PROTOCOLS OF ZION

Intro from George Lincoln Rockwell’s book – WHITE POWER!

“Let me introduce the reader to the Jewish blueprint for all that has gone before the promotion of degeneracy, anarchy, class warfare, economic piracy, the whole works.
In 1906 the secret Jewish blueprint for all this hell let loose upon the world was placed in the
British Museum in London. It is called The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, published
in Russia in 1905, and consists of 24 protocols with 293 numbered paragraphs. The term
“goyim,” meaning Gentile or non-Jew, is used throughout the Protocols. “The Political” means
the entire machinery of politics.
I cannot commend it too highly to the reader, in its entirety.
The Jews howl bitterly that these documents are a “forgery.” But this is as irrelevant as
claiming that a man did not commit a murder with one particular knife – but another knife
altogether. It matters not which knife was used. The fact is that somebody did a murder. The
Protocols, long before World War I or II, set forth with horrible clarity exactly what some group would bring about in the way of world wars, inflations, depressions, and moral subversions – how they would do it, and to whom they would do it.
And sixty years later, not one word has failed of fulfillment exactly as set forth in the
Protocols. If they are “forged” then it was done by a genius that knew exactly what the Jews of the world would do for sixty years, with not partial, but perfect accuracy. The protocols alone, of all knowledge on this earth, give one the power to predict historical events successfully, as I have been able to do since studying them. And a theory that enables scientific, calculated prediction is not the mark of a fraud, but always the mark of a realistic theory.
Henry Ford said of the Protocols, thirty-five years ago, that they were being ruthlessly fulfilled, which was enough proof for him of their genuineness. Adolf Hitler ten years later said the same thing. And any man who takes the trouble to read these astounding documents will find the same thing. If they were not written by a Jew, they were written with devilish accuracy about the Jews.
They enable humanity, for the first time, to understand what, before, seemed impossible
chaos. All the chaos, the mad “art,” the Communism, the moral filth, the control of the press
and entertainment, the development of World Wars, the insane setting of labor against capital and vice versa – all these things become calculated elements of a steadily progressing plan by a nation, or race, which masquerades throughout the world as a “religion” in order to accomplish this awful work of destruction under the cover of “religious tolerance.”
Here are some sample quotes from these (is the full text of this – BDL1983) astounding document, which, in any case, was deposited in the British Museum before 1900, so that their predictions of things like world wars, etc., must be rated as either very accurate, or else as the most miraculous series of coincidences in history.”

THE PROTOCOLS OF THE LEARNED
ELDERS OF ZION

PREFACE
(Translated by Victor E. Marsden)
The author of this translation of the famous Protocols was himself a victim of the
Revolution. He had lived for many years in Russia and was married to a Russian lady.
Among his other activities in Russia he had been for a number of years a Russian
Correspondent of the MORNING POST, a position which he occupied when the
Revolution broke out, and his vivid descriptions of events in Russia will still be in the
recollection of many of the readers of that Journal. Naturally he was singled out for the
anger of the Soviet.
On the day that Captain Cromie was murdered by Jews, Victor Marsden was
arrested and thrown into the Peter-Paul Prison, expecting every day to have his name
called out for execution. This, however, he escaped, and eventually he was allowed to
return to England very much of a wreck in bodily health. However, he recovered under
treatment and the devoted care of his wife and friends. One of the first things he
undertook, as soon as he was able, was this translation of the Protocols.
Mr. Marsden was eminently well qualified for the work. His intimate acquaintance
with Russia, Russian life and the Russian language on the one hand, and his mastery
of a terse literary English style on the other, placed him in a position of advantage
which few others could claim. The consequence is that we have in his version an
eminently readable work, and though the subject-matter is somewhat formless, Mr.
Marsden’s literary touch reveals the thread running through the twenty-four Protocols.
It may be said with truth that this work was carried out at the cost of Mr. Marsden’s
own life’s blood.
He told the writer of this Preface that he could not stand more than an hour at a
time of his work on it in the British Museum, as the diabolical spirit of the matter
which he was obliged to turn into English made him positively ill.
Mr. Marsden’s connection with the MORNING POST was not severed by his return to
England, and he was well enough to accept the post of special correspondent of that
journal in the suite of H.R.H., the Prince of Wales on his Empire tour. From this he
returned with the Prince, apparently in much better health, but within a few days of
his landing he was taken suddenly ill, and died after a very brief illness.
May this work be his crowning monument! In it he has performed an immense
service to the English-speaking world, and there can be little doubt that it will take its
place in the first rank of the English versions of “THE PROTOCOLS of the Meetings of
the LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION.”

INTRODUCTION
Of the Protocols themselves little need be said in the way of introduction. The book
in which they are embodied was published by Sergyei Nilus in Russia in 1905. A copy
of this is in the British Museum bearing the date of its reception, August 10, 1906. All
copies that were known to exist in Russia were destroyed in the Kerensky regime, and
under his successors the possession of a copy by anyone in Soviet land was a crime
sufficient to ensure the owner’s of being shot on sight. The fact is in itself sufficient
proof of the genuineness of the Protocols. The Jewish journals, of course, say that
they are a forgery, leaving it to be understood that Professor Nilus, who embodied
them in a work of his own, had concocted them for his own purposes.
Mr. Henry Ford, in an interview published in the New York WORLD, February 17th,
1921, put the case for Nilus tersely and convincingly thus: “The only statement I care
to make about the PROTOCOLS is that they fit in with what is going on. They are
sixteen years old, and they have fitted the world situation up to this time. THEY FIT IT
NOW.” Indeed they do!
The word “Protocol” signifies a precis gummed on to the front of a document, a
draft of a document, minutes of proceedings. In this instance, “Protocol” means
minutes of the proceedings of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of Zion. These
Protocols give the substance of addresses delivered to the innermost circle of the
Rulers of Zion. They reveal the converted plan of action of the Jewish Nation
developed through the ages and edited by the Elders themselves up to date. Parts and
summaries of the plan have been published from time to time during the centuries as
the secrets of the Elders have leaked out.
The claim of the Jews that the Protocols are forgeries is in itself an admission of
their genuineness, for they NEVER ATTEMPT TO ANSWER THE FACTS corresponding to
the THREATS which the Protocols contain, and, indeed, the correspondence between
prophecy and fulfillment is too glaring to be set aside or obscured. This the Jews well
know and therefore evade.
The presumption is strong that the Protocols were issued, or reissued, at the First
Zionist Congress held at Basle in 1897 under the presidency of the Father of Modern
Zionism, the late Theodore Herzl. There has been recently published a volume of
Herzl’s “Diaries,” a translation of some passages which appeared in the JEWISH
CHRONICLE of July 14, 1922.
Herzl gives an account of his first visit to England in 1895, and his conversation
with Colonel Goldsmid, a Jew brought up as a Christian, an officer in the English Army,
and at heart a Jew Nationalist all the time. Goldsmid suggested to Herzl that the best
way of expropriating the English aristocracy, and so destroying their power to protect
the people of England against Jew domination, was to put excessive taxes on the land.
Herzl thought this an excellent idea, and it is now to be found definitely embodied in
Protocol VI!
The above extract from Herzl’s DIARY is an extremely significant bit of evidence
bearing on the existence of the Jew World Plot and authenticity of the Protocols, but
any reader of intelligence will be able from his own knowledge of recent history and
from his own experience to confirm the genuineness of every line of them, and it is in
the light of this LIVING comment that all readers are invited to study Mr. Marsden’s
translation of this terribly inhuman document. And here is another very significant
circumstance.
The present successor of Herzl, as leader of the Zionist movement, Dr. Weizmann,
quoted one of these sayings at the send-off banquet given to Chief Rabbi Hertz on
October 6, 1920. The Chief Rabbi was on the point of leaving for HIS Empire tour of
H.R.H., the Prince of Wales. And this is the “saying” of the Sages which Dr. Weizmann
quoted: “A beneficent protection which God has instituted in the life of the Jew is that
He has dispersed him all over the world.” (JEWISH GUARDIAN, Oct. 8, 1920.) Now
compare this with the last clause of but one of Protocol XI. “God has granted to us, His
Chosen People, the gift of dispersion, and from this, which appears to all eyes to be
our weakness, has come forth all our strength, which has now brought us to the
threshold of sovereignty over all the world.”
The remarkable correspondence between these passages proves several things. It
proves that the Learned Elders exist. It proves that Dr. Weizmann knows all about
them. It proves that the desire for a “National Home” in Palestine is only camouflage
and an infinitesimal part of the Jew’s real object. It proves that the Jews of the world
have no intention of settling in Palestine or any separate country, and that their
annual prayer that they may all meet “Next Year in Jerusalem” is merely a piece of
their characteristic make-believe. It also demonstrates that the Jews are now a world
menace, and that the Aryan races will have to domicile them permanently out of
Europe..

