This version of the protocols has explanation and commentary to aid the reader in understanding the implications. If you wish to download a complete pdf file without extras then click here.
The protocols are the result of a group of people being convinced of its agenda and being practicing Satanists. They are of course very ill and infected with a virus of the soul that allows them to believe such nonsense. What ever you may think of it the important thing is that they believe it and are very active in trying to act on its principles. If you have not read already then please read the secret covenant first, this is a smaller document explaining the ideals and motives of those ‘beings’ that infected weak and ego based humans to write the following protocols.

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

FAMOUS VIEWS ON THE PROTOCOLS
Uncanny Note Of Prophecy
"Whence come this uncanny note of prophecy, prophecy in part
fulfilled, in parts far gone in the way of fulfillment? Have we
been struggling these tragic years to ... extirpate the secret
organization of German world dominion only to find underneath it,
another, more dangerous because more secret? Have we ... escaped
a Pax Germanica only to fall into a Pax Judaeica?
The Times, London, May 8th, 1920
Are They A Forgery?
"A document forged to defame a people."
The American Hebrew
"A clumsy forgery."
Lucien Wolf in The Spectator, London, June 12th, 1920
"Upon that much-vexed subject the authenticity of ... The
Protocols of Zion we shall not enter, except to say that if the
document is a forgery, as alleged, then it is one of the most
remarkable in the history of literature."
The Spectator, London, October 16th, 1920
"Those who feel libeled by the Protocols have the most
obvious remedy in the world; all they have to do is to ruse and
denounce the policy of them, instead of denying the
authorship ... But when you come to read them how can any reason-
able man deny the truth of what is contained in them??
Norman Jaques, M.P.,
in Canadian House of Commons, July 9th, 1943
"On the one hand, the authenticity of this document cannot
be proved; on the other hand, the efforts made by some writers,
principally Jewish, to show it to be a forgery do not carry
conviction to many serious minds."
The Rev. Denny Fahey, C.S.Sp., B.A., D.D., 1939
Too Terribly Real For Fiction
"Whosoever was the mind that conceived them possessed a
knowledge of human nature, of history, and of statecraft which is
dazzling in its brilliant completeness, and terrible in the
objects to which it turns its power. It is too terribly real for
fiction, too well sustained for speculation, to deep in its
knowledge of the secret springs of life for forgery."
The Dearborn Independent, July 10th, 1920.
Confirmation From A Jew
"The United Nations is Zionism. It is the super government
mentioned many times in the Protocols of the Learned Elders of
Zion, promulgated between 1897 and 1905."
Henry Klein, New York, Jewish Lawyer,
in Zionism Rules the World, 1948.
They Fit It Now
"The only statement I care to make about the Protocols is
that they fit in with what is going on. They are sixteen years
old and they have fitted the world situation up to this time.
They fit it now.
Henry Ford in the New York World, February 17th, 1921
"In the desires of a terrible and formidable sect, you have only
reached the first stages of the plans it has formed for that general Revo-
lution which is to overthrow all thrones, all altars, annihilate all
property, efface all law, and end by dissolving all society."
The Abbe Barruel (1797) writing on the Anti-Christian Conspiracy.
**
"Unless Bolshevism is nipped in the bud immediately it is bound to
spread in one form or another all over Europe and the whole world, as it is
organized and worked by Jews who have no nationality and whose object is to
destroy for their own ends the existing order of things."
British Government White Paper, Russia No. 1 (1919)
***
"There is now definite evidence that Bolshevism is an international
movement controlled by Jews; communications are passing between the leaders
in America, France, Russia and England, with a view to concerted action."
Directorate of Intelligence, Home Office, Scotland Yard, London,
in a Monthly Report to Foreign Embassies, 16th July, 1919.
***
"This movement among the Jews is not new. From the days of Spartacus-
Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun
(Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States),
this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization and for the
reconstitution [reconstruction] of society on the basis of arrested devel-
opment, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily
growing."
Winston Churchill in Illustrated Sunday Herald, 8th February, 1920.

INTRODUCTION
The Protocols of the Learned Elders of ZION may be briefly
described as a blueprint for the domination of the world by a
secret brotherhood. Whatever may be the truth about their au-
thorship - and, as will be shown, this has been the subject of
bitter dispute - there can be no doubt that the world society to
which they look forward is nothing more or less that a world
police state.
