Who Know About The Protocols Of Zion?

PREFACE
(Translated by Victor E. Marsden)
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."

INTRODUCTION
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 precis gummed on to the front of a document, a
draft of a document, minutes of proceedings. In this instance, "Protocol" means
minutes of the proceedings of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of Zion. These
Protocols give the substance of addresses delivered to the innermost circle of the
Rulers of Zion. 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 fulfillment 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

 

[Speedy]

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 of
H.R.H., the Prince of Wales. And this is the "saying" of the Sages which Dr. Weizmann
quoted: "A beneficent protection which God has instituted in the life of the Jew is that
He has dispersed him all over the world." (JEWISH GUARDIAN, Oct. 8, 1920.) Now
compare this with the last clause of but one of Protocol XI. "God has granted to us, His
Chosen People, the gift of dispersion, and from this, which appears to all eyes to be
our weakness, has come forth all our strength, which has now brought us to the
threshold of sovereignty over all the world."
The remarkable correspondence between these passages proves several things. It
proves that the Learned Elders exist. It proves that Dr. Weizmann knows all about
them. It proves that the desire for a "National Home" in Palestine is only camouflage
and an infinitesimal part of the Jew's real object. It proves that the Jews of the world
have no intention of settling in Palestine or any separate country, and that their
annual prayer that they may all meet "Next Year in Jerusalem" is merely a piece of
their characteristic 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..

WHO ARE THE ELDERS?
This is a secret which has not been revealed. They are the Hidden hand. They are
not the "Board of Deputies" (the Jewish Parliament in England) or the "Universal
Israelite Alliance" which sits in Paris. But the late Walter Rathenau of the Allgemeiner
Electricitaets Gesellschaft has thrown a little light on the subject and doubtless he was
in possession of their names, being, in all likelihood, one of the chief leaders himself.
Writing in the WIENER FREIE PRESSE, December 24, 1912, he said: "Three hundred
men, each of whom knows all the others, govern the fate of the European continent,
and they elect their successors from their entourage."

 

[Speedy]

In the year 1844, on the eve of the Jewish Revolution of 1848, Benjamin Disraeli,
whose real name was Israel, and who was a "damped," or baptized Jew, published his
novel, CONINGSBY, in which occurs this ominous passage: "The world is governed by
very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the
scenes." And he went on to show that these personages were all Jews.
Now that Providence has brought to the light of day these secret Protocols all men
may clearly see the hidden personages specified by Disraeli at work "behind the
scenes" of all the Governments. This revelation entails on all 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.
Notes I. - "Agentur" and "The Political." There are two words in this translation
which are unusual, the word "AGENTUR" and "political" used as a substantive,
AGENTUR appears to be a word adopted from the original and it means the whole
body of agents and agencies made use of by the Elders, whether members of the tribe
or their Gentile tools. By "the Political" Mr. Marsden means, not exactly the "body
politic" but the entire machinery of politics.
Notes II - The Symbolic Snake of Judaism. Protocol III opens with a reference to
the Symbolic Snake of Judaism. In his Epilogue to the 1905 Edition of the Protocols,
Nilus gives the following interesting account of this symbol: "According to the records
of secret Jewish Zionism, Solomon and other Jewish learned men already, in 929 B.C.,
thought out a scheme in theory for a peaceful conquest of the whole universe by Zion.
As history developed, this scheme was worked out in detail and completed by men
who were subsequently initiated in this question. These learned men decided by
peaceful means to conquer the world for Zion with the slyness of the Symbolic Snake,
whose head was to represent those who have been initiated into the plans of the
Jewish administration, and the body of the Snake to represent the Jewish people - the
administration was always kept secret, EVEN FROM THE JEWISH NATION ITSELF. As
this Snake penetrated into the hearts of the nations which it encountered it
undermined and devoured all the non-Jewish power of these States.
It is foretold that the Snake has still to finish its work, strictly adhering to the
designed plan, until the course which it has to run is closed by the return of its head to
Zion and until, by this means, the Snake has completed its round of Europe and has
encircled it - and until, by dint of enchaining Europe, it has encompassed the whole
world. This it is to accomplish by using every endeavor to subdue the other countries
by an ECONOMICAL CONQUEST.
The return of the head of the Snake to Zion can only be accomplished after the
power of all the Sovereign of Europe has been laid low, that is to say, when by means
of economic crises and wholesale destruction effected everywhere, there shall have
been brought about a spiritual demoralization and a moral corruption, chiefly with the
assistance of Jewish women masquerading as French, Italians, etc.. These are the
surest spreaders of licentiousness into the lives of the leading men at the heads of
nations.
A map of the course of the Symbolic Snake is shown as follows: - Its first stage in
Europe was in 429 B.C. in Greece, where, about the time of Pericles, the Snake first
started eating into the power of that country. The second stage was in Rome in the
time of Augustus, about 69 B.C.. The third in Madrid in the time of Charles V, in A.D.

