Who Know About The Protocols Of Zion?

[Speedy]

Jews. Around us again will be a whole constellation of bankers, industrialists,
capitalists and - THE MAIN THING - MILLIONAIRES, BECAUSE IN SUBSTANCE
EVERYTHING WILL BE SETTLED BY THE QUESTION OF FIGURES.
3. For a time, until there will no longer be any risk in entrusting responsible posts in
our State to our brother-Jews, we shall put them in the hands of persons whose past
and reputation are such that between them and the people lies an abyss, persons
who, in case of disobedience to our instructions, must face criminal charges or
disappear - this in order to make them defend our interests to their last gasp.

PROTOCOL No. 9
1. In applying our principles let attention be paid to the character of the people in
whose country you live and act; a general, identical application of them, until such
time as the people shall have been re-educated to our pattern, cannot have success.
But by approaching their application cautiously you will see that not a decade will pass
before the most stubborn character will change and we shall add a new people to the
ranks of those already subdued by us.
2. The words of the liberal, which are in effect the words of our masonic watchword,
namely, "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," will, when we come into our kingdom, be
changed by us into words no longer of a watchword, but only an expression of
idealism, namely, into "The right of liberty, the duty of equality, the ideal of
brotherhood." That is how we shall put it, - and so we shall catch the bull by the
horns ... DE FACTO we have already wiped out every kind of rule except our own,
although DE JURE there still remain a good many of them. Nowadays, if any States
raise a protest against us it is only PRO FORMA at our discretion and by our direction,
for THEIR ANTI-SEMITISM IS INDISPENSABLE TO US FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF OUR
LESSER BRETHREN. I will not enter into further explanations, for this matter has
formed the subject of repeated discussions amongst us.
JEWISH SUPER-STATE
3. For us there are not checks to limit the range of our activity. Our Super-
Government subsists in extra-legal conditions which are described in the accepted
terminology by the energetic and forcible word - Dictatorship. I am in a position to tell
you with a clear conscience that at the proper time we, the law-givers, shall execute
judgment and sentence, we shall slay and we shall spare, we, as head of all our
troops, are mounted on the steed of the leader. We rule by force of will, because in
our hands are the fragments of a once powerful party, now vanquished by us. AND
THE WEAPONS IN OUR HANDS ARE LIMITLESS AMBITIONS, BURNING GREEDINESS,
MERCILESS VENGEANCE, HATREDS AND MALICE.
4. IT IS FROM US THAT THE ALL-ENGULFING TERROR PROCEEDS. WE HAVE IN
OUR SERVICE PERSONS OF ALL OPINIONS, OF ALL DOCTRINES, RESTORATING
MONARCHISTS, DEMAGOGUES, SOCIALISTS, COMMUNISTS, AND UTOPIAN
DREAMERS OF EVERY KIND. We have harnessed them all to the task: EACH ONE OF
THEM ON HIS OWN ACCOUNT IS BORING AWAY AT THE LAST REMNANTS OF

 

[Speedy]

AUTHORITY, IS STRIVING TO OVERTHROW ALL ESTABLISHED FORM OF ORDER. By
these acts all States are in torture; they exhort to tranquility, are ready to sacrifice
everything for peace: BUT WE WILL NOT GIVE THEM PEACE UNTIL THEY OPENLY
ACKNOWLEDGE OUR INTERNATIONAL SUPER-GOVERNMENT, AND WITH
SUBMISSIVENESS.
5. The people have raised a howl about the necessity of settling the question of
Socialism by way of an international agreement. DIVISION INTO FRACTIONAL
PARTIES HAS GIVEN THEM INTO OUR HANDS, FOR, IN ORDER TO CARRY ON A
CONTESTED STRUGGLE ONE MUST HAVE MONEY, AND THE MONEY IS ALL IN OUR
HANDS.
6. We might have reason to apprehend a union between the "clear-sighted" force of
the GOY kings on their thrones and the "blind" force of the GOY mobs, but we have
taken all the needful measure against any such possibility: between the one and the
other force we have erected a bulwark in the shape of a mutual terror between them.
In this way the blind force of the people remains our support and we, and we only,
shall provide them with a leader and, of course, direct them along the road that leads
to our goal.
7. In order that the hand of the blind mob may not free itself from our guiding
hand, we must every now and then enter into close communion with it, if not actually
in person, at any rate through some of the most trusty of our brethren. When we are
acknowledged as the only authority we shall discuss with the people personally on the
market, places, and we shall instruct them on questings of the political in such wise as
may turn them in the direction that suits us.
8. Who is going to verify what is taught in the village schools? But what an envoy of
the government or a king on his throne himself may say cannot but become
immediately known to the whole State, for it will be spread abroad by the voice of the
people.
9. In order to annihilate the institutions of the GOYIM before it is time we have
touched them with craft and delicacy, and have taken hold of the ends of the springs
which move their mechanism. These springs lay in a strict but just sense of order; we
have replaced them by the chaotic license of liberalism. We have got our hands into
the administration of the law, into the conduct of elections, into the press, into liberty
of the person, BUT PRINCIPALLY INTO EDUCATION AND TRAINING AS BEING THE
CORNERSTONES OF A FREE EXISTENCE.
CHRISTIAN YOUTH DESTROYED
10. WE HAVE FOOLED, BEMUSED AND CORRUPTED THE YOUTH OF THE "GOYIM"
BY REARING THEM IN PRINCIPLES AND THEORIES WHICH ARE KNOWN TO US TO BE
FALSE ALTHOUGH IT IS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN INCULCATED.
11. Above the existing laws without substantially altering them, and by merely
twisting them into contradictions of interpretations, we have erected something
grandiose in the way of results. These results found expression in the fact that the
INTERPRETATIONS MASKED THE LAW: afterwards they entirely hid them from the
eyes of the governments owing to the impossibility of making anything out of the
tangled web of legislation.

 

[Speedy]

12. This is the origin of the theory of course of arbitration.
13. You may say that the GOYIM will rise upon us, arms in hand, if they guess what
is going on before the time comes; but in the West we have against this a maneuver
of such appalling terror that the very stoutest hearts quail - the undergrounds,
metropolitans, those subterranean corridors which, before the time comes, will be
driven under all the capitals and from whence those capitals will be blown into the air
with all their organizations and archives.

 

[Speedy]