WHO ARE THE ELDERS?
This is a secret which has not been revealed. They are the Hidden hand. They are
not the “Board of Deputies” (the Jewish Parliament in England) or the “Universal
Israelite Alliance” which sits in Paris. But the late Walter Rathenau of the Allgemeiner
Electricitaets Gesellschaft has thrown a little light on the subject and doubtless he was
in possession of their names, being, in all likelihood, one of the chief leaders himself.
Writing in the WIENER FREIE PRESSE, December 24, 1912, he said: “Three hundred
men, each of whom knows all the others, govern the fate of the European continent,
and they elect their successors from their entourage.”
In the year 1844, on the eve of the Jewish Revolution of 1848, Benjamin Disraeli,
whose real name was Israel, and who was a “damped,” or baptized Jew, published his
novel, CONINGSBY, in which occurs this ominous passage: “The world is governed by
very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the
scenes.” And he went on to show that these personages were all Jews.
Now that Providence has brought to the light of day these secret Protocols all men
may clearly see the hidden personages specified by Disraeli at work “behind the
scenes” of all the Governments. This revelation entails on all white peoples the grave
responsibility of examining and revising AU FOND their attitude towards the Race and
Nation which boasts of its survival over all Empires.
Notes I. – “Agentur” and “The Political.” There are two words in this translation
which are unusual, the word “AGENTUR” and “political” used as a substantive,
AGENTUR appears to be a word adopted from the original and it means the whole
body of agents and agencies made use of by the Elders, whether members of the tribe
or their Gentile tools. By “the Political” Mr. Marsden means, not exactly the “body
politic” but the entire machinery of politics.
Notes II – The Symbolic Snake of Judaism. Protocol III opens with a reference to
the Symbolic Snake of Judaism. In his Epilogue to the 1905 Edition of the Protocols,
Nilus gives the following interesting account of this symbol: “According to the records
of secret Jewish Zionism, Solomon and other Jewish learned men already, in 929 B.C.,
thought out a scheme in theory for a peaceful conquest of the whole universe by Zion.
As history developed, this scheme was worked out in detail and completed by men
who were subsequently initiated in this question. These learned men decided by
peaceful means to conquer the world for Zion with the slyness of the Symbolic Snake,
whose head was to represent those who have been initiated into the plans of the
Jewish administration, and the body of the Snake to represent the Jewish people – the
administration was always kept secret, EVEN FROM THE JEWISH NATION ITSELF. As
this Snake penetrated into the hearts of the nations which it encountered it
undermined and devoured all the non-Jewish power of these States.
It is foretold that the Snake has still to finish its work, strictly adhering to the
designed plan, until the course which it has to run is closed by the return of its head to
Zion and until, by this means, the Snake has completed its round of Europe and has
encircled it – and until, by dint of enchaining Europe, it has encompassed the whole
world. This it is to accomplish by using every endeavor to subdue the other countries
by an ECONOMICAL CONQUEST.
The return of the head of the Snake to Zion can only be accomplished after the
power of all the Sovereign of Europe has been laid low, that is to say, when by means
of economic crises and wholesale destruction effected everywhere, there shall have
been brought about a spiritual demoralization and a moral corruption, chiefly with the
assistance of Jewish women masquerading as French, Italians, etc.. These are the
surest spreaders of licentiousness into the lives of the leading men at the heads of
nations.
A map of the course of the Symbolic Snake is shown as follows: – Its first stage in
Europe was in 429 B.C. in Greece, where, about the time of Pericles, the Snake first
started eating into the power of that country. The second stage was in Rome in the
time of Augustus, about 69 B.C.. The third in Madrid in the time of Charles V, in A.D.
1552. The fourth in Paris about 1790, in the time of Louis XVI. The fifth in London
from 1814 onwards (after the downfall of Napoleon). The sixth in Berlin in 1871 after
the Franco-Prussian war. The seventh in St. Petersburg, over which is drawn the head
of the Snake under the date of 1881. [This “Snake” is now being drawn through the
Americas and in the United States of America, it is been partially identified as the
“Counsel on Foreign Relations” (C.F.R.) and the “Tri-Lateral Commission”].
All these States which the Snake traversed have had the foundations of their
constitutions shaken, Germany, with its apparent power, forming no exception to the
rule. In economic conditions, England and Germany are spared, but only till the
conquest of Russia is accomplished by the Snake, on which at present [i.e., 1905] all
its efforts are concentrated. The further course of the Snake is not shown on this map,
but arrows indicate its next movement towards Moscow, Kieft and Odessa. It is now
well known to us to what extent the latter cities form the centuries of the militant
Jewish race. Constantinople is shown as the last stage of the Snake’s course before it
reaches Jerusalem. (This map was drawn years before the occurrence of the “Young
Turk” – i.e., Jewish – Revolution in Turkey). den.
Notes III. – The term “Goyim,” meaning Gentile or non-Jews, is used throughout
the Protocols and is retained by Mr. Mars.

