WORLD CONQUEST THROUGH WORLD JEWISH GOVERNMENT
THE PROTOCOLS
OF THE LEARNED ELDERS
OF ZION
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basis: the result of this will be that what is withdrawn from the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.
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 loseness 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 it 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 verbiage, 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. (League of Nations and
subsequent United Nations Organization - Ed.).
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 ... (Compulsory superannuation, Social Security).
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.
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.
6. 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. (The Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 - Ed.).
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. (Genocide Convention? U.N.
Declaration of the Rights of the Child?) 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 (Rhodes Scholars? London School of Economics?)
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, ( As Margaret Thatcher signed-away British
sovereignty by the Maastricht Treaty? As Australian Parliamentarians
signed over 2,000 U.N. Treaties . . . unread?) 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.
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 manoeuvre 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.
