(5) “We will replace stock exchanges by great government credit institutions, whose functions will be to tax trade paper according to government regulations. These institutions will be in such a position that they may market or buy as many as half a billion industrial shares a day.” (The reader will bear in mind that “police spies” of agricultural Russia “forged this document” in 1896. As a gentleman remarked: If this is the forgery, what must the original have been!—Ed.) “Thus all industrial undertakings will become dependent on us. You may well imagine what power that will give us.”
The Protocolist now being quoted also gives his attention to taxation (observe again the “Russian police spy” doing some “forging”). The builders of this plan for World Rule recognize that when the overturn comes they will have to be in a position to offer the people something extremely good in order to win their favor. This, of course, was the plan in Russia, although Russia presents no parallel to what the Protocolists hope to do for what they call their “kingdom.”
