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 countriesby 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).

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 makebelieve 

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. 


1. It is indispensable for our purpose that wars, so far as possible, should not result in territorial gains: war 

will thus be brought on to the economic ground, where the nations will not fail to perceive in the assistance 

we give the strength of our predominance, and this state of things will put both sides at the mercy of our international 

AGENTUR; which possesses millions of eyes ever on the watch and unhampered by any limitations 

whatsoever. Our international rights will then wipe out national rights, in the proper sense of right, and 

will rule the nations precisely as the civil law of States rules the relations of their subjects among themselves. 

2. The administrators, whom we shall choose from among the public, with strict regard to their capacities for 

servile obedience, will not be persons trained in the arts of government, and will therefore easily become 

pawns in our game in the hands of men of learning and genius who will be their advisers, specialists bred 

and reared from early childhood to rule the affairs of the whole world. As is well known to you, these specialists 

of ours have been drawing to fit them for rule the information they need from our political plans from 

the lessons of history, from observations made of the events of every moment as it passes. The GOYIM are 

not guided by practical use of unprejudiced historical observation, but by theoretical routine without any 

critical regard for consequent results. We need not, therefore, take any account of them - let them amuse 

themselves until the hour strikes, or live on hopes of new forms of enterprising pastime, or on the memories

of all they have enjoyed. For them let that play the principal part which we have persuaded them to accept as 

the dictates of science (theory). It is with this object in view that we are constantly, by means of our press, 

arousing a blind confidence in these theories. The intellectuals of the GOYIM will puff themselves up with 

their knowledges and without any logical verification of them will put into effect all the information available 

from science, which our AGENTUR specialists have cunningly pieced together for the purpose of educating 

their minds in the direction we want. 

DESTRUCTIVE EDUCATION 

3. Do not suppose for a moment that these statements are empty words: think carefully of the successes we 

arranged for Darwinism, Marxism, Nietzsche-ism. To us Jews, at any rate, it should be plain to see what a 

disintegrating importance these directives have had upon the minds of the GOYIM. 

4. It is indispensable for us to take account of the thoughts, characters, tendencies of the nations in order to 

avoid making slips in the political and in the direction of administrative affairs. The triumph of our system of 

which the component parts of the machinery may be variously disposed according to the temperament of the 

peoples met on our way, will fail of success if the practical application of it be not based upon a summing up 

of the lessons of the past in the light of the present. 

5. In the hands of the States of to-day there is a great force that creates the movement of thought in the people, 

and that is the Press. The part played by the Press is to keep pointing our requirements supposed to be 

indispensable, to give voice to the complaints of the people, to express and to create discontent. It is in the 

Press that the triumph of freedom of speech finds its incarnation. But the GOYIM States have not known 

how to make use of this force; and it has fallen into our hands. Through the Press we have gained the power 

to influence while remaining ourselves in the shade; thanks to the Press we have got the GOLD in our 

hands, notwithstanding that we have had to gather it out of the oceans of blood and tears. But it has paid us, 

though we have sacrificed many of our people. Each victim on our side is worth in the sight of God a thousand 

GOYIM. 


1. To-day I may tell you that our goal is now only a few steps off. There remains a small space to cross and 

the whole long path we have trodden is ready now to close its cycle of the Symbolic Snake, by which we 

symbolize our people. When this ring closes, all the States of Europe will be locked in its coil as in a powerful 

vice. 

2. The constitution scales of these days will shortly break down, for we have established them with a certain 

lack of accurate balance in order that they may oscillate incessantly until they wear through the pivot on 

which they turn. The GOYIM are under the impression that they have welded them sufficiently strong and 

they have all along kept on expecting that the scales would come into equilibrium. But the pivots - the kings 

on their thrones - are hemmed in by their representatives, who play the fool, distraught with their own uncontrolled 

and irresponsible power. This power they owe to the terror which has been breathed into the palaces. 

As they have no means of getting at their people, into their very midst, the kings on their thrones are no 

longer able to come to terms with them and so strengthen themselves against seekers after power. We have 

made a gulf between the far-seeing Sovereign Power and the blind force of the people so that both have lost 

all meaning, for like the blind man and his stick, both are powerless apart. 

3. In order to incite seekers after power to a misuse of power we have set all forces in opposition one to another, 

breaking up their liberal tendencies towards independence. To this end we have stirred up every form 

of enterprise, we have armed all parties, we have set up authority as a target for every ambition. Of States we

have made gladiatorial arenas where a lot of confused issues contend .... A little more, and disorders and 

bankruptcy will be universal .... 

4. Babblers, inexhaustible, have turned into oratorical contests the sittings of Parliament and Administrative 

Boards. Bold journalists and unscrupulous pamphleteers daily fall upon executive officials. Abuses of power 

will put the final touch in preparing all institutions for their overthrow and everything will fly skyward under 

the blows of the maddened mob. 

POVERTY OUR WEAPON 

5. All people are chained down to heavy toil by poverty more firmly than ever. They were chained by slavery 

and serfdom; from these, one way and another, they might free themselves. These could be settled with, 

but from want they will never get away. We have included in the constitution such rights as to the masses 

appear fictitious and not actual rights. All these so-called "Peoples Rights" can exist only in idea, an idea 

which can never be realized in practical life. What is it to the proletariat laborer, bowed double over his 

heavy toil, crushed by his lot in life, if talkers get the right to babble, if journalists get the right to scribble 

any nonsense side by side with good stuff, once the proletariat has no other profit out of the constitution save 

only those pitiful crumbs which we fling them from our table in return for their voting in favor of what we 

dictate, in favor of the men we place in power, the servants of our AGENTUR ... Republican rights for a 

poor man are no more than a bitter piece of irony, for the necessity he is under of toiling almost all day gives 

him no present use of them, but the other hand robs him of all guarantee of regular and certain earnings by 

making him dependent on strikes by his comrades or lockouts by his masters. 

WE SUPPORT COMMUNISM 

6. The people, under our guidance, have annihilated the aristocracy, who were their one and only defense 

and foster- mother for the sake of their own advantage which is inseparably bound up with the well-being of 

the people. Nowadays, with the destruction of the aristocracy, the people have fallen into the grips of merciless 

money-grinding scoundrels who have laid a pitiless and cruel yoke upon the necks of the workers. 

7. We appear on the scene as alleged saviours of the worker from this oppression when we propose to him to 

enter the ranks of our fighting forces - Socialists, Anarchists, Communists - to whom we always give support 

in accordance with an alleged brotherly rule (of the solidarity of all humanity) of our SOCIAL MASONRY. 

The aristocracy, which enjoyed by law the labor of the workers, was interested in seeing that the workers 

were well fed, healthy, and strong. We are interested in just the opposite - in the diminution, the KILLING 

OUT OF THE GOYIM. Our power is in the chronic shortness of food and physical weakness of the worker 

because by all that this implies he is made the slave of our will, and he will not find in his own authorities 

either strength or energy to set against our will. Hunger creates the right of capital to rule the worker more 

surely than it was given to the aristocracy by the legal authority of kings. 

8. By want and the envy and hatred which it engenders we shall move the mobs and with their hands we 

shall wipe out all those who hinder us on our way. 

9. WHEN THE HOUR STRIKES FOR OUR SOVEREIGN LORD OF ALL THE WORLD TO BE 

CROWNED IT IS THESE SAME HANDS WHICH WILL SWEEP AWAY EVERYTHING THAT 

MIGHT BE A HINDRANCE THERETO. (The Biblical "Anti-Christ") 

10. The GOYIM have lost the habit of thinking unless prompted by the suggestions of our specialists. 

Therefore they do not see the urgent necessity of what we, when our kingdom comes, shall adopt at once, 

namely this, that IT IS ESSENTIAL TO TEACH IN NATIONAL SCHOOLS ONE SIMPLE, TRUE 

PIECE OF KNOWLEDGE, THE BASIS OF ALL KNOWLEDGE - THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE 

STRUCTURE OF HUMAN LIFE, OF SOCIAL EXISTENCE, WHICH REQUIRES DIVISION OF 

LABOR, AND, CONSEQUENTLY, THE DIVISION OF MEN INTO CLASSES AND CONDI- 

TIONS. It is essential for all to know that OWING TO DIFFERENCE IN THE OBJECTS OF HUMAN

ACTIVITY THERE CANNOT BE ANY EQUALITY, that he, who by any act of his compromises a 

whole class, cannot be equally responsible before the law with him who affects no one but only his own 

honor. The true knowledge of the structure of society, into the secrets of which we do not admit the 

GOYIM, would demonstrate to all men that the positions and work must be kept within a certain circle, that 

they may not become a source of human suffering, arising from an education which does not correspond 

with the work which individuals are called upon to do. After a thorough study of this knowledge, the peoples 

will voluntarily submit to authority and accept such position as is appointed them in the State. In the present 

state of knowledge and the direction we have given to its development of the people, blindly believing things 

in print - cherishes - thanks to promptings intended to mislead and to its own ignorance - a blind hatred towards 

all conditions which it considers above itself, for it has no understanding of the meaning of class and 

condition. 

JEWS WILL BE SAFE 

11. THIS HATRED WILL BE STILL FURTHER MAGNIFIED BY THE EFFECTS of an ECO- 

NOMIC CRISES, which will stop dealing on the exchanges and bring industry to a standstill. We shall create 

by all the secret subterranean methods open to us and with the aid of gold, which is all in our hands, A 

UNIVERSAL ECONOMIC CRISES WHEREBY WE SHALL THROW UPON THE STREETS 

WHOLE MOBS OF WORKERS SIMULTANEOUSLY IN ALL THE COUNTRIES OF EUROPE. 

These mobs will rush delightedly to shed the blood of those whom, in the simplicity of their ignorance, they 

have envied from their cradles, and whose property they will then be able to loot. 

12 "OURS" THEY WILL NOT TOUCH, BECAUSE THE MOMENT OF ATTACK WILL BE 

KNOWN TO US AND WE SHALL TAKE MEASURES TO PROTECT OUR OWN. 

13. We have demonstrated that progress will bring all the GOYIM to the sovereignty of reason. Our despotism 

will be precisely that; for it will know how, by wise severities, to pacificate all unrest, to cauterize liberalism 

out of all institutions. 

14. When the populace has seen that all sorts of concessions and indulgences are yielded it, in the same 

name of freedom it has imagined itself to be sovereign lord and has stormed its way to power, but, naturally 

like every other blind man, it has come upon a host of stumbling blocks. IT HAS RUSHED TO FIND A 

GUIDE, IT HAS NEVER HAD THE SENSE TO RETURN TO THE FORMER STATE and it has laid 

down its plenipotentiary powers at OUR feet. Remember the French Revolution, to which it was we who 

gave the name of "Great": the secrets of its preparations are well known to us for it was wholly the work of 

our hands. 

