WORLD CONQUEST 
   THROUGH WORLD GOVERNMENT

   The PROTOCOLS 
   of The LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION


         Translated from the Russian of Sergyei A. Nilus
                   by  VICTOR E. MARSDEN

        The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion has become a 
   best seller among political books published this century.
   
        Having been translated into every language since it was 
   first brought to light in 1919 and having reached over a million 
   sales in the English edition alone, this remarkable set of docu-
   ments is in greater demand than ever today.
   
        The years have shown that every great world event has fol-
   lowed the course laid down by the secret authors of this book.  
   Wars, slumps, revolutions, the rise in the cost of living and 
   chronic unrest are all foretold as leading to the ultimate goal 
   of World Conquest through the "back-door" means of first estab-
   lishing World Government "by consent."
   
        The thoughtful reader must reject the view, once held by 
   some people, that the Protocols originated as an imaginative work 
   of miraculous accuracy.  The only rational view seems to be that 
   the Protocols must be taken on their face value as a detailed 
   plan of action, aiming at nothing other than the goal they them-
   selves set forth.  This goal is a World State which the nations 
   are being urged by their leaders to accept as "the only alterna-
   tive to annihilation."  This is the choice which our politicians 
   are offering us today.
   
        The eighty-first impression of the Marsden translation was 
   presented under the new title World Conquest through World Gov-
   ernment because the publishers believed that the ultimate con-
   quest foretold in this terrible plan is nearing its final stages.

        "Whence come this uncanny note of prophecy, prophecy in part 
   fulfilled, in parts far gone in the way of fulfillment?  Have we 
   been struggling these tragic years to ... extirpate the secret

   another, more dangerous because more secret?  Have we ... escaped 
   a Pax Germanica only to fall into a Pax Judaeica?

                                INTRODUCTION
   
        The Protocols of the Learned Elders of ZION may be briefly 
   described as a blueprint for the domination of the world by a 
   secret brotherhood.  Whatever may be the truth about their au-
   thorship - and, as will be shown, this has been the subject of 
   bitter dispute - there can be no doubt that the world society to 
   which they look forward is nothing more or less that a world 
   police state.
   
        The book is which the Protocols were first embodied was 
        published by Professor Sergyei A. Nilus in Russia in 1905, a 
        copy being received in the British Museum on August 10th, 
        1906, Professor Nilus's concern was to expose that he be-
        lieved to be a ruthless, cold-blooded conspiracy for the 
        destruction of Christian CIVILIZATION.  Early, in August and 
        September of 1903, the Russian newspaper SNAMIA had pub-
        lished the Protocols, and they are also believed to have 
        been published in the winter of 1902/1903 in the newspaper 
        MOSKOWSKIJA WIEDOMOSTI.  They remained unknown outside 
        Russia, however, until after the Bolshevik Revolution, when 
        Russian emigrants brought Nilus's book to North America and 
        Germany.
   
        The similarity between what was forecast in the Protocols 
   and the fate which had befallen Russia under the Bolsheviks was 
   so marked that, after these long years of neglect, they rapidly 
   became one of the most famous (or notorious) documents in the 
   world.
   
        In Bolshevik Russia, the penalty for their mere possession 
   was death.  It remains so to this day, both in the Soviet Union 
   and in the Satellite countries.  Outside the Iron Curtain, in 
   South Africa possession of the Protocols is also forbidden by 
   law, although the penalty is less drastic.
   
        As a result of their rapidly growing fame, numerous attempts 
   were made to discredit the Protocols as a forgery.  But it was 
   not until 1933 that the JEWS resorted to legal action.  On 26th 
   June, 1933, the FEDERATION of JEWISH COMMUNITY brought an action 
   against five members of the Swiss National Front, seeking a 
   judgment that the Protocols were a forgery and a prohibition of 
   their publication.  The procedure of the Court was astounding, 
   the provisions of the Swiss Civil Code being deliberately set 
   aside.  Sixteen witnesses called by the plaintiffs were heard, 
   but only one of the forty witnesses called by the defendants was 
   allowed a hearing.  The judge allowed the plaintiffs to appoint 
   two private stenographers to keep the register of proceedings 
   during the hearing of their witnesses, instead of entrusting the 
   task to a Court official.
   
        In view of these and similar irregularities, it was not 
   surprising that, after the case had lasted just on two years, the 
   Court pronounced the Protocols to be a forgery and demoralizing 
   literature.  The decision was given on 14th May, 1935, but it was 
   announced in the JEWISH PRESS before it was delivered by the 
   Court!

        On 1st November, 1937, the Swiss Court of Criminal Appeal 
   quashed this judgment in its entirety.  JEWISH PROPAGANDISTS, 
   however, still declare that the Protocols have been "proved" to 
   be a forgery.
   
        It is natural that the JEWS should try to discredit the 
   Protocols, for their growing fame was focusing more public atten-
   tion on other revealing utterances.
   
        In Disraeli's THE LIFE OF LORD GEORGE BENTINCK, written in 
   1852, there occurs this quotation: -
   
             "The influence of the JEWS may be traced in the last 
   outbreak of the destructive principle in Europe.  An insurrection 
   takes place against tradition and aristocracy, against religion 
   and property.  Destruction of the Semitic principles, extirpation 
   of the JEWISH RELIGION, whether in the Mosaic or the CHRISTIAN 
   form the natural equality of men and the abrogation of property 
   are proclaimed by the Secret Societies which form Provisional 
   Governments and men of the JEWISH RACE are found at the head of 
   every one of them.  The people of God cooperate with atheists; 
   the most skillful accumulators of property ally themselves with 
   Communists; the peculiar and chosen Race touch the hand of all 
   the scum and low castes of Europe; and all this because they wish 
   to destroy that ungrateful Christendom which owes to them its 
   name, and whose tyranny they can no longer endure."
   