The book is which the Protocols were first embodied was
published by Professor Sergyei A. Nilus in Russia in 1905, a
copy being received in the British Museum on August 10th,
1906, Professor Nilus's concern was to expose that he be-
lieved to be a ruthless, cold-blooded conspiracy for the
destruction of Christian CIVILIZATION. Early, in August and
September of 1903, the Russian newspaper SNAMIA had pub-
lished the Protocols, and they are also believed to have
been published in the winter of 1902/1903 in the newspaper
MOSKOWSKIJA WIEDOMOSTI. They remained unknown outside
Russia, however, until after the Bolshevik Revolution, when
Russian emigrants brought Nilus's book to North America and
Germany.
The similarity between what was forecast in the Protocols
and the fate which had befallen Russia under the Bolsheviks was
so marked that, after these long years of neglect, they rapidly
became one of the most famous (or notorious) documents in the
world.
In Bolshevik Russia, the penalty for their mere possession
was death. It remains so to this day, both in the Soviet Union
and in the Satellite countries. Outside the Iron Curtain, in
South Africa possession of the Protocols is also forbidden by
law, although the penalty is less drastic.
As a result of their rapidly growing fame, numerous attempts
were made to discredit the Protocols as a forgery. But it was
not until 1933 that the JEWS resorted to legal action. On 26th
June, 1933, the FEDERATION of JEWISH COMMUNITY brought an action
against five members of the Swiss National Front, seeking a
judgment that the Protocols were a forgery and a prohibition of
their publication. The procedure of the Court was astounding,
the provisions of the Swiss Civil Code being deliberately set
aside. Sixteen witnesses called by the plaintiffs were heard,
but only one of the forty witnesses called by the defendants was
allowed a hearing. The judge allowed the plaintiffs to appoint
two private stenographers to keep the register of proceedings
during the hearing of their witnesses, instead of entrusting the
task to a Court official.
In view of these and similar irregularities, it was not
surprising that, after the case had lasted just on two years, the
Court pronounced the Protocols to be a forgery and demoralizing
literature. The decision was given on 14th May, 1935, but it was
announced in the JEWISH PRESS before it was delivered by the
Court!
On 1st November, 1937, the Swiss Court of Criminal Appeal
quashed this judgment in its entirety. JEWISH PROPAGANDISTS,
however, still declare that the Protocols have been "proved" to
be a forgery.
It is natural that the JEWS should try to discredit the
Protocols, for their growing fame was focusing more public atten-
tion on other revealing utterances.
In Disraeli's THE LIFE OF LORD GEORGE BENTINCK, written in
1852, there occurs this quotation: -
"The influence of the JEWS may be traced in the last
outbreak of the destructive principle in Europe. An insurrection
takes place against tradition and aristocracy, against religion
and property. Destruction of the Semitic principles, extirpation
of the JEWISH RELIGION, whether in the Mosaic or the CHRISTIAN
form the natural equality of men and the abrogation of property
are proclaimed by the Secret Societies which form Provisional
Governments and men of the JEWISH RACE are found at the head of
every one of them. The people of God cooperate with atheists;
the most skillful accumulators of property ally themselves with
Communists; the peculiar and chosen Race touch the hand of all
the scum and low castes of Europe; and all this because they wish
to destroy that ungrateful Christendom which owes to them its
name, and whose tyranny they can no longer endure."
Max Norday, a JEW, speaking at the ZIONIST CONGRESS at Basel
in August 1903, made this astonishing "prophecy":
"Let me tell you the following words as if I were
shoeing you the rungs of a ladder leading upward and upward:
Herzl, the ZIONIST CONGRESS, the English Uganda proposition,
the future world war, the peace conference, where with the
help of England a free and JEWISH PALESTINE will be creat-
ed."
Walter Rathenau, the JEWISH BANKER behind the Kaiser, writ-
ing in the German WIENER FREIE PRESSE, December 24, 1912, said:
"Three hundred men, each of who knows all the others,
govern the fate of the European continent, and they elect
their successor from their entourage."