15 Ever since that time we have been leading the peoples from one disenchantment to another, so that in the 

end they should turn also from us in favor of that KING-DESPOT OF THE BLOOD OF ZION, WHOM 

WE ARE PREPARING FOR THE WORLD. 

16. At the present day we are, as an international force, invincible, because if attacked by some we are supported 

by other States. It is the bottomless rascality of the GOYIM peoples, who crawl on their bellies to 

force, but are merciless towards weakness, unsparing to faults and indulgent to crimes, unwilling to bear the 

contradictions of a free social system but patient unto martyrdom under the violence of a bold despotism - it 

is those qualities which are aiding us to independence. From the premier- dictators of the present day, the 

GOYIM peoples suffer patiently and bear such abuses as for the least of them they would have beheaded 

twenty kings. 

17. What is the explanation of this phenomenon, this curious inconsequence of the masses of the peoples in 

their attitude towards what would appear to be events of the same order 

18. It is explained by the fact that these dictators whisper to the peoples through their agents that through 

these abuses they are inflicting injury on the States with the highest purpose - to secure the welfare of the

peoples, the international brotherhood of them all, their solidarity and equality of rights. Naturally they do 

not tell the peoples that this unification must be accomplished only under our sovereign rule. 

19. And thus the people condemn the upright and acquit the guilty, persuaded ever more and more that it can 

do whatsoever it wishes. Thanks to this state of things, the people are destroying every kind of stability and 

creating disorders at every step. 

20. The word "freedom" brings out the communities of men to fight against every kind of force, against 

every kind of authority even against God and the laws of nature. For this reason we, when we come into our 

kingdom, shall have to erase this word from the lexicon of life as implying a principle of brute force which 

turns mobs into bloodthirsty beasts. 

21. These beasts, it is true, fall asleep again every time when they have drunk their fill of blood, and at such 

time can easily be riveted into their chains. But if they be not given blood they will not sleep and continue to 

struggle. 


1. Every republic passes through several stages. The first of these is comprised in the early days of mad raging 

by the blind mob, tossed hither and thither, right and left: the second is demagogy from which is born 

anarchy, and that leads inevitably to despotism - not any longer legal and overt, and therefore responsible 

despotism, but to unseen and secretly hidden, yet nevertheless sensibly felt despotism in the hands of some 

secret organization or other, whose acts are the more unscrupulous inasmuch as it works behind a screen, 

behind the backs of all sorts of agents, the changing of whom not only does not injuriously affect but actually 

aids the secret force by saving it, thanks to continual changes, from the necessity of expanding its resources 

on the rewarding of long services. 

2. Who and what is in a position to overthrow an invisible force And this is precisely what our force is. 

GENTILE masonry blindly serves as a screen for us and our objects, but the plan of action of our force, 

even its very abiding-place, remains for the whole people an unknown mystery. 

WE SHALL DESTROY GOD 

3. But even freedom might be harmless and have its place in the State economy without injury to the wellbeing 

of the peoples if it rested upon the foundation of faith in God, upon the brotherhood of humanity, unconnected 

with the conception of equality, which is negatived by the very laws of creation, for they have established 

subordination. With such a faith as this a people might be governed by a wardship of parishes, and 

would walk contentedly and humbly under the guiding hand of its spiritual pastor submitting to the dispositions 

of God upon earth. This is the reason why IT IS INDISPENSABLE FOR US TO UNDERMINE 

ALL FAITH, TO TEAR OUT OF THE MIND OF THE "GOYIM" THE VERY PRINCIPLE OF 

GOD-HEAD AND THE SPIRIT, AND TO PUT IN ITS PLACE ARITHMETICAL CALCULA- 

TIONS AND MATERIAL NEEDS. 

4. In order to give the GOYIM no time to think and take note, their minds must be diverted towards industry 

and trade. Thus, all the nations will be swallowed up in the pursuit of gain and in the race for it will not take 

note of their common foe. But again, in order that freedom may once for all disintegrate and ruin the communities 

of the GOYIM, we must put industry on a speculative basis: the result of this will be that what is 

withdrawn from the land by industry will slip through the hands and pass into speculation, that is, to our 

classes. 

5. The intensified struggle for superiority and shocks delivered to economic life will create, nay, have already 

created, disenchanted, cold and heartless communities. Such communities will foster a strong aversion

towards the higher political and towards religion. Their only guide is gain, that is Gold, which they will erect 

into a veritable cult, for the sake of those material delights which it can give. Then will the hour strike when, 

not for the sake of attaining the good, not even to win wealth, but solely out of hatred towards the privileged, 

the lower classes of the GOYIM will follow our lead against our rivals for power, the intellectuals of the 

GOYIM. 


1. What form of administrative rule can be given to communities in which corruption has penetrated everywhere, 

communities where riches are attained only by the clever surprise tactics of semi-swindling tricks; 

where loseness reigns: where morality is maintained by penal measures and harsh laws but not by voluntarily 

accepted principles: where the feelings towards faith and country are obligated by cosmopolitan convictions 

What form of rule is to be given to these communities if not that despotism which I shall describe to 

you later We shall create an intensified centralization of government in order to grip in our hands all the 

forces of the community. We shall regulate mechanically all the actions of the political life of our subjects 

by new laws. These laws will withdraw one by one all the indulgences and liberties which have been permitted 

by the GOYIM, and our kingdom will be distinguished by a despotism of such magnificent proportions 

as to be at any moment and in every place in a position to wipe out any GOYIM who oppose us by deed or 

word. 

2. We shall be told that such a despotism as I speak of is not consistent with the progress of these days, but I 

will prove to you that is is. 

3. In the times when the peoples looked upon kings on their thrones as on a pure manifestation of the will of 

God, they submitted without a murmur to the despotic power of kings: but from the day when we insinuated 

into their minds the conception of their own rights they began to regard the occupants of thrones as mere 

ordinary mortals. The holy unction of the Lord's Anointed has fallen from the heads of kings in the eyes of 

the people, and when we also robbed them of their faith in God the might of power was flung upon the 

streets into the place of public proprietorship and was seized by us. 

MASSES LED BY LIES 

4. Moreover, the art of directing masses and individuals by means of cleverly manipulated theory and verbitage, 

by regulations of life in common and all sorts of other quirks, in all which the GOYIM understand 

nothing, belongs likewise to the specialists of our administrative brain. Reared on analysis, observation, on 

delicacies of fine calculation, in this species of skill we have no rivals, any more than we have either in the 

drawing up of plans of political actions and solidarity. In this respect the Jesuits alone might have compared 

with us, but we have contrived to discredit them in the eyes of the unthinking mob as an overt organization, 

while we ourselves all the while have kept our secret organization in the shade. However, it is probably all 

the same to the world who is its sovereign lord, whether the head of Catholicism or our despot of the blood 

of Zion! But to us, the Chosen People, it is very far from being a matter of indifference. 

5. FOR A TIME PERHAPS WE MIGHT BE SUCCESSFULLY DEALT WITH BY A COALITION 

OF THE "GOYIM" OF ALL THE WORLD: but from this danger we are secured by the discord existing 

among them whose roots are so deeply seated that they can never now be plucked up. We have set one 

against another the personal and national reckonings of the GOYIM, religious and race hatreds, which we 

have fostered into a huge growth in the course of the past twenty centuries. This is the reason why there is 

not one State which would anywhere receive support if it were to raise its arm, for every one of them must 

bear in mind that any agreement against us would be unprofitable to itself. We are too strong - there is no 

evading our power. THE NATIONS CANNOT COME TO EVEN AN INCONSIDERABLE PRIVATE 

AGREEMENT WITHOUT OUR SECRETLY HAVING A HAND IN IT.

6. PER ME REGES REGNANT. "It is through me that Kings reign." And it was said by the prophets that 

we were chosen by God Himself to rule over the whole earth. God has endowed us with genius that we may 

be equal to our task. Were genius in the opposite camp it would still struggle against us, but even so, a newcomer 

is no match for the old-established settler: the struggle would be merciless between us, such a fight as 

the world has never seen. Aye, and the genius on their side would have arrived too late. All the wheels of the 

machinery of all States go by the force of the engine, which is in our hands, and that engine of the machinery 

of States is - Gold. The science of political economy invented by our learned elders has for long past been 

giving royal prestige to capital. 

MONOPOLY CAPITAL 

7. Capital, if it is to co-operate untrammeled, must be free to establish a monopoly of industry and trade: this 

is already being put in execution by an unseen hand in all quarters of the world. This freedom will give political 

force to those engaged in industry, and that will help to oppress the people. Nowadays it is more important 

to disarm the peoples than to lead them into war: more important to use for our advantage the passions 

which have burst into flames than to quench their fire: more important to eradicate them. THE PRIN- 

CIPLE OBJECT OF OUR DIRECTORATE CONSISTS IN THIS: TO DEBILITATE THE PUBLIC 

MIND BY CRITICISM; TO LEAD IT AWAY FROM SERIOUS REFLECTIONS CALCULATED 

TO AROUSE RESISTANCE; TO DISTRACT THE FORCES OF THE MIND TOWARDS A SHAM 

FIGHT OF EMPTY CLOQUENCE. 

8. In all ages the people of the world, equally with individuals, have accepted words for deeds, for THEY 

ARE CONTENT WITH A SHOW and rarely pause to note, in the public arena, whether promises are followed 

by performance. Therefore we shall establish show institutions which will give eloquent proof of their 

benefit to progress. 

9. We shall assume to ourselves the liberal physiognomy of all parties, of all directions, and we shall give 

that physiognomy a VOICE IN ORATORS WHO WILL SPEAK SO MUCH THAT THEY WILL 

EXHAUST THE PATIENCE OF THEIR HEARERS AND PRODUCE AN ABHORRENCE OF 

ORATORY. 

10. IN ORDER TO PUT PUBLIC OPINION INTO OUR HANDS WE MUST BRING IT INTO A 

STATE OF BEWILDERMENT BY GIVING EXPRESSION FROM ALL SIDES TO SO MANY 

CONTRADICTORY OPINIONS AND FOR SUCH LENGTH OF TIME AS WILL SUFFICE TO 

MAKE THE "GOYIM" LOSE THEIR HEADS IN THE LABYRINTH AND COME TO SEE THAT 

THE BEST THING IS TO HAVE NO OPINION OF ANY KIND IN MATTERS POLITICAL, which 

it is not given to the public to understand, because they are understood only by him who guides the public. 

This is the first secret. 

