+ | < | ||
+ | <p>1. What form of administrative rule can be given to | ||
+ | communities in which corruption has penetrated everywhere, | ||
+ | communities where riches are attained only by the clever surprise | ||
+ | tactics of semi-swindling tricks; where loseness reigns: where | ||
+ | morality is maintained by penal measures and harsh laws but not | ||
+ | by voluntarily accepted principles: where the feelings towards | ||
+ | faith and country are obligated by cosmopolitan convictions? | ||
+ | form of rule is to be given to these communities if not that | ||
+ | despotism which I shall describe to you later? We shall create an | ||
+ | intensified centralization of government in order to grip in our | ||
+ | hands all the forces of the community. We shall regulate mechanically | ||
+ | all the actions of the political life of our subjects by new laws. | ||
+ | These laws will withdraw one by one all the indulgences and liberties | ||
+ | which have been permitted by the GOYIM, and our kingdom will be | ||
+ | distinguished by a despotism of such magnificent proportions as to | ||
+ | be at any moment and in every place in a position to wipe out any | ||
+ | GOYIM who oppose us by deed or word. </p> | ||
+ | <p>2. We shall be told that such a despotism as I speak of is not | ||
+ | consistent with the progress of these days, but I will prove to you | ||
+ | that it is. </p> | ||
+ | <p>3. In the times when the peoples looked upon kings on their | ||
+ | thrones as on a pure manifestation of the will of God, they submitted | ||
+ | without a murmur to the despotic power of kings: but from the day | ||
+ | when we insinuated into their minds the conception of their own | ||
+ | rights they began to regard the occupants of thrones as mere | ||
+ | ordinary mortals. The holy unction of the Lord's Anointed has fallen | ||
+ | from the heads of kings in the eyes of the people, and when we also | ||
+ | robbed them of their faith in God the might of power was flung upon | ||
+ | the streets into the place of public proprietorship and was seized | ||
+ | by us. </p> | ||
+ | <h3 align=" | ||
+ | <p>4. Moreover, the art of directing masses and individuals | ||
+ | by means of cleverly manipulated theory and verbiage, by regulations | ||
+ | of life in common and all sorts of other quirks, in all which the | ||
+ | GOYIM understand nothing, belongs likewise to the specialists of our | ||
+ | administrative brain. Reared on analysis, observation, | ||
+ | of fine calculation, | ||
+ | more than we have either in the drawing up of plans of political | ||
+ | actions and solidarity. In this respect the Jesuits alone might have | ||
+ | compared with us, but we have contrived to discredit them in the | ||
+ | eyes of the unthinking mob as an overt organization, | ||
+ | ourselves all the while have kept our secret organization in the | ||
+ | shade. However, it is probably all the same to the world who is its | ||
+ | sovereign lord, whether the head of Catholicism or our despot of the | ||
+ | blood of Zion! But to us, the Chosen People, it is very far from | ||
+ | being a matter of indifference. </p> | ||
+ | <p>5. FOR A TIME PERHAPS WE MIGHT BE SUCCESSFULLY DEALT WITH BY A | ||
+ | COALITION OF THE " | ||
+ | danger we are secured by the discord existing among them whose roots | ||
+ | are so deeply seated that they can never now be plucked up. We have | ||
+ | set one against another the personal and national reckonings of the | ||
+ | GOYIM, religious and race hatreds, which we have fostered into a | ||
+ | huge growth in the course of the past twenty centuries. This is the | ||
+ | reason why there is not one State which would anywhere receive | ||
+ | support if it were to raise its arm, for every one of them must bear | ||
+ | in mind that any agreement against us would be unprofitable to | ||
+ | itself. We are too strong - there is no evading our power. THE | ||
+ | NATIONS CANNOT COME TO EVEN AN INCONSIDERABLE PRIVATE AGREEMENT | ||
+ | WITHOUT OUR SECRETLY HAVING A HAND IN IT. </p> | ||
+ | <p>6. PER ME REGES REGNANT. < | ||
+ | reign."</ | ||
+ | by God Himself to rule over the whole earth. God has endowed us with | ||
+ | genius that we may be equal to our task. Were genius in the opposite | ||
+ | camp it would still struggle against us, but even so, a newcomer is | ||
+ | no match for the old-established settler: the struggle would be | ||