 

[Speedy]

1552. The fourth in Paris about 1790, in the time of Louis XVI. The fifth in London
from 1814 onwards (after the downfall of Napoleon). The sixth in Berlin in 1871 after
the Franco-Prussian war. The seventh in St. Petersburg, over which is drawn the head
of the Snake under the date of 1881. [This "Snake" is now being drawn through the
Americas and in the United States of America, it is been partially identified as the
"Counsel on Foreign Relations" (C.F.R.) and the "Tri-Lateral Commission"].
All these States which the Snake traversed have had the foundations of their
constitutions shaken, Germany, with its apparent power, forming no exception to the
rule. In economic conditions, England and Germany are spared, but only till the
conquest of Russia is accomplished by the Snake, on which at present [i.e., 1905] all
its efforts are concentrated. The further course of the Snake is not shown on this map,
but arrows indicate its next movement towards Moscow, Kieft and Odessa. It is now
well known to us to what extent the latter cities form the centuries of the militant
Jewish race. Constantinople is shown as the last stage of the Snake's course before it
reaches Jerusalem. (This map was drawn years before the occurrence of the "Young
Turk" - i.e., Jewish - Revolution in Turkey). den.
Notes III. - The term "Goyim," meaning Gentile or non-Jews, is used throughout
the Protocols and is retained by Mr. Mars.

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.
GOLD
7. In our day the power which has replaced that of the rulers who were liberal is the
power of Gold. Time was when Faith ruled. The idea of freedom is impossible of
realization because no one knows how to use it with moderation. It is enough to hand
over a people to self-government for a certain length of time for that people to be
turned into a disorganized mob. From that moment on we get internecine strife which
soon develops into battles between classes, in the midst of which States burn down
and their importance is reduced to that of a heap of ashes.
8. Whether a State exhausts itself in its own convulsions, whether its internal
discord brings it under the power of external foes - in any case it can be accounted
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.

 

[Speedy]

MIGHT IS RIGHT
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 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.
19. Only one trained from childhood for independent rule can have understanding of
the words that can be made up of the political alphabet.
20. A people left to itself, i.e., to upstarts from its midst, brings itself to ruin by
party dissensions excited by the pursuit of power and honors and the disorders arising
therefrom. Is it possible for the masses of the people calmly and without petty
jealousies to form judgment, to deal with the affairs of the country, which cannot be
mixed up with personal interest? Can they defend themselves from an external foe? It
is unthinkable; for a plan broken up into as many parts as there are heads in the mob,
loses all homogeneity, and thereby becomes unintelligible and impossible of execution.
WE ARE DESPOTS

 

[Speedy]