        Max Norday, a JEW, speaking at the ZIONIST CONGRESS at Basel 
   in  August 1903, made this astonishing "prophecy":
   
             "Let me tell you the following words as if I  were 
        shoeing you the rungs of a ladder leading upward and upward: 
        Herzl, the ZIONIST CONGRESS, the English Uganda proposition, 
        the future world war, the peace conference, where with the 
        help of England a free and JEWISH PALESTINE will be  creat-
        ed."
   
        Walter Rathenau, the JEWISH BANKER behind the Kaiser, writ-
   ing in the German WIENER FREIE PRESSE, December 24, 1912, said:
   
             "Three hundred men, each of who knows all the others, 
        govern the fate of the European continent, and they elect 
        their successor from their entourage."
   
        Confirmation of Rathenau's statement came twenty years later 
   in 1931 when Jean Izoulet, a prominent member of the JEWISH 
   ALLIANCE ISRAELITE UNIVERSELLE, wrote in his PARIS LA CAPITALAE 
   DES RELIGIONS:
   
             "The meaning of the history of the last century is that 
        today 300 JEWISH FINANCIER, all Masters of Lodges, rule the 
        world."
   
        The LONDON JEWISH CHRONICLE, on April 4th, 1919, declared:
   
             "There is much in the fact of Bolshevism itself, in the 
        fact that so many JEWS are BOLSHEVISTS, in the fact that the 
        ideals of Bolshevism at many points are consonant with the 
        finest ideals of Judaism."
   
   and on March 15th, 1923, the JEWISH WORLD asserted:

             "Fundamentally JUDAISM is ANTI-CHRISTIAN."
   
        These and many similar assertions from JEWISH sources were 
   damaging enough  from the JEWISH point of view.  Taken in con-
   junction with the Protocols, with which more and more people were 
   becoming familiar, they were damning.
   
        The attitude of many people whose concern over the growing 
   attack on CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION was rapidly increasing was 
   summed up by the late Henry Ford senior, the founder of the 
   world-famous motor manufacturing company.  In an interview pub-
   lished in the New York World on February 17th, 1921, Mr.  Ford 
   declared:
   
             "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 have fitted the world situation up to this 
        time.  THEY FIT IT NOW."
   
        Those who, like Henry Ford, could see that "they fit it now" 
   only sixteen years after Nilus's first publication of the Proto-
   cols, naturally tended to concentrate their attention on the 
   relatively recent phenomenon of Bolshevism.  Few of them the 
   understood the equally dangerous, if more insidious, danger of 
   internationalism.
   
        Now, however, more than half a century after Nilus's publi-
   cation of the Protocols, the reality of that danger must be 
   crystal clear to anybody who views the world situation objectively.
   
        The Protocols are full of references to a "Super-
   Government," PROTOCOL VI, for example, states:
   
             "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."
    
        That is exactly the way in which the United Nations special 
   agencies - UNESCO (U.N.  Educational, Scientific and Cultural 
   Organization); ILO (International Labour Organization); WHO 
   (World Health Organization); FAO (Food and Agriculture Organiza-
   tion); Commission of Human Rights; Genocide Convention, etc.  - 
   are represented.
   
        For some years there has been in existence an international 
   organization calling itself the World Association of Parliamen-
   tarians for World Government, which pursues the same objective as 
   that of another long-established international organization, 
   Federal Union.  This body does not disuse the fact that the 
   United Nations, by means of a few relatively minor changes in its 
   Charter, could be transformed virtually over night into a World 
   Government.
   
        There has long been agitation for the creation of a World 
   Police Force.  This would enable the United Nations Super-Govern-
   ment to function as a master of an all-powerful World Police 
   State, and the closing years of the 1950's have seen the agita-
   tors for a World Police Force come close to achieving their 
   objective.  The U.N.  Emergency Force, established after the Suez 
   crisis of 1956, has been openly regarded as a "pilot scheme."

        Should the few changes in the Charter necessary to transform 
   the U.N.  into a Super-Government be made, it will have in the 
   special agencies ready made Ministries of Education (or Propagan-
   da), Labor, Health, Food and Agriculture, "Justice", etc.
   
        Can it be an accident that these things are so accurately 
   for-shadowed in the Protocols?
   
        The full-scale World Super-Government is not the only, nor 
   perhaps the most immediate, danger.  It is obvious to everyone 
   that the nations of the East are being herded into subjection 
   under the dominance of the Soviet Union.  But what of the nations 
   of the West? Are they really the "free nations" which they are 
   popularly supposed to be?
   
        Far from it! They are being herded into that same sort of 
   pen as are the nations of the East under Communism.  Late in 
   1957, the process had gone for enough to be given an official 
   name.  That name was the policy of inter-dependence."
   
        The nations of the West are being brought under internation-
   al control at political, military and economic levels.  They are 
   rapidly in process of becoming controlled also on the social 
   level.  All alike are being told that their only hope lies in the 
   surrender of national sovereignty.
   
        National Parliaments must give way to such bodies as the 
   Council of Europe or the Atlantic Council.  National Forces must 
   be submerged in such bodies as the North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
   zation (NATO), the Baghdad Pact or the South-East Treaty Organi-
   zation (SEATO), so that no nation has control over its own means 
   of defense.  National economies must be submerged in such bodies 
   as the Organization for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC), the 
   European Payments Union (EPU) or the World Bank, so that no 
   nation may control its own economic destiny.
   
        Even on the social level, individual national distinctions 
   must disappear.  For example, under the "Common Market" Treaty 
   which unites six European nations on the economic plane, provi-
   sion is made for the "equalization of social policies."  And 
   strenuous efforts have been made to herd other European nations, 
   Great Britain among them, into this same pen in the associated 
   European Free Trade Area.
   
        In 1934, when the leader of the British Labor Party (Mr.  
   Clement Attlee) told the party's annual conference:
   
             "We are deliberately putting loyalty to a world order 
        above loyalty to our own country," he was widely execrated.
   
