One thing that really gets the Jews into a tizzy is the
Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, a manuscript which lays out a takeover plan of the entire planet, the end goal being rule by a Jewish king. It is odd that the Jews get so upset about this book, since it is clear they don't control much of anything, and are among the most honest, open minded, forthcoming, friendly, charitable, and humanitarian of creatures what ever walked upon the planet God made.
In response to this crisis of such a monumentally delusional product such as the Protocols, which appears to occasionally take hold of the devastated minds of anti-semites, the
Freemasons launched a defense of the impoverished Jews, hoping to get the ruthless hordes of zombie anti-semites to mind their business, just like the Jews do. Didn't Jesus say don't cast stones at wolves, or something? Remember,
as the blessed Talmud says, the Jews are the apple of God's eye, and even Jesus says always look out for them, while
He boils in nasty discharges in Hell.
Interestingly, the Masons, who are in
no way connected to the munificent Jews, often publish materials concerned with anti-semites, sometimes claiming that
anti-semites often extend their hatred to the benevolent Masons for reasons the
best scientists can not yet ascertain, but probably having to do with the
low IQ of racist white people. This is in opposition to the stupendous genius of the average Zionist. In fact, to even mention Freemasons, unless you are a Freemason, is generally proof of a medical condition requiring
monthly visits to a Jewish doctor.
Here is the published defense of the Jews and Freemasons, as put out by the Grand Lodge of British Columbia and Yukon:
History of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion

Freemasonry was linked to the Protocols by Sergei Aleksandrovich Nilus (1862-1929) when he included the Protocols as an appendix to the 1905 second edition of his 1901 autobiography, The Great in the Small: Antichrist considered as an imminent political possibility
(Sergiev Posad, 1905). In the 1905 edition of his book, Nilus claimed
that the meetings of the Elders of Zion referred to in the Protocols took place in 1902-03. He later claimed to have acquired the Protocols in 1901.
In the introduction to the 1911 edition of his book, Nilus says:
|
In 1901, I succeeded through an acquaintance of mine
(the late Court Marshal Alexei Nocolayevitch Sukotin of Tchernigov) in
getting a manuscript that exposed with unusual perfection and clarity
the course and development of the secret Jewish Freemasonic conspiracy,
which would bring this wicked world to its inevitable end. The person
who gave me this manuscript guaranteed it to be a faithful translation
of the original documents that were stolen by a woman from one of the
highest and most influential leaders of the Freemasons at a secret
meeting somewhere in France—the beloved nest of Freemasonic conspiracy. [Morris Kominsky The Hoaxers 1970. p. 209.]

Nilus further contradicts himself as to his sources in his 1917 edition. He asserts that the Protocols
were presented at the first Zionist Congress at Basel, Switzerland in
1897 in "Circular 18", contradicting his original claims to their
history. This congress was open to the public and was attended by a
number of Christian clergy, political figures and reporters. The
existence of "Circular 18" has not been documented. Nilus may have been
as much a victim of the fraud as any, but there is no record that he
ever renounced the Protocols, and Armand du Chayla records Nilus' belief that the source of the text was unimportant.

