PROTOCOL NUMBER FIFTEEN


1. When we at last definitely come into our kingdom by the
aid of coups d'etat prepared everywhere for one and the same
day, after definitely acknowledged (and not a little time
will pass before that comes about, perhaps even a whole
century) we shall make it our task to see that against us
such things as plots shall no longer exist. With this
purpose we shall slay without mercy all who take arms (in
hand) to oppose our coming into our kingdom. 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 and send into exile to continents far removed
from Europe. In this way we shall proceed with those goy
Masons who know too much; such of these as we may for some
reason spare will be kept in constant fear of exile. We
shall promulgate a law making all former members of secret
societies liable to exile from Europe as the center of rule.

2. Resolutions of our government will be final, without
appeal.

3. In the goy societies, in which we have planted and deeply
rooted discord and protestantism, the only possible way of
restoring order is to employ merciless measures that prove
the direct force of authority: no regard must be paid to the
victims who fall, they suffer for the well-being of the
future. The attainment of that well-being, even at the
expense of sacrifices, is the duty of any kind of government
that acknowledges as justification for its existence not
only its privileges but its obligations. The principal
guarantee of stability of rule is to confirm the aureole of
power, and this aureole is attained only by such a majestic
inflexibility of might as shall carry on its face the
emblems of inviolability from mystical causes - from the
choice of God. Such was, until recent times, the Russian
autocracy, the one and only serious foe we had in the world,
without counting the papacy. Bear in mind the example when
Italy, drenched with blood, never touched a hair of the head
of Sulla who had poured forth that blood: Sulla enjoyed an
apotheosis for his might in him, but his intrepid return to
Italy ringed him round with inviolability. The people do not
lay a finger on him who hypnotizes them by his daring and
strength of mind.

SECRET SOCIETIES:

4. Meantime, however, until we come into our kingdom, we
shall act in the contrary way: we shall create and multiply
free masonic lodges in all the countries of the world,
absorb into them all who may become or who are prominent in
public activity, for these lodges we shall find our
principal intelligence office and means of influence. All
these lodges we shall bring under one central
administration, known to us alone and to all others
absolutely unknown, which will be composed of our learned
elders. The lodges will have their representatives who will
serve to screen the above-mentioned administration of
masonry and from whom will issue the watchword and program.
In these lodges we shall tie together the knot which binds
together all revolutionary and liberal elements. Their
composition will be made up of all strata of society. The
most secret political plots will be known to us and fall
under our guiding hands on the very day of their conception.
Among the members of these lodges will be almost all the
agents of international and national police since their
service is for us irreplaceable in the respect that the
police is in a position not only to use its own particular
measures with the insubordinate, but also to screen our
activities and provide pretexts for discontents, et cetera.

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 dealing and in using to wind up the
mechanism of the machine devised by us. If this world grows
agitated the meaning of that will be that we have had to
stir up in order to break up its too great solidarity. But
if there should arise in the midst a plot, then at the head
of that plot will be no other than one of our most trusted
servants. It is natural that we and no other should lead
masonic activities, for we know whither we are leading, we
know the final goal of every form of activity whereas the
goyim have knowledge of nothing, not even of the immediate
effect of action; they put before themselves, usually, the
momentary reckoning of the satisfaction of their self-
opinion in the accomplishment of their thought without even
remarking that the very conception never belonged to their
initiative but to our instigation of their thought ....

GENTILES ARE STUPID:

6. The goyim enter the lodges out of curiosity or in the
hope by their means to get a nibble at the public pie, and
some of them in order to obtain a hearing before the public
for their impracticable and groundless fantasies: they
thirst for the emotion of success and applause, of which we
are remarkably generous. And the reason why we give them
this success is to make use of the nigh conceit of
themselves to which it gives birth, for that insensibly
disposes them to assimulate our suggestions without being on
their guard against them in the fullness of their confidence
that it is their own infallibility which is giving utterance
to their own thoughts and that it is impossible for them to
borrow those of others .... You cannot imagine to what
extent the wisest of the goyim can be brought to a state of
unconscious naivete in the presence of this condition of
high conceit of themselves, and at the same time how easy it
is to take the heart out of them by the slightest
ill-success, though it be nothing more than the stoppage of
the applause they had, and to reduce them to a slavish
submission for the sake of winning a renewal of success ....
by so much as ours disregard success, if only they can carry
through their plans, by so much the "goyim" are willing to
sacrifice any plans only to have success. This psychology of
theirs materially facilitates for us the task of setting
them in the required direction. These tigers in appearance
have the souls of sheep and the wind blows freely through
their heads. We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea
about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit
of collectivism .... They have never yet and they never will
have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a
manifest violation of the most important law of nature,
which has established from the very creation of the world
one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of
instituting individuality ....

