This publication of the Learned Elders of Zion, it is simply being quoted by the author, the author did not write this article, the author opinion does not reflect any bias polarity toward this article, the posting of this protocol number Twelve of Twenty Four, it is simply to understand the worldly views of the various beliefs systems of the different races on this planet to broaden ones understanding and more importantly to understand one self through the eyes and opinion of others feelings and their views of this world.
As for the old saying goes, know thy self.

One must keep in mind that Light and darkness they exist side by side, at the end of the posting of all the protocols one will be able to discern which is which.
"PROTOCOLS OF THE MEETINGS OF THE
LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION.
PROTOCOL No. 12
1. The word "freedom," which can be interpreted in various ways, is defined by us as follows -
2. Freedom is the right to do what which the law allows. This interpretation of the word will at the
proper time be of service to us, because all freedom will thus be in our hands, since the laws will
abolish or create only that which is desirable for us according to the aforesaid program.
3. We shall deal with the press in the following way: what is the part played by the press to-day? It
serves to excite and inflame those passions which are needed for our purpose or else it serves selfish
ends of parties. It is often vapid, unjust, mendacious, and the majority of the public have not the
slightest idea what ends the press really serves. We shall saddle and bridle it with a tight curb: we shall
do the same also with all productions of the printing press, for where would be the sense of getting rid
of the attacks of the press if we remain targets for pamphlets and books? The produce of publicity,
which nowadays is a source of heavy expense owing to the necessity of censoring it, will be turned by
us into a very lucrative source of income to our State: we shall law on it a special stamp tax and require
deposits of caution-money before permitting the establishment of any organ of the press or of printing
offices; these will then have to guarantee our government against any kind of attack on the part of the
press. For any attempt to attack us, if such still be possible, we shall inflict fines without mercy. Such
measures as stamp tax, deposit of caution-money and fines secured by these deposits, will bring in a
huge income to the government. It is true that party organs might not spare money for the sake of
publicity, but these we shall shut up at the second attack upon us. No one shall with impunity lay a
finger on the aureole of our government infallibility. The pretext for stopping any publication will be
the alleged plea that it is agitating the public mind without occasion or justification. I BEG YOU TO
NOTE THAT AMONG THOSE MAKING ATTACKS UPON US WILL ALSO BE ORGANS
ESTABLISHED BY US, BUT THEY WILL ATTACK EXCLUSIVELY POINTS THAT WE HAVE PRE-
DETERMINED TO ALTER.
WE CONTROL THE PRESS
4. NOT A SINGLE ANNOUNCEMENT WILL REACH THE PUBLIC WITHOUT OUR CONTROL.
Even now this is already being attained by us inasmuch as all news items are received by a few
agencies, in whose offices they are focused from all parts of the world. These agencies will then be
already entirely ours and will give publicity only to what we dictate to them.
5. If already now we have contrived to possess ourselves of the minds of the GOY communities to
such an extent the they all come near looking upon the events of the world through the colored glasses
of those spectacles we are setting astride their noses; if already now there is not a single State where
there exist for us any barriers to admittance into what GOY stupidity calls State secrets: what will our
positions be then, when we shall be acknowledged supreme lords of the world in the person of our king
of all the world ....
6. Let us turn again to the FUTURE OF THE PRINTING PRESS. Every one desirous of being a
publisher, librarian, or printer, will be obliged to provide himself with the diploma instituted
therefore, which, in case of any fault, will be immediately impounded. With such measures THE
INSTRUMENT OF THOUGHT WILL BECOME AN EDUCATIVE MEANS ON THE HANDS OF OUR GOVERNMENT, WHICH WILL NO LONGER ALLOW THE MASS OF THE NATION TO BE LED
ASTRAY IN BY-WAYS AND FANTASIES ABOUT THE BLESSINGS OF PROGRESS. Is there any one
of us who does not know that these phantom blessings are the direct roads to foolish imaginings which
give birth to anarchical relations of men among themselves and towards authority, because progress,
or rather the idea of progress, has introduced the conception of every kind of emancipation, but has
failed to establish its limits .... All the so-called liberals are anarchists, if not in fact, at any rate in
thought. Every one of them in hunting after phantoms of freedom, and falling exclusively into license,
that is, into the anarchy of protest for the sake of protest ....
FREE PRESS DESTROYED
7. We turn to the periodical press. We shall impose on it, as on all printed matter, stamp taxes per
sheet and deposits of caution- money, and books of less than 30 sheets will pay double. We shall
reckon them as pamphlets in order, on the one hand, to reduce the number of magazines, which are
the worst form of printed poison, and, on the other, in order that this measure may force writers into
such lengthy productions that they will be little read, especially as they will be costly. At the same time
what we shall publish ourselves to influence mental development in the direction laid down for our
profit will be cheap and will be read voraciously. The tax will bring vapid literary ambitions within
bounds and the liability to penalties will make literary men dependent upon us. And if there should be
any found who are desirous of writing against us, they will not find any person eager to print their
productions in print the publisher or printer will have to apply to the authorities for permission to do
so. Thus we shall know beforehand of all tricks preparing against us and shall nullify them by getting
ahead with explanations on the subject treated of.