21. It is only with a despotic ruler that plans can be elaborated extensively and
clearly in such a way as to distribute the whole properly among the several parts of
the machinery of the State: from this the conclusion is inevitable that a satisfactory
form of government for any country is one that concentrates in the hands of one
responsible person. Without an absolute despotism there can be no existence for
civilization which is carried on not by the masses but by their guide, whosoever that
person may be. The mob is savage, and displays its savagery at every opportunity.
The moment the mob seizes freedom in its hands it quickly turns to anarchy, which in
itself is the highest degree of savagery.
22. Behold the alcoholic animals, bemused with drink, the right to an immoderate
use of which comes along with freedom. It is not for us and ours to walk that road.
The peoples of the GOYIM are bemused with alcoholic liquors; their youth has grown
stupid on classicism and from early immorality, into which it has been inducted by our
special agents - by tutors, lackeys, governesses in the houses of the wealthy, by
clerks and others, by our women in the places of dissipation frequented by the GOYIM.
In the number of these last I count also the so-called "society ladies," voluntary
followers of the others in corruption and luxury.
23. Our countersign is - Force and Make-believe. Only force conquers in political
affairs, especially if it be concealed in the talents essential to statesmen. Violence
must be the principle, and cunning and make-believe the rule for governments which
do not want to lay down their crowns at the feet of agents of some new power. This
evil is the one and only means to attain the end, the good. Therefore we must not stop
at bribery, deceit and treachery when they should serve towards the attainment of our
end. In politics one must know how to seize the property of others without hesitation if
by it we secure submission and sovereignty.
24. Our State, marching along the path of peaceful conquest, has the right to
replace the horrors of war by less noticeable and more satisfactory sentences of death,
necessary to maintain the terror which tends to produce blind submission. Just but
merciless severity is the greatest factor of strength in the State: not only for the sake
of gain but also in the name of duty, for the sake of victory, we must keep to the
programme of violence and make-believe. The doctrine of squaring accounts is
precisely as strong as the means of which it makes use. Therefore it is not so much by
the means themselves as by the doctrine of severity that we shall triumph and bring
all governments into subjection to our super-government. It is enough for them to
know that we are too merciless for all disobedience to cease.
WE SHALL END LIBERTY
25. Far back in ancient times we were the first to cry among the masses of the
people the words "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," words many times repeated since
these days by stupid poll- parrots who, from all sides around, flew down upon these
baits and with them carried away the well-being of the world, true freedom of the
individual, formerly so well guarded against the pressure of the mob. The would-be
wise men of the GOYIM, the intellectuals, could not make anything out of the uttered
words in their abstractedness; did not see that in nature there is no equality, cannot
be freedom: that Nature herself has established inequality of minds, of characters, and
capacities, just as immutably as she has established subordination to her laws: never
stopped to think that the mob is a blind thing, that upstarts elected from among it to
bear rule are, in regard to the political, the same blind men as the mob itself, that the
adept, though he be a fool, can yet rule, whereas the non-adept, even if he were a
genius, understands nothing in the political - to all those things the GOYIM paid no

 

[Speedy]

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.

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

PROTOCOL No. 3
1. To-day I may tell you that our goal is now only a few steps off. There remains a
small space to cross and the whole long path we have trodden is ready now to close
its cycle of the Symbolic Snake, by which we symbolize our people. When this ring closes, all the States of Europe will be locked in its coil as in a powerful vice.
2. The constitution scales of these days will shortly break down, for we have
established them with a certain lack of accurate balance in order that they may
oscillate incessantly until they wear through the pivot on which they turn. The GOYIM
are under the impression that they have welded them sufficiently strong and they
have all along kept on expecting that the scales would come into equilibrium. But the
pivots - the kings on their thrones - are hemmed in by their representatives, who play
the fool, distraught with their own uncontrolled and irresponsible power. This power
they owe to the terror which has been breathed into the palaces. As they have no
means of getting at their people, into their very midst, the kings on their thrones are
no longer able to come to terms with them and so strengthen themselves against
seekers after power. We have made a gulf between the far-seeing Sovereign Power
and the blind force of the people so that both have lost all meaning, for like the blind
man and his stick, both are powerless apart.
3. In order to incite seekers after power to a misuse of power we have set all forces
in opposition one to another, breaking up their liberal tendencies towards
independence. To this end we have stirred up every form of enterprise, we have
armed all parties, we have set up authority as a target for every ambition. Of States
we have made gladiatorial arenas where a lot of confused issues contend .... A little
more, and disorders and bankruptcy will be universal ....
4. Babblers, inexhaustible, have turned into oratorical contests the sittings of
Parliament and Administrative Boards. Bold journalists and unscrupulous pamphleteers
daily fall upon executive officials. Abuses of power will put the final touch in preparing
all institutions for their overthrow and everything will fly skyward under the blows of
the maddened mob.
POVERTY OUR WEAPON
5. All people are chained down to heavy toil by poverty more firmly than ever. They
were chained by slavery and serfdom; from these, one way and another, they might
free themselves. These could be settled with, but from want they will never get away.
We have included in the constitution such rights as to the masses appear fictitious and
not actual rights. All these so-called "Peoples Rights" can exist only in idea, an idea
which can never be realized in practical life. What is it to the proletariat laborer, bowed
double over his heavy toil, crushed by his lot in life, if talkers get the right to babble, if
journalists get the right to scribble any nonsense side by side with good stuff, once the
proletariat has no other profit out of the constitution save only those pitiful crumbs
which we fling them from our table in return for their voting in favor of what we
dictate, in favor of the men we place in power, the servants of our AGENTUR ...
Republican rights for a poor man are no more than a bitter piece of irony, for the
necessity he is under of toiling almost all day gives him no present use of them, but
the other hand robs him of all guarantee of regular and certain earnings by making
him dependent on strikes by his comrades or lockouts by his masters.
WE SUPPORT COMMUNISM
6. The people, under our guidance, have annihilated the aristocracy, who were their
one and only defense and 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