PROTOCOL No. 10
1. To-day I begin with a repetition of what I said before, and I BEG YOU TO BEAR
IN MIND THAT GOVERNMENTS AND PEOPLE ARE CONTENT IN THE POLITICAL WITH
OUTSIDE APPEARANCES. And how, indeed, are the GOYIM to perceive the underlying
meaning of things when their representatives give the best of their energies to
enjoying themselves? For our policy it is of the greatest importance to take cognizance
of this detail; it will be of assistance to us when we come to consider the division of
authority of property, of the dwelling, of taxation (the idea of concealed taxes), of the
reflex force of the laws. All these questions are such as ought not to be touched upon
directly and openly before the people. In cases where it is indispensable to touch upon
them they must not be categorically named, it must merely be declared without
detailed exposition that the principles of contemporary law are acknowledged by us.
The reason of keeping silence in this respect is that by not naming a principle we leave
ourselves freedom of action, to drop this or that out of it without attracting notice; if
they were all categorically named they would all appear to have been already given.
2. The mob cherishes a special affection and respect for the geniuses of political
power and accepts all their deeds of violence with the admiring response: "rascally,
well, yes, it is rascally, but it's clever! ... a trick, if you like, but how craftily played,
how magnificently done, what impudent audacity!" ...
OUR GOAL - WORLD POWER
3. We count upon attracting all nations to the task of erecting the new fundamental
structure, the project for which has been drawn up by us. This is why, before
everything, it is indispensable for us to arm ourselves and to store up in ourselves that
absolutely reckless audacity and irresistible might of the spirit which in the person of
our active workers will break down all hindrances on our way.
4. WHEN WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED OUR COUP D'ETAT WE SHALL SAY THEN TO
THE VARIOUS PEOPLES: "EVERYTHING HAS GONE TERRIBLY BADLY, ALL HAVE BEEN
WORN OUT WITH SUFFERING. WE ARE DESTROYING THE CAUSES OF YOUR TORMENT
- NATIONALITIES, FRONTIERS, DIFFERENCES OF COINAGES. YOU ARE AT LIBERTY,
OF COURSE, TO PRONOUNCE SENTENCE UPON US, BUT CAN IT POSSIBLY BE A JUST
ONE IF IT IS CONFIRMED BY YOU BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY TRIAL OF WHAT WE ARE
OFFERING YOU." ... THEN WILL THE MOB EXALT US AND BEAR US UP IN THEIR
HANDS IN A UNANIMOUS TRIUMPH OF HOPES AND EXPECTATIONS. VOTING, WHICH
WE HAVE MADE THE INSTRUMENT WHICH WILL SET US ON THE THRONE OF THE WORLD BY TEACHING EVEN THE VERY SMALLEST UNITS OF MEMBERS OF THE HUMAN
RACE TO VOTE BY MEANS OF MEETINGS AND AGREEMENTS BY GROUPS, WILL THEN
HAVE SERVED ITS PURPOSES AND WILL PLAY ITS PART THEN FOR THE LAST TIME BY
A UNANIMITY OF DESIRE TO MAKE CLOSE ACQUAINTANCE WITH US BEFORE
CONDEMNING US.
5. TO SECURE THIS WE MUST HAVE EVERYBODY VOTE WITHOUT DISTINCTION OF
CLASSES AND QUALIFICATIONS, in order to establish an absolute majority, which
cannot be got from the educated propertied classes. In this way, by inculcating in all a
sense of self-importance, we shall destroy among the GOYIM the importance of the
family and its educational value and remove the possibility of individual minds splitting
off, for the mob, handled by us, will not let them come to the front nor even give them
a hearing; it is accustomed to listen to us only who pay it for obedience and attention.
In this way we shall create a blind, mighty force which will never be in a position to
move in any direction without the guidance of our agents set at its head by us as
leaders of the mob. The people will submit to this regime because it will know that
upon these leaders will depend its earnings, gratifications and the receipt of all kinds
of benefits.
6. A scheme of government should come ready made from one brain, because it
will never be clinched firmly if it is allowed to be split into fractional parts in the minds
of many. It is allowable, therefore, for us to have cognizance of the scheme of action
but not to discuss it lest we disturb its artfulness, the interdependence of its
component parts, the practical force of the secret meaning of each clause. To discuss
and make alterations in a labor of this kind by means of numerous votings is to
impress upon it the stamp of all ratiocinations and misunderstandings which have
failed to penetrate the depth and nexus of its plotting. We want our schemes to be
forcible and suitably concocted. Therefore WE OUGHT NOT TO FLING THE WORK OF
GENIUS OF OUR GUIDE to the fangs of the mob or even of a select company.
7. These schemes will not turn existing institutions upside down just yet. They will
only effect changes in their economy and consequently in the whole combined
movement of their progress, which will thus be directed along the paths laid down in
our schemes.
POISON OF LIBERALISM
8. Under various names there exists in all countries approximately one and the
same thing. Representation, Ministry, Senate, State Council, Legislative and Executive
Corps. I need not explain to you the mechanism of the relation of these institutions to
one another, because you are aware of all that; only take note of the fact that each of
the above-named institutions corresponds to some important function of the State,
and I would beg you to remark that the word "important" I apply not to the institution
but to the function, consequently it is not the institutions which are important but their
functions. These institutions have divided up among themselves all the functions of
government - administrative, legislative, executive, wherefore they have come to
operate as do the organs in the human body. If we injure one part in the machinery of
State, the State falls sick, like a human body, and ... will die.
9. When we introduced into the State organism the poison of Liberalism its whole
political complexion underwent a change. States have been seized with a mortal illness
- blood poisoning. All that remains is to await the end of their death agony.

 

[Speedy]

10. Liberalism produced Constitutional States, which took the place of what was the
only safeguard of the GOYIM, namely, Despotism; and A CONSTITUTION, AS YOU
WELL KNOW, IS NOTHING ELSE BUT A SCHOOL OF DISCORDS, misunderstandings,
quarrels, disagreements, fruitless party agitations, party whims - in a word, a school
of everything that serves to destroy the personality of State activity. THE TRIBUNE OF
THE "TALKERICS" HAS, NO LESS EFFECTIVELY THAN THE PRESS, CONDEMNED THE
RULERS TO INACTIVITY AND IMPOTENCE, and thereby rendered them useless and
superfluous, for which reason indeed they have been in many countries deposed.
THEN IT WAS THAT THE ERA OF REPUBLICS BECOME POSSIBLE OF REALIZATION;
AND THEN IT WAS THAT WE REPLACED THE RULER BY A CARICATURE OF A
GOVERNMENT - BY A PRESIDENT, TAKEN FROM THE MOB, FROM THE MIDST OF OUR
PUPPET CREATURES, OR SLAVES. This was the foundation of the mine which we have
laid under the GOY people, I should rather say, under the GOY peoples.
WE NAME PRESIDENTS
11. In the near future we shall establish the responsibility of presidents.
12. By that time we shall be in a position to disregard forms in carrying through
matters for which our impersonal puppet will be responsible. What do we care if the
ranks of those striving for power should be thinned, if there should arise a deadlock
from the impossibility of finding presidents, a deadlock which will finally disorganize
the country? ...
13. In order that our scheme may produce this result we shall arrange elections in
favor of such presidents as have in their past some dark, undiscovered stain, some
"Panama" or other - then they will be trustworthy agents for the accomplishment of
our plans out of fear of revelations and from the natural desire of everyone who has
attained power, namely, the retention of the privileges, advantages and honor
connected with the office of president. The chamber of deputies will provide cover for,
will protect, will elect presidents, but we shall take from it the right to propose new, or
make changes in existing laws, for this right will be given by us to the responsible
president, a puppet in our hands. Naturally, the authority of the presidents will then
become a target for every possible form of attack, but we shall provide him with a
means of self-defense in the right of an appeal to the people, for the decision of the
people over the heads of their representatives, that is to say, an appeal to that some
blind slave of ours - the majority of the mob. Independently of this we shall invest the
president with the right of declaring a state of war. We shall justify this last right on
the ground that the president as chief of the whole army of the country must have it
at his disposal, in case of need for the defense of the new republican constitution, the
right to defend which will belong to him as the responsible representative of this
constitution.
14. It is easy to understand them in these conditions the key of the shrine will lie in
our hands, and no one outside ourselves will any longer direct the force of legislation.
15. Besides this we shall, with the introduction of the new republican constitution,
take from the Chamber the right of interpolation on government measures, on the
pretext of preserving political secrecy, and, further, we shall by the new constitution
reduce the number of representatives to a minimum, thereby proportionately reducing
political passions and the passion for politics. If, however, they should, which is hardly
to be expected, burst into flame, even in this minimum, we shall nullify them by a
stirring appeal and a reference to the majority of the whole people ... Upon the
president will depend the appointment of presidents and vice-presidents of the Chamber and the Senate. Instead of constant sessions of Parliaments we shall reduce
their sittings to a few months. Moreover, the president, as chief of the executive
power, will have the right to summon and dissolve Parliament, and, in the latter case,
to prolong the time for the appointment of a new parliamentary assembly. But in order
that the consequences of all these acts which in substance are illegal, should not,
prematurely for our plans, upon the responsibility established by use of the president,
WE SHALL INSTIGATE MINISTERS AND OTHER OFFICIALS OF THE HIGHER
ADMINISTRATION ABOUT THE PRESIDENT TO EVADE HIS DISPOSITIONS BY TAKING
MEASURES OF THEIR OWN, for doing which they will be made the scapegoats in his
place ... This part we especially recommend to be given to be played by the Senate,
the Council of State, or the Council of Ministers, but not to an individual official.
16. The president will, at our discretion, interpret the sense of such of the existing
laws as admit of various interpretation; he will further annul them when we indicate to
him the necessity to do so, besides this, he will have the right to propose temporary
laws, and even new departures in the government constitutional working, the pretext
both for the one and the other being the requirements for the supreme welfare of the
State.
WE SHALL DESTROY
17. By such measure we shall obtain the power of destroying little by little, step by
step, all that at the outset when we enter on our rights, we are compelled to introduce
into the constitutions of States to prepare for the transition to an imperceptible
abolition of every kind of constitution, and then the time is come to turn every form of
government into OUR DESPOTISM.
18. The recognition of our despot may also come before the destruction of the
constitution; the moment for this recognition will come when the peoples, utterly
wearied by the irregularities and incompetence - a matter which we shall arrange for -
of their rulers, will clamor: "Away with them and give us one king over all the earth
who will unite us and annihilate the causes of disorders - frontiers, nationalities,
religions, State debts - who will give us peace and quiet which we cannot find under
our rulers and representatives."
19. But you yourselves perfectly well know that TO PRODUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF
THE EXPRESSION OF SUCH WISHES BY ALL THE NATIONS IT IS INDISPENSABLE TO
TROUBLE IN ALL COUNTRIES THE PEOPLE'S RELATIONS WITH THEIR GOVERNMENTS
SO AS TO UTTERLY EXHAUST HUMANITY WITH DISSENSION, HATRED, STRUGGLE,
ENVY AND EVEN BY THE USE OF TORTURE, BY STARVATION, BY THE INOCULATION
OF DISEASES, BY WANT, SO THAT THE "GOYIM" SEE NO OTHER ISSUE THAN TO TAKE
REFUGE IN OUR COMPLETE SOVEREIGNTY IN MONEY AND IN ALL ELSE.
20. But if we give the nations of the world a breathing space the moment we long
for is hardly likely ever to arrive.

