PROTOCOL No. 4
2. Who and what is in a position to overthrow an invisible force? And this is precisely
what our force is. GENTILE masonry blindly serves as a screen for us and our objects,
but the plan of action of our force, even its very abiding-place, remains for the whole
people an unknown mystery.
PROTOCOL No. 5
MASSES LED BY LIES
4. Moreover, the art of directing masses and individuals by means of cleverly
manipulated theory and verbiage, by regulations of life in common and all sorts of other
quirks, in all which the GOYIM understand nothing, belongs likewise to the specialists of
our administrative brain. Reared on analysis, observation, on delicacies of fine
calculation, in this species of skill we have no rivals, any more than we have either in the
drawing up of plans of political actions and solidarity. In this respect the Jesuits alone
might have compared with us, but we have contrived to discredit them in the eyes of the
unthinking mob as an overt organization, while we ourselves all the while have kept our
secret organization in the shade. However, it is probably all the same to the world who is
its sovereign lord, whether the head of Catholicism or our despot of the blood of Zion!
But to us, the Chosen People, it is very far from being a matter of indifference.
PROTOCOL No. 9
2. The words of the liberal, which are in effect the words of our masonic watchword,
namely, "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," will, when we come into our kingdom, be
changed by us into words no longer of a watchword, but only an expression of idealism,
namely, into "The right of liberty, the duty of equality, the ideal of brotherhood." That is
how we shall put it, - and so we shall catch the bull by the horns ... DE FACTO we have
already wiped out every kind of rule except our own, although DE JURE there still
remain a good many of them. Nowadays, if any States raise a protest against us it is only
PRO FORMA at our discretion and by our direction, for THEIR ANTI-SEMITISM IS
INDISPENSABLE TO US FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF OUR LESSER
BRETHREN. I will not enter into further explanations, for this matter has formed the
subject of repeated discussions amongst us.
4. IT IS FROM US THAT THE ALL-ENGULFING TERROR PROCEEDS. WE HAVE
IN OUR SERVICE PERSONS OF ALL OPINIONS, OF ALL DOCTRINES,
RESTORATING MONARCHISTS, DEMAGOGUES, SOCIALISTS, COMMUNISTS,
AND UTOPIAN DREAMERS OF EVERY KIND. We have harnessed them all to the
task: EACH ONE OF THEM ON HIS OWN ACCOUNT IS BORING AWAY AT THE
LAST REMNANTS OF AUTHORITY, IS STRIVING TO OVERTHROW ALL
ESTABLISHED FORM OF ORDER. By these acts all States are in torture; they exhort
to tranquility, are ready to sacrifice everything for peace: BUT WE WILL NOT GIVE
THEM PEACE UNTIL THEY OPENLY ACKNOWLEDGE OUR INTERNATIONAL
SUPER-GOVERNMENT, AND WITH SUBMISSIVENESS.
PROTOCOL No. 9
WE ARE WOLVES
4. The GOYIM are a flock of sheep, and we are their wolves. And you know what
happens when the wolves get hold of the flock? ....
5. There is another reason also why they will close their eyes: for we shall keep
promising them to give back all the liberties we have taken away as soon as we have
quelled the enemies of peace and tamed all parties ....
6. It is not worth to say anything about how long a time they will be kept waiting for this
return of their liberties ....
7. For what purpose then have we invented this whole policy and insinuated it into the
minds of the GOY without giving them any chance to examine its underlying meaning?
For what, indeed, if not in order to obtain in a roundabout way what is for our scattered
tribe unattainable by the direct road? It is this which has served as the basis for our
organization of SECRET MASONRY WHICH IS NOT KNOWN TO, AND AIMS
WHICH ARE NOT EVEN SO MUCH AS SUSPECTED BY, THESE "GOY" CATTLE,
ATTRACTED BY US INTO THE "SHOW" ARMY OF MASONIC LODGES IN
ORDER TO THROW DUST IN THE EYES OF THEIR FELLOWS.
8. God has granted to us, His Chosen People, the gift of the dispersion, and in this which
appears in all eyes to be our weakness, has come forth all our strength, which has now
brought us to the threshold of sovereignty over all the world.
9. There now remains not much more for us to build up upon the foundation we have
laid.
PROTOCOL No. 12
17. Even nowadays, already, to take only the French press, there are forms which reveal
masonic solidarity in acting on the watchword: all organs of the press are bound together
by professional secrecy; like the augurs of old, not one of their numbers will give away
the secret of his sources of information unless it be resolved to make announcement of
them. Not one journalist will venture to betray this secret, for not one of them is ever
admitted to practice literature unless his whole past has some disgraceful sore or other ....