        Twenty-three years of propaganda, however, leave their mark, 
   and when, in 1957, a Conservative Prime Minister of Britain told 
   the British people that they must surrender some of their nation-
   al sovereignty to an unknown international cabal, scarcely a 
   voice was raise in protest.  At the close of 1957 there was an 
   official declaration of the British Government's support for the 
   plan which was foreshadowed in the Protocols over sixty years 
   ago.  The Earl of Gosford, Joint Under-Secretary of State for 
   Foreign Affairs, said in the House of Lords on 7th November, 
   1957:
   
             "Her Majesty's Government are fully in agreement with 
        World Government.  We agree that this must be the goal, and 
        that every step that is humanly possible must be taken to 
        reach that goal."
   
        All over the world "federation", "integration", "regionali-
   zation" and "inter-dependence" are the order of the day.  All 
   this is foreshadowed in the Protocols, published more than 
   half-a-century ago by Sergyei Nilus, which, we are told are 
   forgery.
   
        Can this be coincidence? Could any forger be so prescient?
   
        Or are the Protocols what Nilus and many others believed 
   them to be - the blueprint for a conspiracy to destroy CHRISTIAN 
   CIVILIZATION and place the whole world under the domination of a 
   small, secret cabal?
   
   
                                 NOTES
   
                  I - "AGENTURE" and "THE POLITICAL"
   
        There are two words in this translation which are unusual, 
   the words "Agentur" and "political" used as substantives.  
   "Agentur" appears to be adopted from the original test and it 
   means the whole body of agents and agencies directed by the 
   Elders, whether members of the tribe or their GENTILE tools.
   
        By "the Political" is meant not exactly the "body politic" 
   but the entire machinery of politics.

1. II – The Symbolic Snake of Judaism

   

   Chapter III opens with a reference to the symbolic Snake of
   Judaism. In his Epilogue to the 1905 Edition of the Protocols
   Nilus gives the following interesting account of this symbol:

   According to the records of secret JEWISH ZIONISM, Solomon
   and other JEWISH learned men had already, in 929 B.C., thought
   out a theoretical scheme for the peaceful conquest of the whole
   universe by ZION.

   As history developed, this scheme was worked out in detail
   and completed by men who were subsequently initiated in this
   question. The learned men decided by peaceful means to conquer
   the world for ZION with the slyness of the Symbolic Snake, whose
   head was to represent those who have been initiated into the
   plans of the JEWISH PEOPLE – the administration was always kept
   secret, even from the JEWISH NATION itself. As this Snake pene-
   trated into the hearts of the nations which it encountered it
   undermined and devoured all the NON-JEWISH power of these States.
   It is foretold that the Snake has sill to finish its work,
   strictly adhering to the designed plan, until the course which it
   has to run is closed by the return of its head to ZION and until,
   by this means, the Snake has completed its round of Europe and
   has encircled it – and until, by dint of enchaining Europe, it
   has encompassed the whole world. This it is to accomplish by
   using every endeavor to subdue the other countries by an economic
   conquest.

   The return of the head of the Snake to ZION can only be
   accomplished after the power of all the Sovereigns of Europe has
   been laid low, that is to say, when by means of economic crises
   and wholesale destruction effected everywhere, there shall have
   been brought about a spiritual demoralization and a moral corrup-
   tion, chiefly with the assistance of JEWISH WOMEN masquerading as
   French, Italians, etc. These are the surest spreader of licen-
   tiousness into the lives of the leading men at the heads of
   nations.

   A map of the course of the Symbolic Snake is shown as fol-
   lows: Its first stage in Europe was in 429 B.C. in Greece,
   where, about the time of Pericles, the Snake first started eating
   into the power of that country. The second stage was in Rome in
   the time of Augustus, about 69 B.C. The third in Madrid in the
   times of Charles V, in A.D. 1552. The fourth in Paris about
   1790, in the time of Louis XVI. The fifth in London from 1814
   onwards (after the downfall of Napoleon). The sixth in Berlin in
   1871 after the Franco-Prussian war. The seventh in St. Peters-
   burg, over which is drawn the head of the Snake under the date
   1881.

   After these states which the Snake traversed have had the
   foundations of their constitutions shaken, Germany, with its
   apparent power, forming no exception to the rule. In economic
   conditions England and Germany are spared by the Snake, on which
   at present [i.e., 1905] all its efforts are concentrated. The
   future course of the Snake is not shown on this map, but arrows
   indicate its next movement towards Moscow, Kiev, and Odessa.

   It is now well know to us to what extent the latter cities
   form the centers of the militant JEWISH RACE. Constantinople is
   shown as the last of the Snake’s course before it reaches Jerusa-
   lem.

2. III – The term “Goyim”

   

   Meaning GENTILES or NON-JEW, is used throughout the Proto-
   cols and is retained by Mr. Marsden.

