KLAIM-KLAIM ISRAEL ATAS PALESTINA

KLAIM-KLAIM ISRAEL ATAS PALESTINA

Israel mendasarkan klaim-klaimnya untuk mendirikan sebuah negara di Palestina atas tiga sumber utama: warisan Perjanjian Lama dari Kitab Injil,1 Deklarasi Balfour yang diumumkan Inggris Raya pada 1917, dan pembagian Palestina menjadi negara Arab dan negara Yahudi yang direkomendasikan oleh Majelis Umum PBB pada 1947.

"Atas dasar hak alamiah dan hak kesejarahan kita... dengan ini [kami] memproklamasikan berdirinya sebuah Negara Yahudi di Tanah Israel-Negara Israel." --Deklarasi Kemerdekaan Israel, 19482
FAKTA
Menurut sejarah, bangsa Yahudi bukanlah penduduk pertama Palestina, pun mereka tidak memerintah di sana selama masa pemerintahan bangsa-bangsa lain. Para ahli arkeologi modern kini secara umum sepakat bahwa bangsa Mesir dan bangsa Kanaan telah mendiami Palestina sejak masa-masa paling kuno yang dapat dicatat, sekitar 3000 SM hingga sekitar 1700 SM.3 Selanjutnya datanglah penguasa-penguasa lain seperti bangsa-bangsa Hyokos, Hittit, dan Filistin. Periode pemerintahan Yahudi baru dimulai pada 1020 SM dan berlangsung hingga 587 SM. Orang-orang Israel kemudian diserbu oleh bangsa-bangsa Assyria, Babylonia, Yunani, Mesir, dan Syria hingga Hebrew Maccabeans meraih kembali sebagian kendali pemerintahan pada 164 SM. Tetapi, pada 63 SM Kekaisaran Romawi menaklukkan Jerusalem dan pada 70 M menghancurkan Kuil Kedua dan menyebarkan orang-orang Yahudi ke negeri-negeri lain. Ringkasnya, bangsa Yahudi kuno menguasai Palestina atau sebagian besar darinya selama kurang dari enam ratus tahun dalam kurun waktu lima ribu tahun sejarah Palestina yang dapat dicatat --lebih singkat dibanding bangsa-bangsa Kanaan, Mesir, Muslim, atau Romawi.4 Komisi King-Crane AS menyimpulkan pada 1919 bahwa suatu klaim "yang didasarkan atas pendudukan pada masa dua ribu tahun yang lalu tidak dapat dipertimbangkan secara serius."5

Pada 14 Mei 1948, sekitar tiga puluh tujuh orang menghadiri pertemuan Tel Aviv di mana kemerdekaan Israel dinyatakan sebagai "hak alamiah dan historis." Namun para kritikus menuduh bahwa aksi mereka tidak mempunyai kekuatan yang mengikat dalam hukum internasional sebab mereka tidak mewakili mayoritas penduduk pada waktu itu. Sesungguhnya, hanya satu orang di antara mereka yang dilahirkan di Palestina; tiga puluh lima orang berasal dari Eropa dan seorang dari Yaman. Tegas sarjana Palestina Issa Nakhleh: "Minoritas Yahudi tidak berhak untuk menyatakan kemerdekaan suatu negara di atas wilayah yang dimiliki oleh bangsa Arab Palestina."6

"'Sertifikat kelahiran' internasional Israel disahkan oleh janji dalam Kitab Injil." --AIPAC,*) 19927
FAKTA
Klaim-klaim tentang dukungan ilahiah atas ambisi-ambisi kesukuan maupun kebangsaan sangat lazim ditemukan di masa kuno. Bangsa-bangsa Sumeria, Mesir, Yunani, dan Romawi semuanya menyitir wahyu-wahyu ilahi untuk penaklukan-penaklukan mereka. Sebagaimana dicatat oleh ahli sejarah Frank Epp: "Setiap fenomena dan proses kehidupan dianggap sebagai hasil campur tangan dewa atau dewa-dewa... bahwa sebuah negeri yang baik telah dijanjikan kepada bangsa yang lebih baik oleh dewa-dewa yang lebih tinggi."8 Tidak ada pengadilan atau badan dunia di masa sekarang ini yang akan menganggap sah suatu hak pemilikan yang didasarkan atas klaim yang dinyatakan berasal dari Tuhan.9 Bahkan bagi mereka yang mengartikan restu Injil secara harfiah sebagai restu dari Tuhan, para ahli Injil seperti Dr. Dewey Beegle dari Wesley Theological Seminary menyatakan bahwa bangsa Yahudi kuno tidak berhasil mematuhi perintah-perintah Tuhan dan karenanya kehilangan janji itu.10

"Hak [bangsa Yahudi untuk melakukan restorasi nasional di Palestina] diakui oleh Deklarasi Balfour." --Deklarasi Kemerdekaan Israel, 194811

FAKTA
Deklarasi Balfour secara sengaja tidak mendukung pendirian suatu bangsa Yahudi. Deklarasi itu termuat dalam sebuah surat yang dikirimkan oleh Menteri Luar Negeri Inggris Arthur James Balfour kepada Lord Rothschild, presiden Federasi Zionis Inggris, pada 2 November 1917. Deklarasi itu telah disetujui oleh kabinet Inggris dan dikatakan: "Pemerintah menyetujui didirikannya sebuah tanah air bagi bangsa Yahudi di Palestina, dan berusaha sebaik-baiknya untuk melancarkan pencapaian tujuan ini, setelah dipahami secara jelas bahwa tidak akan dilakukan sesuatu yang dapat merugikan hak-hak sipil dan hak-hak keagamaan komunitas non-Yahudi yang ada di Palestina, atau hak-hak dan status politik yang dinikmati oleh bangsa Yahudi di setiap negeri lain."12 Pada 1939 British White Paper secara khusus menyatakan bahwa Inggris "tidak bermaksud mengubah Palestina menjadi sebuah Negara Yahudi yang bertentangan dengan kehendak penduduk Arab di negeri itu."13

"[Palestina adalah] tanah air tanpa rakyat bagi rakyat [Yahudi) yang tidak bertanah air." --Israel Zangwill, Zionis senior, c. 189714
FAKTA
Ketika Deklarasi Balfour diumumkan pada 1917 ada kira-kira 600.000 orang Arab di Palestina dan kira-kira 60.000 orang Yahudi.15 Lebih dari tiga puluh tahun selanjutnya rasio itu menyempit ketika imigrasi Yahudi bertambah, terutama akibat adanya kebijaksanaan anti-Semit Adolf Hitler. Namun, menjelang akhir 1947 ketika PBB berencana untuk membagi Palestina, bangsa Arab masih merupakan penduduk mayoritas, dengan jumlah orang Yahudi mencapai hanya sepertiganya --608.225 orang Yahudi berbanding 1.237.332 orang Arab.16 Ketika Max Nordau, seorang Zionis senior dan sahabat Zangwill, mengetahui pada 1897 bahwa ada penduduk asli Arab di Palestina, dia berseru: "Aku tidak tahu itu! Kita tengah melakukan suatu kezaliman!"17

Penduduk Palestina bukan hanya sudah ada di sana, mereka bahkan telah menjadi masyarakat mapan yang diakui oleh bangsa-bangsa Arab lainnya sebagai "bangsa Palestina." Bangsa itu terdiri atas golongan-golongan intelektual dan profesional terhormat, organisasi-organisasi politik, dengan ekonomi agraria yang tengah tumbuh dan berkembang menjadi cikal bakal industri modern.18 Kata ilmuwan John Quigley: "Penduduk Arab telah mapan selama beratus-ratus tahun. Tidak ada migrasi masuk yang berarti dalam abad kesembilan belas."19

"Atas dasar... resolusi Majelis Umum Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa dengan ini [kami] memproklamasikan berdirinya sebuah Negara Yahudi di Tanah Israel --Negara Israel." --Deklarasi Kemerdekaan Israel, 194820
FAKTA
Hanya karena tekanan kuat dari pemerintahan Truman sajalah maka Rencana Pembagian PBB diluluskan oleh Majelis Umum pada 29 November 1947, dengan perolehan suara 33 lawan 13 dan dengan 10 abstain dan 1 absen. Di antara bangsa-bangsa yang mengalah pada tekanan AS adalah Prancis, Ethiopia, Haiti, Liberia, Luksemburg, Paraguay, dan Filipina.21 Mantan Wakil Menteri Luar Negeri Sumner Welles menulis: "Melalui perintah langsung dari Gedung Putih setiap bentuk tekanan, langsung maupun tak langsung, dibawa untuk disampaikan oleh para pejabat Amerika kepada negara-negara di luar dunia Muslim yang diketahui belum menentukan sikap atau menentang pembagian itu. Para wakil dan perantara dikerahkan oleh Gedung Putih untuk memastikan bahwa suara mayoritas akan terus dipertahankan."22

Rencana pembagian, yang dinamakan Resolusi 181, membagi Palestina antara "negara-negara Arab dan Yahudi yang merdeka dan Rezim Internasional Istimewa untuk Kota Jerusalem."23 Calon Menteri Luar Negeri Israel Moshe Sharett mengatakan bahwa resolusi itu mempunyai "kekuatan mengikat," dan Deklarasi Kemerdekaan Israel mengutipnya tiga kali sebagai dasar kebenaran yang sah bagi berdirinya negara itu.24 Namun Majelis Umum, tidak seperti Dewan Keamanan, tidak mempunyai kuasa lebih dari membuat rekomendasi. Ia tidak dapat mendesakkan rekomendasi-rekomendasinya, pun rekomendasi-rekomendasi itu tidak mengikat secara hukum kecuali untuk masalah-masalah internal PBB.25

Bangsa Palestina, yang memang berhak, menolak rencana pembagian itu sebab rencana tersebut memberikan pada bangsa Yahudi lebih dari separuh Palestina, meskipun dalam kenyataannya mereka itu hanyalah sepertiga penduduk dan hanya memiliki 6,59 persen tanah.26 Di samping itu, bangsa Palestina berkeras bahwa Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa tidak mempunyai hak yang sah untuk merekomendasikan pembagian jika mayoritas penduduk Palestina menantangnya. Sekalipun demikian, dengan menolak pembagian tidak berarti bangsa Palestina menolak klaim mereka sendiri sebagai suatu bangsa merdeka. Yang mereka tentang adalah negara Yahudi yang didirikan di atas tanah Palestina, bukan hak orang-orang Yahudi sebagai suatu bangsa.

Pemimpin Yahudi David Ben-Gurion menasihati para koleganya untuk menerima pembagian itu sebab, katanya pada mereka, "dalam sejarah tidak pernah ada suatu persetujuan final --baik yang berkaitan dengan rezim, dengan perbatasan-perbatasan, dan dengan persetujuan-persetujuan internasional."27

Salah seorang perintis Zionis besar, Nahum Goldmann, mengungkapkan sikap pragmatis dengan cara berbeda: "Tidak ada harapan bagi sebuah negara Yahudi yang harus menghadapi 50 tahun lagi untuk berjuang melawan musuh-musuh Arab."28

"Aslinya Palestina mencakup Yordania." Ariel Sharon, Menteri Perdagangan Israel, 198929
FAKTA
Dalam sejarah panjang Imperium Islam/Usmaniah, Palestina tidak pernah berdiri sebagai suatu unit geopolitik atau administratif yang terpisah. Ketika daerah di Laut Tengah bagian timur antara Lebanon dan Mesir diambil alih oleh Inggris Raya dari Turki pada akhir Perang Dunia I, bagian-bagian tertentu dari apa yang disebut Palestina berada di bawah wilayah administrasi Beirut sementara Jerusalem menjadi sanjak, sebuah distrik otonom.30 Daerah di sebelah timur sungai Yordan --Transyordan-- adalah, dalam kata-kata sarjana Universitas Tel Aviv Aaron Klieman, "sesungguhnya merupakan terra nullius di bawah kekuasaan bangsa Turki dan dibiarkan tanpa kepastian dalam pembagian Imperium Usmaniah."31

Dalam memulai mandat di Palestina atas nama Liga Bangsa-bangsa pada 1922, Inggris mendapatkan Palestina dan Transyordan ke arah timur hingga Mesopotamia, yang menjadi Irak. Sekarang wilayah yang sama berarti mencakup Israel, Yordania, Tepi Barat, Jalur Gaza, dan Jerusalem. Pada Desember 1922, Inggris menyatakan pengakuannya atas "eksistensi suatu Pemerintahan konstitusional yang merdeka di Transyordan." Dan pada 1928 dinyatakan secara khusus bahwa Palestina adalah daerah di sebelah barat sungai Yordan.32 Hanya di Palestina sajalah Inggris beranggapan bahwa janjinya dalam Deklarasi Balfour dapat diterapkan untuk membantu mendirikan suatu tanah air Yahudi.

Kecoa.....

2008-12-23T01:20:00.000-08:00

...Kadang kita nyepelein makhluk yg namanya kecoa, kita liat dia dengan wujud yg menjijikan, hidup ditempat yang jorok..yakhh..Tapi coba lihat lagi...dia juga ciptaan Allah SWT yang pasti tiada kesia-sian dalam pnciptaannya. Mungkin hidup kecoa lebih bermanfaat untuk banyak orang ketimbang manusia. Kita gak pernah tau kalau mereka ikhlas menerima taqdirnya yang mungkin kalo dilimpahin ke manusia udah pada bunuh diri. Mereka hidup menjadi pengurai sisa makanan, menghabiskan sisa, sisa manusia..menyebarkan penyakit.. dan menjadi pelengkap comberan..Namun apa manfaatnya ya? Coba liat lagi.. berapa banyak pabrik anti nyamuk dan kecoa yang berdiri karena kehadiran makhluk itu..ada berapa banyak pabrik obat yang membuat obat untuk mencegah penyakit yang dibawa oleh makhluk itu.Berapa ribu orang bisa mendapatkan penghasilan dari kecoa binatang yg sering kita angap hina..Allah menciptakan sesuatu tanpa kesia-siaan..Lalu apa kita sudah se ikhlas kecoa..yang di setiap hidupnya penuh ancaman akan kematian. Harus siap2 menghadapi lemparan sendal jepit, sapu atau disemprot anti kecoa..Itu taqdir kecoa dalam rangka beribadah kepada Allah..lalu taqdir kita apa? Allah menciptakan kita untuk beribadah kepada Allah SWT..namun apa kita sudah seikhlas kecoa dalam menjalani itu semua...setotal kecoa menghadapi kenyataannya..Ikhlas penuh totalitas dalam menjalani semua tanpa banyak tanya dan mengeluh..Kecoa dan Manusia sama2

Kelak lagu ini menjadi lagu untukku..

2008-11-18T17:54:00.000-08:00

Terima kasih guruku..
Pagiku cerahku matahari bersinar Kugendong tas merahku di pundak Slamat pagi semua Kunantikan dirimu di depan kelasmu menantikan kami Guruku tersayang guru tercinta Tanpamu apa jadinya aku Tak bisa baca tulis mengerti banyak hal Guruku terimakasihku Nyatanya diriku kadang buatmu marah Namun segala maaf kau berikan

Insya Allah kelak lagu ini akan menjadi lagu untuk ku...kelak aku akan menjadi guru, guru untuk anak-anaku, guru untuk keluarga ku, guru untuk anak-anak yang tidak mampu kesekolah. Guru yang bermanfaat untuk orang banyak. Guru yang setia mengajar untuk pendidikan bangsa. Guru yang ikhlas dan mengajarkan dengan hati. Ya Allah sampaikan doaku ini sebagai peribadahanku untuk-MU. Amin

[29:45] Bacalah apa yang telah diwahyukan kepadamu, yaitu Al Kitab (Al Qur'an) dan dirikanlah Shalat. Sesungguhnya Shalat itu mencegah dari (perbuatan-perbuatan) keji dan mungkar. Dan sesungguhnya mengingat Allah (Shalat) adalah lebih besar (keutamaannya dari ibadat-ibadat yang lain). Dan Allah mengetahui apa yang kamu kerjakan. (AL'ANKABUUT (Laba-laba) ayat 45)

Maluu deh..berapa puluh tahun diri ini sholat...Kelakuan gak ada kemajuannya. Ada yang salah dari gw. Shalat kayak gerakan aja cuma menggugurkan ibadah wajib.Sholat cuma jadi lahan ngelamun, pengingat lupa(biasanya suka inget tuh dalam sholat hal-hal kecil), suka ngantuk2,suka lupa brapa rakaat, suka ngedumel klo ada yang sholat cuman gayanya aneh2,yah terkadang suka riya klo sholat maunya dilihat orang lain dan yang paling parah yah suka ninggalin sholat.

Come on..Dah brapa tahun sholat ku seperti itu yah...Ribuan rakaat tapi gak ada rasa, efek dan dialog yg hakiki.Padahal sholat itu adalah saat-saat diijabahnya doa, sholat itu pembeda orang mu'min dan kafir, sholat itu adalah penolong, sholat itu hal yang paling pertama dihisab oleh Allah SWT, sholat itu dapat mencegah dari perbuatan keji dan mungkar..

Mutlak klo tulisan ini adalah nasihat&cambukan bwt aku sendiri. Apa iya aku termasuk orang yang: " Maka kecelakaanlah bagi orang-orang yang shalat,"(QS. 107:4)? Naudzubillahimindzalik..

Ya Rabb cuma taubat deh solusiku..Ya Rabb jadikan tiap sholatku adalah indahnya berkomunikasi dengan-MU, Ya Rabb jadikan tiap sholatku adalah taubatku atas semua dosaku, Ya Ghofur, Ya Rahman, Ya Rahim..Jadikan aku orang yang khusyuk agar kelak engkau memanggilku untuk berada disisi-MU..Ya Rabb berikanlah akau kenikmatan sholat khusyuk..Selamatkan aku ya Rabb..Ya Rabbku, jadikanlah aku dan anak cucuku orang-orang yang tetap mendirikan SHALAT, ya Rabb kami, perkenankan doaku. (QS. 14:40).Amin ya Rabbal Alamin..

Suatu saat.....

Orang boleh bilang pemimpi..penghayal..gila.. Bukaaann teriak hati ini..mereka hanya belum mengerti.. karena nasib tidak selalu begini..kita penentu takdir kita sendiri yang tentunya itu adalah bagian dari takdir Allah. Allah Maha Mendengar apapun impian kita jika Allah ridho pasti dikabulkan. Impian itu niat dan doa..selagi impian itu tidak keluar dari aturan-NYA insyaAllah pasti dikabulkan jika kita meyakininya..

Jika waktu terus berubah maka kita juga harus berubah sebagaimana waktu.."Don't waste your time or time will waste you" kata Muse di dalam lagu Knight of Cydonia. Hei kaya raya itu adalah cara berfikir dan keberuntungan adalah nasib... Jika kita meyakini keduanya dengan berfikir seperti orang yang kaya raya dan bernasib beruntung insya Allah terkabul..Tapi ingat kita harus tetap dalam kerangka ibadah..Karena kita hidup untuk beribadah kepada Allah...

Ayo yang masih ragu-ragu untuk memiliki cita-cita dan impian sekaranglah waktu yang tepat untuk memilikinya.Sekarang adalah waktu yang terbaik untuk memulai kebaikan. Karena masa depan dimulai dari sekarang. Jangan pelit punya cita-cita..jangan irit punya impian..Keluarkan impianmu sehebat dan sedahsyat-dahsyatnya..Tekadkan dalam hati..yakinkan dalam diri kemudian pasrahkan pada Ilahi Rabbi..

Beraksilah yang terbaik dan berusahalah untuk selalu menjadi lebih baik jangan ada pemikiran apapun yang menghalangi ikhtiar kita..Berfikir lurus kedepan, terpola, terencana dan terbaik.Singkirkan ragu bangkitkan yakin.Insya Allah Bisa!! Kemarin menjadi pelajaran terbaik. "Hari ini akan menjadi hari yang terbaik, esok hari akan berusaha lebih baik."

Aku akan menjadi pengusaha sukses..Aku akan memberangkatkan keluargaku untuk berhaji..Aku akan bersedekah lebih banyak..Aku akan mendirikan sekolah gratis..Aku akan menyalurkan hobiku bersama keluargaku..Aku akan menyekolahkan anaku sampai S3..dan Aku ingin mati dalam keadaan khusnul khotimah.Amin. Wujudkan niatku ini bukan untuk ku namun untuk keluarga dan umat agar aku menjadi manfaat bagi mereka yaa Rabb..Amin

Ya suatu saat..bukan kemarin, tidak hari ini dan nggak esok hari..tapi suatu saat...

Suatu saat nanti..

Insya Allah Pasti aku kesana..
Aku harus bertemu DIA disana
Aku tau diri
Dan hanya impian inilah yang ku punya
Doaku doa pendosa
Perilakuku perilaku munafik
Layak atau tidak aku tetap hamba-NYA
dan aku yakin sebanyak apapun dosa
pasti akan diampuni-NYA
Apapun prosesnya aku ingin akhir yang baik
Izinkan aku mengunjungi kiblatku
Perbolehkan aku bermunajat ditempat yang paling engkau dengar dan engkau jawab.
Aku ingin meminta sesuatu..
Aku ingin ENGKAU mendengar lebih dekat
Aku ingin mengatakan hal yang sangat penting buatku..

Ya Rabb aku bertaubat dan terimalah taubatku..Sayangi kami semua ya Rabb akhiri aku dengan syahid dan khusnul khotimah..Amin

Pada siapa?

2008-10-19T22:09:00.001-07:00

Pengulangan lagi
Terjadi lagi kebodohan yang sama
Bangun wahai pemimpi kesiangan
Pada siapa seharusnya kau berharap?
Makhluk atau Allah?

Kata-kata bisa menembus relung jiwa
Rongga hati pun bisa terpana
Terbius tanpa terasa
Manusia bodoh lemah terkulai

Pada siapa seharusnya kau percaya?
Makhluk atau Allah?
Rasa macam apa yang ingin kau nikmati?
Nikmati sajalah tanpa perlu mencari siapa yang salah

Kau pula yang mencoba
Kau pula yang merasa
Setiap kejadian pasti menuai hikmah
Setiap pengalaman akan membuat perencanaan kedepan

Pada siapa seharusnya kau bersandar?
Makhluk atau Allah?
Kecewa atau menang?
Pilihanmu ditanganmu
Takdir-NYA kau yang pilih

Gak ada waktu yang layak dibuang..nonton film pun bukan berarti kita buang-buang waktu klo film itu punya arti dan manfaat yang positif bwt semua orang. Setelah lama gw nonton film-film Indonesia pada masa kebangkitannya kembali setelah terpuruk hampir 15 tahun..Namun gak ada yang bikin gw sampe dpt insight, empaty dan pendidikan moral yang sedahsyat film Laskar Pelangi..Gw emang kurang gitu suka baca novel..Namun karena sekarang lagi tren novel laris yang difilmkan akhirnya gw bisa liat novel difilmkan. Hampir tadinya Ayat-ayat cinta gw angap film bermutu dan terbaik..namun abis nonton Laskar pelangi berubah opini gw. Nggak..Bukan karena crita atau novelnya yang kurang bagus dari Ayat-Ayat Cinta..Tapi Kesempurnaan pembuatan filmnya belum tersentuh..Karena yang seharusnya semua adegan berada dimesir namun karena keterbatasan dana akhirnya syuting di Indonesia dan seting sungai nil&gurun pasirnya juga cuman di India. Ada beberapa yang kurang detil dari film itu yang membuat gw gak kesentuh..klo aja detil-detil dari semuanya dapet pasti gw akan terpesona..Yang gw kagum dari Laskar Pelangi adalah dari segi keseriusan semua Kru pembuat film sampai Original Sound Tracknya juga powerful..Dari seting tempat, pemain, properti film yang dahsyat..Lu liat dimana banyak merek dagang jadul masih bisa ditemuin di film itu..Mobil tahun 70an motornya speda-speda..lokasi yang dahsyat..Film ini powerful dan layak dapet PIALA CITRA dari Kru sampai aranser musik, para pemain dan penulis naskahnya..dahsyat..klo jempol gw ada 10 gw kasih 10 jempol buat film ini..Riri reza&Miles bikin sejarah perfilman di Indonesia...Termasuk Andrea Hirata..sang penulis Novel Jenius...Kalau bisa dari film ini ada pergerakan moral sebagai aksi nyata bahwa pendidikan adalah hak setiap warga negara yang seharusnya dijamin oleh pemerintah..Stop caci maki dan dengki.. mari membangun semangat positif untuk membangun pendidikan di Indonesia..karena : "Tiada Kekuatan tanpa Aksi, tiada Aksi tanpa Inisiatif, tiada Inisiatif tanpa Rasa Cinta dan tiada Rasa Cinta tanpa Ilmu Pengetahuan"
Wujudkan sekolah gratis sampai tingkat perguruan tinggi di Indonesia..Siapa yang mau peduli? Kita semua harus peduli..

AlhamdulillahiRabbil Alamin..Ya Razaq..yaa Rahman..Ya Rahiim..Yaa Malik Alhamdulillah. Allahuma Shalli Ala Muhammad wa ala ali Muhammad kama shalaita ala Ibrahiim wa ala ali Ibrahiim Fil alamina innaka hammidummajiid.

"15] Kesejahteraan atas dirinya pada hari ia dilahirkan, dan pada hari ia meninggal dan pada hari ia dibangkitkan hidup kembali."(QS 19:15)

Tiada kata lain selain rasa syukur yang dapat kami rasakan.. Teringat setahun yang lalu dimana kami berjuang mempertahankan hidup seseorang nan indah bernama Annafsul Marhamah 19 Juli 2007 beliau lahir dalam keadaan prematur karena plasenta previa(Ari-ari ada di pintu mulut rahim). Sepertinya Marhamah memang sudah tak sabar untuk melihat indahnya Dunia dan kehidupan. Marhamah lahir diumur kandungan 8 bulan dimana pada waktu itu kemungkinan hidupnya 50%..Betapa indah mengenang hari-hari itu...Allah SWT memang tidak pernah meninggalkan hamba-NYA sendirian ketika hamba-NYA tawakkal dan ikhlas menerima apa yang Allah berikan. Kemampuan manusia melebihi ujian yang diberikan oleh Allah SWT. Jadi tidak mungkin Allah memberikan ujian tidak dengan memberikan jawaban untuk ujian tersebut. Bagaimana kita menyikapi setiap kejadian saja. Bila kita menganggap semua beban maka itu akan terjadi sesuai pikiran, anggapan dan kata-kata kita sendiri. Allah sesuai prasangka hamba-hamba-NYA. jika sang hamba berprasangka baik terhadap-NYA maka kejadian akan baik, namun jika sang hamba berprasangka buruk maka kejadian buruk yang akan menimpa dia. SubhanAllah sangat luar biasa hidupku ini ketika aku dilahirkan mengenal Allah SWT. Jika saja aku tidak mengenalnya wah repot deh... Alhamdulillah ya Rabbul Idzati..Terima kasih kepada saudar-saudaraku, teman, sahabat dan keluargaku yang mendukung kami disaat kami mengalami ujian berat. Semoga kebaikan kalian semua mendapatkan balasan yang terbaik dan lebih baik dari Allah SWT. Semoga Annafsul Marhamah bisa menjadi orang yang penuh kasih sayang sebagaimana Annafsul Marhamah bisa hidup karena kasih sayang Allah SWT dan orang-orang yang mengasihinya. Amin

Jalur sehat, jalur bersepeda

Jika bertandang ke China, akan tampak jelas pemandangan orang-orang yang lalu lalang menggunakan sepeda di ruas jalan protokol kota besar. Atau sesekali mampir ke Eropa, alat transportasi ramah lingkungan ini juga banyak digunakan bukan hanya kalangan anak-anak, melainkan juga orang dewasa berbagai kalangan.