The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, perhaps the most widely known work of modern antisemitism,
is based on judeophobic beliefs of mediaeval Europe. Accusations that
the Jews used blood of Christian children for the Feast of Passover,
spread the plague and poisoned wells incited the destruction of Jewish
communities throughout Europe. Other stories were circulated of secret
rabbinical conferences whose aim was to subjugate and exterminate the
Christians.
The conceptual inspiration for the Protocols can be traced back to the French Revolution period when the Abbé Augustin Barruel
(1741/10/02 - 1820/10/05) published four books in 1797, the last two
blaming the revolution on a conspiracy operating through the freemasons
and Illuminati.
Barruel’s ideas were unsupportable. Before the revolution the lodges
had been made up mostly of the nobility and landed gentry. By the time
Napoleon declared the revolution over, most of the lodges had closed and
many of their members were either dead or in exile. Barruel had not
blamed the Jews in these books. However in 1806 Barruel circulated a
forged letter — probably sent to him by members of the state police
opposed to Napoleon Bonaparte’s
liberal policy toward the Jews — calling attention to the alleged part
of the Jews in the conspiracy he had earlier attributed to the
freemasons. This myth of an international Jewish conspiracy reappeared
later in nineteenth century Europe. 1
The literary predecessor of the Protocols can be found in the pamphlet Dialogues in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu,
published by the non-Jewish French satirist Maurice Joly (1829 ['21,
'31]-1878) in 1864, although it appears that Joly plagiarized Eugène
Sue’s 1843 serialized novel, Les Mysteres de Paris. In Sue’s work, the plotters were Jesuits.
In his Dialogues, which make no mention of the Jews, Joly
attacked the political ambitions of the emperor Napoleon III using the
imagery of a diabolical plot in Hell. The Dialogues were
discovered by the French authorities soon after their publication and
Joly was tried and sentenced to prison for his pamphlet.2
Joly’s Dialogues, while intended as a political satire and
defence of liberalism, was adopted by a German postal clerk and a spy
for the Prussian secret police, Hermann Goedsche (1815-1878), writing
under the name of Sir John Retcliffe. He had been forced to leave the
postal service due to his part in forging evidence in the prosecution
against the Democratic leader Benedict Waldeck in 1849. Goedsche adapted
Joly’s Dialogues into a mythical tale of a Jewish conspiracy as part of a series of novels entitled Biarritz, which appeared in 1868. In a chapter called The Jewish Cemetery in Prague and the Council of Representatives of the Twelve Tribes of Israel,
he concocts a secret centennial rabbinical conference which meets at
midnight and whose purpose is to review the past hundred years and to
make plans for the next century.
Goedsche’s plagiary of Joly’s Dialogues soon found its way to Russia. It was translated into Russian in 1872, and a consolidation of the Council of representatives under the name The Rabbi’s Speech
appeared in Russian in 1891. These works no doubt furnished the
Okhrana, the Russian secret police, with a means with which to
strengthen the position of the weak tsar Nicholas II and discredit the
reforms of the liberals who sympathized with the Jews. During the
Dreyfus afffair of 1893-1895, Matvei Vasilyevich Golovinski (Mathieu
Golovinski) (1865-1920), working for the Okhrana in Paris redacted the
earlier works of Joly and Goedsche into a new edition in 1890 or 1891,
which he called the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. The manuscript of the Protocols was brought to Russia in 1895 and was printed privately in pamphlet form in 1897.3
The Protocols did not gain a wide audience until 1905, when
Russia’s defeat in the Russo-Japanese war was followed by the revolution
in the same year, leading to the promulgation of a constitution and
institution of the Duma. In the wake of these events, the reactionary
"Union of the Russian Nation", or Black Hundreds organization, sought to
incite popular feeling against the Jews, who they blamed for the
Revolution and the constitution. To this end they used the Protocols, which was first published in a public edition by the self-styled mystic, Sergius Nilus, in 1905. The Protocols, published in the newspaper Znamia
in 1905 and 1906, were part of a propaganda campaign which accompanied
the Okhrana incited pogroms of 1905. A variant text of the Protocols
was published by George V. Butmi in 1906 and again in 1907. The edition
of 1906 was found among the tsar’s collection, even though he had
already recognized the work as a forgery. In his later editions, Nilus
claimed that the Protocols had been read secretly at the First
Zionist Congress at Basle in 1897, while Butmi, in his edition, wrote
that they had no connection with the new Zionist movement, but rather
were part of the masonic conspiracy.
In the civil war following the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, the reactionary White Armies made extensive use of the Protocols to incite widespread slaughters of Jews. At the same time, Russian emigrants brought the Protocols
to western Europe, where the Nilus edition served as the basis for many
translations, starting in 1920. Just after its appearance in London in
1920, Lucien Wolf exposed the Protocols as a plagiary of the earlier work of Joly and Goedsche, in a pamphlet of the Jewish Board of Deputies.4 The following year, on 16, 17 and 18 August 1921, the story of the forgery was published in a series of articles in the Times of London by Philip Graves, the paper’s correspondent in Constantinople.5 A book documenting the forgery was published the same year in the United States by Herman Bernstein. Nevertheless, the Protocols continued to circulate widely. They were even sponsored by Henry Ford
in the United States until 1927, and formed an important part of the
Nazis' justification of genocide of the Jews in World War II.
In 1933 a suit was brought for libel and distributing "Schunliteratur"
(smut literature) against Georg Bernard Haller, editor-in-chief of the
Nazi-oriented Confederates of the Oath (Eidgenossen) and its publisher Theodor Fischer. Also named were Theodor Fritsch and Gottfried zur Beek, who died before the trial began.
The trial began in Berne on 29 October 1934, the plaintiffs being the
Schweizerischer
Israelitischer Gemeindebund (SIG), assisted by Prof. Hans Matti, and the
local "Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Bern, assisted by Georges
Brunschvig. On 31 October the trial was adjourned until the end of April
1935. On 14 May 1935 the Cantonal Court of Berne declared the Protocols
to be forgeries, plagiarisms, and libelous. In November 1937 the Court
of Appeals overturned the earlier judgement on formal grounds but
confirmed the previous findings that the Protocols were a fabrication.
Rabbi Dr. Marcus Ehrenpreis gave testimony as a witness in a similar
trial in Basel, the plaintiffs in this case being Dr. J. Dreyfus-Brodsky
and Dr. Marcus Cohen; in a similar case in Grahamstown, South Africa in
August 1934 the Court imposed fines totalling £1,775 ($4,500) on three
men for concocting a modern version of the Protocols.6
A curious sidelight to the promotion of the Protocols is given by
William Guy Carr (1895-1959) whose undocumented research purports to
prove they "are the Long rang Plan of the Illuminati which was explained
by Amschel Rothschild to his associates in Frankfort in 1773." [Pawns In The Game.
Los Angeles, St. George Press: 1958. p. 157.] Carr may have taken his
lead from the introduction to Victor E. Marsden’s English translation
where he writes under the heading "A Fifteenth Century "Protocol": "Here
is one from the Fifteenth Century which Jews can hardly pronounce a
forgery, seeing that it is taken from a Rothschild journal." This
appears at the bottom of page 7 but when the reader turns to page 8,
there is a new headline and an unrelated topic.
In the USA, the Protocols was republished in Milton William Cooper’s Behold a Pale Horse. (1943/05/06 - 2001/11/06) Between August and
November of 2002, the New Jersey based Arabic-language newspaper The Arab Voice published excerpts from the Protocols.
In attempting to justify reprinting this hoax, editor and publisher
Walid Rabah noted that "some major writers in the Arab nation accept the
truth of the book."