   The Protocols
   ————-

   In 1884 the daughter of a Russian general, Mlle. Justine
   Glinka, was endeavoring to serve her country in Paris by
   obtaining political information, which she communicated to
   General Orgevskii in St. Petersburg. For this purpose she
   employed a Jew, Joseph Schorst, member of the Mizraim Lodge in
   Paris. One day Schorst offered to obtain for her a document of
   great importance to Russia, on payment of 2,500 francs. This sum
   being received from St. Petersburg was paid over and the document
   handed to Mlle. Glinka.
   She forwarded the French original, accompanied by a Russian
   translation, to Orgevskii, who in turn handed it to his chief,
   General Cherevin, for transmission to the Tsar. But Cherevin,
   under obligation to wealthy Jews, refused to transmit it, merely
   filing it in the archives.
   Meantime there appeared in Paris certain books on Russian
   court life which displeased the Tsar, who ordered his secret
   police to discover their authorship. This was falsefy attributed,
   perhaps with malicious intent, to Mlle. Glinka, and on her return
   to Russia she was banished to her estate in Orel. To the marechal
   de noblesse of this district, Alexis Sukhotin, Mlle. Glinka gave
   a copy of the Protocols. Sukhotin showed the document to two
   friends, Stepanov and Nilus; the former had it printed and
   circulated privately in 1897; the second, Professor Sergius A.
   Nilus, published it for the first time in Tsarskoe-Tselc (Russia)
   in 1901, in a book entitled The Great Within the Small. Then,
   about the same time, a friend of Nilus, G. Butmi, also brought it
   out and a copy was deposited in the British Museum on August 10,
   1906.
   Meantime, through Jewish members of the Russian police,
   minutes of the proceedings of the Basle congress in 1897 had been
   obtained and these were found to correspond with the Protocols.
   In January 1917, Nilus had prepared a second edition,
   revised and documented, for publication. But before it could be
   put on the market, the revolution of March 1917 had taken place
   and Kerenski, who had succeded to power, ordered the whole
   edition of Nilus’s book to be destroyed. In 1924, Prof. Nilus was
   arrested by the Cheka in Kiev, imprisoned, and tortured; he was
   told by the Jewish president of the court, that this treatment
   was meted out to him for “having done them incalculable harm in
   publishing the Protocols”. Released for a few months, he was
   again led before the G.P.U. (Cheka), this time in Moscow and
   confined. Set at liberty in February 1926, he died in exile in
   the district of Vladimir on January 13, 1929.]

3. PROTOCOLS
   OF THE MEETINGS OF THE
   LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION
   ———-

   

   PROTOCOL NO. 1

   Right lies in Might. Freedom — an idea only. Liberalism.
   Gold. Faith. Self-Government. Despotism of Capital. The
   internal foe. The Mob. Anarchy. Politics versus Morals. The
   Right of the strong. The Invincibility of Jew-Masonic
   authority. End justifies Means. The Mob a Blind Man.
   Political A.B.C. Party Discord. Most satisfactory form of

   Annihilation of the privileges of the Goy-Aristocracy (i.e.,
   non-Jew). The New Aristocracy. The psychological
   calculation. Abstractness of “Liberty.” Power of removal of
   representatives of the people.

