| The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is a despicable forgery, written by the Czar's secret police. It purports to be the record of a meeting of Jewish sages planning to take complete control of the world. The Protocols first saw the light of day around the turn of the Twentieth century. There is evidence that it was based,in part, on earlier an work published in France.
Revolution was in the air at that time. The Czarist authorities hoped to stir up anti-Semitic sentiment among the Russian people in order to give them something other than the Czar to focus their hate on. It did not ultimately save the Russian monarchy, but it did stir up hatred of Jews - it still does, worldwide. The Protocols, along with the Talmud, is often cited by anti-Semites, bigots and those around the world, trying to stir up trouble, as proof of Jewish perfidy. The work is widely distributed in Muslim nations, especially the Arab states. In the 1920's Henry Ford published the Protocols, in serial form, in his newspaper The Dearborn Independent. In the United States it was hoped, as many European Jews were involved in both Socialist movements and with the Bolsheviks in Russia, that publishing the Protocols would help to promote the idea that collectivist ideas would be seen as an alien, Jewish doctrine, thus inoculating the population. The image above right is the cover of an edition of the Protocols published recently in Egypt. A serialized drama, Knight Without A Horse, concerning the Protocols was aired on Egyptian television in 2002 For more detailed information concerning the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion and the Egyptian television series click here. |
