of the Program, is also permitting his mind to pass over the trend of
events, to see if he may detect for himself these very developments in
the life and thought of the past few years.)
"To prevent them from really thinking out anything themselves, we shall
deflect their attention to amusements, games, pastimes, excitements and
people's palaces. Such interests will distract their minds completely
from questions on which we might be obliged to struggle with them.
Becoming less and less accustomed to independent thinking, people will
express themselves in unison with us because we alone offer new lines of
thought--of course, through persons whom they do not consider as in any
way connected with us."
In this same Protocol it is plainly stated what is the purpose of the
output of "liberal" theories, of which Jewish writers, poets, rabbis,
societies and influences are the most prolific sources:
"The role of the liberal Utopians will be completely played out when our
government is recognized. Until that time they will perform good
service. For that reason we will continue to direct thought into all the
intricacies of fantastic theories, new and supposedly progressive.
Surely we have been completely successful in turning the witless heads
of the Gentiles by the word 'progress.'"
Here is the whole program of confusing, enervating, and trivializing the
mind of the world. And it would be the most outlandish thought to put
into words, were it not possible to show that this is just what has been
done, and is still being done, by agencies which are highly lauded and
easy to be identified among us.
A recent writer in a prominent magazine has pointed out what he calls
the impossibility of the Jewish ruling group being allied in one common
World Program because, as he showed, there were Jews acting as leading
minds in all the divisions of present-day opinion. There were Jews at
the head of the capitalists, Jews at the head of the labor unions, and
Jews at the head of those more radical organizations which find even the
labor unions too tame. There is a Jew at the head of the judiciary of
England and a Jew at the head of Sovietism in Russia. How can you say,
he asked, that they are united, when they represent so many points of
view?
The common unity, the possible common purpose of it all, is thus
expressed in the Ninth Protocol:
"People of all opinions and of all doctrines are at our service,
restorers of monarchy, demagogues, Socialists, communists and other
Utopians. We have put them all to work. Every one of them from his point
of view is undermining the last remnant of authority, is trying to
overthrow all existing order. All the governments have been tormented by
these actions. But we will not give them peace until they recognize our
super-government."
The function of the idea is referred to in the Tenth Protocol also:
"When we introduced the poison of liberalism into the government
organism, its entire political complexion changed."
The whole outlook of these Protocols upon the world is that the idea may
be made a most potent poison. The authors of these documents do not
believe in liberalism, they do not believe in democracy, but they lay
plans for the constant preaching of these ideas because of their power
to break up society, to divide it into groups, to destroy the power of
collective opinion through a variety of convictions. The poison of an
idea is their most relied-on weapon.
The plan of thus using ideas extends to education:
"We have misled, stupefied and demoralized the youth of the Gentiles by
means of education in principles and theories, patently false to us, but
which we have inspired."--Protocol 9.
It extends also to family life:
"Having in this way inspired everybody with the thought of his own
importance, we will break down the influence of family life among the
Gentiles, and its educational importance."--Protocol 10.
And in a passage which might well provide the material for long
examination and contemplation by the thoughtful reader, this is said:
"Until the time is ripe, let them amuse themselves * * * Let those
theories of life which we have induced them to regard as the dictates of
science play the most important role for them. To this end we shall
endeavor to inspire blind confidence in these theories by means of our
Press * * *
"Note the successes we have arranged in Darwinism, Marxism, and
Nietzscheism. The demoralizing effect of these doctrines upon the minds
of the Gentiles should be evident at least to us."--Protocol 2.
That this disintegration and division of Gentile society was proceeding
at a favorable rate when the Protocols were uttered is evident from
every line of them. For it must be remembered that the Protocols are not
bidding for support for a proposed program, but are announcing progress
on a program which has been in process of fulfillment for "centuries"
and "from ancient times." They contain a series of statements regarding
things accomplished, as well as a forelook at things yet to be
accomplished. The split of Gentile society was very satisfactorily
proceeding in 1896, or thereabouts, when these oracles were uttered.
It is to be noticed that the purpose is nowhere stated to be the
extermination of the Gentiles, but their subjugation, at first under the
invisible rule which is proposed in these documents, at length under the
rule of one whom the invisible forces would be able to put in control of
the world through political changes which would create an office of
World President or Autocrat. The Gentiles are to be subdued, first
intellectually, as here shown, and then economically. Nowhere is it
hinted that they are to be deprived of the earth, but only of their
independence of those whom the Protocols represent to be Jews.