   …..Putting aside fine phrases we shall speak of the
   significance of each thought: by comparisons and deductions we
   shall throw light upon surrounding facts.
   What I am about to set forth, then, is our system
   from the two point[s] of view, that of ourselves and that of
   the goyim (i.e., non-Jews).
   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.
   What has restrained the beasts of prey who are called men?
   What has served for their guidance hitherto?
   In the beginnings of the structure of society they were
   subjected to brutal and blind force; afterwards — to Law, which
   is the same force, only disguised. I draw the conclusion that by
   the law of nature right lies in force.
   Political freedom is an idea but not a fact. This idea one
   must know how to apply whenever it appears necessary with this
   bait of an idea to attract the masses of the people to one’s
   party for the purpose of crushing another who is in authority.
   This task is rendered easier if the opponent has himself been
   infected with the idea of freedom, so-called liberalism, and, for
   the sake of an idea, is willing to yield some of his power. It is
   precisely here that the triumph of our theory appears: the
   slackened reins of government are immediately, by the law of
   life, caught up and gathered together by a new hand, because the
   blind might of the nation cannot for one single day exist without
   guidance, and the new authority merely fits into the place of the
   old already weakened by liberalism.
   In our day the power which has replaced that of the rulers
   who were liberal is the power of Gold. Time was when Faith ruled.
   The idea of freedom is impossible of realization because no one
   knows how to use it with moderation. It is enough to hand over a
   people to self-government for a certain length of time for that
   people to be turned into a disorganized mob. From that moment on
   we get internecine strife which soon develops into battles
   between classes, in the midst of which States burn down and their
   importance is reduced to that of a heap of ashes.
   Whether a State exhausts itself in its own convulsions,
   whether its internal discord brings it under the power of
   external foes — in any case it can be accounted irretrievably
   lost: it is in our power. The despotism of Capital, which is
   entirely in our hands, reaches out to it a straw that the State,
   willy-nilly, must take hold of: if not — it goes to the bottom.
   Should anyone of a liberal mind say that such reflections as
   the above are immoral I would put the following questions: — If
   every State has two foes and if in regard to the external foe it
   is allowed and not considered immoral to use every manner and art
   of conflict, as for example to keep the enemy in ignorance of
   plans of attack and defence, to attack him by night or in
   superior numbers, then in what way can the same means in regard
   to a worse foe, the destroyer of the structure of society and the
   commonweal, be called immoral and not permissible?
   Is it possible for any sound logical mind to hope with any
   success to guide crowds by the aid of reasonable counsels and
   arguments, when any objection or contradiction, senseless though
   it may be, can be made and when such objection may find more
   favour with the people, whose powers of reasoning are
   superficial? Men in masses and the men of the masses, being
   guided solely by petty passions, paltry beliefs, customs,
   traditions and sentimental theorism, fall a prey to party
   dissension, which hinders any kind of agreement even on the basis
   of a perfectly reasonable argument. Every resolution of a crowd
   depends upon a chance or packed majority, which, in its ignorance
   of political secrets, put forth some ridiculous resolution that
   lays in the administration a seed of anarchy.
   The political has nothing in common with the moral. The
   ruler who is governed by the moral is not a skilled politician,
   and is therefore unstable on his throne. He who wishes to rule
   must have recource 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.
   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.
   Where does right begin? Where does it end?
   In any State in which there is a bad organization of
   authority, an impersonality of laws and of the rulers who have
   lost their personality amid the flood of rights ever multiplying
   out of liberalism, I find a new right — to attack by the right
   of the strong, and to scatter to the winds all existing forces of
   order and regulation, to reconstruct all institutions and to
   become the sovereign lord of those who have left to us the rights
   of their power by laying them down voluntarily in their
   liberalism.
   Our power in the present tottering condition of all forms of
   power will be more invisible 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.
   Out of the temporary evil we are now compelled to commit
   will emerge the good of an unshakeable rule, which will restore
   the regular course of the machinery of the national life, brought
   to naught by liberalism. The result justifies the means. Let us,
   however, in our plans, direct our attention not so much to what
   is good and moral as to what is necessary and useful.
   Before us is a plan in which is laid down strategically the
   line from which we cannot deviate without running the risk of
   seeing the labour of many centuries brought to naught.
   In order to elaborate satisfactory forms of action it is
   necessary to have regard to the rascality, the slackness, the
   instability of the mob, its lack of capacity to understand and
   respect the conditions of its own life, or its own welfare. It
   must be understood that the might of a mob is blind, senseless
   and unreasoning force ever at the mercy of a suggestion from any
   side. The blind cannot lead the blind without bringing them into
   the abyss; consequently, members of the mob, upstarts from the
   people even though they should be as a genius for wisdom, yet
   having no understanding of the political, cannot come forward as
   leaders of the mob without bringing the whole nation to ruin.
   Only one trained from childhood for independent rule can
   have understanding of the words that can be made up of the
   political alphabet.
   A people left to itself i.e., to upstarts from its midst,
   brings itself to ruin by party dissensions excited by the pursuit
   of power and honours and the disorders arising therefrom, Is it
   possible for the masses of the people calmly and without petty
   jealousies to form judgments, to deal with the affairs of the
   country, which cannot be mixed up with personal interests? Can
   they defend themselves from an external foe? It is unthinkable,
   for a plan broken up into as many parts as there are heads in the
   mob, loses all homogeneity, and thereby becomes unintelligible
   and impossible of execution.
   It is only with a despotic ruler that plans can be
   elaborated extensively and clearly in such a way as to distribute
   the whole properly among the several parts of the machinery of
   the State: from this the conclusion is inevitable that a
   satisfactory form of government for any country is one that
   concentrates in the 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 a 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.
   Behold the alcoholized 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.
   Our countersign is — Force and Make-believe. Only force
   conquers in political affairs, especially if it be concealed in
   the talents essential to statesmen. Violence must be the
   principle, and cunning and make-believe the rule for governments
   which do not want to lay down their crowns at the feet of agents
   of some new power. This evil is the one and only means to attain
   the end, the good. Therefore we must not stop at bribery, deceit
   and treachery when they should serve towards the attainment of
   our end. In politics one must know how to seize the property of
   others without hesitation if by it we secure submission and
   sovereignty.
   Our State, marching along the path of peaceful conquest, has
   the right to replace the horrors of war by less noticeable and
   more satisfactory sentences of death, necessary to maintain the
   terror which tends to produce blind submission. Just 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 merciless for all disobedience to cease.
   Far back in ancient times we were the first to cry among the
   masses of the people the words “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,”
   words many times repeated since those days by stupid poll-parrots
   who from all sides round flew down upon these baits and with them
   carried away the well-being of the world, true freedom of the
   individual, formerly so well guarded against the pressure of the
   mob. The would-be wise men of the goyim, the intellectuals, could
   not make anything out of the uttered words in their abstractness;
   did not note the contradiction of their meaning and inter-
   relation: did not see that in nature there is no equality, cannot
   be freedom; that Nature herself has established inequality of
   minds, of characters, and capacities, just as immutably as she
   has established subordination to her laws: never stopped to think
   that the mob is a blind thing, that upstarts elected from among
   it to bear rule are, in regard to the political, the same blind
   men as the mob itself, that the adept, though he be a fool, can
   yet rule, whereas the non-adept, even if he were a genius,
   understands nothing in the political — to all these things the
   goyim paid no regard; yet all the time it was based upon these
   things that dynastic rule rested: the father passed on to the son
   a knowledge of the course of political affairs in such wise that
   none 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.
   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 natural and genealogical
   aristocracy of the goyim we have set up the aristocracy of our
   educated class headed by the aristocracy of money. The
   qualifications for this aristocracy we have established in
   wealth, which is dependent upon us, and in knowledge, for which
   our learned elders provide the motive force.
   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 paralyse initiative, for it hands over
   the will of men to the disposition of him who has bought their
   activities.
   The abstraction of freedom has enabled us to persuade the
   mob in all countries that their government is nothing but the
   steward of the people who are the owners of the country, and that
   the steward may be replaced like a worn-out glove.
   It is this possibility of replacing the representatives of
   the people which has placed them at our disposal, and, as it
   were, given us the power of appointment.

4. PROTOCOL NO. 2

   Economic Wars–the foundation of the Jewish predominance.
   Figure-head government and “secret advisers.” Successes of
   destructive doctrines. Adaptability in politics. Part played
   by the Press. Cost of gold and value of Jewish sacrifice.

   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 my any limitations
   whatsoever. Our international rights will then wipe out national
   rights, in the proper sense of right, and will rule the nations
   precisely as the civil law of States rules the relations of their
   subjects among themselves.
   The administrators, whom we shall choose 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
   knowledge 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.
   Do not suppose for a moment that these statements are empty
   words: think carefully of the successes we arranged for
   Darwinism, Marxism, Nietzscheism. To us Jews, at any rate, it
   should be plain to see what a disintegrating importance these
   directives have had upon the minds of the goyim.
   It is indispensable for us to take account of the thoughts,
   characters, tendencies of the nations in order to avoid making
   slips in the political and in the direction of administrative
   affairs. The triumph of our system, of which the component parts
   of the machinery may be variously disposed according to the
   temperament of the peoples met on our way, will fail of success
   if the practical application of it be not based upon a summing up
   of the lessons of the past in the light of the present.
   In the hands of the States of to-day there is a great force
   that creates the movement of thought in the people, and that is
   the Press. The part played by the Press is to keep pointing out
   requirements supposed to be indispensable, to give voice to the
   complaints of the people, to express and 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.