11. The second secret requisite for the success of our government is comprised in the following: To multiply 

to such an extent national failings, habits, passions, conditions of civil life, that it will be impossible for anyone 

to know where he is in the resulting chaos, so that the people in consequence will fail to understand one 

another. This measure will also serve us in another way, namely, to sow discord in all parties, to dislocate all 

collective forces which are still unwilling to submit to us, and to discourage any kind of personal initiative 

which might in any degree hinder our affair. THERE IS NOTHING MORE DANGEROUS THAN PER- 

SONAL INITIATIVE: if it has genius behind it, such initiative can do more than can be done by millions 

of people among whom we have sown discord. We must so direct the education of the GOYIM communities 

that whenever they come upon a matter requiring initiative they may drop their hands in despairing impotence. 

The strain which results from freedom of actions saps the forces when it meets with the freedom of 

another. From this collision arise grave moral shocks, disenchantments, failures. BY ALL THESE MEANS 

WE SHALL SO WEAR DOWN THE "GOYIM" THAT THEY WILL BE COMPELLED TO OF- 

FER US INTERNATIONAL POWER OF A NATURE THAT BY ITS POSITION WILL ENABLE 

US WITHOUT ANY VIOLENCE GRADUALLY TO ABSORB ALL THE STATE FORCES OF 

THE WORLD AND TO FORM A SUPER-GOVERNMENT (European Common Market). In place of

the rulers of to-day we shall set up a bogey which will be called the Super-Government Administration. Its 

hands will reach out in all directions like nippers and its organization will be of such colossal dimensions 

that it cannot fail to subdue all the nations of the world. 


1. We shall soon begin to establish huge monopolies, reservoirs of colossal riches, upon which even, large 

fortunes of the GOYIM will depend to such an extent that they will go to the bottom together with the credit 

of the States on the day after the political smash ... 

2. You gentlemen here present who are economists, just strike an estimate of the significance of this 

combination! ... 

3. In every possible way we must develop the significance of our Super-Government by representing it as 

the Protector and Benefactor of all those who voluntarily submit to us. 

4. The aristocracy of the GOYIM as a political force, is dead - We need not take it into account; but as 

landed proprietors they can still be harmful to us from the fact that they are self-sufficing in the resources 

upon which they live. It is essential therefore for us at whatever cost to deprive them of their land. This object 

will be best attained by increasing the burdens upon landed property - in loading lands with debts. These 

measures will check land- holding and keep it in a state of humble and un-conditional submission. 

5. The aristocrats of the GOYIM, being hereditarily incapable of contenting themselves with little, will rapidly 

burn up and fizzle out. 

WE SHALL ENSLAVE GENTILES 

6. At the same time we must intensively patronize trade and industry, but, first and foremost, speculation, the 

part played by which is to provide a counterpoise to industry: the absence of speculative industry will multiply 

capital in private hands and will serve to restore agriculture by freeing the land from indebtedness to the 

land banks. What we want is that industry should drain off from the land both labor and capital and by 

means of speculation transfer into our hands all the money of the world, and thereby throw all the GOYIM 

into the ranks of the proletariat. Then the GOYIM will bow down before us, if for no other reason but to get 

the right to exist. 

7. To complete the ruin of the industry of the GOYIM we shall bring to the assistance of speculation the 

luxury which we have developed among the GOYIM, that greedy demand for luxury which is swallowing 

up everything. WE SHALL RAISE THE RATE OF WAGES WHICH, HOWEVER, WILL NOT 

BRING ANY ADVANTAGE TO THE WORKERS, FOR, AT THE SAME TIME, WE SHALL 

PRODUCE A RISE IN PRICES OF THE FIRST NECESSARIES OF LIFE, ALLEGING THAT IT 

ARISES FROM THE DECLINE OF AGRICULTURE AND CATTLE-BREEDING: WE SHALL 

FURTHER UNDERMINE ARTFULLY AND DEEPLY SOURCES OF PRODUCTION, BY AC- 

CUSTOMING THE WORKERS TO ANARCHY AND TO DRUNKENNESS AND SIDE BY SIDE 

THEREWITH TAKING ALL MEASURE TO EXTIRPATE FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH 

ALL THE EDUCATED FORCES OF THE "GOYIM." 

8. IN ORDER THAT THE TRUE MEANING OF THINGS MAY NOT STRIKE THE "GOYIM" 

BEFORE THE PROPER TIME WE SHALL MASK IT UNDER AN ALLEGED ARDENT DESIRE 

TO SERVE THE WORKING CLASSES AND THE GREAT PRINCIPLES OF POLITICAL 

ECONOMY ABOUT WHICH OUR ECONOMIC THEORIES ARE CARRYING ON AN ENER- 

GETIC PROPAGANDA.


1. The intensification of armaments, the increase of police forces - are all essential for the completion of the 

aforementioned plans. What we have to get at is that there should be in all the States of the world, besides 

ourselves, only the masses of the proletariat, a few millionaires devoted to our interests, police and soldiers. 

2. Throughout all Europe, and by means of relations with Europe, in other continents also, we must create 

ferments, discords and hostility. Therein we gain a double advantage. In the first place we keep in check all 

countries, for they will know that we have the power whenever we like to create disorders or to restore order. 

All these countries are accustomed to see in us an indispensable force of coercion. In the second place, by 

our intrigues we shall tangle up all the threads which we have stretched into the cabinets of all States by 

means of the political, by economic treaties, or loan obligations. In order to succeed in this we must use 

great cunning and penetration during negotiations and agreements, but, as regards what is called the "official 

language," we shall keep to the opposite tactics and assume the mask of honesty and complacency. In this 

way the peoples and governments of the GOYIM, whom we have taught to look only at the outside whatever 

we present to their notice, will still continue to accept us as the benefactors and saviours of the human 

race. 

UNIVERSAL WAR 

3. We must be in a position to respond to every act of opposition by war with the neighbors of that country 

which dares to oppose us: but if these neighbors should also venture to stand collectively together against us, 

then we must offer resistance by a universal war. 

4. The principal factor of success in the political is the secrecy of its undertakings: the word should not agree 

with the deeds of the diplomat. 

5. We must compel the governments of the GOYIM to take action in the direction favored by our widely 

conceived plan, already approaching the desired consummation, by what we shall represent as public opinion, 

secretly promoted by us through the means of that so-called "Great Power" - THE PRESS, WHICH, 

WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS THAT MAY BE DISREGARDED, IS ALREADY ENTIRELY IN 

OUR HANDS. 


1. We must arm ourselves with all the weapons which our opponents might employ against us. We must 

search out in the very finest shades of expression and the knotty points of the lexicon of law justification for 

those cases where we shall have to pronounce judgments that might appear abnormally audacious and unjust, 

for it is important that these resolutions should be set forth in expressions that shall seem to be the most 

exalted moral principles cast into legal form. Our directorate must surround itself with all these forces of 

civilization among which it will have to work. It will surround itself with publicists, practical jurists, administrators, 

diplomats and, finally, with persons prepared by a special super-educational training IN OUR 

SPECIAL SCHOOLS (Rhode Scholers). These persons will have consonance of all the secrets of the social 

structure, they will know all the languages that can be made up by political alphabets and words; they 

will be made acquainted with the whole underside of human nature, with all its sensitive chords on which 

they will have to play. These chords are the cast of mind of the GOYIM, their tendencies, short-comings, 

vices and qualities, the particularities of classes and conditions. Needless to say that the talented assistants of 

authority, of whom I speak, will be taken not from among the GOYIM, who are accustomed to perform 

their administrative work without giving themselves the trouble to think what its aim is, and never consider

what it is needed for. The administrators of the GOYIM sign papers without reading them, and they serve 

either for mercenary reasons or from ambition. 

2. We shall surround our government with a whole world of economists. That is the reason why economic 

sciences form the principal subject of the teaching given to the Jews. Around us again will be a whole constellation 

of bankers, industrialists, capitalists and - THE MAIN THING - MILLIONAIRES, BECAUSE 

IN SUBSTANCE EVERYTHING WILL BE SETTLED BY THE QUESTION OF FIGURES. 

3. For a time, until there will no longer be any risk in entrusting responsible posts in our State to our brother- 

Jews, we shall put them in the hands of persons whose past and reputation are such that between them and 

the people lies an abyss, persons who, in case of disobedience to our instructions, must face criminal charges 

or disappear - this in order to make them defend our interests to their last gasp. 


1. In applying our principles let attention be paid to the character of the people in whose country you live 

and act; a general, identical application of them, until such time as the people shall have been re-educated to 

our pattern, cannot have success. But by approaching their application cautiously you will see that not a decade 

will pass before the most stubborn character will change and we shall add a new people to the ranks of 

those already subdued by us. 

2. The words of the liberal, which are in effect the words of our masonic watchword, namely, "Liberty, 

Equality, Fraternity," will, when we come into our kingdom, be changed by us into words no longer of a 

watchword, but only an expression of idealism, namely, into "The right of liberty, the duty of equality, the 

ideal of brotherhood." That is how we shall put it, - and so we shall catch the bull by the horns ... DE 

FACTO we have already wiped out every kind of rule except our own, although DE JURE there still remain 

a good many of them. Nowadays, if any States raise a protest against us it is only PRO FORMA at our 

discretion and by our direction, for THEIR ANTI-SEMITISM IS INDISPENSABLE TO US FOR THE 

MANAGEMENT OF OUR LESSER BRETHREN. I will not enter into further explanations, for this matter 

has formed the subject of repeated discussions amongst us. 

JEWISH SUPER-STATE 

3. For us there are not checks to limit the range of our activity. Our Super-Government subsists in extra-legal 

conditions which are described in the accepted terminology by the energetic and forcible word - Dictatorship. 

I am in a position to tell you with a clear conscience that at the proper time we, the law-givers, shall 

execute judgment and sentence, we shall slay and we shall spare, we, as head of all our troops, are mounted 

on the steed of the leader. We rule by force of will, because in our hands are the fragments of a once powerful 

party, now vanquished by us. AND THE WEAPONS IN OUR HANDS ARE LIMITLESS AMBI- 

TIONS, BURNING GREEDINESS, MERCILESS VENGEANCE, HATREDS AND MALICE. 

4. IT IS FROM US THAT THE ALL-ENGULFING TERROR PROCEEDS. WE HAVE IN OUR 

SERVICE PERSONS OF ALL OPINIONS, OF ALL DOCTRINES, RESTORATING MONAR- 

CHISTS, DEMAGOGUES, SOCIALISTS, COMMUNISTS, AND UTOPIAN DREAMERS OF 

EVERY KIND. We have harnessed them all to the task: EACH ONE OF THEM ON HIS OWN AC- 

COUNT IS BORING AWAY AT THE LAST REMNANTS OF AUTHORITY, IS STRIVING TO 

OVERTHROW ALL ESTABLISHED FORM OF ORDER. By these acts all States are in torture; they 

exhort to tranquility, are ready to sacrifice everything for peace: BUT WE WILL NOT GIVE THEM 

PEACE UNTIL THEY OPENLY ACKNOWLEDGE OUR INTERNATIONAL SUPER- 

GOVERNMENT, AND WITH SUBMISSIVENESS (European Common Market).

