It is indispensible for our purposes that, as far as possible, wars should bring no territorial advantages. This will shift war to an economic footing and nations will perceive the strength of our superiority in the aid we render. Such a condition of affairs will place both sides under the control of our international agents with their million eyes, whose vision is unhampered by any frontiers. (Prot. 2.)
We will represent ourselves as the saviors of the laboring classes who have come to liberate them from this oppression by suggesting that they join our army of socialists, anarchists, communists, to whom we always extend our help under the guise of the fraternal principles of the universal solidarity of our social masonry.... (Prot. 3.)
We will adopt for ourselves the liberal side of all parties and all movements and provide orators who will talk so much that they will tire the people with their speeches until they turn from orators in disgust. (Prot. 5.)
We shall handle the press in the following manner ... to end of Protocol 12.
CHAPTER FOUR
THE RUSSIAN SPONSORS OF THE FORGERY
Nilus on the Protocols—Only “the God-Anointed Tsar of Russia” Can Save the World—Passages from Nilus Omitted by Translators—On Tolstoy—On the Emancipation of Women—On the “Sanhedrin” and “its Faithful Ally, England.”
In 1905 the second edition of Serge Nilus’s book appeared, printed on government presses at Tsarskoye Selo, containing a new and elaborated version of the protocols.
The translators of the Nilus protocols published in his 1905 edition, a copy of which is in the British Museum, have deliberately omitted numerous passages from his prologue and epilogue. These passages show clearly the purpose of the volume. Nilus writes: “We may perhaps be reproached, and justly, for the apocryphal character of the document presented. But if it were possible to demonstrate its accuracy by documents or through the testimony of trustworthy witnesses, if it were possible to unveil the faces of those who are at the head of the world conspiracy and who hold its bloody strings in their hands, then the very ‘mystery of lawlessness’ would be infringed upon, and it must remain intact until its incarnation in the ‘son of destruction.’” Then he goes on to say that the world is rushing towards its destruction, and that there is only one force that can save it, and that is the “God-Anointed Tsar of Russia.” The omitted portions of the Nilus book show distinctly that it is a work of propaganda for the Russian autocracy. Nilus denounced Leo Tolstoy, the emancipation of women, and all movements leading toward progress.
