The Mammoth Book of Cover-Ups

«We shall saddle and bridle it [the press] with a tight curb.» (Protocol XII)

«In order that the goyim themselves may not guess what they are about, we further distract them with amusements, games, pastimes, passions …» (Protocol XIII)

«It will be undesirable for us that there should exist any other religion than ours … We must therefore sweep away all other form of belief.» (Protocol XIV)

The impact of the Protocols was immediate. They became a sensation in Russia, and after that the world. So taken was industrialist Henry Ford by the book that he printed sections in his Dearborn Independent, stating that the Protocols «have fitted the world situation up to this time». He also used them to influence the US Senate against joining the League of Nations. He might have done well to ponder his own maxim: History is Bunk. The Protocols

were a massive hoax and forgery.

The first to debunk the Protocols was Lucien Wolf, whose The Jewish Bogey and the Forged Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion (1920) proved that sections of the document had been lifted, with only cosmetic changes, from the 1855 satire Dialogue aux Enfers entre Montesquieu et Machiavelli («Dialogue in Hell between Montesquieu and Machiavelli») by the French lawyer Maurice Joly, who in turn was heavily influenced by Eugene Sue’s popular conspiracy novel The Mysteries of Paris (1843). Another important source for the Protocols was the 1868 novel Biarritz by Sir John Retcliffe (aka the German spy Hermann Goedsche), which included a chapter describing how a fictitious rabbinical cadre met in a cemetery at midnight every century to further the work of Jewish domination … oh, my.

So who was the forger who stitched the various sources together to make up the Protocols

? Probably one Matvei Golovinski, an agent for the Russian Tsarist secret police, the Okhrana. By whipping up a scare about revolutionaries in the pay of Jews seeking to bring down the Tsar, the Okhrana intended to justify the regime’s reactionary measures. The Protocols worked just fine: the 1905–06 pogroms against the Jews ensued. Just over a decade later, the «truth» of the Jewish plan outlined in the Protocols seemed confirmed by the 1917 Russian Revolution, some of whose leaders happened to be Jews.

In the febrile minds of far-right Europe, the Protocols now became indisputably real and revealing. When the Nazis seized power in Germany, Adolf Hitler made the Protocols mandatory reading in schools. He had written in his autobiography, Mein Kampf, «For once this book [i.e., the Protocols] has become the common property of a people, the Jewish danger is bound to be considered as broken.»

Despite — or indeed, because of — the role of the Protocols

in fanning the anti-Semitism that caused the Holocaust, they live on as «fact». In 2000 Egyptian TV made a series of programmes tracing the connection between the Protocols’ message and the creation of Israel. In the US, Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam distributes the Protocols. They are popular, too, in al-Qaeda training camps. Hamas refers positively to them. In fact, wherever anti-Semites gather you’ll find well-thumbed copies of the Protocols. That any of these organizations or their adherents could not discover within at most thirty seconds’ worth of research that the Protocols are, as a Swiss court described them as long ago as 1935, «ridiculous nonsense», forgeries and plagiarisms, beggars belief.

The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is the road-map for Jewish take-over of the world: ALERT LEVEL 0

DOCUMENT: EXTRACTS FROM THE PROTOCOLS 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].