   The Symbolic Snake and its significance. The instability of
   the constitutional scales. Terror in the palaces. Power and
   ambition. Parliaments “talkeries,” pamphlets. Abuse of
   power. Economic slavery. “People’s Rights.” Monopolist
   system and the aristocracy. The Army of Mason-Jewry.
   Decrescence of the Goyim. Hunger and rights of capital. The
   mob and the coronation of “The Sovereign Lord of all the
   World.” The fundamental precept in the programme of the
   future Masonic national schools. The secret of the science
   of the structure of society. Universal economic crisis.
   Security of “ours” (i.e., our people, Jews). The despotism
   of Masonry — the kingdom of reason. Loss of the guide.
   Masonry and the great French Revolution. The King Despot of
   the blood of Zion. Causes of the invinsibility of Masonry.
   Part played by secret masonic agents. Freedom.

   Today I may tell you that our goal is now only a few steps
   off. There remains a small space to cross and the whole long path
   we have trodden is ready now to close its cycle of the Symbolic
   Snake, by which we symbolize our people. When this ring closes,
   all the States of Europe will be locked in its coil as in a
   powerful vice.
   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.
   In order to incite seekers after power to a misuse of power
   we have set all forces in opposition one to another, breaking up
   their liberal tendencies towards independence. To this end we
   have stirred up every form of enterprise we have armed all
   parties, we have set up authority as a target for every ambition.
   Of States we have made gladiatorial arenas where a host of
   confused issues contend. A little more, and disorders and
   bankruptcy will be universal.
   Babblers inexhaustible have turned into 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.
   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
   “People’s Rights” can exist only in idea, an idea which can never
   be realized in practical life. What is it to the proletariat
   labourer, bowed double over his heavy toll, crushed by his lot in
   life, if talkers get the right to bable, 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 favour of what we dictate, in favour
   of the men we place in power, the servants of our agentur….
   Republican rights for a poor man are no more than a bitter piece
   of irony, for the necessity he is under of toiling almost all day
   gives him no present use of them, but on the other hand robs him
   of all guarantee of regular and certain earnings by making him
   dependent on strikes by his comrades or lockouts by his masters.
   The people under our guidance have annihilated the
   aristocracy, who were their one and only defence and foster-
   mother for the sake of their own advantage which is inseparably
   bound up with the well-being of the people. Nowadays, with the
   destruction of the aristocracy, the people have fallen into the
   grips of merciless money-grinding scoundrels who have laid a
   pitiless and cruel yoke upon the necks of the workers.
   We appear on the scene as alleged 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 labour 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 deminution, the killing out of the GOYIM. Our power is in the
   chronic shortness of food and physical weakness of the worker
   because by all that this implies he is made the slave of our
   will, and he will not find in his own authorities either strength
   or energy to set against our will. Hunger creates the right of
   capital to rule the worker more surely than it was given to the
   aristocracy by the legal authority of kings.
   By want and the envy and hatred which it engenders we shall
   move the mobs and with their hands we shall wipe out all those
   who hinder us on our way.
   When the hour strikes for our Sovereign Lord of all the
   World to be crowned it is these same hands which will sweep away
   everything that might be a hindrance thereto.
   The goyim have lost the habit of thinking unless prompted by
   the suggestions of our specialists. Therefore they do not see the
   urgent necessity of what we, when our kingdom comes, shall adopt
   at once, namely this, that it is essential to teach in national
   schools one simple, true piece of knowledge, the basis of all
   knowledge — the knowledge of the structure of human life, of
   social existence, which requires division of labour, 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 honour. The true knowledge of the structure of society,
   into the secrets of which we do not admit the goyim, would
   demonstrate to all men that the positions and work must be kept
   within a certain circle, that they may not become a source of
   human suffering, arising from an education which does not
   correspond with the work which individuals are called upon to do.
   After a thorough study of this knowledge the peoples will
   voluntarily submit to authority and accept such position as is
   appointed them in the State. In the present state of knowledge
   and the direction we have given to its development the people,
   blindly believing things in print — cherishes — thanks to
   promptings intended to mislead and to its own ignorance — a
   blind hatred towards all conditions which it considers above
   itself, for it has no understanding of the meaning of class and
   condition.
   This hatred will be still further magnified by the effects
   of an economic crisis, which will stop dealings on the exchanges
   and bring industry to a standstill. We shall create by all the
   secret subterranean methods open to us and with the aid of gold,
   which is all in our hands, a universal economic crisis whereby we
   shall throw upon the streets whole mobs of workers simultaneously
   in all the countries of Europe. These mobs will rush delightedly
   to shed the blood of those whom, in the simplicity of their
   ignorance, they have envied from their cradles, and whose
   property they will then be able to loot.
   “Ours” they will not touch, because the moment of attack
   will be known to us and we shall take measures to protect our
   own.
   We have demonstrated that progress will bring all the goyim
   to the sovereignty of reason. Our despotism will be precisely
   that; for it will know how by wise severities to pacificate all
   unrest, to cauterise liberalism out of all institutions.
   When the populace has seen that all sorts of concessions and
   indulgences are yielded it in the name of freedom it has imagined
   itself to be sovereign lord and has stormed its way to power,
   but, naturally, like every other blind man it has come upon a
   host of stumbling blocks, it has rushed 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.
   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 favour of that King-Despot of the blood of
   Zion, whom we are preparing for the world.
   At the present day we are, as an international force,
   invincible, because if attacked by some we are supported by other
   States. It is the bottomless rascality of the goyim 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.
   What is the explanation of this phenomenon, this curious
   inconsequence of the masses of the peoples in their attitude
   towards what would appear to be events of the same order?
   It is explained by the fact that these dictators whisper to
   the peoples through their agents that through these abuses they
   are inflicting injury on the States with the highest purpose —
   to secure the welfare of the peoples, the international
   brotherhood of them all, their solidarity and equality of rights.
   Naturally they do not tell the peoples that this unification must
   be accomplished only under our sovereign rule.
   And thus the people condemn the upright and acquit the
   guilty, persuaded ever more and more that it can do whatsoever it
   wishes. Thanks to this state of things the people are destroying
   every kind of stability and creating disorders at every step.
   The word “freedom” brings out the communities of men to
   fight against every kind of 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.
   These beasts, it is true, fall asleep again every time when
   they have drunk their fill of blood, and at such times can easily
   be riveted into their chains. But if they be not given blood they
   will not sleep and continue the struggle.

