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 assimulate 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. (Is it not a coincidence that the Jewish created "Bar
Associations" has declared that "May 1st" to be "Law Day;" the same date
that the Jews created the "Illuminati" under the guidance of Adam Wiesthaust
in 1776? Is it also a coincidence that the Jewish created "Communist Nations"
celebrate "May 1st" as a National holiday?).

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.

PROTOCOLS OF THE MEETINGS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
re-educating 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 pre-eminent 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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROTOCOLS OF THE MEETINGS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 (Antichrist??).

5. But, IN THE MEANTIME, while we are re-educating 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.