 

[Speedy]

PROTOCOL No. 11

1. The State Council has been, as it were, the emphatic expression of the authority
of the ruler: it will be, as the "show" part of the Legislative Corps, what may be called
the editorial committee of the laws and decrees of the ruler.
2. This, then, is the program of the new constitution. We shall make Law, Right and
Justice (1) in the guise of proposals to the Legislative Corps, (2) by decrees of the
president under the guise of general regulations, of orders of the Senate and of
resolutions of the State Council in the guise of ministerial orders, (3) and in case a
suitable occasion should arise - in the form of a revolution in the State.
3. Having established approximately the MODUS AGENDI we will occupy ourselves
with details of those combinations by which we have still to complete the revolution in
the course of the machinery of State in the direction already indicated. By these
combinations I mean the freedom of the Press, the right of association, freedom of
conscience, the voting principle, and many another that must disappear for ever from
the memory of man, or undergo a radical alteration the day after the promulgation of
the new constitution. It is only at the moment that we shall be able at once to
announce all our orders, for, afterwards, every noticeable alteration will be dangerous,
for the following reasons: if this alteration be brought in with harsh severity and in a
sense of severity and limitations, it may lead to a feeling of despair caused by fear of
new alterations in the same direction; if, on the other hand, it be brought in a sense of
further indulgences it will be said that we have recognized our own wrong-doing and
this will destroy the prestige of the infallibility of our authority, or else it will be said
that we have become alarmed and are compelled to show a yielding disposition, for
which we shall get no thanks because it will be supposed to be compulsory ... Both the
one and the other are injurious to the prestige of the new constitution. What we want
is that from the first moment of its promulgation, while the peoples of the world are
still stunned by the accomplished fact of the revolution, still in a condition of terror
and uncertainty, they should recognize once for all that we are so strong, so
inexpugnable, so super-abundantly filled with power, that in no case shall we take any
account of them, and so far from paying any attention to their opinions or wishes, we
are ready and able to crush with irresistible power all expression or manifestation
thereof at every moment and in every place, that we have seized at once everything
we wanted and shall in no case divide our power with them ... Then in fear and
trembling they will close their eyes to everything, and be content to await what will be
the end of it all.
WE ARE WOLVES
4. The GOYIM are a flock of sheep, and we are their wolves. And you know what
happens when the wolves get hold of the flock? ....
5. There is another reason also why they will close their eyes: for we shall keep
promising them to give back all the liberties we have taken away as soon as we have
quelled the enemies of peace and tamed all parties ....
6. It is not worth to say anything about how long a time they will be kept waiting
for this return of their liberties ....
7. For what purpose then have we invented this whole policy and insinuated it into
the minds of the GOY without giving them any chance to examine its underlying
meaning? For what, indeed, if not in order to obtain in a roundabout way what is for
our scattered tribe unattainable by the direct road? It is this which has served as the

 

[Speedy]

basis for our organization of SECRET MASONRY WHICH IS NOT KNOWN TO, AND AIMS
WHICH ARE NOT EVEN SO MUCH AS SUSPECTED BY, THESE "GOY" CATTLE,
ATTRACTED BY US INTO THE "SHOW" ARMY OF MASONIC LODGES IN ORDER TO
THROW DUST IN THE EYES OF THEIR FELLOWS.
8. God has granted to us, His Chosen People, the gift of the dispersion, and in this
which appears in all eyes to be our weakness, has come forth all our strength, which
has now brought us to the threshold of sovereignty over all the world.
9. There now remains not much more for us to build up upon the foundation we
have laid.

PROTOCOL No. 12
1. The word "freedom," which can be interpreted in various ways, is defined by us
as follows -
2. Freedom is the right to do what which the law allows. This interpretation of the
word will at the proper time be of service to us, because all freedom will thus be in our
hands, since the laws will abolish or create only that which is desirable for us
according to the aforesaid program.
3. We shall deal with the press in the following way: what is the part played by the
press to-day? It serves to excite and inflame those passions which are needed for our
purpose or else it serves selfish ends of parties. It is often vapid, unjust, mendacious,
and the majority of the public have not the slightest idea what ends the press really
serves. We shall saddle and bridle it with a tight curb: we shall do the same also with
all productions of the printing press, for where would be the sense of getting rid of the
attacks of the press if we remain targets for pamphlets and books? The produce of
publicity, which nowadays is a source of heavy expense owing to the necessity of
censoring it, will be turned by us into a very lucrative source of income to our State:
we shall law on it a special stamp tax and require deposits of caution-money before
permitting the establishment of any organ of the press or of printing offices; these will
then have to guarantee our government against any kind of attack on the part of the
press. For any attempt to attack us, if such still be possible, we shall inflict fines
without mercy. Such measures as stamp tax, deposit of caution-money and fines
secured by these deposits, will bring in a huge income to the government. It is true
that party organs might not spare money for the sake of publicity, but these we shall
shut up at the second attack upon us. No one shall with impunity lay a finger on the
aureole of our government infallibility. The pretext for stopping any publication will be
the alleged plea that it is agitating the public mind without occasion or justification. I
BEG YOU TO NOTE THAT AMONG THOSE MAKING ATTACKS UPON US WILL ALSO BE
ORGANS ESTABLISHED BY US, BUT THEY WILL ATTACK EXCLUSIVELY POINTS THAT
WE HAVE PRE-DETERMINED TO ALTER.
WE CONTROL THE PRESS
4. NOT A SINGLE ANNOUNCEMENT WILL REACH THE PUBLIC WITHOUT OUR

 

[Speedy]

CONTROL. Even now this is already being attained by us inasmuch as all news items
are received by a few agencies, in whose offices they are focused from all parts of the
world. These agencies will then be already entirely ours and will give publicity only to
what we dictate to them.
5. If already now we have contrived to possess ourselves of the minds of the GOY
communities to such an extent the they all come near looking upon the events of the
world through the colored glasses of those spectacles we are setting astride their
noses; if already now there is not a single State where there exist for us any barriers
to admittance into what GOY stupidity calls State secrets: what will our positions be
then, when we shall be acknowledged supreme lords of the world in the person of our
king of all the world ....
6. Let us turn again to the FUTURE OF THE PRINTING PRESS. Every one desirous of
being a publisher, librarian, or printer, will be obliged to provide himself with the
diploma instituted therefore, which, in case of any fault, will be immediately
impounded. With such measures THE INSTRUMENT OF THOUGHT WILL BECOME AN
EDUCATIVE MEANS ON THE HANDS OF OUR GOVERNMENT, WHICH WILL NO LONGER
ALLOW THE MASS OF THE NATION TO BE LED ASTRAY IN BY-WAYS AND FANTASIES
ABOUT THE BLESSINGS OF PROGRESS. Is there any one of us who does not know that
these phantom blessings are the direct roads to foolish imaginings which give birth to
anarchical relations of men among themselves and towards authority, because
progress, or rather the idea of progress, has introduced the conception of every kind
of emancipation, but has failed to establish its limits .... All the so-called liberals are
anarchists, if not in fact, at any rate in thought. Every one of them in hunting after
phantoms of freedom, and falling exclusively into license, that is, into the anarchy of
protest for the sake of protest ....
FREE PRESS DESTROYED
7. We turn to the periodical press. We shall impose on it, as on all printed matter,
stamp taxes per sheet and deposits of caution- money, and books of less than 30
sheets will pay double. We shall reckon them as pamphlets in order, on the one hand,
to reduce the number of magazines, which are the worst form of printed poison, and,
on the other, in order that this measure may force writers into such lengthy
productions that they will be little read, especially as they will be costly. At the same
time what we shall publish ourselves to influence mental development in the direction
laid down for our profit will be cheap and will be read voraciously. The tax will bring
vapid literary ambitions within bounds and the liability to penalties will make literary
men dependent upon us. And if there should be any found who are desirous of writing
against us, they will not find any person eager to print their productions in print the
publisher or printer will have to apply to the authorities for permission to do so. Thus
we shall know beforehand of all tricks preparing against us and shall nullify them by
getting ahead with explanations on the subject treated of.
8. Literature and journalism are two of the most important educative forces, and
therefore our government will become proprietor of the majority of the journals. This
will neutralize the injurious influence of the privately-owned press and will put us in
possession of a tremendous influence upon the public mind .... If we give permits for
ten journals, we shall ourselves found thirty, and so on in the same proportion. This,
however, must in no wise be suspected by the public. For which reason all journals
published by us will be of the most opposite, in appearance, tendencies and opinions,
thereby creating confidence in us and bringing over to us quite unsuspicious
opponents, who will thus fall into our trap and be rendered harmless.