Confirmation of Rathenau's statement came twenty years later
in 1931 when Jean Izoulet, a prominent member of the JEWISH
ALLIANCE ISRAELITE UNIVERSELLE, wrote in his PARIS LA CAPITALAE
DES RELIGIONS:
"The meaning of the history of the last century is that
today 300 JEWISH FINANCIER, all Masters of Lodges, rule the
world."
The LONDON JEWISH CHRONICLE, on April 4th, 1919, declared:
"There is much in the fact of Bolshevism itself, in the
fact that so many JEWS are BOLSHEVISTS, in the fact that the
ideals of Bolshevism at many points are consonant with the
finest ideals of Judaism."
and on March 15th, 1923, the JEWISH WORLD asserted:
"Fundamentally JUDAISM is ANTI-CHRISTIAN."
These and many similar assertions from JEWISH sources were
damaging enough from the JEWISH point of view. Taken in con-
junction with the Protocols, with which more and more people were
becoming familiar, they were damning.
The attitude of many people whose concern over the growing
attack on CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION was rapidly increasing was
summed up by the late Henry Ford senior, the founder of the
world-famous motor manufacturing company. In an interview pub-
lished in the New York World on February 17th, 1921, Mr. Ford
declared:
"The only statement I care to make about the Protocols
is that they fit in with what is going on. They are sixteen
years old, and have fitted the world situation up to this
time. THEY FIT IT NOW."
Those who, like Henry Ford, could see that "they fit it now"
only sixteen years after Nilus's first publication of the Proto-
cols, naturally tended to concentrate their attention on the
relatively recent phenomenon of Bolshevism. Few of them the
understood the equally dangerous, if more insidious, danger of
internationalism.
Now, however, more than half a century after Nilus's publi-
cation of the Protocols, the reality of that danger must be
crystal clear to anybody who views the world situation objectively.
The Protocols are full of references to a "Super-
Government," PROTOCOL VI, for example, states:
"In every possible way we must develop the significance
of our Super-Government by representing it as the Protector
and Benefactor of all those who voluntarily submit to us."
That is exactly the way in which the United Nations special
agencies - UNESCO (U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization); ILO (International Labour Organization); WHO
(World Health Organization); FAO (Food and Agriculture Organiza-
tion); Commission of Human Rights; Genocide Convention, etc. -
are represented.
For some years there has been in existence an international
organization calling itself the World Association of Parliamen-
tarians for World Government, which pursues the same objective as
that of another long-established international organization,
Federal Union. This body does not disuse the fact that the
United Nations, by means of a few relatively minor changes in its
Charter, could be transformed virtually over night into a World
Government.
There has long been agitation for the creation of a World
Police Force. This would enable the United Nations Super-Govern-
ment to function as a master of an all-powerful World Police
State, and the closing years of the 1950's have seen the agita-
tors for a World Police Force come close to achieving their
objective. The U.N. Emergency Force, established after the Suez
crisis of 1956, has been openly regarded as a "pilot scheme."
Should the few changes in the Charter necessary to transform
the U.N. into a Super-Government be made, it will have in the
special agencies ready made Ministries of Education (or Propagan-
da), Labor, Health, Food and Agriculture, "Justice", etc.
Can it be an accident that these things are so accurately
for-shadowed in the Protocols?
The full-scale World Super-Government is not the only, nor
perhaps the most immediate, danger. It is obvious to everyone
that the nations of the East are being herded into subjection
under the dominance of the Soviet Union. But what of the nations
of the West? Are they really the "free nations" which they are
popularly supposed to be?
Far from it! They are being herded into that same sort of
pen as are the nations of the East under Communism. Late in
1957, the process had gone for enough to be given an official
name. That name was the policy of inter-dependence."
The nations of the West are being brought under internation-
al control at political, military and economic levels. They are
rapidly in process of becoming controlled also on the social
level. All alike are being told that their only hope lies in the
surrender of national sovereignty.
National Parliaments must give way to such bodies as the
Council of Europe or the Atlantic Council. National Forces must
be submerged in such bodies as the North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
zation (NATO), the Baghdad Pact or the South-East Treaty Organi-
zation (SEATO), so that no nation has control over its own means
of defense. National economies must be submerged in such bodies
as the Organization for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC), the
European Payments Union (EPU) or the World Bank, so that no
nation may control its own economic destiny.
