PROTOCOL No. 22

1 In all that has so far been reported by me to you, I have endeavored to
depict with care the secret of what is coming, of what is past, and of what
is going on now, rushing into the flood of the great events coming already
in the near future, the secret of our relations to the GOYIM and of financial
operations. On this subject there remains still a little for me to add.

2. IN OUR HANDS IS THE GREATEST POWER OF OUR DAY - GOLD: IN TWO DAYS WE CAN
PROCURE FROM OUR STOREHOUSES ANY QUANTITY WE MAY PLEASE.

3. Surely there is no need to seek further proof that our rule is predestined
by God? Surely we shall not fail with such wealth to prove that all that
evil which for so many centuries we have had to commit has served at the
end of ends the cause of true 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. We shall contrive to prove that we are benefactors
who have restored to the rent and mangled earth the true good and also freedom
of the person, and therewith we shall enable it to be enjoyed in peace and
quiet, with proper dignity of relations, on the condition, of course, of
strict observance of the laws established by us. We shall make plain therewith
that freedom does not consist in dissipation and in the right of unbridled
license any more than the dignity and force of a man do not consist in the
right of everyone to promulgate destructive principles in the nature of freedom
of conscience, equality and a like, that freedom of the person in no wise
consists in the right to agitate oneself and others by abominable speeches
before disorderly mobs, and that true freedom consists in the inviolability
of the person who honorably and strictly observes all the laws of life in
common, that human dignity is wrapped up in consciousness of the rights and
also of the absence of rights of each, and not wholly and solely in fantastic
imaginings about the subject of one's EGO.

4. One authority will be glorious because it will be all-powerful, will rule
and guide, and not muddle along after leaders and orators shrieking themselves
hoarse with senseless words which they call great principles and which are
noting else, to speak honestly, but utopian .... Our authority will be the
crown of order, and in that is included the whole happiness of man. The aureole
of this authority will inspire a mystical bowing of the knee before it and
a reverent fear before it of all the peoples. True force makes no terms with
any right, not even with that of God: none dare come near to it so as to
take so much as a span from it away.

PROTOCOL No. 23

1. That the peoples may become accustomed to obedience it is necessary to
inculcate lessons of humility and therefore to reduce the production of articles
of luxury. By this we shall improve morals which have been debased by emulation
in the sphere of luxury. We shall 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 ben played out the moment
authority is transferred into our hands. Drunkenness also will be prohibited
by law and punishable as a crime against humanness of man who is turned into
a brute under the influence of alcohol.

2. Subjects, I repeat once more, give blind obedience only to the strong
hand which is absolutely independent of them, for in it they feel the sword
of defense and support against social scourges .... What do they want with
an angelic spirit in a king? What they have to see in him is the personification
of force and power.

3. The supreme lord who will replace all now existing ruler, dragging in
their existence among societies demoralized by us, societies that have denied
even the authority of God, from whose midst breads out on all sides the fire
of anarchy, must first of all proceed to quench this all-devouring flame.
Therefore he will be obliged to kill off those existing societies, though
he should drench them with his own blood, that he may resurrect them again
in the form of regularly organized troops fighting consciously with every
kind of infection that may cover the body of the State with sores.

4. This Chosen One of God is chosen from above to demolish the senseless
forces moved by instinct and not reason, by brutishness and humanness. These
forces now triumph in manifestations of robbery and every kind of violence
under the mask of principles of freedom and every kind of violence under
the mask of principles of freedom and rights. They have overthrown all forms
of social order to erect on the ruins of the throne of the King of the Jews;
but their part will be played out the moment he enters into his kingdom.
Then it will be necessary to sweep them away from his path, on which must
be left no knot, no splinter.

5. Then will it be possible for us to say to the peoples of the world: Give
thanks to God and bow the knee before him who bears on his front the seal
of the predestination of man, to which God himself has led his star that
none other but Him might free us from all the before-mentioned forces and evils.

PROTOCOL No. 24

1. I pass now to the method of confirming the dynastic roots of King David
to the last strata of the earth.

2. This confirmation will first and foremost be included in that which to
this day has rested the force of conservatism by our learned elders of the
conduct of the affairs of the world, in the directing of the education of
thought of all humanity.

3. Certain members of the seed of David will prepare the kings and their
heirs, selecting not by right of heritage but by eminent capacities, inducting
them into the most secret mysteries of the political, into schemes of government,
but providing always that none may come to knowledge of the secrets. The
object of this mode of action is that all may know that government cannot
be entrusted to those who have not been inducted into the secret places of
its art ....

4. To these persons only will be taught the practical application of the
aforenamed plans by comparison of the experiences of many centuries, all
the observations on the politico-economic moves and social sciences - in
a word, all the spirit of laws which have been unshakably established by
nature herself for the regulation of the relations of humanity.

5. Direct heirs will often be set aside from ascending the throne if in their
time of training they exhibit frivolity, softness and other qualities that
are the ruin of authority, which render them incapable of governing and in
themselves dangerous for kingly office.

6. Only those who are unconditionally capable for firm, even if it be to
cruelty, direct rule will receive the reins of rule from our learned elders.

7. In case of falling sick with weakness of will or other form of incapacity.
kings must by law hand over the reins of rule to new and capable hands.

8. The king's plan of action for the current moment, and all the more so
for the future, will be unknown, even to those who are called his closest
counselors.

KING OF THE JEWS

9. Only the king and the three who stood sponsor for him will know what is coming.

10. In the person of the king who with unbending will is master of himself
and of humanity all will discern as it were fate with its mysterious ways.
None will know what the king wishes to attain by his dispositions, and therefore
none will dare to stand across an unknown path.

11. It is understood that the brain reservoir of the king must correspond
in capacity to the plan of government it has to contain. It is for this reason
that he will ascend the throne not otherwise than after examination of his
mind by the aforesaid learned elders.

12. That the people may know and love their king, it is indispensable for
him to converse in the market-places with his people. This ensures the necessary
clinching of the two forces which are now divided one from another by us
by the terror.

13. This terror was indispensable for us till the time comes for both these
forces separately to fall under our influence.

14. The king of the Jews must not be at the mercy of his passions, and especially
of sensuality: on no side of his character must he give brute instincts power
over his mind. Sensuality worse than all else disorganizes the capacities
of the mind and clearness of views, distracting the thoughts to the worst
and most brutal side of human activity.

15. The prop of humanity in the person of the supreme lord of all the world
of the holy seed of David must sacrifice to his people all personal inclinations.

16. Our supreme lord must be of an exemplary irreproachable.
