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

An Introduction to the "Jewish Protocols• 47

referred to cannot be at present any ruling caste, for all that the program

contemplates is directly opposed to the interests of such a caste.

It cannot refer to any national aristocratic group, like the Junkers of

Germany, for the methods which are proposed are the very ones which

would render powerless such a group. It cannot refer to any but a people

who have no open government, who have everything to gain and nothing

to lose, and who can keep themselves intact amid a crumbling world.

There is only one group that answers that description.

GENTILE STUPIDITY

T he criticisms which these Protocols pass upon the Gentiles for their

stupidity are just. It is impossible to disagree with a single item in

the Protocol's description of Gentile mentality and venality. Even the

most astute of the Gentile thinkers have been fooled into receiving as the

motions of progress what has only been insinuated into the common,

human mind by the most insidious systems of propaganda. It is true that

here and there a thinker has arisen to say that science so-called was not

science at all. It is true that here and there a thinker has arisen to say that

the so-called economic laws both of conservatives and radicals were not

laws at all, but artificial inventions . It is true that the recent debauch of

luxury and extravagance was not due to the natural impulses of the people

at ail, but was systematically stimulated, foisted upon them by design.

It is true that a few have discerned that more than half of what passes for

"public opinion" is merely hired applause and booing and has never

impressed the public mind.

But even with these clues here and there, for the most part

disregarded, there has never been enough continuity and collaboration

between those who were awake to follow all the clues to their source.

The chief explanation of the hold which the Protocols have had on many

of the leading statesmen of the world for several decades is that lhey

explain whence all the false influences come and what their purpose is.

It is now time for the people to know. Whether the Protocols are judged

as proving anything concerning the Jews or not, they constitute an

education in the way the masses are turned about like sheep by influences

which they do not understand. It is certain that once the principles of _!he

Protocols are known widely and understood by the people, the criticism

which they now rightly make of the Gentile mind will no longer hold

good ~

DIVIDE AND RULE

I s there likelihood of the program of the Protocols being carried

through to success? The program is successful already. In many of its

most important phases it is a reality:· But this need not ·cause alarm, for

the chief weapon to be used against such a program, both in its completed

and uncompleted parts; . is clear publiCicy. Let the people laiow.

Arousing the people, alarming the people, appealing to the passions of

the people is the method of the pla:n outlined in the Protocols . . The

antidote is merely ENLIGHTENING the people.

The Protocols are found upon analysis to contain four main

divisions: These are not ma'rked in the structUr~ of the documents but in

the thought. There is a fifth, if the object of it all is included, but this

object is assumed throughout the Protocols, being only here and there

defmed in terms . And the four main divisions. are· great trunks from

which there are numerous branches..' · ·-' · '

There is first what is alleged to be the Jewish conception of human

nature, by which is meant Gentile nature. Secondly, there is the account

of ·what has 'already been accomplished in the ·realization of the

program-things already done. Thirdly, there is a complete instruction in

the methods to be used to get the program still further fulfilled. Fourth,

the Protocols contain in detail some of the achievements which: at the

time these words were uttered, were yet to be made . Some of these

desired things have been achieved in the meantime, for it should be borne

in mind that between 1905 and the present time there have been set in

motion many powerful influences to attain certain ends. . The achievement

to be made was the break up of Gentile solidarity and strength, expedited,

of course, by the gr~a t wars in Europe. The method expounded is one

of disintegration. Break up the people into parties and sects. Sow abroad

the most promising and utopian of ideas and you will do two things: you

will always find a group to cling to each idea you throw out; and you will

find this partisanship dividing and estranging the various groups. The.. . . .

authors of the Protocols show in detail how this is to be done. Not one

idea, but a mass of ideas are to be thrown out, and there is to be no unity