 

[Speedy]

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.
10. The GOYIM have lost the habit of thinking unless prompted by the suggestions
of our specialists. Therefore they do not see the urgent necessity of what we, when
our kingdom comes, shall adopt at once, namely this, that IT IS ESSENTIAL TO TEACH
IN NATIONAL SCHOOLS ONE SIMPLE, TRUE PIECE OF KNOWLEDGE, THE BASIS OF
ALL KNOWLEDGE - THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE STRUCTURE OF HUMAN LIFE, OF SOCIAL
EXISTENCE, WHICH REQUIRES DIVISION OF LABOR, AND, CONSEQUENTLY, THE
DIVISION OF MEN INTO CLASSES AND CONDITIONS. It is essential for all to know
that OWING TO DIFFERENCE IN THE OBJECTS OF HUMAN ACTIVITY THERE CANNOT
BE ANY EQUALITY, that he, who by any act of his compromises a whole class, cannot
be equally responsible before the law with him who affects no one but only his own
honor. The true knowledge of the structure of society, into the secrets of which we do
not admit the GOYIM, would demonstrate to all men that the positions and work must
be kept within a certain circle, that they may not become a source of human suffering,
arising from an education which does not correspond with the work which individuals
are called upon to do. After a thorough study of this knowledge, the peoples will
voluntarily submit to authority and accept such position as is appointed them in the
State. In the present state of knowledge and the direction we have given to its
development of the people, blindly believing things in print - cherishes - thanks to
promptings intended to mislead and to its own ignorance - a blind hatred towards all
conditions which it considers above itself, for it has no understanding of the meaning
of class and condition.
JEWS WILL BE SAFE
11. THIS HATRED WILL BE STILL FURTHER MAGNIFIED BY THE EFFECTS of an
ECONOMIC CRISES, which will stop dealing on the exchanges and bring industry to a
standstill. We shall create by all the secret subterranean methods open to us and with
the aid of gold, which is all in our hands, A UNIVERSAL ECONOMIC CRISES WHEREBY
WE SHALL THROW UPON THE STREETS WHOLE MOBS OF WORKERS
SIMULTANEOUSLY IN ALL THE COUNTRIES OF EUROPE. These mobs will rush
delightedly to shed the blood of those whom, in the simplicity of their ignorance, they have envied from their cradles, and whose property they will then be able to loot.
12. "OURS" THEY WILL NOT TOUCH, BECAUSE THE MOMENT OF ATTACK WILL BE
KNOWN TO US AND WE SHALL TAKE MEASURES TO PROTECT OUR OWN.
13. We have demonstrated that progress will bring all the GOYIM to the sovereignty
of reason. Our despotism will be precisely that; for it will know how, by wise
severities, to pacificate all unrest, to cauterize liberalism out of all institutions.
14. When the populace has seen that all sorts of concessions and indulgences are
yielded it, in the same name of freedom it has imagined itself to be sovereign lord and
has stormed its way to power, but, naturally like every other blind man, it has come
upon a host of stumbling blocks. IT HAS RUSHED TO FIND A GUIDE, IT HAS NEVER
HAD THE SENSE TO RETURN TO THE FORMER STATE and it has laid down its
plenipotentiary powers at OUR feet. Remember the French Revolution, to which it was
we who gave the name of "Great": the secrets of its preparations are well known to us
for it was wholly the work of our hands.
15 Ever since that time we have been leading the peoples from one disenchantment
to another, so that in the end they should turn also from us in favor of that KINGDESPOT
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

 

[Speedy]

fill of blood, and at such time can easily be riveted into their chains. But if they be not
given blood they will not sleep and continue to struggle

