The aristocracy of the goyim as a political force, is dead – we need not take it into account;
but as landed proprietors they can still be harmful to us from the fact that they are self-
sufficing in the resources upon which they live. It is essential therefore for us at whatever
cost to deprive them of their land.
This object will be best attained by increasing the
burdens upon landed property – in loading lands with debts.
These measures will check
land-holding and keep it in a state of humble and unconditional submission.
The aristocrats of the goyim, being hereditarily incapable of contenting themselves with little,
will rapidly burn up and fizzle out.
At the same time we must intensively patronize trade and industry, but, first and foremost,
speculation, the part played by which is to provide a counterpoise to industry; in absence of
speculative industry will multiply capital in private hands and will serve to restore agriculture
by freeing the land from indebtedness to the land banks.
What we want is that industry
would drain off from the land both labor and capital and by means of speculation transfer
into our hands all the money of the world, and thereby throw all the goyim into the ranks of
the proletariat.
Then the goyim will bow down before us, if for no other reason but to get the
right to exist.
To complete the ruin of the industry of the goyim we shall bring to the assistance of
speculation the luxury which we have developed among the goyim, that greedy demand for
luxury which is swallowing up everything.
We shall raise the rate of wages which, however,
will not bring any advantage to the workers, for, at the same time, we shall produce a rise in
prices of the first necessaries of life, alleging that it arises from the decline of agriculture and
cattle-breeding.
We shall further undermine artfully and deeply sources of production, by
accustoming the workers to anarchy and to drunkenness and side by side therewith taking
all measure to extirpate from the face of the earth all the educated forces of the goyim.
In order that the true meaning of things may not strike the goyim before the proper time we
shall mask it under an alleged ardent desire to serve the working classes and the great
principles of political economy about which our economic theories are carrying on an
energetic propaganda.
PROTOCOL NO.7
The intensification of armaments, the increase of police forces – are all essential for the
completion of the aforementioned plans.
What we have to get at is that there should be in
all the States of the world, besides ourselves, only the masses of the proletariat, a few
millionaires devoted to our interests, police and soldiers.
Throughout all Europe, and by means of relations with Europe, in other continents also, we
must create ferments, discords and hostility. Therein we gain a double advantage.
In the
first place we keep in check all countries, for they will know that we have the power
whenever we like to create disorders or to restore order.
All these countries are accustomed
to see in us an indispensable force of coercion.
In the second place, by our intrigues we
shall tangle up all the threads which we have stretched into the cabinets of all States by
means of politics, by economic treaties, or loan obligation. In order to succeed in this we
must use great cunning and penetration during negotiations and agreements, but, as
regards what is called the “official language”, we shall keep to the opposite tactics and
assume the mask of honesty and compliancy. In this way the peoples and governments of
the goyim, whom we have taught to look only at the outside of whatever we present to their
notice, will still continue to accept us as the benefactors and saviors of the human race.
We must be in a position to respond to every act of opposition by war with the neighbors of
that country which dares to oppose us; but if these neighbors should also venture to stand
collectively together against us, then we must off resistance by a universal war.
