today heads up in a Jewish source. Did the young people of the world
devise the "sport clothes" which have had so deleterious an effect on
the youth of the times that every publicist has thought it worthy of
mention? Those styles come out of Jewish clothing concerns, where
certainly art is not the rule nor moral influence the main
consideration. The moving picture is an interesting development of
photography allied with the show business, but whose is the
responsibility for its development along such lines as make it a menace
to the minds of millions--so serious a menace that it has not escaped
observation and condemnation everywhere? Who are the masters of musical
jazz in the world? Who direct all the cheap jewelry houses, the
bridge-head show parks, the "coney islands," the centers of nervous
thrills and looseness? It is possible to take the showy young man and
woman of trivial outlook and loose sense of responsibility, and tag them
outwardly and inwardly from their clothing and ornaments to their hectic
ideas and hopes, with the same tag, "Made, introduced and exploited by a
Jew."
There is, therefore, something most sinister in the light which events
cast upon that paragraph:
"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."
"Principles and theories" do not necessarily imply lofty or even modest
intellectual qualities. The youngster who spends his noon hours and
evenings at the movies is getting his "principles and theories" just as
the more intellectual youngster from a higher grade of society who
listens to a Jewish "liberal" expound "sex liberty" and the "control of
population" is getting his. The looseness which inheres in these
"principles and theories" does not emanate from the Gentile home, or the
Gentile church, or from any line of money-making which is filled
principally with Gentiles, but from theories, movements and lines of
money-making mostly fancied by Jews. This line of accusation could be
run much deeper, but it is preferred to restrict it to what is
observable by decent eyes everywhere.
And that "the youth of the Gentiles" are the principal victims, and not
the youth of the Jews, is also observable. While a certain percentage of
Jewish youth itself is overcome by this social poison, the percentage is
almost nothing compared with the results among the youth of the
Gentiles. It is a significant fact that Jews who link this process of
enervation of Gentiles with large profits are not themselves, nor are
their sons and daughters, the victims of this enervation. Jewish youth
comes through more proudly and more cleanly than the mass of Gentile
youth.
Many a father and mother, many a sound-minded, uncorrupted young person,
and thousands of teachers and publicists have cried out against luxury.
Many a financier, observing the manner in which the people earned and
flung away their money, has warned against luxury. Many an economist,
knowing that the nonessential industries were consuming men and
materials that were necessary to the stabilizing of essential
industries; knowing that men are making knick-knacks who should be
making steel; knowing that men are engaged in making gew-gaws who should
be working on the farm; that materials are going into articles that are
made only to sell and never to use, and that materials are thus diverted
from the industries that support the people's life--every observer
knowing this crazy insistence on luxurious nonessentials has lifted up a
strong voice against it.
But, according to these Protocols, we have been starting at the wrong
end. The people, it is true, buy these senseless nonessentials which are
called luxuries. But the people do not devise them. And the people grow
tired of them one by one. But the stream of varieties continues--always
something else being thrust at the people, dangled before their eyes,
set bobbing down the avenue on enough mannikins to give the impression
that it is "style"; newspaper print and newspaper pictures; movie
pictures; stage costumes enough to force the new thing into "fashion"
with a kind of force and compulsion which no really worthy essential
thing can command.
Where does it come from? What power exists whose long experience and
deliberate intent enable it to frivolize the people's minds and tastes
and compel them to pay most of their money for it too? Why this spasm of
luxury and extravagance through which we have just passed? How did it
occur that before luxury and extravagance were apparent, all the
material to provoke and inflame them had been prepared beforehand and
shipped beforehand, ready for the stampede which also had been prepared?
If the people of the United States would stop to consider, when the
useless and expensive thing is offered them--if they would trace its
origin, trace the course of the enormous profits made out of it, trace
the whole movement to flood the market with uselessness and extravagance
and thus demoralize the Gentile public financially, intellectually, and
socially--if, in short, it could be made clear to them that Jewish
financial interests are not only pandering to the loosest elements in
human nature, but actually engaged in a calculated effort to render them
loose in the first place and keep them loose--it would do more than
anything else to stop this sixfold waste--the waste of material, the
waste of labor, the waste of Gentile money, the waste of Gentile mind,
the waste of Jewish talent, and the worse than waste of Israel's real
usefulness to the world.
We say the Gentile public is the victim of this stimulated trade in
useless luxuries. Did you ever see Jewish people so victimized? They
might wear very noticeable clothing, but its price and its quality
agree. They might wear rather large diamonds, but they are diamonds. The
Jew is not the victim of the Jew, the craze for luxuries is just like
the "coney island" crowd to him; he knows what attracts them and the
worthlessness of it.
