“When we ascend the thrones of the world, such financial expediencies, not being in accord with our interest, will be definitely eliminated.”
That is the opening note. It is another version of the statement—“You may well understand that such a policy, although inspired by us, cannot be followed by us.”
What, then, did the Protocolists, looking for world power, propose to eliminate?
(1) “The stock exchanges will be permanently suppressed, for we will not allow the prestige of our authority to be shaken by price fluctuations on our stocks. We will fix the full value legally without permitting any power to raise or lower it. Raising prices gives the pretext for lowering them—which was what we started with the stocks and bonds of the Gentiles.”
(2) “The lawful confiscation of money in order to regulate its circulation.”
(3) “We must introduce a unit of exchange based on the value of labor units regardless of whether paper or wood are used as the medium. We will issue money to meet the normal demands of every subject (citizen), adding a total sum for every birth and decreasing the total amount for every death.”
(4) “Commercial paper will be bought by the government, which, instead of paying tribute on loans as at present, will grant loans on a business basis. A measure of this character will prevent the stagnation of money, parasitism and laziness, qualities which were useful to us as long as the Gentiles maintained their independence, but which are not desirable to us when our kingdom comes.”
