+ | < | ||
+ | <p>1. When it becomes necessary for us to strengthen the | ||
+ | strict measures of secret defense (the most fatal poison for the | ||
+ | prestige of authority) we shall arrange a simulation of disorders | ||
+ | or some manifestation of discontents finding expression through | ||
+ | the co-operation of good speakers. Round these speakers will | ||
+ | assemble all who are sympathetic to his utterances. This will | ||
+ | give us the pretext for domiciliary prerequisitions and | ||
+ | surveillance on the part of our servants from among the number of | ||
+ | the GOYIM police ... < | ||
+ | B'rith activities against the peace? | ||
+ | <p>2. As the majority of conspirators act out 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 .... It must be remembered that | ||
+ | the prestige of authority is lessened if it frequently discovers | ||
+ | conspiracies against itself: this implies a presumption of | ||
+ | consciousness of weakness, or, what is still worse, of injustice. | ||
+ | You are aware that we have broken the prestige of the GOY kings | ||
+ | by frequent attempts upon their lives through our agents, blind | ||
+ | sheep of our flock, who are easily moved by a few liberal phrases | ||
+ | to crimes provided only they be painted in political colors. WE | ||
+ | HAVE COMPELLED THE RULERS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR WEAKNESS IN | ||
+ | ADVERTISING OVERT MEASURES OF SECRET DEFENSE AND THEREBY WE | ||
+ | SHALL BRING THE PROMISE OF AUTHORITY TO DESTRUCTION. </p> | ||
+ | <p>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. </p> | ||
+ | <p>4. If we should admit this thought, as the GOYIM 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. </p> | ||
+ | <h3 align=" | ||
+ | <p>5. According to strictly enforced outward appearances | ||
+ | our ruler will employ his power only for the advantage of the | ||
+ | nation and in no wise for his own or dynastic profits. Therefore, | ||
+ | with the observance of this decorum, his authority will be | ||
+ | respected and guarded by the subjects themselves, it will receive | ||
+ | an apotheosis in the admission that with it is bound up the | ||
+ | well-being of every citizen of the State, for upon it will depend | ||
+ | all order in the common life of the pack .... </p> | ||
+ | <p>6. OVERT DEFENSE OF THE KIND ARGUES WEAKNESS IN THE | ||
+ | ORGANIZATION OF HIS STRENGTH. </p> | ||
+ | <p>7. Our ruler will always be among the people and be surrounded | ||
+ | by a mob of apparently curious men and women, who will occupy the | ||
+ | front ranks about him, to all appearance by chance, and will | ||
+ | restrain the ranks of the rest out of respect as it will appear | ||
+ | for good order. This will sow an example of restraint also in | ||
+ | others. If a petitioner appears among the people trying to hand | ||
+ | a petition and forcing his way through the ranks, the first ranks | ||
+ | must receive the petition and before the eyes of the petitioner | ||
+ | pass it to the ruler, so that all may know that what is handed in | ||
+ | reaches its destination, | ||
+ | of the ruler himself. The aureole of power requires for his | ||
+ | existence that the people may be able to say: < | ||
+ | knew of this,"</ | ||
+ | <p>8. WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF OFFICIAL DEFENSE, THE MYSTICAL | ||
+ | PRESTIGE OF AUTHORITY DISAPPEARS: given a certain audacity, and | ||
+ | everyone counts himself master of it, the sedition-monger is | ||
+ | conscious of his strength, and when occasion serves watches for | ||
+ | the moment to make an attempt upon authority .... For the GOYIM we | ||
+ | have been preaching something else, but by that very fact we are | ||
+ | enabled to see what measures of overt defense have brought them | ||
+ | to .... </p> | ||
+ | <p>9. CRIMINALS WITH US WILL BE ARRESTED AT THE FIRST, more or less, | ||
+ | well-grounded SUSPICION: it cannot be allowed that out of fear of a | ||
+ | possible mistake an opportunity should be given of escape to persons | ||
+ | suspected of a political lapse of crime, for in these matters we | ||
+ | shall be literally merciless. If it is still possible, by stretching | ||
+ | a point, to admit a reconsideration of the motive causes in simple | ||
+ | crimes, there is no possibility of excuse for persons occupying | ||
+ | themselves with questions in which nobody except the government can | ||
+ | understand anything .... And it is not all governments that | ||
+ | understand true policy. </p> | ||