And it is not so much the financial loss that is to be mourned, nor yet
the atrocities committed upon good taste, but the fact that the silly
Gentile crowds walk into the net willingly, even gaily, supposing the
change of the fashion to be as inevitable as the coming of spring,
supposing the new demand on their earnings to be as necessary and as
natural as taxes. The crowds think that somehow they have part in it,
when their only part is to pay, and then pay again for the new
extravagance when the present one palls. There are men in this country
who know two years ahead what the frivolities and extravagances of the
people will be, because they decree what they shall be. These things are
strictly business, demoralizing to the Gentile majority, enriching to
the Jewish minority.
Look at the Sixth Protocol for a sidelight on all this:
This is an excerpt from a longer passage dealing with the plans by which
the people's interest could be swung from political to industrial
questions, how industry could be made insecure and unfair by the
introduction of speculation into its management, and finally how against
this condition the people could be rendered restless and helpless.
Luxury was to be the instrument:
"To destroy Gentile industry, we shall, as an incentive to this
speculation, encourage among the Gentiles a strong demand for
luxuries--all enticing luxuries."
And in the First Protocol:
"Surely we cannot allow our own people to come to this. The people of
the Gentiles are stupefied with spirituous liquors * * *"
--incidentally, the profits of spirituous liquors flow in large amounts
to Jewish pockets. The history of the whiskey ring in this country will
show this. Historically, the whole prohibition movement may be described
as a contest between Gentile and Jewish capital, and in this instance,
thanks to the Gentile majority, the Gentiles won.
The amusement, gambling, jazz song, scarlet fiction, side show,
cheap-dear fashions, flashy jewelry, and every other activity that lived
by reason of an invisible pressure upon the people, and that exchanged
the most useless of commodities for the prices that would just exhaust
the people's money surplus and no more--every such activity has been
under the mastery of the Jews.
They may not be conscious of their participation in any wholesale
demoralization of the people. They may only be conscious of "easy
money." They may sometimes yield to surprise as they contrast the silly
Gentiles with their own money-wise and fabric-wise and metal-wise Jews.
But however this may be, there is the conception of a program by which a
people may be deliberately devastated materially and spiritually, and
yet kept pleasant all the time--and there also is the same program
translated into terms of daily transactions and for the most part,
perhaps altogether under control of the members of one race.

XIII.
"Jewish" Plan to Split Society by "Ideas"
The method by which the Protocols work for the breakdown of society
should now be fairly evident to readers of these articles. An
understanding of the method is necessary if one is to find the meaning
of the currents and cross-currents which make so hopeless a hodge-podge
of the present times. People who are confused and discouraged by the
various voices and discordant theories of today, each seeming to be
plausible and promising, may find a clear clue to the value of the
voices and the meaning of the theories if they understand that their
confusion and discouragement comprise the very objective which is
sought. The uncertainty, hesitation, hopelessness, fear; the eagerness
with which every promising plan and offered solution is grasped--these
are the very reactions which the program outlined in the Protocols aims
to produce. The condition is proof of the efficacy of the program.
It is a method that takes time, and the Protocols declare that it has
taken time, indeed, centuries. Students of the matter find the identical
program of the Protocols, announced and operated by the Jewish race,
from the first century onward.
It has taken 1900 years to bring Europe to its present degree of
subjugation--violent subjugation in some countries, political
subjugation in some, economic subjugation in all--but in America the
same program, with almost the same degree of success, has required about
50 years. Certain mistaken ideas of liberalism, certain flabby ideas of
tolerance, all of them originating at European sources which the
Protocolists had completely polluted, were transported to America, and
here under cover of the blindness and innocence of a false liberalism
and tolerance, together with modern appliances for the swift
acceleration of opinion, there has been worked a subjugation of our
institutions and public thought which is the amazement of European
observers. It is a fact that some of the important students of the
Jewish Question, whom Jewish publicists are pleased to damn with the
term "Anti-Semites," have been awakened to the existence of the Question
not by what they have observed in Europe, but by what they have seen in
the swift and distinct "close-up" which has been afforded in American
affairs.
The center of Jewish power, the principal sponsors of the Jewish
program, are resident in America, and the leverage which was used at the
Peace Conference to fasten Jewish power more securely upon Europe, was
American leverage exercised at the behest of the strong Jewish pressure
which was brought from the United States for that purpose. And these
activities did not end with the Peace Conference.
The whole method of the Protocols may be described in one word,
Disintegration. The undoing of what has been done, the creation of a
long and hopeless interim in which attempts at reconstruction shall be
baffled, and the gradual wearing down of public opinion and public
confidence, until those who stand outside the created chaos shall insert
their strong calm hand to seize control--that is the whole method of
procedure.
Putting together the estimate of human nature which obtains in these
Protocols, and their claims to a rather definite though as yet
incomplete fulfillment of the World Program (these two comprising the
themes of the previous two articles), some of the aspects of this
propaganda of disintegration have become clear. But not all of them.
