IT WILL BE OBLIGATORY FOR ALL OUR
SUBJECTS TO OBSERVE THE DUTY OF SERVICE TO THE STATE IN THIS DIRECTION.
10. Such an organization will
extirpate abuses of authority, of force, of bribery, everything in fact which
we by our counsels, by out 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.
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 ....
2. As the majority of conspirators
act 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 SECRETE 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.
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 is 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 of 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.
5. The tax upon the poor man is a
seed of revolution and works to the detriment of the State which is 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.
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 blind 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 of 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
producer 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.
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 our 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 of our bankers. Foreign loans are leeches which there is no possibility of
removing from the body of the State until they fall off of themselves or the
State flings them off. But the GOY States 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.
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 wealth
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 person in order to transfer loans
into the external sphere, all the wealth of States flowed into our cash- boxes
and all the GOYIM began to pay us the tribute of subjects.
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
will find no difficulty in paying interest out of profits, whereas the State
does not make interest on borrowed money like these companies, for the State
borrows to spend and not to use in operations. (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. 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 economics
and improvements were foreseen .... Economics 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 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.
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 hooked on their own files
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 interest 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. 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 a 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 noting 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
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 ruler, dragging in their existence among societies demoralized
by us, societies that have denied even the authority of God, from whose midst
breads 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 humanness. These forces now triumph in manifestations of
robbery and every kind of violence under the mask of principles of freedom 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 of 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.
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 irreproachable.
