Editorial Note
Comments in the following text related specifically to ’the Jews’
which superficially seem to implicate all Jews do not reflect my own
attitude to this issue as I have already established. However, these
were the words of those individuals quoted and of the publishers who
presented the following document many decades ago, and I hesitate to
censor them.
This document is meant to challenge hatred, racism and deceit, NOT
ferment it.
In the following presentation I have combined two methods of
printing the Protocols for ease of use. I have maintained the
headings and kept the introductory commentaries as provided by
the Marsden translation of Nilus’s document. I have also used the method
of numbering the paragraphs for
ease of further referencing.

PREFACE
The author of this translation of the famous
Protocols was
himself a victim of the Revolution. He had lived for many years in
Russia and was married to a Russian lady. Among his other activities
in Russia he had been for a number of years a Russian Correspondent
of the MORNING POST, a position which he occupied when the
Revolution broke out, and his vivid descriptions of events in Russia
will still be in the recollection of many of the readers of that
Journal. Naturally he was singled out for the anger of the Soviet.
On the day that Captain Cromie was murdered by Jews, Victor Marsden
was arrested and thrown into the Peter-Paul Prison, expecting every
day to have his name called out for execution. This, however, he
escaped, and eventually he was allowed to return to England very
much of a wreck in bodily health.
However, he recovered under
treatment and the devoted care of his wife and friends. One of the
first things he undertook, as soon as he was able, was this
translation of the Protocols. Mr. Marsden was eminently well
qualified for the work. His intimate acquaintance with Russia,
Russian life and the Russian language on the one hand, and his
mastery of a terse literary English style on the other, placed him
in a position of advantage which few others could claim. The
consequence is that we have in his version an eminently readable
work, and though the subject-matter is somewhat formless, Mr. Marsden’s literary touch reveals the thread running through the twenty-four Protocols.
It may be said with truth that this work was carried out at the cost
of Mr. Marsden’s own life’s blood. He told the writer of this
Preface that he could not stand more than an hour at a time of his
work on it in the British Museum, as the diabolical spirit of the
matter which he was obliged to turn into English made him positively
ill.
Mr. Marsden’s connection with the MORNING POST was not severed by
his return to England, and he was well enough to accept the post of
special correspondent of that journal in the suite of H.R.H., the
Prince of Wales on his Empire tour. From this he returned with the
Prince, apparently in much better health, but within a few days of
his landing he was taken suddenly ill, and died after a very brief
illness.
May this work be his crowning monument! In it he has performed an
immense service to the English-speaking world, and there can be
little doubt that it will take its place in the first rank of the
English versions of "THE PROTOCOLS of the Meetings of the LEARNED
ELDERS OF ZION."

INTRODUCTION
Of the Protocols themselves little need be said in the
way of introduction. The book in which they are embodied was
published by Sergyei Nilus in Russia in 1905. A copy of this is in
the British Museum bearing the date of its reception, August 10,
1906. All copies that were known to exist in Russia were destroyed
in the Kerensky regime, and under his successors the possession of a
copy by anyone in Soviet land was a crime sufficient to ensure the
owner’s of being shot on sight. The fact is in itself sufficient
proof of the genuineness of the Protocols. The Jewish journals, of
course, say that they are a forgery, leaving it to be understood
that Professor Nilus, who embodied them in a work of his own, had
concocted them for his own purposes.
Mr. Henry Ford, in an interview published in the New York WORLD,
February 17th, 1921, put the case for Nilus tersely and convincingly
thus:
"The only statement I care to make about
the Protocols is that they
fit in with what is going on. They are sixteen years old, and they
have fitted the world situation up to this time. THEY FIT IT NOW."
Indeed they do!
The word "Protocol" signifies a précis gummed on to the front of a
document, a draft of a document, minutes of proceedings. In this
instance, "Protocol" means minutes of the proceedings of the
Meetings of the Learned Elders of Zion. These Protocols give the
substance of addresses delivered to the innermost circle of the
Rulers of Zion. They reveal the converted plan of action of the
Jewish Nation developed through the ages and edited by the Elders
themselves up to date. Parts and summaries of the plan have been
published from time to time during the centuries as the secrets of
the Elders have leaked out. The claim of the Jews that
the Protocols
are forgeries is in itself an admission of their genuineness, for
they NEVER ATTEMPT TO ANSWER THE FACTS corresponding to the THREATS
which the Protocols contain, and, indeed, the correspondence between
prophecy and fulfillment is too glaring to be set aside or obscured.