Bagaimana dengan di Indonesia? Di negara kita tercinta ini, sepeda tampaknya menjadi barang yang langka digunakan sebagai alat transportasi. Alasan cuaca dan udara panas, tidak ada jalur sepeda khusus yang membuat pemakai sepeda enggan mengayuh sepeda mereka ke tempat tujuan.

Namun, belakangan ada beberapa kawasan yang sengaja menyediakan sekian hektare atau kilometer ruas jalannya untuk sarana publik dan digunakan sebagai kawasan jalur sepeda.

Tilik saja jalur sepeda yang ada di kampus Universitas Indonesia Depok (UI) sepanjang 30 kilometer. Awalnya jalur itu digunakan untuk penghubung para 'penghuni' UI yang ingin berpindah dari satu lokasi ke lokas lain. Jalur terobosan itu dianggap lebih efektif jika menggunakan sepeda sebagai alat transportasinya.

Jalur sepeda ini dimulai dari asrama UI dan melewati gedung Menwa terus menuju stasiun UI Depok dan bercabang di Fakultas Psikologi. Jalur berlanjut ke Fakultas Hukum, kemudian menyusuri bagian belakang masjid dan pinggiran danau hingga ke gedung rektorat.

Jalur sepeda ini merupakan realisasi dari kampus yang belakangan membangun identitas barunya sebagai green campus di bawah pimpinan Rektor Gumilar Rusliwa Somantri.

"Ini bisa jadi stimulan mereka yang ingin mengendarai sepeda, apalagi sesuai dengan kampanye global warming, sepeda sudah saatnya menjadi alat transportasi pilihan," ujar Toto Sugito dari PT Anggara Architeam yang juga ketua klub Bike to Work Jakarta.

Arsitek ini bahkan memiliki mimpi suatu saat semua kawasan di Jakarta memiliki jalur sepeda mengingat jumlah pengendara sepeda juga semakin banyak.

Toto menjamin jika semakin banyak orang menggunakan sepeda Jakarta tidak lagi panas karena jumlah pengendara kendaraan berbahan bakar minyak akan berkurang.

"Orang tidak disediakan sarana jalur sepeda saja jumlahnya sudah banyak, apalagi disediakan jalurnya, pasti jumlahnya semakin banyak juga," ujar Toto sembari menyebutkan anggota klub sepedanya kini sudah mencapai lebih dari 10.000 orang.

Selain UI, objek wisata Taman Impian Jaya Ancol juga memiliki sarana jalur khusus sepeda.

Adanya tren penggunaan sepeda dan banyak penghuni propertinya yang jogging dan bersepeda, membuat manajemen PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol Tbk mengembangkan fasilitas bersepeda dengan membuat jalur khusus di perumahaan yang ada di bagian barat dan timur, serta melintasi kawasan wisata.

Santai dan nyaman

Pertengahan bulan lalu Ancol menambah jalur khusus bersepeda yang ada di kawasan wisata itu. "Kami menyiapkan jalur khusus itu agar orang yang bersepeda lebih merasa santai dan nyaman sambil berekreasi," kata YJ. Harwanto, Kepala Departemen Corporate Plan PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol Tbk.

Penikmat trek sepeda umumnya datang setiap Minggu pagi baik umum, klub sepeda, maupun atau warga properti Jaya Ancol. Panjang rute jalur bersepeda sekitar 15 kilometer menyusuri wilayah properti dan rekreasi Ancol dan dilengkapi dengan petunjuk yang memenuhi standar lintasan bersepeda yang aman.

Sepeda yang dipakai ada yang milik pribadi dan ada pula yang disewakan oleh Ancol.

"Kami membuat jalur sepeda ini sebagai ajakan kepada masyarakat untuk menciptakan lingkungan yang tertata, sehat, dan hijau. Hal itu merupakan komitmen kami yang bersahabat dengan lingkungan," kata Kepala Bidang Corporate Communications PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol Tbk Sofia Cakti.

Selain gaya hidup ramah lingkungan dengan 3 R, yaitu reduce, reuse, dan recycle, bersepeda santai akan terus dikampanyekan kepada masyarakat. Idealisme Jakarta memiliki jalur sepeda sendiri juga sangat didambakan Budi Santoso, pengguna sepeda sekaligus moderator forum para pencinta dan pengguna sepeda seluruh Indonesia dalam situs You are not allowed to view links.

.

Bagi pria lajang yang sudah 10 tahun menetap di kawasan Eropa ini, Jakarta diharapkan bisa jadi Rotterdam di Belanda atau Mainz di Jerman yang memiliki jalur ramah bagi pengendara sepeda.

"Soal jalur sepeda yang ideal ya seperti di UI itu karena di sana jalur sepedanya hanya beriringan dengan pejalan kaki, bukan bercampur dengan sepeda motor," ujar Budi.

Bukan hal yang mustahil, Budi yang kini masih terus menyuarakan harapan dibangunnya jalur sepeda ini mengharapkan udara Jakarta juga semakin bersih seiring dengan berkurangnya para pengguna kendaraan berbahan bakar minyak yang beralih ke sepeda.(wulandari@bisnis.co.id/reni.efita@bisnis.co.id)

Ketika rasul, pembawa pesan, nabi yang diutus Tuhan banyak dipalsukan hingga keberadaan merekapun dipermasalahkan karena memang ada dasar yang sangat fatal untuk diusik oleh keberadaan mereka. Namun adakah kita memepermasalahkan nabi baru yang banyak diikuti para umatnya?? Ketika semua umat manusia digiring kepada satu keinginan dan hawa nafsu belaka. Ketika manusia dirubah pola pikirnya tanpa harus meninggalkan agamanya. Ketika manusia dibohongi tanpa terasa oleh opini yang sangat jauh dari kenetralan. Siapakah nabi baru yang jelas palsu itu? Televisi… Ya berbagai macam bentuknya namun efeknya wow luarbiasa. Memang tidak semua tayangannya merusak. Namun kebanyakan memang cendrung merusak. Tiap tayangan memiliki berbagai segmen. Dengan efek merusak fundamental dari sejak Balita sampai tua. Doktrin, Dogma, Euphoria, Penyakit, hedonisme, kapitalis, liberalisme dan semua yang tidak ada dalam menu kebaikan tersedia disana. Siapa para pengikutnya? Tentu saja para penonton yang tidak punya filter yang baik. Penonton yang hanya bisa menikmati dan mengikuti apa yang mereka lihat padahal hanya sedikit tayangan yang mendidik dan bermutu. Kebanyakan dari para penonton justru menyaksikan tayangan yang tidak mendidik dan tidak bermutu. Tanggung jawab siapa ini? Pemerintah sudah punya Lembaga sensor(Hampir mau ditutup karena permintaan kaum liberalis bejat) Komisi Penyiaran Indonesia dan banyak LSM yang sudah perduli akan pentingnya tayangan bermutu dan bahyanya tanyangan yang tidak bermutu. Semua di gelar di sebuah sistem yang serba abu-abu(Bersambung)

Aku melawanmu

2008-06-24T21:06:00.000-07:00

Lihat disana ketika kebijakan tidak lagi adil ketika kebijakan menjadi kepentingan ketika kebijakan menjadikan perbudakan ketika kebijakan tidak lagi bijak. Kekuasaan bukan lagi pelayanan kekuatan bukan lagi pertolongan kemerdekaan yang menindas. Aku disini melawanmu seperti kutukan berkala dimana eskalasinya seperti tentara penghancur. Akan kuhapus eksistensimu, kusiapkan generasi baru penerus perjuangan menghabisi generasi pekerja dan pencuri. Pejuang yang mau melayani rakyatnya. Pejuang yang tidak pernah menginginkan kerakusan dan kebengisan. Pejuang yang tidak membela kepentingan orang lain maupun sendiri. Generasi pejuang yang dengan keringat nan ikhlas dan kekuatan cerdas berkerja cerdas. Keadilan untuk semua dan semua bergerak untuk keadilan. Pergerakan yang tidak terlindas billboard, pergerakan yang tidak termakan zaman, pergerakan yang memiliki keyakinan kebersamaan tanpa harus mengedepankan bendera dan identitas. Bila kau tak kunjung berubah cukup sudah. Perlawanan akan dimulai kuakhiri generasi mu dengan generasi baru yang akan menghapus generasimu. Yaa terhapus sampai keakarnya tanpa sisa.

Dedicated to: SBY(Seseorang Berprilaku Yahudi) dan JK( Juragan Korupsi) dan semua generasi penerus kepemimpinan gagal kayak mereka.(Kehancuranmu sudah dekat)

Perlawanan

2008-06-17T23:26:00.000-07:00

Akan ku siapkan pemberontakan

Lantakan barisan sesatmu

Bubarkan kekuatan jaring laba-labamu

Pemberontakan yang tak terelakan

Pemberontakan kata-kata

Ketika semua umat manusia

Sadar akan terenggutnya kemerdekaan mereka

Melawan para raga tanpa jiwa

Pemberontakan nurani, raga dan jiwa

Takkan pernah kau bayangkan sebelumnya

Dimana bala tentara bersatu untuk tujuan yang sama

Tanpa kau sadari kehancuran merata

Tirani setan takkan tersisa

Waktu perburuan telah tiba

Ketika para raksasa memburu serigala

Ketika kalian tidak melihat kami sebagai domba

Perlawanan akan terus ada

Eskalasi bertendensi penghancuran

Demi penegakan kehidupan mulia

Untuk perdamaian sejati dan penerapan keadilan

Kepalkan Tangan

Satukan Barisan Hancurkan Tirani Setan !

100% Halal dan Thayyiban.

Ketika Pahlawan Melawan Tirani Setan

2008-06-03T18:23:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum Warrohmatullahiwabarokatuh.

Negri yang serba abu-abu dan tidak jelas seperti Indonesia ini tidak akan pernah ada habis dari cerita perlawanan melawan kemungkaran, ketidak adilan, dan penindasan. Loh memang siapa yang menjajah? Siapa yang menindas? Siapa yang memeras? Siapa yang curang? Tirani imperium setan yang berada dibelakang pemerintahan, konglomerat kapitalis, politikus bengis, para hit men perekonomian. Lalu apa mereka itu penjajah dari luar negri atau bukan? Lagi-lagi ke abu-abuan yang menjadikan kita bingung. Mereka bangsa kita sendiri, satu ras, terkadang satu agama, dan bahkan saudara kita sendiri mungkin. Mereka tanpa sadar telah melakukan kepentingan sang Imperium setan. Mereka hanyalah para pengikut imperium setan yang terkendali bagai zombie seperti dalang mengendalikan wayangnya. Wacana apa lagi yang harus mereka janjikan untuk negri ini?!

Para pahlawan hanya punya dua pilihan di sini. Mati atau dipenjara! Layaknya penjajahan yang menuduh para pejuang sebagai ancaman dan ekstrimisme. Teroris menjadi wacana untuk memberangus mereka. Headline pun berbicara tanpa kenetralan. Mereka selalu berpihak kepada Tirani Setan dengan mengeruk uang dan mengarahkan masyarakat kepada kerusakan fundamental. Kelak para pahlawan akan disibukan dengan melawan para penjajah lokal bermental setan. Tanpa bisa menyentuh Imperium Setan yang berdiri mengangkangi negri ini. Revolusi Allah SWT yang kelak akan memberangus mereka. Ketika malam selesai maka Pagi yang cerah akan kembali bersinar. ketika satu kesulitan akan dihanguskan dengan dua kemudahan, ketika setiap orang dapat merasakan keadilan dan kesejahteraan yang layak dibawah kepemimpinan yang bijak yang melawan dan menghancurkan Imperium Setan. Kelak semua akan terjadi. Tidak lama lagi.... yaa tidak lama lagi....

Jangan menunggu, para pahlawan telah menorehkan kesyahidan dan keberanian mereka. Konsistensi, resistensi dan daya tahan adalah jalan yang harus ditempuh para pahlawan untuk melawan Tirani setan. Kitalah penerus mereka, melawan kemapanan yang setani. Berbuat sesuatu yang berarti dan menjadi manfaat bagi orang banyak tanpa harus menuai untung. Mari kita lawan tirani setan dengan cara yang elegan sebagai seorang Muslim yang baik. Muslim yang baik dan Syuhada. Jangan menyerah wahai para pahlawan. Doa kami menyertaimu, perjuanganmu akan tetap berlanjut. Semoga kelak jasa-jasamu menjadi teman yang mendukungmu mengarungi kehidupan di dunia dan menghantarkanmu ke syurga. Semua aksimu akan menjadi pemicu bagi regenerasi para pahlawan penentang Tirani setan yang lebih baik. Amin ya robbal alamiin.

May Allah Bless you and give HIS Jannah as HIS pleasure. Amin

Dinar and Dirham is the real Money Currency

Investasi Emas : Koin Dinar, Emas Lantakan Atau Emas Perhiasan ?
http://geraidinar.com

Pertanyaan ini sering sekali sampai ke saya dalam berbagai keempatan, Baik lewat email, kesempatan tanya jawab dalam ceramah atau bahkan banyak sekali pembeli Dinar sebelum mereka mulai membeli – mereka menanyakan dahulu masalah ini.

Ketiga-tiganya tentu memiliki kesamaan karena bahannya memang sama. Kesamaan tersebut terletak pada keunggulan investasi tiga bentuk emas ini yaitu semuanya memiliki nilai nyata (tangible), senilai benda fisiknya (intrinsic) dan dan nilai yang melekat/bawaan pada benda itu (innate). Ketiga keunggulan nilai ini tdak dimiliki oleh investasi bentuk lain seperti saham, surat berharga dan uang kertas.

Default value (nilai asal) dari investasi emas tinggi – kalau tidak ada campur tangan berbagai pihak dengan kepentingannya sendiri-sendiri otomatis nilai emas akan kembali ke nilai yang sesungguhnya – yang memang tinggi.

Sebaliknya default value (nilai) uang kertas, saham, surat berharga mendekati nol , karena kalau ada kegagalan dari pihak yang mengeluarkannya untuk menunaikan kewajibannya –uang kertas, saham dan surat berharga menjadi hanya senilai kayu bakar.

Nah sekarang sama-sama investasi emas, mana yang kita pilih ? Koin Emas, Emas Lantakan atau Perhiasan ? Disini saya berikan perbandingannya saja yang semoga objektif sehingga pembaca bisa memilih sendiri - Agar keputusan Anda tidak terpengaruh oleh pendapat saya – karena kalau pendapat saya tentu ke Dinar karena inilah yang saya masyarakatkan.

Kelebihan Dinar :
1. Memiliki sifat unit account ; mudah dijumlahkan dan dibagi. Kalau kita punya 100 Dinar – hari ini mau kita pakai 5 Dinar maka tinggal dilepas yang 5 Dinar dan di simpan yang 95 Dinar.
2. Sangat liquid untuk diperjual belikan karena kemudahan dibagi dan dijumlahkan di atas.
3. Memiliki nilai da’wah tinggi karena sosialisasi Dinar akan mendorong sosialisasi syariat Islam itu sendiri. Nishab Zakat misalnya ditentukan dengan Dinar atau Dirham - umat akan sulit menghitung zakat dengan benar apabila tidak mengetahui Dinar dan Dirham ini.
4. Nilai Jual kembali tinggi, mengikuti perkembangan harga emas internasional; hanya dengan dikurangkan biaya administrasi dan penjualan sekitar 4% dari harga pasar. Jadi kalau sepanjang tahun lalu Dinar mengalami kenaikan 31 %, maka setelah dipotong biaya 4 % tersebut hasil investasi kita masih sekitar 27%.
5. Mudah diperjual belikan sesama pengguna karena tidak ada kendala model dan ukuran.

Kelemahan Dinar :
1. Di Indonesia masih dianggap perhiasan, penjual terkena PPN 10% (Sesuai KEPUTUSAN MENTERI KEUANGAN REPUBLIK INDONESIA NOMOR 83/KMK.03/2002 bisa diperhitungkan secara netto antara pajak keluaran dan pajak masukan toko emas maka yang harus dibayar ‘toko emas’ penjual Dinar adalah 2%).
2. Ongkos cetak masih relatif tinggi yaitu berkisar antara 3% - 5 % dari nilai barang tergantung dari jumlah pesanan.

Kelebihan Emas Lantakan :
1. Tidak terkena PPN
2. Apabila yang kita beli dalam unit 1 kiloan – tidak terkena biaya cetak.
3. Nilai jual kembali tinggi.

Kelemahan Emas Lantakan :
1. Tidak fleksibel; kalau kita simpan emas 1 kg, kemudian kita butuhkan 10 gram untuk keperluan tunai – tidak mudah untuk dipotong. Artinya harus dijual dahulu yang 1 kg, digunakan sebagian tunai – sebagian dibelikan lagi dalam unit yang lebih kecil – maka akan ada kehilangan biaya penjualan/adiminstrasi yang beberapa kali.
2. Kalau yang kita simpan unit kecil seperti unit 1 gram, 5 gram, 10 gram – maka biaya cetaknya akan cukup tinggi.
3. Tidak mudah diperjual belikan sesama pengguna karena adanya kendala ukuran. Pengguna yang butuh 100 gram, dia tidak akan tertarik membeli dari pengguna lain yang mempunyai kumpulan 10 gram-an. Pengguna yang akan menjual 100 gram tidak bisa menjual ke dua orang yang masing-masing butuh 50 gram dst.

Kelebihan Emas Perhiasan :
1. Selain untuk investasi, dapat digunakan untuk keperluan lain – dipakai sebagai perhiasan.

Kelemahan Perhaiasn :
1. Biaya produksi tinggi
2. Terkena PPN
3. Tidak mudah diperjual belikan sesama pengguna karena kendala model dan ukuran.

Dari perbandingan-perbandingan tersebut, kita bisa memilih sendiri bentuk investasi emas yang mana yang paling tepat untuk kita. Wallahu A'lam.

The Protocols of Zion(Let's erase their exixtance)

2008-05-29T17:56:00.001-07:00

PROTOCOLS OF THE MEETINGS
OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 1

1. ....Putting aside fine phrases we shall speak of the significance of each thought: by comparisons and deductions we shall throw light upon surrounding facts.

2. What I am about to set forth, then, is our system from the two points of view, that of ourselves and that of the GOYIM [i.e., non-Jews].

3. It must be noted that men with bad instincts are more in number than the good, and therefore the best results in governing them are attained by violence and terrorisation, and not by academic discussions. Every man aims at power, everyone would like to become a dictator if only he could, and rare indeed are the men who would not be willing to sacrifice the welfare of all for the sake of securing their own welfare.

4. What has restrained the beasts of prey who are called men? What has served for their guidance hitherto?

5. In the beginnings of the structure of society, they were subjected to brutal and blind force; afterwards - to Law, which is the same force, only disguised. I draw the conclusion that by the law of nature, right lies in force.

6. Political freedom is an idea but not a fact. This idea one must know how to apply whenever it appears necessary with this bait of an idea to attract the masses of the people to one's party for the purpose of crushing another who is in authority. This task is rendered easier if the opponent has himself been infected with the idea of freedom, SO-CALLED LIBERALISM, and, for the sake of an idea, is willing to yield some of his power. It is precisely here that the triumph of our theory appears; the slackened reins of government are immediately, by the law of life, caught up and gathered together by a new hand, because the blind might of the nation cannot for one single day exist without guidance, and the new authority merely fits into the place of the old already weakened by liberalism.

7. In our day the power which has replaced that of the rulers who were liberal is the power of Gold. Time was when Faith ruled. The idea of freedom is impossible of realization because no one knows how to use it with moderation. It is enough to hand over a people to self-government for a certain length of time for that people to be turned into a disorganized mob. From that moment on we get internecine strife which soon develops into battles between classes, in the midst of which States burn down and their importance is reduced to that of a heap of ashes.

8. Whether a State exhausts itself in its own convulsions, whether its internal discord brings it under the power of external foes - in any case it can be accounted irretrievably lost: IT IS IN OUR POWER. The despotism of Capital, which is entirely in our hands, reaches out to it a straw that the State, willy-nilly, must take hold of: if not - it goes to the bottom.

9. Should anyone of a liberal mind say that such reflections as the above are immoral, I would put the following questions: If every State has two foes and if in regard to the external foe it is allowed and not considered immoral to use every manner and art of conflict, as for example to keep the enemy in ignorance of plans of attack and defense, to attack him by night or in superior numbers, then in what way can the same means in regard to a worse foe, the destroyer of the structure of society and the commonweal, be called immoral and not permissible?

10. Is it possible for any sound logical mind to hope with any success to guide crowds by the aid of reasonable counsels and arguments, when any objection or contradiction, senseless though it may be, can be made and when such objection may find more favor with the people, whose powers of reasoning are superficial? Men in masses and the men of the masses, being guided solely by petty passions, paltry beliefs, traditions and sentimental theorems, fall a prey to party dissension, which hinders any kind of agreement even on the basis of a perfectly reasonable argument. Every resolution of a crowd depends upon a chance or packed majority, which, in its ignorance of political secrets, puts forth some ridiculous resolution that lays in the administration a seed of anarchy.

11. The political has nothing in common with the moral. The ruler who is governed by the moral is not a skilled politician, and is therefore unstable on his throne. He who wishes to rule must have recourse both to cunning and to make-believe. Great national qualities, like frankness and honesty, are vices in politics, for they bring down rulers from their thrones more effectively and more certainly than the most powerful enemy. Such qualities must be the attributes of the kingdoms of the GOYIM, but we must in no wise be guided by them.

12. Our right lies in force. The word "right" is an abstract thought and proved by nothing. The word means no more than: Give me what I want in order that thereby I may have a proof that I am stronger than you.

13. Where does right begin? Where does it end?

14. In any State in which there is a bad organization of authority, an impersonality of laws and of the rulers who have lost their personality amid the flood of rights ever multiplying out of liberalism, I find a new right - to attack by the right of the strong, and to scatter to the winds all existing forces of order and regulation, to reconstruct all institutions and to become the sovereign lord of those who have left to us the rights of their power by laying them down voluntarily in their liberalism.

15. Our power in the present tottering condition of all forms of power will be more invincible than any other, because it will remain invisible until the moment when it has gained such strength that no cunning can any longer undermine it.

16. Out of the temporary evil we are now compelled to commit will emerge the good of an unshakable rule, which will restore the regular course of the machinery of the national life, brought to naught by liberalism. The result justifies the means. Let us, however, in our plans, direct our attention not so much to what is good and moral as to what is necessary and useful.

17. Before us is a plan in which is laid down strategically the line from which we cannot deviate without running the risk of seeing the labor of many centuries brought to naught.

18. In order to elaborate satisfactory forms of action it is necessary to have regard to the rascality, the slackness, the instability of the mob, its lack of capacity to understand and respect the conditions of its own life, or its own welfare. It must be understood that the might of a mob is blind, senseless and un-reasoning force ever at the mercy of a suggestion from any side. The blind cannot lead the blind without bringing them into the abyss; consequently, members of the mob, upstarts from the people even though they should be as a genius for wisdom, yet having no understanding of the political, cannot come forward as leaders of the mob without bringing the whole nation to ruin.

19. Only one trained from childhood for independent rule can have understanding of the words that can be made up of the political alphabet.

20. A people left to itself, i.e., to upstarts from its midst, brings itself to ruin by party dissensions excited by the pursuit of power and honors and the disorders arising therefrom. Is it possible for the masses of the people calmly and without petty jealousies to form judgment, to deal with the affairs of the country, which cannot be mixed up with personal interest? Can they defend themselves from an external foe? It is unthinkable; for a plan broken up into as many parts as there are heads in the mob, loses all homogeneity, and thereby becomes unintelligible and impossible of execution.

21. It is only with a despotic ruler that plans can be elaborated extensively and clearly in such a way as to distribute the whole properly among the several parts of the machinery of the State: from this the conclusion is inevitable that a satisfactory form of government for any country is one that concentrates in the hands of one responsible person. Without an absolute despotism there can be no existence for civilization which is carried on not by the masses but by their guide, whosoever that person may be. The mob is savage, and displays its savagery at every opportunity. The moment the mob seizes freedom in its hands it quickly turns to anarchy, which in itself is the highest degree of savagery.

22. Behold the alcoholic animals, bemused with drink, the right to an immoderate use of which comes along with freedom. It is not for us and ours to walk that road. The peoples of the GOYIM are bemused with alcoholic liquors; their youth has grown stupid on classicism and from early immorality, into which it has been inducted by our special agents - by tutors, lackeys, governesses in the houses of the wealthy, by clerks and others, by our women in the places of dissipation frequented by the GOYIM. In the number of these last I count also the so-called "society ladies," voluntary followers of the others in corruption and luxury.

23. Our countersign is - Force and Make-believe. Only force conquers in political affairs, especially if it be concealed in the talents essential to statesmen. Violence must be the principle, and cunning and make-believe the rule for governments which do not want to lay down their crowns at the feet of agents of some new power. This evil is the one and only means to attain the end, the good. Therefore we must not stop at bribery, deceit and treachery when they should serve towards the attainment of our end. In politics one must know how to seize the property of others without hesitation if by it we secure submission and sovereignty.

24. Our State, marching along the path of peaceful conquest, has the right to replace the horrors of war by less noticeable and more satisfactory sentences of death, necessary to maintain the terror which tends to produce blind submission. Just but merciless severity is the greatest factor of strength in the State: not only for the sake of gain but also in the name of duty, for the sake of victory, we must keep to the programme of violence and make-believe. The doctrine of squaring accounts is precisely as strong as the means of which it makes use. Therefore it is not so much by the means themselves as by the doctrine of severity that we shall triumph and bring all governments into subjection to our super-government. It is enough for them to know that we are too merciless for all disobedience to cease.

25. Far back in ancient times we were the first to cry among the masses of the people the words "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," words many times repeated since these days by stupid poll-parrots who, from all sides around, flew down upon these baits and with them carried away the well-being of the world, true freedom of the individual, formerly so well guarded against the pressure of the mob. The would-be wise men of the GOYIM, the intellectuals, could not make anything out of the uttered words in their abstractedness; did not see that in nature there is no equality, cannot be freedom: that Nature herself has established inequality of minds, of characters, and capacities, just as immutably as she has established subordination to her laws: never stopped to think that the mob is a blind thing, that upstarts elected from among it to bear rule are, in regard to the political, the same blind men as the mob itself, that the adept, though he be a fool, can yet rule, whereas the non-adept, even if he were a genius, understands nothing in the political - to all those things the GOYIM paid no regard; yet all the time it was based upon these things that dynastic rule rested: the father passed on to the son a knowledge of the course of political affairs in such wise that none should know it but members of the dynasty and none could betray it to the governed. As time went on, the meaning of the dynastic transference of the true position of affairs in the political was lost, and this aided the success of our cause.

26. In all corners of the earth the words "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," brought to our ranks, thanks to our blind agents, whole legions who bore our banners with enthusiasm. And all the time these words were canker-worms at work boring into the well-being of the GOYIM, putting an end everywhere to peace, quiet, solidarity and destroying all the foundations of the GOY States. As you will see later, this helped us to our triumph: it gave us the possibility, among other things, of getting into our hands the master card - the destruction of the privileges, or in other words of the very existence of the aristocracy of the GOYIM, that class which was the only defense peoples and countries had against us. On the ruins of the natural and genealogical aristocracy of the GOYIM we have set up the aristocracy of our educated class headed by the aristocracy of money. The qualifications for this aristocracy we have established in wealth, which is dependent upon us, and in knowledge, for which our learned elders provide the motive force.

