PROTOCOL NUMBER THREE



1. To-day I may tell you that our goal is now only a few
steps off. There remains a small space to cross and the
whole long path we have trodden is ready now to close its
cycle of the Symbolic Snake, by which we symbolize our
people. When this ring closes, all the States of Europe will
be locked in its coil as in a powerful vice.

2. The constitution scales of these days will shortly break
down, for we have established them with a certain lack of
accurate balance in order that they may oscillate
incessantly until they wear through the pivot on which they
turn. The goyim are under the impression that they have
welded them sufficiently strong and they have all along kept
on expecting that the scales would come into equilibrium.
But the pivots - the kings on their thrones - are hemmed in
by their representatives, who play the fool, distraught with
their own uncontrolled and irresponsible power. This power
they owe to the terror which has been breathed into the
palaces. As they have no means of getting at their people,
into their very midst, the kings on their thrones are no
longer able to come to terms with them and so strengthen
themselves against seekers after power. We have made a gulf
between the far-seeing Sovereign Power and the blind force
of the people so that both have lost all meaning, for like
the blind man and his stick, both are powerless apart.

3. In order to incite seekers after power to a misuse of
power we have set all forces in opposition one to another,
breaking up their liberal tendencies towards independence.
To this end we have stirred up every form of enterprise, we
have armed all parties, we have set up authority as a target
for every ambition. Of States we have made gladiatorial
arenas where a lot of confused issues contend .... A little
more, and disorders and bankruptcy will be universal ....

4. Babblers, inexhaustible, have turned into oratorical
contests the sittings of Parliament and Administrative
Boards. Bold journalists and unscrupulous pamphleteers daily
fall upon executive officials. Abuses of power will put the
final touch in preparing all institutions for their
overthrow and everything will fly skyward under the blows of
the maddened mob.

POVERTY OUR WEAPON:

5. All people are chained down to heavy toil by poverty more
firmly than ever. They were chained by slavery and serfdom;
from these, one way and another, they might free themselves.
These could be settled with, but from want they will never
get away. We have included in the constitution such rights
as to the masses appear fictitious and not actual rights.
All these so-called "Peoples Rights" can exist only in idea,
an idea which can never be realized in practical life. What
is it to the proletariat laborer, bowed double over his
heavy toil, crushed by his lot in life, 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, the servants of our
agentur ... Republican rights for a poor man are no more
than a bitter piece of irony, for the necessity he is under
of toiling almost all day gives him no present use of them,
but the other hand robs him of all guarantee of regular and
certain earnings by making him dependent on strikes by his
comrades or lockouts by his masters.

WE SUPPORT COMMUNISM:

6. The people, under our guidance, have annihilated the
aristocracy, who were their one and only defense and foster-
mother for the sake of their own advantage which is
inseparably bound up with the well-being of the people.
Nowadays, with the destruction of the aristocracy, the
people have fallen into the grips of merciless
money-grinding scoundrels who have laid a pitiless and cruel
yoke upon the necks of the workers.

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 - to whom we always give support in accordance
with an alleged brotherly rule (of the solidarity of all
humanity) of our social masonry. The aristocracy, which
enjoyed by law the labor of the workers, was interested in
seeing that the workers were well fed, healthy, and strong.
We are interested in just the opposite - in the diminution,
the killing out of the goyim. Our power is in the chronic
shortness of food and physical weakness of the worker
because by all that this implies he is made the slave of our
will, and he will not find in his own authorities either
strength or energy to set against our will. Hunger creates
the right of capital to rule the worker more surely than it
was given to the aristocracy by the legal authority of
kings.

8. By want and the envy and hatred which it engenders we
shall move the mobs and with their hands we shall wipe out
all those who hinder us on our way.

9. When the hour strikes for our sovereign lord of all the
world to be crowned, it is these same hands which will sweep
away everything that might be a hindrance thereto.

