1.22.
........their youth has grown stupid on classicism and from early immorality, into which it has been inducted by our special agents - by tutors, lackeys, governesses in the houses of the wealthy, by clerks and others, by our women in the places of dissipation frequented by the OTHERS….
25… The would-be wise men of the OTHERS, the intellectuals, could not make anything out of the uttered words in their abstractedness; did not see that in nature there is no equality, cannot be freedom: that Nature herself has established inequality of minds, of characters, and capacities, just as immutably as she has established subordination to her laws …
26 … we have set up the aristocracy of our educated class headed by the aristocracy of money. The qualifications for this aristocracy we have established in wealth, which is dependent upon us, and in knowledge, for which our learned elders provide the motive force.
27… we have always worked upon the most sensitive chords of the human mind, upon the cash account, upon the cupidity, upon the insatiability for material needs of man; and each one of these human weaknesses, taken alone, is sufficient to paralyze initiative….
No. 2
2.. … The OTHERS are not guided by practical use of unprejudiced historical observation, but by theoretical routine without any critical regard for consequent results. … For them let that play the principal part which we have persuaded them to accept as the dictates of science (theory)….
3. Do not suppose for a moment that these statements are empty words: think carefully of the successes we arranged for Darwinism, Marxism, Nietzsche-ism. To us Ourselves, at any rate, it should be plain to see what a disintegrating importance these directives have had upon the minds of the OTHERS.
5. … The part played by the Press is to keep pointing our requirements supposed to be indispensable, to give voice to the complaints of the people, to express and to create discontent. It is in the Press that the triumph of freedom of speech finds its incarnation. But the OTHERS States have not known how to make use of this force; and it has fallen into our hands ….
No. 3
5. …. if talkers get the right to babble, if journalists get the right to scribble any nonsense side by side with good stuff, once the proletariat has no other profit out of the constitution save only those pitiful crumbs which we fling them from our table in return for their voting in favor of what we dictate, in favor of the men we place in power, …
7. We appear on the scene as alleged saviours of the worker from this oppression when we propose to him to enter the ranks of our fighting forces - Socialists, Anarchists, Communists …
10. … THE DIVISION OF MEN INTO CLASSES AND CONDITIONS. It is essential for all to know that OWING TO DIFFERENCE IN THE OBJECTS OF HUMAN ACTIVITY THERE CANNOT BE ANY EQUALITY, …
12. Remember the French Revolution… its preparations are well known to us for it was wholly the work of our hands.
16. At the present day we are, as an international force, invincible, because if attacked by some we are supported by other States.
No. 4
3. But even freedom might be harmless and have its place in the State economy without injury to the well-being of the peoples if it rested upon the foundation of faith in God, upon the brotherhood of humanity, unconnected with the conception of equality…. This is the reason why IT IS INDISPENSABLE FOR US TO UNDERMINE ALL FAITH, TO TEAR OUT OF THE MIND OF THE "OTHERS" THE VERY PRINCIPLE OF GOD-HEAD AND THE SPIRIT, AND TO PUT IN ITS PLACE ARITHMETICAL CALCULATIONS AND MATERIAL NEEDS.
4. In order to give the OTHERS no time to think and take note, their minds must be diverted towards industry and trade.
5. …Their only guide is gain, that is Gold, which they will erect into a veritable cult, for the sake of those material delights which it can give.
No. 5
6… The science of political economy invented by our learned elders has for long past been giving royal prestige to capital.
7. … Nowadays it is more important to disarm the peoples than to lead them into war: ..
10. IN ORDER TO PUT PUBLIC OPINION INTO OUR HANDS WE MUST BRING IT INTO A STATE OF BEWILDERMENT BY GIVING EXPRESSION FROM ALL SIDES TO SO MANY CONTRADICTORY OPINIONS AND FOR SUCH LENGTH OF TIME AS WILL SUFFICE TO MAKE THE "OTHERS" LOSE THEIR HEADS IN THE LABYRINTH …This is the first secret.
11. …THERE IS NOTHING MORE DANGEROUS THAN PERSONAL INITIATIVE: if it has genius behind it… We must so direct the education of the OTHERS communities that whenever they come upon a matter requiring initiative they may drop their hands in despairing impotence
No. 6
1. We shall soon begin to establish huge monopolies, reservoirs of colossal riches, upon which even, large fortunes of the OTHERS will depend to such an extent that they will go to the bottom together with the credit of the States on the day after the political smash ...
6…What we want is that industry should drain off from the land both labor and capital and by means of speculation transfer into our hands all the money of the world, and thereby throw all the OTHERS into the ranks of the proletariat
7. To complete the ruin of the industry of the OTHERS we shall bring to the assistance of speculation the luxury which we have developed among the OTHERS, that greedy demand for luxury which is swallowing up everything. …
No. 7
1. … What we have to get at is that there should be in all the States of the world, besides ourselves, only the masses of the proletariat, a few millionaires devoted to our interests, police and soldiers.