PROTOCOLS OF THE MEETINGS OF THE LEARNED
ELDERS OF ZION

PROTOCOL No. 1
1. ….Putting aside fine phrases we shall speak of the significance of each thought:
by comparisons and deductions we shall throw light upon surrounding facts.
2. What I am about to set forth, then, is our system from the two points of view,
that of ourselves and that of the GOYIM [i.e., non- Jews].
3. 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
terrorisation, 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.
4. What has restrained the beasts of prey who are called men? What has served for
their guidance hitherto?
5. In the beginnings of the structure of society, they were subjected to brutal and
blind force; after words – to Law, which is the same force, only disguised. I draw the
conclusion that by the law of nature right lies in force.
6. Political freedom is an idea but not a fact. This idea one must know how to apply
whenever it appears necessary with this bait of an idea to attract the masses of the
people to one’s party for the purpose of crushing another who is in authority. This task
is rendered easier of the opponent has himself been infected with the idea of freedom,
SO-CALLED LIBERALISM, and, for the sake of an idea, is willing to yield some of his
power. It is precisely here that the triumph of our theory appears; the slackened reins
of government are immediately, by the law of life, caught up and gathered together by
a new hand, because the blind might of the nation cannot for one single day exist
without guidance, and the new authority merely fits into the place of the old already
weakened by liberalism.
GOLD
7. In our day the power which has replaced that of the rulers who were liberal is the
power of Gold. Time was when Faith ruled. The idea of freedom is impossible of
realization because no one knows how to use it with moderation. It is enough to hand
over a people to self-government for a certain length of time for that people to be
turned into a disorganized mob. From that moment on we get internecine strife which
soon develops into battles between classes, in the midst of which States burn down
and their importance is reduced to that of a heap of ashes.
8. Whether a State exhausts itself in its own convulsions, whether its internal
discord brings it under the power of external foes – in any case it can be accounted
irretrievable lost: IT IS IN OUR POWER. The despotism of Capital, which is entirely in
our hands, reaches out to it a straw that the State, willy-nilly, must take hold of: if not
– it goes to the bottom.
9. Should anyone of a liberal mind say that such reflections as the above are
immoral, I would put the following questions: If every State has two foes and if in
regard to the external foe it is allowed and not considered immoral to use every
manner and art of conflict, as for example to keep the enemy in ignorance of plans of
attack and defense, to attack him by night or in superior numbers, then in what way
can the same means in regard to a worse foe, the destroyer of the structure of society
and the commonweal, be called immoral and not permissible?
10. Is it possible for any sound logical mind to hope with any success to guide
crowds by the aid of reasonable counsels and arguments, when any objection or
contradiction, senseless though it may be, can be made and when such objection may
find more favor with the people, whose powers of reasoning are superficial? Men in
masses and the men of the masses, being guided solely by petty passions, paltry
beliefs, traditions and sentimental theorems, fall a prey to party dissension, which
hinders any kind of agreement even on the basis of a perfectly reasonable argument.
Every resolution of a crowd depends upon a chance or packed majority, which, in its
ignorance of political secrets, puts forth some ridiculous resolution that lays in the
administration a seed of anarchy.
11. The political has nothing in common with the moral. The ruler who is governed
by the moral is not a skilled politician, and is therefore unstable on his throne. He who
wishes to rule must have recourse both to cunning and to make-believe. Great
national qualities, like frankness and honesty, are vices in politics, for they bring down
rulers from their thrones more effectively and more certainly than the most powerful
enemy. Such qualities must be the attributes of the kingdoms of the GOYIM, but we
must in no wise be guided by them.
MIGHT IS RIGHT
12. Our right lies in force. The word “right” is an abstract thought and proved by
nothing. The word means no more than: Give me what I want in order that thereby I
may have a proof that I am stronger than you.
13. Where does right begin? Where does it end?
14. In any State in which there is a bad organization of authority, an impersonality
of laws and of the rulers who have lost their personality amid the flood of rights ever
multiplying out of liberalism, I find a new right – to attack by the right of the strong,
and to scatter to the winds all existing forces of order and regulation, to reconstruct all
institutions and to become the sovereign lord of those who have left to us the rights of
their power by laying them down voluntarily in their liberalism.
15. Our power in the present tottering condition of all forms of power will be more
invincible than any other, because it will remain invisible until the moment when it has
gained such strength that no cunning can any longer undermine it.
16. Out of the temporary evil we are now compelled to commit will emerge the
good of an unshakable rule, which will restore the regular course of the machinery of
the national life, brought to naught by liberalism. The result justifies the means. Let
us, however, in our plans, direct our attention not so much to what is good and moral
as to what is necessary and useful.
17. Before us is a plan in which is laid down strategically the line from which we
cannot deviate without running the risk of seeing the labor of many centuries brought
to naught.
18. In order to elaborate satisfactory forms of action it is necessary to have regard
to the rascality, the slackness, the instability of the mob, its lack of capacity to
understand and respect the conditions of its own life, or its own welfare. It must be
understood that the might of a mob is blind, senseless and unreasoning force ever at
the mercy of a suggestion from any side. The blind cannot lead the blind without
bringing them into the abyss; consequently, members of the mob, upstarts from the
people even though they should be as a genius for wisdom, yet having no
understanding of the political, cannot come forward as leaders of the mob without
bringing the whole nation to ruin.
19. Only one trained from childhood for independent rule can have understanding of
the words that can be made up of the political alphabet.
20. A people left to itself, i.e., to upstarts from its midst, brings itself to ruin by
party dissensions excited by the pursuit of power and honors and the disorders arising
therefrom. Is it possible for the masses of the people calmly and without petty
jealousies to form judgment, to deal with the affairs of the country, which cannot be
mixed up with personal interest? Can they defend themselves from an external foe? It
is unthinkable; for a plan broken up into as many parts as there are heads in the mob,
loses all homogeneity, and thereby becomes unintelligible and impossible of execution.
WE ARE DESPOTS
21. It is only with a despotic ruler that plans can be elaborated extensively and
clearly in such a way as to distribute the whole properly among the several parts of
the machinery of the State: from this the conclusion is inevitable that a satisfactory
form of government for any country is one that concentrates in the hands of one
responsible person. Without an absolute despotism there can be no existence for
civilization which is carried on not by the masses but by their guide, whosoever that
person may be. The mob is savage, and displays its savagery at every opportunity.
The moment the mob seizes freedom in its hands it quickly turns to anarchy, which in
itself is the highest degree of savagery.
22. Behold the alcoholic animals, bemused with drink, the right to an immoderate
use of which comes along with freedom. It is not for us and ours to walk that road.
The peoples of the GOYIM are bemused with alcoholic liquors; their youth has grown
stupid on classicism and from early immorality, into which it has been inducted by our
special agents – by tutors, lackeys, governesses in the houses of the wealthy, by
clerks and others, by our women in the places of dissipation frequented by the GOYIM.
In the number of these last I count also the so-called “society ladies,” voluntary
followers of the others in corruption and luxury.
23. Our countersign is – Force and Make-believe. Only force conquers in political
affairs, especially if it be concealed in the talents essential to statesmen. Violence
must be the principle, and cunning and make-believe the rule for governments which
do not want to lay down their crowns at the feet of agents of some new power. This
evil is the one and only means to attain the end, the good. Therefore we must not stop
at bribery, deceit and treachery when they should serve towards the attainment of our
end. In politics one must know how to seize the property of others without hesitation if
by it we secure submission and sovereignty.
24. Our State, marching along the path of peaceful conquest, has the right to
replace the horrors of war by less noticeable and more satisfactory sentences of death,
necessary to maintain the terror which tends to produce blind submission. Just but
merciless severity is the greatest factor of strength in the State: not only for the sake
of gain but also in the name of duty, for the sake of victory, we must keep to the
programme of violence and make-believe. The doctrine of squaring accounts is
precisely as strong as the means of which it makes use. Therefore it is not so much by
the means themselves as by the doctrine of severity that we shall triumph and bring
all governments into subjection to our super-government. It is enough for them to
know that we are too merciless for all disobedience to cease.
WE SHALL END LIBERTY
25. Far back in ancient times we were the first to cry among the masses of the
people the words “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,” words many times repeated since
these days by stupid poll- parrots who, from all sides around, flew down upon these
baits and with them carried away the well-being of the world, true freedom of the
individual, formerly so well guarded against the pressure of the mob. The would-be
wise men of the GOYIM, the intellectuals, could not make anything out of the uttered
words in their abstractedness; did not see that in nature there is no equality, cannot
be freedom: that Nature herself has established inequality of minds, of characters, and
capacities, just as immutably as she has established subordination to her laws: never
stopped to think that the mob is a blind thing, that upstarts elected from among it to
bear rule are, in regard to the political, the same blind men as the mob itself, that the
adept, though he be a fool, can yet rule, whereas the non-adept, even if he were a
genius, understands nothing in the political – to all those things the GOYIM paid no
regard; yet all the time it was based upon these things that dynastic rule rested: the
father passed on to the son a knowledge of the course of political affairs in such wise
that none should know it but members of the dynasty and none could betray it to the
governed. As time went on, the meaning of the dynastic transference of the true
position of affairs in the political was lost, and this aided the success of our cause.
26. In all corners of the earth the words “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,” brought to
our ranks, thanks to our blind agents, whole legions who bore our banners with
enthusiasm. And all the time these words were canker-worms at work boring into the
well-being of the GOYIM, putting an end everywhere to peace, quiet, solidarity and
destroying all the foundations of the GOYA States. As you will see later, this helped us
to our triumph: it gave us the possibility, among other things, of getting into our
hands the master card – the destruction of the privileges, or in other words of the very
existence of the aristocracy of the GOYIM, that class which was the only defense
peoples and countries had against us. On the ruins of the eternal and genealogical
aristocracy of the GOYIM we have set up the aristocracy of our educated class headed
by the aristocracy of money. The qualifications for this aristocracy we have established
in wealth, which is dependent upon us, and in knowledge, for which our learned elders
provide the motive force.
27. Our triumph has been rendered easier by the fact that in our relations with the
men, whom we wanted, we have always worked upon the most sensitive chords of the
human mind, upon the cash account, upon the cupidity, upon the insatiability for
material needs of man; and each one of these human weaknesses, taken alone, is
sufficient to paralyze initiative, for it hands over the will of men to the disposition of
him who has bought their activities.
28. The abstraction of freedom has enabled us to persuade the mob in all countries
that their government is nothing but the steward of the people who are the owners of
the country, and that the steward may be replaced like a worn-out glove.
29. It is this possibility of replacing the representatives of the people which has
placed at our disposal, and, as it were, given us the power of appointment.

