Thoughts

No matter what you think of its origins, this is an extremely interesting read. It has always been called a fake, a forgery, but for over 100 years it has proved to be accurate, whether it is fake or not is no longer relevant, it is an accurate map of what has happened and what is still happening.

If you are unsettled by the “Jewishness” of the work, it would be no stretch to simply mentally swap the Jews with the oligarchs; the methods are what is more important to understand, at least initially, than the actors.

Of the themes recurrent throughout, I would say that money, or gold, is a cornerstone in this despotic plan. The plan calls for the creation of endless desires. Fear is limited, at one point you will risk death rather than bow, but desires can be endless, there is no point at which one might rebel from them. These desires are brought about in several ways, one being the putting of a price tag on everything, which is facilitated by economists, quantizing every aspect of life, and even life itself in the case of life insurance.

These desires are reinforced through what we might call “keeping up with the Jones’”, our neighbors’ success incites envy which in turn gives rise to hatred.

Once the almighty dollar is worshiped, faith will become relegated to a second class belief, for who would sacrifice their next purchase for some vague notion of an afterlife or a soul? This abandoning of faith reverberates through all of society, today possibly more so than any other time in history. With the abandonment the social structures that have stood centuries or millennia begin to collapse. Church becomes something you drag yourself, and your children, to every Sunday. Eventually, usually within a few generations, Sunday transforms into game-day, worship now takes place at the alter of the entertainment center, which gets larger, sharper, more realer than real as time passes.

Without the Church, communities no longer have a common ground, besides trying to buy newer cars, bigger boats, more lavish vacations, all in the name of bragging rights. Not to mentioned the hole of debt that these pursuits might create.

Not long after the community crumbles, the family begins to disintegrate. The youth see their friends more than their parents, the same alter the father worships football on, the children worship video games or social media. Schools and media, the former’s environment shaped much by the latter, become the main influences of children. Then comes university. The children, however emotionally distant from their parents, are now wrenched away physically, placed in coed fleshpots, left to fend for themselves with the only knowledge they have, knowledge from the media.

Here, in the university, is where the final corruption takes place. Professors, previously reared in the same manner, inject communist pollution into the unsteeled minds of the youth. Snowflakes we call them today. Reductionism at first, Darwinism, the cold scientific method. Next the vacuum of Nietzsche-ism. Finally Marxism, elitism (both that they are “educated” and therefore better and that those with money should be brought down), warriors of social change champion free healthcare, free education, universal basic income. The more oppressed you are the more points you get. Weakness is strength.

The last phase to destroy a society, after they have been divided, dumbed-down, poisoned (it mentions poor quality nutrition), is to instill a sense of fear in every last member of the population. Fear you are going to fail, fear you are going to succeed, fear you’ll lose your job, fear you’ll lose your spouse, fear of the unknown. War works to accomplish this to some degree, but you need something more, something eternal. Enter terrorism. You never know when it will strike, a madman with an IED, a drug addled child with a rifle, an unemployed father lashing out? Irrational fear is the last nail in the coffin of society.

All of these things have something in common. They are all proliferated, one way or another, through the media. The football game, the video game, the social media, the sitcom, the films, the music are all easy to understand as media, but they all shape the culture. Life imitates art as much as art imitates life. When you grow up in a world of multi-million dollar celebrities showing off their cribs, making sex tapes, yo-yoing in an out of rehab between red carpet jaunts, it imprints something on you, it normalizes behavior, it encourages behavior.

You see violence in the same movies and video games, ultimate fighting, the endless promotion of war, and, of course, the fear mongering of terrorists. The media is what has shaped out culture, and these protocols lay out that the control of the media is second only to the control of the money. This makes sense since the money lets you buy the media, the newspapers and the networks. With this soapbox, the media controls public opinion. If you doubt this, pick up any of Bernay’s works, Propaganda or Crystallizing Public Opinion, for example.

The erosion is slow and steady, like tiring out a fish by letting out a little bit of line before reeling it in, power is conceded and then consolidated. When the masses are given some slack on the rope made of money, they hang themselves in debt. They struggle and beg for someone to save them. “They” swoop in and save the day. The world marches to its own enslavement, not with shouts of protest, but with cheers of salvation. Nowhere is this cycle more apparent than in the color revolution. Take your pick, Iran, Guatemala, Egypt, Iraq, the list is long. Have the intelligence community, which is little more than an oligarchical tool, stir up revolution. Bomb the infrastructure, gas some people, stifle national finance, and blame it on the legitimate government. Before long the very people you are attacking come to your aid, they do the real dirty work out ousting your competition and usher in the era of foreign control.

This is nothing more than an extension of what is clearly stated within the pages of this book: “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 masses are unruly and can be steered easily by those who understand mass psychology. When ‘freedom’ is used as a rallying cry, men will do anything. If you tell them their freedom is threatened they will kill their own, fight a civil, and become riotous in the situation which you foment.

The only real defense against this foreign influence is, and this will be a hard pill for many to swallow, it was for me, aristocracy. While we might think it absurd to think of a King, a bloodline, ruling because they draw their power from God, it must be recognized that the King still had to care about his people. The historical despots we hear about are not as common as one might believe, if the King is too oppressive, he gambles with his head. His well-being is tied directly to that of his subjects. Tax them too heavily and your kingdom will not prosper, wage unnecessary war and you risk their wrath. The key is that responsibility lay with the King alone. Today, with a byzantine bureaucracy busily shirking from responsibility, passing the buck, and saying whatever sweet nothings the public wants to hear in endless campaigns, there is no single head we can remove to signal our displeasure with the state of affairs. It is at once everyone’s fault and no one’s fault.