4. The principal factor of success in the political is the secrecy of its undertakings: the word should not agree with the deeds of the diplomat.
5. … THE PRESS, WHICH, WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS THAT MAY BE DISREGARDED, IS ALREADY ENTIRELY IN OUR HANDS.
No. 8
1. … resolutions should be set forth in expressions that shall seem to be the most exalted moral principles cast into legal form…. It will surround itself with publicists, practical jurists, administrators, diplomats and, finally, with persons prepared by a special super-educational training IN OUR SPECIAL SCHOOLS. These persons will have consonance of all the secrets of the social structure… political alphabets and words; they will be made acquainted with the whole underside of human nature, with all its sensitive chords on which they will have to play.
2. We shall surround our government with a whole world of economists. That is the reason why economic sciences form the principal subject of the teaching given to OURS. Around us again will be a whole constellation of bankers, industrialists, capitalists and - THE MAIN THING - MILLIONAIRES, BECAUSE IN SUBSTANCE EVERYTHING WILL BE SETTLED BY THE QUESTION OF FIGURES.
No. 9
2. The words of the liberal, which are in effect the words of our masonic watchword, namely, "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," will, when we come into our kingdom, be changed …, namely, into "The right of liberty, the duty of equality, the ideal of brotherhood."
9. In order to annihilate the institutions of the OTHERS before it is time we have touched them with craft and delicacy, and have taken hold of the ends of the springs which move their mechanism. These springs lay in a strict but just sense of order; we have replaced them by the chaotic license of liberalism.
11. Above the existing laws without substantially altering them, and by merely twisting them into contradictions of interpretations, we have erected something grandiose in the way of results. These results found expression in the fact that the INTERPRETATIONS MASKED THE LAW.
12. This is the origin of the theory of course of arbitration.
13. You may say that the OTHERS will rise upon us, arms in hand, if they guess what is going on before the time comes; but in the West we have against this a manoeuvre of such appalling terror that the very stoutest hearts quail - the undergrounds, metropolitans, those subterranean corridors which, before the time comes, will be driven under all the capitals and from whence those capitals will be blown into the air with all their organizations and archives.
No. 10
4. WHEN WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED OUR COUP D'ETAT WE SHALL SAY THEN TO THE VARIOUS PEOPLES: "EVERYTHING HAS GONE TERRIBLY BADLY, ALL HAVE BEEN WORN OUT WITH SUFFERING. WE ARE DESTROYING THE CAUSES OF YOUR TORMENT - NATIONALITIES, FRONTIERS, DIFFERENCES OF COINAGES. …
5. TO SECURE THIS WE MUST HAVE EVERYBODY VOTE WITHOUT DISTINCTION OF CLASSES AND QUALIFICATIONS… The people will submit to this regime because it will know that upon these leaders will depend its earnings, gratifications and the receipt of all kinds of benefits.
10. Liberalism produced Constitutional States, …THEN IT WAS THAT THE ERA OF REPUBLICS BECOME POSSIBLE OF REALIZATION; AND THEN IT WAS THAT WE REPLACED THE RULER BY A CARICATURE OF A GOVERNMENT - BY A PRESIDENT, TAKEN FROM THE MOB….
No. 11
4. The OTHERS are a flock of sheep, and we are their wolves. And you know what happens when the wolves get hold of the flock? ....
5. There is another reason also why they will close their eyes: for we shall keep promising them to give back all the liberties we have taken away as soon as we have quelled the enemies of peace and tamed all parties ....
No. 12
1. The word "freedom," which can be interpreted in various ways, is defined by us as follows -
2. Freedom is the right to do what which the law allows….
3. …: what is the part played by the press to-day? It serves to excite and inflame those passions which are needed for our purpose or else it serves selfish ends of parties…
4. NOT A SINGLE ANNOUNCEMENT WILL REACH THE PUBLIC WITHOUT OUR CONTROL. Even …all news items are received by a few agencies, in whose offices they are focused from all parts of the world.
6. …. All the so-called liberals are anarchists, if not in fact, at any rate in thought. Every one of them in hunting after phantoms of freedom, and falling exclusively into license, that is, into the anarchy of protest for the sake of protest ....
8. Literature and journalism are two of the most important educative forces, and therefore our government will become proprietor of the majority of the journals.
12. All our newspapers will be of all possible complexions - aristocratic, republican, revolutionary, even anarchical - for so long, of course, as the constitution exists …
No. 13
1. .. the press will distract the current of thought towards, new questions, (have we not trained people always to be seeking something new?). ….