5. The people have raised a howl about the necessity of settling the question of Socialism by way of an international 

agreement. DIVISION INTO FRACTIONAL PARTIES HAS GIVEN THEM INTO OUR 

HANDS, FOR, IN ORDER TO CARRY ON A CONTESTED STRUGGLE ONE MUST HAVE 

MONEY, AND THE MONEY IS ALL IN OUR HANDS. 

6. We might have reason to apprehend a union between the "clear-sighted" force of the GOY kings on their 

thrones and the "blind" force of the GOY mobs, but we have taken all the needful measure against any such 

possibility: between the one and the other force we have erected a bulwark in the shape of a mutual terror 

between them. In this way the blind force of the people remains our support and we, and we only, shall provide 

them with a leader and, of course, direct them along the road that leads to our goal. 

7. In order that the hand of the blind mob may not free itself from our guiding hand, we must every now and 

then enter into close communion with it, if not actually in person, at any rate through some of the most trusty 

of our brethren. When we are acknowledged as the only authority we shall discuss with the people personally 

on the market, places, and we shall instruct them on questings of the political in such wise as may turn 

them in the direction that suits us. 

8. Who is going to verify what is taught in the village schools But what an envoy of the government or a 

king on his throne himself may say cannot but become immediately known to the whole State, for it will be 

spread abroad by the voice of the people. 

9. In order to annihilate the institutions of the GOYIM before it is time we have touched them with craft and 

delicacy, and have taken hold of the ends of the springs which move their mechanism. These springs lay in a 

strict but just sense of order; we have replaced them by the chaotic license of liberalism. We have got our 

hands into the administration of the law, into the conduct of elections, into the press, into liberty of the person, 

BUT PRINCIPALLY INTO EDUCATION AND TRAINING AS BEING THE CORNER- 

STONES OF A FREE EXISTENCE. 

CHRISTIAN YOUTH DESTROYED 

10. WE HAVE FOOLED, BEMUSED AND CORRUPTED THE YOUTH OF THE "GOYIM" BY 

REARING THEM IN PRINCIPLES AND THEORIES WHICH ARE KNOWN TO US TO BE 

FALSE ALTHOUGH IT IS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN INCULCATED. 

11. Above the existing laws without substantially altering them, and by merely twisting them into contradictions 

of interpretations, we have erected something grandiose in the way of results. These results found expression 

in the fact that the INTERPRETATIONS MASKED THE LAW: afterwards they entirely hid 

them from the eyes of the governments owing to the impossibility of making anything out of the tangled web 

of legislation. 

12. This is the origin of the theory of course of arbitration. 

13. You may say that the GOYIM will rise upon us, arms in hand, if they guess what is going on before the 

time comes; but in the West we have against this a manoeuvre of such appalling terror that the very stoutest 

hearts quail - the undergrounds, metropolitans, those subterranean corridors which, before the time comes, 

will be driven under all the capitals and from whence those capitals will be blown into the air with all their 

organizations and archives. 


1. To-day I begin with a repetition of what I said before, and I BEG YOU TO BEAR IN MIND THAT 

GOVERNMENTS AND PEOPLE ARE CONTENT IN THE POLITICAL WITH OUTSIDE AP-

PEARANCES. And how, indeed, are the GOYIM to perceive the underlying meaning of things when their 

representatives give the best of their energies to enjoying themselves For our policy it is of the greatest importance 

to take cognizance of this detail; it will be of assistance to us when we come to consider the division 

of authority of property, of the dwelling, of taxation (the idea of concealed taxes), of the reflex force of 

the laws. All these questions are such as ought not to be touched upon directly and openly before the people. 

In cases where it is indispensable to touch upon them they must not be categorically named, it must merely 

be declared without detailed exposition that the principles of contemporary law are acknowledged by us. The 

reason of keeping silence in this respect is that by not naming a principle we leave ourselves freedom of action, 

to drop this or that out of it without attracting notice; if they were all categorically named they would 

all appear to have been already given. 

2. The mob cherishes a special affection and respect for the geniuses of political power and accepts all their 

deeds of violence with the admiring response: "rascally, well, yes, it is rascally, but it's clever! ... a trick, if 

you like, but how craftily played, how magnificently done, what impudent audacity!" ... 

OUR GOAL - WORLD POWER 

3. We count upon attracting all nations to the task of erecting the new fundamental structure, the project for 

which has been drawn up by us. This is why, before everything, it is indispensable for us to arm ourselves 

and to store up in ourselves that absolutely reckless audacity and irresistible might of the spirit which in the 

person of our active workers will break down all hindrances on our way. 

4. WHEN WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED OUR COUP D'ETAT WE SHALL SAY THEN TO THE 

VARIOUS PEOPLES: "EVERYTHING HAS GONE TERRIBLY BADLY, ALL HAVE BEEN WORN 

OUT WITH SUFFERING. WE ARE DESTROYING THE CAUSES OF YOUR TORMENT - NATION- 

ALITIES, FRONTIERS, DIFFERENCES OF COINAGES. YOU ARE AT LIBERTY, OF COURSE, TO 

PRONOUNCE SENTENCE UPON US, BUT CAN IT POSSIBLY BE A JUST ONE IF IT IS CON- 

FIRMED BY YOU BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY TRIAL OF WHAT WE ARE OFFERING YOU." ... 

THEN WILL THE MOB EXALT US AND BEAR US UP IN THEIR HANDS IN A UNANIMOUS 

TRIUMPH OF HOPES AND EXPECTATIONS. VOTING, WHICH WE HAVE MADE THE 

INSTRUMENT WHICH WILL SET US ON THE THRONE OF THE WORLD BY TEACHING 

EVEN THE VERY SMALLEST UNITS OF MEMBERS OF THE HUMAN RACE TO VOTE BY 

MEANS OF MEETINGS AND AGREEMENTS BY GROUPS, WILL THEN HAVE SERVED ITS 

PURPOSES AND WILL PLAY ITS PART THEN FOR THE LAST TIME BY A UNANIMITY OF 

DESIRE TO MAKE CLOSE ACQUAINTANCE WITH US BEFORE CONDEMNING US. 

5. TO SECURE THIS WE MUST HAVE EVERYBODY VOTE WITHOUT DISTINCTION OF 

CLASSES AND QUALIFICATIONS, in order to establish an absolute majority, which cannot be got from 

the educated propertied classes. In this way, by inculcating in all a sense of self-importance, we shall destroy 

among the GOYIM the importance of the family and its educational value and remove the possibility of individual 

minds splitting off, for the mob, handled by us, will not let them come to the front nor even give 

them a hearing; it is accustomed to listen to us only who pay it for obedience and attention. In this way we 

shall create a blind, mighty force which will never be in a position to move in any direction without the 

guidance of our agents set at its head by us as leaders of the mob. The people will submit to this regime because 

it will know that upon these leaders will depend its earnings, gratifications and the receipt of all kinds 

of benefits. 

6. A scheme of government should come ready made from one brain, because it will never be clinched 

firmly if it is allowed to be split into fractional parts in the minds of many. It is allowable, therefore, for us to 

have cognizance of the scheme of action but not to discuss it lest we disturb its artfulness, the interdependence 

of its component parts, the practical force of the secret meaning of each clause. To discuss and make 

alterations in a labor of this kind by means of numerous votings is to impress upon it the stamp of all ratiocinations 

and misunderstandings which have failed to penetrate the depth and nexus of its plottings. We want

our schemes to be forcible and suitably concocted. Therefore WE OUGHT NOT TO FLING THE 

WORK OF GENIUS OF OUR GUIDE to the fangs of the mob or even of a select company. 

7. These schemes will not turn existing institutions upside down just yet. They will only effect changes in 

their economy and consequently in the whole combined movement of their progress, which will thus be directed 

along the paths laid down in our schemes. 

POISON OF LIBERALISM 

8. Under various names there exists in all countries approximately one and the same thing. Representation, 

Ministry, Senate, State Council, Legislative and Executive Corps. I need not explain to you the mechanism 

of the relation of these institutions to one another, because you are aware of all that; only take note of the 

fact that each of the above-named institutions corresponds to some important function of the State, and I 

would beg you to remark that the word "important" I apply not to the institution but to the function, consequently 

it is not the institutions which are important but their functions. These institutions have divided up 

among themselves all the functions of government - administrative, legislative, executive, wherefore they 

have come to operate as do the organs in the human body. If we injure one part in the machinery of State, the 

State falls sick, like a human body, and ... will die. 

9. When we introduced into the State organism the poison of Liberalism its whole political complexion underwent 

a change. States have been seized with a mortal illness - blood poisoning. All that remains is to 

await the end of their death agony. 

10. Liberalism produced Constitutional States, which took the place of what was the only safeguard of the 

GOYIM, namely, Despotism; and A CONSTITUTION, AS YOU WELL KNOW, IS NOTHING ELSE 

BUT A SCHOOL OF DISCORDS, misunderstandings, quarrels, disagreements, fruitless party agitations, 

party whims - in a word, a school of everything that serves to destroy the personality of State activity. THE 

TRIBUNE OF THE "TALKERICS" HAS, NO LESS EFFECTIVELY THAN THE PRESS, CON- 

DEMNED THE RULERS TO INACTIVITY AND IMPOTENCE, and thereby rendered them useless 

and superfluous, for which reason indeed they have been in many countries deposed. THEN IT WAS 

THAT THE ERA OF REPUBLICS BECOME POSSIBLE OF REALIZATION; AND THEN IT WAS 

THAT WE REPLACED THE RULER BY A CARICATURE OF A GOVERNMENT - BY A PRESI- 

DENT, TAKEN FROM THE MOB, FROM THE MIDST OF OUR PUPPET CREATURES, OR 

SLAVES. This was the foundation of the mine which we have laid under the GOY people, I should rather 

say, under the GOY peoples. 

WE NAME PRESIDENTS 

11. In the near future we shall establish the responsibility of presidents. 

12. By that time we shall be in a position to disregard forms in carrying through matters for which our impersonal 

puppet will be responsible. What do we care if the ranks of those striving for power should be 

thinned, if there should arise a deadlock from the impossibility of finding presidents, a deadlock which will 

finally disorganize the country ... 

