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.

RIGHT IS MIGHT

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 un- reasoning 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.