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

PROTOCOL No. 3
1. To-day I may tell you that our goal is now only a few steps off. There remains a
small space to cross and the whole long path we have trodden is ready now to close
its cycle of the Symbolic Snake, by which we symbolize our people. When this ring
closes, all the States of Europe will be locked in its coil as in a powerful vice.
2. The constitution scales of these days will shortly break down, for we have
established them with a certain lack of accurate balance in order that they may
oscillate incessantly until they wear through the pivot on which they turn. The GOYIM
are under the impression that they have welded them sufficiently strong and they
have all along kept on expecting that the scales would come into equilibrium. But the
pivots – the kings on their thrones – are hemmed in by their representatives, who play
the fool, distraught with their own uncontrolled and irresponsible power. This power
they owe to the terror which has been breathed into the palaces. As they have no
means of getting at their people, into their very midst, the kings on their thrones are
no longer able to come to terms with them and so strengthen themselves against
seekers after power. We have made a gulf between the far-seeing Sovereign Power
and the blind force of the people so that both have lost all meaning, for like the blind
man and his stick, both are powerless apart.
3. In order to incite seekers after power to a misuse of power we have set all forces
in opposition one to another, breaking up their liberal tendencies towards
independence. To this end we have stirred up every form of enterprise, we have
armed all parties, we have set up authority as a target for every ambition. Of States
we have made gladiatorial arenas where a lot of confused issues contend …. A little
more, and disorders and bankruptcy will be universal ….
4. Babblers, inexhaustible, have turned into oratorical contests the sittings of
Parliament and Administrative Boards. Bold journalists and unscrupulous pamphleteers
daily fall upon executive officials. Abuses of power will put the final touch in preparing
all institutions for their overthrow and everything will fly skyward under the blows of
the maddened mob.
POVERTY OUR WEAPON
5. All people are chained down to heavy toil by poverty more firmly than ever. They
were chained by slavery and serfdom; from these, one way and another, they might
free themselves. These could be settled with, but from want they will never get away.
We have included in the constitution such rights as to the masses appear fictitious and
not actual rights. All these so-called “Peoples Rights” can exist only in idea, an idea
which can never be realized in practical life. What is it to the proletariat laborer, bowed
double over his heavy toil, crushed by his lot in life, if talkers get the right to babble, if
journalists get the right to scribble any nonsense side by side with good stuff, once the
proletariat has no other profit out of the constitution save only those pitiful crumbs
which we fling them from our table in return for their voting in favor of what we
dictate, in favor of the men we place in power, the servants of our AGENTUR …
Republican rights for a poor man are no more than a bitter piece of irony, for the
necessity he is under of toiling almost all day gives him no present use of them, but
the other hand robs him of all guarantee of regular and certain earnings by making
him dependent on strikes by his comrades or lockouts by his masters.
WE SUPPORT COMMUNISM
6. The people, under our guidance, have annihilated the aristocracy, who were their
one and only defense and foster- mother for the sake of their own advantage which is
inseparably bound up with the well-being of the people. Nowadays, with the
destruction of the aristocracy, the people have fallen into the grips of merciless
money-grinding scoundrels who have laid a pitiless and cruel yoke upon the necks of
the workers.
7. We appear on the scene as alleged saviours of the worker from this oppression
when we propose to him to enter the ranks of our fighting forces – Socialists,
Anarchists, Communists – to whom we always give support in accordance with an
alleged brotherly rule (of the solidarity of all humanity) of our SOCIAL MASONRY. The
aristocracy, which enjoyed by law the labor of the workers, was interested in seeing
that the workers were well fed, healthy, and strong. We are interested in just the
opposite – in the diminution, the KILLING OUT OF THE GOYIM. Our power is in the
chronic shortness of food and physical weakness of the worker because by all that this
implies he is made the slave of our will, and he will not find in his own authorities
either strength or energy to set against our will. Hunger creates the right of capital to
rule the worker more surely than it was given to the aristocracy by the legal authority
of kings.
8. By want and the envy and hatred which it engenders we shall move the mobs
and with their hands we shall wipe out all those who hinder us on our way.
9. WHEN THE HOUR STRIKES FOR OUR SOVEREIGN LORD OF ALL THE WORLD TO
BE CROWNED IT IS THESE SAME HANDS WHICH WILL SWEEP AWAY EVERYTHING
THAT MIGHT BE A HINDRANCE THERETO.
10. The GOYIM have lost the habit of thinking unless prompted by the suggestions
of our specialists. Therefore they do not see the urgent necessity of what we, when
our kingdom comes, shall adopt at once, namely this, that IT IS ESSENTIAL TO TEACH
IN NATIONAL SCHOOLS ONE SIMPLE, TRUE PIECE OF KNOWLEDGE, THE BASIS OF
ALL KNOWLEDGE – THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE STRUCTURE OF HUMAN LIFE, OF SOCIAL
EXISTENCE, WHICH REQUIRES DIVISION OF LABOR, AND, CONSEQUENTLY, THE
DIVISION OF MEN INTO CLASSES AND CONDITIONS. It is essential for all to know
that OWING TO DIFFERENCE IN THE OBJECTS OF HUMAN ACTIVITY THERE CANNOT
BE ANY EQUALITY, that he, who by any act of his compromises a whole class, cannot
be equally responsible before the law with him who affects no one but only his own
honor. The true knowledge of the structure of society, into the secrets of which we do
not admit the GOYIM, would demonstrate to all men that the positions and work must
be kept within a certain circle, that they may not become a source of human suffering,
arising from an education which does not correspond with the work which individuals
are called upon to do. After a thorough study of this knowledge, the peoples will
voluntarily submit to authority and accept such position as is appointed them in the
State. In the present state of knowledge and the direction we have given to its
development of the people, blindly believing things in print – cherishes – thanks to
promptings intended to mislead and to its own ignorance – a blind hatred towards all
conditions which it considers above itself, for it has no understanding of the meaning
of class and condition.
JEWS WILL BE SAFE
11. THIS HATRED WILL BE STILL FURTHER MAGNIFIED BY THE EFFECTS of an
ECONOMIC CRISES, which will stop dealing on the exchanges and bring industry to a
standstill. We shall create by all the secret subterranean methods open to us and with
the aid of gold, which is all in our hands, A UNIVERSAL ECONOMIC CRISES WHEREBY
WE SHALL THROW UPON THE STREETS WHOLE MOBS OF WORKERS
SIMULTANEOUSLY IN ALL THE COUNTRIES OF EUROPE. These mobs will rush
delightedly to shed the blood of those whom, in the simplicity of their ignorance, they
have envied from their cradles, and whose property they will then be able to loot.
12. “OURS” THEY WILL NOT TOUCH, BECAUSE THE MOMENT OF ATTACK WILL BE
KNOWN TO US AND WE SHALL TAKE MEASURES TO PROTECT OUR OWN.
13. We have demonstrated that progress will bring all the GOYIM to the sovereignty
of reason. Our despotism will be precisely that; for it will know how, by wise
severities, to pacificate all unrest, to cauterize liberalism out of all institutions.
14. When the populace has seen that all sorts of concessions and indulgences are
yielded it, in the same name of freedom it has imagined itself to be sovereign lord and
has stormed its way to power, but, naturally like every other blind man, it has come
upon a host of stumbling blocks. IT HAS RUSHED TO FIND A GUIDE, IT HAS NEVER
HAD THE SENSE TO RETURN TO THE FORMER STATE and it has laid down its
plenipotentiary powers at OUR feet. Remember the French Revolution, to which it was
we who gave the name of “Great”: the secrets of its preparations are well known to us
for it was wholly the work of our hands.
15 Ever since that time we have been leading the peoples from one disenchantment
to another, so that in the end they should turn also from us in favor of that KINGDESPOT
OF THE BLOOD OF ZION, WHOM WE ARE PREPARING FOR THE WORLD.
16. At the present day we are, as an international force, invincible, because if
attacked by some we are supported by other States. It is the bottomless rascality of
the GOYIM peoples, who crawl on their bellies to force, but are merciless towards
weakness, unsparing to faults and indulgent to crimes, unwilling to bear the
contradictions of a free social system but patient unto martyrdom under the violence
of a bold despotism – it is those qualities which are aiding us to independence. From
the premier- dictators of the present day, the GOYIM peoples suffer patiently and bear
such abuses as for the least of them they would have beheaded twenty kings.
17. What is the explanation of this phenomenon, this curious inconsequence of the
masses of the peoples in their attitude towards what would appear to be events of the
same order?
18. It is explained by the fact that these dictators whisper to the peoples through
their agents that through these abuses they are inflicting injury on the States with the
highest purpose – to secure the welfare of the peoples, the international brotherhood
of them all, their solidarity and equality of rights. Naturally they do not tell the peoples
that this unification must be accomplished only under our sovereign rule.
19. And thus the people condemn the upright and acquit the guilty, persuaded ever
more and more that it can do whatsoever it wishes. Thanks to this state of things, the
people are destroying every kind of stability and creating disorders at every step.
20. The word “freedom” brings out the communities of men to fight against every
kind of force, against every kind of authority even against God and the laws of nature.
For this reason we, when we come into our kingdom, shall have to erase this word
from the lexicon of life as implying a principle of brute force which turns mobs into
bloodthirsty beasts.
21. These beasts, it is true, fall asleep again every time when they have drunk their
fill of blood, and at such time can easily be riveted into their chains. But if they be not
given blood they will not sleep and continue to struggle