 

[Speedy]

9. In the front rank will stand organs of an official character. They will always stand
guard over our interests, and therefore their influence will be comparatively
insignificant.
10. In the second rank will be the semi-official organs, whose part it will be to
attack the tepid and indifferent.
11. In the third rank we shall set up our own, to all appearance, off position, which,
in at least one of its organs, will present what looks like the very antipodes to us. Our
real opponents at heart will accept this simulated opposition as their own and will
show us their cards.
12. All our newspapers will be of all possible complexions - aristocratic, republican,
revolutionary, even anarchical - for so long, of course, as the constitution exists ....
Like the Indian idol "Vishnu" they will have a hundred hands, and every one of them
will have a finger on any one of the public opinions as required. When a pulse quickens
these hands will lead opinion in the direction of our aims, for an excited patient loses
all power of judgment and easily yields to suggestion. Those fools who will think they
are repeating the opinion of a newspaper of their own camp will be repeating our
opinion or any opinion that seems desirable for us. In the vain belief that they are
following the organ of their party they will, in fact, follow the flag which we hang out
for them.
13. In order to direct our newspaper militia in this sense we must take special and
minute care in organizing this matter. Under the title of central department of the
press we shall institute literary gatherings at which our agents will without attracting
attention issue the orders and watchwords of the day. By discussing and
controverting, but always superficially, without touching the essence of the matter,
our organs will carry on a sham fight fusillade with the official newspapers solely for
the purpose of giving occasion for us to express ourselves more fully than could well
be done from the outset in official announcements, whenever, of course, that is to our
advantage.
14. THESE ATTACKS UPON US WILL ALSO SERVE ANOTHER PURPOSE, NAMELY,
THAT OUR SUBJECTS WILL BE CONVINCED TO THE EXISTENCE OF FULL FREEDOM OF
SPEECH AND SO GIVE OUR AGENTS AN OCCASION TO AFFIRM THAT ALL ORGANS
WHICH OPPOSE US ARE EMPTY BABBLERS, since they are incapable of finding any
substantial objections to our orders.
ONLY LIES PRINTED
15. Methods of organization like these, imperceptible to the public eye but
absolutely sure, are the best calculated to succeed in bringing the attention and the
confidence of the public to the side of our government. Thanks to such methods we
shall be in a position as from time to time may be required, to excite or to tranquilize
the public mind on political questions, to persuade or to confuse, printing now truth,
now lies, facts or their contradictions, according as they may be well or ill received,
always very cautiously feeling our ground before stepping upon it .... WE SHALL HAVE
A SURE TRIUMPH OVER OUR OPPONENTS SINCE THEY WILL NOT HAVE AT THEIR
DISPOSITION ORGANS OF THE PRESS IN WHICH THEY CAN GIVE FULL AND FINAL
EXPRESSION TO THEIR VIEWS owing to the aforesaid methods of dealing with the
press. We shall not even need to refute them except very superficially.

 

[Speedy]

16. Trial shots like these, fired by us in the third rank of our press, in case of need,
will be energetically refuted by us in our semi-official organs.
17. Even nowadays, already, to take only the French press, there are forms which
reveal masonic solidarity in acting on the watchword: all organs of the press are
bound together by professional secrecy; like the augurs of old, not one of their
numbers will give away the secret of his sources of information unless it be resolved to
make announcement of them. Not one journalist will venture to betray this secret, for
not one of them is ever admitted to practice literature unless his whole past has some
disgraceful sore or other .... These sores would be immediately revealed. So long as
they remain the secret of a few the prestige of the journalist attacks the majority of
the country - the mob follow after him with enthusiasm.
18. Our calculations are especially extended to the provinces. It is indispensable for
us to inflame there those hopes and impulses with which we could at any moment fall
upon the capital, and we shall represent to the capitals that these expressions are the
independent hopes and impulses of the provinces. Naturally, the source of them will
be always one and the same - ours. WHAT WE NEED IS THAT, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS
WE ARE IN THE PLENITUDE POWER, THE CAPITALS SHOULD FIND THEMSELVES
STIFLED BY THE PROVINCIAL OPINION OF THE NATIONS, I.E., OF A MAJORITY
ARRANGED BY OUR AGENTUR. What we need is that at the psychological moment the
capitals should not be in a position to discuss an accomplished fact for the simple
reason, if for no other, that it has been accepted by the public opinion of a majority in
the provinces. 19. WHEN WE ARE IN THE PERIOD OF THE NEW REGIME
TRANSITIONAL TO THAT OF OUR ASSUMPTION OF FULL SOVEREIGNTY WE MUST NOT
ADMIT ANY REVELATION BY THE PRESS OF ANY FORM OF PUBLIC DISHONESTY; IT IS
NECESSARY THAT THE NEW REGIME SHOULD BE THOUGHT TO HAVE SO PERFECTLY
CONTENDED EVERYBODY THAT EVEN CRIMINALITY HAS DISAPPEARED ... Cases of
the manifestation of criminality should remain known only to their victims and to
chance witnesses - no more.

1. The need for daily forces the GOYIM to keep silence and be our humble servants.
Agents taken on to our press from among the GOYIM will at our orders discuss
anything which it is inconvenient for us to issue directly in official documents, and we
meanwhile, quietly amid the din of the discussion so raised, shall simply take and
carry through such measures as we wish and then offer them to the public as an
accomplished fact. No one will dare to demand the abrogation of a matter once
settled, all the more so as it will be represented as an improvement ... And
immediately the press will distract the current of thought towards, new questions,
(have we not trained people always to be seeking something new?). Into the
discussions of these new questions will throw themselves those of the brainless
dispensers of fortunes who are not able even now to understand that they have not
the remotest conception about the matters which they undertake to discuss. Questions
of the political are unattainable for any save those who have guided it already for
many ages, the creators.
2. From all this you will see that in seeming the opinion of the mob we are only facilitating the working of our machinery, and you may remark that it is not for actions
but for words issued by us on this or that question that we seem to seek approval. We
are constantly making public declaration that we are guided in all our undertakings by
the hope, joined to the conviction, that we are serving the common weal.
WE DECEIVE WORKERS
3. In order to distract people who may be too troublesome from discussions of
questions of the political we are now putting forward what we allege to be new
questions of the political, namely, questions of industry. In this sphere let them
discuss themselves silly! The masses are agreed to remain inactive, to take a rest
from what they suppose to be political (which we trained them to in order to use them
as a means of combating the GOY governments) only on condition of being found new
employments, in which we are prescribing them something that looks like the same
political object. In order that the masses themselves may not guess what they are
about WE FURTHER DISTRACT THEM WITH AMUSEMENTS, GAMES, PASTIMES,
PASSIONS, PEOPLE'S PALACES .... SOON WE SHALL BEGIN THROUGH THE PRESS TO
PROPOSE COMPETITIONS IN ART, IN SPORT IN ALL KINDS: these interests will finally
distract their minds from questions in which we should find ourselves compelled to
oppose them. Growing more and more disaccustomed to reflect and form any opinions
of their own, people will begin to talk in the same tone as we because we alone shall
be offering them new directions for thought ... of course through such persons as will
not be suspected of solidarity with us.
4. The part played by the liberals, utopian dreamers, will be finally played out when
our government is acknowledged. Till such time they will continue to do us good
service. Therefore we shall continue to direct their minds to all sorts of vain
conceptions of fantastic theories, new and apparently progressive: for have we not
with complete success turned the brainless heads of the GOYIM with progress, till
there is not among the GOYIM one mind able to perceive that under this word lies a
departure from truth in all cases where it is not a question of material inventions, like
a fallacious idea, serves to obscure truth so that none may know it except us, the
Chosen of God, its guardians.
5. When, we come into our kingdom our orators will expound great problems which
have turned humanity upside down in order to bring it at the end under our beneficent
rule.
6. Who will ever suspect then that ALL THESE PEOPLES WERE STAGE-MANAGED BY
US ACCORDING TO A POLITICAL PLAN WHICH NO ONE HAS SO MUCH AS GUESSED
AT IN THE COURSE OF MANY CENTURIES?