This the Jews well know and therefore evade.
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.
There has been recently published a volume of Herzl’s "Diaries," a
translation of some passages which appeared in the JEWISH CHRONICLE
of July 14, 1922. Herzl gives an account of his first visit to
England in 1895, and his conversation with Colonel Goldsmid, a Jew
brought up as a Christian, an officer in the English Army, and at
heart a Jew Nationalist all the time. Goldsmid suggested to
Herzl
that the best way of expropriating the English aristocracy, and so
destroying their power to protect the people of England against Jew
domination, was to put excessive taxes on the land. Herzl thought
this an excellent idea, and it is now to be found definitely
embodied in Protocol VI !
The above extract from Herzl’s diary is an extremely significant bit
of evidence bearing on the existence of the Jew World Plot and
authenticity of the Protocols, but any reader of intelligence will
be able, from his own knowledge of recent history and from his own
experience, to confirm the genuineness of every line of them, and it
is in the light of this living comment that all readers are invited
to study Mr. Marsden’s translation of this terribly inhuman
document.
And here is another very significant circumstance. The present
successor of Herzl, as leader of the Zionist movement, Dr. Weizmann,
quoted one of these sayings at the send-off banquet given to Chief
Rabbi Hertz on October 6, 1920. The Chief Rabbi was on the point of
leaving for HIS Empire tour with H.R.H., the Prince of Wales. And
this is the "saying" of the Sages which Dr. Weizmann quoted:
"A
beneficent protection which God has instituted in the life of the
Jew is that He has dispersed him all over the world." (JEWISH
GUARDIAN, Oct. 8, 1920.)
Now compare this with the last clause of but one of
Protocol XI.
"God has granted to us, His Chosen People, the gift of dispersion,
and from this, which appears to all eyes to be our weakness, has
come forth all our strength, which has now brought us to the
threshold of sovereignty over all the world."
The remarkable
correspondence between these passages proves several things. It
proves that the Learned Elders exist. It proves that
Dr. Weizmann
knows all about them. It proves that the desire for a "National
Home" in Palestine is only camouflage and an infinitesimal part of
the Jew’s real object. It proves that the Jews of the world have no
intention of settling in Palestine or any separate country, and that
their annual prayer that they may all meet "Next Year in Jerusalem"
is merely a piece of their characteristic make-believe. It also
demonstrates that the Jews are now a world menace, and that the
Aryan races will have to domicile them permanently out of Europe.

WHO ARE THE ELDERS?
This is a secret which has not been revealed.
They are the Hidden Hand. They are not the "Board of Deputies" (the
Jewish Parliament in England) or the "Universal Israelite Alliance"
which sits in Paris. But the late Walter Rathenau of the Allgemeiner
Electricitaets Gesellschaft has thrown a little light on the subject
and doubtless he was in possession of their names, being, in all
likelihood, one of the chief leaders himself. Writing in the WIENER FREIE PRESSE, December 24, 1912, he said:
"Three hundred men, each
of whom knows all the others, govern the fate of the European
continent, and they elect their successors from their entourage."
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.
Now that it has been brought to the light of day these secret
Protocols all men may clearly see the hidden personages specified by
Disraeli at work "behind the scenes" of all the Governments. This
revelation entails on all white peoples the grave responsibility of
examining and revising au fond their attitude towards the Race and
Nation which boasts of its survival over all Empires.
Notes
I – "Agentur" and "The Political."
There are two words in this translation which are unusual, the word
"agentur" and "political" used as a substantive,
agentur appears to
be a word adopted from the original and it means the whole body of
agents and agencies made use of by the Elders, whether members of
the tribe or their Gentile tools.
By "the Political"
Mr. Marsden means, not exactly the "body politic"
but the entire machinery of politics.