There are yet other aspects of these methods, which will be dealt with
in the present article, and there are yet future reaches of the program
which will be considered later.
The first point of attack is Collective Opinion, that body of ideas
which through men's agreement with them, holds large groups together in
political, racial, religious, or social unity. Sometimes we call them
"standards," sometimes we call them "ideals"; whatever they may be
called, they are the invisible bonds of unity, they are the common
faith, they are the great overarching reason for group unity and
loyalty.
The Protocols assert that here the first attack has been made. The
history of Jewish propaganda in the world shows that also.
The first wave of attack is to corrupt Collective Opinion. Now, to
"corrupt" in the real sense does not mean anything unsavory or unclean.
The whole power of every heresy is its attractiveness to the good mind.
The whole explanation of the strong hold which untruth has gained upon
the world of our day, is that the untruth is reasonable, inspiring and
apparently good. It is only after a long discipline in false
ideals--which are reasonable, inspiring and good--that the evil fruits
appear in acts and conditions which are unreasonable, destructive and
wholly evil. If you will trace the idea of Liberty as it has appeared in
Russian history, from its philosophic beginning (a Jewish beginning, by
the way) to its present ending (a Jewish ending also), you will see the
process.
The Protocols claim that the Gentiles are not thinkers, that attractive
ideas have been thrown at them so strategically and persistently that
the power of thought is almost destroyed out of them. Fortunately this
is a matter on which any Gentile may apply his own test. If he will
segregate his ruling ideas, especially those that center round the
thought of "democracy," he will discover that he is being ruled in his
mind by a whole company of ideas into whose authority over him he has
not inquired at all. He is ruled by "say so" whose origin he has not
traced. And when, pursuing those ideas, he finds that they are not
practicable, he is received by the explanation that "we are not yet
sufficiently advanced." Yet when he does see men who are sufficiently
"advanced" to put these very ideas into operation, he recoils from what
he sees them do, because he knows that "advancement" such as that is
deterioration--a form of disintegration. Yet every one of the ideas were
"good," "reasonable," "inspiring," "humane," to begin with. And, if this
Gentile will observe a little further, he will see that they are the
most persistently preached ideas in the world; he will also see who the
preachers are.
The Protocols distinctly declare that it is by means of the set of
ideals which cluster around "democracy," that their first victory over
public opinion was obtained. The idea is the weapon. And to be a weapon
it must be an idea at variance with the natural trend of life. It must
indeed be a theory opposed to the facts of life. And no theory so
opposed can be expected to take root and become the ruling factor,
unless it appeals to the mind as reasonable, inspiring and good. The
Truth frequently seems unreasonable; the Truth frequently is depressing;
the Truth sometimes seems to be evil; but it has this eternal advantage,
it is the Truth, and what is built thereon neither brings nor yields to
confusion.
This first step does not give the control of public opinion, but leads
up to it. It is worthy of note that it is the sowing of "the poison of
liberalism," as the Protocols name it, which comes first in order in
those documents. Then, following upon that, the Protocols say:
"To obtain control over public opinion it is first necessary to confuse
it."
Truth is one and cannot be confused, but this false, appealing
liberalism which has been sown broadcast, and which is ripening faster
under Jewish nurture in America than ever it did in Europe, is easily
confused because it is not truth. It is error, and error has a thousand
forms. Take a nation, a party, a city, an association in which "the
poison of liberalism" has been sown, and you can split that up into as
many factions as there are individuals simply by throwing among them
certain modifications of the original idea. This is a piece of strategy
well known to the forces that invisibly control mass-thought. Theodor
Herzl, the arch-Jew, a man whose vision was wider than any statesman's
and whose program paralleled the Protocols, knew this many years ago
when he said that the Zionist (cryptic for "Jewish") state would come
before the Socialist state could come; he knew with what endless
divisions the "liberalism" which he and his predecessors had planted
would be shackled and crippled.
The process of which all Gentiles have been the victims, but never the
Jews--never the Jews!--is just this--
First, to create an ideal of "broad-mindedness." That is the phrase
which appears in every Jewish remonstrance against public mention of the
Jew and his alleged World Program: "We thought you were too broad-minded
a man to express such thoughts;" "we thought Mr. So-and-So was too
broad-minded a man to suspect the Jews of this;" "we thought the daily
or weekly or monthly such-and-such a paper was too broad-minded
editorially to consider such material." It is a sort of keyword,
indicative of the state of mind in which it is desired that the Gentles
be kept. It is a state of flabby tolerance. A state of mind which mouths
meaningless phrases about Liberty, phrases which act as an opiate on the
mind and conscience and which allow all sorts of things to be done under
cover. The phrase, the slogan, is a very dependable Jewish weapon. ("In
all times people have accepted words for acts."--Protocol 5.) The
reality behind the phrase the Protocols frankly admit to be
non-existent.
