Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion
Translated by Victor E. Marsden
PROTOCOL 14: ASSAULT
ON RELIGION
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.
WE SHALL FORBID CHRIST
2. At the same time we shall not omit to emphasize the
historical mistakes of the GOY governments which have tormented humanity for so
many centuries by their lack of understanding of everything that constitutes the
true good of humanity in their chase after fantastic schemes of social
blessings, and have never noticed that these schemes kept on producing a worse
and never a better state of the universal relations which are the basis of human
life ...
3. The whole force of our principles and methods will lie in
the fact that we shall present them and expound them as a splendid contrast to
the dead and decomposed old order of things in social life.
4. Our philosophers will discuss all the shortcomings of the
various beliefs of the "GOYIM," BUT NO ONE WILL EVER BRING
UNDER DISCUSSION OUR FAITH FROM ITS TRUE POINT OF VIEW SINCE THIS WILL BE FULLY
LEARNED BY NONE SAVE OURS WHO WILL NEVER DARE TO BETRAY ITS SECRETS.
5. IN COUNTRIES KNOWN AS PROGRESSIVE AND ENLIGHTENED WE HAVE
CREATED A SENSELESS, FILTHY, ABOMINABLE LITERATURE. For some time after our
entrance to power we shall continue to encourage its existence in order to
provide a telling relief by contrast to the speeches, party program, which will
be distributed from exalted quarters of ours .... Our wise men, trained to
become leaders of the GOYIM, will compose speeches, projects, memoirs, articles,
which will be used by us to influence the minds of the GOYIM, directing them
towards such understanding and forms of knowledge as have been determined by us.
