"Agriculture will forever remain the principal source of a
country's wealth. The possession of large plots of land will pave
for us even a broader way to honors and will strengthen our
influence (over the highest officials of the country). From this
follows, that our efforts will be directed towards inducing our
brethren in Israel to make large agricultural purchases. We must,
therefore, do our utmost to break up large estates into small
parcels, in order to be able to purchase them in the easiest and
quickest way. Under the pretext of trying to help the working
classes, it is necessary to oppress the large landowners with
taxation in all its severity. When these possessions will thus
gradually be transferred into our hands, the whole labor of the
Christian proletariat will become for us a new source of tremendous
profits. _Since the Christian Church is one of our most dangerous
enemies, we must work tirelessly to weaken its influence, and in
order to accomplish this, it is necessary to use all our efforts to
implant in the Christian intellectual class ideas of atheism,
scepticism, dissension and to call forth religious disputes among
the newly-formed groups and sects of Christendom._
"Logically, we must begin by depreciating the ministers of
this religion. Let us declare open war on them, let us provoke
suspicions on their devotion, on their private conduct, and by
ridicule and persiflage we shall be right in the consideration
attached to the state and the costume of the priest.
