WORLD CONQUEST THROUGH WORLD JEWISH GOVERNMENT
THE PROTOCOLS
OF THE LEARNED ELDERS
OF ZION
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 the 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 (why then take it?) 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 .... (Hence THE CRY TO
BALANCE THE BUDGET!)
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 hoist on their own petard 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 interests 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 ....
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
well-being - the bringing of everything into order? Though it be
even by the exercise of some violence, yet all the same it will
be established. (The motto of the Freemasons - "Out of
Chaos, Order"). 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 the
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 nothing 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.
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 re-establish 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 the 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 rulers,
dragging in their existence among societies demoralized by us,
societies that have denied even the authority of God, from whose
midst breeds 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 not humanness. These forces now triumph in manifestations of
robbery 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 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".
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 irreproachability.

Zion, of the 33rd Degree
