PROTOCOL NO. 3
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 symbolise our people. When this ring closes,
all the States of Europe will be locked in its coil as in a powerful
vice.
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 meant 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 farseeing 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.
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 host of confused issues
contend....A little more, and disorders and bankruptcy will be
universal....
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.
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 "People's
Rights" can exist only in idea, an idea which can never be
realized in practical life. What is it to the proletariat labourer,
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 favour of what we dictate, in favour of the
men we place in power, the servants of our AGENTUR.... Republican
right 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 on 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.
The people under our guidance have annihilated the aristocracy,
who were their one and only defence 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.
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 rapport in accordance with an alleged brotherly
rule (of the solidarity of all humanity) of our SOCIAL MASONRY.
The aristocracy, which enjoyed by law the labour 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.
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 on our way.
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 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 all 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 LABOUR, AND, CONSEQUENTLY,
THE DIVISION OF MEN INTO CLASSES AND CONDITIONS. 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 honour.
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 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.
This hatred will be still further magnified by the effects of
an ECONOMIC CRISIS, which will stop dealings 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 CRISIS 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.
"OURS" THEY WILL NOT TOUCH, BECAUSE THE MOMENT OF ATTACK
WILL BE KNOWN TO US AND WE SHALL TAKE MEASURES TO PROTECT OUR
OWN.
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 cauterise liberalism out of all institutions.
When the populace has seen that all sorts of concessions and
indulgences are yielded it in the 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.
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 favour of that KING-DESPOT OF THE BLOOD OF ZION,
WHOM WE ARE PREPARING FOR THE WORLD.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
These beasts, it is true, fall asleep again every time when they
have drunk their fill of blood, and at such times can easily be
riveted into their chains. But if they be not given blood they
will not sleep and continue to struggle.
