PROTOCOL NO. 22
In all that has so far been reported by me to you, I have endeavoured
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.
IN OUR HANDS IS THE GREATEST POWER OF OUR DAY - GOLD: IN TWO
DAYS WE CAN PRODUCE FROM OUR STOREHOUSES ANY QUANTITY WE MAY PLEASE.
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
even be 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 dignity and force of a man do not consist in the right for
everyone to promulgate destructive principles in the nature of
freedom of conscience, equality and the 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 honourably 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.
Our 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 nothing 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. .
