discussion nor opinions are desired. ("While preaching liberalism to the

Gentiles, we shall hold our own people and our own agents in

unquestioning obedience." "The-scheme of administration must emanate

from a single brain …. Therefore, we may know the plan of action, but

we must not discuss it, lest we destroy its unique character… The

inspired work of our leader therefore must not be thrown before a crowd

to be torn to pieces, or even before a limited group.")

Moreover, taking the Protocols at their face value, ·it is evident that

the program outlined in these lectures was not a new one at the time the

lectures were given. There is no evidence of · its being of recent

arrangement. There is almost the tone of a tradition, or a religion, in it

all, as if it had been handed down from generation to generation through

the medium of specially trusted and initiated men. There is no note of

new discovery or fresh enthusiasm in it, but the certitude and calmness

of facts long known and policies long confirmed by experiment.

The point of age of the program is touched upon at least'twice in the

Protocols ~emselvcs. In the FirSt Protocol this paragraph appears:

"Already in ancient times we were the first to shout the words

'Liberty, Equality, Fraternity' among the people. These words have

been repeated many times since by unconscious pollparrots, flocking

from all sides to this bait, with which they hilVe ·ruined the

prosperity of the world and true personal freedom·.. : The

presumably clever and intelligent Gentiles did' not understand the .

symbolism of the uttered words; did not observe their contradiction · ·

in meaning; did not notice that in nature there is no equality ·:.. ."

The other reference to the program'finality is found in the Thineeiuh

Protocol:

"Questions of policy, however, are permitted to no one except those

who have originated the policy and have directed it for many ·

centuries."

Can this be a reference to a · secret Jewish · Sanhedrin,

self-perpetuating within a certain Jewish caste from generation to

generation? Again, it must be said that the originators and directors here