27. Our triumph has been rendered easier by the fact that in our relations with the men, whom we wanted, we have always worked upon the most sensitive chords of the human mind, upon the cash account, upon the cupidity, upon the insatiability for material needs of man; and each one of these human weaknesses, taken alone, is sufficient to paralyze initiative, for it hands over the will of men to the disposition of him who has bought their activities.

28. The abstraction of freedom has enabled us to persuade the mob in all countries that their government is nothing but the steward of the people who are the owners of the country, and that the steward may be replaced like a worn-out glove.

29. It is this possibility of replacing the representatives of the people which has placed at our disposal, and, as it were, given us the power of appointment.

PROTOCOL No. 2

1. It is indispensable for our purpose that wars, so far as possible, should not result in territorial gains: war will thus be brought on to the economic ground, where the nations will not fail to perceive in the assistance we give the strength of our predominance, and this state of things will put both sides at the mercy of our international AGENTUR; which possesses millions of eyes ever on the watch and unhampered by any limitations whatsoever. Our international rights will then wipe out national rights, in the proper sense of right, and will rule the nations precisely as the civil law of States rules the relations of their subjects among themselves.

2. The administrators, whom we shall choose from among the public, with strict regard to their capacities for servile obedience, will not be persons trained in the arts of government, and will therefore easily become pawns in our game in the hands of men of learning and genius who will be their advisers, specialists bred and reared from early childhood to rule the affairs of the whole world. As is well known to you, these specialists of ours have been drawing to fit them for rule the information they need from our political plans from the lessons of history, from observations made of the events of every moment as it passes. The GOYIM are not guided by practical use of unprejudiced historical observation, but by theoretical routine without any critical regard for consequent results. We need not, therefore, take any account of them - let them amuse themselves until the hour strikes, or live on hopes of new forms of enterprising pastime, or on the memories of all they have enjoyed. For them let that play the principal part which we have persuaded them to accept as the dictates of science. It is with this object in view that we are constantly, by means of our press, arousing a blind confidence in these theories. The intellectuals of the GOYIM will puff themselves up with their knowledges and without any logical verification of them will put into effect all the information available from science, which our AGENTUR specialists have cunningly pieced together for the purpose of educating their minds in the direction we want.

3. Do not suppose for a moment that these statements are empty words: think carefully of the successes we arranged for Darwinism, Marxism, Nietzsche-ism. To us Jews, at any rate, it should be plain to see what a disintegrating importance these directives have had upon the minds of the GOYIM.

4. It is indispensable for us to take account of the thoughts, characters, tendencies of the nations in order to avoid making slips in the political and in the direction of administrative affairs. The triumph of our system of which the component parts of the machinery may be variously disposed according to the temperament of the peoples met on our way, will fail of success if the practical application of it be not based upon a summing up of the lessons of the past in the light of the present.

5. In the hands of the States of to-day there is a great force that creates the movement of thought in the people, and that is the Press. The part played by the Press is to keep pointing our requirements supposed to be indispensable, to give voice to the complaints of the people, to express and to create discontent. It is in the Press that the triumph of freedom of speech finds its incarnation. But the GOYIM States have not known how to make use of this force; and it has fallen into our hands. Through the Press we have gained the power to influence while remaining ourselves in the shade; thanks to the Press we have got the GOLD in our hands, notwithstanding that we have had to gather it out of the oceans of blood and tears. But it has paid us, though we have sacrificed many of our people. Each victim on our side is worth in the sight of God a thousand GOYIM.

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 3

1. To-day I may tell you that our goal is now only a few steps off. There remains a small space to cross and the whole long path we have trodden is ready now to close its cycle of the Symbolic Snake, by which we symbolize our people. When this ring closes, all the States of Europe will be locked in its coil as in a powerful vice.

2. The constitution scales of these days will shortly break down, for we have established them with a certain lack of accurate balance in order that they may oscillate incessantly until they wear through the pivot on which they turn. The GOYIM are under the impression that they have welded them sufficiently strong and they have all along kept on expecting that the scales would come into equilibrium. But the pivots - the kings on their thrones - are hemmed in by their representatives, who play the fool, distraught with their own uncontrolled and irresponsible power. This power they owe to the terror which has been breathed into the palaces. As they have no means of getting at their people, into their very midst, the kings on their thrones are no longer able to come to terms with them and so strengthen themselves against seekers after power. We have made a gulf between the far-seeing Sovereign Power and the blind force of the people so that both have lost all meaning, for like the blind man and his stick, both are powerless apart.

3. In order to incite seekers after power to a misuse of power we have set all forces in opposition one to another, breaking up their liberal tendencies towards independence. To this end we have stirred up every form of enterprise, we have armed all parties, we have set up authority as a target for every ambition. Of States we have made gladiatorial arenas where a lot of confused issues contend ... A little more, and disorders and bankruptcy will be universal ...

4. Babblers, inexhaustible, have turned into oratorical contests the sittings of Parliament and Administrative Boards. Bold journalists and unscrupulous pamphleteers daily fall upon executive officials. Abuses of power will put the final touch in preparing all institutions for their overthrow and everything will fly skyward under the blows of the maddened mob.

5. All people are chained down to heavy toil by poverty more firmly than ever. They were chained by slavery and serfdom; from these, one way and another, they might free themselves. These could be settled with, but from want they will never get away. We have included in the constitution such rights as to the masses appear fictitious and not actual rights. All these so-called "Peoples Rights" can exist only in idea, an idea which can never be realized in practical life. What is it to the proletariat laborer, bowed double over his heavy toil, crushed by his lot in life, if talkers get the right to babble, if journalists get the right to scribble any nonsense side by side with good stuff, once the proletariat has no other profit out of the constitution save only those pitiful crumbs which we fling them from our table in return for their voting in favor of what we dictate, in favor of the men we place in power, the servants of our AGENTUR ... Republican rights for a poor man are no more than a bitter piece of irony, for the necessity he is under of toiling almost all day gives him no present use of them, but the other hand robs him of all guarantee of regular and certain earnings by making him dependent on strikes by his comrades or lockouts by his masters.

6. The people, under our guidance, have annihilated the aristocracy, who were their one and only defense and foster-mother for the sake of their own advantage which is inseparably bound up with the well-being of the people. Nowadays, with the destruction of the aristocracy, the people have fallen into the grips of merciless money-grinding scoundrels who have laid a pitiless and cruel yoke upon the necks of the workers.

7. We appear on the scene as alleged saviours of the worker from this oppression when we propose to him to enter the ranks of our fighting forces - Socialists, Anarchists, Communists - to whom we always give support in accordance with an alleged brotherly rule of our SOCIAL MASONRY. The aristocracy, which enjoyed by law the labor of the workers, was interested in seeing that the workers were well fed, healthy, and strong. We are interested in just the opposite - in the diminution, the KILLING OUT OF THE GOYIM. Our power is in the chronic shortness of food and physical weakness of the worker because by all that this implies he is made the slave of our will, and he will not find in his own authorities either strength or energy to set against our will. Hunger creates the right of capital to rule the worker more surely than it was given to the aristocracy by the legal authority of kings.

8. By want and the envy and hatred which it engenders we shall move the mobs and with their hands we shall wipe out all those who hinder us on our way.

9. WHEN THE HOUR STRIKES FOR OUR SOVEREIGN LORD OF ALL THE WORLD TO BE CROWNED IT IS THESE SAME HANDS WHICH WILL SWEEP AWAY EVERYTHING THAT MIGHT BE A HINDRANCE THERETO.

10. The GOYIM have lost the habit of thinking unless prompted by the suggestions of our specialists. Therefore they do not see the urgent necessity of what we, when our kingdom comes, shall adopt at once, namely this, that IT IS ESSENTIAL TO TEACH IN NATIONAL SCHOOLS ONE SIMPLE, TRUE PIECE OF KNOWLEDGE, THE BASIS OF ALL KNOWLEDGE - THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE STRUCTURE OF HUMAN LIFE, OF SOCIAL EXISTENCE, WHICH REQUIRES DIVISION OF LABOR, AND, CONSEQUENTLY, THE DIVISION OF MEN INTO CLASSES AND CONDITIONS. It is essential for all to know that OWING TO DIFFERENCE IN THE OBJECTS OF HUMAN ACTIVITY THERE CANNOT BE ANY EQUALITY, that he, who by any act of his compromises a whole class, cannot be equally responsible before the law with him who affects no one but only his own honor. The true knowledge of the structure of society, into the secrets of which we do not admit the GOYIM, would demonstrate to all men that the positions and work must be kept within a certain circle, that they may not become a source of human suffering, arising from an education which does not correspond with the work which individuals are called upon to do. After a thorough study of this knowledge, the peoples will voluntarily submit to authority and accept such position as is appointed them in the State. In the present state of knowledge and the direction we have given to its development of the people, blindly believing things in print - cherishes - thanks to promptings intended to mislead and to its own ignorance - a blind hatred towards all conditions which it considers above itself, for it has no understanding of the meaning of class and condition.

11. THIS HATRED WILL BE STILL FURTHER MAGNIFIED BY THE EFFECTS of an ECONOMIC CRISES, which will stop dealing on the exchanges and bring industry to a standstill. We shall create by all the secret subterranean methods open to us and with the aid of gold, which is all in our hands, A UNIVERSAL ECONOMIC CRISES WHEREBY WE SHALL THROW UPON THE STREETS WHOLE MOBS OF WORKERS SIMULTANEOUSLY IN ALL THE COUNTRIES OF EUROPE. These mobs will rush delightedly to shed the blood of those whom, in the simplicity of their ignorance, they have envied from their cradles, and whose property they will then be able to loot.

12. "OURS" THEY WILL NOT TOUCH, BECAUSE THE MOMENT OF ATTACK WILL BE KNOWN TO US AND WE SHALL TAKE MEASURES TO PROTECT OUR OWN.

13. We have demonstrated that progress will bring all the GOYIM to the sovereignty of reason. Our despotism will be precisely that; for it will know how, by wise severities, to pacificate all unrest, to cauterize liberalism out of all institutions.

14. When the populace has seen that all sorts of concessions and indulgences are yielded it, in the same name of freedom it has imagined itself to be sovereign lord and has stormed its way to power, but, naturally like every other blind man, it has come upon a host of stumbling blocks. IT HAS RUSHED TO FIND A GUIDE, IT HAS NEVER HAD THE SENSE TO RETURN TO THE FORMER STATE and it has laid down its plenipotentiary powers at OUR feet. Remember the French Revolution, to which it was we who gave the name of "Great": the secrets of its preparations are well known to us for it was wholly the work of our hands.

15. Ever since that time we have been leading the peoples from one disenchantment to another, so that in the end they should turn also from us in favor of that KING-DESPOT OF THE BLOOD OF ZION, WHOM WE ARE PREPARING FOR THE WORLD.

16. At the present day we are, as an international force, invincible, because if attacked by some we are supported by other States. It is the bottomless rascality of the GOYIM peoples, who crawl on their bellies to force, but are merciless towards weakness, unsparing to faults and indulgent to crimes, unwilling to bear the contradictions of a free social system but patient unto martyrdom under the violence of a bold despotism - it is those qualities which are aiding us to independence. From the premier-dictators of the present day, the GOYIM peoples suffer patiently and bear such abuses as for the least of them they would have beheaded twenty kings.

17. What is the explanation of this phenomenon, this curious inconsequence of the masses of the peoples in their attitude towards what would appear to be events of the same order?

18. It is explained by the fact that these dictators whisper to the peoples through their agents that through these abuses they are inflicting injury on the States with the highest purpose - to secure the welfare of the peoples, the international brotherhood of them all, their solidarity and equality of rights. Naturally they do not tell the peoples that this unification must be accomplished only under our sovereign rule.

19. And thus the people condemn the upright and acquit the guilty, persuaded ever more and more that it can do whatsoever it wishes. Thanks to this state of things, the people are destroying every kind of stability and creating disorders at every step.

20. The word "freedom" brings out the communities of men to fight against every kind of force, against every kind of authority even against God and the laws of nature. For this reason we, when we come into our kingdom, shall have to erase this word from the lexicon of life as implying a principle of brute force which turns mobs into bloodthirsty beasts.

21. These beasts, it is true, fall asleep again every time when they have drunk their fill of blood, and at such time can easily be riveted into their chains. But if they be not given blood they will not sleep and continue to struggle.

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 4

1. Every republic passes through several stages. The first of these is comprised in the early days of mad raging by the blind mob, tossed hither and thither, right and left: the second is demagogy from which is born anarchy, and that leads inevitably to despotism - not any longer legal and overt, and therefore responsible despotism, but to unseen and secretly hidden, yet nevertheless sensibly felt despotism in the hands of some secret organization or other, whose acts are the more unscrupulous inasmuch as it works behind a screen, behind the backs of all sorts of agents, the changing of whom not only does not injuriously affect but actually aids the secret force by saving it, thanks to continual changes, from the necessity of expanding its resources on the rewarding of long services.

2. Who and what is in a position to overthrow an invisible force? And this is precisely what our force is. GENTILE masonry blindly serves as a screen for us and our objects, but the plan of action of our force, even its very abiding-place, remains for the whole people an unknown mystery.

3. But even freedom might be harmless and have its place in the State economy without injury to the well-being of the peoples if it rested upon the foundation of faith in God, upon the brotherhood of humanity, unconnected with the conception of equality, which is negatived by the very laws of creation, for they have established subordination. With such a faith as this a people might be governed by a wardship of parishes, and would walk contentedly and humbly under the guiding hand of its spiritual pastor submitting to the dispositions of God upon earth. This is the reason why IT IS INDISPENSABLE FOR US TO UNDERMINE ALL FAITH, TO TEAR OUT OF THE MIND OF THE "GOYIM" THE VERY PRINCIPLE OF GOD-HEAD AND THE SPIRIT, AND TO PUT IN ITS PLACE ARITHMETICAL CALCULATIONS AND MATERIAL NEEDS.

4. In order to give the GOYIM no time to think and take note, their minds must be diverted towards industry and trade. Thus, all the nations will be swallowed up in the pursuit of gain and in the race for it will not take note of their common foe. But again, in order that freedom may once for all disintegrate and ruin the communities of the GOYIM, we must put industry on a speculative basis: the result of this will be that what is withdrawn from the land by industry will slip through the hands and pass into speculation, that is, to our classes.

5. The intensified struggle for superiority and shocks delivered to economic life will create, nay, have already created, disenchanted, cold and heartless communities. Such communities will foster a strong aversion towards the higher political and towards religion. Their only guide is gain, that is Gold, which they will erect into a veritable cult, for the sake of those material delights which it can give. Then will the hour strike when, not for the sake of attaining the good, not even to win wealth, but solely out of hatred towards the privileged, the lower classes of the GOYIM will follow our lead against our rivals for power, the intellectuals of the GOYIM.

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 5

1. What form of administrative rule can be given to communities in which corruption has penetrated everywhere, communities where riches are attained only by the clever surprise tactics of semi-swindling tricks; where loseness reigns: where morality is maintained by penal measures and harsh laws but not by voluntarily accepted principles: where the feelings towards faith and country are obligated by cosmopolitan convictions? What form of rule is to be given to these communities if not that despotism which I shall describe to you later? We shall create an intensified centralization of government in order to grip in our hands all the forces of the community. We shall regulate mechanically all the actions of the political life of our subjects by new laws. These laws will withdraw one by one all the indulgences and liberties which have been permitted by the GOYIM, and our kingdom will be distinguished by a despotism of such magnificent proportions as to be at any moment and in every place in a position to wipe out any GOYIM who oppose us by deed or word.

2. We shall be told that such a despotism as I speak of is not consistent with the progress of these days, but I will prove to you that it is.

3. In the times when the peoples looked upon kings on their thrones as on a pure manifestation of the will of God, they submitted without a murmur to the despotic power of kings: but from the day when we insinuated into their minds the conception of their own rights they began to regard the occupants of thrones as mere ordinary mortals. The holy unction of the Lord's Anointed has fallen from the heads of kings in the eyes of the people, and when we also robbed them of their faith in God the might of power was flung upon the streets into the place of public proprietorship and was seized by us.

4. Moreover, the art of directing masses and individuals by means of cleverly manipulated theory and verbiage, by regulations of life in common and all sorts of other quirks, in all which the GOYIM understand nothing, belongs likewise to the specialists of our administrative brain. Reared on analysis, observation, on delicacies of fine calculation, in this species of skill we have no rivals, any more than we have either in the drawing up of plans of political actions and solidarity. In this respect the Jesuits alone might have compared with us, but we have contrived to discredit them in the eyes of the unthinking mob as an overt organization, while we ourselves all the while have kept our secret organization in the shade. However, it is probably all the same to the world who is its sovereign lord, whether the head of Catholicism or our despot of the blood of Zion! But to us, the Chosen People, it is very far from being a matter of indifference.

5. FOR A TIME PERHAPS WE MIGHT BE SUCCESSFULLY DEALT WITH BY A COALITION OF THE "GOYIM" OF ALL THE WORLD: but from this danger we are secured by the discord existing among them whose roots are so deeply seated that they can never now be plucked up. We have set one against another the personal and national reckonings of the GOYIM, religious and race hatreds, which we have fostered into a huge growth in the course of the past twenty centuries. This is the reason why there is not one State which would anywhere receive support if it were to raise its arm, for every one of them must bear in mind that any agreement against us would be unprofitable to itself. We are too strong - there is no evading our power. THE NATIONS CANNOT COME TO EVEN AN INCONSIDERABLE PRIVATE AGREEMENT WITHOUT OUR SECRETLY HAVING A HAND IN IT.

6. PER ME REGES REGNANT. "It is through me that Kings reign." And it was said by the prophets that we were chosen by God Himself to rule over the whole earth. God has endowed us with genius that we may be equal to our task. Were genius in the opposite camp it would still struggle against us, but even so, a newcomer is no match for the old-established settler: the struggle would be merciless between us, such a fight as the world has never seen. Aye, and the genius on their side would have arrived too late. All the wheels of the machinery of all States go by the force of the engine, which is in our hands, and that engine of the machinery of States is - Gold. The science of political economy invented by our learned elders has for long past been giving royal prestige to capital.

7. Capital, if it is to co-operate untrammeled, must be free to establish a monopoly of industry and trade: this is already being put in execution by an unseen hand in all quarters of the world. This freedom will give political force to those engaged in industry, and that will help to oppress the people. Nowadays it is more important to disarm the peoples than to lead them into war: more important to use for our advantage the passions which have burst into flames than to quench their fire: more important to eradicate them. THE PRINCIPLE OBJECT OF OUR DIRECTORATE CONSISTS IN THIS: TO DEBILITATE THE PUBLIC MIND BY CRITICISM; TO LEAD IT AWAY FROM SERIOUS REFLECTIONS CALCULATED TO AROUSE RESISTANCE; TO DISTRACT THE FORCES OF THE MIND TOWARDS A SHAM FIGHT OF EMPTY ELOQUENCE.

8. In all ages the people of the world, equally with individuals, have accepted words for deeds, for THEY ARE CONTENT WITH A SHOW and rarely pause to note, in the public arena, whether promises are followed by performance. Therefore we shall establish show institutions which will give eloquent proof of their benefit to progress.

9. We shall assume to ourselves the liberal physiognomy of all parties, of all directions, and we shall give that physiognomy a VOICE IN ORATORS WHO WILL SPEAK SO MUCH THAT THEY WILL EXHAUST THE PATIENCE OF THEIR HEARERS AND PRODUCE AN ABHORRENCE OF ORATORY.

10. IN ORDER TO PUT PUBLIC OPINION INTO OUR HANDS WE MUST BRING IT INTO A STATE OF BEWILDERMENT BY GIVING EXPRESSION FROM ALL SIDES TO SO MANY CONTRADICTORY OPINIONS AND FOR SUCH LENGTH OF TIME AS WILL SUFFICE TO MAKE THE "GOYIM" LOSE THEIR HEADS IN THE LABYRINTH AND COME TO SEE THAT THE BEST THING IS TO HAVE NO OPINION OF ANY KIND IN MATTERS POLITICAL, which it is not given to the public to understand, because they are understood only by him who guides the public. This is the first secret.

11. The second secret requisite for the success of our government is comprised in the following: To multiply to such an extent national failings, habits, passions, conditions of civil life, that it will be impossible for anyone to know where he is in the resulting chaos, so that the people in consequence will fail to understand one another. This measure will also serve us in another way, namely, to sow discord in all parties, to dislocate all collective forces which are still unwilling to submit to us, and to discourage any kind of personal initiative which might in any degree hinder our affair. THERE IS NOTHING MORE DANGEROUS THAN PERSONAL INITIATIVE: if it has genius behind it, such initiative can do more than can be done by millions of people among whom we have sown discord. We must so direct the education of the GOYIM communities that whenever they come upon a matter requiring initiative they may drop their hands in despairing impotence. The strain which results from freedom of actions saps the forces when it meets with the freedom of another. From this collision arise grave moral shocks, disenchantments, failures. BY ALL THESE MEANS WE SHALL SO WEAR DOWN THE "GOYIM" THAT THEY WILL BE COMPELLED TO OFFER US INTERNATIONAL POWER OF A NATURE THAT BY ITS POSITION WILL ENABLE US WITHOUT ANY VIOLENCE GRADUALLY TO ABSORB ALL THE STATE FORCES OF THE WORLD AND TO FORM A SUPER-GOVERNMENT. In place of the rulers of to-day we shall set up a bogey which will be called the Super-Government Administration. Its hands will reach out in all directions like nippers and its organization will be of such colossal dimensions that it cannot fail to subdue all the nations of the world.

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 6

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. It is essential therefore for us at whatever cost to deprive them of their land. This object will be best attained by increasing the burdens upon landed property - in loading lands with debts. These measures will check land-holding and keep it in a state of humble and unconditional submission.

5. The aristocrats of the GOYIM, being hereditarily incapable of contenting themselves with little, will rapidly burn up and fizzle out.

6. At the same time we must intensively patronize trade and industry, but, first and foremost, speculation, the part played by which is to provide a counterpoise to industry: the absence of speculative industry will multiply capital in private hands and will serve to restore agriculture by freeing the land from indebtedness to the land banks. What we want is that industry should drain off from the land both labor and capital and by means of speculation transfer into our hands all the money of the world, and thereby throw all the GOYIM into the ranks of the proletariat. Then the GOYIM will bow down before us, if for no other reason but to get the right to exist.

7. To complete the ruin of the industry of the GOYIM we shall bring to the assistance of speculation the luxury which we have developed among the GOYIM, that greedy demand for luxury which is swallowing up everything. 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 SIDE BY SIDE THEREWITH TAKING ALL MEASURE TO EXTIRPATE FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH ALL THE EDUCATED FORCES OF THE "GOYIM."

8. IN ORDER THAT THE TRUE MEANING OF THINGS MAY NOT STRIKE THE "GOYIM" BEFORE THE PROPER TIME WE SHALL MASK IT UNDER AN ALLEGED ARDENT DESIRE TO SERVE THE WORKING CLASSES AND THE GREAT PRINCIPLES OF POLITICAL ECONOMY ABOUT WHICH OUR ECONOMIC THEORIES ARE CARRYING ON AN ENERGETIC PROPAGANDA.

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 7

1. The intensification of armaments, the increase of police forces - are all essential for the completion of the aforementioned plans. What we have to get at is that there should be in all the States of the world, besides ourselves, only the masses of the proletariat, a few millionaires devoted to our interests, police and soldiers.

2. Throughout all Europe, and by means of relations with Europe, in other continents also, we must create ferments, discords and hostility. Therein we gain a double advantage. In the first place we keep in check all countries, for they will know that we have the power whenever we like to create disorders or to restore order. All these countries are accustomed to see in us an indispensable force of coercion. In the second place, by our intrigues we shall tangle up all the threads which we have stretched into the cabinets of all States by means of the political, by economic treaties, or loan obligations. In order to succeed in this we must use great cunning and penetration during negotiations and agreements, but, as regards what is called the "official language," we shall keep to the opposite tactics and assume the mask of honesty and complacency. In this way the peoples and governments of the GOYIM, whom we have taught to look only at the outside whatever we present to their notice, will still continue to accept us as the benefactors and saviours of the human race.

3. We must be in a position to respond to every act of opposition by war with the neighbors of that country which dares to oppose us: but if these neighbors should also venture to stand collectively together against us, then we must offer resistance by a universal war.

4. The principal factor of success in the political is the secrecy of its undertakings: the word should not agree with the deeds of the diplomat.

5. We must compel the governments of the GOYIM to take action in the direction favored by our widely conceived plan, already approaching the desired consummation, by what we shall represent as public opinion, secretly promoted by us through the means of that so-called "Great Power" - THE PRESS, WHICH, WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS THAT MAY BE DISREGARDED, IS ALREADY ENTIRELY IN OUR HANDS.

6. In a word, to sum up our system of keeping the governments of the goyim in Europe in check, we shall show our strength to one of them by terrorist attempts and to all, if we allow the possibility of a general rising against us, we shall respond with the guns of America or China or Japan.

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 8

1. We must arm ourselves with all the weapons which our opponents might employ against us. We must search out in the very finest shades of expression and the knotty points of the lexicon of law justification for those cases where we shall have to pronounce judgments that might appear abnormally audacious and unjust, for it is important that these resolutions should be set forth in expressions that shall seem to be the most exalted moral principles cast into legal form. Our directorate must surround itself with all these forces of civilization among which it will have to work. It will surround itself with publicists, practical jurists, administrators, diplomats and, finally, with persons prepared by a special super-educational training IN OUR SPECIAL SCHOOLS. These persons will have consonance of all the secrets of the social structure, they will know all the languages that can be made up by political alphabets and words; they will be made acquainted with the whole underside of human nature, with all its sensitive chords on which they will have to play. These chords are the cast of mind of the GOYIM, their tendencies, short-comings, vices and qualities, the particularities of classes and conditions. Needless to say that the talented assistants of authority, of whom I speak, will be taken not from among the GOYIM, who are accustomed to perform their administrative work without giving themselves the trouble to think what its aim is, and never consider what it is needed for. The administrators of the GOYIM sign papers without reading them, and they serve either for mercenary reasons or from ambition.

2. We shall surround our government with a whole world of economists. That is the reason why economic sciences form the principal subject of the teaching given to the Jews. Around us again will be a whole constellation of bankers, industrialists, capitalists and - THE MAIN THING - MILLIONAIRES, BECAUSE IN SUBSTANCE EVERYTHING WILL BE SETTLED BY THE QUESTION OF FIGURES.

3. For a time, until there will no longer be any risk in entrusting responsible posts in our State to our brother-Jews, we shall put them in the hands of persons whose past and reputation are such that between them and the people lies an abyss, persons who, in case of disobedience to our instructions, must face criminal charges or disappear - this in order to make them defend our interests to their last gasp.

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 9

1. In applying our principles let attention be paid to the character of the people in whose country you live and act; a general, identical application of them, until such time as the people shall have been re-educated to our pattern, cannot have success. But by approaching their application cautiously you will see that not a decade will pass before the most stubborn character will change and we shall add a new people to the ranks of those already subdued by us.