PROTOCOL No. 4
1. Every republic passes through several stages. The first of these is comprised in
the early days of mad raging by the blind mob, tossed hither and thither, right and
left: the second is demagogy from which is born anarchy, and that leads inevitably to
despotism - not any longer legal and overt, and therefore responsible despotism, but
to unseen and secretly hidden, yet nevertheless sensibly felt despotism in the hands of
some secret organization or other, whose acts are the more unscrupulous inasmuch as
it works behind a screen, behind the backs of all sorts of agents, the changing of
whom not only does not injuriously affect but actually aids the secret force by saving
it, thanks to continual changes, from the necessity of expanding its resources on the
rewarding of long services.
2. Who and what is in a position to overthrow an invisible force? And this is
precisely what our force is. GENTILE masonry blindly serves as a screen for us and our
objects, but the plan of action of our force, even its very abiding-place, remains for
the whole people an unknown mystery.
WE SHALL DESTROY GOD
3. But even freedom might be harmless and have its place in the State economy
without injury to the well-being of the peoples if it rested upon the foundation of faith
in God, upon the brotherhood of humanity, unconnected with the conception of
equality, which is negatived by the very laws of creation, for they have established
subordination. With such a faith as this a people might be governed by a wardship of
parishes, and would walk contentedly and humbly under the guiding hand of its
spiritual pastor submitting to the dispositions of God upon earth. This is the reason
why IT IS INDISPENSABLE FOR US TO UNDERMINE ALL FAITH, TO TEAR OUT OF THE
MIND OF THE "GOYIM" THE VERY PRINCIPLE OF GOD-HEAD AND THE SPIRIT, AND TO
PUT IN ITS PLACE ARITHMETICAL CALCULATIONS AND MATERIAL NEEDS.
4. In order to give the GOYIM no time to think and take note, their minds must be
diverted towards industry and trade. Thus, all the nations will be swallowed up in the
pursuit of gain and in the race for it will not take note of their common foe. But again,
in order that freedom may once for all disintegrate and ruin the communities of the
GOYIM, we must put industry on a speculative basis: the result of this will be that
what is withdrawn from the land by industry will slip through the hands and pass into
speculation, that is, to our classes.
5. The intensified struggle for superiority and shocks delivered to economic life will
create, nay, have already created, disenchanted, cold and heartless communities.
Such communities will foster a strong aversion towards the higher political and
towards religion. Their only guide is gain, that is Gold, which they will erect into a
veritable cult, for the sake of those material delights which it can give. Then will the
hour strike when, not for the sake of attaining the good, not even to win wealth, but solely out of hatred towards the privileged, the lower classes of the GOYIM will follow
our lead against our rivals for power, the intellectuals of the GOYIM.

 

[Speedy]

PROTOCOL No. 5
1. What form of administrative rule can be given to communities in which
corruption has penetrated everywhere, communities where riches are attained only by
the clever surprise tactics of semi-swindling tricks; where looseness reigns: where
morality is maintained by penal measures and harsh laws but not by voluntarily
accepted principles: where the feelings towards faith and country are 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.
MASSES LED BY LIES
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

 

[Speedy]