   Stages of a Republic. Gentile Masonry. Freedom and Faith.
   International Industrial Competition. Role of Speculation.
   Cult of Gold.

   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 expending
   its resources on the rewarding of long services.
   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.
   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 indespensable for us to
   undermine all faith, to tear of minds out of the GOYIM the very
   principle of Godhead and the spirit, and to put in its place
   arithmetical calculations and material needs.
   In order to give the goyim 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.
   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.

   Creation of an intensified centralization of government.
   Methods of seizing power by masonry. Causes of the
   impossibility of agreement between States. The state of
   “predestination” of the Jews. Gold — the engine of the
   machinery of States. Significance of criticism. “Show”
   institutions. Weariness from word-spinning. How to take a
   grip of public opinion. Significance of personal initiative.
   The Super-Government.

   What form of administrative rule can be given to communities
   in which corruption has penetrated everywhere, communities where
   riches are attained only by the clever surprise tactics of semi-
   swindling tricks; where looseness reigns: where morality is
   maintained by penal measures and harsh laws but not by
   voluntarily accepted principles: where the feelings toward faith
   and country are obliterated by cosmopolitan convictions? What
   form of rule is to be given to these communities if not that
   despotism which I shall describe to you later? We shall create an
   intensified centralization of government in order to grip in
   [our] hands all the forces of the community. We shall regulate
   mechanically all the actions of the political life of our
   subjects by new laws. These laws will withdraw one by one all the
   indulgences and liberties which have been permitted by the goyim,
   and our kingdom will be distinguished by a despotism of such
   magnificent proportions as to be at any moment and in every place
   in a position to wipe out any goyim who oppose us by deed or
   word.
   We shall be told that such a despotism as I speak of is not
   consistent with the progress of these days, but I will prove to
   you that it is.
   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 eye of the people, and
   when we also robbed them of their faith in God the might of power
   was flung upon the streets into the place of public
   proprietorship and was seized by us.
   Moreover, the art of diflecting masses and individuals by
   means of cleverly manipulated theory and verbiage, by regulations
   of life in common and all sorts of other quirks, in all which the
   goyim understand nothing, belongs likewise to the specialists of
   our administrative brain. Reared on analysis, observation, on
   delicacies of fine calculation, in this species of skill we have
   no rivals, any more than we have either in the drawing up of
   plans of political actions and solidarity. ln this respect the
   Jesuits alone might have compared with us, but we have contrived
   to discredit them in the eyes of the unthinking mob as an overt
   organization, while we ourselves all the while have kept our
   secret organization in the shade. However, it is probably all the
   same to the world who is its sovereign lord, whether the head of
   Catholicism or our despot of the blood of Zion! But to us, the
   Chosen People, it is very far from being a matter of
   indifference.
   For a time perhaps we might be successfully dealt with by a
   coalition of the GOYIM of all the world: but from this danger we
   are secured by the discord existing among them whose roots are so
   deeply seated that they can never now be plucked up. We have set
   one against another the personal and national reckonings of the
   goyim, religious and race hatreds, which we have fostered into a
   huge growth in the course of the past twenty centuries. This is
   the reason why there is not one State which would anywhere
   receive support if it were to raise its arm, for every one of
   them must bear in mind that any agreement against us would be
   unprofitable to itself. We are too strong–there is no evading
   our power. The nations cannot come to even an inconsiderable
   private agreement without our secretly having a hand in it.
   “Per Me reges regnant”. (“It is through me that Kings
   reign.”) And it was said by the prophets that we were chosen by
   God Himself to rule over the whole earth. God has endowed us with
   genius that we may be equal to our task. Were genius in the
   opposite camp it would still struggle against us, but even so a
   newcomer is no match for the old-established settler; the
   struggle would be merciless between us, such a fight as the world
   has never yet seen. Aye, and the genius on their side would have
   arrived too late. All the wheels of the machinery of all States
   go by the force of the engine, which is in our hands, and that
   engine of the machinery of States is Gold. The science of
   political economy invented by our learned elders has for long
   past been giving royal prestige to capital.
   Capital, if it is to co-operate untrammelled, must be free
   to establish a monopoly of industry and trade: this is already
   being put in execution by an unseen hand in all quarters of the
   world. This freedom will give political force to those engaged in
   industry, and that will help to oppress the people. Nowadays it
   is more important to disarm the peoples than to lead them into
   war; more important to use for our advantage the passions which
   have burst into flames than to quench their fire; more important
   to catch up and interpret the ideas of others to suit ourselves
   than to eradicate them. The principal object of our directorate
   consists in this: to debilitate the public mind by criticism; to
   lead it away from serious reflections calculated to arouse
   resistance; to distract the forces of the mind towards a sham
   fight of empty eloquence.
   In all ages the peoples of the world, equally with
   individuals, have accepted words for deeds, for they are content
   with a show and rarely pause to note, in the public arena,
   whether promises are followed by performance. Therefore we shall
   establish show institutions which will give eloquent proof of
   their benefit to progress.
   We shall assume to ourselves the liberal physiognomy of all
   parties, of all directions, and we shall give that physiognomy a
   voice in orators who will speak so much that they will exhaust
   the patience of their hearers and produce an abhorrence of
   oratory.
   In order to put public opinion into our hands we must bring
   it into a state of bewilderment by giving expression from all
   sides to so many contradictory opinions and for such 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.
   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 million, 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
   action saps the forces when it meets with the freedom of another.
   >From this collision arise grave moral shocks, disenchantments,
   failures. By all these means we shall so wear down the GOYIM that
   they will be compelled to offer us international power of a
   nature that by its position will enable us without any violence
   gradually to absorb all the State forces of the world and to form
   a Super-Government. In place of the rulers of 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.