2. The words of the liberal, which are in effect the words of our masonic watchword, namely, "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," will, when we come into our kingdom, be changed by us into words no longer of a watchword, but only an expression of idealism, namely, into "The right of liberty, the duty of equality, the ideal of brotherhood." That is how we shall put it, - and so we shall catch the bull by the horns ... DE FACTO we have already wiped out every kind of rule except our own, although DE JURE there still remain a good many of them. Nowadays, if any States raise a protest against us it is only PRO FORMA at our discretion and by our direction, for THEIR ANTI-SEMITISM IS INDISPENSABLE TO US FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF OUR LESSER BRETHREN. I will not enter into further explanations, for this matter has formed the subject of repeated discussions amongst us.

3. For us there are not checks to limit the range of our activity. Our Super-Government subsists in extra-legal conditions which are described in the accepted terminology by the energetic and forcible word - Dictatorship. I am in a position to tell you with a clear conscience that at the proper time we, the law-givers, shall execute judgment and sentence, we shall slay and we shall spare, we, as head of all our troops, are mounted on the steed of the leader. We rule by force of will, because in our hands are the fragments of a once powerful party, now vanquished by us. AND THE WEAPONS IN OUR HANDS ARE LIMITLESS AMBITIONS, BURNING GREEDINESS, MERCILESS VENGEANCE, HATREDS AND MALICE.

4. IT IS FROM US THAT THE ALL-ENGULFING TERROR PROCEEDS. WE HAVE IN OUR SERVICE PERSONS OF ALL OPINIONS, OF ALL DOCTRINES, RESTORATING MONARCHISTS, DEMAGOGUES, SOCIALISTS, COMMUNISTS, AND UTOPIAN DREAMERS OF EVERY KIND. We have harnessed them all to the task: EACH ONE OF THEM ON HIS OWN ACCOUNT IS BORING AWAY AT THE LAST REMNANTS OF AUTHORITY, IS STRIVING TO OVERTHROW ALL ESTABLISHED FORM OF ORDER. By these acts all States are in torture; they exhort to tranquility, are ready to sacrifice everything for peace: BUT WE WILL NOT GIVE THEM PEACE UNTIL THEY OPENLY ACKNOWLEDGE OUR INTERNATIONAL SUPER-GOVERNMENT, AND WITH SUBMISSIVENESS.

5. The people have raised a howl about the necessity of settling the question of Socialism by way of an international agreement. DIVISION INTO FRACTIONAL PARTIES HAS GIVEN THEM INTO OUR HANDS, FOR, IN ORDER TO CARRY ON A CONTESTED STRUGGLE ONE MUST HAVE MONEY, AND THE MONEY IS ALL IN OUR HANDS.

6. We might have reason to apprehend a union between the "clear-sighted" force of the GOY kings on their thrones and the "blind" force of the GOY mobs, but we have taken all the needful measure against any such possibility: between the one and the other force we have erected a bulwark in the shape of a mutual terror between them. In this way the blind force of the people remains our support and we, and we only, shall provide them with a leader and, of course, direct them along the road that leads to our goal.

7. In order that the hand of the blind mob may not free itself from our guiding hand, we must every now and then enter into close communion with it, if not actually in person, at any rate through some of the most trusty of our brethren. When we are acknowledged as the only authority we shall discuss with the people personally on the market, places, and we shall instruct them on questings of the political in such wise as may turn them in the direction that suits us.

8. Who is going to verify what is taught in the village schools? But what an envoy of the government or a king on his throne himself may say cannot but become immediately known to the whole State, for it will be spread abroad by the voice of the people.

9. In order to annihilate the institutions of the GOYIM before it is time we have touched them with craft and delicacy, and have taken hold of the ends of the springs which move their mechanism. These springs lay in a strict but just sense of order; we have replaced them by the chaotic license of liberalism. We have got our hands into the administration of the law, into the conduct of elections, into the press, into liberty of the person, BUT PRINCIPALLY INTO EDUCATION AND TRAINING AS BEING THE CORNERSTONES OF A FREE EXISTENCE.

10. WE HAVE FOOLED, BEMUSED AND CORRUPTED THE YOUTH OF THE "GOYIM" BY REARING THEM IN PRINCIPLES AND THEORIES WHICH ARE KNOWN TO US TO BE FALSE ALTHOUGH IT IS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN INCULCATED.

11. Above the existing laws without substantially altering them, and by merely twisting them into contradictions of interpretations, we have erected something grandiose in the way of results. These results found expression in the fact that the INTERPRETATIONS MASKED THE LAW: afterwards they entirely hid them from the eyes of the governments owing to the impossibility of making anything out of the tangled web of legislation.

12. This is the origin of the theory of course of arbitration.

13. You may say that the GOYIM will rise upon us, arms in hand, if they guess what is going on before the time comes; but in the West we have against this a manoeuvre of such appalling terror that the very stoutest hearts quail - the undergrounds, metropolitans, those subterranean corridors which, before the time comes, will be driven under all the capitals and from whence those capitals will be blown into the air with all their organizations and archives.

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 10

1. To-day I begin with a repetition of what I said before, and I BEG YOU TO BEAR IN MIND THAT GOVERNMENTS AND PEOPLE ARE CONTENT IN THE POLITICAL WITH OUTSIDE APPEARANCES. And how, indeed, are the GOYIM to perceive the underlying meaning of things when their representatives give the best of their energies to enjoying themselves? For our policy it is of the greatest importance to take cognizance of this detail; it will be of assistance to us when we come to consider the division of authority of property, of the dwelling, of taxation, of the reflex force of the laws. All these questions are such as ought not to be touched upon directly and openly before the people. In cases where it is indispensable to touch upon them they must not be categorically named, it must merely be declared without detailed exposition that the principles of contemporary law are acknowledged by us. The reason of keeping silence in this respect is that by not naming a principle we leave ourselves freedom of action, to drop this or that out of it without attracting notice; if they were all categorically named they would all appear to have been already given.

2. The mob cherishes a special affection and respect for the geniuses of political power and accepts all their deeds of violence with the admiring response: "rascally, well, yes, it is rascally, but it's clever! ... a trick, if you like, but how craftily played, how magnificently done, what impudent audacity!" ...

3. We count upon attracting all nations to the task of erecting the new fundamental structure, the project for which has been drawn up by us. This is why, before everything, it is indispensable for us to arm ourselves and to store up in ourselves that absolutely reckless audacity and irresistible might of the spirit which in the person of our active workers will break down all hindrances on our way.

4. WHEN WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED OUR COUP D'ETAT WE SHALL SAY THEN TO THE VARIOUS PEOPLES: "EVERYTHING HAS GONE TERRIBLY BADLY, ALL HAVE BEEN WORN OUT WITH SUFFERING. WE ARE DESTROYING THE CAUSES OF YOUR TORMENT - NATIONALITIES, FRONTIERS, DIFFERENCES OF COINAGES. YOU ARE AT LIBERTY, OF COURSE, TO PRONOUNCE SENTENCE UPON US, BUT CAN IT POSSIBLY BE A JUST ONE IF IT IS CONFIRMED BY YOU BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY TRIAL OF WHAT WE ARE OFFERING YOU." ... THEN WILL THE MOB EXALT US AND BEAR US UP IN THEIR HANDS IN A UNANIMOUS TRIUMPH OF HOPES AND EXPECTATIONS. VOTING, WHICH WE HAVE MADE THE INSTRUMENT WHICH WILL SET US ON THE THRONE OF THE WORLD BY TEACHING EVEN THE VERY SMALLEST UNITS OF MEMBERS OF THE HUMAN RACE TO VOTE BY MEANS OF MEETINGS AND AGREEMENTS BY GROUPS, WILL THEN HAVE SERVED ITS PURPOSES AND WILL PLAY ITS PART THEN FOR THE LAST TIME BY A UNANIMITY OF DESIRE TO MAKE CLOSE ACQUAINTANCE WITH US BEFORE CONDEMNING US.

5. TO SECURE THIS WE MUST HAVE EVERYBODY VOTE WITHOUT DISTINCTION OF CLASSES AND QUALIFICATIONS, in order to establish an absolute majority, which cannot be got from the educated propertied classes. In this way, by inculcating in all a sense of self-importance, we shall destroy among the GOYIM the importance of the family and its educational value and remove the possibility of individual minds splitting off, for the mob, handled by us, will not let them come to the front nor even give them a hearing; it is accustomed to listen to us only who pay it for obedience and attention. In this way we shall create a blind, mighty force which will never be in a position to move in any direction without the guidance of our agents set at its head by us as leaders of the mob. The people will submit to this regime because it will know that upon these leaders will depend its earnings, gratifications and the receipt of all kinds of benefits.

6. A scheme of government should come ready made from one brain, because it will never be clinched firmly if it is allowed to be split into fractional parts in the minds of many. It is allowable, therefore, for us to have cognizance of the scheme of action but not to discuss it lest we disturb its artfulness, the interdependence of its component parts, the practical force of the secret meaning of each clause. To discuss and make alterations in a labor of this kind by means of numerous votings is to impress upon it the stamp of all ratiocinations and misunderstandings which have failed to penetrate the depth and nexus of its plottings. We want our schemes to be forcible and suitably concocted. Therefore WE OUGHT NOT TO FLING THE WORK OF GENIUS OF OUR GUIDE to the fangs of the mob or even of a select company.

7. These schemes will not turn existing institutions upside down just yet. They will only effect changes in their economy and consequently in the whole combined movement of their progress, which will thus be directed along the paths laid down in our schemes.

8. Under various names there exists in all countries approximately one and the same thing. Representation, Ministry, Senate, State Council, Legislative and Executive Corps. I need not explain to you the mechanism of the relation of these institutions to one another, because you are aware of all that; only take note of the fact that each of the above-named institutions corresponds to some important function of the State, and I would beg you to remark that the word "important" I apply not to the institution but to the function, consequently it is not the institutions which are important but their functions. These institutions have divided up among themselves all the functions of government - administrative, legislative, executive, wherefore they have come to operate as do the organs in the human body. If we injure one part in the machinery of State, the State falls sick, like a human body, and ... will die.

9. When we introduced into the State organism the poison of Liberalism its whole political complexion underwent a change. States have been seized with a mortal illness - blood poisoning. All that remains is to await the end of their death agony.

10. Liberalism produced Constitutional States, which took the place of what was the only safeguard of the GOYIM, namely, Despotism; and A CONSTITUTION, AS YOU WELL KNOW, IS NOTHING ELSE BUT A SCHOOL OF DISCORDS, misunderstandings, quarrels, disagreements, fruitless party agitations, party whims - in a word, a school of everything that serves to destroy the personality of State activity. THE TRIBUNE OF THE "TALKERIES" HAS, NO LESS EFFECTIVELY THAN THE PRESS, CONDEMNED THE RULERS TO INACTIVITY AND IMPOTENCE, and thereby rendered them useless and superfluous, for which reason indeed they have been in many countries deposed. THEN IT WAS THAT THE ERA OF REPUBLICS BECOME POSSIBLE OF REALIZATION; AND THEN IT WAS THAT WE REPLACED THE RULER BY A CARICATURE OF A GOVERNMENT - BY A PRESIDENT, TAKEN FROM THE MOB, FROM THE MIDST OF OUR PUPPET CREATURES, OR SLAVES. This was the foundation of the mine which we have laid under the GOY people, I should rather say, under the GOY peoples.

11. In the near future we shall establish the responsibility of presidents.

12. By that time we shall be in a position to disregard forms in carrying through matters for which our impersonal puppet will be responsible. What do we care if the ranks of those striving for power should be thinned, if there should arise a deadlock from the impossibility of finding presidents, a deadlock which will finally disorganize the country? ...

13. In order that our scheme may produce this result we shall arrange elections in favor of such presidents as have in their past some dark, undiscovered stain, some "Panama" or other - then they will be trustworthy agents for the accomplishment of our plans out of fear of revelations and from the natural desire of everyone who has attained power, namely, the retention of the privileges, advantages and honor connected with the office of president. The chamber of deputies will provide cover for, will protect, will elect presidents, but we shall take from it the right to propose new, or make changes in existing laws, for this right will be given by us to the responsible president, a puppet in our hands. Naturally, the authority of the presidents will then become a target for every possible form of attack, but we shall provide him with a means of self-defense in the right of an appeal to the people, for the decision of the people over the heads of their representatives, that is to say, an appeal to that same blind slave of ours - the majority of the mob. Independently of this we shall invest the president with the right of declaring a state of war. We shall justify this last right on the ground that the president as chief of the whole army of the country must have it at his disposal, in case of need for the defense of the new republican constitution, the right to defend which will belong to him as the responsible representative of this constitution.

14. It is easy to understand that in these conditions the key of the shrine will lie in our hands, and no one outside ourselves will any longer direct the force of legislation.

15. Besides this we shall, with the introduction of the new republican constitution, take from the Chamber the right of interpolation on government measures, on the pretext of preserving political secrecy, and, further, we shall by the new constitution reduce the number of representatives to a minimum, thereby proportionately reducing political passions and the passion for politics. If, however, they should, which is hardly to be expected, burst into flame, even in this minimum, we shall nullify them by a stirring appeal and a reference to the majority of the whole people ... Upon the president will depend the appointment of presidents and vice-presidents of the Chamber and the Senate. Instead of constant sessions of Parliaments we shall reduce their sittings to a few months. Moreover, the president, as chief of the executive power, will have the right to summon and dissolve Parliament, and, in the latter case, to prolong the time for the appointment of a new parliamentary assembly. But in order that the consequences of all these acts which in substance are illegal, should not, prematurely for our plans, fall upon the responsibility established by us of the president, WE SHALL INSTIGATE MINISTERS AND OTHER OFFICIALS OF THE HIGHER ADMINISTRATION ABOUT THE PRESIDENT TO EVADE HIS DISPOSITIONS BY TAKING MEASURES OF THEIR OWN, for doing which they will be made the scapegoats in his place ... This part we especially recommend to be given to be played by the Senate, the Council of State, or the Council of Ministers, but not to an individual official.

16. The president will, at our discretion, interpret the sense of such of the existing laws as admit of various interpretation; he will further annul them when we indicate to him the necessity to do so, besides this, he will have the right to propose temporary laws, and even new departures in the government constitutional working, the pretext both for the one and the other being the requirements for the supreme welfare of the State.

17. By such measure we shall obtain the power of destroying little by little, step by step, all that at the outset when we enter on our rights, we are compelled to introduce into the constitutions of States to prepare for the transition to an imperceptible abolition of every kind of constitution, and then the time is come to turn every form of government into OUR DESPOTISM.

18. The recognition of our despot may also come before the destruction of the constitution; the moment for this recognition will come when the peoples, utterly wearied by the irregularities and incompetence - a matter which we shall arrange for - of their rulers, will clamor: "Away with them and give us one king over all the earth who will unite us and annihilate the causes of disorders - frontiers, nationalities, religions, State debts - who will give us peace and quiet which we cannot find under our rulers and representatives."

19. But you yourselves perfectly well know that TO PRODUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE EXPRESSION OF SUCH WISHES BY ALL THE NATIONS IT IS INDISPENSABLE TO TROUBLE IN ALL COUNTRIES THE PEOPLE'S RELATIONS WITH THEIR GOVERNMENTS SO AS TO UTTERLY EXHAUST HUMANITY WITH DISSENSION, HATRED, STRUGGLE, ENVY AND EVEN BY THE USE OF TORTURE, BY STARVATION, BY THE INOCULATION OF DISEASES, BY WANT, SO THAT THE "GOYIM" SEE NO OTHER ISSUE THAN TO TAKE REFUGE IN OUR COMPLETE SOVEREIGNTY IN MONEY AND IN ALL ELSE.

20. But if we give the nations of the world a breathing space the moment we long for is hardly likely ever to arrive.

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 11

1. The State Council has been, as it were, the emphatic expression of the authority of the ruler: it will be, as the "show" part of the Legislative Corps, what may be called the editorial committee of the laws and decrees of the ruler.

2. This, then, is the program of the new constitution. We shall make Law, Right and Justice (1) in the guise of proposals to the Legislative Corps, (2) by decrees of the president under the guise of general regulations, of orders of the Senate and of resolutions of the State Council in the guise of ministerial orders, (3) and in case a suitable occasion should arise - in the form of a revolution in the State.

3. Having established approximately the MODUS AGENDI we will occupy ourselves with details of those combinations by which we have still to complete the revolution in the course of the machinery of State in the direction already indicated. By these combinations I mean the freedom of the Press, the right of association, freedom of conscience, the voting principle, and many another that must disappear for ever from the memory of man, or undergo a radical alteration the day after the promulgation of the new constitution. It is only at the moment that we shall be able at once to announce all our orders, for, afterwards, every noticeable alteration will be dangerous, for the following reasons: if this alteration be brought in with harsh severity and in a sense of severity and limitations, it may lead to a feeling of despair caused by fear of new alterations in the same direction; if, on the other hand, it be brought in a sense of further indulgences it will be said that we have recognized our own wrong-doing and this will destroy the prestige of the infallibility of our authority, or else it will be said that we have become alarmed and are compelled to show a yielding disposition, for which we shall get no thanks because it will be supposed to be compulsory ... Both the one and the other are injurious to the prestige of the new constitution. What we want is that from the first moment of its promulgation, while the peoples of the world are still stunned by the accomplished fact of the revolution, still in a condition of terror and uncertainty, they should recognize once for all that we are so strong, so inexpugnable, so super-abundantly filled with power, that in no case shall we take any account of them, and so far from paying any attention to their opinions or wishes, we are ready and able to crush with irresistible power all expression or manifestation thereof at every moment and in every place, that we have seized at once everything we wanted and shall in no case divide our power with them ... Then in fear and trembling they will close their eyes to everything, and be content to await what will be the end of it all.

4. The GOYIM are a flock of sheep, and we are their wolves. And you know what happens when the wolves get hold of the flock? ....

5. There is another reason also why they will close their eyes: for we shall keep promising them to give back all the liberties we have taken away as soon as we have quelled the enemies of peace and tamed all parties ....

6. It is not worth to say anything about how long a time they will be kept waiting for this return of their liberties ....

7. For what purpose then have we invented this whole policy and insinuated it into the minds of the GOY without giving them any chance to examine its underlying meaning? For what, indeed, if not in order to obtain in a roundabout way what is for our scattered tribe unattainable by the direct road? It is this which has served as the basis for our organization of SECRET MASONRY WHICH IS NOT KNOWN TO, AND AIMS WHICH ARE NOT EVEN SO MUCH AS SUSPECTED BY, THESE "GOY" CATTLE, ATTRACTED BY US INTO THE "SHOW" ARMY OF MASONIC LODGES IN ORDER TO THROW DUST IN THE EYES OF THEIR FELLOWS.

8. God has granted to us, His Chosen People, the gift of the dispersion, and in this which appears in all eyes to be our weakness, has come forth all our strength, which has now brought us to the threshold of sovereignty over all the world.

9. There now remains not much more for us to build up upon the foundation we have laid.

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 12

1. The word "freedom," which can be interpreted in various ways, is defined by us as follows -

2. Freedom is the right to do what which the law allows. This interpretation of the word will at the proper time be of service to us, because all freedom will thus be in our hands, since the laws will abolish or create only that which is desirable for us according to the aforesaid program.

3. We shall deal with the press in the following way: what is the part played by the press to-day? It serves to excite and inflame those passions which are needed for our purpose or else it serves selfish ends of parties. It is often vapid, unjust, mendacious, and the majority of the public have not the slightest idea what ends the press really serves. We shall saddle and bridle it with a tight curb: we shall do the same also with all productions of the printing press, for where would be the sense of getting rid of the attacks of the press if we remain targets for pamphlets and books? The produce of publicity, which nowadays is a source of heavy expense owing to the necessity of censoring it, will be turned by us into a very lucrative source of income to our State: we shall lay on it a special stamp tax and require deposits of caution-money before permitting the establishment of any organ of the press or of printing offices; these will then have to guarantee our government against any kind of attack on the part of the press. For any attempt to attack us, if such still be possible, we shall inflict fines without mercy. Such measures as stamp tax, deposit of caution-money and fines secured by these deposits, will bring in a huge income to the government. It is true that party organs might not spare money for the sake of publicity, but these we shall shut up at the second attack upon us. No one shall with impunity lay a finger on the aureole of our government infallibility. The pretext for stopping any publication will be the alleged plea that it is agitating the public mind without occasion or justification. I BEG YOU TO NOTE THAT AMONG THOSE MAKING ATTACKS UPON US WILL ALSO BE ORGANS ESTABLISHED BY US, BUT THEY WILL ATTACK EXCLUSIVELY POINTS THAT WE HAVE PRE-DETERMINED TO ALTER.

4. NOT A SINGLE ANNOUNCEMENT WILL REACH THE PUBLIC WITHOUT OUR CONTROL. Even now this is already being attained by us inasmuch as all news items are received by a few agencies, in whose offices they are focused from all parts of the world. These agencies will then be already entirely ours and will give publicity only to what we dictate to them.

5. If already now we have contrived to possess ourselves of the minds of the GOY communities to such an extent the they all come near looking upon the events of the world through the colored glasses of those spectacles we are setting astride their noses; if already now there is not a single State where there exist for us any barriers to admittance into what GOY stupidity calls State secrets: what will our positions be then, when we shall be acknowledged supreme lords of the world in the person of our king of all the world ....

6. Let us turn again to the FUTURE OF THE PRINTING PRESS. Every one desirous of being a publisher, librarian, or printer, will be obliged to provide himself with the diploma instituted therefore, which, in case of any fault, will be immediately impounded. With such measures THE INSTRUMENT OF THOUGHT WILL BECOME AN EDUCATIVE MEANS ON THE HANDS OF OUR GOVERNMENT, WHICH WILL NO LONGER ALLOW THE MASS OF THE NATION TO BE LED ASTRAY IN BY-WAYS AND FANTASIES ABOUT THE BLESSINGS OF PROGRESS. Is there any one of us who does not know that these phantom blessings are the direct roads to foolish imaginings which give birth to anarchical relations of men among themselves and towards authority, because progress, or rather the idea of progress, has introduced the conception of every kind of emancipation, but has failed to establish its limits .... All the so-called liberals are anarchists, if not in fact, at any rate in thought. Every one of them in hunting after phantoms of freedom, and falling exclusively into license, that is, into the anarchy of protest for the sake of protest....

7. We turn to the periodical press. We shall impose on it, as on all printed matter, stamp taxes per sheet and deposits of caution-money, and books of less than 30 sheets will pay double. We shall reckon them as pamphlets in order, on the one hand, to reduce the number of magazines, which are the worst form of printed poison, and, on the other, in order that this measure may force writers into such lengthy productions that they will be little read, especially as they will be costly. At the same time what we shall publish ourselves to influence mental development in the direction laid down for our profit will be cheap and will be read voraciously. The tax will bring vapid literary ambitions within bounds and the liability to penalties will make literary men dependent upon us. And if there should be any found who are desirous of writing against us, they will not find any person eager to print their productions. Before accepting any production for publication in print, the publisher or printer will have to apply to the authorities for permission to do so. Thus we shall know beforehand of all tricks preparing against us and shall nullify them by getting ahead with explanations on the subject treated of.

8. Literature and journalism are two of the most important educative forces, and therefore our government will become proprietor of the majority of the journals. This will neutralize the injurious influence of the privately-owned press and will put us in possession of a tremendous influence upon the public mind .... If we give permits for ten journals, we shall ourselves found thirty, and so on in the same proportion. This, however, must in no wise be suspected by the public. For which reason all journals published by us will be of the most opposite, in appearance, tendencies and opinions, thereby creating confidence in us and bringing over to us quite unsuspicious opponents, who will thus fall into our trap and be rendered harmless.

9. In the front rank will stand organs of an official character. They will always stand guard over our interests, and therefore their influence will be comparatively insignificant.

10. In the second rank will be the semi-official organs, whose part it will be to attack the tepid and indifferent.

11. In the third rank we shall set up our own, to all appearance, opposition, which, in at least one of its organs, will present what looks like the very antipodes to us. Our real opponents at heart will accept this simulated opposition as their own and will show us their cards.

12. All our newspapers will be of all possible complexions -- aristocratic, republican, revolutionary, even anarchical - for so long, of course, as the constitution exists .... Like the Indian idol "Vishnu" they will have a hundred hands, and every one of them will have a finger on any one of the public opinions as required. When a pulse quickens these hands will lead opinion in the direction of our aims, for an excited patient loses all power of judgment and easily yields to suggestion. Those fools who will think they are repeating the opinion of a newspaper of their own camp will be repeating our opinion or any opinion that seems desirable for us. In the vain belief that they are following the organ of their party they will, in fact, follow the flag which we hang out for them.

13. In order to direct our newspaper militia in this sense we must take special and minute care in organizing this matter. Under the title of central department of the press we shall institute literary gatherings at which our agents will without attracting attention issue the orders and watchwords of the day. By discussing and controverting, but always superficially, without touching the essence of the matter, our organs will carry on a sham fight fusillade with the official newspapers solely for the purpose of giving occasion for us to express ourselves more fully than could well be done from the outset in official announcements, whenever, of course, that is to our advantage.

14. THESE ATTACKS UPON US WILL ALSO SERVE ANOTHER PURPOSE, NAMELY, THAT OUR SUBJECTS WILL BE CONVINCED TO THE EXISTENCE OF FULL FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND SO GIVE OUR AGENTS AN OCCASION TO AFFIRM THAT ALL ORGANS WHICH OPPOSE US ARE EMPTY BABBLERS, since they are incapable of finding any substantial objections to our orders.

15. Methods of organization like these, imperceptible to the public eye but absolutely sure, are the best calculated to succeed in bringing the attention and the confidence of the public to the side of our government. Thanks to such methods we shall be in a position as from time to time may be required, to excite or to tranquillize the public mind on political questions, to persuade or to confuse, printing now truth, now lies, facts or their contradictions, according as they may be well or ill received, always very cautiously feeling our ground before stepping upon it .... WE SHALL HAVE A SURE TRIUMPH OVER OUR OPPONENTS SINCE THEY WILL NOT HAVE AT THEIR DISPOSITION ORGANS OF THE PRESS IN WHICH THEY CAN GIVE FULL AND FINAL EXPRESSION TO THEIR VIEWS owing to the aforesaid methods of dealing with the press. We shall not even need to refute them except very superficially.

16. Trial shots like these, fired by us in the third rank of our press, in case of need, will be energetically refuted by us in our semi-official organs.

17. Even nowadays, already, to take only the French press, there are forms which reveal masonic solidarity in acting on the watchword: all organs of the press are bound together by professional secrecy; like the augurs of old, not one of their numbers will give away the secret of his sources of information unless it be resolved to make announcement of them. Not one journalist will venture to betray this secret, for not one of them is ever admitted to practice literature unless his whole past has some disgraceful sore or other .... These sores would be immediately revealed. So long as they remain the secret of a few the prestige of the journalist attacks the majority of the country - the mob follow after him with enthusiasm.

18. Our calculations are especially extended to the provinces. It is indispensable for us to inflame there those hopes and impulses with which we could at any moment fall upon the capital, and we shall represent to the capitals that these expressions are the independent hopes and impulses of the provinces. Naturally, the source of them will be always one and the same - ours. WHAT WE NEED IS THAT, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS WE ARE IN THE PLENITUDE POWER, THE CAPITALS SHOULD FIND THEMSELVES STIFLED BY THE PROVINCIAL OPINION OF THE NATIONS, I.E., OF A MAJORITY ARRANGED BY OUR AGENTUR. What we need is that at the psychological moment the capitals should not be in a position to discuss an accomplished fact for the simple reason, if for no other, that it has been accepted by the public opinion of a majority in the provinces.