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

PROTOCOL No. 5
1. What form of administrative rule can be given to communities in which
corruption has penetrated everywhere, communities where riches are attained only by
the clever surprise tactics of semi-swindling tricks; where looseness reigns: where
morality is maintained by penal measures and harsh laws but not by voluntarily
accepted principles: where the feelings towards faith and country are obligated by
cosmopolitan convictions? What form of rule is to be given to these communities if not
that despotism which I shall describe to you later? We shall create an intensified
centralization of government in order to grip in our hands all the forces of the
community. We shall regulate mechanically all the actions of the political life of our
subjects by new laws. These laws will withdraw one by one all the indulgences and
liberties which have been permitted by the GOYIM, and our kingdom will be
distinguished by a despotism of such magnificent proportions as to be at any moment
and in every place in a position to wipe out any GOYIM who oppose us by deed or
word.
2. We shall be told that such a despotism as I speak of is not consistent with the
progress of these days, but I will prove to you that is is.
3. In the times when the peoples looked upon kings on their thrones as on a pure
manifestation of the will of God, they submitted without a murmur to the despotic
power of kings: but from the day when we insinuated into their minds the conception
of their own rights they began to regard the occupants of thrones as mere ordinary
mortals. The holy unction of the Lord’s Anointed has fallen from the heads of kings in
the eyes of the people, and when we also robbed them of their faith in God the might
of power was flung upon the streets into the place of public proprietorship and was
seized by us.
MASSES LED BY LIES
4. Moreover, the art of directing masses and individuals by means of cleverly
manipulated theory and verbitage, by regulations of life in common and all sorts of
other quirks, in all which the GOYIM understand nothing, belongs likewise to the
specialists of our administrative brain. Reared on analysis, observation, on delicacies
of fine calculation, in this species of skill we have no rivals, any more than we have
either in the drawing up of plans of political actions and solidarity. In this respect the
Jesuits alone might have compared with us, but we have contrived to discredit them in
the eyes of the unthinking mob as an overt organization, while we ourselves all the
while have kept our secret organization in the shade. However, it is probably all the
same to the world who is its sovereign lord, whether the head of Catholicism or our
despot of the blood of Zion! But to us, the Chosen People, it is very far from being a
matter of indifference.
5. FOR A TIME PERHAPS WE MIGHT BE SUCCESSFULLY DEALT WITH BY A
COALITION OF THE “GOYIM” OF ALL THE WORLD: but from this danger we are
secured by the discord existing among them whose roots are so deeply seated that
they can never now be plucked up. We have set one against another the personal and
national reckonings of the GOYIM, religious and race hatreds, which we have fostered
into a huge growth in the course of the past twenty centuries. This is the reason why
there is not one State which would anywhere receive support if it were to raise its
arm, for every one of them must bear in mind that any agreement against us would be
unprofitable to itself. We are too strong – there is no evading our power. THE NATIONS
CANNOT COME TO EVEN AN INCONSIDERABLE PRIVATE AGREEMENT WITHOUT OUR
SECRETLY HAVING A HAND IN IT.
6. PER ME REGES REGNANT. “It is through me that Kings reign.” And it was said by
the prophets that we were chosen by God Himself to rule over the whole earth. God
has endowed us with genius that we may be equal to our task. Were genius in the
opposite camp it would still struggle against us, but even so, a newcomer is no match
for the old-established settler: the struggle would be merciless between us, such a
fight as the world has never seen. Aye, and the genius on their side would have
arrived too late. All the wheels of the machinery of all States go by the force of the
engine, which is in our hands, and that engine of the machinery of States is – Gold.
The science of political economy invented by our learned elders has for long past been
giving royal prestige to capital.
MONOPOLY CAPITAL
7. Capital, if it is to co-operate untrammeled, must be free to establish a monopoly
of industry and trade: this is already being put in execution by an unseen hand in all
quarters of the world. This freedom will give political force to those engaged in
industry, and that will help to oppress the people. Nowadays it is more important to
disarm the peoples than to lead them into war: more important to use for our
advantage the passions which have burst into flames than to quench their fire: more
important to eradicate them. THE PRINCIPLE OBJECT OF OUR DIRECTORATE
CONSISTS IN THIS: TO DEBILITATE THE PUBLIC MIND BY CRITICISM; TO LEAD IT
AWAY FROM SERIOUS REFLECTIONS CALCULATED TO AROUSE RESISTANCE; TO
DISTRACT THE FORCES OF THE MIND TOWARDS A SHAM FIGHT OF EMPTY
ELOQUENCE.
8. In all ages the people of the world, equally with individuals, have accepted words
for deeds, for THEY ARE CONTENT WITH A SHOW and rarely pause to note, in the
public arena, whether promises are followed by performance. Therefore we shall
establish show institutions which will give eloquent proof of their benefit to progress.
9. We shall assume to ourselves the liberal physiognomy of all parties, of all
directions, and we shall give that physiognomy a VOICE IN ORATORS WHO WILL
SPEAK SO MUCH THAT THEY WILL EXHAUST THE PATIENCE OF THEIR HEARERS AND
PRODUCE AN ABHORRENCE OF ORATORY.
10. IN ORDER TO PUT PUBLIC OPINION INTO OUR HANDS WE MUST BRING IT
INTO A STATE OF BEWILDERMENT BY GIVING EXPRESSION FROM ALL SIDES TO SO
MANY CONTRADICTORY OPINIONS AND FOR SUCH LENGTH OF TIME AS WILL
SUFFICE TO MAKE THE “GOYIM” LOSE THEIR HEADS IN THE LABYRINTH AND COME
TO SEE THAT THE BEST THING IS TO HAVE NO OPINION OF ANY KIND IN MATTERS
POLITICAL, which it is not given to the public to understand, because they are
understood only by him who guides the public. This is the first secret.
11. The second secret requisite for the success of our government is comprised in
the following: To multiply to such an extent national failings, habits, passions,
conditions of civil life, that it will be impossible for anyone to know where he is in the
resulting chaos, so that the people in consequence will fail to understand one another.
This measure will also serve us in another way, namely, to sow discord in all parties,
to dislocate all collective forces which are still unwilling to submit to us, and to
discourage any kind of personal initiative which might in any degree hinder our affair.
THERE IS NOTHING MORE DANGEROUS THAN PERSONAL INITIATIVE: if it has genius
behind it, such initiative can do more than can be done by millions of people among
whom we have sown discord. We must so direct the education of the GOYIM
communities that whenever they come upon a matter requiring initiative they may
drop their hands in despairing impotence. The strain which results from freedom of
actions saps the forces when it meets with the freedom of another. From this collision
arise grave moral shocks, disenchantments, failures. BY ALL THESE MEANS WE SHALL
SO WEAR DOWN THE “GOYIM” THAT THEY WILL BE COMPELLED TO OFFER US
INTERNATIONAL POWER OF A NATURE THAT BY ITS POSITION WILL ENABLE US
WITHOUT ANY VIOLENCE GRADUALLY TO ABSORB ALL THE STATE FORCES OF THE
WORLD AND TO FORM A SUPER-GOVERNMENT.
In place of the rulers of to-day we shall set up a bogey which will be called the
Super-Government Administration. Its hands will reach out in all directions like nippers
and its organization will be of such colossal dimensions that it cannot fail to subdue all
the nations of the world.

