Our philosophers will discuss all the shortcomings of the various beliefs of the goyim, BUT
NO ONE WILL EVER BRING UNDER DISCUSSION OUR FAITH FROM ITS TRUE POINT
OF VIEW SINCE THIS WILL BE FULLY LEARNED BY NONE SAVE OURS WHO WILL
NEVER DARE TO BETRAY ITS SECRETS.
In countries known as progressive and enlightened we have created a senseless, filthy,
abominable literature. For some time after our entrance to power we shall continue to
encourage its existence in order to provide a telling relief by contrast to the speeches, party
program, which will be distributed from exalted quarters of ours… Our wise men, trained to
become leaders of the goyim, will compose speeches, projects, memoirs, articles, which will
be used by us to influence the minds of the goyim, directing them towards such
understanding and forms of knowledge as have been determined by us.
PROTOCOL NO. 15
When we at last definitely come into our kingdom by the aid of coups detat prepared
’etat prepared
everywhere for one and the same day, after the worthlessness of all existing forms of
government has been 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 center of our rule.
Resolutions of our government will be final, without appeal.
In the goy societies, in which we have planted and deeply rooted discord and protestantism,
the only 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 its obligations.
The principal guarantee of stability of rule is to confirm the
aureole of power, and this aureole is attained only by such as 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 (Some versions of the
“Protocols” followed Joly’s “Dialogues” so closely that Joly’s mistaken spelling of Sulla’s
name as “Sylla was also copied. In the translation of the “Protocols” here used, however,
the mistake was rectified.), who had poured forth that blood. Sulla enjoyed an apotheosis
for his might in the eyes of the people, though they had been torn in pieces by 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.
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 in these lodges we
shall find our principle 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