10. The goyim have lost the habit of thinking unless
prompted by the suggestions of our specialists. Therefore
they do not see the urgent necessity of what we, when our
kingdom comes, shall adopt at once, namely this, that it is
essential to teach in national schools one simple, true
piece of knowledge, the basis of all knowledge - the
knowledge of the structure of human life, of social
existence, which requires division of labor, and
consequently, 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, that he, who by any act of his compromises a
whole class, cannot be equally responsible before the law
with him who affects no one but only his own honor. The true
knowledge of the structure of society, into the secrets of
which we do not admit the goyim, would demonstrate to all
men that the positions and work must be kept within a
certain circle, that they may not become a source of human
suffering, arising from an education which does not
correspond with the work which individuals are called upon
to do. After a thorough study of this knowledge, the peoples
will voluntarily submit to authority and accept such
position as is appointed them in the State. In the present
state of knowledge and the direction we have given to its
development of the people, blindly believing things in print
- cherishes - thanks to promptings intended to mislead and
to its own ignorance - a blind hatred towards all conditions
which it considers above itself, for it has no understanding
of the meaning of class and condition.

JEWS WILL BE SAFE:

11. This hatred will be still further magnified by the
effects of an economic crises, which will stop dealing on
the exchanges and bring industry to a standstill. We shall
create by all the secret subterranean methods open to us and
with the aid of gold, which is all in our hands, a universal
economic crises whereby we shall throw upon the streets the
whole mobs of workers simultaneously in all the countries of
Europe. These mobs will rush delightedly to shed the blood
of those whom, in the simplicity of their ignorance, they
have envied from their cradles, and whose property they will
then be able to loot.

12 "Ours" they will not touch, because the moment of attack
will be known to us and we shall take measures to protect
our own.

13. We have demonstrated that progress will bring all the
goyim to the sovereignty of reason. Our despotism will be
precisely that; for it will know how, by wise severities, to
pacificate all unrest, to cauterize liberalism out of all
institutions.

14. When the populace has seen that all sorts of concessions
and indulgences are yielded it, in the same name of freedom
it has imagined itself to be sovereign lord and has stormed
its way to power, but, naturally like every other blind man,
it has come upon a host of stumbling blocks. It has rushed
to find a guide, it has never had the sense to return to the
former state and it has laid down its plenipotentiary powers
at our feet. Remember the French Revolution, to which it was
we who gave the name of "Great": the secrets of its
preparations are well known to us for it was wholly the work
of our hands.

15 Ever since that time we have been leading the peoples
from one disenchantment to another, so that in the end they
should turn also from us in favor of that king-despot of the
blood of Zion, whom we are preparing for the world.

16. At the present day we are, as an international force,
invincible, because if attacked by some we are supported by
other States. It is the bottomless rascality of the goyim
peoples, who crawl on their bellies to force, but are
merciless towards weakness, unsparing to faults and
indulgent to crimes, unwilling to bear the contradictions of
a free social system but patient unto martyrdom under the
violence of a bold despotism - it is those qualities which
are aiding us to independence. From the premier- dictators
of the present day, the goyim peoples suffer patiently and
bear such abuses as for the least of them they would have
beheaded twenty kings.

17. What is the explanation of this phenomenon, this curious
inconsequence of the masses of the peoples in their attitude
towards what would appear to be events of the same order?

18. It is explained by the fact that these dictators whisper
to the peoples through their agents that through these
abuses they are inflicting injury on the States with the
highest purpose - to secure the welfare of the peoples, the
international brotherhood of them all, their solidarity and
equality of rights. Naturally they do not tell the peoples
that this unification must be accomplished only under our
sovereign rule.

19. And thus the people condemn the upright and acquit the
guilty, persuaded ever more and more that it can do
whatsoever it wishes. Thanks to this state of things, the
people are destroying every kind of stability and creating
disorders at every step.

20. The word "freedom" brings out the communities of men to
fight against every kind of force, against every kind of
authority even against God and the laws of nature. For this
reason we, when we come into our kingdom, shall have to
erase this word from the lexicon of life as implying a
principle of brute force which turns mobs into bloodthirsty
beasts.

21. These beasts, it is true, fall asleep again every time
when they have drunk their fill of blood, and at such time
can easily be riveted into their chains. But if they be not
given blood they will not sleep and continue to struggle.
