PROTOCOL NO. II

It is necessary for us that wars, whenever possible, should bring

no territorial advantages; this will shift war to an economic basis

and force nations to realize the strength of our predominance; such

a situation will put both sides at the mercy of our million-eyed

international agency, which will be unhampered by any frontiers. Then

our international rights will do away with national rights, in a limited

sense, and will rule the peoples in the same way as the civil power of

each state regulates the relation of its subjects among themselves.

The administrators chosen by us from among the people in accordance

with their capacity for servility will not be experienced in the art of

government, and consequently they will easily become pawns in our game,

in the hands of our scientists and wise counselors, specialists trained

from early childhood for governing the world. As you are aware, these

specialists have obtained the knowledge necessary for government from our

political plans, from the study of history, and from the observation of

every passing event. The GOYS are not guided by the practice of impartial

historical observation, but by theoretical routine without any critical

regard for its results. Therefore, we need give them no consideration.

Until the time comes let them amuse themselves, or live in the hope of

new amusements or in the memories of those past. Let that play the most

important part for them which we have induced them to regard as the

laws of science (theory). For this purpose, by means of our press, we

increase their blind faith in these laws. Intelligent GOYS will boast of

their knowledge, and verifying it logically they will put into practice

all scientific information compiled by our agents for the purpose of

educating their minds in the direction which we require.

Do not think that our assertions are without foundation: note the

successes of Darwinism, Marxism, and Nietzscheism, engineered by us. The

demoralizing effects of these doctrines upon the minds of the GOYS should

be already obvious to us.

It is essential that we take into consideration the modern ideas,

temperaments, and tendencies of peoples in order that no mistakes in

politics and in guiding administrative affairs may be made. The triumph

of our system, parts of whose mechanism must be adapted in accordance

with the temperament of the peoples with whom we come in contact, cannot

be realized unless its practical application is based upon a résumé of

the past as related to the present.

_There is one great force in the hands of modern states which arouses

thought movements among the people. That is the press._ The rôle of the

press is to indicate necessary demands, to register complaints of the

people, and to express and foment dissatisfaction. The triumph of free

babbling is incarnated in the press; but governments were unable to

profit by this power _and it has fallen into our hands_. Through it we

have attained influence, while remaining in the background. Thanks to the

press, we have gathered gold in our hands, although we had to take it

from rivers of blood and tears.

But it cost us the sacrifice of many of our own people. Every sacrifice

on our part is worth a thousand GOYS before God.