PROTOCOL No. 14
1. When we come into our kingdom it will be undesirable for us that there should
exist any other religion than ours of the One God with whom our destiny is bound up
by our position as the Chosen People and through whom our same destiny is united
with the destinies of the world. We must therefore sweep away all other forms of belief. If this gives birth to the atheists whom we see to-day, it will not, being only a
transitional stage, interfere with our views, but will serve as a warning for those
generations which will hearken to our preaching of the religion of Moses, that, by its
stable and thoroughly elaborated system has brought all the peoples of the world into
subjection to us. Therein we shall emphasize its mystical right, on which, as we shall
say, all its educative power is based .... Then at every possible opportunity we shall
publish articles in which we shall make comparisons between our beneficent rule and
those of past ages. The blessing of tranquility, though it be a tranquility forcibly
brought about by centuries of agitation, will throw into higher relief the benefits to
which we shall point. The errors of the GOYIM governments will be depicted by us in
the most vivid hues. We shall implant such an abhorrence of them that the peoples
will prefer tranquility in a state of serfdom to those rights of vaunted freedom which
have tortured humanity and exhausted the very sources of human existence, sources
which have been exploited by a mob of rascally adventurers who know not what they
do .... USELESS CHANGES OF FORMS OF GOVERNMENT TO WHICH WE INSTIGATED
THE "GOYIM" WHEN WE WERE UNDERMINING THEIR STATE STRUCTURES, WILL HAVE
SO WEARIED THE PEOPLES BY THAT TIME THAT THEY WILL PREFER TO SUFFER
ANYTHING UNDER US RATHER THAN RUN THE RISK OF ENDURING AGAIN ALL THE
AGITATIONS AND MISERIES THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH.
WE SHALL FORBID CHRIST
2. At the same time we shall not omit to emphasize the historical mistakes of the
GOY governments which have tormented humanity for so many centuries by their lack
of understanding of everything that constitutes the true good of humanity in their
chase after fantastic schemes of social blessings, and have never noticed that these
schemes kept on producing a worse and never a better state of the universal relations
which are the basis of human life ....
3. The whole force of our principles and methods will lie in the fact that we shall
present them and expound them as a splendid contrast to the dead and decomposed
old order of things in social life.
4. Our philosophers will discuss all the shortcomings of the various beliefs of the
"GOYIM," BUT NO ONE WILL EVER BRING UNDER DISCUSSION OUR FAITH FROM ITS
TRUE POINT OF VIEW SINCE THIS WILL BE FULLY LEARNED BY NONE SAVE OURS
WHO WILL NEVER DARE TO BETRAY ITS SECRETS.
5. IN COUNTRIES KNOWN AS PROGRESSIVE AND ENLIGHTENED WE HAVE
CREATED A SENSELESS, FILTHY, ABOMINABLE LITERATURE. For some time after our
entrance to power we shall continue to encourage its existence in order to provide a
telling relief by contrast to the speeches, party program, which will be distributed from
exalted quarters of ours .... Our wise men, trained to become leaders of the GOYIM,
will compose speeches, projects, memoirs, articles, which will be used by us to
influence the minds of the GOYIM, directing them towards such understanding and
forms of knowledge as have been determined by us.

 

[Speedy]

PROTOCOL No. 15
1. When we at last definitely come into our kingdom by the aid of COUPS D'ETAT
prepared everywhere for one and the same day, after definitely acknowledged (and
not a little time will pass before that comes about, perhaps even a whole century) we
shall make it our task to see that against us such things as plots shall no longer exist.
With this purpose we shall slay without mercy all who take arms (in hand) to oppose
our coming into our kingdom. Every kind of new institution of anything like a secret
society will also be punished with death; those of them which are now in existence,
are known to us, serve us and have served us, we shall disband and send into exile to
continents far removed from Europe. IN THIS WAY WE SHALL PROCEED WITH THOSE
"GOY" MASONS WHO KNOW TOO MUCH; such of these as we may for some reason
spare will be kept in constant fear of exile. We shall promulgate a law making all
former members of secret societies liable to exile from Europe as the center of rule.
2. Resolutions of our government will be final, without appeal.
3. In the GOY societies, in which we have planted and deeply rooted discord and
protestantism, the only possible way of restoring order is to employ merciless
measures that prove the direct force of authority: no regard must be paid to the
victims who fall, they suffer for the well-being of the future. The attainment of that
well-being, even at the expense of sacrifices, is the duty of any kind of government
that acknowledges as justification for its existence not only its privileges but its
obligations. The principal guarantee of stability of rule is to confirm the aureole of
power, and this aureole is attained only by such a majestic inflexibility of might as
shall carry on its face the emblems of inviolability from mystical causes - from the
choice of God. SUCH WAS, UNTIL RECENT TIMES, THE RUSSIAN AUTOCRACY, THE
ONE AND ONLY SERIOUS FOE WE HAD IN THE WORLD, WITHOUT COUNTING THE
PAPACY. Bear in mind the example when Italy, drenched with blood, never touched a
hair of the head of Sulla who had poured forth that blood: Sulla enjoyed an apotheosis
for his might in him, but his intrepid return to Italy ringed him round with inviolability.
The people do not lay a finger on him who hypnotizes them by his daring and strength
of mind.
SECRET SOCIETIES
4. Meantime, however, until we come into our kingdom, we shall act in the contrary
way: we shall create and multiply free masonic lodges in all the countries of the world,
absorb into them all who may become or who are prominent in public activity, for
these lodges we shall find our principal intelligence office and means of influence. All
these lodges we shall bring under one central administration, known to us alone and to
all others absolutely unknown, which will be composed of our learned elders. The
lodges will have their representatives who will serve to screen the above-mentioned
administration of MASONRY and from whom will issue the watchword and program. In
these lodges we shall tie together the knot which binds together all revolutionary and
liberal elements. Their composition will be made up of all strata of society. The most
secret political plots will be known to us and fall under our guiding hands on the very
day of their conception. AMONG THE MEMBERS OF THESE LODGES WILL BE ALMOST
ALL THE AGENTS OF INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL POLICE since their service is for
us irreplaceable in the respect that the police is in a position not only to use its own
particular measures with the insubordinate, but also to screen our activities and
provide pretexts for discontents, ET CETERA.
5. The class of people who most willingly enter into secret societies are those who
live by their wits, careerists, and in general people, mostly light-minded, with whom
we shall have no difficulty in dealing and in using to wind up the mechanism of the machine devised by us. If this world grows agitated the meaning of that will be that
we have had to stir up in order to break up its too great solidarity. BUT IF THERE
SHOULD ARISE IN ITS MIDST A PLOT, THEN AT THE HEAD OF THAT PLOT WILL BE NO
OTHER THAN ONE OF OUR MOST TRUSTED SERVANTS. It is natural that we and no
other should lead MASONIC activities, for we know whither we are leading, we know
the final goal of every form of activity whereas the GOYIM have knowledge of nothing,
not even of the immediate effect of action; they put before themselves, usually, the
momentary reckoning of the satisfaction of their self- opinion in the accomplishment of
their thought without even remarking that the very conception never belonged to their
initiative but to our instigation of their thought ....
GENTILES ARE STUPID
6. The GOYIM enter the lodges out of curiosity or in the hope by their means to get
a nibble at the public pie, and some of them in order to obtain a hearing before the
public for their impracticable and groundless fantasies: they thirst for the emotion of
success and applause, of which we are remarkably generous. And the reason why we
give them this success is to make use of the nigh conceit of themselves to which it
gives birth, for that insensibly disposes them to assimilate our suggestions without
being on their guard against them in the fullness of their confidence that it is their own
infallibility which is giving utterance to their own thoughts and that it is impossible for
them to borrow those of others .... You cannot imagine to what extent the wisest of
the GOYIM can be brought to a state of unconscious naivete in the presence of this
condition of high conceit of themselves, and at the same time how easy it is to take
the heart out of them by the slightest ill-success, though it be nothing more than the
stoppage of the applause they had, and to reduce them to a slavish submission for the
sake of winning a renewal of success .... BY SO MUCH AS OURS DISREGARD SUCCESS
IF ONLY THEY CAN CARRY THROUGH THEIR PLANS, BY SO MUCH THE "GOYIM" ARE
WILLING TO SACRIFICE ANY PLANS ONLY TO HAVE SUCCESS. This psychology of
theirs materially facilitates for us the task of setting them in the required direction.
These tigers in appearance have the souls of sheep and the wind blows freely through
their heads. We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of
individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM .... They have never yet and they
never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the
most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the
world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting
individuality ....
7. If we have been able to bring them to such a pitch of stupid blindness is it not a
proof, and an amazingly clear proof, of the degree to which the mind of the GOYIM is
undeveloped in comparison with our mind? This it is, mainly, which guarantees our
success.
GENTILES ARE CATTLE
8. And how far-seeing were our learned elders in ancient times when they said that
to attain a serious end it behooves not to stop at any means or to count the victims
sacrificed for the sake of that end .... We have not counted the victims of the seed of
the GOY cattle, though we have sacrificed many of our own, but for that we have now
already given them such a position on the earth as they could not even have dreamed
of. The comparatively small numbers of the victims from the number of ours have
preserved our nationality from destruction.
9. Death is the inevitable end for all. It is better to bring that end nearer to those

 