The modern structure of government is, as with the media, the schools, and everything else, an outcropping of monetary control. Combine all of these and you get despotic social control of a hedonistic, Brave New World, variety. Until, as the book clearly states, when the control is complete, when the masses are no longer useful, there will be a bloodletting, and the masters of the world, call them Jews or oligarchs, will reign in perpetuity.

I’ll close with a pair of quotes, pertaining to money and the control it bestows upon its issuer:

(15) …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. (pg 45)

(20) Economic crises have been produced by us for the GOYIM by no other means than the withdrawal of money from circulation. (pg 46)

Turning these ideas back against the money masters, the masses can withdrawal money from circulation, remove the lubricant, seize the engine of oligarchical control… boycott! It will bring about an economic crisis, but on our terms. The difference being that the people have the money in their hands and the corporations (and state) will suffer in poverty. Well, everyone will suffer, but such are the pains of throwing off our fetters.

Exceptional Excerpts

“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."

“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."

“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."

“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."

“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."

“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."

“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."

“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."

“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, …"

“By want and the envy and hatred which it engenders we shall move the mobs”

“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."

“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."

“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 CALCULATIONS AND MATERIAL NEEDS."

“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."

“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."

“IT IS FROM US THAT THE ALL-ENGULFING TERROR PROCEEDS. WE HAVE IN OUR SERVICE PERSONS OF ALL OPINIONS, OF ALL DOCTRINES, RESTORATING MONARCHISTS, DEMAGOGUES, SOCIALISTS, COMMUNISTS, AND UTOPIAN DREAMERS OF EVERY KIND. We have harnessed them all to the task: EACH ONE OF THEM ON HIS OWN ACCOUNT IS BORING AWAY AT THE LAST REMNANTS OF AUTHORITY, IS STRIVING TO OVERTHROW ALL ESTABLISHED FORM OF ORDER."

“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."

“by inculcating in all a sense of self-importance, we shall destroy among the GOYIM the importance of the family”

“In order to effect the destruction of all collective forces except ours we shall emasculate the first stage of collectivism - the UNIVERSITIES, by reeducating them in a new direction."

“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."

“the State is bailing 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."

“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."

• 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.

• 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.

• 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”].

· Protocol 1

page 6:

• (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.

• (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.

page 7:

• (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.

• (10) …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.…

• (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.

page 8:

• Might is right.

page 9:

• (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.

• (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.

• (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.

• (25) Far back in ancient times we were the first to cry among the masses of the people the words “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,”… in nature there is no equality, cannot be freedom: that Nature herself has established inequality of minds, of characters, and capacities,…

page 10:

• …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.

• (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.

· Protocol 2

page 10:

• (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.

page 11:

• (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. … we have persuaded them to accept as the dictates of science (theory)… The intellectuals of the GOYIM will puff themselves up with their knowledge 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.

• (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.

• (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.

· Protocol 3

page 12:

• (3)… 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.

• (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.

• Consumerism and the constant desire for more.

• (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.

page 13:

• (7) … 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, …

• (8) By want and the envy and hatred which it engenders we shall move the mobs…

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

page 14:

• (11) THIS HATRED WILL BE STILL FURTHER MAGNIFIED BY THE EFFECTS of an ECONOMIC 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.

• (14) … 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.

• The answers lie in the past, not the future. The well being of kings is tied to the people. This is not the case with purely economic rulers.

• (16) … the GOYIM peoples suffer patiently and bear such abuses as for the least of them they would have beheaded twenty kings.

• Here we can see that the people do have power over a king. We can drag him into the town square and cut off his head. What modern analogy do we have? The robber barons have never, and will never, suffer such a fate.

• (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.

· Protocol 4

page 15:

• (2) …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.

• (3) …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 CALCULATIONS AND MATERIAL NEEDS.

• Because men could organize themselves in parishes and walk humbly under the hand of a guiding pastor.

• (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.

· Protocol 5

page 16:

• (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 looseness 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. …

• Morality dictated via laws… impossible.

page 17:

• (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. … Nowadays it is more important to disarm the peoples than to lead them into war… THE PRINCIPLE 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 ELOQUENCE.

• (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.

• How many politicians have ever followed through?

• (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.

• Don’t talk about politics (or religion), right?

page 18:

• (11) … THERE IS NOTHING MORE DANGEROUS THAN PERSONAL 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 SHALL SO WEAR DOWN THE “GOYIM” THAT THEY WILL BE COMPELLED TO OFFER 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.

· Protocol 6

page 18:

• (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 …

• (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.

• Property taxes…

page 19:

• (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,

• Investment banks.

• (7) …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,…

• Inflation.

· Protocol 7

page 20:

• (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.

· Protocol 8

page 20:

• (1) … 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.

· Protocol 9

We have harnessed them all to the task: EACH ONE OF THEM ON HIS OWN ACCOUNT IS BORING AWAY AT THE LAST REMNANTS OF AUTHORITY, IS STRIVING TO OVERTHROW ALL ESTABLISHED FORM OF ORDER.…

page 46:

• (20) Economic crises have been produced by us for the GOYIM by no other means than the withdrawal of money from circulation.…

• Even more bingo. Withdrawal money from circulation… boycott! and it will cause economic crisis. The difference being that the people have the money and the corporations (and state) will suffer. Well, everyone will suffer, but such are the pains of throwing off our fetters.

• (21) …children also must absolutely be reckoned as consumers of currency from the day of their birth. …

• (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.

• Absurd. The value of gold simply increases to satisfy commerce. That isn’t to say that paper can’t work as well, if limited, but saying “there isn’t enough gold” is utter nonsense. If, in dollar terms, $1000/oz gold isn’t enough, make it $2000/oz, or $10,000/oz.

• Further, if gold is so bad, why do they, the Jews in this document, insist on controlling it from page 1?

page 47:

• (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.

• (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.

• (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 bailing 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.

• (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.
