the Judaic state, but it represents the Gentile state seized by Jewish
forces. There are three degrees of action set forth in the Protocols.
There is first the secret process of breaking up the integrity of
society by the admixture of alluring but disruptive ideas. This is a
work in which Gentile agitators are used. When the ideas have worked
sufficiently to break up society and explode in a crisis, then as in
Germany, the forces that have worked in secret swiftly come to the front
to take the reins and guide the riot. In Germany this immediately
occurred upon the collapse which followed the armistice, but the Germans
were wise enough to know the meaning of the influx of Jews into all the
official positions of the former empire, and it was not long before they
were politically ousted. In Russia, however, the Jews sprang immediately
into official positions and have succeeded in remaining there. It began
with Kerensky compelling the Czar to lay aside his crown; it continues
with Trotsky and his armies at the throat of Europe.
But this seizure of a country, as was attempted in Germany, and as was
not only attempted but succeeded in Russia, is not the end of the
Program. It is only the beginning of its open or public phase. The
Soviet-Kahal makes for the complete breaking up of society, the entire
cutting off of co-operation and communication, the ruling of each little
section in the way desired, until the whole country lies helpless in
isolated bits. The process includes, of course, the disintegration of
industry also, the massing of Gentiles into an army, and a general
destruction of morality and order. It is the Protocol program in its
last stage before the reconstruction begins which shall make the
conquered country a Jewish state.
The world has not seen that last stage yet. It has not come, even in
Russia. If the Russian people waken from the daze into which they have
been thrust, it will not come. Jewish voices loudly proclaim that Soviet
Russia has come to stay. The only authoritative voice on that subject is
the voice of Russia, and Russia has not yet spoken. Today the world is
trembling on the very verge of Real Russia's awakening, and with it a
retribution most terrible upon the Sovietists.
The program of the Protocols once came near succeeding in the French
Revolution, but its essential immorality overreached itself. It has come
a step nearer success in Russia, but there too its defiance of the moral
law will be its undoing. The Jewish Question of today is being fought
out in Russia and Poland, and the strength of the Jewish forces is
largely and mostly supplied from the United States of America. No wonder
those small East European independencies which are fighting for their
lives refer to our country as "The Land of the Jews."
"We will show our power to one," say the Protocols. "In order to
demonstrate our enslavement of the Gentile governments of Europe, we
shall show our power to one of them by crimes of violence, that is, by a
reign of terror." (Protocol Seven.)
One by one the Gentile nations of Europe have been compelled to withdraw
their troops from Russia. One by one the premiers of Europe have
submitted to heavy shackling of their official hands with regard to the
Russian question. And today the world looks on while little Poland,
apparently the second country on the list of Soviet victims, is made to
feel heavy vengeance for her daring to be independent of Jewish power.
Russia has been made to pay for her attempted independence of the Jew;
Poland is now being made to pay. It is a flame, the Jews of Eastern
Europe hope, and many Jews of America also, which will sweep round the
world.
If the ruling Jews of the world wished the Russian people freed, if they
wished the flames of Bolshevism to be quenched, if they wished Jewish
participation in revolutionary movements to be withdrawn, they could
accomplish it in a week. What is going on today is going on by
permission of the Jewish world powers.
There is apparently no desire to curtail a movement which largely
originated in American Jewry. This is the program of "showing our power
to one," and the program will be followed out. The "showing," however,
is twofold; it is a showing of power, but it is also a showing of the
people who wield the power, and in the end it might have been just as
well had the power never been coveted, attained, or used.
Anyone who desires to test the exactitude of the Protocols' estimate of
human nature may do so by observing his own reactions to the Russian
Bolshevist situation. It is undeniable that there exists among all
classes of Gentiles in America a kind of admiration for the coup which
Lenin and Trotsky have managed on such a massive scale. The audacity of
it, the ability to stay afloat thus long in defiance of so many laws,
have conspired to draw out unwilling applause.