Even on the social level, individual national distinctions
must disappear. For example, under the "Common Market" Treaty
which unites six European nations on the economic plane, provi-
sion is made for the "equalization of social policies." And
strenuous efforts have been made to herd other European nations,
Great Britain among them, into this same pen in the associated
European Free Trade Area.
In 1934, when the leader of the British Labor Party (Mr.
Clement Attlee) told the party's annual conference:
"We are deliberately putting loyalty to a world order
above loyalty to our own country," he was widely execrated.
Twenty-three years of propaganda, however, leave their mark,
and when, in 1957, a Conservative Prime Minister of Britain told
the British people that they must surrender some of their nation-
al sovereignty to an unknown international cabal, scarcely a
voice was raise in protest. At the close of 1957 there was an
official declaration of the British Government's support for the
plan which was foreshadowed in the Protocols over sixty years
ago. The Earl of Gosford, Joint Under-Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, said in the House of Lords on 7th November,
1957:
"Her Majesty's Government are fully in agreement with
World Government. We agree that this must be the goal, and
that every step that is humanly possible must be taken to
reach that goal."
All over the world "federation", "integration", "regionali-
zation" and "inter-dependence" are the order of the day. All
this is foreshadowed in the Protocols, published more than
half-a-century ago by Sergyei Nilus, which, we are told are
forgery.
Can this be coincidence? Could any forger be so prescient?
Or are the Protocols what Nilus and many others believed
them to be - the blueprint for a conspiracy to destroy CHRISTIAN
CIVILIZATION and place the whole world under the domination of a
small, secret cabal?
NOTES
I - "AGENTURE" and "THE POLITICAL"
There are two words in this translation which are unusual,
the words "Agentur" and "political" used as substantives.
"Agentur" appears to be adopted from the original test and it
means the whole body of agents and agencies directed by the
Elders, whether members of the tribe or their GENTILE tools.
By "the Political" is meant not exactly the "body politic"
but the entire machinery of politics.
II - The Symbolic Snake of Judaism
Chapter III opens with a reference to the symbolic Snake of
Judaism. In his Epilogue to the 1905 Edition of the Protocols
Nilus gives the following interesting account of this symbol:
According to the records of secret JEWISH ZIONISM, Solomon
and other JEWISH learned men had already, in 929 B.C., thought
out a theoretical scheme for the peaceful conquest of the whole
universe by ZION.
As history developed, this scheme was worked out in detail
and completed by men who were subsequently initiated in this
question. The learned men decided by peaceful means to conquer
the world for ZION with the slyness of the Symbolic Snake, whose
head was to represent those who have been initiated into the
plans of the JEWISH PEOPLE - the administration was always kept
secret, even from the JEWISH NATION itself. As this Snake pene-
trated into the hearts of the nations which it encountered it
undermined and devoured all the NON-JEWISH power of these States.
It is foretold that the Snake has sill to finish its work,
strictly adhering to the designed plan, until the course which it
has to run is closed by the return of its head to ZION and until,
by this means, the Snake has completed its round of Europe and
has encircled it - and until, by dint of enchaining Europe, it
has encompassed the whole world. This it is to accomplish by
using every endeavor to subdue the other countries by an economic
conquest.
The return of the head of the Snake to ZION can only be
accomplished after the power of all the Sovereigns of Europe has
been laid low, that is to say, when by means of economic crises
and wholesale destruction effected everywhere, there shall have
been brought about a spiritual demoralization and a moral corrup-
tion, chiefly with the assistance of JEWISH WOMEN masquerading as
French, Italians, etc. These are the surest spreader of licen-
tiousness into the lives of the leading men at the heads of
nations.
A map of the course of the Symbolic Snake is shown as fol-
lows: Its first stage in Europe was in 429 B.C. in Greece,
where, about the time of Pericles, the Snake first started eating
into the power of that country. The second stage was in Rome in
the time of Augustus, about 69 B.C. The third in Madrid in the
times of Charles V, in A.D. 1552. The fourth in Paris about
1790, in the time of Louis XVI. The fifth in London from 1814
onwards (after the downfall of Napoleon). The sixth in Berlin in
1871 after the Franco-Prussian war. The seventh in St. Peters-
burg, over which is drawn the head of the Snake under the date
1881.
