"PROTOCOLS OF THE MEETINGS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION
PROTOCOL No. 1
1. ....Putting aside fine phrases we shall speak of the significance of each thought: by comparisons
and deductions we shall throw light upon surrounding facts.
2. What I am about to set forth, then, is our system from the two points of view, that of ourselves and
that of the GOYIM [i.e., non- Jews]
3. It must be noted that men with bad instincts are more in number than the good, and therefore the
best results in governing them are attained by violence and terrorisation, and not by academic
discussions. Every man aims at power, everyone would like to become a dictator if only he could, and
rare indeed are the men who would not be willing to sacrifice the welfare of all for the sake of securing
their own welfare.
4. What has restrained the beasts of prey who are called men? What has served for their guidance
hitherto?
5. In the beginnings of the structure of society, they were subjected to brutal and blind force; after
words - to Law, which is the same force, only disguised. I draw the conclusion that by the law of nature
right lies in force.
6. Political freedom is an idea but not a fact. This idea one must know how to apply whenever it
appears necessary with this bait of an idea to attract the masses of the people to one's party for the
purpose of crushing another who is in authority. This task is rendered easier of the opponent has
himself been infected with the idea of freedom, SO-CALLED LIBERALISM, and, for the sake of an
idea, is willing to yield some of his power. It is precisely here that the triumph of our theory appears;
the slackened reins of government are immediately, by the law of life, caught up and gathered together
by a new hand, because the blind might of the nation cannot for one single day exist without guidance,
and the new authority merely fits into the place of the old already weakened by liberalism.
GOLD
7. In our day the power which has replaced that of the rulers who were liberal is the power of Gold.
Time was when Faith ruled. The idea of freedom is impossible of realization because no one knows
how to use it with moderation. It is enough to hand over a people to self-government for a certain
length of time for that people to be turned into a disorganized mob. From that moment on we get
internecine strife which soon develops into battles between classes, in the midst of which States burn
down and their importance is reduced to that of a heap of ashes.
8. Whether a State exhausts itself in its own convulsions, whether its internal discord brings it under
the power of external foes - in any case it can be accounted irretrievable lost: IT IS IN OUR POWER.
The despotism of Capital, which is entirely in our hands, reaches out to it a straw that the State, willy-
nilly, must take hold of: if not - it goes to the bottom.
9. Should anyone of a liberal mind say that such reflections as the above are immoral, I would put
the following questions: If every State has two foes and if in regard to the external foe it is allowed and
not considered immoral to use every manner and art of conflict, as for example to keep the enemy in
ignorance of plans of attack and defense, to attack him by night or in superior numbers, then in what
way can the same means in regard to a worse foe, the destroyer of the structure of society and the
commonweal, be called immoral and not permissible?
10. Is it possible for any sound logical mind to hope with any success to guide crowds by the aid of
reasonable counsels and arguments, when any objection or contradiction, senseless though it may be,
can be made and when such objection may find more favor with the people, whose powers of reasoning
are superficial? Men in masses and the men of the masses, being guided solely by petty passions, paltry
beliefs, traditions and sentimental theorems, fall a prey to party dissension, which hinders any kind of
agreement even on the basis of a perfectly reasonable argument. Every resolution of a crowd depends
upon a chance or packed majority, which, in its ignorance of political secrets, puts forth some
ridiculous resolution that lays in the administration a seed of anarchy.
11. The political has nothing in common with the moral. The ruler who is governed by the moral is
not a skilled politician, and is therefore unstable on his throne. He who wishes to rule must have
recourse both to cunning and to make-believe. Great national qualities, like frankness and honesty, are
vices in politics, for they bring down rulers from their thrones more effectively and more certainly than
the most powerful enemy. Such qualities must be the attributes of the kingdoms of the GOYIM, but we
must in no wise be guided by them.
MIGHT IS RIGHT
12. Our right lies in force. The word "right" is an abstract thought and proved by nothing. The word
means no more than: Give me what I want in order that thereby I may have a proof that I am stronger than you.
13. Where does right begin? Where does it end?
14. In any State in which there is a bad organization of authority, an impersonality of laws and of the
rulers who have lost their personality amid the flood of rights ever multiplying out of liberalism, I find
a new right - to attack by the right of the strong, and to scatter to the winds all existing forces of order
and regulation, to reconstruct all institutions and to become the sovereign lord of those who have left
to us the rights of their power by laying them down voluntarily in their liberalism.
15. Our power in the present tottering condition of all forms of power will be more invincible than
any other, because it will remain invisible until the moment when it has gained such strength that no
cunning can any longer undermine it.
16. Out of the temporary evil we are now compelled to commit will emerge the good of an
unshakable rule, which will restore the regular course of the machinery of the national life, brought to
naught by liberalism. The result justifies the means. Let us, however, in our plans, direct our attention
not so much to what is good and moral as to what is necessary and useful.
17. Before us is a plan in which is laid down strategically the line from which we cannot deviate
without running the risk of seeing the labor of many centuries brought to naught.
18. In order to elaborate satisfactory forms of action it is necessary to have regard to the rascality,
the slackness, the instability of the mob, its lack of capacity to understand and respect the conditions
of its own life, or its own welfare. It must be understood that the might of a mob is blind, senseless and
unreasoning force ever at the mercy of a suggestion from any side. The blind cannot lead the blind
without bringing them into the abyss; consequently, members of the mob, upstarts from the people
even though they should be as a genius for wisdom, yet having no understanding of the political,
cannot come forward as leaders of the mob without bringing the whole nation to ruin.