PROTOCOL No. 6
1. We shall soon begin to establish huge monopolies, reservoirs of colossal riches,
upon which even, large fortunes of the GOYIM will depend to such an extent that they
will go to the bottom together with the credit of the States on the day after the
political smash …
2. You gentlemen here present who are economists, just strike an estimate of the
significance of this combination! …
3. In every possible way we must develop the significance of our Super-
Government by representing it as the Protector and Benefactor of all those who
voluntarily submit to us.
4. The aristocracy of the GOYIM as a political force, is dead – We need not take it
into account; but as landed proprietors they can still be harmful to us from the fact
that they are self-sufficing in the resources upon which they live. It is essential
therefore for us at whatever cost to deprive them of their land. This object will be best
attained by increasing the burdens upon landed property – in loading lands with debts.
These measures will check land- holding and keep it in a state of humble and
unconditional submission.
5. The aristocrats of the GOYIM, being hereditarily incapable of contenting
themselves with little, will rapidly burn up and fizzle out.
WE SHALL ENSLAVE GENTILES
6. At the same time we must intensively patronize trade and industry, but, first and
foremost, speculation, the part played by which is to provide a counterpoise to
industry: the absence of speculative industry will multiply capital in private hands and
will serve to restore agriculture by freeing the land from indebtedness to the land
banks. What we want is that industry should drain off from the land both labor and
capital and by means of speculation transfer into our hands all the money of the world,
and thereby throw all the GOYIM into the ranks of the proletariat. Then the GOYIM will
bow down before us, if for no other reason but to get the right to exist.
7. To complete the ruin of the industry of the GOYIM we shall bring to the
assistance of speculation the luxury which we have developed among the GOYIM, that
greedy demand for luxury which is swallowing up everything. WE SHALL RAISE THE
RATE OF WAGES WHICH, HOWEVER, WILL NOT BRING ANY ADVANTAGE TO THE
WORKERS, FOR, AT THE SAME TIME, WE SHALL PRODUCE A RISE IN PRICES OF THE
FIRST NECESSARIES OF LIFE, ALLEGING THAT IT ARISES FROM THE DECLINE OF
AGRICULTURE AND CATTLE-BREEDING: WE SHALL FURTHER UNDERMINE ARTFULLY
AND DEEPLY SOURCES OF PRODUCTION, BY ACCUSTOMING THE WORKERS TO
ANARCHY AND TO DRUNKENNESS AND SIDE BY SIDE THEREWITH TAKING ALL
MEASURE TO EXTIRPATE FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH ALL THE EDUCATED FORCES
OF THE “GOYIM.”
8. IN ORDER THAT THE TRUE MEANING OF THINGS MAY NOT STRIKE THE “GOYIM”
BEFORE THE PROPER TIME WE SHALL MASK IT UNDER AN ALLEGED ARDENT DESIRE
TO SERVE THE WORKING CLASSES AND THE GREAT PRINCIPLES OF POLITICAL
ECONOMY ABOUT WHICH OUR ECONOMIC THEORIES ARE CARRYING ON AN
ENERGETIC PROPAGANDA

PROTOCOL No. 7
1. The intensification of armaments, the increase of police forces – are all essential
for the completion of the aforementioned plans. What we have to get at is that there
should be in all the States of the world, besides ourselves, only the masses of the
proletariat, a few millionaires devoted to our interests, police and soldiers.
2. Throughout all Europe, and by means of relations with Europe, in other
continents also, we must create ferments, discords and hostility. Therein we gain a
double advantage. In the first place we keep in check all countries, for they will know
that we have the power whenever we like to create disorders or to restore order. All
these countries are accustomed to see in us an indispensable force of coercion. In the
second place, by our intrigues we shall tangle up all the threads which we have
stretched into the cabinets of all States by means of the political, by economic
treaties, or loan obligations. In order to succeed in this we must use great cunning and
penetration during negotiations and agreements, but, as regards what is called the
“official language,” we shall keep to the opposite tactics and assume the mask of
honesty and complacency. In this way the peoples and governments of the GOYIM,
whom we have taught to look only at the outside whatever we present to their notice,
will still continue to accept us as the benefactors and saviours of the human race.
UNIVERSAL WAR
3. We must be in a position to respond to every act of opposition by war with the
neighbors of that country which dares to oppose us: but if these neighbors should also
venture to stand collectively together against us, then we must offer resistance by a
universal war.
4. The principal factor of success in the political is the secrecy of its undertakings:
the word should not agree with the deeds of the diplomat.
5. We must compel the governments of the GOYIM to take action in the direction
favored by our widely conceived plan, already approaching the desired consummation,
by what we shall represent as public opinion, secretly promoted by us through the
means of that so-called “Great Power” – THE PRESS, WHICH, WITH A FEW
EXCEPTIONS THAT MAY BE DISREGARDED, IS ALREADY ENTIRELY IN OUR HANDS.
In a word, to sum up our system of keeping the governments of the goyim in
Europe in check, we shall show our strength to one of them by terrorist attempts and
to all, if we allow the possibility of a general rising against us, we shall respond with
the guns of America or China or Japan.

PROTOCOL No. 8
1. We must arm ourselves with all the weapons which our opponents might employ
against us. We must search out in the very finest shades of expression and the knotty
points of the lexicon of law justification for those cases where we shall have to
pronounce judgments that might appear abnormally audacious and unjust, for it is
important that these resolutions should be set forth in expressions that shall seem to
be the most exalted moral principles cast into legal form. Our directorate must
surround itself with all these forces of civilization among which it will have to work. It
will surround itself with publicists, practical jurists, administrators, diplomats and,
finally, with persons prepared by a special super-educational training IN OUR SPECIAL
SCHOOLS. These persons will have consonance of all the secrets of the social
structure, they will know all the languages that can be made up by political alphabets
and words; they will be made acquainted with the whole underside of human nature,
with all its sensitive chords on which they will have to play. These chords are the cast
of mind of the GOYIM, their tendencies, short-comings, vices and qualities, the
particularities of classes and conditions. Needless to say that the talented assistants of
authority, of whom I speak, will be taken not from among the GOYIM, who are
accustomed to perform their administrative work without giving themselves the
trouble to think what its aim is, and never consider what it is needed for. The
administrators of the GOYIM sign papers without reading them, and they serve either
for mercenary reasons or from ambition.
2. We shall surround our government with a whole world of economists. That is the
reason why economic sciences form the principal subject of the teaching given to the
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
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.
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.

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.
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.

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
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
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.
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.
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.

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.

