The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion

1] We shall soon begin to establish huge monopolies, reservoirs of colossal riches, upon which even, large fortunes of the Goyim will depend to such an extent that they will go to the bottom together with the credit of the States on the day after the political smash…

2] You gentlemen here present, who are economists, just strike an estimate of the significance of this combination! …

3] In every possible way we must develop the significance of our Super-Government by representing it as the Protector and Benefactor of all those who voluntarily submit to us.

4] The aristocracy of the Goyim as a political force is dead – We need not take it into account; but as landed proprietors they can still be harmful to us from the fact that they are self-sufficing in the resources upon which they live.

We shall raise the rate of wages which, however, will not bring any advantage to the workers, for, at the same time, we shall produce a rise in prices of the first necessaries of life, alleging that it arises from the decline of agriculture and cattle-breeding : we shall further undermine artfully and deeply sources of production, by accustoming the workers to anarchy and to drunkenness and  ...