After these states which the Snake traversed have had the
foundations of their constitutions shaken, Germany, with its
apparent power, forming no exception to the rule. In economic
conditions England and Germany are spared by the Snake, on which
at present [i.e., 1905] all its efforts are concentrated. The
future course of the Snake is not shown on this map, but arrows
indicate its next movement towards Moscow, Kiev, and Odessa.
It is now well know to us to what extent the latter cities
form the centers of the militant JEWISH RACE. Constantinople is
shown as the last of the Snake's course before it reaches Jerusa-
lem.
III - The term "Goyim"
Meaning GENTILES or NON-JEW, is used throughout the Proto-
cols and is retained by Mr. Marsden.
The Protocols
-------------
In 1884 the daughter of a Russian general, Mlle. Justine
Glinka, was endeavoring to serve her country in Paris by
obtaining political information, which she communicated to
General Orgevskii in St. Petersburg. For this purpose she
employed a Jew, Joseph Schorst, member of the Mizraim Lodge in
Paris. One day Schorst offered to obtain for her a document of
great importance to Russia, on payment of 2,500 francs. This sum
being received from St. Petersburg was paid over and the document
handed to Mlle. Glinka.
She forwarded the French original, accompanied by a Russian
translation, to Orgevskii, who in turn handed it to his chief,
General Cherevin, for transmission to the Tsar. But Cherevin,
under obligation to wealthy Jews, refused to transmit it, merely
filing it in the archives.
Meantime there appeared in Paris certain books on Russian
court life which displeased the Tsar, who ordered his secret
police to discover their authorship. This was falsefy attributed,
perhaps with malicious intent, to Mlle. Glinka, and on her return
to Russia she was banished to her estate in Orel. To the marechal
de noblesse of this district, Alexis Sukhotin, Mlle. Glinka gave
a copy of the Protocols. Sukhotin showed the document to two
friends, Stepanov and Nilus; the former had it printed and
circulated privately in 1897; the second, Professor Sergius A.
Nilus, published it for the first time in Tsarskoe-Tselc (Russia)
in 1901, in a book entitled The Great Within the Small. Then,
about the same time, a friend of Nilus, G. Butmi, also brought it
out and a copy was deposited in the British Museum on August 10,
1906.
Meantime, through Jewish members of the Russian police,
minutes of the proceedings of the Basle congress in 1897 had been
obtained and these were found to correspond with the Protocols.
In January 1917, Nilus had prepared a second edition,
revised and documented, for publication. But before it could be
put on the market, the revolution of March 1917 had taken place
and Kerenski, who had succeded to power, ordered the whole
edition of Nilus's book to be destroyed. In 1924, Prof. Nilus was
arrested by the Cheka in Kiev, imprisoned, and tortured; he was
told by the Jewish president of the court, that this treatment
was meted out to him for "having done them incalculable harm in
publishing the Protocols". Released for a few months, he was
again led before the G.P.U. (Cheka), this time in Moscow and
confined. Set at liberty in February 1926, he died in exile in
the district of Vladimir on January 13, 1929.]

.....Putting aside fine phrases we shall speak of the
significance of each thought: by comparisons and deductions we
shall throw light upon surrounding facts.
What I am about to set forth, then, is our system
from the two point[s] of view, that of ourselves and that of
the goyim (i.e., non-Jews).
It must be noted that men with bad instincts are more
in number than the good, and therefore the best results in
governing them are attained by violence and terrorization, and
not by academic discussions. Every man aims at power, everyone
would like to become a dictator if only he could, and rare indeed
are the men who would not be willing to sacrifice the welfare of
all for the sake of securing their own welfare.
What has restrained the beasts of prey who are called men?
What has served for their guidance hitherto?
In the beginnings of the structure of society they were
subjected to brutal and blind force; afterwards -- to Law, which
is the same force, only disguised. I draw the conclusion that by
the law of nature right lies in force.
Political freedom is an idea but not a fact. This idea one
must know how to apply whenever it appears necessary with this
bait of an idea to attract the masses of the people to one's
party for the purpose of crushing another who is in authority.
This task is rendered easier if the opponent has himself been
infected with the idea of freedom, so-called liberalism, and, for
the sake of an idea, is willing to yield some of his power. It is
precisely here that the triumph of our theory appears: the
slackened reins of government are immediately, by the law of
life, caught up and gathered together by a new hand, because the
blind might of the nation cannot for one single day exist without
guidance, and the new authority merely fits into the place of the
old already weakened by liberalism.