These sores would be immediately revealed. So long as they remain the secret of a few
the prestige of the journalist attacks the majority of the country - the mob follow after
him with enthusiasm.
PROTOCOL No. 14
1. When we come into our kingdom it will be undesirable for us that there should exist
any other religion than ours of the One God with whom our destiny is bound up by our
position as the Chosen People and through whom our same destiny is united with the
destinies of the world. We must therefore sweep away all other forms of belief. If this
gives birth to the atheists whom we see to-day, it will not, being only a transitional stage,
interfere with our views, but will serve as a warning for those generations which will
hearken to our preaching of the religion of Moses, that, by its stable and thoroughly
elaborated system has brought all the peoples of the world into subjection to us. Therein
we shall emphasize its mystical right, on which, as we shall say, all its educative power is
based .... Then at every possible opportunity we shall publish articles in which we shall
make comparisons between our beneficent rule and those of past ages. The blessing of
tranquillity, though it be a tranquillity forcibly brought about by centuries of agitation,
will throw into higher relief the benefits to which we shall point. The errors of the
GOYIM governments will be depicted by us in the most vivid hues. We shall implant
such an abhorrence of them that the peoples will prefer tranquillity in a state of serfdom
to those rights of vaunted freedom which have tortured humanity and exhausted the very
sources of human existence, sources which have been exploited by a mob of rascally
adventurers who know not what they do .... USELESS CHANGES OF FORMS OF
GOVERNMENT TO WHICH WE INSTIGATED THE "GOYIM" WHEN WE WERE
UNDERMINING THEIR STATE STRUCTURES, WILL HAVE SO WEARIED THE
PEOPLES BY THAT TIME THAT THEY WILL PREFER TO SUFFER ANYTHING
UNDER US RATHER THAN RUN THE RISK OF ENDURING AGAIN ALL THE
AGITATIONS AND MISERIES THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH.
PROTOCOL No. 15
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, like Waco? Randy
Weaver? Port Arthur? Oklahoma?) 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
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 ITS 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 high 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 unquestioning 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
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 interests 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 educational basis of human life.
WE SHALL BE CRUEL
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 interrelation 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.
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.
PROTOCOL No. 17
WE SHALL DESTROY THE CLERGY
2. WE HAVE LONG PAST TAKEN CARE TO DISCREDIT THE PRIESTHOOD OF
THE "GOYIM," and thereby to ruin their mission on earth which in these days might still
be a great hindrance to us. Day by day its influence on the peoples of the world is falling
lower. FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE HAS BEEN DECLARED EVERYWHERE, SO
THAT NOW ONLY YEARS DIVIDE US FROM THE MOMENT OF THE
COMPLETE WRECKING OF THAT CHRISTIAN RELIGION: as to other religions we
shall have still less difficulty in dealing with them, but it would be premature to speak of
this now. We shall set clericalism and clericals into such narrow frames as to make their
influence move in retrogressive proportion to its former progress.
3. When the time comes finally to destroy the papal court the finger of an invisible hand
will point the nations towards this court. When, however, the nations fling themselves
upon it, we shall come forward in the guise of its defenders as if to save excessive
bloodshed. By this diversion we shall penetrate to its very bowels and be sure we shall
never come out again until we have gnawed through the entire strength of this place.
4. THE KING OF THE JEWS WILL BE THE REAL POPE OF THE UNIVERSE, THE
PATRIARCH OF THE INTERNATIONAL CHURCH
5. But, IN THE MEANTIME, while we are re-educating youth in new traditional
religions and afterwards in ours, WE SHALL NOT OVERTLY LAY A FINGER ON
EXISTING CHURCHES, BUT WE SHALL FIGHT AGAINST THEM BY CRITICISM
CALCULATED TO PRODUCE SCHISM . . .
6. In general, then, our contemporary press will continue to CONVICT State affairs,
religions, incapacities of the GOYIM, always using the most unprincipled expressions in
order by every means to lower their prestige in the manner which can only be practiced
by the genius of our gifted tribe . . . (Calling the Jim Jones massacre in Guyana a mass
suicide, not a C.I.A./MK-ULTRA/U.S. Government massacre? Denying the massacre of
the Branch Dravidian sect at Waco, Texas, was a needless and deliberate massacre by
the B.A.T.F./F.B.I/C.I.A/U.S. Government).