COALITION OF THE "GOYIM" OF ALL THE WORLD: but from this danger we are
secured by the discord existing among them whose roots are so deeply seated that
they can never now be plucked up. We have set one against another the personal and
national reckonings of the GOYIM, religious and race hatreds, which we have fostered
into a huge growth in the course of the past twenty centuries. This is the reason why
there is not one State which would anywhere receive support if it were to raise its
arm, for every one of them must bear in mind that any agreement against us would be
unprofitable to itself. We are too strong - there is no evading our power. THE NATIONS
CANNOT COME TO EVEN AN INCONSIDERABLE PRIVATE AGREEMENT WITHOUT OUR
SECRETLY HAVING A HAND IN IT.
6. PER ME REGES REGNANT. "It is through me that Kings reign." And it was said by
the prophets that we were chosen by God Himself to rule over the whole earth. God
has endowed us with genius that we may be equal to our task. Were genius in the
opposite camp it would still struggle against us, but even so, a newcomer is no match
for the old-established settler: the struggle would be merciless between us, such a
fight as the world has never seen. Aye, and the genius on their side would have
arrived too late. All the wheels of the machinery of all States go by the force of the
engine, which is in our hands, and that engine of the machinery of States is - Gold.
The science of political economy invented by our learned elders has for long past been
giving royal prestige to capital.
MONOPOLY CAPITAL
7. Capital, if it is to co-operate untrammeled, must be free to establish a monopoly
of industry and trade: this is already being put in execution by an unseen hand in all
quarters of the world. This freedom will give political force to those engaged in
industry, and that will help to oppress the people. Nowadays it is more important to
disarm the peoples than to lead them into war: more important to use for our
advantage the passions which have burst into flames than to quench their fire: more
important to eradicate them. THE PRINCIPLE OBJECT OF OUR DIRECTORATE
CONSISTS IN THIS: TO DEBILITATE THE PUBLIC MIND BY CRITICISM; TO LEAD IT
AWAY FROM SERIOUS REFLECTIONS CALCULATED TO AROUSE RESISTANCE; TO
DISTRACT THE FORCES OF THE MIND TOWARDS A SHAM FIGHT OF EMPTY
ELOQUENCE.
8. In all ages the people of the world, equally with individuals, have accepted words
for deeds, for THEY ARE CONTENT WITH A SHOW and rarely pause to note, in the
public arena, whether promises are followed by performance. Therefore we shall
establish show institutions which will give eloquent proof of their benefit to progress.
9. We shall assume to ourselves the liberal physiognomy of all parties, of all
directions, and we shall give that physiognomy a VOICE IN ORATORS WHO WILL
SPEAK SO MUCH THAT THEY WILL EXHAUST THE PATIENCE OF THEIR HEARERS AND
PRODUCE AN ABHORRENCE OF ORATORY.
10. IN ORDER TO PUT PUBLIC OPINION INTO OUR HANDS WE MUST BRING IT
INTO A STATE OF BEWILDERMENT BY GIVING EXPRESSION FROM ALL SIDES TO SO
MANY CONTRADICTORY OPINIONS AND FOR SUCH LENGTH OF TIME AS WILL
SUFFICE TO MAKE THE "GOYIM" LOSE THEIR HEADS IN THE LABYRINTH AND COME
TO SEE THAT THE BEST THING IS TO HAVE NO OPINION OF ANY KIND IN MATTERS
POLITICAL, which it is not given to the public to understand, because they are
understood only by him who guides the public. This is the first secret.

 

[Speedy]

11. The second secret requisite for the success of our government is comprised in
the following: To multiply to such an extent national failings, habits, passions,
conditions of civil life, that it will be impossible for anyone to know where he is in the
resulting chaos, so that the people in consequence will fail to understand one another.
This measure will also serve us in another way, namely, to sow discord in all parties,
to dislocate all collective forces which are still unwilling to submit to us, and to
discourage any kind of personal initiative which might in any degree hinder our affair.
THERE IS NOTHING MORE DANGEROUS THAN PERSONAL INITIATIVE: if it has genius
behind it, such initiative can do more than can be done by millions of people among
whom we have sown discord. We must so direct the education of the GOYIM
communities that whenever they come upon a matter requiring initiative they may
drop their hands in despairing impotence. The strain which results from freedom of
actions saps the forces when it meets with the freedom of another. From this collision
arise grave moral shocks, disenchantments, failures. BY ALL THESE MEANS WE SHALL
SO WEAR DOWN THE "GOYIM" THAT THEY WILL BE COMPELLED TO OFFER US
INTERNATIONAL POWER OF A NATURE THAT BY ITS POSITION WILL ENABLE US
WITHOUT ANY VIOLENCE GRADUALLY TO ABSORB ALL THE STATE FORCES OF THE
WORLD AND TO FORM A SUPER-GOVERNMENT.
In place of the rulers of to-day we shall set up a bogey which will be called the
Super-Government Administration. Its hands will reach out in all directions like nippers
and its organization will be of such colossal dimensions that it cannot fail to subdue all
the nations of the world.
PROTOCOL No. 6
1. We shall soon begin to establish huge monopolies, reservoirs of colossal riches,
upon which even, large fortunes of the GOYIM will depend to such an extent that they
will go to the bottom together with the credit of the States on the day after the
political smash ...
2. You gentlemen here present who are economists, just strike an estimate of the
significance of this combination! ...
3. In every possible way we must develop the significance of our Super-
Government by representing it as the Protector and Benefactor of all those who
voluntarily submit to us.
4. The aristocracy of the GOYIM as a political force, is dead - We need not take it
into account; but as landed proprietors they can still be harmful to us from the fact
that they are self-sufficing in the resources upon which they live. It is essential
therefore for us at whatever cost to deprive them of their land. This object will be best
attained by increasing the burdens upon landed property - in loading lands with debts.
These measures will check land- holding and keep it in a state of humble and
unconditional submission.
5. The aristocrats of the GOYIM, being hereditarily incapable of contenting
themselves with little, will rapidly burn up and fizzle out.