19. WHEN WE ARE IN THE PERIOD OF THE NEW REGIME TRANSITIONAL TO THAT OF OUR ASSUMPTION OF FULL SOVEREIGNTY WE MUST NOT ADMIT ANY REVELATION BY THE PRESS OF ANY FORM OF PUBLIC DISHONESTY; IT IS NECESSARY THAT THE NEW REGIME SHOULD BE THOUGHT TO HAVE SO PERFECTLY CONTENDED EVERYBODY THAT EVEN CRIMINALITY HAS DISAPPEARED ... Cases of the manifestation of criminality should remain known only to their victims and to chance witnesses - no more.

PROTOCOL No. 13

1. The need for daily bread forces the GOYIM to keep silence and be our humble servants. Agents taken on to our press from among the GOYIM will at our orders discuss anything which it is inconvenient for us to issue directly in official documents, and we meanwhile, quietly amid the din of the discussion so raised, shall simply take and carry through such measures as we wish and then offer. Into the discussions of these new questions will throw themselves those of the brainless dispensers of fortunes who are not able even now to understand that they have not the remotest conception about the matters which they undertake to discuss. Questions of the political are unattainable for any save those who have guided it already for many ages, the creators.

2. From all this you will see that in securing the opinion of the mob we are only facilitating the working of our machinery, and you may remark that it is not for actions but for words issued by us on this or that question that we seem to seek approval. We are constantly making public declaration that we are guided in all our undertakings by the hope, joined to the conviction, that we are serving the common weal.

3. In order to distract people who may be too troublesome from discussions of questions of the political we are now putting forward what we allege to be new questions of the political, namely, questions of industry. In this sphere let them discuss themselves silly! The masses are agreed to remain inactive, to take a rest from what they suppose to be political only on condition of being found new employments, in which we are prescribing them something that looks like the same political object. In order that the masses themselves may not guess what they are about WE FURTHER DISTRACT THEM WITH AMUSEMENTS, GAMES, PASTIMES, PASSIONS, PEOPLE'S PALACES .... SOON WE SHALL BEGIN THROUGH THE PRESS TO PROPOSE COMPETITIONS IN ART, IN SPORT IN ALL KINDS: these interests will finally distract their minds from questions in which we should find ourselves compelled to oppose them. Growing more and more unaccustomed to reflect and form any opinions of their own, people will begin to talk in the same tone as we because we alone shall be offering them new directions for thought ... of course through such persons as will not be suspected of solidarity with us.

4. The part played by the liberals, utopian dreamers, will be finally played out when our government is acknowledged. Till such time they will continue to do us good service. Therefore we shall continue to direct their minds to all sorts of vain conceptions of fantastic theories, new and apparently progressive: for have we not with complete success turned the brainless heads of the GOYIM with progress, till there is not among the GOYIM one mind able to perceive that under this word lies a departure from truth in all cases where it is not a question of material inventions, for truth is one, and in it there is no place for progress. Progress, like a fallacious idea, serves to obscure truth so that none may know it except us, the Chosen of God, its guardians.

5. When, we come into our kingdom our orators will expound great problems which have turned humanity upside down in order to bring it at the end under our beneficent rule.

6. Who will ever suspect then that ALL THESE PEOPLES WERE STAGE-MANAGED BY US ACCORDING TO A POLITICAL PLAN WHICH NO ONE HAS SO MUCH AS GUESSED AT IN THE COURSE OF MANY CENTURIES?

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 14

1. When we come into our kingdom it will be undesirable for us that there should exist any other religion than ours of the One God with whom our destiny is bound up by our position as the Chosen People and through whom our same destiny is united with the destinies of the world. We must therefore sweep away all other forms of belief. If this gives birth to the atheists whom we see to-day, it will not, being only a transitional stage, interfere with our views, but will serve as a warning for those generations which will hearken to our preaching of the religion of Moses, that, by its stable and thoroughly elaborated system has brought all the peoples of the world into subjection to us. Therein we shall emphasize its mystical right, on which, as we shall say, all its educative power is based .... Then at every possible opportunity we shall publish articles in which we shall make comparisons between our beneficent rule and those of past ages. The blessing of tranquillity, though it be a tranquillity forcibly brought about by centuries of agitation, will throw into higher relief the benefits to which we shall point. The errors of the GOYIM governments will be depicted by us in the most vivid hues. We shall implant such an abhorrence of them that the peoples will prefer tranquillity in a state of serfdom to those rights of vaunted freedom which have tortured humanity and exhausted the very sources of human existence, sources which have been exploited by a mob of rascally adventurers who know not what they do .... USELESS CHANGES OF FORMS OF GOVERNMENT TO WHICH WE INSTIGATED THE "GOYIM" WHEN WE WERE UNDERMINING THEIR STATE STRUCTURES, WILL HAVE SO WEARIED THE PEOPLES BY THAT TIME THAT THEY WILL PREFER TO SUFFER ANYTHING UNDER US RATHER THAN RUN THE RISK OF ENDURING AGAIN ALL THE AGITATIONS AND MISERIES THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH.

2. At the same time we shall not omit to emphasize the historical mistakes of the GOY governments which have tormented humanity for so many centuries by their lack of understanding of everything that constitutes the true good of humanity in their chase after fantastic schemes of social blessings, and have never noticed that these schemes kept on producing a worse and never a better state of the universal relations which are the basis of human life ...

3. The whole force of our principles and methods will lie in the fact that we shall present them and expound them as a splendid contrast to the dead and decomposed old order of things in social life.

4. Our philosophers will discuss all the shortcomings of the various beliefs of the "GOYIM," BUT NO ONE WILL EVER BRING UNDER DISCUSSION OUR FAITH FROM ITS TRUE POINT OF VIEW SINCE THIS WILL BE FULLY LEARNED BY NONE SAVE OURS WHO WILL NEVER DARE TO BETRAY ITS SECRETS.

5. IN COUNTRIES KNOWN AS PROGRESSIVE AND ENLIGHTENED WE HAVE CREATED A SENSELESS, FILTHY, ABOMINABLE LITERATURE. For some time after our entrance to power we shall continue to encourage its existence in order to provide a telling relief by contrast to the speeches, party program, which will be distributed from exalted quarters of ours .... Our wise men, trained to become leaders of the GOYIM, will compose speeches, projects, memoirs, articles, which will be used by us to influence the minds of the GOYIM, directing them towards such understanding and forms of knowledge as have been determined by us.

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 15

1. When we at last definitely come into our kingdom by the aid of COUPS D'ETAT prepared everywhere for one and the same day, after definitely acknowledged we shall make it our task to see that against us such things as plots shall no longer exist. With this purpose we shall slay without mercy all who take arms to oppose our coming into our kingdom. Every kind of new institution of anything like a secret society will also be punished with death; those of them which are now in existence, are known to us, serve us and have served us, we shall disband and send into exile to continents far removed from Europe. IN THIS WAY WE SHALL PROCEED WITH THOSE "GOY" MASONS WHO KNOW TOO MUCH; such of these as we may for some reason spare will be kept in constant fear of exile. We shall promulgate a law making all former members of secret societies liable to exile from Europe as the center of rule.

2. Resolutions of our government will be final, without appeal.

3. In the GOY societies, in which we have planted and deeply rooted discord and protestantism, the only possible way of restoring order is to employ merciless measures that prove the direct force of authority: no regard must be paid to the victims who fall, they suffer for the well-being of the future. The attainment of that well-being, even at the expense of sacrifices, is the duty of any kind of government that acknowledges as justification for its existence not only its privileges but its obligations. The principal guarantee of stability of rule is to confirm the aureole of power, and this aureole is attained only by such a majestic inflexibility of might as shall carry on its face the emblems of inviolability from mystical causes - from the choice of God. SUCH WAS, UNTIL RECENT TIMES, THE RUSSIAN AUTOCRACY, THE ONE AND ONLY SERIOUS FOE WE HAD IN THE WORLD, WITHOUT COUNTING THE PAPACY. Bear in mind the example when Italy, drenched with blood, never touched a hair of the head of Sulla who had poured forth that blood: Sulla enjoyed an apotheosis for his might in him, but his intrepid return to Italy ringed him round with inviolability. The people do not lay a finger on him who hypnotizes them by his daring and strength of mind.

4. Meantime, however, until we come into our kingdom, we shall act in the contrary way: we shall create and multiply free masonic lodges in all the countries of the world, absorb into them all who may become or who are prominent in public activity, for these lodges we shall find our principal intelligence office and means of influence. All these lodges we shall bring under one central administration, known to us alone and to all others absolutely unknown, which will be composed of our learned elders. The lodges will have their representatives who will serve to screen the above-mentioned administration of MASONRY and from whom will issue the watchword and program. In these lodges we shall tie together the knot which binds together all revolutionary and liberal elements. Their composition will be made up of all strata of society. The most secret political plots will be known to us and fall under our guiding hands on the very day of their conception. AMONG THE MEMBERS OF THESE LODGES WILL BE ALMOST ALL THE AGENTS OF INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL POLICE since their service is for us irreplaceable in the respect that the police is in a position not only to use its own particular measures with the insubordinate, but also to screen our activities and provide pretexts for discontents, ET CETERA.

5. The class of people who most willingly enter into secret societies are those who live by their wits, careerists, and in general people, mostly light-minded, with whom we shall have no difficulty in dealing and in using to wind up the mechanism of the machine devised by us. If this world grows agitated the meaning of that will be that we have had to stir up in order to break up its too great solidarity. BUT IF THERE SHOULD ARISE IN ITS MIDST A PLOT, THEN AT THE HEAD OF THAT PLOT WILL BE NO OTHER THAN ONE OF OUR MOST TRUSTED SERVANTS. It is natural that we and no other should lead MASONIC activities, for we know whither we are leading, we know the final goal of every form of activity whereas the GOYIM have knowledge of nothing, not even of the immediate effect of action; they put before themselves, usually, the momentary reckoning of the satisfaction of their self-opinion in the accomplishment of their thought without even remarking that the very conception never belonged to their initiative but to our instigation of their thought ...

6. The GOYIM enter the lodges out of curiosity or in the hope by their means to get a nibble at the public pie, and some of them in order to obtain a hearing before the public for their impracticable and groundless fantasies: they thirst for the emotion of success and applause, of which we are remarkably generous. And the reason why we give them this success is to make use of the high conceit of themselves to which it gives birth, for that insensibly disposes them to assimulate our suggestions without being on their guard against them in the fullness of their confidence that it is their own infallibility which is giving utterance to their own thoughts and that it is impossible for them to borrow those of others .... You cannot imagine to what extent the wisest of the GOYIM can be brought to a state of unconscious naivete in the presence of this condition of high conceit of themselves, and at the same time how easy it is to take the heart out of them by the slightest ill-success, though it be nothing more than the stoppage of the applause they had, and to reduce them to a slavish submission for the sake of winning a renewal of success .... BY SO MUCH AS OURS DISREGARD SUCCESS IF ONLY THEY CAN CARRY THROUGH THEIR PLANS, BY SO MUCH THE "GOYIM" ARE WILLING TO SACRIFICE ANY PLANS ONLY TO HAVE SUCCESS. This psychology of theirs materially facilitates for us the task of setting them in the required direction. These tigers in appearance have the souls of sheep and the wind blows freely through their heads. We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM .... They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality ....

7. If we have been able to bring them to such a pitch of stupid blindness is it not a proof, and an amazingly clear proof, of the degree to which the mind of the GOYIM is undeveloped in comparison with our mind? This it is, mainly, which guarantees our success.

8. And how far-seeing were our learned elders in ancient times when they said that to attain a serious end it behooves not to stop at any means or to count the victims sacrificed for the sake of that end .... We have not counted the victims of the seed of the GOY cattle, though we have sacrificed many of our own, but for that we have now already given them such a position on the earth as they could not even have dreamed of. The comparatively small numbers of the victims from the number of ours have preserved our nationality from destruction.

9. Death is the inevitable end for all. It is better to bring that end nearer to those who hinder our affairs than to ourselves, to the founders of this affair. WE EXECUTE MASONS IN SUCH WISE THAT NONE SAVE THE BROTHERHOOD CAN EVER HAVE A SUSPICION OF IT, NOT EVEN THE VICTIMS THEMSELVES OF OUR DEATH SENTENCE, THEY ALL DIE WHEN REQUIRED AS IF FROM A NORMAL KIND OF ILLNESS ..... Knowing this, even the brotherhood in its turn dare not protest. By such methods we have plucked out of the midst of MASONRY the very root of protest against our disposition. While preaching liberalism to the GOY we at the same time keep our own people and our agents in a state of unquestioning submission.

10. Under our influence the execution of the laws of the GOYIM has been reduced to a minimum. The prestige of the law has been exploded by the liberal interpretations introduced into this sphere. In the most important and fundamental affairs and questions, JUDGES DECIDE AS WE DICTATE TO THEM, see matters in the light wherewith we enfold them for the administration of the GOYIM, of course, through persons who are our tools though we do not appear to have anything in common with them - by newspaper opinion or by other means .... Even senators and the higher administration accept our counsels. The purely brute mind of the GOYIM is incapable of use for analysis and observation, and still more for the foreseeing whither a certain manner of setting a question may tend.

11. In this difference in capacity for thought between the GOYIM and ourselves may be clearly discerned the seal of our position as the Chosen People and of our higher quality of humanness, in contradistinction to the brute mind of the GOYIM. Their eyes are open, but see nothing before them and do not invent. From this it is plain that nature herself has destined us to guide and rule the world.

12. When comes the time of our overt rule, the time to manifest its blessing, we shall remake all legislatures, all our laws will be brief, plain, stable, without any kind of interpretations, so that anyone will be in a position to know them perfectly. The main feature which will run right through them is submission to orders, and this principle will be carried to a grandiose height. Every abuse will then disappear in consequence of the responsibility of all down to the lowest unit before the higher authority of the representative of power. Abuses of power subordinate to this last instance will be so mercilessly punished that none will be found anxious to try experiments with their own powers. We shall follow up jealously every action of the administration on which depends the smooth running of the machinery of the State, for slackness in this produces slackness everywhere; not a single case of illegality or abuse of power will be left without exemplary punishment.

13. Concealment of guilt, connivance between those in the service of the administration - all this kind of evil will disappear after the very first examples of severe punishment. The aureole of our power demands suitable, that is, cruel, punishments for the slightest infringement, for the sake of gain, of its supreme prestige. The sufferer, though his punishment may exceed his fault, will count as a soldier falling on the administrative field of battle in the interests of authority, principle and law, which do not permit that any of those who hold the reins of the public coach should turn aside from the public highway to their own private paths. FOR EXAMPLES OUR JUDGES WILL KNOW THAT WHENEVER THEY FEEL DISPOSED TO PLUME THEMSELVES ON FOOLISH CLEMENCY THEY ARE VIOLATING THE LAW OF JUSTICE WHICH IS INSTITUTED FOR THE EXEMPLARY EDIFICATION OF MEN BY PENALTIES FOR LAPSES AND NOT FOR DISPLAY OF THE SPIRITUAL QUALITIES OF THE JUDGES .... Such qualities it is proper to show in private life, but not in a public square which is the educational basis of human life.

14. Our legal staff will serve not beyond the age of 55, firstly because old men more obstinately hold to prejudiced opinions, and are less capable of submitting to new directions, and secondly because this will give us the possibility by this measure of securing elasticity in the changing of staff, which will thus the more easily bend under our pressure: he who wishes to keep his place will have to give blind obedience to deserve it. In general, our judges will be elected by us only from among those who thoroughly understand that the part they have to play is to punish and apply laws and not to dream about the manifestations of liberalism at the expense of the educational scheme of the State, as the GOYIM in these days imagine it to be .... This method of shuffling the staff will serve also to explode any collective solidarity of those in the same service and will bind all to the interests of the government upon which their fate will depend. The young generation of judges will be trained in certain views regarding the inadmissibility of any abuses that might disturb the established order of our subjects among themselves.

15. In these days the judges of the GOYIM create indulgences to every kind of crimes, not having a just understanding of their office, because the rulers of the present age in appointing judges to office take no care to inculcate in them a sense of duty and consciousness of the matter which is demanded of them. As a brute beast lets out its young in search of prey, so do the GOYIM give to them for what purpose such place was created. This is the reason why their governments are being ruined by their own forces through the acts of their own administration.

16. Let us borrow from the example of the results of these actions yet another lesson for our government.

17. We shall root out liberalism from all the important strategic posts of our government on which depends the training of subordinates for our State structure. Such posts will fall exclusively to those who have been trained by us for administrative rule. To the possible objection that the retirement of old servants will cost the Treasury heavily, I reply, firstly, they will be provided with some private service in place of what they lose, and, secondly, I have to remark that all the money in the world will be concentrated in our hands, consequently it is not our government that has to fear expense.

18. Our absolutism will in all things be logically consecutive and therefore in each one of its decrees our supreme will must be respected and unquestionably fulfilled: it will ignore all murmurs, all discontents of every kind and will destroy to the root every kind of manifestation of them in act by punishment of an exemplary character.

19. We shall abolish the right of appeal, which will be transferred exclusively to our disposal - to the cognizance of him who rules, for we must not allow the conception among the people of a thought that there could be such a thing as a decision that is not right of judges set up by us. If, however, anything like this should occur, we shall ourselves quash the decision, but inflict therewith such exemplary punishment on the judge for lack of understanding of his duty and the purpose of his appointment as will prevent a repetition of such cases .... I repeat that it must be born in mind that we shall know every step of our administration which only needs to be closely watched for the people to be content with us, for it has the right to demand from a good government a good official.

20. OUR GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE THE APPEARANCE OF A PATRIARCHAL PATERNAL GUARDIANSHIP ON THE PART OF OUR RULER. Our own nation and our subjects will discern in his person a father caring for their every need, their every act, their every interrelation as subjects one with another, as well as their relations to the ruler. They will then be so thoroughly imbued with the thought that it is impossible for them to dispense with this wardship and guidance, if they wish to live in peace and quiet, THAT THEY WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THE AUTOCRACY OF OUR RULER WITH A DEVOTION BORDERING ON "APOTHEOSIS," especially when they are convinced that those whom we set up do not put their own in place of authority, but only blindly execute his dictates. They will be rejoiced that we have regulated everything in their lives as is done by wise parents who desire to train children in the cause of duty and submission. For the peoples of the world in regard to the secrets of our polity are ever through the ages only children under age, precisely as are also their governments.

21. As you see, I found our despotism on right and duty: the right to compel the execution of duty is the direct obligation of a government which is a father for its subjects. It has the right of the strong that it may use it for the benefit of directing humanity towards that order which is defined by nature, namely, submission. Everything in the world is in a state of submission, if not to man, then to circumstances or its own inner character, in all cases, to what is stronger. And so shall we be this something stronger for the sake of good.

22. We are obliged without hesitation to sacrifice individuals, who commit a breach of established order, for in the exemplary punishment of evil lies a great educational problem.

23. When the King of Israel sets upon his sacred head the crown offered him by Europe he will become patriarch of the world. The indispensable victims offered by him in consequence of their suitability will never reach the number of victims offered in the course of centuries by the mania of magnificence, the emulation between the GOY governments.

24. Our King will be in constant communion with the peoples, making to them from the tribune speeches which fame will in that same hour distribute over all the world.

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 16

1. In order to effect the destruction of all collective forces except ours we shall emasculate the first stage of collectivism - the UNIVERSITIES, by re-educating them in a new direction. THEIR OFFICIALS AND PROFESSORS WILL BE PREPARED FOR THEIR BUSINESS BY DETAILED SECRET PROGRAMS OF ACTION FROM WHICH THEY WILL NOT WITH IMMUNITY DIVERGE, NOT BY ONE IOTA. THEY WILL BE APPOINTED WITH ESPECIAL PRECAUTION, AND WILL BE SO PLACED AS TO BE WHOLLY DEPENDENT UPON THE GOVERNMENT.

2. We shall exclude from the course of instruction State Law as also all that concerns the political question. These subjects will be taught to a few dozen of persons chosen for their pre-eminent capacities from among the number of the initiated. THE UNIVERSITIES MUST NO LONGER SEND OUT FROM THEIR HALLS MILK SOPS CONCOCTING PLANS FOR A CONSTITUTION, LIKE A COMEDY OR A TRAGEDY, BUSYING THEMSELVES WITH QUESTIONS OF POLICY IN WHICH EVEN THEIR OWN FATHERS NEVER HAD ANY POWER OF THOUGHT.

3. The ill-guided acquaintance of a large number of persons with questions of polity creates utopian dreamers and bad subjects, as you can see for yourselves from the example of the universal education in this direction of the GOYIM. We must introduce into their education all those principles which have so brilliantly broken up their order. But when we are in power we shall remove every kind of disturbing subject from the course of education and shall make out of the youth obedient children of authority, loving him who rules as the support and hope of peace and quiet.

4. Classicism as also any form of study of ancient history, in which there are more bad than good examples, we shall replace with the study of the program of the future. We shall erase from the memory of men all facts of previous centuries which are undesirable to us, and leave only those which depict all the errors of the government of the GOYIM. The study of practical life, of the obligations of order, of the relations of people one to another, of avoiding bad and selfish examples, which spread the infection of evil, and similar questions of an educative nature, will stand in the forefront of the teaching program, which will be drawn up on a separate plan for each calling or state of life, in no wise generalizing the teaching. This treatment of the question has special importance.

5. Each state of life must be trained within strict limits corresponding to its destination and work in life. The OCCASIONAL GENIUS HAS ALWAYS MANAGED AND ALWAYS WILL MANAGE TO SLIP THROUGH INTO OTHER STATES OF LIFE, BUT IT IS THE MOST PERFECT FOLLY FOR THE SAKE OF THIS RARE OCCASIONAL GENIUS TO LET THROUGH INTO RANKS FOREIGN TO THEM THE UNTALENTED WHO THUS ROB OF THEIR PLACES THOSE WHO BELONG TO THOSE RANKS BY BIRTH OR EMPLOYMENT. YOU KNOW YOURSELVES IN WHAT ALL THIS HAS ENDED FOR THE "GOYIM" WHO ALLOWED THIS CRYING ABSURDITY.

6. In order that he who rules may be seated firmly in the hearts and minds of his subjects it is necessary for the time of his activity to instruct the whole nation in the schools and on the market places about this meaning and his acts and all his beneficent initiatives.

7. We shall abolish every kind of freedom of instruction. Learners of all ages have the right to assemble together with their parents in the educational establishments as it were in a club: during these assemblies, on holidays, teachers will read what will pass as free lectures on questions of human relations, of the laws of examples, of the philosophy of new theories not yet declared to the world. These theories will be raised by us to the stage of a dogma of faith as a traditional stage towards our faith. On the completion of this exposition of our program of action in the present and the future I will read you the principles of these theories.

8. In a word, knowing by the experience of many centuries that people live and are guided by ideas, that these ideas are imbibed by people only by the aid of education provided with equal success for all ages of growth, but of course by varying methods, we shall swallow up and confiscate to our own use the last scintilla of independence of thought, which we have for long past been directing towards subjects and ideas useful for us. The system of bridling thought is already at work in the so-called system of teaching by OBJECT LESSONS, the purpose of which is to turn the GOYIM into unthinking submissive brutes waiting for things to be presented before their eyes in order to form an idea of them .... In France, one of our best agents, Bourgeois, has already made public a new program of teaching by object lessons.

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 17

1. The practice of advocacy produces men cold, cruel, persistent, unprincipled, who in all cases take up an impersonal, purely legal standpoint. They have the inveterate habit to refer everything to its value for the defense and not to the public welfare of its results. They do not usually decline to undertake any defense whatever, they strive for an acquittal at all costs, caviling over every petty crux of jurisprudence and thereby they demoralize justice. For this reason we shall set this profession into narrow frames which will keep it inside this sphere of executive public service. Advocates, equally with judges, will be deprived of the right of communication with litigants; they will receive business only from the court and will study it by notes of report and documents, defending their clients after they have been interrogated in court on facts that have appeared. They will receive an honorarium without regard to the quality of the defense. This will render them mere reporters on law-business in the interests of justice and as counterpoise to the proctor who will be the reporter in the interests of prosecution; this will shorten business before the courts. In this way will be established a practice of honest unprejudiced defense conducted not from personal interest but by conviction. This will also, by the way, remove the present practice of corrupt bargain between advocation to agree only to let that side win which pays most .....

2. WE HAVE LONG PAST TAKEN CARE TO DISCREDIT THE PRIESTHOOD OF THE "GOYIM," and thereby to ruin their mission on earth which in these days might still be a great hindrance to us. Day by day its influence on the peoples of the world is falling lower. FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE HAS BEEN DECLARED EVERYWHERE, SO THAT NOW ONLY YEARS DIVIDE US FROM THE MOMENT OF THE COMPLETE WRECKING OF THAT CHRISTIAN RELIGION: as to other religions we shall have still less difficulty in dealing with them, but it would be premature to speak of this now. We shall set clericalism and clericals into such narrow frames as to make their influence move in retrogressive proportion to its former progress.

3. When the time comes finally to destroy the papal court the finger of an invisible hand will point the nations towards this court. When, however, the nations fling themselves upon it, we shall come forward in the guise of its defenders as if to save excessive bloodshed. By this diversion we shall penetrate to its very bowels and be sure we shall never come out again until we have gnawed through the entire strength of this place.

4. THE KING OF THE JEWS WILL BE THE REAL POPE OF THE UNIVERSE, THE PATRIARCH OF THE INTERNATIONAL CHURCH

5. But, IN THE MEANTIME, while we are re-educating youth in new traditional religions and afterwards in ours, WE SHALL NOT OVERTLY LAY A FINGER ON EXISTING CHURCHES, BUT WE SHALL FIGHT AGAINST THEM BY CRITICISM CALCULATED TO PRODUCE SCHISM . . .

6. In general, then, our contemporary press will continue to CONVICT State affairs, religions, incapacities of the GOYIM, always using the most unprincipled expressions in order by every means to lower their prestige in the manner which can only be practiced by the genius of our gifted tribe . . .

7. Our kingdom will be an apologia of the divinity Vishnu, in whom is found its personification - in our hundred hands will be, one in each, the springs of the machinery of social life. We shall see everything without the aid of official police which, in that scope of its rights which we elaborated for the use of the GOYIM, hinders governments from seeing. In our programs ONE-THIRD OF OUR SUBJECTS WILL KEEP THE REST UNDER OBSERVATION from a sense of duty, on the principle of volunteer service to the State. It will then be no disgrace to be a spy and informer, but a merit: unfounded denunciations, however, will be cruelly punished that there may be no development of abuses of this right.

8. Our agents will be taken from the higher as well as the lower ranks of society, from among the administrative class who spend their time in amusements, editors, printers and publishers, booksellers, clerks, and salesmen, workmen, coachmen, lackeys, et cetera. This body, having no rights and not being empowered to take any action on their own account, and consequently a police without any power, will only witness and report: verification of their reports and arrests will depend upon a responsible group of controllers of police affairs, while the actual act of arrest will be performed by the gendarmerie and the municipal police. Any person not denouncing anything seen or heard concerning questions of polity will also be charged with and made responsible for concealment, if it be proved that he is guilty of this crime.