3. … In order that the masses themselves may not guess what they are about WE FURTHER DISTRACT THEM WITH AMUSEMENTS, GAMES, PASTIMES, PASSIONS, PEOPLE'S PALACES …: these interests will finally distract their minds from questions in which we should find ourselves compelled to oppose them
4. The part played by the liberals, utopian dreamers, will be finally played out when our government is acknowledged. …, till there is not among the OTHERS one mind able to perceive that under this word lies a departure from truth in all cases where it is not a question of material inventions
6. Who will ever suspect then that ALL THESE PEOPLES WERE STAGE-MANAGED BY US ACCORDING TO A POLITICAL PLAN WHICH NO ONE HAS SO MUCH AS GUESSED AT IN THE COURSE OF MANY CENTURIES?
No. 14
5. IN COUNTRIES KNOWN AS PROGRESSIVE AND ENLIGHTENED WE HAVE CREATED A SENSELESS, FILTHY, ABOMINABLE LITERATURE.
No. 15
1. When we at last definitely come into our kingdom by the aid of COUPS D'ETAT …. Every kind of new institution of anything like a secret society will also be punished with death; those of them which are now in existence, are known to us, serve us and have served us, we shall disband …
3. In THEIR societies, in which we have planted and deeply rooted discord and Protestantism…..
4. Meantime…, we shall act in the contrary way: we shall create and multiply free masonic lodges in all the countries of the world…. AMONG THE MEMBERS OF THESE LODGES WILL BE ALMOST ALL THE AGENTS OF INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL POLICE since their service is for us irreplaceable
5. The class of people who most willingly enter into secret societies are those who live by their wits, careerists, and in general people, mostly light-minded, with whom we shall have no difficulty in….
6. … they thirst for the emotion of success and applause, of which we are remarkably generous...... You cannot imagine to what extent the wisest of the OTHERS can be brought to a state of unconscious naivete in the presence of this condition of high conceit of themselves…
7. If we have been able to bring them to such a pitch of stupid blindness is it not a proof, and an amazingly clear proof, of the degree to which the mind of the OTHERS is undeveloped in comparison with our mind? This it is, mainly, which guarantees our success.
13. … OUR JUDGES WILL KNOW THAT WHENEVER THEY FEEL DISPOSED TO PLUME THEMSELVES ON FOOLISH CLEMENCY THEY ARE VIOLATING THE LAW OF JUSTICE.... Such qualities it is proper to show in private life, but not in a public square which is the educational basis of human life. (Is it not a coincidence that OUR created "Bar Associations" has declared that "May 1st" to be "Law Day;" the same date that the WE created the "xxxxxi" under the guidance of A.W. in 1776? Is it also a coincidence that the OUR created "Communist Nations" celebrate "May 1st" as a National holiday?).
No. 16
2. We shall exclude from the course of instruction State Law as also all that concerns the political question. …. THE UNIVERSITIES MUST NO LONGER SEND OUT FROM THEIR HALLS MILK SOPS CONCOCTING PLANS FOR A CONSTITUTION, LIKE A COMEDY OR A TRAGEDY ….,
5. Each state of life must be trained within strict limits corresponding to its destination and work in life. The OCCASIONAL GENIUS HAS ALWAYS MANAGED AND ALWAYS WILL MANAGE TO SLIP THROUGH INTO OTHER STATES OF LIFE, BUT IT IS THE MOST PERFECT FOLLY FOR THE SAKE OF THIS RARE OCCASIONAL GENIUS TO LET THROUGH INTO RANKS FOREIGN TO THEM THE UNTALENTED …
No. 17
1. The practice of advocacy produces men cold, cruel, persistent, unprincipled, who in all cases take up an impersonal, purely legal standpoint. ..
7. … In our programs ONE-THIRD OF OUR SUBJECTS WILL KEEP THE REST UNDER OBSERVATION from a sense of duty… to the State. It will then be no disgrace to be a spy and informer, but a merit: …
8. Our agents will be taken from the higher as well as the lower ranks of society, from among the administrative class who spend their time in amusements, editors, printers and publishers, booksellers, clerks, and salesmen, workmen, coachmen, lackeys, et cetera.
No. 18
2. As the majority of conspirators act of love for the game, for the sake of talking, so, until they commit some overt act we shall not lay a finger on them but only introduce into their midst observation elements …
3. Our ruler will be secretly protected only by the most insignificant guard, because we shall not admit so much as a thought that there could exist against him any sedition with which he is not strong enough to contend and is compelled to hide from it.
4. If we should admit this thought, as the OTHERS have done and are doing, we should IPSO FACTO be signing a death sentence, if not for our ruler, at any rate for his dynasty, at no distant date.
