PROTOCOL NO. VIII

We must provide ourselves with the same arms our enemies can employ

against us. We must seek the most subtle expressions and evasions of

the legal dictionary to justify those cases in which we will be forced

to announce decisions which may seem unnecessarily bold and unjust, for

it is important that these decisions should be expressed in terms so

forcible that they will appear as the highest moral rules of a legal

character.

Our government must be surrounded by all the forces of civilization, in

the midst of which it will have to function. It will surround itself with

publicists, experienced lawyers, administrators, diplomats, and, finally,

people educated along special lines in our special advanced schools.

These people will know all the secrets of social existence; they will

know all languages composed of political letters and words; they

will be familiar with the reverse side of human nature, with all its

sensitive chords, upon which they must know how to play. These chords

are the structure of the intellects of the GOYS, their tendencies, their

failings, their vices, and their virtues, the peculiarities of classes

and castes. It is evident that the highly talented members of our

government, to which I refer, will be recruited not from the ranks of

the GOYS, accustomed to performing their administrative duties without

questioning their aim, and without thinking why they are necessary. The

GOY administrators sign papers without reading them and work for profit

or for pride.

We will surround our government by a whole world of economists. It is for

this reason that economics is the chief science taught to the Jews. We

will be surrounded by a crowd of bankers, traders, capitalists, _and most

important of all, by millionaires, because in essence everything will be

decided by a question of figures_.

Meanwhile, as it is not yet safe to give the responsible government

posts to our brother Jews, we will give them to people whose record and

whose character are such that there is an abyss between them and the

people; also to people for whom, in case of disobedience to our orders,

there will remain nothing but condemnation or exile—thus forcing them to

protect our interests to their last breath.