How far the division of society had proceeded when these Protocols were
given may be gathered from the Fifth Protocol:
"A world coalition of Gentiles could cope with us temporarily, but we
are assured against this by roots of dissension among them so deep that
they cannot be torn out. We have created antagonism between the personal
and national interests of the Gentiles by arousing religious and race
hatreds which we have nourished in their hearts for twenty centuries."
As far as that concerns the dissensions of the Gentiles or Christian
world, it is absolutely true. And we have seen in our own nation how
"the antagonism between personal and national interests" have rested on
"religious and race hatreds." But whoever suspected a common source for
these? More amazing still, who would expect any man or group to avow
themselves the source? Yet it is thus written in the Protocols--"we have
created the antagonism--we thus assure ourselves against the possibility
of a Gentile coalition against us." And whether these Protocols are of
Jewish origin or not, whether they represent Jewish interests or not,
this is exactly the state of the world, of the Gentile world, today.
But a still deeper division is aimed for, and there are signs of even
this coming to pass. Indeed, in Russia it has already come to pass, the
spectacle of a Gentile lower class led by Jewish leaders against a
Gentile upper class! In the First Protocol, describing the effects of a
speculative industrial system upon the people, it is said that this sort
of economic folly--
"* * * has already created and will continue to create a society which
is disillusioned, cold and heartless. Such a society is completely
estranged from politics and religion. Lust of gold will be the only
guide of the people * * * THEN, not for the sake of good, nor even for
the sake of riches, but solely on account of their hatred of the
privileged classes, the lower classes of the Gentiles will follow us in
the struggle against our rivals for power, the Gentiles of the
intellectual classes."
"The lower classes of the Gentiles will follow us * * * against * * *
the Gentiles of the intellectual classes."
If that struggle were to occur today, the leaders of the Gentile
insurgents against Gentile society would be Jewish leaders. They are in
the leader's place now--not only in Russia, but also in the United
States.

"Jewish Protocols" Claim Partial Fulfillment
"With the present instability of all authority, our power will be more
unassailable than any other, because it will be invisible until it has
gained such strength that no cunning can undermine it."--Protocol 1.
"It is indispensable for our purposes that, as far as possible, wars
should bring no territorial advantages. This will shift war to an
economic footing . . . . Such a condition of affairs will place both
sides under the control of our international agents with their million
eyes, whose vision is unhampered by any frontiers. Then, our
international rights will eliminate national rights in the narrow
sense, and will govern the governments as they govern their
subjects."--Protocol 2.
As a mere literary curiosity, these documents which are called "The
Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" would exercise a fascination by
reason of the terrible completeness of the World Plan which they
disclose. But they discourage at every turn the view that they are
literature; they purport to be statesmanship, and they provide within
their own lines the clue by which their status may be determined.
Besides the things they look forward to doing, they announce the things
they have done and are doing. If, in looking about the world, it is
possible to see both the established conditions and the strong
tendencies to which these Protocols allude, it will not be strange if
interest in a mere literary curiosity gives way to something like
alertness, and it may be alarm.
A few general quotations will serve to illustrate the element of present
achievement in the assertions of these documents, and in order that the
point may be made clear to the reader the key words will be emphasized.
Take this from Protocol Nine:
"In reality there are no obstacles before us. Our super-government has
such an extra-legal status that it may be called by the energetic and
strong word--dictatorship. I can conscientiously say that, at the
present time, we are the lawmakers. We create courts and jurisprudence.
We rule with a strong will because we hold in our hands the remains of a
once strong party, now subjugated by us."
And this from the Eighth Protocol:
"We will surround our government with a whole world of economists. It is
for this reason that the science of economics is the chief subject of
instruction taught by the Jews. We shall be surrounded by a whole galaxy
of bankers, industrialists, capitalists, and especially by millionaires
because, actually, everything will be decided by an appeal to figures."
These are strong claims, but not too strong for the facts that can be
marshaled to illustrate them. They are, however, but an introduction to
further claims that are made and equally paralleled by the facts. All
through the Protocols, as in this quotation from the Eighth, the
pre-eminence of the Jews in the teaching of political economy is
insisted upon, and the facts bear that out. They are the chief authors
of those vagaries which lead the mob after economic impossibilities, and
they are also the chief teachers of political economy in our
universities, the chief authors of those popular textbooks in the
subject, which hold the conservative classes to the fiction that
economic theories are economic laws. The idea, the theory, as
instruments of social disintegration are common to both the university
Jew and the Bolshevik Jew. When all this is shown in detail, public
opinion upon the importance of academic and radical economics may
undergo a change.