+ | merciless between us, such a fight as the world has never seen. Aye, | ||
+ | and the genius on their side would have arrived too late. All the | ||
+ | wheels of the machinery of all States go by the force of the engine, | ||
+ | which is in our hands, and that engine of the machinery of States is | ||
+ | - Gold. The science of political economy invented by our learned | ||
+ | elders has for long past been giving royal prestige to capital.</ | ||
+ | <h3 align=" | ||
+ | <p>7. Capital, if it is to co-operate untrammeled, | ||
+ | be free to establish a monopoly of industry and trade: this is | ||
+ | already being put in execution by an unseen hand in all quarters | ||
+ | of the world. This freedom will give political force to those | ||
+ | engaged in industry, and that will help to oppress the people. | ||
+ | Nowadays it is more important to disarm the peoples than to lead | ||
+ | them into war: more important to use for our advantage the | ||
+ | passions which have burst into flames than to quench their fire: | ||
+ | more important to eradicate them. THE PRINCIPLE OBJECT OF OUR | ||
+ | DIRECTORATE CONSISTS IN THIS: TO DEBILITATE THE PUBLIC MIND BY | ||
+ | CRITICISM; TO LEAD IT AWAY FROM SERIOUS REFLECTIONS CALCULATED TO | ||
+ | AROUSE RESISTANCE; TO DISTRACT THE FORCES OF THE MIND TOWARDS A | ||
+ | SHAM FIGHT OF EMPTY ELOQUENCE. </p> | ||
+ | <p>8. In all ages the people of the world, equally with individuals, | ||
+ | have accepted words for deeds, for THEY ARE CONTENT WITH A SHOW and | ||
+ | rarely pause to note, in the public arena, whether promises are | ||
+ | followed by performance. Therefore we shall establish show | ||
+ | institutions which will give eloquent proof of their benefit to | ||
+ | progress. </p> | ||
+ | <p>9. We shall assume to ourselves the liberal physiognomy of all | ||
+ | parties, of all directions, and we shall give that physiognomy a | ||
+ | VOICE IN ORATORS WHO WILL SPEAK SO MUCH THAT THEY WILL EXHAUST THE | ||
+ | PATIENCE OF THEIR HEARERS AND PRODUCE AN ABHORRENCE OF ORATORY. </p> | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | 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 < | ||
+ | LABYRINTH AND COME TO SEE THAT THE BEST THING IS TO HAVE NO OPINION | ||
+ | OF ANY KIND IN MATTERS POLITICAL, which it is not given to the | ||
+ | public to understand, because they are understood only by him who | ||
+ | guides the public. This is the first secret. </p> | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | is comprised in the following: To multiply to such an extent | ||
+ | national failings, habits, passions, conditions of civil life, that | ||
+ | it will be impossible for anyone to know where he is in the resulting | ||
+ | chaos, so that the people in consequence will fail to understand one | ||
+ | another. This measure will also serve us in another way, namely, to | ||
+ | sow discord in all parties, to dislocate all collective forces which | ||
+ | are still unwilling to submit to us, and to discourage any kind of | ||
+ | personal initiative which might in any degree hinder our affair. | ||
+ | THERE IS NOTHING MORE DANGEROUS THAN PERSONAL INITIATIVE: if it has | ||
+ | genius behind it, such initiative can do more than can be done by | ||
+ | millions of people among whom we have sown discord. We must so direct | ||
+ | the education of the GOYIM communities that whenever they come upon a | ||
+ | matter requiring initiative they may drop their hands in despairing | ||
+ | impotence. The strain which results from freedom of actions saps the | ||
+ | forces when it meets with the freedom of another. From this | ||
+ | collision arise grave moral shocks, disenchantments, | ||
+ | ALL THESE MEANS WE SHALL SO WEAR DOWN THE " | ||
+ | THEY WILL BE COMPELLED TO OFFER US INTERNATIONAL POWER OF A NATURE | ||
+ | THAT BY ITS POSITION WILL ENABLE US WITHOUT ANY VIOLENCE GRADUALLY | ||
+ | TO ABSORB ALL THE STATE FORCES OF THE WORLD AND TO FORM A | ||
+ | SUPER-GOVERNMENT. In place of the rulers of to-day we shall set up | ||
+ | a bogey which will be called the Super-Government Administration. | ||
+ | Its hands will reach out in all directions like nippers and its | ||
+ | organization will be of such colossal dimensions that it cannot | ||
+ | fail to subdue all the nations of the world. (League of Nations and | ||
+ | subsequent United Nations Organization - Ed.).</ | ||