II – The Symbolic Snake of Judaism.
Protocol 3 opens with a reference to the
Symbolic Snake of Judaism.
In his Epilogue to the 1905 Edition of the Protocols,
Nilus gives
the following interesting account of this symbol:
"According to the records of
secret Jewish Zionism, Solomon and
other Jewish learned men already, in 929 B.C., thought out a scheme
in theory for a peaceful conquest of the whole universe by Zion. As
history developed, this scheme was worked out in detail and
completed by men who were subsequently initiated in this question.
These learned men decided by peaceful means to conquer the world for
Zion with the slyness of the Symbolic Snake, whose head was to
represent those who have been initiated into the plans of the Jewish
administration, and the body of the Snake to represent the Jewish
people – the administration was always kept secret, EVEN FROM THE
JEWISH NATION ITSELF.
As this Snake penetrated into the hearts of
the nations which it encountered it undermined and devoured all the
non-Jewish power of these States. It is foretold that the Snake has
still to finish its work, strictly adhering to the designed plan*,
until the course which it has to run is closed by the return of its
head to Zion and until, by this means, the Snake has completed its
round of Europe and has encircled it – and until, by dint of
enchaining Europe, it has encompassed the whole world. This it is to
accomplish by using every endeavor to subdue the other countries by
an ECONOMICAL CONQUEST.
The return of the head of the
Snake to Zion
can only be accomplished after the power of all the Sovereign of
Europe has been laid low, that is to say, when by means of economic
crises and wholesale destruction effected everywhere, there shall
have been brought about a spiritual demoralization and a moral
corruption, chiefly with the assistance of Jewish women masquerading
as French; Italians; etc.. These are the surest spreaders of
licentiousness into the lives of the leading men at the heads of
nations.
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"].
All these
States which the Snake traversed have had the foundations of their
constitutions shaken, Germany, with its apparent power, forming no
exception to the rule. In economic conditions, England and Germany
are spared, but only till the conquest of Russia is accomplished by
the Snake, on which at present [i.e., 1905] all its efforts are
concentrated.
The further course of the Snake is not shown on this
map, but arrows indicate its next movement towards Moscow, Kiev and
Odessa. It is now well known to us to what extent the latter cities
form the centuries of the militant Jewish race. Constantinople is
shown as the last stage of the Snake’s course before it reaches
Jerusalem.
(This map was drawn years before the occurrence of the
"Young Turk" – i.e., Jewish – Revolution in Turkey).
III – The term goyim
The term "Goyim," meaning Gentile or
non-Jews, is used throughout
the Protocols and is retained by Mr. Marsden.

PROTOCOL 1
THE BASIC DOCTRINE
Right lies in Might – Politics versus Morals – The End justifies the
Means – "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity"
– The New Aristocracy.
1. Putting aside fine phrases we shall speak of the significance of
each thought: by comparisons and deductions we shall throw light
upon surrounding facts.
2. What I am about to set forth, then, is our system from the two
points of view, that of ourselves and that of the goyim [i.e., non-
Jews].
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 terrorization, and not by academic
discussions. Every man aims at power, everyone would like to become
a dictator if only he could, and rare indeed are the men who would
not be willing to sacrifice the welfare of all for the sake of
securing their own welfare.
4. What has restrained the beasts of prey who are called men? What
has served for their guidance hitherto?
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.
6. Political freedom is an idea but not a fact. This idea one must
know how to apply whenever it appears necessary with this bait of an
idea to attract the masses of the people to one’s party for the
purpose of crushing another who is in authority. This task is
rendered easier if the opponent has himself been infected with the
idea of freedom, so-called liberalism, and, for the sake of an idea,
is willing to yield some of his power. It is precisely here that the
triumph of our theory appears; the slackened reins of government are
immediately, by the law of life, caught up and gathered together by
a new hand, because the blind might of the nation cannot for one
single day exist without guidance, and the new authority merely fits
into the place of the old already weakened by liberalism.
GOLD
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 irretrievably 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.
