The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion

The Protocols Of  The Learned Elders Of Zion were a forgery according to this account in the Wikipedia, a Jewish owned and controlled propaganda operation. It gives an historical view which sounds plausible. Others feel that they are a forgery and very much on the right lines. All 24 of them are listed at the bottom.

It was translated into English by Victor Marsden, a journalist and sound sort of chap.

Goyim are mentally inferior to Jews and can't run their nations properly [ Look at the mess Zionist crazies are making of Israel - Editor ]. For their sake and ours, we need to abolish their governments and replace them with a single government. This will take a long time and involve much bloodshed, but it's for a good cause. Here's what we'll need to do:

* Place our agents and helpers everywhere

* Take control of the media and use it in propaganda for our plans

* Start fights between different races, classes and religions

* Use bribery, threats and blackmail to get our way

* Use Freemasonic Lodges to attract potential public officials

* Appeal to successful people's egos

* Appoint puppet leaders who can be controlled by blackmail

* Replace royal rule with socialist rule, then communism, then
despotism

* Abolish all rights and freedoms, except the right of force by us

* Sacrifice people (including Jews sometimes) when necessary

* Eliminate religion; replace it with science and materialism

* Control the education system to spread deception and destroy
intellect

* Rewrite history to our benefit

* Create entertaining distractions

* Corrupt minds with filth and perversion

* Encourage people to spy on one another

* Keep the masses in poverty and perpetual labor

* Take possession of all wealth, property and (especially) gold

* Use gold to manipulate the markets, cause depressions etc.

* Introduce a progressive tax on wealth

* Replace sound investment with speculation

* Make long-term interest-bearing loans to governments

* Give bad advice to governments and everyone else

Eventually the Goyim will be so angry with their governments (because we'll blame them for the resulting mess) that they'll gladly have us take over. We will then appoint a descendant of David to be king of the world, and the remaining Goyim will bow down and sing his praises. Everyone will live in peace and obedient order under his glorious rule.

 

The Implementation of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion
Yes, they are being implemented but the Wiki is not going to tell you that. It is part of the problem.

Structure and themes
The twenty-four Protocols are posited as instructions to a new Elder, outlining how the group will control the world. The Elders want to trick all "gentile nations", whom they call "goyim", into doing their will. Their preferred methods include:

Protocol	Theme
1	Alcoholism, Annihilation of the privileges of the non-Jewish aristocracy, among other topics.
2, 9, 12	The propagation of ideas of all possible complexions with the task of undermining established forms of order, including Darwinism, Marxism, Nietzsche-ism, Liberalism, Socialism, Communism, Anarchism, and Utopianism
4	Materialism
5	World government
7	World wars
10	Staging catastrophes against one's own people, then claiming a moral high ground for leverage
11	Universal suffrage
11, 12, 17	Curtailment of civil liberties with the excuse of defeating the enemies of peace
13	Creating the impression of the existence of freedom of press, freedom of speech, democracy and human rights, all of which are subsequently undermined and become mere illusions or deceptive smokescreens behind which actual oppression lies
14	Distractions
14, 17	Pornographic literature
16	The destruction of Christianity, other religions and cultures, followed by a transitional stage of atheism, followed finally by the hegemony of Judaism
20	Brainwashing
21	Economic depressions
22	Undermining financial systems by foreign loans, creating national bankruptcy, destroying Money Markets and replacing them with government credit institutions
23	Justification of previous acts of evil and expectation of a great new society
24	Reduction of the manufacture of articles of luxury, destruction of large manufacturers, prohibition of alcohol and hashish, unleashing forces of violence under the mask of principles of freedom, only to have the 'King of the Jews' demolish those very forces to make him appear a saviour
25	Training of the king, direct heirs, irreproachability of exterior morality of the King of the Jews

Control of the media and finance would replace the traditional sources of social order with one based on mass manipulation and state engineered propaganda, where powerful elites and institutions conspire to conceal unpalatable truths from the masses. In these respects, the Protocols draws on long-standing criticisms of modernity, radicalism and capitalism, but presents them as part of an orchestrated plot, rather than as a product of impersonal historical processes.

The Protocols As A Forgery
This writer fingers Pyotr Ivanovich Rachovsky as the forger. He does not believe that Jews are dangerous, vicious infiltrators. Agree with him or not. The choice is yours.
QUOTE
The forgery
The document is a forgery, made by Russian secret police agent Pytor Ivanovich Rachovsky, claiming that a secret Jewish network was plotting to take over the world. It was first printed in 1897 and made public in 1905.

Rachovsky had copied it from a nineteenth century novel by German author Hermann Goedsche (Biarritz, 1868), who was an anti-Semite and wrote under the pseudonym ‘Sir John Retcliffe’. Goedsche had in turn stolen the main story from Maurice Joly, whose Dialogues in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu (1864) were aimed at Napoleon III.

The Protocols was used widely to justify the Pogroms [anti-Jewish riots in Tzarist Russia.] The Nazis used it to push forward the Holocaust. Today it is employed by Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists to justify race hate. It is one of the most popular books in Arabic in the Muslim world and was recently turned into a mini series on Egyptian television. The Malaysian president publicly repeated the Protocols paranoia to the applause of world Muslim leaders. No wonder the "Arab street" cannot even contemplate a peaceful settlement with Israel.

Mr Gibson just might have changed his view since the Jews carried out the Gaza Massacre. He says further:-
QUOTE
Indeed, if Katsoulis’ broader study of an important subject has an overarching weakness, it is that she consistently over-emphasizes the psychological portraiture of hoaxers, while downplaying the cultural context in which their fakes find such special resonance before, and often after, the debunking is done....... Such is the nature of belief. When a story fills a void, there will always be an audience and truth be damned. If a bristly Russian reactionary hadn’t penned The Protocols of Zion, another fabrication would have come forth to sate the demons in time.

They want to believe so they believe. Simple, straightforward and open to abuse.