13. In order that our scheme may produce this result we shall arrange elections in favor of such presidents as 

have in their past some dark, undiscovered stain, some "Panama" or other - then they will be trustworthy 

agents for the accomplishment of our plans out of fear of revelations and from the natural desire of everyone 

who has attained power, namely, the retention of the privileges, advantages and honor connected with the 

office of president. The chamber of deputies will provide cover for, will protect, will elect presidents, but we 

shall take from it the right to propose new, or make changes in existing laws, for this right will be given by 

us to the responsible president, a puppet in our hands. Naturally, the authority of the presidents will then become 

a target for every possible form of attack, but we shall provide him with a means of self-defense in the 

right of an appeal to the people, for the decision of the people over the heads of their representatives, that is

to say, an appeal to that some blind slave of ours - the majority of the mob. Independently of this we shall 

invest the president with the right of declaring a state of war. We shall justify this last right on the ground 

that the president as chief of the whole army of the country must have it at his disposal, in case of need for 

the defense of the new republican constitution, the right to defend which will belong to him as the responsible 

representative of this constitution. 

14. It is easy to understand them in these conditions the key of the shrine will lie in our hands, and no one 

outside ourselves will any longer direct the force of legislation. 

15. Besides this we shall, with the introduction of the new republican constitution, take from the Chamber 

the right of interpolation on government measures, on the pretext of preserving political secrecy, and, further, 

we shall by the new constitution reduce the number of representatives to a minimum, thereby proportionately 

reducing political passions and the passion for politics. If, however, they should, which is hardly to 

be expected, burst into flame, even in this minimum, we shall nullify them by a stirring appeal and a reference 

to the majority of the whole people ... Upon the president will depend the appointment of presidents 

and vice-presidents of the Chamber and the Senate. Instead of constant sessions of Parliaments we shall reduce 

their sittings to a few months. Moreover, the president, as chief of the executive power, will have the 

right to summon and dissolve Parliament, and, in the latter case, to prolong the time for the appointment of a 

new parliamentary assembly. But in order that the consequences of all these acts which in substance are illegal, 

should not, prematurely for our plans, upon the responsibility established by use of the president, WE 

SHALL INSTIGATE MINISTERS AND OTHER OFFICIALS OF THE HIGHER ADMINISTRA- 

TION ABOUT THE PRESIDENT TO EVADE HIS DISPOSITIONS BY TAKING MEASURES OF 

THEIR OWN, for doing which they will be made the scapegoats in his place ... This part we especially recommend 

to be given to be played by the Senate, the Council of State, or the Council of Ministers, but not to 

an individual official. 

16. The president will, at our discretion, interpret the sense of such of the existing laws as admit of various 

interpretation; he will further annul them when we indicate to him the necessity to do so, besides this, he will 

have the right to propose temporary laws, and even new departures in the government constitutional working, 

the pretext both for the one and the other being the requirements for the supreme welfare of the State. 

WE SHALL DESTROY 

17. By such measure we shall obtain the power of destroying little by little, step by step, all that at the outset 

when we enter on our rights, we are compelled to introduce into the constitutions of States to prepare for the 

transition to an imperceptible abolition of every kind of constitution, and then the time is come to turn every 

form of government into OUR DESPOTISM. 

18. The recognition of our despot may also come before the destruction of the constitution; the moment for 

this recognition will come when the peoples, utterly wearied by the irregularities and incompetence - a matter 

which we shall arrange for - of their rulers, will clamor: "Away with them and give us one king over all 

the earth who will unite us and annihilate the causes of disorders - frontiers, nationalities, religions, State 

debts - who will give us peace and quiet which we cannot find under our rulers and representatives." 

19. But you yourselves perfectly well know that TO PRODUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE EX- 

PRESSION OF SUCH WISHES BY ALL THE NATIONS IT IS INDISPENSABLE TO TROUBLE 

IN ALL COUNTRIES THE PEOPLE'S RELATIONS WITH THEIR GOVERNMENTS SO AS TO 

UTTERLY EXHAUST HUMANITY WITH DISSENSION, HATRED, STRUGGLE, ENVY AND 

EVEN BY THE USE OF TORTURE, BY STARVATION, BY THE INOCULATION OF DISEASES, 

BY WANT, SO THAT THE "GOYIM" SEE NO OTHER ISSUE THAN TO TAKE REFUGE IN 

OUR COMPLETE SOVEREIGNTY IN MONEY AND IN ALL ELSE. 

20. But if we give the nations of the world a breathing space the moment we long for is hardly likely ever to 

arrive.


1. The State Council has been, as it were, the emphatic expression of the authority of the ruler: it will be, as 

the "show" part of the Legislative Corps, what may be called the editorial committee of the laws and decrees 

of the ruler. 

2. This, then, is the program of the new constitution. We shall make Law, Right and Justice (1) in the guise 

of proposals to the Legislative Corps, (2) by decrees of the president under the guise of general regulations, 

of orders of the Senate and of resolutions of the State Council in the guise of ministerial orders, (3) and in 

case a suitable occasion should arise - in the form of a revolution in the State. 

3. Having established approximately the MODUS AGENDI we will occupy ourselves with details of those 

combinations by which we have still to complete the revolution in the course of the machinery of State in the 

direction already indicated. By these combinations I mean the freedom of the Press, the right of association, 

freedom of conscience, the voting principle, and many another that must disappear for ever from the memory 

of man, or undergo a radical alteration the day after the promulgation of the new constitution. It is only 

at the moment that we shall be able at once to announce all our orders, for, afterwards, every noticeable alteration 

will be dangerous, for the following reasons: if this alteration be brought in with harsh severity and 

in a sense of severity and limitations, it may lead to a feeling of despair caused by fear of new alterations in 

the same direction; if, on the other hand, it be brought in a sense of further indulgences it will be said that we 

have recognized our own wrong-doing and this will destroy the prestige of the infallibility of our authority, 

or else it will be said that we have become alarmed and are compelled to show a yielding disposition, for 

which we shall get no thanks because it will be supposed to be compulsory ... Both the one and the other are 

injurious to the prestige of the new constitution. What we want is that from the first moment of its promulgation, 

while the peoples of the world are still stunned by the accomplished fact of the revolution, still in a 

condition of terror and uncertainty, they should recognize once for all that we are so strong, so inexpugnable, 

so super-abundantly filled with power, that in no case shall we take any account of them, and so far from 

paying any attention to their opinions or wishes, we are ready and able to crush with irresistible power all 

expression or manifestation thereof at every moment and in every place, that we have seized at once everything 

we wanted and shall in no case divide our power with them ... Then in fear and trembling they will 

close their eyes to everything, and be content to await what will be the end of it all. 

WE ARE WOLVES 

4. The GOYIM are a flock of sheep, and we are their wolves. And you know what happens when the wolves 

get hold of the flock .... 

5. There is another reason also why they will close their eyes: for we shall keep promising them to give back 

all the liberties we have taken away as soon as we have quelled the enemies of peace and tamed all parties 

.... 

6. It is not worth to say anything about how long a time they will be kept waiting for this return of their liberties 

.... 

7. For what purpose then have we invented this whole policy and insinuated it into the minds of the GOY 

without giving them any chance to examine its underlying meaning For what, indeed, if not in order to obtain 

in a roundabout way what is for our scattered tribe unattainable by the direct road It is this which has 

served as the basis for our organization of SECRET MASONRY WHICH IS NOT KNOWN TO, AND 

AIMS WHICH ARE NOT EVEN SO MUCH AS SUSPECTED BY, THESE "GOY" CATTLE, AT- 

TRACTED BY US INTO THE "SHOW" ARMY OF MASONIC LODGES IN ORDER TO THROW 

DUST IN THE EYES OF THEIR FELLOWS.

8. God has granted to us, His Chosen People, the gift of the dispersion, and in this which appears in 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. 

9. There now remains not much more for us to build up upon the foundation we have laid. 


1. The word "freedom," which can be interpreted in various ways, is defined by us as follows - 

2. Freedom is the right to do what which the law allows. This interpretation of the word will at the proper 

time be of service to us, because all freedom will thus be in our hands, since the laws will abolish or create 

only that which is desirable for us according to the aforesaid program. 

3. We shall deal with the press in the following way: what is the part played by the press to-day It serves to 

excite and inflame those passions which are needed for our purpose or else it serves selfish ends of parties. It 

is often vapid, unjust, mendacious, and the majority of the public have not the slightest idea what ends the 

press really serves. We shall saddle and bridle it with a tight curb: we shall do the same also with all productions 

of the printing press, for where would be the sense of getting rid of the attacks of the press if we remain 

targets for pamphlets and books The produce of publicity, which nowadays is a source of heavy expense 

owing to the necessity of censoring it, will be turned by us into a very lucrative source of income to our 

State: we shall law on it a special stamp tax and require deposits of caution-money before permitting the establishment 

of any organ of the press or of printing offices; these will then have to guarantee our government 

against any kind of attack on the part of the press. For any attempt to attack us, if such still be possible, we 

shall inflict fines without mercy. Such measures as stamp tax, deposit of caution-money and fines secured by 

these deposits, will bring in a huge income to the government. It is true that party organs might not spare 

money for the sake of publicity, but these we shall shut up at the second attack upon us. No one shall with 

impunity lay a finger on the aureole of our government infallibility. The pretext for stopping any publication 

will be the alleged plea that it is agitating the public mind without occasion or justification. I BEG YOU TO 

NOTE THAT AMONG THOSE MAKING ATTACKS UPON US WILL ALSO BE ORGANS ES- 

TABLISHED BY US, BUT THEY WILL ATTACK EXCLUSIVELY POINTS THAT WE HAVE 

PRE-DETERMINED TO ALTER. 

WE CONTROL THE PRESS 

4. NOT A SINGLE ANNOUNCEMENT WILL REACH THE PUBLIC WITHOUT OUR CON- 

TROL. Even now this is already being attained by us inasmuch as all news items are received by a few 

agencies, in whose offices they are focused from all parts of the world. These agencies will then be already 

entirely ours and will give publicity only to what we dictate to them. 

5. If already now we have contrived to possess ourselves of the minds of the GOY communities to such an 

extent the they all come near looking upon the events of the world through the colored glasses of those spectacles 

we are setting astride their noses; if already now there is not a single State where there exist for us any 

barriers to admittance into what GOY stupidity calls State secrets: what will our positions be then, when we 

shall be acknowledged supreme lords of the world in the person of our king of all the world .... 

