hitrost'ju i p.r.o.nyrlivost'ju vo vremja peregovorov i soglashenij, no v tom, chto nazyvaetsja oficial'nym jazykom", my budem derzhat'sja protivopolozhnoj taktiki i budem kazat'sja chestnymi i sgovorchivymi. Takim obrazom narody i pravitel'stva goev, kotoryh my priuchili smotret' tol'ko na pokaznuju storonu togo, chto my im predstavljaem, primut nas eshhe za blaG.o.detelej i spasitelej roda chelovecheskago.

Na kazhdoe protivodejstvie my dolzhny byt'

v sostojanii otvet.i.t' vojnoj s sosedjami toj strane, kotoraja osmelitsja nam protivodejstvovat', no, esli i sosedi eti zadumajut stat'

otpor vseobshhej vojnoj.

Glavnyj uspeh v politike zakljuchaetsja v tajne eja predprijatij: slovo ne dolzhno soglasovat'sja s dejstvijami diplomata.

K dejstvijam v pol'zu s.h.i.+roko zadumannago nami plana, uzhe blizjashhagosja k vozhdelennomu koncu, my dolzhny vynuzhdat' goevskija pravitel'stva jakoby obshhestvennym mneniem, vtajne podstroennym nami pri pomoshhi tak nazyvaemoj velikoj derzhavy"-pechati, kotoraja, za nemnogimi iskljuchenijami, s kotorymi schitat'sja ne stoit,-vsja uzhe v rukah nas.h.i.+h.

Odnim slovom, chtoby rezjumirovat' nashu sistemu obuzdanija goevskih pravitel'stv v Evrope my odnomu iz nih pokazhem svoju silu pokushenijami, t.e. terrorom, a vsem, esli dopust.i.t' ih vozstanie protiv nas', my otvetim Amerikanskimi ili Kitajskimi, ili j.a.ponskimi pushkami.

Sledujushhij protokol.

My dolzhny zaruchit'sja dlja sebja vsemi orudijami, kotorymi nas.h.i.+ protivniki mogli by vospol'zovat'sja protiv nas. My dolzhny budem vyiskivat' v samyh tonkih vyrazhenijah i zagvozdkah pravovogo slovarja opravdanija ]

"We have created a senseless, filthy and disgusting literature, especially in the so-called advanced countries. For a short time after our entrance into power we will not prohibit this literature, but will weed it out by means of destructive criticism, in order that, as a remnant of the Gentile ruins, there should be a stronger contrast between the literature that will come down from Our Height and that which emanated from the filthy mud of the Gentile governments."
