It is very important for us to pretend to be expounders and
protagonists of social questions prevalent at the time in a
country, especially of those whose aim it is to better the fate of
the workingman; but, in reality, our efforts must gravitate towards
possession and rule over the movements of public opinion.
The blindness of the masses and the tendency of their leaders to
fall for oratory as empty as it is loud, will make them easy prey
for us and a double weapon for our popularity and credit. With the
aid of oratory, our speakers will be able to make people believe
our artificial enthusiasm which Christians usually attain through
genuine sentiment....
Once we become absolute masters of the press, we will easily be
able to refashion the ideas of honor, of virtue, of
faithfulness--and to deal the first blow to the family-conception
which is considered to this day as the most sacred institution and
which must be reduced to a state of decay. We shall then be able to
uproot the belief in that which our enemies, the Christians, shall
have worshipped until that time and instead of that, having brought
up the army in a spirit of infatuation with the various passions,
we shall openly declare war upon everything which the Gentiles are
at present revering and worshipping....

introduced by Nilus in 1905, showing the different stages of the
forgery.
