PROTOCOL 13
The need for daily bread. Questions of the
Political. Questions of industry. Amusements. People's Palaces. "Truth is
One." The great problems.
The need for daily bread forces the goyim to keep silence and
be our humble servants. Agents taken on to our press from among the goyim will
at our orders discuss anything which it is inconvenient for us to issue directly
in official documents, and we meanwhile, quietly amid the din of the discussion
so raised, shall simply take and carry through such measures as we wish and then
offer them to the public as an accomplished fact. No one will dare to demand the
abrogation of a matter once settled, all the more so as it will be represented
as an improvement. . . And immediately the press will distract the current of
thought towards new questions (have we not trained people always to be seeking
something new?). Into the discussions of these new questions will throw
themselves those of the brainless dispensers of fortunes who are not able even
now to understand that they have not the remotest conception about the matters
which they undertake to discuss. Questions of the political are unattainable for
any save those who have guided it already for many ages, the creators.
From all this you will see that in securing the opinion of the
mob we are only facilitating the working of our machinery, and you may remark
that it is not for actions but for words issued by us on this or that question
that we seem to seek approval. We are constantly making public declaration that
we are guided in all our undertakings by the hope, joined to the conviction,
that we are serving the common weal.
In order to distract people who may be too troublesome from
discussions of questions of the political we are now putting forward what we
allege to be new questions of the political, namely, questions of industry. In
this sphere let them discuss themselves silly! The masses are agreed to remain
inactive, to take a rest from what they suppose to be political activity (which
we trained them to in order to use them as a means of combatting the goy
governments) only on condition of being found new employments, in which we are
prescribing them something that looks like the same political object. 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. . . Soon we
shall begin through the press to propose competitions in art, in sport of all
kinds: these interests will finally distract their minds from questions in which
we should find ourselves compelled to oppose them. Growing more and more
disaccustomed to reflect and form any opinions of their own, people will begin
to talk in the same tone as we, because we alone shall be offering them new
directions for thought of course through such persons as will not be suspected
of solidarity with us.
The part played by the liberals, utopian dreamers, will be
finally played out when our government is acknowledged. Till such time they will
continue to do us good service. Therefore we shall continue to direct their
minds to all sorts of vain conceptions of fantastic theories, new and apparently
progressive: for have we not with complete success turned the brainless heads of
the goyim with progress, till there it not among the goyim one mind able to
perceive that under this work lies a departure from truth in all cases where it
is not a question of material inventions, for truth is one, and in it there is
no place for progress. Progress, like a fallacious idea, serves to obscure truth
so that none may know it except us, the Chosen of God, its guardians.
When we come into our kingdom our orators will expound great
problems which have turned humanity upside down in order to bring it at the end
under our beneficent rule.
Who will ever suspect then that all these peoples were
stage-managed by us according to political plan which no one has so much as
guessed at in the course of many centuries? . . .