Consider then this passage from the Tenth Protocol:
"The people feel an especial love and respect toward the genius who
wields political power, and they say of all his high-handed actions: 'It
is base, but clever! It is a trick, but how he played it! So majestic!
So impudent!'
"We count on attracting all nations to the constructive work of laying
the foundations for the structure planned by us. It is necessary for us
first of all to acquire the services of bold and fearless agents, who
will overcome all obstacles in our pathway.
"When we accomplish our governmental coup d'etat, we will say to the
people: 'Everything has gone badly, all have suffered. We will eliminate
the cause of your sufferings--nationality, frontiers and diversity of
coinage. Of course you are free to pronounce sentence upon us, but that
can scarcely be just if you do so before giving a trial to that which we
offer you.'"
This is very well conceived, and this is the way in which, up to this
time, it has worked out. But there will be a strong reaction set in.
False promises like chickens come home to roost. The real originators,
the real purpose of the movement hidden behind Bolshevism will become
evident. And then the world will crush out again the World Program which
at times has seemed so near success.
There will probably be more light upon this World Program as a result of
the Russian Kahal-Soviet system than from any other attempt to realize
it. For five generations the world has lived in a false light supposed
to be shed by the French Revolution. It is now known that that
revolution was not the Revolution of the French People, but the
disorders of a minority who sought to impose upon the French People the
very Plan which is now being considered. It was the French People who
ultimately put down the so-called French Revolution. And France, as a
result of that upheaval of a well-organized minority, has been bound by
Jewish control ever since.
The Russian Revolution will go down in history with no such false halo
of romance around it. The world now knows it for what it is. The world
will soon know whose was the money and whose were the brains that
fostered it, and from what part of the world the principal impetus came.
The Russian upheaval is racial, not political nor economic. It conceals
beneath all its false socialism and its empty mouthings of "human
brotherhood" a clear-cut plan of racial imperialism, which is not
Russian, and which the common sense and interest of the world will
speedily stamp out.

How the "Jewish Question" Touches the Farm
The real estate speculations of the Jews are familiar to all, but
unfortunately do not constitute their entire land program. Many American
cities have changed their characters entirely during the past 15 years
by reason of Jewish speculation in residence property, and it is a fact
established in the larger eastern cities that the recent exorbitant and
extortionate rise in rents was largely a matter of the Jewish landlord.
The governor of one of the most important of our commonwealths was loath
to sign a bill regulating rents. His hesitancy was encouraged by very
heavy pressure brought to bear upon him by the weightiest Jewish
financial interests in his own and neighboring states. He finally
decided that he would sign the bill and give the law effect, and the
fact that decided him was his personal investigation and the
investigation of his personal agents into hundreds of cases of abuse
where he discovered that it was a common practice among Jewish landlords
to transfer the same piece of property round and round to every member
of the family in turn, each "transfer" being the excuse for a new
increase in the rent. Men have their eyes opened to the Jewish Question
in various ways: this was the way a governor had his eyes opened.
That, however, is not the peculiarity of Jewish landlords alone; Gentile
landlords have played the same trick. But landlordism is peculiarly a
Jewish ambition and distinction; the Jew is the Landlord of America. Any
group of tenants almost anywhere in America, except the West, could
testify to this.
Nor is landlordism itself reprehensible, things being what they are,
unless it is anti-social and anti-American. And just here is where it
gets point. Some of the oldest and most sacred shrines of Americanism in
the East have entirely lost their character as such by the invasion--not
of "foreigners"--but of Jews.
The more one sees of the invasion, the more one utterly distrusts the
statistics given out by Jews as to the Jewish population of the United
States.
Do you know that the one nationality on which the Government of the
United States is estopped from asking questions, either for immigration
or census statistics, is the Jewish?
Do you know that when the Government of the United States wants to know
anything about the Jews it must go to statisticians which the Jews
themselves support?
