"The History of a Lie 'The Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion'"

THIRD STAGE OF THE LIE--"THE PROTOCOLS"[*]
[Footnote *: These extracts are taken from "The Protocols of the
Wise Men of Zion," published by the Beckwith Company, New York,
1920.]
All the wheels of the government mechanism are driven by the motor
which is in our hands, and that motor is--gold. (Prot. 5.)
To make it possible for liberty definitely to disintegrate and ruin
Gentile society, industry must be placed upon a speculative basis.
The result will be that all products extracted from industry from
the soil will not remain in their hands but will pass through
speculation into our possession. (Prot. 4.)
The aristocracy of the Gentiles as a political force has passed
away.... But as owners of land, they are harmful to us in that they
are independent in their sources of livelihood. Therefore at all
costs we must deprive them of their land. The best means to attain
this is to increase land taxes and mortgage indebtedness. These
measures will keep land ownership in a state of unconditional
subordination. (Prot. 6.)
See second quotation above.
At the same time it is necessary to encourage trade and industry
vigorously and especially speculation, the function of which is to
act as a counterpoise to industry.... It is necessary for industry
to deplete the land both of laborers and capital, and, through
speculation, transfer all the money of the world into our hands,
thereby throwing the Gentiles into the ranks of the proletariat.
