"1. Nothing could be more erosive and damaging to the well-being of our people than delaying the destruction of an opponent until he achieves recognition among our enemies and becomes famous enough that they heed his words and follow him when he addresses them. We must consequently keep a sharp watch on the maturing youth of our enemies, and if we notice a nucleus of insurrection and resistance to our power, then it must be destroyed before it can pose a threat to our people.
2. Since we dominate the press and exert power over public issues, so it is our most important task that dangerous people are not permitted access to positions from which they could speak with authority and in the printed word in order to win influence among our enemies. Thus, silence must prevail and complete unawareness, when a dangerous mind arises in the midst of our enemies. Most will be restrained by a lack of success in early youth from further efforts and must eventually devote themselves to an occupation to win their daily bread, which then distracts them from dangerous thoughts and deeds against the Chosen People.
3. Yet, if one such individual still persists with harmful doings despite silence and deficient recognition, then the time is come for influencing him more sharply to thwart his plans and hinder his dangerous work. Now, we will offer him employment at high salary within our circles if he simply ceases with his false endeavors and allows his energies to be diverted to Our Cause. And, if he was lonely for a long while and had to suffer and starve, then the sudden gold and beautiful words which we give him will dissuade him from his incorrect ideas and guide him to our path. And, when he suddenly sees success and riches, glory and honor, he will forget his enmity and learn to graze on the fat pasture which we keep ready for all who go our way and submit themselves to the rule of the Chosen People.
4. If this is to no avail and an individual continues further in stubborn mutiny against our command, then we will see to it through our people that evil will be spoken about him everywhere, and those for whom he wants to fight and is willing to sacrifice himself to counter us, will reject him in animosity and contempt. Then he will become truly lonely and see thusly the impotence of his acts and will despair and perish in the impossible struggle against our people.
5. If that does not work, and he should be strong enough to endure and to continue to believe in his hostile aims against us, then we have an even more certain means to paralyze his power and destroy his plans. Did not Esther win the King of Persia to our side and did not Judith chop off the head of the enemy of our people? And, are there not daughters of Israel enough who are seductive and clever enough to entice them from the path of our enemies, to win their hearts and to overhear their thoughts so that no word can be spoken and no plan ripen without being known at the proper time by our people? And, if a dangerous foe has attained a reputation and position and the trust of his friends and the following of an entire people, and we send a daughter of Israel onto his path, so his plan shall be delivered to our hands and his resolve broken and his energy lamed and his power made useless, then, whenever the daughters of our people reign as wives of our enemies, their plans are checked at the right stage and their actions are frustrated before they can be carried out.
6. However, if he should see through our actions and avoid our snares and his recalcitrant spirit finds further support and belief among our enemies, then he must disappear from this life in such a manner that our goals are not endangered. "Death is the unavoidable end of all humanity." For this reason, it is better to accelerate this end for those who injure our cause than to wait until it befalls us, the initiators of the undertaking. In the Freemason lodges, we inflict the punishment in such a way that no one, except the brothers of the confession, can derive the slightest suspicion. . . not even death's victim himself; they all die when it is necessary of an apparent natural cause. Although it is known to the lodge brothers, they dare not raise any objection. With such inexorable punishment, we have suffocated all contradictions within the lodges against our orders at the embryonic stage. While we preach enlightenment to the Gentiles, we simultaneously keep our own people and our confidants in strictest obedience.
7. Since we live in uncertain times and the country is made unsafe everywhere by murder and mayhem, through looting and robbery, so it occurs easily for our brothers to eliminate the dangerous enemy by a coincidental surprise attack. Then, do we not have an army of hired thugs of the nationality of our enemies, who are always prepared to do what we want for good gold and protected secrets? And, if we want to remove the opponent, then we spread rumors wherever he is traveling and where he resides to increase the danger and insecurity and to make the threat to his life a daily occurrence. And, if we want to destroy him, then we prepare the deed, through robbery or looting at the place of his residence or scatter the rumors of danger and personal attacks in his vicinity. And, when the day arrives when he is to disappear, the people we pay will work together in perfect harmony; and when he has been killed, they will take the money and plunder the corpse, and the culprits will never be apprehended. And, the whole world will believe that he was a victim of robbery and manslaughter, as the people will be accustomed to this at the appropriate time. And, never will the enemies learn that he has vanished through the will of our brothers in order that the name of our god be desecrated. ("So that we won't be nabbed")
8. So that the name of God shall not be desecrated, the wisest of our people have taken precautions for centuries. Namely, or brothers in Russia have discovered means and researched the sciences to destroy our enemies without their noticing it. Have they not discovered a gas which immediately kills the enemy and found a second gas which is emitted after the first one, combining with it to eliminate all traces of the former? And, do we not know the qualities of wireless current which destroys the mental faculties of the dangerous foe and ruins his brain power and ability to concentrate and think? And, have not our doctors researched the effects of undetectable poisons with the microscope and know how to smuggle the poison into the wash of the enemy, whereby it climbs to his brain and infests the frontal lobes, annihilating his mind? And, can we not ourselves staff the autopsy clinics with our own people so that no one learns of the cause of his death? And, have we not learned to get close to him through the maid who serves him, through the neighbor across the fence, and the guest in his house? And, are we not all-present and omnipotent in covert collaboration with one another in secret accord until the destruction of the opponent? And, when we come with friendly words and harmless conversation, has it yet been achieved by any nation on Earth that our plans have been penetrated and our purposes defeated?
