1. To-day I begin with a repetition of what I said
before, and I BEG YOU TO BEAR IN MIND THAT GOVERNMENTS AND PEOPLE ARE
CONTENT IN THE POLITICAL WITH OUTSIDE APPEARANCES. And how, indeed, are
the GOYIM to perceive the underlying meaning of things when their
representatives give the best of their energies to enjoying themselves?
For our policy it is of the greatest importance to take cognizance of this
detail; it will be of assistance to us when we come to consider the
division of authority of property, of the dwelling, of taxation (the
idea of concealed taxes), of the reflex force of the laws. All these
questions are such as ought not to be touched upon directly and openly
before the people. In cases where it is indispensable to touch upon them
they must not be categorically named, it must merely be declared without
detailed exposition that the principles of contemporary law are
acknowledged by us. The reason of keeping silence in this respect is that
by not naming a principle we leave ourselves freedom of action, to drop
this or that out of it without attracting notice; if they were all
categorically named they would all appear to have been already given.
2. The mob cherishes a special affection and respect for
the geniuses of political power and accepts all their deeds of violence
with the admiring response: "rascally, well, yes, it is rascally, but
it's clever! ... a trick, if you like, but how craftily played, how
magnificently done, what impudent audacity!" ...
OUR GOAL - WORLD POWER
3. We count upon attracting all nations to the task of
erecting the new fundamental structure, the project for which has been
drawn up by us. This is why, before everything, it is indispensable for us
to arm ourselves and to store up in ourselves that absolutely reckless
audacity and irresistible might of the spirit which in the person of our
active workers will break down all hindrances on our way.
4. WHEN WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED OUR COUP D'ETAT WE SHALL
SAY THEN TO THE VARIOUS PEOPLES: "EVERYTHING HAS GONE TERRIBLY BADLY,
ALL HAVE BEEN WORN OUT WITH SUFFERING. WE ARE DESTROYING THE CAUSES OF
YOUR TORMENT - NATIONALITIES, FRONTIERS, DIFFERENCES OF COINAGES. YOU ARE
AT LIBERTY, OF COURSE, TO PRONOUNCE SENTENCE UPON US, BUT CAN IT POSSIBLY
BE A JUST ONE IF IT IS CONFIRMED BY YOU BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY TRIAL OF WHAT
WE ARE OFFERING YOU." ... THEN WILL THE MOB EXALT US AND BEAR US UP IN
THEIR HANDS IN A UNANIMOUS TRIUMPH OF HOPES AND EXPECTATIONS. VOTING,
WHICH WE HAVE MADE THE INSTRUMENT WHICH WILL SET US ON THE THRONE OF THE
WORLD BY TEACHING EVEN THE VERY SMALLEST UNITS OF MEMBERS OF THE HUMAN
RACE TO VOTE BY MEANS OF MEETINGS AND AGREEMENTS BY GROUPS, WILL THEN HAVE
SERVED ITS PURPOSES AND WILL PLAY ITS PART THEN FOR THE LAST TIME BY A
UNANIMITY OF DESIRE TO MAKE CLOSE ACQUAINTANCE WITH US BEFORE CONDEMNING
US.
5. TO SECURE THIS WE MUST HAVE EVERYBODY VOTE WITHOUT
DISTINCTION OF CLASSES AND QUALIFICATIONS, in order to establish an
absolute majority, which cannot be got from the educated propertied
classes. In this way, by inculcating in all a sense of self-importance, we
shall destroy among the GOYIM the importance of the family and its
educational value and remove the possibility of individual minds splitting
off, for the mob, handled by us, will not let them come to the front nor
even give them a hearing; it is accustomed to listen to us only who pay it
for obedience and attention. In this way we shall create a blind, mighty
force which will never be in a position to move in any direction without
the guidance of our agents set at its head by us as leaders of the mob.
The people will submit to this regime because it will know that upon these
leaders will depend its earnings, gratifications and the receipt of all
kinds of benefits.