If a nation claims that it is no nation with respect to the United
States Government, as the Jews claim, and has no national statistics
which it will permit to government to collect in the official way, why
should it treat itself as a nation and keep its own records?
The Jews of the United States, like the Jews of every European country,
are a nation among themselves, with their own government, their own
policy, their own records; and the United States Government does
business with the Jewish Government in America through chosen Jews--no
doubt of that.
It is, however, a digression. The matter of Jewish statistics will come
up again. In the meantime a glance at the rapid changing of so many
American cities in all parts of the land leads to the belief that the
Jewish statistics furnished by the Jews for Gentile consumption entirely
misstate the facts, and this belief is strengthened by the knowledge
that the statistics given by the Jews for Jewish consumption are very
different from those supplied for the outside world.
Landlordism may be explained by the inclination of the Jew toward
speculation, and we know that real estate has been made one of the most
speculative of occupations, disgracefully, almost disastrously so. The
Jew cannot be condemned for becoming a landlord, for becoming the most
conspicuous landlord in America; he cannot be condemned apart from his
Gentile co-offenders for the abuse he has made of his advantage as
landlord. But it is a matter for American concern that the cities to
which, in the schoolbooks, our children are taught to look as the
birthplaces of liberty and as still the spokesmen of Americanism, should
become Semite cities, financially and politically, and the recruiting
grounds of the world's Bolshevism.
Until recently, however, the Jew in America has not cared for the land.
It is a characteristic. The Jew is not an agriculturist. Lavish fortunes
have been expended to make him so, but the productive work of farming
has not had, and does not now have, any appeal to him. His choice in
land is this: land that produces gold from the mine, and land that
produces rents. Land that produces mere potatoes and wheat has not
directly interested him.
It is true, of course, that the land question has been distinctly Jewish
in countries like Poland and Rumania. No law against Jews owning land in
those countries has ever been effective in preventing their control of
whole provinces. Not that the Jews demanded the right to farm the land,
their choice was to farm the farmers. By devious methods and the use of
"Gentile fronts" they could always secure control of the land, and thus
dominating the peasants they could create almost any condition they
wished. That is what they actually did. That is the Jewish Question in
those parts of the world. Not for farming purposes, it must be
understood, but for the purpose of controlling the main source of wealth
in agricultural countries and for taking the control of people away from
their natural Gentile leaders.
These two things always go together in countries where there is
intellectual or landed aristocracy to which the people look for
leadership: the Jewish program is to destroy that leadership by gaining
control of the land. It is profitable, of course, but when you survey
the outworking of the plan you always see something other than profits
involved. The consummate perfection of the Jewish plan for World Control
is that it does not involve sacrifice as have other plans, it is
immensely profitable at every stage, and the greater the profitableness
the more surely the purpose is being achieved.
In America there was no aristocracy to be cut under by the gaining of
land control. Jewish activity in the United States until recently has
confined itself to the control of land products after they have been
produced: that is, so to say, Jewish interests do not engage in
trapping, but they control the fur trade.
Speaking of furs, it is very funny to see how some affairs turn out.
During the war there was a great to-do made about the German control of
the American fur trade. It was true that the fur trade was controlled
from Germany, but not by Germans--by Jews! And then a great to-do was
made about seizing, confiscating and absolutely selling out that
"German" fur business to Americans, and the "Americans" who bought it
were--Jews! The actual control has never changed; the profits still find
their way to the "International" purse.
But furs is just an example. Jewish interests do not engage in raising
grain, but control the grain that others produce. The need of the United
States is a "Who's Who of Jewish Financiers" that the people may
identify the men about whom they read as having made this "corner" or
sprung that "coup." These interests, which have simply grabbed
American-produced wealth and made American consumers pay and pay and
pay, have been able to operate almost openly because of the sheer
blindness of the American people as they read their newspapers. And, of
course, while the American newspaper will gladly inform you that this
man is an Italian and that man a Pole and the other man a Briton, it
will never tell you that the fourth man is a Jew. There is a Jewish
organization in every city, large and small, to prevent it--and they
prevent it by methods that are violent and wholly subversive of the
American ideal of liberty.