9. JUST AS NOWADAYS OUR BRETHREN, ARE OBLIGED AT THEIR OWN RISK
TO DENOUNCE TO THE KAHAL APOSTATES OF THEIR OWN FAMILY or
members who have been noticed doing anything in opposition to the KAHAL, SO IN
OUR KINGDOM OVER ALL THE WORLD IT WILL BE OBLIGATORY FOR ALL
OUR SUBJECTS TO OBSERVE THE DUTY OF SERVICE TO THE STATE IN THIS
DIRECTION.
PROTOCOL No. 20
21. The present issue of money in general does not correspond with the requirements per
head, and cannot therefore satisfy all the needs of the workers. The issue of money ought
to correspond with the growth of population and thereby children also must absolutely be
reckoned as consumers of currency from the day of their birth. The revision of issue is a
material question for the whole world.
22. YOU ARE AWARE THAT THE GOLD STANDARD HAS BEEN THE RUIN OF
THE STATES WHICH ADOPTED IT, FOR IT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO SATISFY
THE DEMANDS FOR MONEY, THE MORE SO THAT WE HAVE REMOVED
GOLD FROM CIRCULATION AS FAR AS POSSIBLE.
TYRANNY OF USURY
33. If the superficiality of GOY kings on their thrones in regard to State affairs and the
venality of ministers or the want of understanding of financial matters on the part of other
ruling persons have made their countries debtors to our treasuries to amounts quite
impossible to pay it has not been accomplished without, on our part, heavy expenditure of
trouble and money.
34. Stagnation of money will not be allowed by us and therefore there will be no State
interest-bearing paper, except a one per-cent series, so that there will be no payment of
interest to leeches that suck all the strength out of the State. The right to issue interestbearing
paper will be given exclusively to industrial companies who find no difficulty in
paying interest out of profits, whereas the State does not make interest on borrowed
money like these companies, for the State borrows to spend and not to use in operations.
(Now we know why President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 when he refused to
borrow any more of the "Bank Notes" from the bankers of the Federal Reserve Bank and
began circulating non-interest bearing "Notes" of the "United States of America"!!!).
PROTOCOL No. 21
10. When we ascend the throne of the world all these financial and similar shifts, as being
not in accord with our interests, will be swept away so as not to leave a trace, as also will
be destroyed all money markets, since we shall not allow the prestige of our power to be
shaken by fluctuations of prices set upon our values, which we shall announce by law at
the price which represents their full worth without any possibility of lowering or raising.
(Raising gives the pretext for lowering, which indeed was where we made a beginning in
relation to the values of the GOYIM).
11. We shall replace the money markets by grandiose government credit institutions, the
object of which will be to fix the price of industrial values in accordance with
government views. These institutions will be in a position to fling upon the market five
hundred millions of industrial paper in one day, or to buy up for the same amount. In this
way all industrial undertakings will come into dependence upon us. You may imagine for
yourselves what immense power we shall thereby secure for ourselves ....
PROTOCOL No. 22
3. Surely there is no need to seek further proof that our rule is predestined by God?
Surely we shall not fail with such wealth to prove that all that evil which for so many
centuries we have had to commit has served at the end of ends the cause of true wellbeing
- the bringing of everything into order? Though it be even by the exercise of some
violence, yet all the same it will be established. (The motto of the Freemasons - "Out of
Chaos, Order"). We shall contrive to prove that we are benefactors who have restored to
the rent and mangled earth the true good and also freedom of the person, and therewith
we shall enable it to be enjoyed in peace and quiet, with proper dignity of relations, on
the condition, of course, of strict observance of the laws established by us. We shall make
plain therewith that freedom does not consist in dissipation and in the right of unbridled
license any more than the dignity and force of a man do not consist in the right of
everyone to promulgate destructive principles in the nature of freedom of conscience,
equality and the like, that freedom of the person in no wise consists in the right to agitate
oneself and others by abominable speeches before disorderly mobs, and that true freedom
consists in the inviolability of the person who honorably and strictly observes all the laws
of life in common, that human dignity is wrapped up in consciousness of the rights and
also of the absence of rights of each, and not wholly and solely in fantastic imaginings
about the subject of one's EGO.
PROTOCOL No. 23
1. That the peoples may become accustomed to obedience it is necessary to inculcate
lessons of humility and therefore to reduce the production of articles of luxury. By this
we shall improve morals which have been debased by emulation in the sphere of luxury.