6. Let us turn again to the FUTURE OF THE PRINTING PRESS. Every one desirous of being a publisher, 

librarian, or printer, will be obliged to provide himself with the diploma instituted therefore, which, in 

case of any fault, will be immediately impounded. With such measures THE INSTRUMENT OF 

THOUGHT WILL BECOME AN EDUCATIVE MEANS ON THE HANDS OF OUR GOVERN- 

MENT, WHICH WILL NO LONGER ALLOW THE MASS OF THE NATION TO BE LED 

ASTRAY IN BY-WAYS AND FANTASIES ABOUT THE BLESSINGS OF PROGRESS. Is there any

one of us who does not know that these phantom blessings are the direct roads to foolish imaginings which 

give birth to anarchical relations of men among themselves and towards authority, because progress, or 

rather the idea of progress, has introduced the conception of every kind of emancipation, but has failed to 

establish its limits .... All the so-called liberals are anarchists, if not in fact, at any rate in thought. Every one 

of them in hunting after phantoms of freedom, and falling exclusively into license, that is, into the anarchy of 

protest for the sake of protest .... 

FREE PRESS DESTROYED 

7. We turn to the periodical press. We shall impose on it, as on all printed matter, stamp taxes per sheet and 

deposits of caution- money, and books of less than 30 sheets will pay double. We shall reckon them as pamphlets 

in order, on the one hand, to reduce the number of magazines, which are the worst form of printed 

poison, and, on the other, in order that this measure may force writers into such lengthy productions that they 

will be little read, especially as they will be costly. At the same time what we shall publish ourselves to influence 

mental development in the direction laid down for our profit will be cheap and will be read voraciously. 

The tax will bring vapid literary ambitions within bounds and the liability to penalties will make literary 

men dependent upon us. And if there should be any found who are desirous of writing against us, they 

will not find any person eager to print their productions in print the publisher or printer will have to apply to 

the authorities for permission to do so. Thus we shall know beforehand of all tricks preparing against us and 

shall nullify them by getting ahead with explanations on the subject treated of. 

8. Literature and journalism are two of the most important educative forces, and therefore our government 

will become proprietor of the majority of the journals. This will neutralize the injurious influence of the privately-owned 

press and will put us in possession of a tremendous influence upon the public mind .... If we 

give permits for ten journals, we shall ourselves found thirty, and so on in the same proportion. This, however, 

must in no wise be suspected by the public. For which reason all journals published by us will be of the 

most opposite, in appearance, tendencies and opinions, thereby creating confidence in us and bringing over 

to us quite unsuspicious opponents, who will thus fall into our trap and be rendered harmless. 

9. In the front rank will stand organs of an official character. They will always stand guard over our interests, 

and therefore their influence will be comparatively insignificant. 

10. In the second rank will be the semi-official organs, whose part it will be to attack the tepid and indifferent. 

11. In the third rank we shall set up our own, to all appearance, off position, which, in at least one of its organs, 

will present what looks like the very antipodes to us. Our real opponents at heart will accept this simulated 

opposition as their own and will show us their cards. 

12. All our newspapers will be of all possible complexions - aristocratic, republican, revolutionary, even 

anarchical - for so long, of course, as the constitution exists .... Like the Indian idol "Vishnu" they will have a 

hundred hands, and every one of them will have a finger on any one of the public opinions as required. 

When a pulse quickens these hands will lead opinion in the direction of our aims, for an excited patient loses 

all power of judgment and easily yields to suggestion. Those fools who will think they are repeating the 

opinion of a newspaper of their own camp will be repeating our opinion or any opinion that seems desirable 

for us. In the vain belief that they are following the organ of their party they will, in fact, follow the flag 

which we hang out for them. 

13. In order to direct our newspaper militia in this sense we must take special and minute care in organizing 

this matter. Under the title of central department of the press we shall institute literary gatherings at which 

our agents will without attracting attention issue the orders and watchwords of the day. By discussing andcontroverting, 

but always superficially, without touching the essence of the matter, our organs will carry on a 

sham fight fusillade with the official newspapers solely for the purpose of giving occasion for us to express

ourselves more fully than could well be done from the outset in official announcements, whenever, of 

course, that is to our advantage. 

14. THESE ATTACKS UPON US WILL ALSO SERVE ANOTHER PURPOSE, NAMELY, THAT 

OUR SUBJECTS WILL BE CONVINCED TO THE EXISTENCE OF FULL FREEDOM OF 

SPEECH AND SO GIVE OUR AGENTS AN OCCASION TO AFFIRM THAT ALL ORGANS 

WHICH OPPOSE US ARE EMPTY BABBLERS, since they are incapable of finding any substantial objections 

to our orders. 

ONLY LIES PRINTED 

15. Methods of organization like these, imperceptible to the public eye but absolutely sure, are the best calculated 

to succeed in bringing the attention and the confidence of the public to the side of our government. 

Thanks to such methods we shall be in a position as from time to time may be required, to excite or to tranquillize 

the public mind on political questions, to persuade or to confuse, printing now truth, now lies, facts 

or their contradictions, according as they may be well or ill received, always very cautiously feeling our 

ground before stepping upon it .... WE SHALL HAVE A SURE TRIUMPH OVER OUR OPPONENTS 

SINCE THEY WILL NOT HAVE AT THEIR DISPOSITION ORGANS OF THE PRESS IN 

WHICH THEY CAN GIVE FULL AND FINAL EXPRESSION TO THEIR VIEWS owing to the 

aforesaid methods of dealing with the press. We shall not even need to refute them except very superficially. 

16. Trial shots like these, fired by us in the third rank of our press, in case of need, will be energetically refuted 

by us in our semi-official organs. 

17. Even nowadays, already, to take only the French press, there are forms which reveal masonic solidarity 

in acting on the watchword: all organs of the press are bound together by professional secrecy; like the augurs 

of old, not one of their numbers will give away the secret of his sources of information unless it be resolved 

to make announcement of them. Not one journalist will venture to betray this secret, for not one of 

them is ever admitted to practice literature unless his whole past has some disgraceful sore or other .... These 

sores would be immediately revealed. So long as they remain the secret of a few the prestige of the journalist 

attacks the majority of the country - the mob follow after him with enthusiasm. 

18. Our calculations are especially extended to the provinces. It is indispensable for us to inflame there those 

hopes and impulses with which we could at any moment fall upon the capital, and we shall represent to the 

capitals that these expressions are the independent hopes and impulses of the provinces. Naturally, the 

source of them will be always one and the same - ours. WHAT WE NEED IS THAT, UNTIL SUCH 

TIME AS WE ARE IN THE PLENITUDE POWER, THE CAPITALS SHOULD FIND THEM- 

SELVES STIFLED BY THE PROVINCIAL OPINION OF THE NATIONS, I.E., OF A MAJORITY 

ARRANGED BY OUR AGENTUR. What we need is that at the psychological moment the capitals should 

not be in a position to discuss an accomplished fact for the simple reason, if for no other, that it has been accepted 

by the public opinion of a majority in the provinces. 

19. WHEN WE ARE IN THE PERIOD OF THE NEW REGIME TRANSITIONAL TO THAT OF 

OUR ASSUMPTION OF FULL SOVEREIGNTY WE MUST NOT ADMIT ANY REVELATION BY 

THE PRESS OF ANY FORM OF PUBLIC DISHONESTY; IT IS NECESSARY THAT THE NEW 

REGIME SHOULD BE THOUGHT TO HAVE SO PERFECTLY CONTENDED EVERYBODY 

THAT EVEN CRIMINALITY HAS DISAPPEARED ... Cases of the manifestation of criminality should 

remain known only to their victims and to chance witnesses - no more. 

PROTOCOL No. 13

1. The need for daily forces the GOYIM to keep silence and be our humble servants. Agents taken on to our 

press from among the GOYIM will at our orders discuss anything which it is inconvenient for us to issue 

directly in official documents, and we meanwhile, quietly amid the din of the discussion so raised, shall simply 

take and carry through such measures as we wish and then offer them to the public as an accomplished 

fact. No one will dare to demand the abrogation of a matter once settled, all the more so as it will be represented 

as an improvement ... And immediately the press will distract the current of thought towards, new 

questions, (have we not trained people always to be seeking something new). Into the discussions of these 

new questions will throw themselves those of the brainless dispensers of fortunes who are not able even now 

to understand that they have not the remotest conception about the matters which they undertake to discuss. 

Questions of the political are unattainable for any save those who have guided it already for many ages, the 

creators. 

2. From all this you will see that in seeming the opinion of the mob we are only facilitating the working of 

our machinery, and you may remark that it is not for actions but for words issued by us on this or that question 

that we seem to seek approval. We are constantly making public declaration that we are guided in all 

our undertakings by the hoope, joined to the conviction, that we are serving the common weal. 

WE DECEIVE WORKERS 

3. In order to distract people who may be too troublesome from discussions of questions of the political we 

are now putting forward what we allege to be new questions of the political, namely, questions of industry. 

In this sphere let them discuss themselves silly! The masses are agreed to remain inactive, to take a rest from 

what they suppose to be political (which we trained them to in order to use them as a means of combating 

the GOY governments) only on condition of being found new employments, in which we are prescribing 

them something that looks like the same political object. In order that the masses themselves may not guess 

what they are about WE FURTHER DISTRACT THEM WITH AMUSEMENTS, GAMES, PAS- 

TIMES, PASSIONS, PEOPLE'S PALACES .... SOON WE SHALL BEGIN THROUGH THE PRESS 

TO PROPOSE COMPETITIONS IN ART, IN SPORT IN ALL KINDS: these interests will finally distract 

their minds from questions in which we should find ourselves compelled to oppose them. Growing 

more and more dis- accustomed to reflect and form any opinions of their own, people will begin to talk in 

the same tone as we because we alone shall be offering them new directions for thought ... of course through 

such persons as will not be suspected of solidarity with us. 

4. The part played by the liberals, utopian dreamers, will be finally played out when our government is acknowledged. 

Till such time they will continue to do us good service. Therefore we shall continue to direct 

their minds to all sorts of vain conceptions of fantastic theories, new and apparently progressive: for have we 

not with complete success turned the brainless heads of the GOYIM with progress, till there is not among 

the GOYIM one mind able to perceive that under this word lies a departure from truth in all cases where it is 

not a question of material inventions, like a fallacious idea, serves to obscure truth so that none may know it 

except us, the Chosen of God, its guardians. 

5. When, we come into our kingdom our orators will expound great problems which have turned humanity 

upside down in order to bring it at the end under our beneficent rule. 