So, until recently, the plan in the United States has been to seize the
commodity at just that point in its passage from the producer to the
consumer where the heaviest weight of profit can be extracted from
it--at the neck of the bottle, so to speak--and control it there. It is
not service that the people pay for; they pay for seizure.
But a new movement has begun in the United States. Jewish millions are
now being used to secure immense tracts of American lands. Formerly it
was enough to control the cotton, as the bread was controlled, but now
the movement is toward controlling the cotton lands. The operations are
carefully guarded; "Gentile fronts" are used almost exclusively; but
follow the trail through all the "blinds" and "false scents," and you
come at last to the International Jew, whose throne is set up in London.
Many Jews have written THE DEARBORN INDEPENDENT saying that they do not
know about these racial plans for world control. It may well be believed
that they do not. One purpose of these articles is to tell them about
it. But this every Jew rejoices in--the movement of his people toward
power. And it is this sentiment that the International Jew implicitly
trusts, and because this sentiment exists the International Program
secures a maximum of success at a minimum risk of exposure. Jewry is not
a democracy but an autocracy. Of course the ordinary Jew does not know!
The question is, Why should he revile the Gentile who tries to tell him?
If a Jew will not seal his mind against the statements made in these
articles, he will find in his own knowledge sufficient corroboration of
their principal features, and he will be in a better position to assist
in the solution of the Jewish Question.
It is with amazement at certain men's conception of editorial honesty
that THE DEARBORN INDEPENDENT has read some of the reports made of these
articles. Under cover, principally of the Yiddish, alleged translations
of these articles have been flung broadcast among non-English speaking
Jews, translations which not only bear no resemblance to the original,
but actually insert whole paragraphs of matter which never appeared in
the original at all. Is there a fear of permitting the average Jew to
read this series? Nothing is more desired by those whose purpose is to
lay foundations for the solution of the Jewish Question in America than
that every Jew in the United States should know exactly what is being
printed here week by week. The Jew has been deceived by his leaders long
enough.
The fact is, then, that there is a definite and already well forwarded
movement toward the control of the cotton lands of the United States.
The first step was to depreciate the market value of these lands as much
as possible. Pressure was brought through certain banks to limit the
cotton farmers' efforts. They were told that if they planted more
acreage to cotton than they were told to, they would not be financed.
Cotton production was to go down while cotton prices were to go up, and
the profits were not the farmers' but those who controlled the course of
cotton from the first market to the wearer. Cotton farming was to be
made less profitable, while cotton speculation was to become more
profitable. The public was being compelled to supply the money by which
the Jewish controllers were to buy the land. In brief, it was to be made
more profitable to sell cotton lands than to sell cotton.
These statements are being deliberately restricted to the traffic in
cotton lands. Jewish financiers in New York and London know these
things, even if Jewish editors and rabbis do not.
This movement has been within the knowledge of certain classes of
business men for a long time, indeed some have been forced by what used
to be called "the pressure of circumstances," to serve the movement. But
they were not able to interpret its meaning. It is only recently that
the more important Gentile business men of the United States have been
able to interpret certain things. The war was a potent eye-opener.
Those wonderful documents known as the "Protocols," with their strong
grasp of every element of life, have not overlooked Land. The Land
Program found in the Sixth Protocol, which is one of the briefest of
these documents and may be quoted in full to show now the relation it
bears to certain excerpts made in previous articles:
Protocol VI.
"We shall soon begin to establish huge monopolies, colossal reservoirs
of wealth, upon which even the big Gentile properties will be dependent
to such an extent that they will all fall together with the government
credit on the day following the political catastrophe. The economists
here present must carefully weigh the significance of this combination.
We must develop by every means the importance of our super-government,
representing it as the protector and benefactor of all who voluntarily
submit to us.
"The aristocracy of the Gentiles as a political force has passed away.