6. A scheme of government should come ready made from
one brain, because it will never be clinched firmly if it is allowed to be
split into fractional parts in the minds of many. It is allowable,
therefore, for us to have cognizance of the scheme of action but not to
discuss it lest we disturb its artfulness, the interdependence of its
component parts, the practical force of the secret meaning of each clause.
To discuss and make alterations in a labor of this kind by means of
numerous votings is to impress upon it the stamp of all ratiocinations and
misunderstandings which have failed to penetrate the depth and nexus of
its plottings. We want our schemes to be forcible and suitably concocted.
Therefore WE OUGHT NOT TO FLING THE WORK OF GENIUS OF OUR GUIDE to the
fangs of the mob or even of a select company.
7. These schemes will not turn existing institutions
upside down just yet. They will only effect changes in their economy and
consequently in the whole combined movement of their progress, which will
thus be directed along the paths laid down in our schemes.
POISON OF LIBERALISM
8. Under various names there exists in all countries
approximately one and the same thing. Representation, Ministry, Senate,
State Council, Legislative and Executive Corps. I need not explain to you
the mechanism of the relation of these institutions to one another,
because you are aware of all that; only take note of the fact that each of
the above-named institutions corresponds to some important function of the
State, and I would beg you to remark that the word "important" I
apply not to the institution but to the function, consequently it is not
the institutions which are important but their functions. These
institutions have divided up among themselves all the functions of
government - administrative, legislative, executive, wherefore they have
come to operate as do the organs in the human body. If we injure one part
in the machinery of State, the State falls sick, like a human body, and
... will die.
9. When we introduced into the State organism the poison
of Liberalism its whole political complexion underwent a change. States
have been seized with a mortal illness - blood poisoning. All that remains
is to await the end of their death agony.
10. Liberalism produced Constitutional States, which
took the place of what was the only safeguard of the GOYIM, namely,
Despotism; and A CONSTITUTION, AS YOU WELL KNOW, IS NOTHING ELSE BUT A
SCHOOL OF DISCORDS, misunderstandings, quarrels, disagreements, fruitless
party agitations, party whims - in a word, a school of everything that
serves to destroy the personality of State activity. THE TRIBUNE OF THE "TALKERIES"
HAS, NO LESS EFFECTIVELY THAN THE PRESS, CONDEMNED THE RULERS TO
INACTIVITY AND IMPOTENCE, and thereby rendered them useless and
superfluous, for which reason indeed they have been in many countries
deposed. THEN IT WAS THAT THE ERA OF REPUBLICS BECOME POSSIBLE OF
REALIZATION; AND THEN IT WAS THAT WE REPLACED THE RULER BY A CARICATURE OF
A GOVERNMENT - BY A PRESIDENT, TAKEN FROM THE MOB, FROM THE MIDST OF OUR
PUPPET CREATURES, OR SLAVES. This was the foundation of the mine which we
have laid under the GOY people, I should rather say, under the GOY peoples.
WE NAME PRESIDENTS
11. In the near future we shall establish the
responsibility of presidents.
12. By that time we shall be in a position to disregard
forms in carrying through matters for which our impersonal puppet will be
responsible. What do we care if the ranks of those striving for power
should be thinned, if there should arise a deadlock from the impossibility
of finding presidents, a deadlock which will finally disorganize the
country? ...
13. In order that our scheme may produce this result we
shall arrange elections in favor of such presidents as have in their past
some dark, undiscovered stain, some "Panama" or other - then they will be
trustworthy agents for the accomplishment of our plans out of fear of
revelations and from the natural desire of everyone who has attained power,
namely, the retention of the privileges, advantages and honor connected
with the office of president. The chamber of deputies will provide cover
for, will protect, will elect presidents, but we shall take from it the
right to propose new, or make changes in existing laws, for this right
will be given by us to the responsible president, a puppet in our hands.
Naturally, the authority of the presidents will then become a target for
every possible form of attack, but we shall provide him with a means of
self-defense in the right of an appeal to the people, for the decision of
the people over the heads of their representatives, that is to say, an
appeal to that same blind slave of ours - the majority of the mob.