No. 19
3. In order to destroy the prestige of heroism for political crime we shall send it for trial in the category of thieving, murder, and every kind of abominable and filthy crime. …
4… through the Press and in speeches, indirectly - in cleverly compiled school- books on history, we have advertised the martyrdom alleged to have been accredited by sedition-mongers for the idea of the commonweal. This advertisement has increased the contingent of liberals and has brought thousands of OTHERS into the ranks of our livestock cattle.
No. 20
3. … taxation will best be covered by a progressive tax on property…
5. The tax upon the poor man is a seed of revolution and works to the detriment of the State which is hunting after the trifling …..
6. A tax increasing in a percentage ratio to capital will give much larger revenue than the present individual or property tax, which is useful to us now for the sole reason that it excites trouble and discontent among the OTHERS. (Now we know the purpose of the 16th Amendment!!).
7. … it is indispensable that the capitalists should yield up a portion of their incomes …. State needs must be paid by those who will not feel the burden and have enough to take from.
20…. loans burdened the finances of the State with the payment of interest and made them the bond slaves of these capitals .... The concentration of industry in the hands of capitalists out of the hands of small masters has drained away all the juices of the peoples and with them also the States .... (Now we know the purpose of the Federal Reserve Bank Corporation!!).
26. The budgets of income and expenditure will be carried out side by side that they may not be obscured by distance one to another.
29. .. Foreign loans are leeches which there is no possibility of removing from the body of the State until they fall off of themselves or the State flings them off. … THEIR States …. go on in persisting in putting more on to themselves so that they must inevitably perish…..
32. So long as loans were internal the OTHERS only shuffled their money from the pockets of the poor to those of the rich, but when we bought up the necessary person in order to transfer loans into the external sphere, all the wealth of States flowed into our cash- boxes and all the OTHERS began to pay us the tribute of subjects.
34. … The right to issue interest-bearing paper will be given exclusively to industrial companies who will find no difficulty in paying interest out of profits, whereas the State does not make interest on borrowed money like these companies, for the State borrows to spend and not to use in operations. (Now we know why President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 when he refused to borrow any more of the "Bank Notes" from the bankers of the Federal Reserve Bank and began circulating non-interest bearing "Notes" of the "United States of America"!!!).
37. But it is a proof of the genius of our chosen mind that we have contrived to present the matter of loans to them in such a light that they have even seen in them an advantage for themselves.
No. 21
3. States …open subscriptions for … their interest-bearing paper... Next day by artificial means the price of them goes up… - look you, they say, what confidence is shown in the government's bills of exchange.
4. But when the comedy is played out there emerges the fact that a debit and an exceedingly burdensome debit has been created. For the payment of interest it becomes necessary to have recourse to new loans, which do not swallow up but only add to the capital debt. And when this credit is exhausted it becomes necessary by new taxes to cover, not the loan, BUT ONLY THE INTEREST ON IT. These taxes are a debit employed to cover a debit .... (NOW WE KNOW OF THE PURPOSE OF THE ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ CRY FOR BALANCING THE BUDGET!!)
8. I beg you to concentrate your particular attention upon this point and upon the following: nowadays all internal loans are consolidated by so-called flying loans, that is, such as have terms of payment more or less near. These debts consist of moneys paid into the savings banks and reserve funds. If left for long at the disposition of a government these funds evaporate in the payment of interest on foreign loans, and are placed by the deposit of equivalent amount of RENTS.
No. 22
1 In all that has so far been reported by me to you…. the secret of what is coming, of what is past, and of what is going on now, rushing into the flood of the great events coming already in the near future, the secret of our relations to the OTHERS and of financial operations. …
3. Surely there is no need to seek further proof that our rule is predestined by God? … - the bringing of everything into order? … true freedom consists in the inviolability of the person who honorably and strictly observes all the laws of life in common, that human dignity is wrapped up in consciousness of the rights and also of the absence of rights of each, and not wholly and solely in fantastic imaginings about the subject of one's EGO.
No. 23
1. …We shall re-establish small master production which will mean laying a mine under the private capital of manufactures. … manufacturers on the grand scale often move, though not always consciously, the thoughts of the masses in directions against the government. A people of small masters knows nothing of unemployment and this binds him closely with existing order… Drunkenness also will be prohibited by law and punishable as a crime against humanness of man who is turned into a brute under the influence of alcohol.
2. Subjects, I repeat once more, give blind obedience only to the strong hand which is absolutely independent of them….
No. 24
14. The King must not be at the mercy of his passions, and especially of sensuality: on no side of his character must he give brute instincts power over his mind. Sensuality worse than all else disorganizes the capacities of the mind and clearness of views, distracting the thoughts to the worst and most brutal side of human activity.