We need not take them into consideration. But, as owners of the land,
they are harmful to us in that they are independent in their sources of
livelihood. Therefore, at all costs, we must deprive them of their land.
"The best means to attain this is to increase the taxes and mortgage
indebtedness. These measures will keep land ownership in a state of
unconditional subordination. Unable to satisfy their needs by small
inheritances, the aristocrats among the Gentiles will burn themselves
out rapidly.
"At the same time it is necessary to encourage trade and industry
vigorously and especially speculation, the function of which is to act
as a counterpoise to industry. Without speculation, industry will cause
private capital to increase and tend to improve the condition of
Agriculture BY FREEING THE LAND FROM INDEBTEDNESS FOR LOANS by the land
banks. It is necessary for industry to deplete the land both of laborers
and capital, and, through speculations, transfer all the money of the
world into our hands, thereby throwing the Gentiles into the ranks of
the proletariat. The Gentiles will then bow before us to obtain the
right to existence.
"To destroy Gentile industry, we shall, as an incentive to this
speculation, encourage among the Gentiles a strong demand for luxuries,
all-enticing luxuries.
"We will force up wages, which however, will be of no benefit to
workers, for we will at the same time cause a rise in the prices of
prime necessities, pretending that this is due to the decline of
agriculture and of cattle raising. We will also artfully and deeply
undermine the sources of production by instilling in the workmen ideas
of anarchy, and encourage them in the use of alcohol, at the same time
taking measures to drive all the intellectual forces of the Gentiles
from the land.
"That the true situation shall not be noticed by the Gentiles
prematurely, we will mask it by a pretended effort to serve the working
classes and promote great economic principles, for which an active
propaganda will be carried on through our economic theories."
The local and passing element in this is "the aristocracy of the
Gentiles." That is to say, the program is not entirely fulfilled by the
passing of aristocrats. Jewry goes on just the same. Its program
stretches far. Jewry will retain such kings as it desires as long as it
desires them. Probably the last throne to be vacated will be the British
throne because what to the British mind is the honor of being Jewry's
protector and therefore the inheritor of the blessing which that
attitude brings, is to the Jewish mind the good fortune of being able to
use a world-wide empire for the furtherance of Jewry's purpose. Each has
served the other and the partnership will probably last until Jewry gets
ready to throw Britain over, which Jewry can do at almost any time.
There are indications that it has already started in this last task.
But the permanent elements in the Protocol are the Land, the Jews, and
the Gentiles. A word of explanation may be necessary on this inclusion
of the Gentiles as permanent: the Protocols do not contemplate the
extermination of the Gentiles, nor the making of this world a completely
Jewish populated world. The Protocols contemplate a Gentile world ruled
by the Jews--the Jews as masters, the Gentiles as hewers of wood and
drawers of water, a policy which every Old Testament reader knows to be
typically Jewish and the source of divine judgement upon Israel time and
again.
Now, look at this whole Program as it concerns the Land.
"Owners of the land * * * are harmful to us in that they are independent
in their sources of livelihood."
That is a foundation principle of the Protocols. It matters not whether
the owners are the "Gentile aristocracy," the peasants of Poland, or the
farmers of the United States--land ownership makes the owners,
"independent in their sources of livelihood." And any form of
independence is fatal to the success of the World Program which is
written so comprehensively in the Protocols and which is advancing so
comprehensively under Jewish guidance in the world of actual affairs
today.
Not "tillers" of the land, not "dwellers" on the land, not "tenants,"
not an "agricultural peasantry," but "owners of the land"--this is the
class singled out for attention in this Sixth Protocol, BECAUSE they are
"independent in their sources of livelihood."
Now, there has been no time in the history of the United States when
apparently it was more easy for the farmer to own his land than now.
Mortgages should be a thing of the past. Everywhere the propaganda of
the question tells us that the farmers are growing "rich." And yet there
were never so many abandoned farms!
"Therefore, at all costs we must deprive them of their land."
