PROTOCOL NO. 9
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.
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.
For us there are no 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 AMBITIONS, BURNING
GREEDINESS, MERCILESS VENGEANCE, HATREDS AND MALICE.
IT IS FROM US THAT 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. By these acts all States are in torture; they exhort to
tranquillity, 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.
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.
We might have reason to apprehend a union between the "clearsighted"
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.
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 questions
of the political in such wise as may turn them in the direction
that suits us.
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.
In order not 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.
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 BY US THAT THEY HAVE BEEN INCULCATED.
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 first in the fact that the INTERPRETATIONS
MASKED THE LAWS: 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.
This is the origin of the theory of course of arbitration.
You may say 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 maneuver of such appalling terror that
the very stoutest hearts quail - the undergrounds, metropolitains,
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 organisations and archives.
