tactics of semi-swindling tricks; where looseness reigns; where morality is maintained by
penal measures and harsh laws but not by voluntarily accepted principles; where the
feelings towards faith and country are obliterated by cosmopolitan convictions? What form
of rule is to be given to these communities if not that despotism which I shall describe to you
later?
We shall create an intensified centralization of government in order to grip in our
hands all the forces of the community.
We shall regulate mechanically all the actions of the
political life of our subjects by new laws. These laws will withdraw one by one all the
indulgences and liberties which have been permitted by the goyim, and our kingdom will be
distinguished by a despotism of such magnificent proportions as to be at any moment and in
every place in a position to wipe out any goyim who oppose us by deed or word.
We shall be told that such a despotism as I speak of it is not consistent with the progress of
these days, but I will prove to you that it is.
In these times when the peoples looked upon kings on their thrones as on a pure
manifestation of the will of God, they submitted without a murmur to the despotic power of
kings, but from the day when we insinuated into their minds the conception of their own
rights they began to regard the occupants of thrones as mere ordinary mortals. The holy
unction of the Lords Anointed has fallen from the heads of kings in the eyes of the people,
and when we also robbed them of their faith in God the might of power was flung upon the
streets into the place of public proprietorship and was seized by us.
Moreover, the art of directing masses and individuals by means of cleverly manipulated
theory and verbiage, by regulations of life in common and all sorts of other quirks, in all
which the goyim understand nothing, belongs likewise to the specialists of our administrative
brain. Reared on analysis, observation, on delicacies of fine calculation, in this species of
skill we have no rivals, any more than we have either in the drawing up of plans of political
actions and solidarity. In this respect the Jesuits alone might have compared with us, but
we have contrived to discredit them in the eyes of the unthinking mob as an overt
organization, while we ourselves all the while have kept our secret organization in the
shade. However, it is probably all the same to the world who is its sovereign lord, whether
the head of Catholicism or our despot of the blood of Zion! But to us, the Chosen People, it
is very far from being a matter of indifference.
For a time perhaps we might be successfully dealt with by a coalition of the GOYIM of all the
world, but from this danger we are secured by the discord existing among them whose roots
are so deeply seated that they can never now be plucked up.
We have set one against
another the personal and national reckonings of the goyim, religious and race hatreds,
which we have fostered into a huge
growth in the course of the past twenty centuries.
This
is the reason why there is not one State which would anywhere receive support if it were to
raise its arm, for every one of them must bear in mind that any agreement against us would
be unprofitable to itself. We are too strong there is no ending to our power.
The nations
cannot come to even an inconsiderable private agreement without our secretly having a
hand in it.
Per Me reges regnant. It is through Me that Kings reign. And it was said by the prophets
that we were chosen by God Himself to rule over the whole earth.
God has endowed us
with genius that we may be equal to our task.
Were genius in the opposite camp it would
still struggle against us, but even so a newcomer is no match of the old-established settler;
the struggle would be merciless between us, such a fight as the world has never yet seen.
Aye, and the genius on their side would have arrived too late. All the wheels of the
machinery of all States go by the force of the engine, which is in our hands, and that engine
of the machinery of State is Gold.
The science of political economy invented by our
learned elders has for long past been giving royal prestige to capital.
Capital, if it is to co-operate untrammeled, must be free to establish a monopoly of industry
and trade; this is already being put in execution by an unseen hand in all quarters of the