 

[Speedy]

WE SHALL ENSLAVE GENTILES
6. At the same time we must intensively patronize trade and industry, but, first and
foremost, speculation, the part played by which is to provide a counterpoise to
industry: the absence of speculative industry will multiply capital in private hands and
will serve to restore agriculture by freeing the land from indebtedness to the land
banks. What we want is that industry should drain off from the land both labor and
capital and by means of speculation transfer into our hands all the money of the world,
and thereby throw all the GOYIM into the ranks of the proletariat. Then the GOYIM will
bow down before us, if for no other reason but to get the right to exist.
7. To complete the ruin of the industry of the GOYIM we shall bring to the
assistance of speculation the luxury which we have developed among the GOYIM, that
greedy demand for luxury which is swallowing up everything. WE SHALL RAISE THE
RATE OF WAGES WHICH, HOWEVER, WILL NOT BRING ANY ADVANTAGE TO THE
WORKERS, FOR, AT THE SAME TIME, WE SHALL PRODUCE A RISE IN PRICES OF THE
FIRST NECESSARIES OF LIFE, ALLEGING THAT IT ARISES FROM THE DECLINE OF
AGRICULTURE AND CATTLE-BREEDING: WE SHALL FURTHER UNDERMINE ARTFULLY
AND DEEPLY SOURCES OF PRODUCTION, BY ACCUSTOMING THE WORKERS TO
ANARCHY AND TO DRUNKENNESS AND SIDE BY SIDE THEREWITH TAKING ALL
MEASURE TO EXTIRPATE FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH ALL THE EDUCATED FORCES
OF THE "GOYIM."
8. IN ORDER THAT THE TRUE MEANING OF THINGS MAY NOT STRIKE THE "GOYIM"
BEFORE THE PROPER TIME WE SHALL MASK IT UNDER AN ALLEGED ARDENT DESIRE
TO SERVE THE WORKING CLASSES AND THE GREAT PRINCIPLES OF POLITICAL
ECONOMY ABOUT WHICH OUR ECONOMIC THEORIES ARE CARRYING ON AN
ENERGETIC PROPAGANDA

PROTOCOL No. 7
1. The intensification of armaments, the increase of police forces - are all essential
for the completion of the aforementioned plans. What we have to get at is that there
should be in all the States of the world, besides ourselves, only the masses of the
proletariat, a few millionaires devoted to our interests, police and soldiers.
2. Throughout all Europe, and by means of relations with Europe, in other
continents also, we must create ferments, discords and hostility. Therein we gain a
double advantage. In the first place we keep in check all countries, for they will know
that we have the power whenever we like to create disorders or to restore order. All
these countries are accustomed to see in us an indispensable force of coercion. In the
second place, by our intrigues we shall tangle up all the threads which we have
stretched into the cabinets of all States by means of the political, by economic
treaties, or loan obligations. In order to succeed in this we must use great cunning and
penetration during negotiations and agreements, but, as regards what is called the
"official language," we shall keep to the opposite tactics and assume the mask of
honesty and complacency. In this way the peoples and governments of the GOYIM,
whom we have taught to look only at the outside whatever we present to their notice, will still continue to accept us as the benefactors and saviours of the human race

 

[Speedy]

UNIVERSAL WAR
3. We must be in a position to respond to every act of opposition by war with the
neighbors of that country which dares to oppose us: but if these neighbors should also
venture to stand collectively together against us, then we must offer resistance by a
universal war.
4. The principal factor of success in the political is the secrecy of its undertakings:
the word should not agree with the deeds of the diplomat.
5. We must compel the governments of the GOYIM to take action in the direction
favored by our widely conceived plan, already approaching the desired consummation,
by what we shall represent as public opinion, secretly promoted by us through the
means of that so-called "Great Power" - THE PRESS, WHICH, WITH A FEW
EXCEPTIONS THAT MAY BE DISREGARDED, IS ALREADY ENTIRELY IN OUR HANDS.
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.

 

[Speedy]

PROTOCOL No. 8
1. We must arm ourselves with all the weapons which our opponents might employ
against us. We must search out in the very finest shades of expression and the knotty
points of the lexicon of law justification for those cases where we shall have to
pronounce judgments that might appear abnormally audacious and unjust, for it is
important that these resolutions should be set forth in expressions that shall seem to
be the most exalted moral principles cast into legal form. 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 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