We shall re-establish small master production which will mean laying a mine under the
private capital of manufactures. This is indispensable also for the reason that
manufacturers on the grand scale often move, though not always consciously, the
thoughts of the masses in directions against the government. A people of small masters
knows nothing of unemployment and this binds him closely with existing order, and
consequently with the firmness of authority. For us its part will have been played out the
moment authority is transferred into our hands. Drunkenness also will be prohibited by
law and punishable as a crime against the humanness of man who is turned into a brute
under the influence of alcohol.
2. Subjects, I repeat once more, give blind obedience only to the strong hand which is
absolutely independent of them, for in it they feel the sword of defense and support
against social scourges .... What do they want with an angelic spirit in a king? What they
have to see in him is the personification of force and power.
3. The supreme lord who will replace all now existing rulers, dragging in their existence
among societies demoralized by us, societies that have denied even the authority of God,
from whose midst breeds out on all sides the fire of anarchy, must first of all proceed to
quench this all-devouring flame. Therefore he will be obliged to kill off those existing
societies, though he should drench them with his own blood, that he may resurrect them
again in the form of regularly organized troops fighting consciously with every kind of
infection that may cover the body of the State with sores.
4. This Chosen One of God is chosen from above to demolish the senseless forces moved
by instinct and not reason, by brutishness and not humanness. These forces now triumph
in manifestations of robbery and every kind of violence under the mask of principles of
freedom and rights. They have overthrown all forms of social order to erect on the ruins
the throne of the King of the Jews; but their part will be played out the moment he enters
into his kingdom. Then it will be necessary to sweep them away from his path, on which
must be left no knot, no splinter.
5. Then will it be possible for us to say to the peoples of the world: "Give thanks to God
and bow the knee before him who bears on his front the seal of the predestination of man,
to which God himself has led his star that none other but Him might free us from all the
before-mentioned forces and evils".
PROTOCOL No. 24
1. I pass now to the method of confirming the dynastic roots of King David to the last
strata of the earth.
2. This confirmation will first and foremost be included in that which to this day has
rested the force of conservatism by our learned elders of the conduct of the affairs of the
world, in the directing of the education of thought of all humanity.
3. Certain members of the seed of David will prepare the kings and their heirs, selecting
not by right of heritage but by eminent capacities, inducting them into the most secret
mysteries of the political, into schemes of government, but providing always that none
may come to knowledge of the secrets. The object of this mode of action is that all may
know that government cannot be entrusted to those who have not been inducted into the
secret places of its art ....
4. To these persons only will be taught the practical application of the aforenamed plans
by comparison of the experiences of many centuries, all the observations on the politicoeconomic
moves and social sciences - in a word, all the spirit of laws which have been
unshakably established by nature herself for the regulation of the relations of humanity.
5. Direct heirs will often be set aside from ascending the throne if in their time of training
they exhibit frivolity, softness and other qualities that are the ruin of authority, which
render them incapable of governing and in themselves dangerous for kingly office.
6. Only those who are unconditionally capable for firm, even if it be to cruelty, direct rule
will receive the reins of rule from our learned elders.
7. In case of falling sick with weakness of will or other form of incapacity. kings must by
law hand over the reins of rule to new and capable hands.
8. The king's plan of action for the current moment, and all the more so for the future,
will be unknown, even to those who are called his closest counselors.
KING OF THE JEWS
9. Only the king and the three who stood sponsor for him will know what is coming.
10. In the person of the king who with unbending will is master of himself and of
humanity all will discern as it were fate with its mysterious ways. None will know what
the king wishes to attain by his dispositions, and therefore none will dare to stand across
an unknown path.
11. It is understood that the brain reservoir of the king must correspond in capacity to the
plan of government it has to contain. It is for this reason that he will ascend the throne not
otherwise than after examination of his mind by the aforesaid learned elders.
12. That the people may know and love their king, it is indispensable for him to converse
in the market-places with his people. This ensures the necessary clinching of the two
forces which are now divided one from another by us by the terror.
13. This terror was indispensable for us till the time comes for both these forces
separately to fall under our influence.
14. The king of the Jews must not be at the mercy of his passions, and especially of
sensuality: on no side of his character must he give brute instincts power over his mind.
Sensuality worse than all else disorganizes the capacities of the mind and clearness of
views, distracting the thoughts to the worst and most brutal side of human activity.
15. The prop of humanity in the person of the supreme lord of all the world of the holy
seed of David must sacrifice to his people all personal inclinations.
16. Our supreme lord must be of an exemplary irreproachability.
Signed by the representative of Zion, of the 33rd Degree