And, as claimed in the quotation just given from the Ninth Protocol, the
Jewish world power does today constitute a super-government. It is the
Protocol's own word, and none is more fitting. No nation can get all
that it wants, but the Jewish World Power can get all that it wants,
even though its demands exceed Gentile equality. "We are the lawmakers,"
say the Protocols, and Jewish influences have been lawmakers in a
greater degree than any but the specialists realize. In the past ten
years Jewish international rule, or the power of the group of
International Jews has quite dominated the world. More than that, it has
been powerful enough to prevent the passage of salutary laws, and where
one law may have slipped through to a place on the statute books, it has
been powerful enough to get it interpreted in a sense that rendered it
useless for its purpose. This, too, can be illustrated by a large
collection of facts.
Moreover, the method by which this is done was outlined long ago in the
program of which the Protocols purport to be an outline. "We create
courts," continues the quotation, and it is followed in other Protocols
by numerous references to "our judges." There is a Jewish court sitting
in a public building in the city of New York every week, and other
courts, for the sole advantage and use of this people whose spokesmen
deny that they are a "separate people," are in formation everywhere. The
Zionist plan has already been used in some of the smaller European
countries to confer an extra-citizenship upon Jews who already enjoy
citizenship in the lands of their residence, and in addition to that a
degree of self-rule under the very governments which they demand to
protect them. Wherever Jewish tendencies are permitted to work
unhindered, the result is not "Americanization," or "Anglicization" nor
any other distinctive nationalism, but a strong and ruling reversion
back to essential "Judaization."
The "agents" referred to in the first quotation will receive attention
in another article. To resume the claims of the Protocols: This from the
Seventeenth Protocol:
"We have taken good care long ago to discredit the Gentile clergy and
thereby to destroy their mission, which at present might hamper us
considerably. Their influence over the people diminishes daily.
"Freedom of conscience has been proclaimed everywhere. Consequently it
is only a question of time when the complete crash of the Christian
religion will occur. It will be easier to handle the other religions,
but it is too early to discuss this phase of the subject."
This will be of considerable interest, perhaps, to those clergymen who
are laboring with Jewish rabbis to bring about some kind of religious
union. Such a union would of necessity dispose of Christ as a
well-meaning but wholly mistaken Jewish prophet, and thus distinctive
Christianity would cease to exist insofar as the "union" was effective.
The principal religious aversion of the Protocols, however, so far as it
is expressed, is against the Catholic church in general and the
pontifical office in particular.
A curious paragraph in this Protocol claims for the Jewish race a
particular skill in the art of insult:
"Our contemporary press will expose governmental and religious affairs
and the incapacity of the Gentiles, always using expressions so
derogatory as to approach insult, the faculty of employing which is so
well known to our race."
This from the Fifth Protocol:
"Under our influence the execution of the laws of the Gentiles is
reduced to a minimum. Respect for the law is undermined by the liberal
interpretation we have introduced in this sphere. The courts decide as
we dictate, even in the most important cases in which are involved
fundamental principles or political issues, viewing them in the light in
which we present them to the Gentile administration through agents with
whom we have apparently nothing in common, through newspaper opinion and
other avenues.
"In Gentile society where we have planted discord and protestantism * *
* *"
The word "protestantism" is evidently not used in the religious or
sectarian sense, but to denote a temper of querulous fault-finding
destructive of harmonious collective opinion.
This from the Fourteenth Protocol:
"In countries called advanced, we have created a senseless, filthy and
disgusting literature. For a short time after our entrance into power we
shall encourage its existence so that it may show in greater relief the
contrast between it and the written and spoken announcements which will
emanate from us."
Discussing in the Twelfth Protocol the control of the Press--a subject
which must be treated more extensively in another article--the claim is
made:
"We have attained this at the present time to the extent that all news
is received through several agencies in which it is centralized from all
parts of the world. These agencies will then be to all intents and
purposes our own institutions and will publish only that which we
permit."
This from the Seventh Protocol bears on the same subject:
"We must force the Gentile governments to adopt measures which will
promote our broadly conceived plan, already approaching its triumphant
goal, by bringing to bear the pressure of stimulated public opinion,
which has been organized by us with the help of the so-called 'great
power' of the press. With a few exceptions not worth considering, it is
already in our hands."
To resume the Twelfth Protocol:
"If we have already managed to dominate the mind of Gentile society to
such a point that almost all see world affairs through the colored
lenses of the spectacles which we place before their eyes, and if now
there is not one government with barriers erected against our access to
that which by Gentile stupidity is called state secrets, what then will
it be when we are the recognized masters of the world in the person of
our universal ruler?"
