2. By means of orders issued by the president as general
statutes, decrees of the Senate, and decisions of the Council
of State, as regulations passed by the ministries.
3. And when the opportune moment arrives—in the form of a _coup
d’état_.
Having thus roughly outlined the _modus agendi_, we will now take up
in detail those measures by which we will complete the development of
the governmental mechanism in the above direction. By these measures, I
mean the freedom of the press, the right of assembly, religious freedom,
electoral rights, and many other things which must disappear from the
human repertoire, or must be fundamentally altered on the day following
the declaration of the new constitution. It is only at this moment that
it will become possible for us to announce all our decrees, for at any
time in the future every perceptible change would be dangerous, and
this for the following reasons: If these changes should be introduced
and rigidly enforced, it might cause despair by creating the fear of
further changes in a similar direction; if, however, they are made
with a tendency to subsequent leniency, then it might be said that we
have recognized our mistakes, which would undermine the faith in the
infallibility of the new authority; it might also be said that we were
frightened, and that we were forced to make concessions for which nobody
would be thankful since they would be considered as legitimately due.
Any of these impressions would be detrimental to the prestige of the new
constitution. It is necessary for us that, from the first moment of its
proclamation, when the people are still dumbfounded by the accomplished
revolution and are in a state of terror and surprise, they should realize
we are so strong, so invulnerable, and so mighty that we shall in no
case pay attention to them, and not only will we ignore their opinions
and desires, but be ready to and capable of suppressing at any moment or
place any sign of opposition with indisputable authority. We shall want
the people to realize that we have taken at once everything we wanted,
and that we shall under no circumstances share our power with them. Then
they will close their eyes to everything out of fear and will await
further developments.
The GOYS are like a flock of sheep—we are wolves.
Do you know what happens to sheep when wolves get into the fold?
They will also close their eyes to everything because we will promise to
return to them all their liberties after the enemies of peace have been
subjugated and all the parties pacified.
Is it necessary to say how long they would have to wait for the return of
their liberties?
Why have we conceived and inspired this policy for the GOYS without
giving them an opportunity to examine its inner meaning if not for the
purpose of attaining by a circuitous method what is unattainable for our
scattered race by a direct road?
This constituted a base for our organization of _secret masonry which
is not known to and whose aims are not even suspected by these cattle,
the GOYS. They have been decoyed by us into our numerous ostensible
organisations, which appear to be Masonic lodges, so as to divert the
attention of their co-religionists._
God has given us, his chosen people, the power to scatter, and what to
all appears to be our weakness, has proved to be our strength, and has
now brought us to the threshold of universal rule.
Little remains to be built on these foundations.