Independently of this we shall invest the president with the right of
declaring a state of war. We shall justify this last right on the ground
that the president as chief of the whole army of the country must have it
at his disposal, in case of need for the defense of the new republican
constitution, the right to defend which will belong to him as the
responsible representative of this constitution. (Iran? Grenada?
Kuwait? Iraq? Panama? Somalia? Bosnia? Kosovo? Indonesia?)
14. It is easy to understand that in these conditions
the key of the shrine will lie in our hands, and no one outside ourselves
will any longer direct the force of legislation.
15. Besides this we shall, with the introduction of the
new republican constitution, take from the Chamber the right of
interpolation on government measures, on the pretext of preserving
political secrecy, and, further, we shall by the new constitution reduce
the number of representatives to a minimum, thereby proportionately
reducing political passions and the passion for politics. If, however,
they should, which is hardly to be expected, burst into flame, even in
this minimum, we shall nullify them by a stirring appeal and a reference
to the majority of the whole people ... Upon the president will depend the
appointment of presidents and vice-presidents of the Chamber and the
Senate. Instead of constant sessions of Parliaments we shall reduce their
sittings to a few months. Moreover, the president, as chief of the
executive power, will have the right to summon and dissolve Parliament,
and, in the latter case, to prolong the time for the appointment of a new
parliamentary assembly. But in order that the consequences of all these
acts which in substance are illegal, should not, prematurely for our
plans, fall upon the responsibility established by us of the president, WE
SHALL INSTIGATE MINISTERS AND OTHER OFFICIALS OF THE HIGHER ADMINISTRATION
ABOUT THE PRESIDENT TO EVADE HIS DISPOSITIONS BY TAKING MEASURES OF THEIR
OWN, for doing which they will be made the scapegoats in his place ...
This part we especially recommend to be given to be played by the Senate,
the Council of State, or the Council of Ministers, but not to an
individual official.
16. The president will, at our discretion, interpret the
sense of such of the existing laws as admit of various interpretation; he
will further annul them when we indicate to him the necessity to do so,
besides this, he will have the right to propose temporary laws, and even
new departures in the government constitutional working, the pretext both
for the one and the other being the requirements for the supreme welfare
of the State. (Presidential Decrees such as F.D.R. employed to debase
the US dollar and steal the gold and to place the U.S. under a permanent
State of Emergency and War against its own citizens?)
WE SHALL DESTROY
17. By such measure we shall obtain the power of
destroying little by little, step by step, all that at the outset when we
enter on our rights, we are compelled to introduce into the constitutions
of States to prepare for the transition to an imperceptible abolition of
every kind of constitution, and then the time is come to turn every form
of government into OUR DESPOTISM.
18. The recognition of our despot may also come before
the destruction of the constitution; the moment for this recognition will
come when the peoples, utterly wearied by the irregularities and
incompetence - a matter which we shall arrange for - of their rulers, will
clamor: "Away with them and give us one king over all the earth who
will unite us and annihilate the causes of disorders - frontiers,
nationalities, religions, State debts - who will give us peace and quiet
which we cannot find under our rulers and representatives."
19. But you yourselves perfectly well know that TO
PRODUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE EXPRESSION OF SUCH WISHES BY ALL THE
NATIONS IT IS INDISPENSABLE TO TROUBLE IN ALL COUNTRIES THE PEOPLE'S
RELATIONS WITH THEIR GOVERNMENTS SO AS TO UTTERLY EXHAUST HUMANITY WITH
DISSENSION, HATRED, STRUGGLE, ENVY AND EVEN BY THE USE OF TORTURE, BY
STARVATION, BY THE INOCULATION OF DISEASES, BY WANT, SO THAT THE "GOYIM"
SEE NO OTHER ISSUE THAN TO TAKE REFUGE IN OUR COMPLETE SOVEREIGNTY IN
MONEY AND IN ALL ELSE.
20. But if we give the nations of the world a breathing
space the moment we long for is hardly likely ever to arrive.