[Speedy]

who hinder our affairs than to ourselves, to the founders of this affair. WE EXECUTE
MASONS IN SUCH WISE THAT NONE SAVE THE BROTHERHOOD CAN EVER HAVE A
SUSPICION OF IT, NOT EVEN THE VICTIMS THEMSELVES OF OUR DEATH SENTENCE,
THEY ALL DIE WHEN REQUIRED AS IF FROM A NORMAL KIND OF ILLNESS .....
Knowing this, even the brotherhood in its turn dare not protest. By such methods we
have plucked out of the midst of MASONRY the very root of protest against our
disposition. While preaching liberalism to the GOY we at the same time keep our own
people and our agents in a state of unquestioningly submission.
10. Under our influence the execution of the laws of the GOYIM has been reduced
to a minimum. The prestige of the law has been exploded by the liberal interpretations
introduced into this sphere. In the most important and fundamental affairs and
questions, JUDGES DECIDE AS WE DICTATE TO THEM, see matters in the light
wherewith we enfold them for the administration of the GOYIM, of course, through
persons who are our tools though we do not appear to have anything in common with
them - by newspaper opinion or by other means .... Even senators and the higher
administration accept our counsels. The purely brute mind of the GOYIM is incapable
of use for analysis and observation, and still more for the foreseeing whither a certain
manner of setting a question may tend.
11. In this difference in capacity for thought between the GOYIM and ourselves may
be clearly discerned the seal of our position as the Chosen People and of our higher
quality of humanness, in contradistinction to the brute mind of the GOYIM. Their eyes
are open, but see nothing before them and do not invent (unless perhaps, material
things). From this it is plain that nature herself has destined us to guide and rule the
world.
WE DEMAND SUBMISSION
12. When comes the time of our overt rule, the time to manifest its blessing, we
shall remake all legislatures, all our laws will be brief, plain, stable, without any kind of
interpretations, so that anyone will be in a position to know them perfectly. The main
feature which will run right through them is submission to orders, and this principle
will be carried to a grandiose height. Every abuse will then disappear in consequence
of the responsibility of all down to the lowest unit before the higher authority of the
representative of power. Abuses of power subordinate to this last instance will be so
mercilessly punished that none will be found anxious to try experiments with their own
powers. We shall follow up jealously every action of the administration on which
depends the smooth running of the machinery of the State, for slackness in this
produces slackness everywhere; not a single case of illegality or abuse of power will
be left without exemplary punishment.
13. Concealment of guilt, connivance between those in the service of the
administration - all this kind of evil will disappear after the very first examples of
severe punishment. The aureole of our power demands suitable, that is, cruel,
punishments for the slightest infringement, for the sake of gain, of its supreme
prestige. The sufferer, though his punishment may exceed his fault, will count as a
soldier falling on the administrative field of battle in the interest of authority, principle
and law, which do not permit that any of those who hold the reins of the public coach
should turn aside from the public highway to their own private paths. FOR EXAMPLES
OUR JUDGES WILL KNOW THAT WHENEVER THEY FEEL DISPOSED TO PLUME
THEMSELVES ON FOOLISH CLEMENCY THEY ARE VIOLATING THE LAW OF JUSTICE
WHICH IS INSTITUTED FOR THE EXEMPLARY EDIFICATION OF MEN BY PENALTIES
FOR LAPSES AND NOT FOR DISPLAY OF THE SPIRITUAL QUALITIES OF THE

 

[Speedy]

JUDGES .... Such qualities it is proper to show in private life, but not in a public square
which is the educationally basis of human life.
14. Our legal staff will serve not beyond the age of 55, firstly because old men
more obstinately hold to prejudiced opinions, and are less capable of submitting to
new directions, and secondly because this will give us the possibility by this measure
of securing elasticity in the changing of staff, which will thus the more easily bend
under our pressure: he who wishes to keep his place will have to give blind obedience
to deserve it. In general, our judges will be elected by us only from among those who
thoroughly understand that the part they have to play is to punish and apply laws and
not to dream about the manifestations of liberalism at the expense of the educational
scheme of the State, as the GOYIM in these days imagine it to be .... This method of
shuffling the staff will serve also to explode any collective solidarity of those in the
same service and will bind all to the interests of the government upon which their fate
will depend. The young generation of judges will be trained in certain views regarding
the inadmissibility of any abuses that might disturb the established order of our
subjects among themselves.
15. In these days the judges of the GOYIM create indulgences to every kind of
crimes, not having a just understanding of their office, because the rulers of the
present age in appointing judges to office take no care to inculcate in them a sense of
duty and consciousness of the matter which is demanded of them. As a brute beast
lets out its young in search of prey, so do the GOYIM give to them for what purpose
such place was created. This is the reason why their governments are being ruined by
their own forces through the acts of their own administration.
16. Let us borrow from the example of the results of these actions yet another
lesson for our government.
17. We shall root out liberalism from all the important strategic posts of our
government on which depends the training of subordinates for our State structure.
Such posts will fall exclusively to those who have been trained by us for administrative
rule. To the possible objection that the retirement of old servants will cost the
Treasury heavily, I reply, firstly, they will be provided with some private service in
place of what they lose, and, secondly, I have to remark that all the money in the
world will be concentrated in our hands, consequently it is not our government that
has to fear expense.
WE SHALL BE CRUEL
18. Our absolutism will in all things be logically consecutive and therefore in each
one of its decrees our supreme will be respected and unquestionably fulfilled: it will
ignore all murmurs, all discontents of every kind and will destroy to the root every
kind of manifestation of them in act by punishment of an exemplary character.
19. We shall abolish the right of cessation, which will be transferred exclusively to
our disposal - to the cognizance of him who rules, for we must not allow the
conception among the people of a thought that there could be such a thing as a
decision that is not right of judges set up by us. If, however, anything like this should
occur, we shall ourselves cassate the decision, but inflict therewith such exemplary
punishment on the judge for lack of understanding of his duty and the purpose of his
appointment as will prevent a repetition of such cases .... I repeat that it must be born
in mind that we shall know every step of our administration which only needs to be

 

[Speedy]

closely watched for the people to be content with us, for it has the right to demand
from a good government a good official.
20. OUR GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE THE APPEARANCE OF A PATRIARCHAL
PATERNAL GUARDIANSHIP ON THE PART OF OUR RULER. Our own nation and our
subjects will discern in his person a father caring for their every need, their every act,
their every inter-relation as subjects one with another, as well as their relations to the
ruler. They will then be so thoroughly imbued with the thought that it is impossible for
them to dispense with this wardship and guidance, if they wish to live in peace and
quiet, THAT THEY WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THE AUTOCRACY OF OUR RULER WITH A
DEVOTION BORDERING ON "APOTHEOSIS," especially when they are convinced that
those whom we set up do not put their own in place of authority, but only blindly
execute his dictates. They will be rejoiced that we have regulated everything in their
lives as is done by wise parents who desire to train children in the cause of duty and
submission. For the peoples of the world in regard to the secrets of our polity are ever
through the ages only children under age, precisely as are also their governments.
21. As you see, I found our despotism on right and duty: the right to compel the
execution of duty is the direct obligation of a government which is a father for its
subjects. It has the right of the strong that it may use it for the benefit of directing
humanity towards that order which is defined by nature, namely, submission.
Everything in the world is in a state of submission, if not to man, then to
circumstances or its own inner character, in all cases, to what is stronger. And so shall
we be this something stronger for the sake of good.
22. We are obliged without hesitation to sacrifice individuals, who commit a breach
of established order, for in the exemplary punishment of evil lies a great educational
problem.
23. When the King of Israel sets upon his sacred head the crown offered him by
Europe he will become patriarch of the world. The indispensable victims offered by him
in consequence of their suitability will never reach the number of victims offered in the
course of centuries by the mania of magnificence, the emulation between the GOY
governments.
24. Our King will be in constant communion with the peoples, making to them from
the tribune speeches which fame will in that same hour distribute over all the world.