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 goyim is
undeveloped in comparison with our mind? This it is, mainly,
which guarantees our success.

GENTILES ARE CATTLE:

8. And how far-seeing were our learned elders in ancient
times when they said that to attain a serious end it
behooves not to stop at any means or to count the victims
sacrificed for the sake of that end .... We have not counted
the victims of the seed of the goy cattle, though we have
sacrificed many of our own, but for that we have now already
given them such a position on the earth as they could not
even have dreamed of. The comparatively small numbers of the
victims from the number of ours have preserved our
nationality from destruction.

9. Death is the inevitable end for all. It is better to
bring that end nearer to those who hinder our affairs than
to ourselves, to the founders of this affair. We execute
masons in such wise that none save the brotherhood can ever
have a suspicion of it, not even the victims themselves of
our death sentence, they all die when required as if from a
normal kind of illness ..... Knowing this, even the
brotherhood in its turn dare not protest. By such methods we
have plucked out of the midst of masonry the very root of
protest against our disposition. While preaching liberalism
to the goy we at the same time keep our own people and our
agents in a state of unquestioningly submission.

10. Under our influence the execution of the laws of the
goyim has been reduced to a minimum. The prestige of the law
has been exploded by the liberal interpretations introduced
into this sphere. In the most important and fundamental
affairs and questions, judges decide as we dictate to them,
see matters in the light wherewith we enfold them for the
administration of the goyim, of course, through persons who
are our tools though we do not appear to have anything in
common with them - by newspaper opinion or by other means
.... Even senators and the higher administration accept our
counsels. The purely brute mind of the goyim is incapable of
use for analysis and observation, and still more for the
foreseeing whither a certain manner of setting a question
may tend.

11. In this difference in capacity for thought between the
goyim and ourselves may be clearly discerned the seal of our
position as the Chosen People and of our higher quality of
humanness, in contradistinction to the brute mind of the
goyim. Their eyes are open, but see nothing before them and
do not invent (unless perhaps, material things). From this
it is plain that nature herself has destined us to guide and
rule the world.

WE DEMAND SUBMISSION:

12. When comes the time of our overt rule, the time to
manifest its blessing, we shall remake all legislatures, all
our laws will be brief, plain, stable, without any kind of
interpretations, so that anyone will be in a position to
know them perfectly. The main feature which will run right
through them is submission to orders, and this principle
will be carried to a grandiose height. Every abuse will then
disappear in consequence of the responsibility of all down
to the lowest unit before the higher authority of the
representative of power. Abuses of power subordinate to this
last instance will be so mercilessly punished that none will
be found anxious to try experiments with their own powers.
We shall follow up jealously every action of the
administration on which depends the smooth running of the
machinery of the State, for slackness in this produces
slackness everywhere; not a single case of illegality or
abuse of power will be left without exemplary punishment.

13. Concealment of guilt, connivance between those in the
service of the administration - all this kind of evil will
disappear after the very first examples of severe
punishment. The aureole of our power demands suitable, that
is, cruel, punishments for the slightest infringement, for
the sake of gain, of its supreme prestige. The sufferer,
though his punishment may exceed his fault, will count as a
soldier falling on the administrative field of battle in the
interest of authority, principle and law, which do not
permit that any of those who hold the reins of the public
coach should turn aside from the public highway to their own
private paths. For examples, our judges will know that
whenever they feel disposed to plume themselves on foolish
clemency, they are violating the law of justice which is
instituted for the exemplary edification of men by penalties
for lapses and not for display of the spiritual qualities of
the judges .... Such qualities it is proper to show in
private life, but not in a public square which is the
educationally basis of human life. (Is it not a coincidence
that the Jewish created "Bar Associations" has declared that
"May 1st" to be "Law Day;" the same date that the Jews
created the "Illuminati" under the guidance of Adam
Wiesthaust in 1776? Is it also a coincidence that the Jewish
created "Communist Nations" celebrate "May 1st" as a
National holiday?).