   Monopolies; upon them depend the fortunes of the goyim.
   Taking of the land out of the hands of the aristocracy.
   Trade, Industry and Speculation. Luxury. Rise of wages and
   increase of price in the articles of primary necessity.
   Anarchism and drunkeness. Secret meaning of the propaganda
   of economic theories.

   We shall soon begin to establish huge monopolies, reservoirs
   of colossal riches, upon which even large fortunes of the goyim
   will depend to such an extent that they will go to the bottom
   together with the credit of the States on the day after the
   political smash….
   You gentlemen here present who are economists, just strike
   an estimate of the significance of this combination!
   In every possible way we must develop the significance of
   our Super-Government by representing it as the Protector and
   Benefactor of all those who voluntarily submit to us.
   The aristocracy of the goyim as a political force, is dead –
   – we need not take it into account; but as landed proprietors
   they can still be harmful to us from the fact that they are self-
   sufficing in the resources upon which they live. It is essential
   therefore for us at whatever cost to deprive them of their land.
   This object will be best attained by increasing the burdens upon
   landed property — in loading lands with debt. These measures
   will check land-holding and keep it in a state of humble and
   unconditional submission.
   The aristocrats of the goyim, being hereditarily incapable
   of contenting themselves with little, will rapidly burn up and
   fizzle out.
   At the same time we must intensively patronize trade and
   industry, but, first and foremost, speculation, the part played
   by which is to provide a counterpoise to industry: 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 labour and capital and by
   means of speculation transfer into our hands all the money of the
   world, and thereby throw all the goyim into the ranks of the
   proletariat. Then the goyim will bow down before us, if for no
   other reason but to get the right to exist.
   To complete the ruin of the industry of the goyim we shall
   bring to the assistance of speculation the luxury which we have
   developed among the goyim, that greedy demand for luxury which is
   swallowing up everything. We shall raise the rate of wages which,
   however, will not bring any advantage to the workers, for at the
   same time, we shall produce a rise in prices of the first
   necessaries of life, alleging that it arises from the decline of
   agriculture and cattle breeding: we shall further undermine
   artfully and deeply sources of production, by accustoming the
   workers to anarchy and to drunkenness and side by side therewith
   taking all measure to extirpate from the fact of the earth all
   the educated forces of the GOYIM.
   In order that the true meaning of things may not strike the
   GOYIM before the proper time we shall mask it under an alleged
   ardent desire to serve the working classes and the great
   principles of political economy about which our economic theories
   are carrying on an energetic propaganda.

   Object of the intensification of armaments. Ferments,
   discords and hostility all over the world. Checking the
   opposition of the goyim by wars and by a universal war.
   Secrecy means success in the political. The Press and public
   opinion. The guns of America, China and Japan.

   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 millionaries devoted to our
   interests, police and soldiers.
   Throughout all Europe, and by means of relations with
   Europe, in other continents also, we must create ferments,
   discords and hostility. Therein we gain a double advantage. In
   the first place we keep in check all countries, for they well
   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 compliancy. 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.
   We must be in a position to respond to every act of
   opposition by war with the neighbours of that country which dares
   to oppose us: but if these neighbours should also venture to
   stand collectively together against us, then we must offer
   resistance by a universal war.
   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.
   We must compel the governments of the goyim to take action
   in the direction favoured by our widely-conceived plan, already
   approaching the desired consummation, by what we shall represent
   as public opinion, secretly prompted by us through the means of
   that so-called “Great Power” — the Press, which, with a few
   exceptions that may be disregarded, is already entirely in our
   hands.
   In a word, to sum up our system of keeping the governments
   of the goyim in Europe in check, we shall show our strength to
   one of them by terrorist attempts and to all, if we allow the
   possibility of a general rising against us, we shall respond with
   the guns of America or China or Japan.

    Ambiguous employment of juridical rights. Assistants of the
    Masonic directorate. Special schools and super-educational
    training. Economists and millionaires. To whom to entrust
    responsible posts in the government.

    We must arm ourselves with all the weapons which our
    opponents might employ against us. We must search out in the very
    finest shades of expression and the knotty points of the lexicon
    of law justification for those cases where we shall have to
    pronounce judgments that might appear abnormally audacious and
    unjust, for it is important that these resolutions should be set
    forth in expressions that shall seem to be the most exalted moral
    principles cast into legal form. Our directorate must surround
    itself with all these forces of civilization among which it will
    have to work. It will surround itself with publicists, practical
    jurists, administrators, diplomats and, finally, with persons
    prepared by a special super-educational training in our special
    schools. These persons will have cognisance of all the secrets of
    the social structure, they will know all the languages that can
    be made up by political alphabets and words; they will be made
    acquainted with the whole underside of human nature, with all its
    sensitive chords on which they will have to play. These chords
    are the cast of mind of the goyim, their tendencies,
    shortcomings, vices and qualities, the particularities of classes
    and conditions. Needless to say that the talented assistants of
    authority, of whom I speak, will be taken not from among the
    goyim, who are accustomed to perform their administrative work
    without giving themselves the trouble to think what its aim is,
    and never consider what it is needed for. The administrators of
    the goyim sign papers without reading them, and they serve either
    for mercenary reasons or from ambition.
    We shall surround our government with a whole world of
    economists. That is the reason why economic sciences form the
    principal subject of the teaching given to the Jews. Around us
    again will be a whole constellation of bankers, industrialists,
    capitalists and — the main thing millionaires, because in
    substance everything will be settled by the question of figures.
    For a time, until there will no longer be any risk in
    entrusting responsible posts in our States to our brother Jews,
    we shall put them in the hands of persons whose past and
    reputation are such that between them and the people lies an
    abyss, persons who, in case of disobedience to our instructions,
    must face criminal charges or disappear — this in order to make
    them defend our interests to their last gasp.