PROTOCOL No. 16
1. In order to effect the destruction of all collective forces except ours we shall
emasculate the first stage of collectivism - the UNIVERSITIES, by reeducating them in
a new direction. THEIR OFFICIALS AND PROFESSORS WILL BE PREPARED FOR THEIR
BUSINESS BY DETAILED SECRET PROGRAMS OF ACTION FROM WHICH THEY WILL
NOT WITH IMMUNITY DIVERGE, NOT BY ONE IOTA. THEY WILL BE APPOINTED WITH
ESPECIAL PRECAUTION, AND WILL BE SO PLACED AS TO BE WHOLLY DEPENDENT
UPON THE GOVERNMENT.
2. We shall exclude from the course of instruction State Law as also all that
concerns the political question. These subjects will be taught to a few dozen of persons
chosen for their preeminent capacities from among the number of the initiated. THE
UNIVERSITIES MUST NO LONGER SEND OUT FROM THEIR HALLS MILK SOPS
CONCOCTING PLANS FOR A CONSTITUTION, LIKE A COMEDY OR A TRAGEDY,
BUSYING THEMSELVES WITH QUESTIONS OF POLICY IN WHICH EVEN THEIR OWN
FATHERS NEVER HAD ANY POWER OF THOUGHT.
3. The ill-guided acquaintance of a large number of persons with questions of polity
creates utopian dreamers and bad subjects, as you can see for yourselves from the
example of the universal education in this direction of the GOYIM. We must introduce
into their education all those principles which have so brilliantly broken up their order.
But when we are in power we shall remove every kind of disturbing subject from the
course of education and shall make out of the youth obedient children of authority,
loving him who rules as the support and hope of peace and quiet.
WE SHALL CHANGE HISTORY
4. Classicism as also any form of study of ancient history, in which there are more
bad than good examples, we shall replace with the study of the program of the future.
We shall erase from the memory of men all facts of previous centuries which are
undesirable to us, and leave only those which depict all the errors of the government
of the GOYIM. The study of practical life, of the obligations of order, of the relations of
people one to another, of avoiding bad and selfish examples, which spread the
infection of evil, and similar questions of an educative nature, will stand in the
forefront of the teaching program, which will be drawn up on a separate plan for each
calling or state of life, in no wise generalizing the teaching. This treatment of the
question has special importance.
5. Each state of life must be trained within strict limits corresponding to its
destination and work in life. The OCCASIONAL GENIUS HAS ALWAYS MANAGED AND
ALWAYS WILL MANAGE TO SLIP THROUGH INTO OTHER STATES OF LIFE, BUT IT IS
THE MOST PERFECT FOLLY FOR THE SAKE OF THIS RARE OCCASIONAL GENIUS TO
LET THROUGH INTO RANKS FOREIGN TO THEM THE UNTALENTED WHO THUS ROB OF
THEIR PLACES WHO BELONG TO THOSE RANKS BY BIRTH OR EMPLOYMENT. YOU
KNOW YOURSELVES IN WHAT ALL THIS HAS ENDED FOR THE "GOYIM" WHO
ALLOWED THIS CRYING ABSURDITY.
6. In order that he who rules may be seated firmly in the hearts and minds of his
subjects it is necessary for the time of his activity to instruct the whole nation in the
schools and on the market places about this meaning and his acts and all his
beneficent initiatives.
7. We shall abolish every kind of freedom of instruction. Learners of all ages have
the right to assemble together with their parents in the educational establishments as
it were in a club: during these assemblies, on holidays, teachers will read what will
pass as free lectures on questions of human relations, of the laws of examples, of the
philosophy of new theories not yet declared to the world. These theories will be raised
by us to the stage of a dogma of faith as a traditional stage towards our faith. On the
completion of this exposition of our program of action in the present and the future I
will read you the principles of these theories.
8. In a word, knowing by the experience of many centuries that people live and are2. We shall exclude from the course of instruction State Law as also all that

chosen for their preeminent capacities from among the number of the initiated. THE

8. In a word, knowing by the experience of many centuries that people live and are guided by ideas, that these ideas are imbibed by people only by the aid of education
provided with equal success for all ages of growth, but of course by varying methods,
we shall swallow up and confiscate to our own use the last scintilla of independence of
thought, which we have for long past been directing towards subjects and ideas useful
for us. The system of bridling thought is already at work in the so-called system of
teaching by OBJECT LESSONS, the purpose of which is to turn the GOYIM into
unthinking submissive brutes waiting for things to be presented before their eyes in
order to form an idea of them .... In France, one of our best agents, Bourgeois, has
already made public a new program of teaching by object lessons.

PROTOCOL No. 17
1. The practice of advocacy produces men cold, cruel, persistent, unprincipled, who
in all cases take up an impersonal, purely legal standpoint. They have the inveterate
habit to refer everything to its value for the defense and not to the public welfare of its
results. They do not usually decline to undertake any defense whatever, they strive for
an acquittal at all costs, caviling over every petty crux of jurisprudence and thereby
they demoralize justice. For this reason we shall set this profession into narrow frames
which will keep it inside this sphere of executive public service. Advocates, equally
with judges, will be deprived of the right of communication with litigant; they well
receive business only from the court and will study it by notes of report and
documents, defending their clients after they have been interrogated in court on facts
that have appeared. They will receive an honorarium without regard to the quality of
the defense. This will render them mere reporters on law-business in the interests of
justice and as counterpoise to the proctor who will be the reporter in the interests of
prosecution; this will shorten business before the courts. In this way will be
established a practice of honest unprejudiced defense conducted not from personal
interest but by conviction. This will also, by the way, remove the present practice of
corrupt bargain between advocation to agree only to let that side win which pays
most .....
WE SHALL DESTROY THE CLERGY
2. WE HAVE LONG PAST TAKEN CARE TO DISCREDIT THE PRIESTHOOD OF
"GOYIM," and thereby to ruin their mission on earth which in these days might still be
a great hindrance to us. Day by day its influence on the peoples of the world is falling
lower. FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE HAS BEEN DECLARED EVERYWHERE, SO THAT NOW
ONLY YEARS DIVIDE US FROM THE MOMENT OF THE COMPLETE WRECKING OF THAT
CHRISTIAN RELIGION: as to other religions we shall have still less difficulty in dealing
with them, but it would be premature to speak of this now. We shall act clericalism
and clericals into such narrow frames as to make their influence move in retrogressive
proportion to its former progress.
3. When the time comes finally to destroy the papal court the finger of an invisible
hand will point the nations towards this court. When, however, the nations fling
themselves upon it, we shall come forward in the guise of its defenders as if to save
excessive bloodshed. By this diversion we shall penetrate to its very bowels and be
sure we shall never come out again until we have gnawed through the entire strength
of this place. 4. THE KING OF THE JEWS WILL BE THE REAL POPE OF THE UNIVERSE, THE
PATRIARCH OF THE INTERNATIONAL CHURCH [The Antichrist??].
5. But, IN THE MEANTIME, while we are reeducating youth in new traditional
religions and afterwards in ours, WE SHALL NOT OVERTLY LAY A FINGER ON EXISTING
CHURCHES, BUT WE SHALL FIGHT AGAINST THEM BY CRITICISM CALCULATED TO
PRODUCE SCHISM ....
6. In general, then, our contemporary press will continue to CONVICT State affairs,
religions, incapacities of the GOYIM, always using the most unprincipled expressions in
order by every means to lower their prestige in the manner which can only be
practiced by the genius of our gifted tribe ....
7. Our kingdom will be an apologia of the divinity Vishnu, in whom is found its
personification - in our hundred hands will be, one in each, the springs of the
machinery of social life. We shall see everything without the aid of official police which,
in that scope of its rights which we elaborated for the use of the GOYIM, hinders
governments from seeing. In our programs ONE-THIRD OF OUR SUBJECTS WILL KEEP
THE REST UNDER OBSERVATION from a sense of duty, on the principle of volunteer
service to the State. It will then be no disgrace to be a spy and informer, but a merit:
unfounded denunciations, however, will be cruelly punished that there may be
development of abuses of this right.
8. Our agents will be taken from the higher as well as the lower ranks of society,
from among the administrative class who spend their time in amusements, editors,
printers and publishers, booksellers, clerks, and salesmen, workmen, coachmen,
lackeys, et cetera. This body, having no rights and not being empowered to take any
action on their own account, and consequently a police without any power, will only
witness and report: verification of their reports and arrests will depend upon a
responsible group of controllers of police affairs, while the actual act of arrest will be
performed by the gendarmerie and the municipal police. Any person not denouncing
anything seen or heard concerning questions of polity will also be charged with and
made responsible for concealment, if it be proved that he is guilty of this crime.
9. JUST AS NOWADAYS OUR BRETHREN, ARE OBLIGED AT THEIR OWN RISK TO
DENOUNCE TO THE KABAL APOSTATES OF THEIR OWN FAMILY or members who have
been noticed doing anything in opposition to the KABAL, SO IN OUR KINGDOM OVER
ALL THE WORLD IT WILL BE OBLIGATORY FOR ALL OUR SUBJECTS TO OBSERVE THE
DUTY OF SERVICE TO THE STATE IN THIS DIRECTION. 10. Such an organization will
extirpate abuses of authority, of force, of bribery, everything in fact which we by our
counsels, by out theories of the superhuman rights of man, have introduced into the
customs of the GOYIM .... But how else were we to procure that increase of causes
predisposing to disorders in the midst of their administration? .... Among the number
of those methods one of the most important is - agents for the restoration of order, so
placed as to have the opportunity in their disintegrating activity of developing and
displaying their evil inclinations - obstinate self-conceit, irresponsible exercise of
authority, and, first and foremost, venality.