The Jewish nation is the only nation that possesses the secrets of all
the rest. No nation long protects a secret which directly concerns
another nation, but even so, no nation has all the secrets of all the
other nations. Yet it is not too much to say that the International Jews
have this knowledge. Much of it, of course, amounts to nothing and their
possession of it does not materially add to their power, but the fact
that they have the access, that they can get whatever they want when
they want it is the important point--as many a secret paper could
testify if it could talk, and many a custodian of secret papers could
tell if he would. The real secret diplomacy of the world is that which
hands over the world's so-called secrets to a few men who are members of
one race. The surface of diplomacy, those activities which get written
down in the memoirs of comfortably aging statesmen, those coups and
treaties which are given high-sounding fame as if they really were
important--that is incomparable with the diplomacy of Judah, and its
matchless enginery for worming out the hidden knowledge of every ruling
group. The United States is included in all these statements. Perhaps
there is no government in the world so completely at their service as
our own at present, their control having been gained during the past
five or six years.
The Protocols do not regard the dispersal of the Jews abroad upon the
face of the earth as a calamity, but as a providential arrangement by
which the World Plan can be more certainly executed, as see these words
of the Eleventh Protocol:
"God gave to us, His Chosen People, as a blessing, the dispersal, and
this which has appeared to all to be our weakness has been our whole
strength. It has now brought us to the threshold of universal rule."
The claims to accomplishment which are put forth in the Ninth Protocol
would be too massive for words were they too massive for concrete
realization, but there is a point where the word and the actuality meet
and tally.
"In order not to destroy prematurely the Gentile institutions, we have
laid our efficient hands on them, and rasped the springs of their
mechanism. They were formerly in strict and just order, but we have
replaced them with a liberal disorganized and arbitrary administration.
We have tampered with jurisprudence, the franchise, the press, freedom
of the person, and, most important of all, education and culture, the
corner stone of free existence.
"We have misled, stupefied and demoralized the youth of the Gentiles by
means of education in principles and theories patently false to us, but
which we have inspired.
"Above existing laws, without actual change but by distorting them
through contradictory interpretations, we have created something
stupendous in the way of results."
Everyone knows that, in spite of the fact that the air was never so full
of theories of liberty and wild declarations of "rights," there has been
a steady curtailment of "personal freedom." Instead of being socialized,
the people, under a cover of socialistic phrases, are being brought
under an unaccustomed bondage to the state. The Public Health is one
plea. Various forms of Public Safety are other pleas. Children are
hardly free to play nowadays except under play-masters appointed by the
State, among whom, curiously enough, an astonishing proportion of Jews
manage to find a place. The streets are no longer as free as they were;
laws of every kind are hedging upon the harmless liberties of the
people. A steady tendency toward systemization, every phase of the
tendency based upon some very learnedly stated "principle," has set in,
and curiously enough, when the investigator pursues his way to the
authoritative center of these movements for the regulation of people's
life, he finds Jews in power. Children are being lured away from the
"social center" of the home for other "centers"; they are being led away
(and we are speaking of Gentile children--no Gentiles are ever allowed
to regulate the lives of Jewish children) from their natural leaders in
home, church and school, to institutionalized "centers" and scientific
"play spots," under "trained leaders" whose whole effect, consciously or
unconsciously, is to lead the modern child to look to the State, instead
of its natural environment, for leadership. All this focuses up to the
World Plan for the subjugation of the Gentiles, and if it is not the
Jewish World Plan it would be interesting to know why the material for
it is so largely Gentile children and the leaders of it so often of the
Jewish race.
Jewish liberties are the best safeguarded in the United States. Gentiles
take their chance with public matters, but every Jewish community is
surrounded by special protectors who gain special recognition by various
devices--political and business threats not the least of them. No public
spirited Gentiles are welcomed to the task of regulating the lives of
Jewish children. The Jewish community in every city is all-sufficient in
itself as far as such activities go. The most secret of all parochial
schools are the Jewish schools, whose very locations are not all known
to the officials of large cities. The Jew is almost anxious in his
efforts to mold the Gentile mind; he insists on being permitted to tell
the Gentile what to think, especially about the Jew; he is not averse to
influencing general Gentile thought in a manner which, though it come
about by wide circles, works ultimately into the Jewish scheme of
things. The anxiety and the insistence, so well known to all who have
observed them, are only reflections of the Jew's conviction that his is
the superior race and is capable of directing the inferior race--of
which there is but one, including the whole non-Jewish world.