In our day the power which has replaced that of the rulers
who were liberal is the power of Gold. Time was when Faith ruled.
The idea of freedom is impossible of realization because no one
knows how to use it with moderation. It is enough to hand over a
people to self-government for a certain length of time for that
people to be turned into a disorganized mob. From that moment on
we get internecine strife which soon develops into battles
between classes, in the midst of which States burn down and their
importance is reduced to that of a heap of ashes.
Whether a State exhausts itself in its own convulsions,
whether its internal discord brings it under the power of
external foes -- in any case it can be accounted irretrievably
lost: it is in our power. The despotism of Capital, which is
entirely in our hands, reaches out to it a straw that the State,
willy-nilly, must take hold of: if not -- it goes to the bottom.
Should anyone of a liberal mind say that such reflections as
the above are immoral I would put the following questions: -- If
every State has two foes and if in regard to the external foe it
is allowed and not considered immoral to use every manner and art
of conflict, as for example to keep the enemy in ignorance of
plans of attack and defence, to attack him by night or in
superior numbers, then in what way can the same means in regard
to a worse foe, the destroyer of the structure of society and the
commonweal, be called immoral and not permissible?
Is it possible for any sound logical mind to hope with any
success to guide crowds by the aid of reasonable counsels and
arguments, when any objection or contradiction, senseless though
it may be, can be made and when such objection may find more
favour with the people, whose powers of reasoning are
superficial? Men in masses and the men of the masses, being
guided solely by petty passions, paltry beliefs, customs,
traditions and sentimental theorism, fall a prey to party
dissension, which hinders any kind of agreement even on the basis
of a perfectly reasonable argument. Every resolution of a crowd
depends upon a chance or packed majority, which, in its ignorance
of political secrets, put forth some ridiculous resolution that
lays in the administration a seed of anarchy.
The political has nothing in common with the moral. The
ruler who is governed by the moral is not a skilled politician,
and is therefore unstable on his throne. He who wishes to rule
must have recource both to cunning and to make-believe. Great
national qualities, like frankness and honesty, are vices in
politics, for they bring down rulers from their thrones more
effectively and more certainly than the most powerful enemy. Such
qualities must be the attributes of the kingdoms of the goyim,
but we must in no wise be guided by them.
Our right lies in force. The word "right" is an abstract
thought and proved by nothing. The word means no more than: --
Give me what I want in order that thereby I may have a proof that
I am stronger than you.
Where does right begin? Where does it end?
In any State in which there is a bad organization of
authority, an impersonality of laws and of the rulers who have
lost their personality amid the flood of rights ever multiplying
out of liberalism, I find a new right -- to attack by the right
of the strong, and to scatter to the winds all existing forces of
order and regulation, to reconstruct all institutions and to
become the sovereign lord of those who have left to us the rights
of their power by laying them down voluntarily in their
liberalism.
Our power in the present tottering condition of all forms of
power will be more invisible than any other, because it will
remain invisible until the moment when it has gained such
strength that no cunning can any longer undermine it.
Out of the temporary evil we are now compelled to commit
will emerge the good of an unshakeable rule, which will restore
the regular course of the machinery of the national life, brought
to naught by liberalism. The result justifies the means. Let us,
however, in our plans, direct our attention not so much to what
is good and moral as to what is necessary and useful.
Before us is a plan in which is laid down strategically the
line from which we cannot deviate without running the risk of
seeing the labour of many centuries brought to naught.
In order to elaborate satisfactory forms of action it is
necessary to have regard to the rascality, the slackness, the
instability of the mob, its lack of capacity to understand and
respect the conditions of its own life, or its own welfare. It
must be understood that the might of a mob is blind, senseless
and unreasoning force ever at the mercy of a suggestion from any
side. The blind cannot lead the blind without bringing them into
the abyss; consequently, members of the mob, upstarts from the
people even though they should be as a genius for wisdom, yet
having no understanding of the political, cannot come forward as
leaders of the mob without bringing the whole nation to ruin.
Only one trained from childhood for independent rule can
have understanding of the words that can be made up of the
political alphabet.