9. JUST AS NOWADAYS OUR BRETHREN, ARE OBLIGED AT THEIR OWN RISK TO DENOUNCE TO THE KAHAL APOSTATES OF THEIR OWN FAMILY or members who have been noticed doing anything in opposition to the KAHAL, SO IN OUR KINGDOM OVER ALL THE WORLD IT WILL BE OBLIGATORY FOR ALL OUR SUBJECTS TO OBSERVE THE DUTY OF SERVICE TO THE STATE IN THIS DIRECTION.

10. Such an organization will extirpate abuses of authority, of force, of bribery, everything in fact which we by our counsels, by our theories of the superhuman rights of man, have introduced into the customs of the GOYIM .... But how else were we to procure that increase of causes predisposing to disorders in the midst of their administration? .... Among the number of those methods one of the most important is - agents for the restoration of order, so placed as to have the opportunity in their disintegrating activity of developing and displaying their evil inclinations - obstinate self-conceit, irresponsible exercise of authority, and, first and foremost, venality.

PROTOCOL No. 18

1. When it becomes necessary for us to strengthen the strict measures of secret defense (the most fatal poison for the prestige of authority) we shall arrange a simulation of disorders or some manifestation of discontents finding expression through the co-operation of good speakers. Round these speakers will assemble all who are sympathetic to his utterances. This will give us the pretext for domiciliary prerequisitions and surveillance on the part of our servants from among the number of the GOYIM police ...

2. As the majority of conspirators act out of love for the game, for the sake of talking, so, until they commit some overt act we shall not lay a finger on them but only introduce into their midst observation elements .... It must be remembered that the prestige of authority is lessened if it frequently discovers conspiracies against itself: this implies a presumption of consciousness of weakness, or, what is still worse, of injustice. You are aware that we have broken the prestige of the GOY kings by frequent attempts upon their lives through our agents, blind sheep of our flock, who are easily moved by a few liberal phrases to crimes provided only they be painted in political colors. WE HAVE COMPELLED THE RULERS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR WEAKNESS IN ADVERTISING OVERT MEASURES OF SECRET DEFENSE AND THEREBY WE SHALL BRING THE PROMISE OF AUTHORITY TO DESTRUCTION.

3. Our ruler will be secretly protected only by the most insignificant guard, because we shall not admit so much as a thought that there could exist against him any sedition with which he is not strong enough to contend and is compelled to hide from it.

4. If we should admit this thought, as the GOYIM have done and are doing, we should IPSO FACTO be signing a death sentence, if not for our ruler, at any rate for his dynasty, at no distant date.

5. According to strictly enforced outward appearances our ruler will employ his power only for the advantage of the nation and in no wise for his own or dynastic profits. Therefore, with the observance of this decorum, his authority will be respected and guarded by the subjects themselves, it will receive an apotheosis in the admission that with it is bound up the well-being of every citizen of the State, for upon it will depend all order in the common life of the pack ....

6. OVERT DEFENSE OF THE KIND ARGUES WEAKNESS IN THE ORGANIZATION OF HIS STRENGTH.

7. Our ruler will always be among the people and be surrounded by a mob of apparently curious men and women, who will occupy the front ranks about him, to all appearance by chance, and will restrain the ranks of the rest out of respect as it will appear for good order. This will sow an example of restraint also in others. If a petitioner appears among the people trying to hand a petition and forcing his way through the ranks, the first ranks must receive the petition and before the eyes of the petitioner pass it to the ruler, so that all may know that what is handed in reaches its destination, that consequently, there exists a control of the ruler himself. The aureole of power requires for his existence that the people may be able to say: "If the king knew of this," or: "the king will hear it."

8. WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF OFFICIAL DEFENSE, THE MYSTICAL PRESTIGE OF AUTHORITY DISAPPEARS: given a certain audacity, and everyone counts himself master of it, the sedition-monger is conscious of his strength, and when occasion serves watches for the moment to make an attempt upon authority .... For the GOYIM we have been preaching something else, but by that very fact we are enabled to see what measures of overt defense have brought them to ....

9. CRIMINALS WITH US WILL BE ARRESTED AT THE FIRST, more or less, well-grounded SUSPICION: it cannot be allowed that out of fear of a possible mistake an opportunity should be given of escape to persons suspected of a political lapse of crime, for in these matters we shall be literally merciless. If it is still possible, by stretching a point, to admit a reconsideration of the motive causes in simple crimes, there is no possibility of excuse for persons occupying themselves with questions in which nobody except the government can understand anything .... And it is not all governments that understand true policy.

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 19

1. If we do not permit any independent dabbling in the political we shall on the other hand encourage every kind of report or petition with proposals for the government to examine into all kinds of projects for the amelioration of the condition of the people; this will reveal to us the defects or else the fantasies of our subjects, to which we shall respond either by accomplishing them or by a wise rebuttment to prove the shortsightedness of one who judges wrongly.

2. Sedition-mongering is nothing more than the yapping of a lap-dog at an elephant. For a government well organized, not from the police but from the public point of view, the lap-dog yaps at the elephant in entire unconsciousness of its strength and importance. It needs no more than to take a good example to show the relative importance of both and the lap-dogs will cease to yap and will wag their tails the moment they set eyes on an elephant.

3. In order to destroy the prestige of heroism for political crime we shall send it for trial in the category of thieving, murder, and every kind of abominable and filthy crime. Public opinion will then confuse in its conception this category of crime with the disgrace attaching to every other and will brand it with the same contempt.

4. We have done our best, and I hope we have succeeded to obtain that the GOYIM should not arrive at this means of contending with sedition. It was for this reason that through the Press and in speeches, indirectly - in cleverly compiled school-books on history, we have advertised the martyrdom alleged to have been accredited by sedition-mongers for the idea of the commonweal. This advertisement has increased the contingent of liberals and has brought thousands of GOYIM into the ranks of our livestock cattle.

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 20

1. To-day we shall touch upon the financial program, which I put off to the end of my report as being the most difficult, the crowning and the decisive point of our plans. Before entering upon it I will remind you that I have already spoken before by way of a hint when I said that the sum total of our actions is settled by the question of figures.

2. When we come into our kingdom our autocratic government will avoid, from a principle of self-preservation, sensibly burdening the masses of the people with taxes, remembering that it plays the part of father and protector. But as State organization cost dear it is necessary nevertheless to obtain the funds required for it. It will, therefore, elaborate with particular precaution the question of equilibrium in this matter.

3. Our rule, in which the king will enjoy the legal fiction that everything in his State belongs to him, will be enabled to resort to the lawful confiscation of all sums of every kind for the regulation of their circulation in the State. From this follows that taxation will best be covered by a progressive tax on property. In this manner the dues will be paid without straitening or ruining anybody in the form of a percentage of the amount of property. The rich must be aware that it is their duty to place a part of their superfluities at the disposal of the State since the State guarantees them security of possession of the rest of their property and the right of honest gains, I say honest, for the control over property will do away with robbery on a legal basis.

4. This social reform must come from above, for the time is ripe for it - it is indispensable as a pledge of peace.

5. The tax upon the poor man is a seed of revolution and works to the detriment of the State which in hunting after the trifling is missing the big. Quite apart from this, a tax on capitalists diminishes the growth of wealth in private hands in which we have in these days concentrated it as a counterpoise to the government strength of the GOYIM - their State finances.

6. A tax increasing in a percentage ratio to capital will give much larger revenue than the present individual or property tax, which is useful to us now for the sole reason that it excites trouble and discontent among the GOYIM.

7. The force upon which our king will rest consists in the equilibrium and the guarantee of peace, for the sake of which things it is indispensable that the capitalists should yield up a portion of their incomes for the sake of the secure working of the machinery of the State. State needs must be paid by those who will not feel the burden and have enough to take from.

8. Such a measure will destroy the hatred of the poor man for the rich, in whom he will see a necessary financial support for the State, will see in him the organizer of peace and well-being since he will see that it is the rich man who is paying the necessary means to attain these things.

9. In order that payers of the educated classes should not too much distress themselves over the new payments they will have full accounts given them of the destination of those payments, with the exception of such sums as will be appropriated for the needs of the throne and the administrative institutions.

10. He who reigns will not have any properties of his own once all in the State represented his patrimony, or else the one would be in contradiction to the other; the fact of holding private means would destroy the right of property in the common possessions of all.

11. Relatives of him who reigns, his heirs excepted, who will be maintained by the resources of the State, must enter the ranks of servants of the State or must work to obtain the right to property; the privilege of royal blood must not serve for the spoiling of the treasury.

12. Purchase, receipt of money or inheritance will be subject to the payment of a stamp progressive tax. Any transfer of property, whether money or other, without evidence of payment of this tax which will be strictly registered by names, will render the former holder liable to pay interest on the tax from the moment of transfer of these sums up to the discovery of his evasion of declaration of the transfer. Transfer documents must be presented weekly at the local treasury office with notifications of the name, surname and permanent place of residence of the former and the new holder of the property. This transfer with register of names must begin from a definite sum which exceeds the ordinary expenses of buying and selling necessaries, and these will be subject to payment only by a stamp impost of a definite percentage of the unit.

13. Just strike an estimate of how many times such taxes as these will cover the revenue of the GOYIM States.

14. The State exchequer will have to maintain a definite complement of reserve sums, and all that is collected above that complement must be returned into circulation. On these sums will be organized public works. The initiative in works of this kind, proceeding from State sources, will bind the working class firmly to the interests of the State and to those who reign. From these same sums also a part will be set aside as rewards of inventiveness and productiveness.

15. On no account should so much as a single unit above the definite and freely estimated sums be retained in the State Treasuries, for money exists to be circulated and any kind of stagnation of money acts ruinously on the running of the State machinery, for which it is the lubricant; a stagnation of the lubricant may stop the regular working of the mechanism.

16. The substitution of interest-bearing paper for a part of the token of exchange has produced exactly this stagnation. The consequences of this circumstance are already sufficiently noticeable.

17. A court of account will also be instituted by us, and in it the ruler will find at any moment a full accounting for State income and expenditure, with the exception of the current monthly account, not yet made up, and that of the preceding month, which will not yet have been delivered.

18. The one and only person who will have no interest in robbing the State is its owner, the ruler. This is why his personal control will remove the possibility of leakages or extravagances.

19. The representative function of the ruler at receptions for the sake of etiquette, which absorbs so much invaluable time, will be abolished in order that the ruler may have time for control and consideration. His power will not then be split up into fractional parts among time-serving favorites who surround the throne for its pomp and splendor, and are interested only in their own and not in the common interests of the State.

20. Economic crises have been produced by us for the GOYIM by no other means than the withdrawal of money from circulation. Huge capitals have stagnated, withdrawing money from States, which were constantly obliged to apply to those same stagnant capitals for loans. These loans burdened the finances of the State with the payment of interest and made them the bond slaves of these capitals .... The concentration of industry in the hands of capitalists out of the hands of small masters has drained away all the juices of the peoples and with them also the States ....

21. The present issue of money in general does not correspond with the requirements per head, and cannot therefore satisfy all the needs of the workers. The issue of money ought to correspond with the growth of population and thereby children also must absolutely be reckoned as consumers of currency from the day of their birth. The revision of issue is a material question for the whole world.

22. YOU ARE AWARE THAT THE GOLD STANDARD HAS BEEN THE RUIN OF THE STATES WHICH ADOPTED IT, FOR IT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO SATISFY THE DEMANDS FOR MONEY, THE MORE SO THAT WE HAVE REMOVED GOLD FROM CIRCULATION AS FAR AS POSSIBLE.

23. With us the standard that must be introduced is the cost of working-man power, whether it be reckoned in paper or in wood. We shall make the issue of money in accordance with the normal requirements of each subject, adding to the quantity with every birth and subtracting with every death.

24. The accounts will be managed by each department each circle.

25. In order that there may be no delays in the paying out of money for State needs the sums and terms of such payments will be fixed by decree of the ruler; this will do away with the protection by a ministry of one institution to the detriment of others.

26. The budgets of income and expenditure will be carried out side by side that they may not be obscured by distance one to another.

27. The reforms projected by us in the financial institutions and principles of the GOYIM will be clothed by us in such forms as will alarm nobody. We shall point out the necessity of reforms in consequence of the disorderly darkness into which the GOYIM by their irregularities have plunged the finances. The first irregularity, as we shall point out, consists in their beginning with drawing up a single budget which year after year grows owing to the following cause: this budget is dragged out to half the year, then they demand a budget to put things right, and this they expend in three months, after which they ask for a supplementary budget, and all this ends with a liquidation budget. But, as the budget of the following year is drawn up in accordance with the sum of the total addition, the annual departure from the normal reaches as much as 50 per cent in a year, and so the annual budget is trebled in ten years. Thanks to such methods, allowed by the carelessness of the GOY States, their treasuries are empty. The period of loans supervenes, and that has swallowed up remainders and brought all the GOY States to bankruptcy. (The United States was declared "bankrupt" at the Geneva Convention of 1929! [see 31 USC 5112, 5118, and 5119).

28. You understand perfectly that economic arrangements of this kind, which have been suggested to the GOYIM by us, cannot be carried on by us.

29. Every kind of loan proves infirmity in the State and a want of understanding of the rights of the State. Loans hang like a sword of Damocles over the heads of rulers, who, instead of taking from their subjects by a temporary tax, come begging with outstretched palm to our bankers. Foreign loans are leeches which there is no possibility of removing from the body of the State until they fall off of themselves or the State flings them off. But the GOY States do not tear them off; they go on in persisting in putting more on to themselves so that they must inevitably perish, drained by voluntary blood-letting.

30. What also indeed is, in substance, a loan, especially a foreign loan? A loan is - an issue of government bills of exchange containing a percentage obligation commensurate to the sum of the loan capital. If the loan bears a charge of 5 per cent, then in twenty years the State vainly pays away in interest a sum equal to the loan borrowed, in forty years it is paying a double sum, in sixty - treble, and all the while the debt remains an unpaid debt.

31. From this calculation it is obvious that with any form of taxation per head the State is baling out the last coppers of the poor taxpayers in order to settle accounts with wealthy foreigners, from whom it has borrowed money instead of collecting these coppers for its own needs without the additional interest.

32. So long as loans were internal the GOYIM only shuffled their money from the pockets of the poor to those of the rich, but when we bought up the necessary persons in order to transfer loans into the external sphere, all the wealth of States flowed into our cash-boxes and all the GOYIM began to pay us the tribute of subjects.

33. If the superficiality of GOY kings on their thrones in regard to State affairs and the venality of ministers or the want of understanding of financial matters on the part of other ruling persons have made their countries debtors to our treasuries to amounts quite impossible to pay it has not been accomplished without, on our part, heavy expenditure of trouble and money.

34. Stagnation of money will not be allowed by us and therefore there will be no State interest-bearing paper, except a one per-cent series, so that there will be no payment of interest to leeches that suck all the strength out of the State. The right to issue interest-bearing paper will be given exclusively to industrial companies who find no difficulty in paying interest out of profits, whereas the State does not make interest on borrowed money like these companies, for the State borrows to spend and not to use in operations.

35. Industrial papers will be bought also by the government which from being as now a paper of tribute by loan operations will be transformed into a lender of money at a profit. This measure will stop the stagnation of money, parasitic profits and idleness, all of which were useful for us among the GOYIM so long as they were independent but are not desirable under our rule.

36. How clear is the undeveloped power of thought of the purely brute brains of the GOYIM, as expressed in the fact that they have been borrowing from us with payment of interest without ever thinking that all the same these very moneys plus an addition for payment of interest must be got by them from their own State pockets in order to settle up with us. What could have been simpler than to take the money they wanted from their own people?

37. But it is a proof of the genius of our chosen mind that we have contrived to present the matter of loans to them in such a light that they have even seen in them an advantage for themselves.

38. Our accounts, which we shall present when the time comes, in the light of centuries of experience gained by experiments made by us on the GOY States, will be distinguished by clearness and definiteness and will show at a glance to all men the advantage of our innovations. They will put an end to those abuses to which we owe our mastery over the GOYIM, but which cannot be allowed in our kingdom.

39. We shall so hedge about our system of accounting that neither the ruler nor the most insignificant public servant will be in a position to divert even the smallest sum from its destination without detection or to direct it in another direction except that which will be once fixed in a definite plan of action.

40. And without a definite plan it is impossible to rule. Marching along an undetermined road and with undetermined resources brings to ruin by the way heroes and demi-gods.

41. The GOY rulers, whom we once upon a time advised should be distracted from State occupations by representative receptions, observances of etiquette, entertainments, were only screens for our rule. The accounts of favorite courtiers who replaced them in the sphere of affairs were drawn up for them by our agents, and every time gave satisfaction to short-sighted minds by promises that in the future economies and improvements were foreseen .... Economies from what? From new taxes? - were questions that might have been but were not asked by those who read our accounts and projects.

42. You know to what they have been brought by this carelessness, to what pitch of financial disorder they have arrived, notwithstanding the astonishing industry of their peoples ....

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 21

1. To what I reported to you at the last meeting I shall now add a detailed explanation of internal loans. Of foreign loans I shall say nothing more, because they have fed us with the national moneys of the GOYIM, but for our State there will be no foreigners, that is, nothing external.

2. We have taken advantage of the venality of administrators and slackness of rulers to get our moneys twice, thrice and more times over, by lending to the GOY governments moneys which were not at all needed by the States. Could anyone do the like in regard to us? .... Therefore, I shall only deal with the details of internal loans.

3. States announce that such a loan is to be concluded and open subscriptions for their own bills of exchange, that is, for their interest-bearing paper. That they may be within the reach of all the price is determined at from a hundred to a thousand; and a discount is made for the earliest subscribers. Next day by artificial means the price of them goes up, the alleged reason being that everyone is rushing to buy them. In a few days the treasury safes are, as they say, overflowing and there's more money than they can do with The subscription, it is alleged, covers many times over the issue total of the loan; in this lies the whole stage effect - look you, they say, what confidence is shown in the government's bills of exchange.

4. But when the comedy is played out there emerges the fact that a debit and an exceedingly burdensome debit has been created. For the payment of interest it becomes necessary to have recourse to new loans, which do not swallow up but only add to the capital debt. And when this credit is exhausted it becomes necessary by new taxes to cover, not the loan, BUT ONLY THE INTEREST ON IT. These taxes are a debit employed to cover a debit ....

5. Later comes the time for conversions, but they diminish the payment of interest without covering the debt, and besides they cannot be made without the consent of the lenders; on announcing a conversion a proposal is made to return the money to those who are not willing to convert their paper. If everybody expressed his unwillingness and demanded his money back, the government would be hoist on their own petard and would be found insolvent and unable to pay the proposed sums. By good luck the subjects of the GOY governments, knowing nothing about financial affairs, have always preferred losses on exchange and diminution of interest to the risk of new investments of their moneys, and have thereby many a time enabled these governments to throw off their shoulders a debit of several millions.

6. Nowadays, with external loans, these tricks cannot be played by the GOYIM for they know that we shall demand all our moneys back.

7. In this way in acknowledged bankruptcy will best prove to the various countries the absence of any means between the interests of the peoples and of those who rule them.

8. I beg you to concentrate your particular attention upon this point and upon the following: nowadays all internal loans are consolidated by so-called flying loans, that is, such as have terms of payment more or less near. These debts consist of moneys paid into the savings banks and reserve funds. If left for long at the disposition of a government these funds evaporate in the payment of interest on foreign loans, and are placed by the deposit of equivalent amount of RENTS.

9. And these last it is which patch up all the leaks in the State treasuries of the GOYIM.

10. When we ascend the throne of the world all these financial and similar shifts, as being not in accord with our interests, will be swept away so as not to leave a trace, as also will be destroyed all money markets, since we shall not allow the prestige of our power to be shaken by fluctuations of prices set upon our values, which we shall announce by law at the price which represents their full worth without any possibility of lowering or raising.

11. We shall replace the money markets by grandiose government credit institutions, the object of which will be to fix the price of industrial values in accordance with government views. These institutions will be in a position to fling upon the market five hundred millions of industrial paper in one day, or to buy up for the same amount. In this way all industrial undertakings will come into dependence upon us. You may imagine for yourselves what immense power we shall thereby secure for ourselves ....

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 22

1 In all that has so far been reported by me to you, I have endeavored to depict with care the secret of what is coming, of what is past, and of what is going on now, rushing into the flood of the great events coming already in the near future, the secret of our relations to the GOYIM and of financial operations. On this subject there remains still a little for me to add.

2. IN OUR HANDS IS THE GREATEST POWER OF OUR DAY - GOLD: IN TWO DAYS WE CAN PROCURE FROM OUR STOREHOUSES ANY QUANTITY WE MAY PLEASE.

3. Surely there is no need to seek further proof that our rule is predestined by God? Surely we shall not fail with such wealth to prove that all that evil which for so many centuries we have had to commit has served at the end of ends the cause of true well-being - the bringing of everything into order? Though it be even by the exercise of some violence, yet all the same it will be established. We shall contrive to prove that we are benefactors who have restored to the rent and mangled earth the true good and also freedom of the person, and therewith we shall enable it to be enjoyed in peace and quiet, with proper dignity of relations, on the condition, of course, of strict observance of the laws established by us. We shall make plain therewith that freedom does not consist in dissipation and in the right of unbridled license any more than the dignity and force of a man do not consist in the right of everyone to promulgate destructive principles in the nature of freedom of conscience, equality and the like, that freedom of the person in no wise consists in the right to agitate oneself and others by abominable speeches before disorderly mobs, and that true freedom consists in the inviolability of the person who honorably and strictly observes all the laws of life in common, that human dignity is wrapped up in consciousness of the rights and also of the absence of rights of each, and not wholly and solely in fantastic imaginings about the subject of one's EGO.

4. One authority will be glorious because it will be all-powerful, will rule and guide, and not muddle along after leaders and orators shrieking themselves hoarse with senseless words which they call great principles and which are nothing else, to speak honestly, but utopian .... Our authority will be the crown of order, and in that is included the whole happiness of man. The aureole of this authority will inspire a mystical bowing of the knee before it and a reverent fear before it of all the peoples. True force makes no terms with any right, not even with that of God: none dare come near to it so as to take so much as a span from it away.

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 23

1. That the peoples may become accustomed to obedience it is necessary to inculcate lessons of humility and therefore to reduce the production of articles of luxury. By this we shall improve morals which have been debased by emulation in the sphere of luxury. We shall re-establish small master production which will mean laying a mine under the private capital of manufactures. This is indispensable also for the reason that manufacturers on the grand scale often move, though not always consciously, the thoughts of the masses in directions against the government. A people of small masters knows nothing of unemployment and this binds him closely with existing order, and consequently with the firmness of authority. For us its part will have been played out the moment authority is transferred into our hands. Drunkenness also will be prohibited by law and punishable as a crime against the humanness of man who is turned into a brute under the influence of alcohol.

2. Subjects, I repeat once more, give blind obedience only to the strong hand which is absolutely independent of them, for in it they feel the sword of defense and support against social scourges .... What do they want with an angelic spirit in a king? What they have to see in him is the personification of force and power.

3. The supreme lord who will replace all now existing rulers, dragging in their existence among societies demoralized by us, societies that have denied even the authority of God, from whose midst breeds out on all sides the fire of anarchy, must first of all proceed to quench this all-devouring flame. Therefore he will be obliged to kill off those existing societies, though he should drench them with his own blood, that he may resurrect them again in the form of regularly organized troops fighting consciously with every kind of infection that may cover the body of the State with sores.

4. This Chosen One of God is chosen from above to demolish the senseless forces moved by instinct and not reason, by brutishness and not humanness. These forces now triumph in manifestations of robbery and every kind of violence under the mask of principles of freedom and rights. They have overthrown all forms of social order to erect on the ruins the throne of the King of the Jews; but their part will be played out the moment he enters into his kingdom. Then it will be necessary to sweep them away from his path, on which must be left no knot, no splinter.

5. Then will it be possible for us to say to the peoples of the world: "Give thanks to God and bow the knee before him who bears on his front the seal of the predestination of man, to which God himself has led his star that none other but Him might free us from all the before-mentioned forces and evils".

_______________________________________________________________________

PROTOCOL No. 24

1. I pass now to the method of confirming the dynastic roots of King David to the last strata of the earth.

2. This confirmation will first and foremost be included in that which to this day has rested the force of conservatism by our learned elders of the conduct of the affairs of the world, in the directing of the education of thought of all humanity.

3. Certain members of the seed of David will prepare the kings and their heirs, selecting not by right of heritage but by eminent capacities, inducting them into the most secret mysteries of the political, into schemes of government, but providing always that none may come to knowledge of the secrets. The object of this mode of action is that all may know that government cannot be entrusted to those who have not been inducted into the secret places of its art ....

4. To these persons only will be taught the practical application of the aforenamed plans by comparison of the experiences of many centuries, all the observations on the politico-economic moves and social sciences - in a word, all the spirit of laws which have been unshakably established by nature herself for the regulation of the relations of humanity.

5. Direct heirs will often be set aside from ascending the throne if in their time of training they exhibit frivolity, softness and other qualities that are the ruin of authority, which render them incapable of governing and in themselves dangerous for kingly office.

6. Only those who are unconditionally capable for firm, even if it be to cruelty, direct rule will receive the reins of rule from our learned elders.

7. In case of falling sick with weakness of will or other form of incapacity. kings must by law hand over the reins of rule to new and capable hands.

8. The king's plan of action for the current moment, and all the more so for the future, will be unknown, even to those who are called his closest counselors.

9. Only the king and the three who stood sponsor for him will know what is coming.

10. In the person of the king who with unbending will is master of himself and of humanity all will discern as it were fate with its mysterious ways. None will know what the king wishes to attain by his dispositions, and therefore none will dare to stand across an unknown path.

11. It is understood that the brain reservoir of the king must correspond in capacity to the plan of government it has to contain. It is for this reason that he will ascend the throne not otherwise than after examination of his mind by the aforesaid learned elders.

12. That the people may know and love their king, it is indispensable for him to converse in the market-places with his people. This ensures the necessary clinching of the two forces which are now divided one from another by us by the terror.

13. This terror was indispensable for us till the time comes for both these forces separately to fall under our influence.

14. The king of the Jews must not be at the mercy of his passions, and especially of sensuality: on no side of his character must he give brute instincts power over his mind.

Penjajahan itu masih ada

Ada banyak faktor yang membuat orang memberontak, pemberontakan karena bosan tertindas, pemberontakan yang memang dibuat oleh konspirasi tingkat tinggi, pemberontakan yang tercipta karena keadaan, dan pemberontakan dikarenakan tidak ada lagi pembela keadilan dan pembuat kesejahteraan. Hidup bagaikan berburu, ada yang diburu dan ada yang memburu. mari kita simak cuplikan analisa berikut ini yang menurut saya logis sekali dengan apa yang terjadi oleh bangsa ini. Namun jangan patah semangat karena bila kita tidak ada kesempatan untuk berbuat maka semangat yang positif dan kasih sayang adalah keyakinan yang harus dipenggang. Dimana Hari yang lebih baik itu ada pada saatnya nanti..Segera...

Laissez-Faire Pak SBY, Laissez-Faire

Harga bahan bakar minyak (BBM) naik akhir Mei 2008. Itu sudah keputusan Pemerintah SBY–YK. Mahasiswa bisa saja menolak dan melakukan demonstrasi merata hampir di seluruh Indonesia, dari Padang sampai Kendari, dari Jakarta sampai Ternate. Tapi harga bensin tetap harus naik.