8. Literature and journalism are two of the most important educative forces, and therefore our
government will become proprietor of the majority of the journals. This will neutralize the injurious
influence of the privately-owned press and will put us in possession of a tremendous influence upon
the public mind .... If we give permits for ten journals, we shall ourselves found thirty, and so on in the
same proportion. This, however, must in no wise be suspected by the public. For which reason all
journals published by us will be of the most opposite, in appearance, tendencies and opinions, thereby
creating confidence in us and bringing over to us quite unsuspicious opponents, who will thus fall into
our trap and be rendered harmless.
9. In the front rank will stand organs of an official character. They will always stand guard over our
interests, and therefore their influence will be comparatively insignificant.
10. In the second rank will be the semi-official organs, whose part it will be to attack the tepid and
indifferent.
11. In the third rank we shall set up our own, to all appearance, off position, which, in at least one of
its organs, will present what looks like the very antipodes to us. Our real opponents at heart will accept
this simulated opposition as their own and will show us their cards.
12. All our newspapers will be of all possible complexions - aristocratic, republican, revolutionary,
even anarchical - for so long, of course, as the constitution exists .... Like the Indian idol "Vishnu" they
will have a hundred hands, and every one of them will have a finger on any one of the public opinions
as required. When a pulse quickens these hands will lead opinion in the direction of our aims, for an
excited patient loses all power of judgment and easily yields to suggestion. Those fools who will think
they are repeating the opinion of a newspaper of their own camp will be repeating our opinion or any
opinion that seems desirable for us. In the vain belief that they are following the organ of their party
they will, in fact, follow the flag which we hang out for them.
13. In order to direct our newspaper militia in this sense we must take special and minute care in
organizing this matter. Under the title of central department of the press we shall institute literary
gatherings at which our agents will without attracting attention issue the orders and watchwords of the
day. By discussing and controverting, but always superficially, without touching the essence of the
matter, our organs will carry on a sham fight fusillade with the official newspapers solely for the
purpose of giving occasion for us to express ourselves more fully than could well be done from the
outset in official announcements, whenever, of course, that is to our advantage.
14. THESE ATTACKS UPON US WILL ALSO SERVE ANOTHER PURPOSE, NAMELY, THAT OUR
SUBJECTS WILL BE CONVINCED TO THE EXISTENCE OF FULL FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND SO
GIVE OUR AGENTS AN OCCASION TO AFFIRM THAT ALL ORGANS WHICH OPPOSE US ARE
EMPTY BABBLERS, since they are incapable of finding any substantial objections to our orders.
ONLY LIES PRINTED
15. Methods of organization like these, imperceptible to the public eye but absolutely sure, are the
best calculated to succeed in bringing the attention and the confidence of the public to the side of our
government. Thanks to such methods we shall be in a position as from time to time may be required,
to excite or to tranquilize the public mind on political questions, to persuade or to confuse, printing
now truth, now lies, facts or their contradictions, according as they may be well or ill received, always
very cautiously feeling our ground before stepping upon it .... WE SHALL HAVE A SURE TRIUMPH
OVER OUR OPPONENTS SINCE THEY WILL NOT HAVE AT THEIR DISPOSITION ORGANS OF
THE PRESS IN WHICH THEY CAN GIVE FULL AND FINAL EXPRESSION TO THEIR VIEWS owing
to the aforesaid methods of dealing with the press. We shall not even need to refute them except very
superficially.
16. Trial shots like these, fired by us in the third rank of our press, in case of need, will be
energetically refuted by us in our semi-official organs.
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.
18. Our calculations are especially extended to the provinces. It is indispensable for us to inflame
there those hopes and impulses with which we could at any moment fall upon the capital, and we shall
represent to the capitals that these expressions are the independent hopes and impulses of the
provinces. Naturally, the source of them will be always one and the same - ours. WHAT WE NEED IS
THAT, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS WE ARE IN THE PLENITUDE POWER, THE CAPITALS SHOULD
FIND THEMSELVES STIFLED BY THE PROVINCIAL OPINION OF THE NATIONS, I.E., OF A MAJORITY ARRANGED BY OUR AGENTUR. What we need is that at the psychological moment the
capitals should not be in a position to discuss an accomplished fact for the simple reason, if for no
other, that it has been accepted by the public opinion of a majority in the provinces. 19. WHEN WE
ARE IN THE PERIOD OF THE NEW REGIME TRANSITIONAL TO THAT OF OUR ASSUMPTION
OF FULL SOVEREIGNTY WE MUST NOT ADMIT ANY REVELATION BY THE PRESS OF ANY
FORM OF PUBLIC DISHONESTY; IT IS NECESSARY THAT THE NEW REGIME SHOULD BE
THOUGHT TO HAVE SO PERFECTLY CONTENDED EVERYBODY THAT EVEN CRIMINALITY HAS
DISAPPEARED ... Cases of the manifestation of criminality should remain known only to their victims
and to chance witnesses - no more.