14. Our legal staff will serve not beyond the age of 55,
firstly because old men more obstinately hold to prejudiced
opinions, and are less capable of submitting to new
directions, and secondly because this will give us the
possibility by this measure of securing elasticity in the
changing of staff, which will thus the more easily bend
under our pressure: he who wishes to keep his place will
have to give blind obedience to deserve it. In general, our
judges will be elected by us only from among those who
thoroughly understand that the part they have to play is to
punish and apply laws and not to dream about the
manifestations of liberalism at the expense of the
educational scheme of the State, as the goyim in these days
imagine it to be .... This method of shuffling the staff
will serve also to explode any collective solidarity of
those in the same service and will bind all to the interests
of the government upon which their fate will depend. The
young generation of judges will be trained in certain views
regarding the inadmissibility of any abuses that might
disturb the established order of our subjects among
themselves.

15. In these days the judges of the goyim create indulgences
to every kind of crimes, not having a just understanding of
their office, because the rulers of the present age in
appointing judges to office take no care to inculcate in
them a sense of duty and consciousness of the matter which
is demanded of them. As a brute beast lets out its young in
search of prey, so do the goyim give to them for what
purpose such place was created. This is the reason why their
governments are being ruined by their own forces through the
acts of their own administration.

16. Let us borrow from the example of the results of these
actions yet another lesson for our government.

17. We shall root out liberalism from all the important
strategic posts of our government on which depends the
training of subordinates for our State structure. Such posts
will fall exclusively to those who have been trained by us
for administrative rule. To the possible objection that the
retirement of old servants will cost the Treasury heavily, I
reply, firstly, they will be provided with some private
service in place of what they lose, and, secondly, I have to
remark that all the money in the world will be concentrated
in our hands, consequently it is not our government that has
to fear expense.

WE SHALL BE CRUEL:

18. Our absolutism will in all things be logically
consecutive and therefore in each one of its decrees our
supreme will be respected and unquestionably fulfilled: it
will ignore all murmurs, all discontents of every kind and
will destroy to the root every kind of manifestation of them
in act by punishment of an exemplary character.

19. We shall abolish the right of cessation, which will be
transferred exclusively to our disposal - to the cognizance
of him who rules, for we must not allow the conception among
the people of a thought that there could be such a thing as
a decision that is not right of judges set up by us. If,
however, anything like this should occur, we shall ourselves
cassate the decision, but inflict therewith such exemplary
punishment on the judge for lack of understanding of his
duty and the purpose of his appointment as will prevent a
repetition of such cases .... I repeat that it must be born
in mind that we shall know every step of our administration
which only needs to be closely watched for the people to be
content with us, for it has the right to demand from a good
government a good official.

20. Our government will have the appearance of a patriarchal
paternal guardianship on the part of our ruler. Our own
nation and our subjects will discern in his person a father
caring for their every need, their every act, their every
inter-relation as subjects one with another, as well as
their relations to the ruler. They will then be so
thoroughly imbued with the thought that it is impossible for
them to dispense with this wardship and guidance, if they
wish to live in peace and quiet, that they will acknowledge
the autocracy of our ruler with a devotion bordering on
"apotheosis," especially when they are convinced that those
whom we set up do not put their own in place of authority,
but only blindly execute his dictates. They will be rejoiced
that we have regulated everything in their lives as is done
by wise parents who desire to train children in the cause of
duty and submission. For the peoples of the world in regard
to the secrets of our polity are ever through the ages only
children under age, precisely as are also their governments.

21. As you see, I found our despotism on right and duty: the
right to compel the execution of duty is the direct
obligation of a government which is a father for its
subjects. It has the right of the strong that it may use it
for the benefit of directing humanity towards that order
which is defined by nature, namely, submission. Everything
in the world is in a state of submission, if not to man,
then to circumstances or its own inner character, in all
cases, to what is stronger. And so shall we be this
something stronger for the sake of good.

22. We are obliged without hesitation to sacrifice
individuals, who commit a breach of established order, for
in the exemplary punishment of evil lies a great educational
problem.

23. When the King of Israel sets upon his sacred head the
crown offered him by Europe he will become patriarch of the
world. The indispensable victims offered by him in
consequence of their suitability will never reach the number
of victims offered in the course of centuries by the mania
of magnificence, the emulation between the goy governments.

24. Our King will be in constant communion with the peoples,
making to them from the tribune speeches which fame will in
that same hour distribute over all the world.