A people left to itself i.e., to upstarts from its midst,
brings itself to ruin by party dissensions excited by the pursuit
of power and honours and the disorders arising therefrom, Is it
possible for the masses of the people calmly and without petty
jealousies to form judgments, to deal with the affairs of the
country, which cannot be mixed up with personal interests? Can
they defend themselves from an external foe? It is unthinkable,
for a plan broken up into as many parts as there are heads in the
mob, loses all homogeneity, and thereby becomes unintelligible
and impossible of execution.
It is only with a despotic ruler that plans can be
elaborated extensively and clearly in such a way as to distribute
the whole properly among the several parts of the machinery of
the State: from this the conclusion is inevitable that a
satisfactory form of government for any country is one that
concentrates in the hands of one responsible person. Without an
absolute despotism there can be no existence for civilization
which is carried on not by the masses but by their guide,
whosoever that person may be. The mob is a savage and displays
its savagery at every opportunity. The moment the mob seizes
freedom in its hands it quickly turns to anarchy, which in itself
is the highest degree of savagery.
Behold the alcoholized animals, bemused with drink, the
right to an immoderate use of which comes along with freedom. It
is not for us and ours to walk that road. The peoples of the
goyim are bemused with alcoholic liquors; their youth has grown
stupid on classicism and from early immorality, into which it has
been inducted by our special agents -- by tutors, lackeys,
governesses in the houses of the wealthy, by clerks and others,
by our women in the places of dissipation frequented by the
goyim. In the number of these last I count also the so-called
"society ladies," voluntary followers of the others in corruption
and luxury.
Our countersign is -- Force and Make-believe. Only force
conquers in political affairs, especially if it be concealed in
the talents essential to statesmen. Violence must be the
principle, and cunning and make-believe the rule for governments
which do not want to lay down their crowns at the feet of agents
of some new power. This evil is the one and only means to attain
the end, the good. Therefore we must not stop at bribery, deceit
and treachery when they should serve towards the attainment of
our end. In politics one must know how to seize the property of
others without hesitation if by it we secure submission and
sovereignty.
Our State, marching along the path of peaceful conquest, has
the right to replace the horrors of war by less noticeable and
more satisfactory sentences of death, necessary to maintain the
terror which tends to produce blind submission. Just but
merciless severity is the greatest factor of strength in the
State: not only for the sake of gain but also in the name of
duty, for the sake of victory, we must keep to the programme of
violence and make-believe. The doctrine of squaring accounts is
precisely as strong as the means of which it makes use. Therefore
it is not so much by the means themselves as by the doctrine of
severity that we shall triumph and bring all governments into
subjection to our super-government. It is enough for them to know
that we are merciless for all disobedience to cease.
Far back in ancient times we were the first to cry among the
masses of the people the words "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,"
words many times repeated since those days by stupid poll-parrots
who from all sides round flew down upon these baits and with them
carried away the well-being of the world, true freedom of the
individual, formerly so well guarded against the pressure of the
mob. The would-be wise men of the goyim, the intellectuals, could
not make anything out of the uttered words in their abstractness;
did not note the contradiction of their meaning and inter-
relation: did not see that in nature there is no equality, cannot
be freedom; that Nature herself has established inequality of
minds, of characters, and capacities, just as immutably as she
has established subordination to her laws: never stopped to think
that the mob is a blind thing, that upstarts elected from among
it to bear rule are, in regard to the political, the same blind
men as the mob itself, that the adept, though he be a fool, can
yet rule, whereas the non-adept, even if he were a genius,
understands nothing in the political -- to all these things the
goyim paid no regard; yet all the time it was based upon these
things that dynastic rule rested: the father passed on to the son
a knowledge of the course of political affairs in such wise that
none should know it but members of the dynasty and none could
betray it to the governed. As time went on the meaning of the
dynastic transference of the true position of affairs in the
political was lost, and this aided the success of our cause.
In all corners of the earth the words "Liberty, Equality,
Fraternity" brought to our ranks, thanks to our blind agents,
whole legions who bore our banners with enthusiasm. And all the
time these words were canker-worms at work boring into the well-
being of the goyim, putting an end everywhere to peace, quiet,
solidarity and destroying all the foundations of the goya States.
