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
will 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.
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
the world grows agitated the meaning of that will be that we have had to stir it 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 where as 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…
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 thought 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.
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 underdeveloped in
comparison with our mind?
This it is, mainly, which guarantees our success.
And how far-seeing were our learned elders in ancient times when they said that to attain a
serious end it behooves 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 for many of our own, but for that we have now already given them such a
position on earth as they could not even have dreamed of. The comparatively small