Para ekonom atau pengamat bisa saja protes. Kwik Kian Gie siap dengan hitung-hitungan bahwa tak betul rakyat disubsidi lewat harga BBM. Pemerintah ternyata sudah memperoleh keuntungan berlipat-lipat selama ini, dengan menjual bensin Rp 4500/liter. ‘’Mau debat dengan siapa saja, di mana saja, dari dulu saya siap. Tapi mereka diam saja,’’ kata mantan Kepala Bappenas itu.

Ekonom dan anggota DPR Drajat Wibowo bisa saja bersikukuh tak ada mashalat dengan APBN sekali pun harga BBM tak naik. Ia ajari cara menyusun APBN, antara lain, dengan menunda pembayaran cicilan utang.

Dengan itu Drajat ingin menunjukkan adalah bohong pernyataan yang menyebutkan APBN akan jebol kalau harga minyak tak dinaikkan. Ia prihatin, begitu harga BBM naik harga semua kebutuhan pokok turut naik pula. Maka rakyat yang selama ini daya belinya sudah merosot, menjadi korban. Pengalaman kenaikan harga BBM tahun 2005, menunjukkan begitu.

Bantuan Langsung Tunai (BLT) yang diberikan pemerintah tak ada artinya, rakyat tetap saja bertambah miskin. BLT tampaknya memang sekadar proyek politik pencitraan – bahwa Presiden kita pemurah – guna menghadapi pemilihan umum.

Padahal rakyat sudah amat menderita. Percuma saja Biro Pusat Statistik (BPS) memilih-milih dan memilah-milah data untuk mendukung citra pemerintah. Semua orang tahu di mana-mana sekarang rakyat makan nasi aking. Berita radio, koran dan TV menunjukkan berapa banyak anak-anak kurang gizi dan kelaparan. Di Makasar, seorang ibu hamil meninggal dunia karena berhari-hari tak tersentuh makanan. Mereka tak mungkin diselamatkan hanya dengan data BPS.

Lagi pula, apa pun data BPS, faktanya Indonesia masuk indeks 60 negara gagal 2007 (failed state index 2007) yang disusun Majalah Foreign Policy bekerja sama dengan lembaga think-tank, The Fund for Peace. Majalah itu amat berwibawa, milik The Carnegie Endowment, think-tank dengan jaringan internasional paling luas di Amerika Serikat. Salah satu pendiri majalah itu adalah Profesor Samuel Huntington, ahli ilmu politik senior dari Harvard University.

Yang hendak dikatakan, Foreign Policy bukan majalah yang diterbitkan dari pinggir got. Indonesia memang betul-betul negara gagal, satu kelompok dengan Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, atau Haiti. Shalat satu ukurannya: pemerintah pusat sangat lemah dan tak efektif, pelayanan umum jelek, korupsi dan kriminalitas menyebar, dan ekonomi merosot. Nah, kalau mau jujur, memang begitulah persis potret negeri kita sekarang.

Data indeks pembangunan manusia (human development index) dari badan PBB, UNDP, memberikan indikator serupa. Indonesia menduduki peringkat 107 dari 177 negara, jauh di bawah Singapore, Arab Saudi, Malaysia, atau Thailand. Malah kita di bawah Filipina, Vietnam, Palestina, atau Srilangka. Padahal Srilangka itu negeri rusuh karena pemberontakan Macan Tamil dan Palestina lebih rusuh lagi akibat penjajahan Israel.

Begitu pun kenyataannya tetap saja harga minyak harus naik. Apakah rakyat tambah menderita seperti dikhawatirkan Kwik Kian Gie atau Drajat Wibowo dan kawan-kawan, tak ada mashalat bagi pemerintah. Soalnya, ini sudah tak bisa ditawar. Ini sebetulnya untuk kepentingan ideologi.

Ideologi? Barang siapa membaca buku terlaris dari Naomi Klein, The Shock Doctrine, The Rise of Disaster Capitalism (The Penguin Group, September 2007), akan terang-benderanglah motif sebenarnya di balik langkah pemerintah menaikkan harga BBM atau mengobral 37 perusahaan BUMN (Badan Usaha Milik Negara) kepada asing. Itu semata-mata untuk menegakkan ideologi kapitalisme-laissez-faire, atau di sini dikenal sebagai sistem ekonomi liberal, yang dianut pemerintah kita.

Inilah sistem ekonomi pasar yang menyerahkan urusan ekonomi kepada perusahaan swasta dengan campur tangan pemerintah sebisa mungkin dihilangkan. Sistem ini menginginkan pemerintah tidur saja. Pemerintah tetap tak boleh mencampuri urusan ekonomi, sekali pun hanya untuk meningkatkan taraf hidup orang miskin.

Dalam pandangan ideologi ini, jika pemerintah mengurusi perekonomian orang miskin, itu sama artinya melakukan redistribusi kekayaan, menyebabkan orang menjadi malas dan kehilangan kreativitas. Kalau orang jadi miskin, biarkan saja miskin. Karenanya dia disebut sistem laissez-faire, dari bahasa Perancis: biarkan terjadi.

Ciri khasnya: deregulasi, pajak rendah (terutama untuk pengusaha kaya, agar mereka lebih cepat melakukan akumulasi modal untuk meningkatkan kemampuan bersaing), swastaisasi/privatisasi, anti-subsidi, anti-pengaturan upah buruh minimal, dan semacamnya.

Tentang upah buruh, misalnya, serahkan saja kepada mekanisme pasar, jangan diatur-atur pemerintah atau serikat buruh. Mekanisme pasar akan bekerja menentukan upah yang pantas untuk buruh. Artinya, semua terserah pengusaha. Karena itu belum bisa terlaksana, dunia perburuhan kita memakai sistem buruh terputus (off-sourcing), sehingga posisi tawar pengusaha kuat ketika berhadapan dengan serikat buruh.

Ideologi ini pertama kali dirumuskan ekonom Skotlandia, Adam Smith, di akhir abad ke-18. Tapi setelah ekonomi dunia dilanda krisiss dahsyat (great depression) di akhir 1920-an, mulai banyak negara meninggalkannya. Ideologi ini dituduh sebagai biang keladi kehancuran ekonomi, meski para pendukungnya selalu membela diri.

Ia kembali berkibar di awal 1980-an, ketika Presiden Amerika Serikat Ronald Reagan dan Perdana Menteri Inggris Margaret Teatcher mengkampanyekannya, terutama untuk menghadapi sistem ekonomi komunisme Uni Soviet, dalam perang dingin. Maka ambruknya Uni Soviet, dengan simbol rubuhnya Tembok Berlin, 1989, diklaim sebagai kehebatan sistem ini.

Dalam prakteknya sistem ini menyebabkan orang kaya bertambah kaya, orang miskin bertambah miskin. Dunia pun terus-menerus dilanda krisis ekonomi, mulai great depression sampai krisis yang melanda Asia 1997, atau Amerika Serikat sekarang.

Banyak para ahli berpendapat, multi-krisis yang melanda Amerika saat ini karena laissez-faire. George Soros, investor sukses pasar modal, termasuk berpendapat begitu. Padahal Soros justru dianggap simbol sukses kapitalisme global di tahun 1990-an.

Naomi Klein, 38 tahun, aktivis, penulis dan wartawati terkemuka Kanada, lulusan London School of Economics, berhasil mengungkap sebuah metode dari sistem kapitalisme laissez-faire. Itu dikembangkan pemenang nobel ekonomi 1976, Profesor Milton Friedman, dan pengikutnya di Chicago School of Economics, University of Chicago.

Klein menyebutnya Doktrin Kejut (The Shock Doctrine) dan itu yang ia jadikan judul buku setebal 558 halaman, dan banyak mendapat pujian. Sebuah artikel di Dow Jones Business News, Oktober 2007, menyebut The Shock Doctrine, The Rise of Disaster Capitalism (Doktrin Kejut, Bangkitnya Kapitalisme Bencana) sebagai buku terpenting tentang ekonomi di abad 21.

The Chicago Boys
Begini. Pada 2005, badai Katrina diikuti gelombang pasang meluluh-lantakkan New Orleans, kota berpenduduk 500.000 jiwa di tepi Sungai Mississippi, di tenggara Negara Bagian Louisiana. Hampir 2000 penduduk meninggal, rumah, jembatan, dan berbagai infrastruktur hancur. Inilah bencana alam dengan korban material terbesar di Amerika.

Paman Miltie – begitu Milton Friedman dipanggil hormat pengikutnya – ternyata punya pendapat tersendiri atas bencana itu. Melalui kolom di koran The Wall Street Journal, 3 bulan setelah bencana, Paman Miltie menulis, ‘’Banyak sekolah di New Orleans rusak. Begitu juga rumah tempat anak-anak berteduh. Anak-anak terpencar di seluruh negeri. Ini adalah sebuah tragedi. Ini juga sebuah peluang.’’

Bagaimana bencana begitu dahsyat disebut Profesor Friedman sebagai peluang? Ternyata itu beralasan. Hanya dalam tempo 19 bulan, ketika banyak penduduk masih tinggal di pengungsian, sebuah kompleks sekolah telah berdiri di bekas sekolah negeri (public school) yang dihanyutkan badai. Sekolah itu dilengkapi berbagai fasilitas dan guru. Tapi ia bukan lagi sekolah negeri melainkan sekolah swasta yang didirikan pemodal. Reformasi pendidikan telah terjadi dengan gampang. Tanpa badai Katrina tak mudah memprivatisasi sekolah publik itu.

Para bekas guru menyebut apa yang terjadi pada sekolah mereka sebagai perampasan lahan pendidikan. Naomi Klein menyebutnya aksi kapitalisme bencana (disaster capitalism). Ternyata sudah lebih tiga dekade Profesor Friedman dan pendukungnya yang biasa dijuluki The Chicago Boys, mentrapkan strategi itu: Menunggu datang krisis atau bencana lalu dengan cepat bergerak mereformasi status-quo.

Semua yang berbau pemerintah dijadikan swasta (swastaisasi/privatisasi), ketika orang-orang masih dirundung kaget. Krisis bisa saja terjadi karena perang, bencana alam, teror, ambruknya pasar modal, atau krisis ekonomi lainnya.

Dalam sebuah esei menarik, Friedman menulis bahwa hanya krisis – aktual atau hanya persepsi – yang bisa menghasilkan reformasi sesungguhnya untuk mengubah status-quo. Maka di New Orleans, orang bersiap-siap dengan stok makanan dan air minum, sementara para pendukung Friedman datang dengan ide-ide pasar bebas (free-market). Friedman meninggal dunia setahun kemudian, November 2006, dalam usia 94 tahun.

Dari riset Naomi Klein, diketahui bahwa pengalaman pertama Friedman mengeksploitasi krisis atau kejut (shock) terjadi pertengahan 1970-an, ketika Chili mengalami kudeta oleh Jenderal Augusto Pinochet. Negeri di Amerika Latin itu juga terkena trauma inflasi yang amat tinggi (hyperinflation). Friedman datang menasehati Diktator Pinochet untuk melakukan reformasi ekonomi dengan cepat: deregulasi, pemotongan pajak, perdagangan bebas, privatisasi BUMN, pemotongan anggaran sosial, antara lain, pemangkasan subsidi untuk rakyat miskin.

Semua dijalankan Diktator Pinochet dengan tangan besi. Maka Chili mengalami reformasi sistem ekonomi menjadi kapitalisme laissez-faire paling ekstrim yang pernah terjadi, dan dijuluki sebagai revolusi The Chicago School. Kebetulan sejumlah penasehat ekonomi diktator itu adalah bekas mahasiswa Friedman di Chicago University.

Naomi Klein mulai melakukan riset tentang ketergantungan kapitalisme pasar pada situasi krisis atau shock ketika Amerika Serikat menduduki Iraq, 2003. Penyerbuan itu betul-betul menimbulkan shock yang luar biasa bagi rakyat Iraq mau pun dunia. Lalu apa yang kemudian terjadi di negeri sosialis itu?

Luar biasa: Privatisasi massif berbagai perusahaan pemerintah, penurunan pajak sampai tinggal 15%, deregulasi dan perampingan fungsi pemerintah secara dramatis, terutama menyangkut urusan ekonomi dan praktek perdagangan bebas, sebebas-bebasnya. Friedman dan The Chicago Boys berperan dari belakang. Ia diketahui berteman akrab dengan Donald Rumsfeld, Menteri Pertahanan Amerika waktu itu, dan sejumlah pemikir neo-konservatif yang mengelilingi Presiden George Bush.

Coba bayangkan, militer saja diprivatisasi di Iraq. Pemerintah mengontrak perusahaan Amerika, Blackwater Worldwide – yang sebelumnya sudah terancam bangkrut – untuk proyek jasa pengamanan para kontraktor minyak dan proyek bisnis lainnya. Termasuk untuk mengamankan Kedutaan Besar Amerika Serikat dan personalnya di kawasan zona hijau (Green-zone), Baghdad. Sekitar 30.000 pasukan Blackwater betul-betul mirip tentara dengan persenjataan lengkap berkeliaran di Baghdad dan sekitarnya.

Pasukan bayaran itu berhak menembak dan membunuh orang tanpa bisa diadili. Dia tak tunduk pada hukum Iraq, tidak pula pada hukum Amerika Serikat. Oktober lalu, DPR Amerika membuat undang-undang, bahwa kontraktor yang bekerja pada Pemerintah Amerika di daerah konflik di luar negeri, bertanggung-jawab pada hukum Amerika. Tapi Gedung Putih menolaknya, dan sampai kini undang-undang itu terkatung-katung di Senat.

Padahal September lalu, sejumlah pasukan Blackwater, pengawal konvoi pejabat Departemen Luar Negeri Amerika Serikat yang berkunjung ke Baghdad, entah mengapa tiba-tiba menembaki kendaaran yang ada di jalan umum sekitarnya. Akibatnya, 17 orang meninggal, sejumlah lainnya luka-luka. Para pelaku penembakan sampai sekarang bebas tanpa diadili, dengan dalih belum ada undang-undangnya.

Serangan dahsyat tsunami akhir 2004 di Sri Langka, tak luput dari inceran kaum kapitalis. Penanam modal asing bekerjasama dengan bank internasional memanfaatkan situasi panik akibat bencana, untuk menguasai garis-garis pantai yang indah. Di sepanjang pantai dengan cepat berdiri resor wisata yang megah, hotel, villa, motel, dan sebagainya, menyebabkan ratusan ribu nelayan yang semula mendiami kawasan itu, kini tergusur.

Jelaslah sekarang bagaimana sistem kapitalisme global bekerja untuk mencapai tujuan: memanfaatkan momentum trauma kolektif dari suatu krisis, musibah atau bencana, untuk melaksanakan rekayasa sosial dan ekonomi di berbagai belahan bumi. [berlanjut....]

Laissez-Faire Pak SBY, Laissez-Faire [2]

Raksasa Carrefour dan Kios Eceran

Krisis ekonomi yang menimpa Asia pada 1997, jelas momentum yang ditunggu-tunggu oleh operator utama sistem kapitalisme global – IMF, Bank Dunia, dan WTO – dan itu dengan lengkap dilaporkan Klein di dalam The Shock Doktrine. Operasi IMF di Indonesia, misalnya, ditulis detil. Bagaimana IMF yang katanya datang untuk mengobati krisis, ternyata bekerja lebih untuk kepentingan ideologi kapitalisme.

Bagaimana deregulasi, privatisasi, dan berbagai perangkat ideologi laissez-faire dipaksakan. Dan untuk itu, menurut The Shock Doktrine, IMF bisa sukses karena bekerja sama dengan kelompok Mafia-Berkeley di Indonesia yang dipimpin Profesor Widjojo Nitisastro (halaman 271). Biarlah sejarah kelak membuktikan, apakah tindakan kelompok Mafia-Berkeley itu penghianatan kepada bangsa Indonesia, atau tidak.

Sejak itu, bukan rahasia lagi kalau banyak undang-undang kita yang amat liberal disahkan DPR atas pesanan IMF. Dikabarkan sejumlah draf undang-undang disiapkan NDI (National Democratic Institute for International Affairs), organisasi yang dibentuk dan dibiayai pemerintah Amerika Serikat – dekat dengan Partai Demokrat – dengan dalih untuk menyebarkan demokrasi di negeri berkembang. Dulu NDI sempat punya ruang khusus di Gedung DPR-RI. Jadi DPR kita tinggal mengetuk palu.

Operasi IMF dalam krisis ekonomi Asia amat menakjubkan. Dalam tempo 20 bulan, terjadi 186 merger dan aquisisi (pengambil-alihan) atas perusahaan-perusahaan negeri yang dilanda krisis -- Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Filipina, dan Korea Selatan -- oleh perusahaan multi-nasional, terutama dari Amerika Serikat. Itu tercatat sebagai aquisisi terbesar yang pernah terjadi di dunia. Merrill Lynch dan Morgan Stanley, perusahaan Amerika yang banyak berperan sebagai agen merger dan aquisisi itu, panen keuntungan komisi yang cukup besar.

Carlyle Group yang suka merekrut ‘’pensiunan’’ pejabat tinggi Amerika – mulai bekas Menlu James Baker sampai bekas Presiden George H.W.Bush – sebagai konsultan, memborong perusahaan telkom Daewoo dan perusahaan informasi Ssangyong. Yang disebut terakhir merupakan shalat satu perusahaan teknologi tinggi terbesar di Korea Selatan. Dengan menguasai perusahaan itu, Carlyle menjadi pemegang saham mayoritas di shalat satu bank terbesar di negeri ginseng itu.

Semua transaksi itu tak normal, atau dengan kata lain dijual obral. Sekadar contoh, perusahaan mobil Korea Daewoo yang sebelum krisis bernilai 6 milyar dollar, waktu itu diambil-alih perusahaan mobil Amerika, General Motor, hanya dengan 400 juta dollar.

Di Indonesia, sistem penyediaan air minum dikavling oleh Thames Water dari Inggris dan Lyonnaise des Eaux dari Perancis. Westcoast Eergy dari Kanada menguasai proyek pembangkit listrik yang besar.

Sejak IMF menguasai Indonesia, perusahaan raksasa pengecer Carrefour dari Perancis masuk ke sini, menyapu perusahaan lokal yang sudah lama ada, seperti Golden Truly atau Hero, atau perusahaan kecil-kecil di pasar tradisional Tanah Abang dan Cipulir, yang jumlahnya begitu banyak. Nasib mereka tambah parah karena kemudian super-market raksasa dari Malaysia, Giant, hadir kemari. Dia telan Hero yang memang sudah ngos-ngosan. Itulah hasil konkret reformasi 1998.

Ternyata itu belum cukup. Belum lama, perusahaan Perancis itu membeli Alfa-Mart, super-market yang aktif masuk ke pedesaan. Dengan demikian, kini Carrefour dengan bebasnya akan menghancurkan kios eceran di desa-desa. Itulah laissez-faire yang sesungguhnya.

Karena laisses-faire, Presiden SBY lebih memilih menyerahkan proyek minyak dan gas di Cepu yang amat menguntungkan kepada Exxon-Mobil, perusahaan minyak terbesar dan tertua Amerika Serikat, daripada kepada Pertamina, perusahaan BUMN milik sendiri.

Ternyata setelah resep-resep IMF ditrapkan, artinya prinsip kapitalisme laissez-faire dilaksanakan, menurut The Shock Doktrine, justru penduduk miskin bertambah 20 juta orang di Korea Selatan, Malaysia, Thailand, Filipina, dan Indonesia. Pengangguran meledak.

Organisasi buruh internasional ILO, mencatat terjadi 24 juta penganggur baru. Itu justru terjadi pada masa puncak pelaksanaan reformasi IMF. Di Indonesia, angka pengangguran meloncat dari 4% menjadi 12%, dan dua tahun kemudian melambung tiga kali lipat. Setiap bulan ada 60.000 buruh di Thailand dan 300.000 buruh di Korea Selatan yang harus diberhentikan.

Di balik angka-angka statistik itu banyak kisah mengharukan, terutama menimpa anak-anak dan perempuan. Di pedesaan Korea Selatan dan Filipina banyak orang tua harus menjual anak gadisnya kepada pedagang manusia, untuk kemudian dijadikan pelacur di Australia, Eropa, dan Amerika Utara. Di Thailand, pejabat kesehatan melaporkan hanya dalam setahun terjadi peningkatan pelacuran anak-anak sebesar 20%. Data yang mirip terjadi di Filipina.

Tapi sudahlah, ini semua cerita masa lalu. Sekarang, krisis baru terjadi lagi karena harga minyak meningkat di atas 120 dollar/barel. Dunia kian terguncang setelah harga pangan ikut menggila. Artinya, berdasarkan tesis The Shock Doktrine, kapitalisme global dan para operatornya sekarang sedang bekerja.

Tapi di sini apalagi yang mau direformasi? Sejak 1998, Indonesia sudah menjadi shalat satu negara kapitalisme laissez-faire paling liberal di dunia. Lihatlah berbagai undang-undang yang dilahirkan DPR, semua liberal. Mulai UU Migas, UU privatisasi air, Pendidikan, Pertanahan, dan terakhir Undang-Undang Pelabuhan.

Karena liberalisme, siapa yang ingin masuk perguruan tinggi negeri harus menyediakan uang Rp 100 juta. Habis bagaimana lagi, kampus sedapat mungkin harus membiayai diri sendiri. Dengan demikian, anak petani, nelayan, buruh, pedagang kecil, jangan harap bisa mendaftar ke sana. Padahal kalau tak universitas negeri kemana lagi mereka belajar untuk meningkatkan taraf hidupnya?

Artinya, dengan sistem ini orang miskin sampai kapan pun akan terus miskin. Hampir tertutup kemungkinan bagi mereka melakukan mobilitas vertikal lewat pendidikan. Inilah kemiskinan yang diciptakan oleh sebuah struktur.

Era Universitas Gajah Mada (UGM) dijuluki Ndeso karena banyak anak desa kuliah di sana, sudah berakhir. Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB) serupa. Zaman ketika anak-anak desa dari seluruh Indonesia berlomba-lomba belajar ke sana, kini agaknya sudah menjadi nostalgia.

Perusahaan minyak Pertamina yang dulu perkasa kini sudah dirontokkan. Bulog yang dulu efektif sebagai penjamin stabilitas pangan sudah tamat riwayatnya. Bahwa akibatnya rakyat bertambah melarat dan segelintir konglomerat berlipat-ganda kekayaannya, itu soal lain.

Majalah bisnis Forbes, 13 Desember 2007, menulis sepanjang tahun lalu kekayaan para konglomerat Indonesia meloncat dua kali lipat. Sungguh fantastis. Jadi kalau BPS menyodorkan angka pertumbuhan ekonomi kita tahun ini sekian persen, percayalah, itu berasal dari pertumbuhan kekayaan konglomerat kita. Bukan pertumbuhan kekayaan rakyat banyak.

Yang paling menakjubkan adalah Menko Kesra Aburizal Bakrie. Pemilik perusahaan kelompok Bakrie itu, kekayaan bersihnya tahun lalu meroket empat kali lipat. Itu menjadikannya sebagai orang terkaya Indonesia, dengan kekayaan 5,4 milyar dollar.

Apakah Aburizal punya lampu Aladin? Sebuah artikel di Asia Times Online, 22 Juli 2006, sebenarnya sudah pernah membongkar rahasia lampu Aladin itu. Antara lain, karena politik dan bisnis di Indonesia di zaman Presiden SBY, tak terpisah melainkan menyatu.

Memang begitulah yang selalu terjadi di negeri dengan sistem laissez-faire. Begitulah Rusia di zaman Boris Yeltsin dulu. Para konglomerat dalam tempo singkat mendadak jadi kaya-raya, sampai Vladimir Putin datang menertibkannya. Para konglomerat itu kini lari ke luar negeri atau masuk penjara di Siberia. Tapi nantilah dalam kesempatan lain soal ini dibahas.

Di mata kaum kapitalisme laissez-faire, masih ada status-quo yang tersisa di Indonesia. BBM belum sepenuhnya mengikuti harga pasar dan perusahaan BUMN masih eksis. Mumpung suasana shock akibat kenaikan harga minyak dan krisis pangan masih berlangsung, sektor hilir pertambangan harus direformasi. Artinya, pemerintah harus menaikkan harga BBM, dan BUMN harus diobral. Semuanya harus dilakukan sekarang, mumpung krisis masih terjadi.

Masih kurang jelas? Silahkan berkeliling Jakarta dan sekitarnya. Lihatlah bagaimana perusahaan minyak internasional Shell, dan Petronas dari Malaysia, telah dan sedang membangun sejumlah pompa bensin raksasa. Kabarnya izin yang dikeluarkan pemerintah sudah lebih 100.

Semua pompa bensin Shell atau Petronas itu buka sampai malam dengan lampu yang terang-benderang, tapi betul-betul sepi pembeli. Seharian puluhan petugasnya yang berseragam hanya duduk-berdiri sampai capek sendiri, tak pernah melayani konsumen. Coba dicek, penghasilannya setiap bulan, mungkin tak cukup walau untuk sekadar membayar rekening listrik.

Ini terjadi karena mereka hanya menjual BBM non-subsidi yang konsumennya hanya segelintir mobil mewah milik orang kaya. Bahwa mereka terus membangun pompa bensin baru, pasti karena ada jaminan subsidi minyak akan dicabut.

Dengan demikian mereka bisa bersaing bebas dengan pompa bensin Pertamina milik pengusaha lokal yang selama ini menguasai pasar karena menjual BBM bersubsidi. Bila itu terjadi, pompa bensin multi-nasional yang raksasa itu pasti dengan mudah menelan pompa bensin lokal yang kecil-kecil.

Kasus Carrefour merontokkan Hero atau pedagang Tanah Abang, akan berulang. Itu sebabnya Shell dan Petronas dengan sabar menunggu laissez-faire. Cukup jelas? [habis/www.hidayatullah.com]

..::100 Tahun KEBANGKRUTAN NASIONAL::..

2008-05-21T17:47:00.000-07:00

Kebangkrutan Nasional, itu lebih cocok ketimbang kebangkitan nasional dengan nuansa optimis yang dipaksakan ditambah seringai penuh dendam juga kemarahan yang sudah berkali-kali terpancing. Pembungkaman model baru bernama BLT(Bantuan Langsung Tunai) yang hanya Rp 100 ribu dan hanya beberapa bulan saja sebagai pembungkaman atas kenaikan BBM yang tak berujung.

Kebodohan lama terulang lagi dan lagi dan lagi seakan tanpa henti…Sepertinya tongkat estafet setiap rezim hanyalah pengulangan kebodohan yang sama..Reformasi usang yang basi..Indonesia Bisa! Bisa apa? Bisa korup? Bisa mampus? Bisa miskin? Bisa Nyolong? Slogan yang serba abu-abu..optimisme nan klise..Seperti biasa ucapan para politisi pengobral janji:”Kami akan membela rakyat” “dari rakyat oleh rakyat untuk rakyat”. Pertanyaan besarnya adalah rakyat yang mana? Rakyat siapa? UUD 45 kita pun seperti itu tidak ada penafsiran yang spesifik atas undang2 yg dibuat.