9. Should anyone of a liberal mind say that such reflections as the
above are immoral, I would put the following questions: If every
State has two foes and if in regard to the external foe it is
allowed and not considered immoral to use every manner and art of
conflict, as for example to keep the enemy in ignorance of plans of
attack and defense, to attack him by night or in superior numbers,
then in what way can the same means in regard to a worse foe, the
destroyer of the structure of society and the commonweal, be called
immoral and not permissible?
10. Is it possible for any sound logical mind to hope with any
success to guide crowds by the aid of reasonable counsels and
arguments, when any objection or contradiction, senseless though it
may be, can be made and when such objection may find more favor
with the people, whose powers of reasoning are superficial? 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. Every resolution of
a crowd depends upon a chance or packed majority, which, in its
ignorance of political secrets, puts forth some ridiculous
resolution that lays in the administration a seed of anarchy.
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.
RIGHT IS MIGHT
12. Our right lies in force. The word "right" is an abstract thought
and proved by nothing. The word means no more than: Give me what I
want in order that thereby I may have a proof that I am stronger
than you.
13. Where does right begin? Where does it end?
14. In any State in which there is a bad organization of authority,
an impersonality of laws and of the rulers who have lost their
personality amid the flood of rights ever multiplying out of
liberalism, I find a new right – to attack by the right of the
strong, and to scatter to the winds all existing forces of order and
regulation, to reconstruct all institutions and to become the
sovereign lord of those who have left to us the rights of their
power by laying them down voluntarily in their liberalism.
15. Our power in the present tottering condition of all forms of
power will be more invincible than any other, because it will remain
invisible until the moment when it has gained such strength that no
cunning can any longer undermine it.
16. Out of the temporary evil we are now compelled to commit will
emerge the good of an unshakeable rule, which will restore the
regular course of the machinery of the national life, brought to
naught by liberalism. The result justifies the means. Let us,
however, in our plans, direct our attention not so much to what is
good and moral as to what is necessary and useful.
17. Before us is a plan in which is laid down strategically the line
from which we cannot deviate without running the risk of seeing the
labour of many centuries brought to naught.
18. In order to elaborate satisfactory forms of action it is
necessary to have regard to the rascality, the slackness, the
instability of the mob, its lack of capacity to understand and
respect the conditions of its own life, or its own welfare. It must
be understood that the might of a mob is blind, senseless and
un-reasoning force ever at the mercy of a suggestion from any side.
The blind cannot lead the blind without bringing them into the
abyss; consequently, members of the mob, upstarts from the people
even though they should be as a genius for wisdom, yet having no
understanding of the political, cannot come forward as leaders of
the mob without bringing the whole nation to ruin.
19. Only one trained from childhood for independent rule can have
understanding of the words that can be made up of the political
alphabet.
20. A people left to itself, i.e., to upstarts from its midst,
brings itself to ruin by party dissensions excited by the pursuit of
power and honors and the disorders arising therefrom. Is it
possible for the masses of the people calmly and without petty
jealousies to form judgment, to deal with the affairs of the
country, which cannot be mixed up with personal interest? Can they
defend themselves from an external foe? It is unthinkable; for a
plan broken up into as many parts as there are heads in the mob,
loses all homogeneity, and thereby becomes unintelligible and
impossible of execution.
WE ARE DESPOTS
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. Without an absolute despotism there can be
no existence for civilization which is carried on not by the masses
but by their guide, whosoever that person may be. The mob is savage,
and displays its savagery at every opportunity. The moment the mob
seizes freedom in its hands it quickly turns to anarchy, which in
itself is the highest degree of savagery.
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. The peoples of the goyim are bemused
with alcoholic liquors; their youth has grown stupid on classicism
and from early immorality, into which it has been inducted by our
special agents – by tutors, lackeys, governesses in the houses of
the wealthy, by clerks and others, by our women in the places of
dissipation frequented by the goyim. In the number of these last I
count also the so-called "society ladies," voluntary followers of
the others in corruption and luxury.
