PROTOCOL 15
RUTHLESS SUPPRESSION
Simultaneous world revolution Purpose and direction of masonry
The Chosen People Dogmatic right of the strong
The King of
Israel
1. When we at last definitely come into our kingdom by the aid of
coups detat prepared everywhere for one and the same day, after
being 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 centre 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 also 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
serious 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 international 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 which 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 high conceit of
themselves to which it gives birth, for that insensibly disposes
them to assimilate 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 disregard 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 behoves 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
victims 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
unquestioning 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 (Isaiah 42:16-25) 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
example: 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
penalties for lapse and not for display of the spiritual qualities
of the judge....Such qualities it is proper to show in private life,
but not in a public square which is the educational 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, of
judges set up by us, that is not right. If, however, anything like
this should occur, we shall ourselves cassate (quash) 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 the 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 devotion 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.

PROTOCOL 16
BRAINWASHING
Emasculation of the Universities Abolition of freedom of
instruction
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 programmes 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
on 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 will always 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
foreign to them, the untalented who thus rob of their places those
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.

PROTOCOL 17
ABUSE OF AUTHORITY
The demoralization of Justice Wrecking of the Christian religion
Jewish Patriarch Pope of the universe Secret police employing
public informers
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 will 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 advocates 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
patriarch of the international Church.
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
criticize 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 so that there may
be no 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
denounce 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 service 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
our 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.
[Return to top]
PROTOCOL 18
ARREST OF OPPONENTS
Measures of secret defense Undermining authority
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 perquisitions (diligent searches) 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 acknowledge their weakness in advertising overt measures of
secret defense and thereby we shall bring the promise of authority
to destruction.
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 this 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 suspicion: 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.

PROTOCOL 19
RULERS AND PEOPLE
Making use of public petitions debasing heroism Martyrdom of
sedition-mongers
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 wisely
rebutting them to prove the short-sightedness 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