PROTOCOL No. 18
1. When it becomes necessary for us to strengthen the strict measures of secret
defense (the most fatal poison for the prestige of authority) we shall arrange a
simulation of disorders or some manifestation of discontents finding expression
through the co- operation of good speakers. Round these speakers will assemble all
who are sympathetic to his utterances. This will give us the pretext for domiciliary
prerequisitions and surveillance on the part of our servants from among the number of
the GOYIM police ....
2. As the majority of conspirators act of love for the game, for the sake of talking,
so, until they commit some overt act we shall not lay a finger on them but only
introduce into their midst observation elements .... It must be remembered that the
prestige of authority is lessened if it frequently discovers conspiracies against itself:
this implies a presumption of consciousness of weakness, or, what is still worse, of
injustice. You are aware that we have broken the prestige of the GOY kings by
frequent attempts upon their lives through our agents, blind sheep of our flock, who
are easily moved by a few liberal phrases to crimes provided only they be painted in
political colors. WE HAVE COMPELLED THE RULERS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR
WEAKNESS IN ADVERTISING OVERT MEASURES OF SECRETE DEFENSE AND THEREBY
WE SHALL BRING THE PROMISE OF AUTHORITY TO DESTRUCTION.
3. Our ruler will be secretly protected only by the most insignificant guard, because
we shall not admit so much as a thought that there could exist against him any
sedition with which he is not strong enough to contend and is compelled to hide from
it.
4. If we should admit this thought, as the GOYIM have done and are doing, we
should IPSO FACTO be signing a death sentence, if not for our ruler, at any rate for his
dynasty, at no distant date.
GOVERNMENT BY FEAR
5. According to strictly enforced outward appearances our ruler will employ his
power only for the advantage of the nation and in no wise for his own or dynastic
profits. Therefore, with the observance of this decorum, his authority will be respected
and guarded by the subjects themselves, it will receive an apotheosis in the admission
that with it is bound up the well-being of every citizen of the State, for upon it will
depend all order in the common life of the pack ....
6. OVERT DEFENSE OF THE KIND ARGUES WEAKNESS IN THE ORGANIZATION OF
HIS STRENGTH.
7. Our ruler will always be among the people and be surrounded by a mob of
apparently curious men and women, who will occupy the front ranks about him, to all
appearance by chance, and will restrain the ranks of the rest out of respect as it will
appear for good order. This will sow an example of restraint also in others. If a
petitioner appears among the people trying to hand a petition and forcing his way
through the ranks, the first ranks must receive the petition and before the eyes of the
petitioner pass it to the ruler, so that all may know that what is handed in reaches its
destination, that consequently, there exists a control of the ruler himself. The aureole
of power requires for is existence that the people may be able to say: "If the king
knew of this," or: "the king will hear it." 8. WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF OFFICIAL DEFENSE, THE MYSTICAL PRESTIGE OF
AUTHORITY DISAPPEARS: given a certain audacity, and everyone counts himself
master of it, the sedition- monger is conscious of his strength, and when occasion
serves watches for the moment to make an attempt upon authority .... For the GOYIM
we have been preaching something else, but by that very fact we are enabled to see
what measures of overt defense have brought them to ....
9. CRIMINALS WITH US WILL BE ARRESTED AT THE FIRST, more or less, wellgrounded
SUSPICION: it cannot be allowed that out of fear of a possible mistake an
opportunity should be given of escape to persons suspected of a political lapse of
crime, for in these matters we shall be literally merciless. If it is still possible, by
stretching a point, to admit a reconsideration of the motive causes in simple crimes,
there is no possibility of excuse for persons occupying themselves with questions in
which nobody except the government can understand anything .... And it is not all
governments that understand true policy.

PROTOCOL No. 19
1. If we do not permit any independent dabbling in the political we shall on the
other hand encourage every kind of report or petition with proposals for the
government to examine into all kinds of projects for the amelioration of the condition
of the people; this will reveal to us the defects or else the fantasies of our subjects, to
which we shall respond either by accomplishing them or by a wise rebuttment to prove
the shortsightedness of one who judges wrongly.
2. Sedition-mongering is nothing more than the yapping of a lap- dog at an
elephant. For a government well organized, not from the police but from the public
point of view, the lap-dog yaps at the elephant in entire unconsciousness of its
strength and importance. It needs no more than to take a good example to show the
relative importance of both and the lap-dogs will cease to yap and will wag their tails
the moment they set eyes on an elephant.
3. In order to destroy the prestige of heroism for political crime we shall send it for
trial in the category of thieving, murder, and every kind of abominable and filthy
crime. Public opinion will then confuse in its conception of this category of crime with
the disgrace attaching to every other and will brand it with the same contempt.
4. We have done our best, and I hope we have succeeded to obtain that the GOYIM
should not arrive at this means of contending with sedition. It was for this reason that
through the Press and in speeches, indirectly - in cleverly compiled school- books on
history, we have advertised the martyrdom alleged to have been accredited by
sedition-mongers for the idea of the commonweal. This advertisement has increased
the contingent of liberals and has brought thousands of GOYIM into the ranks of our
livestock cattle.

PROTOCOL No. 20
1. To-day we shall touch upon the financial program, which I put off to the end of
my report as being the most difficult, the crowning and the decisive point of our plans.
Before entering upon it I will remind you that I have already spoken before by way of
a hint when I said that the sum total of our actions is settled by the question of
figures.
2. When we come into our kingdom our autocratic government will avoid, from a
principle of self-preservation, sensibly burdening the masses of the people with taxes,
remembering that it plays the part of father and protector. But as State organization
cost dear it is necessary nevertheless to obtain the funds required for it. It will,
therefore, elaborate with particular precaution the question of equilibrium in this
matter.
3. Our rule, in which the king will enjoy the legal fiction that everything in his State
belongs to him (which may easily be translated into fact), will be enabled to resort to
the lawful confiscation of all sums of every kind for the regulation of their circulation in
the State. From this follows that taxation will best be covered by a progressive tax on
property. In this manner the dues will be paid without straitening or ruining anybody
in the form of a percentage of the amount of property. The rich must be aware that it
is their duty to place a part of their superfluities at the disposal of the State since the
State guarantees them security of possession of the rest of their property and the
right of honest gains, I say honest, for the control over property will do away with
robbery on a legal basis.
4. This social reform must come from above, for the time is ripe for it - it is
indispensable as a pledge of peace.
WE SHALL DESTROY CAPITAL
5. The tax upon the poor man is a seed of revolution and works to the detriment of
the State which is hunting after the trifling is missing the big. Quite apart from this, a
tax on capitalists diminishes the growth of wealth in private hands in which we have in
these days concentrated it as a counterpoise to the government strength of the GOYIM
- their State finances.
6. A tax increasing in a percentage ratio to capital will give much larger revenue
than the present individual or property tax, which is useful to us now for the sole
reason that it excites trouble and discontent among the GOYIM.
7. The force upon which our king will rest consists in the equilibrium and the
guarantee of peace, for the sake of which things it is indispensable that the capitalists
should yield up a portion of their incomes for the sake of the secure working of the
machinery of the State. State needs must be paid by those who will not feel the
burden and have enough to take from.
8. Such a measure will destroy the hatred of the poor man for the rich, in whom he
will see a necessary financial support for the State, will see in him the organizer of
peace and well-being since he will see that it is the rich man who is paying the
necessary means to attain these things.

 

[Speedy]

9. In order that payers of the educated classes should not too much distress
themselves over the new payments they will have full accounts given them of the
destination of those payments, with the exception of such sums as will be
appropriated for the needs of the throne and the administrative institutions.
10. He who reigns will not have any properties of his own once all in the State
represented his patrimony, or else the one would be in contradiction to the other; the
fact of holding private means would destroy the right of property in the common
possessions of all.
11. Relatives of him who reigns, his heirs excepted, who will be maintained by the
resources of the State, must enter the ranks of servants of the State or must work to
obtain the right to property; the privilege of royal blood must not serve for the spoiling
of the treasury.
12. Purchase, receipt of money or inheritance will be subject to the payment of a
stamp progressive tax. Any transfer of property, whether money or other, without
evidence of payment of this tax which will be strictly registered by names, will render
the former holder liable to pay interest on the tax from the moment of transfer of
these sums up to the discovery of his evasion of declaration of the transfer. Transfer
documents must be presented weekly at the local treasury office with notifications of
the name, surname and permanent place of residence of the former and the new
holder of the property. This transfer with register of names must begin from a definite
sum which exceeds the ordinary expenses of buying and selling necessaries, and these
will be subject to payment only by a stamp impost of a definite percentage of the unit.
13. Just strike an estimate of how many times such taxes as these will cover the
revenue of the GOYIM States.
WE CAUSE DEPRESSIONS
14. The State exchequer will have to maintain a definite complement of reserve
sums, and all that is collected above that complement must be returned into
circulation. On these sums will be organized public works. The initiative in works of
this kind, proceeding from State sources, will blind the working class firmly to the
interests of the State and to those who reign. From these same sums also a part will
be set aside as rewards of inventiveness and productiveness.
15. On no account should so much as a single unit above the definite and freely
estimated sums be retained in the State Treasuries, for money exists to be circulated
and any kind of stagnation of money acts ruinously on the running of the State
machinery, for which it is the lubricant; a stagnation of the lubricant may stop the
regular working of the mechanism.
16. The substitution of interest-bearing paper for a part of the token of exchange
has produced exactly this stagnation. The consequences of this circumstance are
already sufficiently noticeable.
17. A court of account will also be instituted by us, and in it the ruler will find at any
moment a full accounting for State income and expenditure, with the exception of the
current monthly account, not yet made up, and that of the preceding month, which
will not yet have been delivered.