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 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.
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.
18. The one and only person who will have no interest in robbing the State is its
owner, the ruler. This is why his personal control will remove the possibility of
leakages of extravagances.
19. The representative function of the ruler at receptions for the sake of etiquette,
which absorbs so much invaluable time, will be abolished in order that the ruler may
have time for control and consideration. His power will not then be split up into
fractional parts among time-serving favorites who surround the throne for its pomp
and splendor, and are interested only in their own and not in the common interests of
the State.
20. Economic crises have been producer by us for the GOYIM by no other means
than the withdrawal of money from circulation. Huge capitals have stagnated,
withdrawing money from States, which were constantly obliged to apply to those same
stagnant capitals for loans. These loans burdened the finances of the State with the
payment of interest and made them the bond slaves of these capitals …. The
concentration of industry in the hands of capitalists out of the hands of small masters
has drained away all the juices of the peoples and with them also the States ….
21. The present issue of money in general does not correspond with the
requirements per head, and cannot therefore satisfy all the needs of the workers. The
issue of money ought to correspond with the growth of population and thereby
children also must absolutely be reckoned as consumers of currency from the day of
their birth. The revision of issue is a material question for the whole world.
22. YOU ARE AWARE THAT THE GOLD STANDARD HAS BEEN THE RUIN OF THE
STATES WHICH ADOPTED IT, FOR IT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO SATISFY THE DEMANDS
FOR MONEY, THE MORE SO THAT WE HAVE REMOVED GOLD FROM CIRCULATION AS
FAR AS POSSIBLE.
GENTILE STATES BANKRUPT
23. With us the standard that must be introduced is the cost of working-man
power, whether it be reckoned in paper or in wood. We shall make the issue of money
in accordance with the normal requirements of each subject, adding to the quantity
with every birth and subtracting with every death.
24. The accounts will be managed by each department (the French administrative
division), each circle.
25. In order that there may be no delays in the paying our of money for State
needs the sums and terms of such payments will be fixed by decree of the ruler; this
will do away with the protection by a ministry of one institution to the detriment of
others.
26. The budgets of income and expenditure will be carried out side by side that
they may not be obscured by distance one to another.
27. The reforms projected by us in the financial institutions and principles of the
GOYIM will be clothed by us in such forms as will alarm nobody. We shall point out the
necessity of reforms in consequence of the disorderly darkness into which the GOYIM
by their irregularities have plunged the finances. The first irregularity, as we shall
point out, consists in their beginning with drawing up a single budget which year after
year grows owing to the following cause: this budget is dragged out to half the year,
then they demand a budget to put things right, and this they expend in three months,
after which they ask for a supplementary budget, and all this ends with a liquidation
budget. But, as the budget of the following year is drawn up in accordance with the
sum of the total addition, the annual departure from the normal reaches as much as
50 per cent in a year, and so the annual budget is trebled in ten years. Thanks to such
methods, allowed by the carelessness of the GOY States, their treasuries are empty.
The period of loans supervenes, and that has swallowed up remainders and brought all
the GOY States to bankruptcy.
28. You understand perfectly that economic arrangements of this kind, which have
been suggested to the GOYIM by us, cannot be carried on by us.
29. Every kind of loan proves infirmity in the State and a want of understanding of
the rights of the State. Loans hang like a sword of Damocles over the heads of rulers,
who, instead of taking from their subjects by a temporary tax, come begging with
outstretched palm of our bankers. Foreign loans are leeches which there is no
possibility of removing from the body of the State until they fall off of themselves or
the State flings them off. But the GOY States do not tear them off; they go on in
persisting in putting more on to themselves so that they must inevitably perish,
drained by voluntary blood-letting.
TYRANNY OF USURY
30. What also indeed is, in substance, a loan, especially a foreign loan? A loan is –
an issue of government bills of exchange containing a percentage obligation
commensurate to the sum of the loan capital. If the loan bears a charge of 5 per cent,
then in twenty years the State vainly pays away in interest a sum equal to the loan
borrowed, in forty years it is paying a double sum, in sixty – treble, and all the while
the debt remains an unpaid debt.
31. From this calculation it is obvious that with any form of taxation per head the
State is baling out the last coppers of the poor taxpayers in order to settle accounts
with wealth foreigners, from whom it has borrowed money instead of collecting these
coppers for its own needs without the additional interest.
32. So long as loans were internal the GOYIM only shuffled their money from the
pockets of the poor to those of the rich, but when we bought up the necessary person
in order to transfer loans into the external sphere, all the wealth of States flowed into
our cash- boxes and all the GOYIM began to pay us the tribute of subjects.
33. If the superficiality of GOY kings on their thrones in regard to State affairs and
the venality of ministers or the want of understanding of financial matters on the part
of other ruling persons have made their countries debtors to our treasuries to amounts
quite impossible to pay it has not been accomplished without, on our part, heavy
expenditure of trouble and money.
34. Stagnation of money will not be allowed by us and therefore there will be no
State interest-bearing paper, except a one per- cent series, so that there will be no
payment of interest to leeches that suck all the strength out of the State. The right to
issue interest-bearing paper will be given exclusively to industrial companies who will
find no difficulty in paying interest out of profits, whereas the State does not make
interest on borrowed money like these companies, for the State borrows to spend and
not to use in operations.
35. Industrial papers will be bought also by the government which from being as
now a paper of tribute by loan operations will be transformed into a lender of money
at a profit. This measure will stop the stagnation of money, parasitic profits and
idleness, all of which were useful for us among the GOYIM so long as they were
independent but are not desirable under our rule.
36. How clear is the undeveloped power of thought of the purely brute brains of the
GOYIM, as expressed in the fact that they have been borrowing from us with payment
of interest without ever thinking that all the same these very moneys plus an addition
for payment of interest must be got by them from their own State pockets in order to
settle up with us. What could have been simpler than to take the money they wanted
from their own people?
37. But it is a proof of the genius of our chosen mind that we have contrived to
present the matter of loans to them in such a light that they have even seen in them
an advantage for themselves.
38. Our accounts, which we shall present when the time comes, in the light of
centuries of experience gained by experiments made by us on the GOY States, will be
distinguished by clearness and definiteness and will show at a glance to all men the
advantage of our innovations. They will put an end to those abuses to which we owe
our mastery over the GOYIM, but which cannot be allowed in our kingdom.
39. We shall so hedge about our system of accounting that neither the ruler nor the
most insignificant public servant will be in a position to divert even the smallest sum
from its destination without detection or to direct it in another direction except that
which will be once fixed in a definite plan of action.
40. And without a definite plan it is impossible to rule. Marching along an
undetermined road and with undetermined resources brings to ruin by the way heroes
and demigods.
41. The GOY rulers, whom we once upon a time advised should be distracted from
State occupations by representative receptions, observances of etiquette,
entertainments, were only screens for our rule. The accounts of favorite courtiers who
replaced them in the sphere of affairs were drawn up for them by our agents, and
every time gave satisfaction to short-sighted minds by promises that in the future
economics and improvements were foreseen …. Economics from what? From new
taxes? – were questions that might have been but were not asked by those who read
our accounts and projects.
42. You know to what they have been brought by this carelessness, to what pitch of
financial disorder they have arrived, notwithstanding the astonishing industry of their
peoples.

PROTOCOL No. 21
1. To what I reported to you at the last meeting I shall now add a detailed
explanation of internal loans. Of foreign loans I shall say nothing more, because they
have fed us with national moneys of the GOYIM, but for our State there will be no
foreigners, that is, nothing external.
2. We have taken advantage of the venality of administrators and slackness of
rulers to get our moneys twice, thrice and more times over, by lending to the GOY
governments moneys which were not at all needed by the States. Could anyone do the
like in regard to us? …. Therefore, I shall only deal with the details of internal loans.
3. States announce that such a loan is to be concluded and open subscriptions for
their own bills of exchange, that is, for their interest-bearing paper. That they may be
within the reach of all the price is determined at from a hundred to a thousand; and a
discount is made for the earliest subscribers. Next day by artificial means the price of
them goes up, the alleged reason being that everyone is rushing to buy them. In a few
days the treasury safes are as they say overflowing and there’s more money than they
can do with. The subscription, it is alleged, covers many times over the issue total of
the loan; in this lies the whole stage effect – look you, they say, what confidence is
shown in the government’s bills of exchange.
4. But when the comedy is played out there emerges the fact that a debit and an
exceedingly burdensome debit has been created. For the payment of interest it
becomes necessary to have recourse to new loans, which do not swallow up but only
add to the capital debt. And when this credit is exhausted it becomes necessary by
new taxes to cover, not the loan, BUT ONLY THE INTEREST ON IT. These taxes are a
debit employed to cover a debit ….
5. Later comes the time for conversions, but they diminish the payment of interest
without covering the debt, and besides they cannot be made without the consent of
the lenders; on announcing a conversion a proposal is made to return the money to
those who are not willing to convert their paper. If everybody expressed his
unwillingness and demanded his money back, the government would be hooked on
their own files and would be found insolvent and unable to pay the proposed sums. By
good luck the subjects of the GOY governments, knowing nothing about financial
affairs, have always preferred losses on exchange and diminution of interest to the
risk of new investments of their moneys, and have thereby many a time enabled these
governments to throw off their shoulders a debit of several millions.
6. Nowadays, with external loans, these tricks cannot be played by the GOYIM for
they know that we shall demand all our moneys back.
7. In this way in acknowledged bankruptcy will best prove to the various countries
the absence of any means between the interest of the peoples and of those who rule
them.
8. I beg you to concentrate your particular attention upon this point and upon the
following: nowadays all internal loans are consolidated by so-called flying loans, that
is, such as have terms of payment more or less near. These debts consist of moneys
paid into the savings banks and reserve funds. If left for long at the disposition of a
government these funds evaporate in the payment of interest on foreign loans, and
are placed by the deposit of equivalent amount of RENTS.
9. And these last it is which patch up all the leaks in the State treasuries of the
GOYIM.
10. When we ascend the throne of the world all these financial and similar shifts, as
being not in accord with our interests, will be swept away so as not to leave a trace,
as also will be destroyed all money markets, since we shall not allow the prestige of
our power to be shaken by fluctuations of prices set upon our values, which we shall
announce by law at the price which represents their full worth without any possibility
of lowering or raising. (Raising gives the pretext for lowering, which indeed was where
we made a beginning in relation to the values of the GOYIM.)
11. We shall replace the money markets by grandiose government credit
institutions, the object of which will be to fix the price of industrial values in
accordance with government views. These institutions will be in a position to fling
upon the market five hundred millions of industrial paper in one day, or to buy up for
the same amount. In this way all industrial undertakings will come into dependence
upon us. You may imagine for yourselves what immense power we shall thereby
secure for ourselves.