As you will see later, this helped us to our triumph; it gave us
the possibility, among other things, of getting into our hands
the master card -- the destruction of the privileges, or in other
words of the very existence of the aristocracy of the goyim, that
class which was the only defense peoples and countries had
against us. On the ruins of the natural and genealogical
aristocracy of the goyim we have set up the aristocracy of our
educated class headed by the aristocracy of money. The
qualifications for this aristocracy we have established in
wealth, which is dependent upon us, and in knowledge, for which
our learned elders provide the motive force.
Our triumph has been rendered easier by the fact that in our
relations with the men whom we wanted we have always worked upon
the most sensitive chords of the human mind, upon the cash
account, upon the cupidity, upon the insatiability for material
needs of man: and each one of these human weaknesses, taken
alone, is sufficient to paralyse initiative, for it hands over
the will of men to the disposition of him who has bought their
activities.
The abstraction of freedom has enabled us to persuade the
mob in all countries that their government is nothing but the
steward of the people who are the owners of the country, and that
the steward may be replaced like a worn-out glove.
It is this possibility of replacing the representatives of
the people which has placed them at our disposal, and, as it
were, given us the power of appointment.
PROTOCOL NO. 2
Economic Wars--the foundation of the Jewish predominance.
Figure-head government and "secret advisers." Successes of
destructive doctrines. Adaptability in politics. Part played
by the Press. Cost of gold and value of Jewish sacrifice.
It is indispensable for our purpose that wars, so far as
possible, should not result in territorial gains: war will thus
be brought on to the economic ground, where the nations will not
fail to perceive in the assistance we give the strength of our
predominance, and this state of things will put both sides at the
mercy of our international agentur; which possesses millions of
eyes ever on the watch and unhampered my any limitations
whatsoever. Our international rights will then wipe out national
rights, in the proper sense of right, and will rule the nations
precisely as the civil law of States rules the relations of their
subjects among themselves.
The administrators, whom we shall choose from among the
public, with strict regard to their capacities for servile
obedience, will not be persons trained in the arts of government,
and will therefore easily become pawns in our game in the hands
of men of learning and genius who will be their advisers,
specialists bred and reared from early childhood to rule the
affairs of the whole world. As is well known to you, these
specialists of ours have been drawing to fit them for rule the
information they need from our political plans from the lessons
of history, from observations made of the events of every moment
as it passes. The goyim are not guided by practical use of
unprejudiced historical observation, but by theoretical routine
without any critical regard for consequent results. We need not,
therefore, take any account of them -- let them amuse themselves
until the hour strikes, or live on hopes of new forms of
enterprising pastime, or on the memories of all they have
enjoyed. For them let that play the principal part which we have
persuaded them to accept as the dictates of science (theory). It
is with this object in view that we are constantly, by means of
our press, arousing a blind confidence in these theories. The
intellectuals of the goyim will puff themselves up with their
knowledge and without any logical verification of them will put
into effect all the information available from science, which our
agentur specialists have cunningly pieced together for the
purpose of educating their minds in the direction we want.
Do not suppose for a moment that these statements are empty
words: think carefully of the successes we arranged for
Darwinism, Marxism, Nietzscheism. To us Jews, at any rate, it
should be plain to see what a disintegrating importance these
directives have had upon the minds of the goyim.
It is indispensable for us to take account of the thoughts,
characters, tendencies of the nations in order to avoid making
slips in the political and in the direction of administrative
affairs. The triumph of our system, of which the component parts
of the machinery may be variously disposed according to the
temperament of the peoples met on our way, will fail of success
if the practical application of it be not based upon a summing up
of the lessons of the past in the light of the present.
In the hands of the States of to-day there is a great force
that creates the movement of thought in the people, and that is
the Press. The part played by the Press is to keep pointing out
requirements supposed to be indispensable, to give voice to the
complaints of the people, to express and create discontent. It is
in the Press that the triumph of freedom of speech finds its
incarnation. But the goyim States have not known how to make use
of this force; and it has fallen into our hands. Through the
Press we have gained the power to influence while remaining
ourselves in the shade: thanks to the Press we have got the
gold in our hands, notwithstanding that we have had to gather
it out of the oceans of blood and tears. But it has paid us,
though we have sacrificed many of our people. Each victim on
our side is worth in the sight of God a thousand goyim.