Nothing has served to create "broad-mindedness," a state of mind whose
breadth indicates its lack of depth, so much as the ideas of liberalism
which the Jews are constantly teaching to Gentiles and on which they
never themselves act. We need a new sort of allegiance to the reality of
life, to the facts as they are, which will enable us to stand up under
all cajoling to "broad-mindness" and assert a new intolerance of
everything but truth. The terms "narrow" and "broad" as they are used
today represent lies. The liberal man ought to believe more, he ought to
be deep and wide in his beliefs in order to merit that name; but as a
usual thing he believes nothing. He is not liberal at all. When you seek
belief, belief with a foundation, belief with vitality, you must seek it
among men who are sneered at, under this false Jewish-propagated notion
of liberality, as "narrow men." Jewish propaganda, in common with the
Protocols, is against men who have dug down to the rock; they want
"broad-minded men" who can easily be shifted about the surface and thus
serve the invisible scheme in any manner desired. This type of men, on
their part, never imagine but that their "broad-mindedness" is a mark of
their superiority and independence.
Now, see what follows. Men are born believers. For a time they may
believe in "broad-mindedness" and under the terrific social pressure
that has been set up in its favor they will openly espouse it. But it is
too shallow to satisfy any growing roots of life. They must believe,
deeply, something. For proof of this, notice the undeniable strength of
the negative beliefs which are held by men who fancy that they believe
nothing. Therefore, some who are highly endowed with independence of
spirit, root down into those prohibited matters which at some point
touch Jewish concerns--these are the "narrow" men. But others find it
more convenient to cultivate those departments which promise a highway
whereon there shall be no clashes of vital opinion, no chance of the
charge of "intolerance"; in short they transfer all their contemplative
powers to the active life, even as it is written in the Protocols--
"To divert Gentile thought and observation, interest must be deflected
to industry and commerce."
It is amazing to look around and see the number of men who have been
actually browbeaten into committing their whole lives to these secondary
or even tertiary things, while they look with great timidity and
aversion at the vital things which really rule the world and upon the
issue of which the world really depends.
But it is just this deflection to the materialistic base that offers the
Protocolists, and similarly Jewish propagandists, their best hold.
"Broad-mindedness" today consists in leaving vital matters severely
alone. It descends quickly to material-mindedness. Within this lower
sphere all the discord which distresses the world today is to be found.
First, there is the ruin of the upper circles of industry and commerce:
"To make it possible for liberty definitely to disintegrate and ruin
Gentile society, industry must be placed on a speculative basis."
No one needs to be told what this means. It means, as everything about
us shouts, the prostitution of service to profits and the eventual
disappearance of the profits. It means that the high art of management
degenerates into exploitation. It means reckless confusion among the
managers and dangerous unrest among the workmen.
But it means something worse; it means the splitting up of Gentile
society. Not a division between "Capital" and "Labor," but the division
between the Gentiles at both ends of the working scheme. Gentile
managers and manufacturers are not the "capitalists" of the United
States. Most of them have to go to the "capitalists" for the funds with
which they work--and the "capitalists" are Jewish, International Jews.
But with Jewish capital at one end of the Gentile working scheme putting
the screws on the manufacturers, and with Jewish agitators and
disruptionists and subversives at the other end of the Gentile working
scheme putting the screws on the workmen, we have a condition at which
the world-managers of the Protocol program must be immensely satisfied.
"We might fear the combined strength of the Gentiles of vision with the
blind strength of the masses, but we have taken all measures against
such a possible contingency by raising a wall of mutual antagonism
between these two forces. Thus, the blind force of the masses remains
our support. We, and we alone, shall serve as their leaders. Naturally,
we will direct their energy to achieve our end."--Protocol 9.
The indication that they are highly satisfied is that they are not only
not doing anything to relieve the situation, but are apparently willing
to have it made worse, and if it be at all possible for them to do so
they would like to see this coming winter, and the privations which are
scheduled for it (unless Gentile flabbiness before the Jewish power,
high and low, receives a new backbone), bring the United States to the
verge of, if not across the very line of Bolshevism. They know the whole
method of artificial scarcity and high prices. It was practiced in the
French Revolution and in Russia. All the signs of it are in this country
too.
Industrial problems for their mental food and light amusement for their
leisure hours, these are the Protocols' method with regard to the
Gentile mind, and under cover of these the work is to be done--the work
which is best expressed by the motto, "Divide and Rule."
Read this:
"To divert over-restless people from discussing political questions, we
shall now bring forward new problems apparently connected with
them--problems of industry."--Protocol 13.