PROTOCOL No. 22
1. In all that has so far been reported by me to you, I have endeavored to depict
with care the secret of what is coming, of what is past, and of what is going on now,
rushing into the flood of the great events coming already in the near future, the secret
of our relations to the GOYIM and of financial operations. On this subject there
remains still a little for me to add.
2. IN OUR HANDS IS THE GREATEST POWER OF OUR DAY – GOLD: IN TWO DAYS
WE CAN PROCURE FROM OUR STOREHOUSES ANY QUANTITY WE MAY PLEASE.
3. Surely there is no need to seek further proof that our rule is predestined by God?
Surely we shall not fail with such wealth to prove that all that evil which for so many
centuries we have had to commit has served at the end of ends the cause of true wellbeing
– the bringing of everything into order? Though it be even by the exercise of
some violence, yet all the same it will be established. We shall contrive to prove that
we are benefactors who have restored to the rent and mangled earth the true good
and also freedom of the person, and therewith we shall enable it to be enjoyed in
peace and quiet, with proper dignity of relations, on the condition, of course, of strict
observance of the laws established by us. We shall make plain therewith that freedom
does not consist in dissipation and in the right of unbridled license any more than the
dignity and force of a man do not consist in the right of everyone to promulgate
destructive principles in the nature of freedom of conscience, equality and a like, that
freedom of the person in no wise consists in the right to agitate oneself and others by
abominable speeches before disorderly mobs, and that true freedom consists in the
inviolability of the person who honorably and strictly observes all the laws of life in
common, that human dignity is wrapped up in consciousness of the rights and also of
the absence of rights of each, and not wholly and solely in fantastic imaginings about
the subject of one’s EGO.
4. One authority will be glorious because it will be all-powerful, will rule and guide,
and not muddle along after leaders and orators shrieking themselves hoarse with
senseless words which they call great principles and which are noting else, to speak
honestly, but utopian …. Our authority will be the crown of order, and in that is
included the whole happiness of man. The aureole of this authority will inspire a
mystical bowing of the knee before it and a reverent fear before it of all the peoples.
True force makes no terms with any right, not even with that of God: none dare come
near to it so as to take so much as a span from it away.

PROTOCOL No. 23
1. That the peoples may become accustomed to obedience it is necessary to
inculcate lessons of humility and therefore to reduce the production of articles of
luxury. By this we shall improve morals which have been debased by emulation in the
sphere of luxury. We shall reestablish small master production which will mean laying
a mine under the private capital of manufactures. This is indispensable also for the
reason that manufacturers on the grand scale often move, though not always
consciously, the thoughts of the masses in directions against the government. A
people of small masters knows nothing of unemployment and this binds him closely
with existing order, and consequently with the firmness of authority. For us its part
will have been played out the moment authority is transferred into our hands.
Drunkenness also will be prohibited by law and punishable as a crime against
humanness of man who is turned into a brute under the influence of alcohol.
2. Subjects, I repeat once more, give blind obedience only to the strong hand which
is absolutely independent of them, for in it they feel the sword of defense and support
against social scourges …. What do they want with an angelic spirit in a king? What
they have to see in him is the personification of force and power.
3. The supreme lord who will replace all now existing ruler, dragging in their
existence among societies demoralized by us, societies that have denied even the
authority of God, from whose midst breads out on all sides the fire of anarchy, must
first of all proceed to quench this all-devouring flame. Therefore he will be obliged to
kill off those existing societies, though he should drench them with his own blood, that
he may resurrect them again in the form of regularly organized troops fighting
consciously with every kind of infection that may cover the body of the State with
sores.
4. This Chosen One of God is chosen from above to demolish the senseless forces
moved by instinct and not reason, by brutishness and humanness. These forces now
triumph in manifestations of robbery and every kind of violence under the mask of
principles of freedom and every kind of violence under the mask of principles of
freedom and rights. They have overthrown all forms of social order to erect on the
ruins of the throne of the King of the Jews; but their part will be played out the
moment he enters into his kingdom. Then it will be necessary to sweep them away
from his path, on which must be left no knot, no splinter.
5. Then will it be possible for us to say to the peoples of the world: Give thanks to
God and bow the knee before him who bears on his front the seal of the predestination
of man, to which God himself has led his star that none other but Him might free us
from all the before-mentioned forces and evils.

PROTOCOL No. 24
1. I pass now to the method of confirming the dynastic roots of King David to the
last strata of the earth.
2. This confirmation will first and foremost be included in that which to this day has
rested the force of conservatism by our learned elders of the conduct of the affairs of
the world, in the directing of the education of thought of all humanity.
3. Certain members of the seed of David will prepare the kings and their heirs,
selecting not by right of heritage but by eminent capacities, inducting them into the
most secret mysteries of the political, into schemes of government, but providing
always that none may come to knowledge of the secrets. The object of this mode of
action is that all may know that government cannot be entrusted to those who have
not been inducted into the secret places of its art ….
4. To these persons only will be taught the practical application of the aforenamed
plans by comparison of the experiences of many centuries, all the observations on the
politico-economic moves and social sciences – in a word, all the spirit of laws which
have been unshakably established by nature herself for the regulation of the relations
of humanity.
5. Direct heirs will often be set aside from ascending the throne if in their time of
training they exhibit frivolity, softness and other qualities that are the ruin of
authority, which render them incapable of governing and in themselves dangerous for
kingly office.
6. Only those who are unconditionally capable for firm, even if it be to cruelty,
direct rule will receive the reins of rule from our learned elders.
7. In case of falling sick with weakness of will or other form of incapacity. kings
must by law hand over the reins of rule to new and capable hands.
8. The king’s plan of action for the current moment, and all the more so for the
future, will be unknown, even to those who are called his closest counselors.
KING OF THE JEWS
9. Only the king and the three who stood sponsor for him will know what is coming.
10. In the person of the king who with unbending will is master of himself and of
humanity all will discern as it were fate with its mysterious ways. None will know what
the king wishes to attain by his dispositions, and therefore none will dare to stand
across an unknown path.
11. It is understood that the brain reservoir of the king must correspond in capacity
to the plan of government it has to contain. It is for this reason that he will ascend the
throne not otherwise than after examination of his mind by the aforesaid learned
elders.
12. That the people may know and love their king, it is indispensable for him to
converse in the market-places with his people. This ensures the necessary clinching of
the two forces which are now divided one from another by us by the terror.
13. This terror was indispensable for us till the time comes for both these forces
separately to fall under our influence.
14. The king of the Jews must not be at the mercy of his passions, and especially of
sensuality: on no side of his character must he give brute instincts power over his
mind. Sensuality worse than all else disorganizes the capacities of the mind and
clearness of views, distracting the thoughts to the worst and most brutal side of
human activity.
15. The prop of humanity in the person of the supreme lord of all the world of the
holy seed of David must sacrifice to his people all personal inclinations.
16. Our supreme lord must be of an exemplary irreproachable.

THE END