6. Who will ever suspect then that ALL THESE PEOPLES WERE STAGE-MANAGED BY US AC- 

CORDING TO A POLITICAL PLAN WHICH NO ONE HAS SO MUCH AS GUESSED AT IN THE 

COURSE OF MANY CENTURIES 


1. When we come into our kingdom it will be undesirable for us that there should exist any other religion 

than ours of the One God with whom our destiny is bound up by our position as the Chosen People and

through whom our same destiny is united with the destinies of the world. We must therefore sweep away all 

other forms of belief. If this gives birth to the atheists whom we see to-day, it will not, being only a transitional 

stage, interfere with our views, but will serve as a warning for those generations which will hearken to 

our preaching of the religion of Moses, that, by its stable and thoroughly elaborated system has brought all 

the peoples of the world into subjection to us. Therein we shall emphasize its mystical right, on which, as we 

shall say, all its educative power is based .... Then at every possible opportunity we shall publish articles in 

which we shall make comparisons between our beneficent rule and those of past ages. The blessing of tranquillity, 

though it be a tranquillity forcibly brought about by centuries of agitation, will throw into higher 

relief the benefits to which we shall point. The errors of the GOYIM governments will be depicted by us in 

the most vivid hues. We shall implant such an abhorrence of them that the peoples will prefer tranquillity in 

a state of serfdom to those rights of vaunted freedom which have tortured humanity and exhausted the very 

sources of human existence, sources which have been exploited by a mob of rascally adventurers who know 

not what they do .... USELESS CHANGES OF FORMS OF GOVERNMENT TO WHICH WE IN- 

STIGATED THE "GOYIM" WHEN WE WERE UNDERMINING THEIR STATE STRUCTURES, 

WILL HAVE SO WEARIED THE PEOPLES BY THAT TIME THAT THEY WILL PREFER TO 

SUFFER ANYTHING UNDER US RATHER THAN RUN THE RISK OF ENDURING AGAIN ALL 

THE AGITATIONS AND MISERIES THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH. 

WE SHALL FORBID CHRIST 

2. At the same time we shall not omit to emphasize the historical mistakes of the GOY governments which 

have tormented humanity for so many centuries by their lack of understanding of everything that constitutes 

the true good of humanity in their chase after fantastic schemes of social blessings, and have never noticed 

that these schemes kept on producing a worse and never a better state of the universal relations which are the 

basis of human life .... 

3. The whole force of our principles and methods will lie in the fact that we shall present them and expound 

them as a splendid contrast to the dead and decomposed old order of things in social life. 

4. Our philosophers will discuss all the shortcomings of the various beliefs of the "GOYIM," BUT NO 

ONE WILL EVER BRING UNDER DISCUSSION OUR FAITH FROM ITS TRUE POINT OF 

VIEW SINCE THIS WILL BE FULLY LEARNED BY NONE SAVE OURS WHO WILL NEVER 

DARE TO BETRAY ITS SECRETS. 

5. IN COUNTRIES KNOWN AS PROGRESSIVE AND ENLIGHTENED WE HAVE CREATED A 

SENSELESS, FILTHY, ABOMINABLE LITERATURE. For some time after our entrance to power we 

shall continue to encourage its existence in order to provide a telling relief by contrast to the speeches, party 

program, which will be distributed from exalted quarters of ours .... Our wise men, trained to become leaders 

of the GOYIM, will compose speeches, projects, memoirs, articles, which will be used by us to influence 

the minds of the GOYIM, directing them towards such understanding and forms of knowledge as have been 

determined by us. 


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 SE- 

RIOUS 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 IN- 

TERNATIONAL 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 DISRE- 

GARD 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 VIC- 

TIMS 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 PEN- 

ALTIES 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. 

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 DEVO- 

TION 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. 


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 PRO- 

GRAMS 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 FOR- 

EIGN 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.


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 PATRI- 

ARCH 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 DE- 

NOUNCE 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 SER- 

VICE 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. 


1. When it becomes necessary for us to strengthen the strict measures of secret defense (the most fatal poison 

for the prestige of authority) we shall arrange a simulation of disorders or some manifestation of discontents 

finding expression through the co- operation of good speakers. Round these speakers will assemble all who 

are sympathetic to his utterances. This will give us the pretext for domiciliary prerequisitions and surveillance 

on the part of our servants from among the number of the GOYIM police .... 

2. As the majority of conspirators act of love for the game, for the sake of talking, so, until they commit 

some overt act we shall not lay a finger on them but only introduce into their midst observation elements .... 

It must be remembered that the prestige of authority is lessened if it frequently discovers conspiracies 

against itself: this implies a presumption of consciousness of weakness, or, what is still worse, of injustice. 

You are aware that we have broken the prestige of the GOY kings by frequent attempts upon their lives 

through our agents, blind sheep of our flock, who are easily moved by a few liberal phrases to crimes provided 

only they be painted in political colors. WE HAVE COMPELLED THE RULERS TO AC- 

KNOWLEDGE THEIR WEAKNESS IN ADVERTISING OVERT MEASURES OF SECRETE DE- 

FENSE AND THEREBY WE SHALL BRING THE PROMISE OF AUTHORITY TO DESTRUC- 

TION. 

3. Our ruler will be secretly protected only by the most insignificant guard, because we shall not admit so 

much as a thought that there could exist against him any sedition with which he is not strong enough to contend 

and is compelled to hide from it. 

4. If we should admit this thought, as the GOYIM have done and are doing, we should IPSO FACTO be 

signing a death sentence, if not for our ruler, at any rate for his dynasty, at no distant date. 

GOVERNMENT BY FEAR 

5. According to strictly enforced outward appearances our ruler will employ his power only for the advantage 

of the nation and in no wise for his own or dynastic profits. Therefore, with the observance of this decorum, 

his authority will be respected and guarded by the subjects themselves, it will receive an apotheosis in

the admission that with it is bound up the well-being of every citizen of the State, for upon it will depend all 

order in the common life of the pack .... 

6. OVERT DEFENSE OF THE KIND ARGUES WEAKNESS IN THE ORGANIZATION OF HIS 

STRENGTH. 

7. Our ruler will always be among the people and be surrounded by a mob of apparently curious men and 

women, who will occupy the front ranks about him, to all appearance by chance, and will restrain the ranks 

of the rest out of respect as it will appear for good order. This will sow an example of restraint also in others. 

If a petitioner appears among the people trying to hand a petition and forcing his way through the ranks, the 

first ranks must receive the petition and before the eyes of the petitioner pass it to the ruler, so that all may 

know that what is handed in reaches its destination, that consequently, there exists a control of the ruler himself. 

The aureole of power requires for is existence that the people may be able to say: "If the king knew of 

this," or: "the king will hear it." 

8. WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF OFFICIAL DEFENSE, THE MYSTICAL PRESTIGE OF 

AUTHORITY DISAPPEARS: given a certain audacity, and everyone counts himself master of it, the sedition- 

monger is conscious of his strength, and when occasion serves watches for the moment to make an attempt 

upon authority .... For the GOYIM we have been preaching something else, but by that very fact we 

are enabled to see what measures of overt defense have brought them to .... 

9. CRIMINALS WITH US WILL BE ARRESTED AT THE FIRST, more or less, well-grounded SUS- 

PICION: it cannot be allowed that out of fear of a possible mistake an opportunity should be given of escape 

to persons suspected of a political lapse of crime, for in these matters we shall be literally merciless. If 

it is still possible, by stretching a point, to admit a reconsideration of the motive causes in simple crimes, 

there is no possibility of excuse for persons occupying themselves with questions in which nobody except 

the government can understand anything .... And it is not all governments that understand true policy. 


1. If we do not permit any independent dabbling in the political we shall on the other hand encourage every 

kind of report or petition with proposals for the government to examine into all kinds of projects for the amelioration 

of the condition of the people; this will reveal to us the defects or else the fantasies of our subjects, 

to which we shall respond either by accomplishing them or by a wise rebuttment to prove the shortsightedness 

of one who judges wrongly. 

2. Sedition-mongering is nothing more than the yapping of a lap- dog at an elephant. For a government well 

organized, not from the police but from the public point of view, the lap-dog yaps at the elephant in entire 

unconsciousness of its strength and importance. It needs no more than to take a good example to show the 

relative importance of both and the lap-dogs will cease to yap and will wag their tails the moment they set 

eyes on an elephant. 

3. In order to destroy the prestige of heroism for political crime we shall send it for trial in the category of 

thieving, murder, and every kind of abominable and filthy crime. Public opinion will then confuse in its conception 

of this category of crime with the disgrace attaching to every other and will brand it with the same 

contempt. 

4. We have done our best, and I hope we have succeeded to obtain that the GOYIM should not arrive at this 

means of contending with sedition. It was for this reason that through the Press and in speeches, indirectly - 

in cleverly compiled school- books on history, we have advertised the martyrdom alleged to have been accredited 

by sedition-mongers for the idea of the commonweal. This advertisement has increased the contingent 

of liberals and has brought thousands of GOYIM into the ranks of our livestock cattle.


1. To-day we shall touch upon the financial program, which I put off to the end of my report as being the 

most difficult, the crowning and the decisive point of our plans. Before entering upon it I will remind you 

that I have already spoken before by way of a hint when I said that the sum total of our actions is settled by 

the question of figures. 

2. When we come into our kingdom our autocratic government will avoid, from a principle of selfpreservation, 

sensibly burdening the masses of the people with taxes, remembering that it plays the part of 

father and protector. But as State organization cost dear it is necessary nevertheless to obtain the funds required 

for it. It will, therefore, elaborate with particular precaution the question of equilibrium in this matter. 

3. Our rule, in which the king will enjoy the legal fiction that everything in his State belongs to him (which 

may easily be translated into fact), will be enabled to resort to the lawful confiscation of all sums of every 

kind for the regulation of their circulation in the State. From this follows that taxation will best be covered 

by a progressive tax on property. In this manner the dues will be paid without straitening or ruining anybody 

in the form of a percentage of the amount of property. The rich must be aware that it is their duty to place a 

part of their superfluities at the disposal of the State since the State guarantees them security of possession of 

the rest of their property and the right of honest gains, I say honest, for the control over property will do 

away with robbery on a legal basis. 

4. This social reform must come from above, for the time is ripe for it - it is indispensable as a pledge of 

peace. 

WE SHALL DESTROY CAPITAL 

5. The tax upon the poor man is a seed of revolution and works to the detriment of the State which is hunting 

after the trifling is missing the big. Quite apart from this, a tax on capitalists diminishes the growth of wealth 

in private hands in which we have in these days concentrated it as a counterpoise to the government strength 

of the GOYIM - their State finances. 

6. A tax increasing in a percentage ratio to capital will give much larger revenue than the present individual 

or property tax, which is useful to us now for the sole reason that it excites trouble and discontent among the 

GOYIM. (Now we know the purpose of the 16th Amendment!!). 

7. The force upon which our king will rest consists in the equilibrium and the guarantee of peace, for the 

sake of which things it is indispensable that the capitalists should yield up a portion of their incomes for the 

sake of the secure working of the machinery of the State. State needs must be paid by those who will not feel 

the burden and have enough to take from. 

8. Such a measure will destroy the hatred of the poor man for the rich, in whom he will see a necessary financial 

support for the State, will see in him the organizer of peace and well-being since he will see that it is 

the rich man who is paying the necessary means to attain these things. 