19. Only one trained from childhood for independent rule can have understanding of the words that
can be made up of the political alphabet.
20. A people left to itself, i.e., to upstarts from its midst, brings itself to ruin by party dissensions
excited by the pursuit of power and honors and the disorders arising therefrom. Is it possible for the
masses of the people calmly and without petty jealousies to form judgment, to deal with the affairs of
the country, which cannot be mixed up with personal interest? Can they defend themselves from an
external foe? It is unthinkable; for a plan broken up into as many parts as there are heads in the mob,
loses all homogeneity, and thereby becomes unintelligible and impossible of execution.
WE ARE DESPOTS
21. It is only with a despotic ruler that plans can be elaborated extensively and clearly in such a way
as to distribute the whole properly among the several parts of the machinery of the State: from this the
conclusion is inevitable that a satisfactory form of government for any country is one that concentrates
in the hands of one responsible person. Without an absolute despotism there can be no existence for
civilization which is carried on not by the masses but by their guide, whosoever that person may be.
The mob is savage, and displays its savagery at every opportunity. The moment the mob seizes
freedom in its hands it quickly turns to anarchy, which in itself is the highest degree of savagery.
22. Behold the alcoholic animals, bemused with drink, the right to an immoderate use of which
comes along with freedom. It is not for us and ours to walk that road. The peoples of the GOYIM are
bemused with alcoholic liquors; their youth has grown stupid on classicism and from early immorality,
into which it has been inducted by our special agents - by tutors, lackeys, governesses in the houses of
the wealthy, by clerks and others, by our women in the places of dissipation frequented by the GOYIM.
In the number of these last I count also the so-called "society ladies," voluntary followers of the others
in corruption and luxury.
23. Our countersign is - Force and Make-believe. Only force conquers in political affairs, especially if
it be concealed in the talents essential to statesmen. Violence must be the principle, and cunning and
make-believe the rule for governments which do not want to lay down their crowns at the feet of agents
of some new power. This evil is the one and only means to attain the end, the good. Therefore we must
not stop at bribery, deceit and treachery when they should serve towards the attainment of our end. In
politics one must know how to seize the property of others without hesitation if by it we secure
submission and sovereignty.
24. Our State, marching along the path of peaceful conquest, has the right to replace the horrors of
war by less noticeable and more satisfactory sentences of death, necessary to maintain the terror which
tends to produce blind submission. Just but merciless severity is the greatest factor of strength in the
State: not only for the sake of gain but also in the name of duty, for the sake of victory, we must keep to
the programme of violence and make-believe. The doctrine of squaring accounts is precisely as strong
as the means of which it makes use. Therefore it is not so much by the means themselves as by the
doctrine of severity that we shall triumph and bring all governments into subjection to our super-
government. It is enough for them to know that we are too merciless for all disobedience to cease.
WE SHALL END LIBERTY
25. Far back in ancient times we were the first to cry among the masses of the people the words
"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," words many times repeated since these days by stupid poll- parrots
who, from all sides around, flew down upon these baits and with them carried away the well-being of
the world, true freedom of the individual, formerly so well guarded against the pressure of the mob.
The would-be wise men of the GOYIM, the intellectuals, could not make anything out of the uttered
words in their abstractedness; did not see that in nature there is no equality, cannot be freedom: that
Nature herself has established inequality of minds, of characters, and capacities, just as immutably as
she has established subordination to her laws: never stopped to think that the mob is a blind thing,
that upstarts elected from among it to bear rule are, in regard to the political, the same blind men as
the mob itself, that the adept, though he be a fool, can yet rule, whereas the non-adept, even if he were
a genius, understands nothing in the political - to all those things the GOYIM paid no regard; yet all
the time it was based upon these things that dynastic rule rested: the father passed on to the son a
knowledge of the course of political affairs in such wise that none should know it but members of the
dynasty and none could betray it to the governed. As time went on, the meaning of the dynastic
transference of the true position of affairs in the political was lost, and this aided the success of our
cause.
26. In all corners of the earth the words "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," brought to our ranks, thanks
to our blind agents, whole legions who bore our banners with enthusiasm. And all the time these
words were canker-worms at work boring into the well-being of the GOYIM, putting an end
everywhere to peace, quiet, solidarity and destroying all the foundations of the GOYA States. As you
will see later, this helped us to our triumph: it gave us the possibility, among other things, of getting
into our hands the master card - the destruction of the privileges, or in other words of the very
existence of the aristocracy of the GOYIM, that class which was the only defense peoples and countries
had against us. On the ruins of the eternal and genealogical aristocracy of the GOYIM we have set up
the aristocracy of our educated class headed by the aristocracy of money. The qualifications for this
aristocracy we have established in wealth, which is dependent upon us, and in knowledge, for which
our learned elders provide the motive force.
27. Our triumph has been rendered easier by the fact that in our relations with the men, whom we
wanted, we have always worked upon the most sensitive chords of the human mind, upon the cash
account, upon the cupidity, upon the insatiability for material needs of man; and each one of these
human weaknesses, taken alone, is sufficient to paralyze initiative, for it hands over the will of men to
the disposition of him who has bought their activities.
28. The abstraction of freedom has enabled us to persuade the mob in all countries that their
government is nothing but the steward of the people who are the owners of the country, and that the
steward may be replaced like a worn-out glove.
29. It is this possibility of replacing the representatives of the people which has placed at our
disposal, and, as it were, given us the power of appointment."