Lelah sudah dengan semua kebohongan…mari dengarkan nurani sendiri.bersihkan diri dari kebohongan mulai dari diri sendiri. Mari sama- sama menghapus penjajahan bentuk baru ini dengan berbenah diri, kontemplasi dan melakukan perubahan yang positif. Stop penindasan atas nama kebaikan bersama, Stop Penindasan atas nama kenyamanan, Stop Penindasan atas nama Perdamaian, Stop penindasan atas nama perubahan, Stop Penindasan atas nama Kebangkitan Nasional, STOP Penindasan atas nama Untuk Rakyat. Stop Penindasan atas nama kemiskinan. STOP Penindasan!

Mari kita tanamkan rasa cinta, mencintai diri sendiri, mencintai keluarga, mencintai teman, mencintai semuanya dalam rangka kita Menyintai Allah SWT. Mari kita tanamkan pikiran positif dengan implementasi nyata. Jangan hanya menunggu, karena sejak VOC datang sampai pendeklarasian kemerdekaan Indonesia adalah hasil perjuangan panjang dimana berjuang melawan pengkhianat bangsa dan negara lebih sulit daripada melawan penjajah langsung. sampai saat ini para pengkhianat yang bermuka sama berbahasa sama warna kulit sama dari bangsa yang sama ini masih ada. Merekalah yang membuat kemerdekaan bangsa ini selalu terhalang dan terbentur tanpa ada hasil yang memuaskan rakyat Indonesia.

Frustasi jangan lagi mewarnai pikiran kita. Mari kita berfikir bahwa suatu saat nanti akan ada hari dimana semua rakyat diperlakukan adil semua menjadi sejahtera dan perdamaian tanpa ada lagi korban. Mari kita Berbuat yang bermanfaat untuk sesama dan berjuang untuk keadilan dan kesejahteraan yang nyata.

Jangan ada lagi Hari KEBANGKRUTAN NASIONAL yang ada hanya hari Persatuan, kesatuan, Keadilan dan Kesejahteraan dalam Perdamaian. Semoga Allah SWT mengabulkan semua cita-cita baik kita semua. Amin ya Robal Alamin.

20 Mei 1908 BUKAN hari kebangkitan nasional.

2008-05-15T19:08:00.000-07:00

Kelahiran organisasi Boedhi Oetomo pada tanggal 20 Mei 1908 sesungguhnya amat tidak patut dan tidak pantas diperingati sebagai Hari Kebangkitan Nasional, karena organisasi ini mendukung penjajahan Belanda, sama sekali tidak pernah mencita-citakan Indonesia merdeka, a-nasionalis, anti agama, dan bahkan sejumlah tokohnya merupakan anggota Freemasonry Belanda (Vritmejselareen )

Dipilihnya tanggal 20 Mei sebagai Hari Kebangkitan Nasional, sesungguhnya merupakan suatu penghinaan terhadap esensi perjuangan merebut kemerdekaan yang diawali oleh tokoh-tokoh Islam yang dilakukan oleh para penguasa sekular. Karena organisasi Syarikat Islam (SI) yang lahir terlebih dahulu dari Boedhi Oetomo (BO), yakni pada tahun 1905, yang jelas-jelas bersifat nasionalis, menentang penjajah Belanda, dan mencita-citakan Indonesia merdeka, tidak dijadikan tonggak kebangkitan nasional.

Mengapa BO yang terang-terangan antek penjajah Belanda, mendukung penjajahan Belanda atas Indonesia, a-nasionalis, tidak pernah mencita-citakan Indonesia merdeka, dan anti-agama malah dianggap sebagai tonggak kebangkitan bangsa? Ini jelas kesalahan yang teramat nyata.

Anehnya, hal ini sama sekali tidak dikritisi oleh tokoh-tokoh Islam kita. Bahkan secara menyedihkan ada sejumlah tokoh Islam dan para Ustadz selebritis yang ikut-ikutan merayakan peringatan Hari Kebangkitan Nasional 20 Mei di berbagai event. Mereka ini sebenarnya telah melakukan sesuatu tanpa memahami esensi di balik hal yang dilakukannya. Rasulullah SAW telah mewajibkan umatnya untuk bersikap: “Ilmu qabla amal” (Ilmu sebelum mengamalkan), yang berarti umat Islam wajib mengetahui duduk-perkara sesuatu hal secara benar sebelum mengerjakannya.

Bahkan Sayyid Quthb di dalam karyanya “Tafsir Baru Atas Realitas” (1996) menyatakan orang-orang yang mengikuti sesuatu tanpa pengetahuan yang cukup adalah sama dengan orang-orang jahiliyah, walau orang itu mungkin seorang ustadz bahkan profesor. Jangan sampai kita “Fa Innahu Minhum” (kita menjadi golongan mereka) terhadap kejahiliyahan.

Agar kita tidak terperosok berkali-kali ke dalam lubang yang sama, sesuatu yang bahkan tidak pernah dilakukan seekor keledai sekali pun, ada baiknya kita memahami siapa sebenarnya Boedhi Oetomo itu.

Pendukung Penjajahan Belanda

Akhir Februari 2003, sebuah amplop besar pagi-pagi telah tergeletak di atas meja kerja penulis. Pengirimnya KH. Firdaus AN, mantan Ketua Majelis Syuro Syarikat Islam kelahiran Maninjau tahun 1924. Di dalam amplop coklat itu, tersembul sebuah buku berjudul “Syarikat Islam Bukan Budi Utomo: Meluruskan Sejarah Pergerakan Bangsa” karya si pengirim. Di halaman pertama, KH. Firdaus AN menulis: “Hadiah kenang-kenangan untuk Ananda Rizki Ridyasmara dari Penulis, Semoga Bermanfaat!” Di bawah tanda tangan beliau tercantum tanggal 20. 2. 2003.

KH. Firdaus AN telah meninggalkan kita untuk selama-lamanya. Namun pertemuan-pertemuan dengan beliau, berbagai diskusi dan obrolan ringan antara penulis dengan beliau, masih terbayang jelas seolah baru kemarin terjadi. Selain topik pengkhianatan the founding-fathers bangsa ini yang berakibat dihilangkannya tujuh buah kata dalam Mukadimmah UUD 1945, topik diskusi lainnya yang sangat konsern beliau bahas adalah tentang Boedhi Oetomo.

“BO tidak memiliki andil sedikit pun untuk perjuangan kemerdekan, karena mereka para pegawai negeri yang digaji Belanda untuk mempertahankan penjajahan yang dilakukan tuannya atas Indonesia. Dan BO tidak pula turut serta mengantarkan bangsa ini ke pintu gerbang kemedekaan, karena telah bubar pada tahun 1935. BO adalah organisasi sempit, lokal dan etnis, di mana hanya orang Jawa dan Madura elit yang boleh menjadi anggotanya. Orang Betawi saja tidak boleh menjadi anggotanya, ” tegas KH. Firdaus AN.

BO didirikan di Jakarta tanggal 20 Mei 1908 atas prakarsa para mahasiswa kedokteran STOVIA, Soetomo dan kawan-kawan. Perkumpulan ini dipimpin oleh para ambtenaar, yakni para pegawai negeri yang setia terhadap pemerintah kolonial Belanda. BO pertama kali diketuai oleh Raden T. Tirtokusumo, Bupati Karanganyar kepercayaan Belanda, yang memimpin hingga tahun 1911. Kemudian dia diganti oleh Pangeran Aryo Notodirodjo dari Keraton Paku Alam Yogyakarta yang digaji oleh Belanda dan sangat setia dan patuh pada induk semangnya.

Di dalam rapat-rapat perkumpulan dan bahkan di dalam penyusunan anggaran dasar organisasi, BO menggunakan bahasa Belanda, bukan bahasa Indonesia. “Tidak pernah sekali pun rapat BO membahas tentang kesadaran berbangsa dan bernegara yang merdeka. Mereka ini hanya membahas bagaimana memperbaiki taraf hidup orang-orang Jawa dan Madura di bawah pemerintahan Ratu Belanda, memperbaiki nasib golongannya sendiri, dan menjelek-jelekkan Islam yang dianggapnya sebagai batu sandungan bagi upaya mereka, ” papar KH. Firdaus AN.

Di dalam Pasal 2 Anggaran Dasar BO tertulis “Tujuan organisasi untuk menggalang kerjasama guna memajukan tanah dan bangsa Jawa dan Madura secara harmonis. ” Inilah tujuan BO, bersifat Jawa-Madura sentris, sama sekali bukan kebangsaan.

Noto Soeroto, salah seorang tokoh BO, di dalam satu pidatonya tentang Gedachten van Kartini alsrichtsnoer voor de Indische Vereniging berkata: “Agama Islam merupakan batu karang yang sangat berbahaya... Sebab itu soal agama harus disingkirkan, agar perahu kita tidak karam dalam gelombang kesulitan. ”

Sebuah artikel di “Suara Umum”, sebuah media massa milik BO di bawah asuhan Dr. Soetomo terbitan Surabaya, dikutip oleh A. Hassan di dalam Majalah “Al-Lisan” terdapat tulisan yang antara lain berbunyi, “Digul lebih utama daripada Makkah”, “Buanglah Ka’bah dan jadikanlah Demak itu Kamu Punya Kiblat!” (M. S) Al-Lisan nomor 24, 1938.

Karena sifatnya yang tunduk pada pemerintahan kolonial Belanda, maka tidak ada satu pun anggota BO yang ditangkap dan dipenjarakan oleh Belanda. Arah perjuangan BO yang sama sekali tidak berasas kebangsaan, melainkan chauvinisme sempit sebatas memperjuangkan Jawa dan Madura saja telah mengecewakan dua tokoh besar BO sendiri, yakni Dr. Soetomo dan Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo, sehingga keduanya hengkang dari BO.

Bukan itu saja, di belakang BO pun terdapat fakta yang mencengangkan. Ketua pertama BO yakni Raden Adipati Tirtokusumo, Bupati Karanganyar, ternyata adalah seorang anggota Freemasonry. Dia aktif di Loge Mataram sejak tahun 1895.

Sekretaris BO (1916), Boediardjo, juga seorang Mason yang mendirikan cabangnya sendiri yang dinamakan Mason Boediardjo. Hal ini dikemukakan dalam buku “Tarekat Mason Bebas dan Masyarakat di Hindia Belanda dan Indonesia 1764-1962” (Dr. Th. Stevens), sebuah buku yang dicetak terbatas dan hanya diperuntukan bagi anggota Mason Indonesia.

Dalam tulisan kedua akan dibahas mengenai organisasi kebangsaan pertama di Indonesia, Syarikat Islam, yang telah berdiri tiga tahun sebelum BO, dan perbandinganya dengan BO, sehingga kita dengan akal yang jernih bisa menilai bahwa Hari Kebangkitan Nasional seharusnya mengacu pada kelahiran SI pada tanggal 16 Oktober 1905, sama sekali bukan 20 Mei 1908. (Bersambung/Rizki Ridyasmara)

(Sambungan)

Dalam tulisan bagian pertama, telah dipaparkan betapa organisasi Boedhi Oetomo (BO) sama sekali tidak pantas dijadikan tonggak kebangkitan nasional. Karena BO tidak pernah membahas kebangsaan dan nasionalisme, mendukung penjajahan Belanda atas Indonesia, anti agama, dan bahkan sejumlah tokohnya ternyata anggota Freemasonry. Ini semua mengecewakan dua pendiri BO sendiri yakni Dr. Soetomo dan Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo, sehingga keduanya akhirnya hengkang dari BO.

Tiga tahun sebelum BO dibentuk, Haji Samanhudi dan kawan-kawan mendirikan Syarikat Islam (SI, awalnya Syarikat Dagang Islam, SDI) di Solo pada tanggal 16 Oktober 1905. “Ini merupakan organisasi Islam yang terpanjang dan tertua umurnya dari semua organisasi massa di tanah air Indonesia, ” tulis KH. Firdaus AN.

Berbeda dengan BO yang hanya memperjuangkan nasib orang Jawa dan Madura—juga hanya menerima keanggotaan orang Jawa dan Madura, sehingga para pengurusnya pun hanya terdiri dari orang-orang Jawa dan Madura—sifat SI lebih nasionalis. Keanggotaan SI terbuka bagi semua rakyat Indonesia yang mayoritas Islam. Sebab itu, susunan para pengurusnya pun terdiri dari berbagai macam suku seperti: Haji Samanhudi dan HOS. Tjokroaminoto berasal dari Jawa Tengah dan Timur, Agus Salim dan Abdoel Moeis dari Sumatera Barat, dan AM. Sangaji dari Maluku.

Guna mengetahui perbandingan antara kedua organisasi tersebut—SI dan BO—maka di bawah ini dipaparkan perbandingan antara keduanya:

Tujuan:
- SI bertujuan Islam Raya dan Indonesia Raya,
- BO bertujuan menggalang kerjasama guna memajukan Jawa-Madura (Anggaran Dasar BO Pasal 2).

Sifat:
- SI bersifat nasional untuk seluruh bangsa Indonesia,
- BO besifat kesukuan yang sempit, terbatas hanya Jawa-Madura,

Bahasa:
- SI berbahasa Indonesia, anggaran dasarnya ditulis dalam bahasa Indonesia,
- BO berbahasa Belanda, anggaran dasarnya ditulis dalam bahasa Belanda

Sikap Terhadap Belanda:
- SI bersikap non-koperatif dan anti terhadap penjajahan kolonial Belanda,
- BO bersikap menggalang kerjasama dengan penjajah Belanda karena sebagian besar tokoh-tokohnya terdiri dari kaum priyayi pegawai pemerintah kolonial Belanda,

Sikap Terhadap Agama:
- SI membela Islam dan memperjuangkan kebenarannya,
- BO bersikap anti Islam dan anti Arab (dibenarkna oleh sejarawan Hamid Algadrie dan Dr. Radjiman)

Perjuangan Kemerdekaan:
- SI memperjuangkan kemerdekaan Indonesia dan mengantar bangsa ini melewati pintu gerbang kemerdekaan,
- BO tidak pernah memperjuangkan kemerdekaan Indonesia dan telah membubarkan diri tahun 1935, sebab itu tidak mengantarkan bangsa ini melewati pintu gerbang kemerdekaan,

Korban Perjuangan:
- Anggota SI berdesak-desakan masuk penjara, ditembak mati oleh Belanda, dan banyak anggotanya yang dibuang ke Digul, Irian Barat,
- Anggota BO tidak ada satu pun yang masuk penjara, apalagi ditembak dan dibuang ke Digul,

Kerakyatan:
- SI bersifat kerakyatan dan kebangsaan,
- BO bersifat feodal dan keningratan,

Melawan Arus:
- SI berjuang melawan arus penjajahan,
- BO menurutkan kemauan arus penjajahan,

Kelahiran:
- SI (SDI) lahir 3 tahun sebelum BO yakni 16 Oktober 1905,
- BO baru lahir pada 20 Mei 1908,

Seharusnya 16 Oktober
Hari Kebangkitan Nasional yang sejak tahun 1948 kadung diperingati setiap tanggal 20 Mei sepanjang tahun, seharusnya dihapus dan digantikan dengan tanggal 16 Oktober, hari berdirinya Syarikat Islam. Hari Kebangkitan Nasional Indonesia seharusnya diperingati tiap tanggal 16 Oktober, bukan 20 Mei. Tidak ada alasan apa pun yang masuk akal dan logis untuk menolak hal ini.

Jika kesalahan tersebut masih saja dilakukan, bahkan dilestarikan, maka saya khawatir bahwa jangan-jangan kesalahan tersebut disengaja. Saya juga khawatir, jangan-jangan kesengajaan tersebut dilakukan oleh para pejabat bangsa ini yang sesungguhnya anti Islam dan a-historis.

Jika keledai saja tidak terperosok ke lubang yang sama hingga dua kali, maka sebagai bangsa yang besar, bangsa Indonesia seharusnya mulai hari ini juga menghapus tanggal 20 Mei sebagai Hari Kebangkitan Nasional, dan melingkari besar-besar tanggal 16 Oktober dengan spidol merah dengan catatan “Hari Kebangkitan Nasional”.

"SISTEM yang kamu DUKUNG adalah sistem yang kamu BENCII"!! (Puppen)

Sudahkah kita merdeka??? Sudahkah kita terbebas dari penjajahan??? Mungkin kita masih terjajah dalam bentuk baru.

Wake up!! Imperialism still here!! Bukan penjajahan fisik, namun penjajahan pemikiran, penafsiran, keyakinan, ideologi&budaya. Siapa saja yang tidak setuju dengan sistem atau keinginan sang penjajah maka penyerangan fisik pasti tak terelakkan.Semua harus takluk dalam pendudukan secara diplomatis,lobby-lobby,dan ancaman yang anarkis atau banyak orang tak bersalah menjadi korban kebrutalan sang penjajah.Para Hitmen meruntuhkan perekonomian, menebar kemiskinan dan penghancur masa depan.Telah berdiri mengangkangi kita, dengan bangga mereka berkata :"Kami datang, kami taklukan dan kami menang". Evil empire strikes back! Para bankir menyeringai, para elder tertawa puas, para penguasa korupsi, para pemuda menyuarakan hedonisme, para budak tak merasa diperbudak, para pahlawan terpidana, para relawan terkungkung tirani. Dimanakah kita? Apakah ini yang kita inginkan? Atau mungkin ini yang kita inginkan. Bungkam aku, jatuhkan aku,bunuh aku, hilangkan aku, namun kau akan tetap menemukan keyakinan ini tegak bersama generasi yang lebih kuat akan terus melawanmu sampai akhir. Ini bukan kata-kata..ini suara-suara keyakinan yang akan terus memburumu seperti kutukan..

Merdeka atau mati ! Semangat yang sudah pudar puluhan tahun lalu. Terlena dengan kemapanan yang mengharuskan kita tunduk kepada penjajah.Keyakinan hanyalah ritual belaka, hidup dengan cara berfikir, berkonsep, berbudaya, bergaya penjajah. Tanpa meninggalkan kepercayaan dan keyakinan. Kepercayaan dan keyakinan terkadang hanyalah bersifat keturunan. Tanpa mengetahui hakikat dan syariatnya.

Mereka tetap menjajah masih dengan tujuan yang sama yaitu 3G= Gold, Gospel & Glory. Gold adalah mengeruk harta kekayaan yang terjajah sampai habis tak tersisa untuk yang terjajah. Gospel adalah menanamkan keyakinan,pemikiran ideologi,penafsiran&budaya sang penjajah untuk diadaptasi oleh yang terjajah. Glory adalah kemenangan yang diraih dengan segala cara untuk mendapatkan Gold dari yang terjajah dan menanamkan Gospel untuk sang penjajah. Mereka menisbatkan satu mata satu piramida, satu jangka, satu penggaris siku, satu huruf G tanpa ragu. Eksistensi mereka seperti jaring laba-laba yang membuat koneksi disegala arah bahkan tanpa terasa mungkin kita telah duduk bersama dan bekerja sama dengan mereka sehingga kelak tanpa terasa mereka mencabut keyakinan tanpa harus meninggalkannya.

Mereka ada disekeliling kita dengan rupa yang sama, agama yang sama, bahasa yang sama namun keyakinan, pemikiran, ideologi dan kebudayaan yang berbeda. Mereka tercipta atas kesadaran sendiri dalam kontrol sang penjajah.Injak balik, lakukan apa yang mereka benci, mereka benci persaudaraan, mereka benci kekuatan yang melampaui mereka, mereka melakukan kecurangan, meraka benci cinta, mereka takut dengan makna Jihad sesungguhnya, mereka takut jika kita bersatu, mereka sebenarnya pengecut..Karena mereka hanyalah pembisik, pemodal dan pengatur strategi tanpa harus menjadi pengeksekusi.

Kita benci penjajah dan penjajahan tapi kenapa pola pikir,ideology,kebudayaan,system dan keyakinan kita sama seperti layaknya penjajah yang brutal dan anarkis??!! Lawan segala bentuk penjajahan, tolak, boykot&berkorban.Rapatkan barisan, atur strategi, kontemplasi, tegakkan keyakinan dan hancurkan bangsa penjajah."What better place than here?! What better time than now?!" (RATM).

Merdeka atau mati....jiwa terbang untuk kemerdekaan abadi....menegakkan kedaulatan negeri yang hakiki.Hidup cuma sekali, keyakinan harus diperjuangkan. Mengembalikan kejayaan 1400 tahun yang lalu. Tanpa ada eksistensi mereka, yaa tanpa eksistensi Mereka.. Mereka yang mengangkangi kita..Kerajaan Setan tanpa aturan diambang kehancuran.....DAMNOCRACY !!!

Mulyana

(Merdeka atau Mati)
Rapatkan Barisan Hancurkan Tiran Kerajaan Setan!!!
PS: Mungkin kalian mengetahui pergerakan kami namun seperti kalian, kami hanya meninggalkan jejak-jejak tanpa harus kalian mengetahui arah, strategi dan tujuan kami.Sampai suatu ketika kalian hancur tak terasa tanpa sisa...Tunggu kami... Segera.........

22 Cara Aplikasi Hukum Ketertarikan

Apa yang kita inginkan dan tidak kita inginkan - akan diwujudkan, jadi sebaiknya kita fokus pada apa yang kita inginkan.
Karena tidak ada batas atas apa yang dapat kita wujudkan, kita tidak perlu perlu membatasi diri karena kondisi kita sekarang. Kita bisa menjadi sukses seperti orang lain. Carilah tokoh panutan Anda untuk sukses.
Cintailah diri Anda sendiri dulu, baru Anda bisa mewujudkan/menarik semua keinginan Anda.
Selalu lihat bahwa setiap orang baik adanya. Berhentilah mencari kesalahan orang. Lihat potensi setiap orang, potensi setiap situasi, potensi diri sendiri.
Masa ini adalah perwujudan pikiran kita masa lalu, masa depan adalah perwujudan pikiran kita masa kini. Tanyakan pada diri sendiri apa yang mau dicapai dalam 1, 2, 3, 5 tahun lagi, visualisasikan, maka pikiran akan mencari jalan untuk mewujudkannya.
Jalanikan praktek The Secret dengan gembira! Nikmatilah! Andalah pencipta hidup Anda!
Buatlah catatan tentang hal-hal yang Anda inginkan, reviewlah beberapa hari sekali, tambahkan keinginan Anda bilamana ada, dalam kebahagian dan kegembiraan.
Jangan melihat suatu peristiwa dalam kontek kondisi terburuk, tapi apa yang bisa dicapai dan hikmah apa yang bisa dipetik dari suatu kejadian.
Apabila teman Anda sukses, rasakan dan rayakan sukses seolah-olah itu sukses Anda yang akan datang. Setiap kali menghadiri acara perayaan sukses siapapun, jangan cuma berpikir orang tersebut beruntung, tapi yang beruntung adalah Anda, karena bisa turut merasakannya sekarang, dan mewujudkannya nanti.
Hadirilah pameran perumahan, pameran mobil, pameran teknologi, berbahagialah karena Anda diberi kesempatan untuk mencobanya dan bervisualisasi.
Orang kaya semakin kaya, orang miskin semakin miskin, orang yang sedang-sedang saja juga akan terus hidup seperti itu bilamana tidak merubah cara pandangannya. Bila kekayaan yang Anda inginkan, pakailah pola pemikiran orang kaya. Gunakan visualisasi 'The Secret to Riches' sebagai penguat keinginan Anda.
Bahwa ada keinginan Anda yang belum terwujud, bukan karena tidak dikabulkan, tapi karena Anda belum siap menerimanya, kita belum satu frekuensi dengan keinginan kita. Ada tindakan yang harus kita lakukan agar suatu keingingan cepat terwujud.
Bila kita sudah mempunyai tujuan yang akan dicapai, ide-ide akan datang sendiri di saat yang tidak kita sangka, biasanya saat-saat santai, untuk itu sebaiknya kita punya catatan kecil ide-ide. Bahwa Jack Canfield menemukan ide buku 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' di saat mandi, adalah sama seperti saat Newton menemukan Hukum Gravitasi saat duduk di bawah pohon apel, Einstein memikirkan Teori Relativitas saat sedang beristirahat karena demam, Archimedes berteriak Eureka menemukan ide saat sedang mandi juga.
Dalam menjalankan Hukum Ketertarikan, kita dipandu oleh perasaan kita. Cetaklah tabel Sistem Panduan Perasaan, tempel dan pastikan bahwa perasaan kita senantiasa menuju level positif.
Buatlah papan visi, tempelkan semua keinginan Anda, baik itu rumah, mobil, kekayaan, di tempat yang selalu terlihat setiap harinya. Hal ini akan membantu Anda melepaskan sinyal yang terus menerus untuk mewujudkannya.
Jika kita tidak bisa atau sering lupa bersyukur, ambil sebuah batu, masukkan ke saku. Setiap kali menyentuh batu itu, ingatlah untuk bersyukur, berterimakasih atas apa yang sudah ada.
Berliburlah, jangan bebani hidup Anda dengan pekerjaan terus menerus, karena ide-ide cemerlang baru akan muncul saat-saat santai. Berwisatalah, carilah cara pandang baru.
Bangun tidur, mulailah hari baru Anda dengan kebahagiaan, bilamana perlu, downloadlah 'The Secret to You' ke handphone atau burn ke CD, visualisasikan setiap hari untuk hari yang indah dan Anda akan bisa mencapai segalanya.
Alam semesta menyukai kecepatan, kalau diberi kesempatan, jangan ragu-ragu, jangan ditunda, segeralah bertindak, maka keinginan Anda akan semakin cepat terwujud.
Apa gunanya menonton berita kriminalitas dan membaca berita kriminalitas, sori saja, tidak ada gunanya, Anda bahkan tidak mendapat apa-apa ketika menbawa berita ini kepada teman-teman Anda. Semakin banyak kriminal yang dibaca, semakin banyak beritanya, semakin banyak kejadiannya. Kriminalitas menarik kriminalitas. Untuk menjaga pikiran positif Anda, tidak perlu membaca berita atau menonton berita kriminalitas, lebih baik mengisi waktu Anda dengan bacaan/tontonan pengembangan diri.
Bila Anda tidak suka kejahatan, promosikanlah kebaikan! Bila Anda tidak suka kemiskinan, carilah kekayaan, selalu ambil tindakan ke arah yang positif atas semua keadaan di dunia.
Bila Anda ingin cepat belajar The Secret, tontonlah The Secret dengan teman atau kerabat atau rekan Anda. Anda tidak akan menyadari bahwa begitu banyak ide dari setiap orang yang dikenalkan dengan The Secret dapat membantu hidup Anda menjadi lebih bahagia dan sukses. Anda akan sangat bersyukur bilamana banyak orang yang bisa Anda bantu mencapai kehidupan yang diinginkan!

In Love with...

You feel like heaven to touch, I wanna hold you so much.

Every day's a new day in love with you with each day comes a new way of loving you.

 Open up your heart and let the sun shine in. Let me sing for ever more. You are all I long for all I worship and adore.

You could be my unintended choice to live my life extended you should be the one Ill always love.

 Every way's a new way, every time I love ya. Every day's a new day, oh, how I love ya.

The sight of you makes me weak. There are no words left to speak.

 You’re just like an angel, your skin makes me cry, and you float like a feather in a beautiful world.

 Whatever makes you happy whatever you want you're so very special, I wish I was special.

 You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you. Fly me to the moon let me sing among those stars and let me see what spring is like.

 On Jupiter and Mars. Oh, I love you more today than yesterday but not as much as tomorrow. But I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo.

What the hell am I doing here? I don’t belong here. But if you feel like I feel, please let me know that it's real.

 In other words, please be true. In other words, I love you

I f we don't make history We'll become history