9. In order that payers of the educated classes should not too much distress themselves over the new payments 

they will have full accounts given them of the destination of those payments, with the exception of 

such sums as will be appropriated for the needs of the throne and the administrative institutions. 

10. He who reigns will not have any properties of his own once all in the State represented his patrimony, or 

else the one would be in contradiction to the other; the fact of holding private means would destroy the right 

of property in the common possessions of all.

11. Relatives of him who reigns, his heirs excepted, who will be maintained by the resources of the State, 

must enter the ranks of servants of the State or must work to obtain the right to property; the privilege of 

royal blood must not serve for the spoiling of the treasury. 

12. Purchase, receipt of money or inheritance will be subject to the payment of a stamp progressive tax. Any 

transfer of property, whether money or other, without evidence of payment of this tax which will be strictly 

registered by names, will render the former holder liable to pay interest on the tax from the moment of transfer 

of these sums up to the discovery of his evasion of declaration of the transfer. Transfer documents must 

be presented weekly at the local treasury office with notifications of the name, surname and permanent place 

of residence of the former and the new holder of the property. This transfer with register of names must begin 

from a definite sum which exceeds the ordinary expenses of buying and selling necessaries, and these 

will be subject to payment only by a stamp impost of a definite percentage of the unit. 

13. Just strike an estimate of how many times such taxes as these will cover the revenue of the GOYIM 

States. 

WE CAUSE DEPRESSIONS 

14. The State exchequer will have to maintain a definite complement of reserve sums, and all that is collected 

above that complement must be returned into circulation. On these sums will be organized public 

works. The initiative in works of this kind, proceeding from State sources, will blind the working class 

firmly to the interests of the State and to those who reign. From these same sums also a part will be set aside 

as rewards of inventiveness and productiveness. 

15. On no account should so much as a single unit above the definite and freely estimated sums be retained 

in the State Treasuries, for money exists to be circulated and any kind of stagnation of money acts ruinously 

on the running of the State machinery, for which it is the lubricant; a stagnation of the lubricant may stop the 

regular working of the mechanism. 

16. The substitution of interest-bearing paper for a part of the token of exchange has produced exactly this 

stagnation. The consequences of this circumstance are already sufficiently noticeable. 

17. A court of account will also be instituted by us, and in it the ruler will find at any moment a full accounting 

for State income and expenditure, with the exception of the current monthly account, not yet made up, 

and that of the preceding month, which will not yet have been delivered. 

18. The one and only person who will have no interest in robbing the State is its owner, the ruler. This is 

why his personal control will remove the possibility of leakages of extravagances. 

19. The representative function of the ruler at receptions for the sake of etiquette, which absorbs so much 

invaluable time, will be abolished in order that the ruler may have time for control and consideration. His 

power will not then be split up into fractional parts among time-serving favorites who surround the throne 

for its pomp and splendor, and are interested only in their own and not in the common interests of the State. 

20. Economic crises have been producer by us for the GOYIM by no other means than the withdrawal of 

money from circulation. Huge capitals have stagnated, withdrawing money from States, which were constantly 

obliged to apply to those same stagnant capitals for loans. These loans burdened the finances of the 

State with the payment of interest and made them the bond slaves of these capitals .... The concentration of 

industry in the hands of capitalists out of the hands of small masters has drained away all the juices of the 

peoples and with them also the States .... (Now we know the purpose of the Federal Reserve Bank Corporation!!). 

21. The present issue of money in general does not correspond with the requirements per head, and cannot 

therefore satisfy all the needs of the workers. The issue of money ought to correspond with the growth of

population and thereby children also must absolutely be reckoned as consumers of currency from the day of 

their birth. The revision of issue is a material question for the whole world. 

22. YOU ARE AWARE THAT THE GOLD STANDARD HAS BEEN THE RUIN OF THE STATES 

WHICH ADOPTED IT, FOR IT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO SATISFY THE DEMANDS FOR 

MONEY, THE MORE SO THAT WE HAVE REMOVED GOLD FROM CIRCULATION AS FAR 

AS POSSIBLE. 

GENTILE STATES BANKRUPT 

23. With us the standard that must be introduced is the cost of working-man power, whether it be reckoned 

in paper or in wood. We shall make the issue of money in accordance with the normal requirements of each 

subject, adding to the quantity with every birth and subtracting with every death. 

24. The accounts will be managed by each department (the French administrative division), each circle. 

25. In order that there may be no delays in the paying our of money for State needs the sums and terms of 

such payments will be fixed by decree of the ruler; this will do away with the protection by a ministry of one 

institution to the detriment of others. 

26. The budgets of income and expenditure will be carried out side by side that they may not be obscured by 

distance one to another. 

27. The reforms projected by us in the financial institutions and principles of the GOYIM will be clothed by 

us in such forms as will alarm nobody. We shall point out the necessity of reforms in consequence of the 

disorderly darkness into which the GOYIM by their irregularities have plunged the finances. The first irregularity, 

as we shall point out, consists in their beginning with drawing up a single budget which year after 

year grows owing to the following cause: this budget is dragged out to half the year, then they demand a 

budget to put things right, and this they expend in three months, after which they ask for a supplementary 

budget, and all this ends with a liquidation budget. But, as the budget of the following year is drawn up in 

accordance with the sum of the total addition, the annual departure from the normal reaches as much as 50 

per cent in a year, and so the annual budget is trebled in ten years. Thanks to such methods, allowed by the 

carelessness of the GOY States, their treasuries are empty. The period of loans supervenes, and that has 

swallowed up remainders and brought all the GOY States to bankruptcy. (The United States was declared 

"bankrupt" at the Geneva Convention of 1929! [see 31 USC 5112, 5118, and 5119). 

28. You understand perfectly that economic arrangements of this kind, which have been suggested to the 

GOYIM by us, cannot be carried on by us. 

29. Every kind of loan proves infirmity in the State and a want of understanding of the rights of the State. 

Loans hang like a sword of Damocles over the heads of rulers, who, instead of taking from their subjects by 

a temporary tax, come begging with outstretched palm of our bankers. Foreign loans are leeches which there 

is no possibility of removing from the body of the State until they fall off of themselves or the State flings 

them off. But the GOY States do not tear them off; they go on in persisting in putting more on to themselves 

so that they must inevitably perish, drained by voluntary blood-letting. 

TYRANNY OF USURY 

30. What also indeed is, in substance, a loan, especially a foreign loan A loan is - an issue of government 

bills of exchange containing a percentage obligation commensurate to the sum of the loan capital. If the loan 

bears a charge of 5 per cent, then in twenty years the State vainly pays away in interest a sum equal to the 

loan borrowed, in forty years it is paying a double sum, in sixty - treble, and all the while the debt remains an 

unpaid debt.

31. From this calculation it is obvious that with any form of taxation per head the State is baling out the last 

coppers of the poor taxpayers in order to settle accounts with wealth foreigners, from whom it has borrowed 

money instead of collecting these coppers for its own needs without the additional interest. 

32. So long as loans were internal the GOYIM only shuffled their money from the pockets of the poor to 

those of the rich, but when we bought up the necessary person in order to transfer loans into the external 

sphere, all the wealth of States flowed into our cash- boxes and all the GOYIM began to pay us the tribute 

of subjects. 

33. If the superficiality of GOY kings on their thrones in regard to State affairs and the venality of ministers 

or the want of understanding of financial matters on the part of other ruling persons have made their countries 

debtors to our treasuries to amounts quite impossible to pay it has not been accomplished without, on 

our part, heavy expenditure of trouble and money. 

34. Stagnation of money will not be allowed by us and therefore there will be no State interest-bearing paper, 

except a one per- cent series, so that there will be no payment of interest to leeches that suck all the 

strength out of the State. The right to issue interest-bearing paper will be given exclusively to industrial 

companies who will find no difficulty in paying interest out of profits, whereas the State does not make interest 

on borrowed money like these companies, for the State borrows to spend and not to use in operations. 

(Now we know why President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 when he refused to borrow any more of the 

"Bank Notes" from the bankers of the Federal Reserve Bank and began circulating non-interest bearing 

"Notes" of the "United States of America"!!!). 

35. Industrial papers will be bought also by the government which from being as now a paper of tribute by 

loan operations will be transformed into a lender of money at a profit. This measure will stop the stagnation 

of money, parasitic profits and idleness, all of which were useful for us among the GOYIM so long as they 

were independent but are not desirable under our rule. 

36. How clear is the undeveloped power of thought of the purely brute brains of the GOYIM, as expressed 

in the fact that they have been borrowing from us with payment of interest without ever thinking that all the 

same these very moneys plus an addition for payment of interest must be got by them from their own State 

pockets in order to settle up with us. What could have been simpler than to take the money they wanted from 

their own people 

37. But it is a proof of the genius of our chosen mind that we have contrived to present the matter of loans to 

them in such a light that they have even seen in them an advantage for themselves. 

38. Our accounts, which we shall present when the time comes, in the light of centuries of experience gained 

by experiments made by us on the GOY States, will be distinguished by clearness and definiteness and will 

show at a glance to all men the advantage of our innovations. They will put an end to those abuses to which 

we owe our mastery over the GOYIM, but which cannot be allowed in our kingdom. 

39. We shall so hedge about our system of accounting that neither the ruler nor the most insignificant public 

servant will be in a position to divert even the smallest sum from its destination without detection or to direct 

it in another direction except that which will be once fixed in a definite plan of action. (Is this why a "private 

corporation," known as the "Internal Revenue Service," is in charge of collecting the "payments" of the 

"Income Taxes" and the IRS always deposits those "payments" to the Federal Reserve bank and never to 

the Treasury of the United States). 

40. And without a definite plan it is impossible to rule. Marching along an undetermined road and with undetermined 

resources brings to ruin by the way heroes and demi-gods. 

41. The GOY rulers, whom we once upon a time advised should be distracted from State occupations by 

representative receptions, observances of etiquette, entertainments, were only screens for our rule. The ac-

counts of favorite courtiers who replaced them in the sphere of affairs were drawn up for them by our agents, 

and every time gave satisfaction to short-sighted minds by promises that in the future economics and improvements 

were foreseen .... Economics from what From new taxes - were questions that might have 

been but were not asked by those who read our accounts and projects. 

42. You know to what they have been brought by this carelessness, to what pitch of financial disorder they 

have arrived, notwithstanding the astonishing industry of their peoples.... 


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 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 .... (NOW WE NOW OF THE PURPOSE OF THE BULLSHIT CRY FOR 

BALANCING 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 hooked on their own files 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 interest 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 dis-

position 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. 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.


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. 


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 marketplaces 

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.
