The History of a Lie: "The Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion"
Bernstein, Herman
Jews; Protocols of the wise men of Zion
Nashi filosofy budut obsuzhdat' i kritikovat' vse nedostatki
goevskih verovanij, v chem oni nam otvetit' ne mogut
po otnosheniju Nashej Very, potomu chto nikto eja tajn ne
znaet, krome nashih talmudistov i ravvinov, a oni nikogda
ne vydadut ih, potomu chto na nih osnovana sila upravlenija
pastvoju nashej.
My sozdali bezumnuju, grjaznuju, otvratitel'nuju literaturu,
osobenno v stranah, nazyvaemyh peredovymi. Posle vstuplenija
nashego vo vlast' my nekotoroe vremja ne zapretim eja, no
budem ee iskorenjat' strogoju kritikoj, chtoby ona, kak ostatok
goevskih ruin, rel'efnee obrisovyvala kontrast togo,
chto razdavat'sja budet s Nashej Vysoty, s tem, chto iskhodilo
iz grjaznago bolota goevskih carstv.

“In countries that are called advanced, we have created a
senseless, filthy, and disgusting literature. For a short time
after our entrance into power, we shall encourage its existence so
that it may show in great relief the contrast between it and the
written and spoken announcements which will emanate from our
exalted position. Our wise men, educated for leadership of the
Gentiles, will prepare speeches, plans, notes, and articles,
through which we shall influence their minds, directing them along
the lines of knowledge and understanding which we intend them to
follow.”
[_Translation of the same Protocol published by Butmi in Russia in 1907,
showing the changes made in the Protocols within two years._]
“When we become rulers, we shall at each suitable occasion compare
our beneficent rule with the former unsystematic
administrations.... The mistakes of the administrations of the
Gentiles will be pictured by us in the most lurid colors: we will
sow such antipathy and hatred toward these governments that the
masses will prefer peace and quiet in a condition of servitude to
the rights of the so-called liberty which for many ages had so
tormented them and destroyed the very springs of human existence
and which were exploited by adventurers, who did not realize what
they were doing.
“The masses will become so satiated with the useless changes of
administration, which we instigated when we were undermining their
institutions, that they will accept anything that we may give them
rather than risk undergoing again such struggle and disorder....
Moreover, we will, through public criticism, especially emphasize
the mistakes of the Gentile administrations which caused mankind to
suffer for many centuries through lack of real understanding in all
that concerned its true welfare, pursuing fantastic projects of
social welfare and not noticing that these projects made worse
instead of better the state of general relationships which are the
basis of human existence.
