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 reestablish 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 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
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