23. Our countersign is –
Force and Make-believe. Only force conquers
in political affairs, especially if it be concealed in the talents
essential to statesmen. Violence must be the principle, and cunning
and make-believe the rule for governments which do not want to lay
down their crowns at the feet of agents of some new power. This evil
is the one and only means to attain the end, the good. Therefore we
must not stop at bribery, deceit and treachery when they should
serve towards the attainment of our end. In politics one must know
how to seize the property of others without hesitation if by it we
secure submission and sovereignty.
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. Just but merciless severity
is the greatest factor of strength in the State: not only for the
sake of gain but also in the name of duty, for the sake of victory,
we must keep to the programme of violence and make-believe. The
doctrine of squaring accounts is precisely as strong as the means of
which it makes use. Therefore it is not so much by the means
themselves as by the doctrine of severity that we shall triumph and
bring all governments into subjection to our super-government. It is
enough for them to know that we are too merciless for all
disobedience to cease.
WE SHALL END LIBERTY
25. Far back in ancient times we were the first to cry among the
masses of the people the words "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,"
words many times repeated since these days by stupid poll-parrots
who, from all sides around, flew down upon these baits and with them
carried away the well-being of the world, true freedom of the
individual, formerly so well guarded against the pressure of the
mob. The would-be wise men of the goyim, the intellectuals, could
not make anything out of the uttered words in their abstractedness;
did not see that in nature there is no equality, cannot be freedom:
that Nature herself has established inequality of minds, of
characters, and capacities, just as immutably as she has established
subordination to her laws: never stopped to think that the mob is a
blind thing, that upstarts elected from among it to bear rule are,
in regard to the political, the same blind men as the mob itself,
that the adept, though he be a fool, can yet rule, whereas the
non-adept, even if he were a genius, understands nothing in the
political – to all those things the goyim paid no regard; yet all
the time it was based upon these things that dynastic rule rested:
the father passed on to the son a knowledge of the course of
political affairs in such wise that none should know it but members
of the dynasty and none could betray it to the governed. As time
went on, the meaning of the dynastic transference of the true
position of affairs in the political was lost, and this aided the
success of our cause.
26. In all corners of the earth the words "Liberty, Equality,
Fraternity," brought to our ranks, thanks to our blind agents, whole
legions who bore our banners with enthusiasm. And all the time these
words were canker-worms at work boring into the well-being of the
goyim, putting an end everywhere to peace, quiet, solidarity and
destroying all the foundations of the goya States. As you will see
later, this helped us to our triumph: it gave us the possibility,
among other things, of getting into our hands the master card – the
destruction of the privileges, or in other words of 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. The qualifications for this aristocracy we have established
in wealth, which is dependent upon us, and in knowledge, for which
our learned elders provide the motive force.
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.
28. The abstraction of freedom has enabled us to persuade the mob in
all countries that their government is nothing but the steward of
the people who are the owners of the country, and that the steward
may be replaced like a worn-out glove.
29. It is this possibility of replacing the representatives of the
people which has placed at our disposal, and, as it were, given us
the power of appointment.

PROTOCOL 2
ECONOMIC WARS
Routine scientific government – Darwinism, Marxism, Nietzcheism –
Press-inculcated mentality.
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.
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. As is well
known to you, these specialists of ours have been drawing; to fit
them for rule; the information they need; from our political plans;
from the lessons of history; from observations made of the events of
every moment as it passes. The goyim are not guided by practical use
of unprejudiced historical observation, but by theoretical routine,
without any critical regard for consequent results. We need not,
therefore, take any account of them – let them amuse themselves
until the hour strikes, or live on hopes of new forms of
enterprising pastime, or on the memories of all they have enjoyed.
For them let that play the principal part which we have persuaded
them to accept as the dictates of science (theory). It is with this
object in view that we are constantly, by means of our press,
arousing a blind confidence in these theories. 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.
DESTRUCTIVE EDUCATION
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.
4. It is indispensable for us to take account of the thoughts;
characters; tendencies of the nations, in order to avoid making
slips in the political and in the direction of administrative
affairs. The triumph of our system, of which the component parts of
the machinery may be variously disposed, according to the
temperament of the peoples met on our way, will fail of success if
the practical application of it be not based upon a summing up of
the lessons of the past in the light of the present.
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 out
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.
