PROTOCOL No.13
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.
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 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 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 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.