9. If, however, one should still succeed in avoiding all traps of secret death and all the cunning of our brothers and should thwart the work of destruction, you should not despair and tremble in fear of the bright glance of this single dangerous one! Then, if he dares to speak to his unsuspecting fellow-citizens of our covert activities and menacing destruction, is it not our ancient art to recognize and watch over all persons with whom he speaks and to predict his plans in advance, if he should escape our snares? And, even before he speaks to our enemies, we ourselves will speak through our people, with those who are entrusted to him, and will warn of the imbalance of his mind and the unfortunate confusion of his senses. And, when he comes to tell of his troubles and to portray the surmounted dangers, these people will hear him with doubting smiles and distrustful contempt and will be convinced of his mental disorder and emotional decay. And, we will work together step by step, until the gates of the insane asylum close behind him, and should he come out again and want to take further action and warn of our power, we will have taken from him the credibility of his beliefs, and he will be outcast and outlawed. The words will be in vain that he spoke, just as the thoughts he thinks. And, so the Chosen People will remain victor over yet another harmful adversary.
10. Yet, if this should not be effective and the enemy, against the will of our God, wrestles himself free from all these dangers, then, still do not despair you Children of Israel, since one man is powerless, and our agents are everywhere alert to destroy his evil assault and prevent the Goyim from throwing off the yoke, which was attached to them by our God.
Do we not have the means at hand to observe every step of the enemy and to make the very breath from his mouth ineffective? And, as his people begin to believe in him and want to draw near him, do we not know how to hinder this approachment and cut the threads which could bind the dangerous enemy with the external world? And, the letters which will be written to him should be checked and read by our people so that encouragement and approval will be withheld from him and that only false friendship and malicious contacts flow to him, behind which the children of the Chosen People stand concealed. And, when he wants to use public communications, which enable the human word to be carried widely abroad, so we shall overhear his words and his plans, and, if the enemies should want to speak to him, we will interfere with the contest or baffle the meaning, since we keep the enemy so encircled that no trace of his soul can penetrate into the outward world without our eavesdropping. And, he will want to defend himself and will believe that he is effective, but his actions will be like the pacing of an animal behind the bars of his cage.
11. And, if the belief in the dangerous enemy by the few of intelligence should grow in spite of these measures, then we will still know how to prevent that his power advances and that his ideas influence the greater multitude of our enemies. And if his name achieves a good reputation, so we shall send out one of our people and give him the same name of the dangerous foe and deliberately expose him as the enemy of our enemies, as a traitor and deceiver, and when the hated name is merely mentioned, we shall say that he is, our foe, who is the traitor; and the people will believe our words, and his words will fade away into emptiness, and his ideas will become cursed through the omnipotence of our god. And, we will make his lifestyle subject to suspicions and shall take the filth of the gutter to smear his reputation and his fellow men will see the dirtied cloak and perceive the filth on his clothing and will turn from him, not evaluating his character and not noticing his voice. And, he will become perplexed and give up hope in his own people, which appears to him to be so shabby and thankless, and he will cease his activities in bitterness and despair as Israel laughs mockingly and the power of our god triumphs.
12. It is, nevertheless, prophesied that men will repeatedly arise in our folk who are not of our blood and will not think with our spirit. And they will be more dangerous to the victory of our people than all the others, since they understand the trickery of our folk and avoid our nets and escape all dangers. But, do not fear, ye brothers, in the face of these cursed ones, since, if they appear today, it is already too late and power over the entire Earth too far given over to our hands. Where can our enemies sit down with one another to deliberate over us without at least one of our people within their ranks or one of their race who has become ours through the glitter of our gold, the charm of our women, or the convincingness of our agents? And, if the renegade wants to speak with our enemies, so shall our emissary in their ranks rise up and utter words of indignation against him, which will find endearment and trust, sowing rejection of him among the enemies' ranks, and angrily labelling him the secret enemy of their people! And, wherever he shall come with love and self-sacrifice and would desire to save the enemies from the power of our people, his words will encounter mistrust, they will reject him, and all his activities will ineffectively rebound from this distrust and disbelief, which our emissary knows how to provoke within the enemies ranks.
And, so it shall be our talent and greatest mission to prevent that many hear the words, recognition, and enlightenment concerning our most secret goals. Thus, if many were to hear the voice of truth against our power, then all our counterespionage measures would be thwarted and the danger would be near that the peoples of the Earth might throw off our yoke. Therefore, keep up the watch, ye Brothers, and act omnipresent, delude the enemies, confuse their senses, close their ears, and make their eyes unseeing, so that the day will never come when the world Empire of Zion collapses, which we have built up to such towering heights and perfection and which shall soon project visibly to its late but inevitable victory and ultimate revenge upon the slave peoples of the entire planet!"
