Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Once again we welcome our brave and honest friend, Israel Shamir as guest contributor. An Israeli journalist based in Jaffa, his articles can be found on www.israelshamir.net. He is a Christian, though definitely not a Judaeo-Christian and his essay, "The Elders of Zion and the Masters of Discourse" should be carefully read along with the links, and matched with history, with current affairs, and with the Talmud.
In the Babylonian Talmud, Rabbi Baba Mezia wrote: "Jews are human beings; the other peoples of the world are but beasts." This deranged Judaic vision of world conquest is symbolized in the esoteric Hebrew mysticism of Kabbalah, and the Talmudic allegory of the World Serpent, girdling the globe with the head and the tail meeting in Jerusalem. In 1492, Chemor, Chief Rabbi of Spain received this advice from the Grand Sanhedrin (Elders of Zion) on how to deal with their threatened expulsion. The same ancient agenda is set forth in the Protocols and followed today by the elect:
'Beloved brethren in Moses, we have received your letter in which you tell us of the anxieties and misfortunes which you are enduring. We are pierced by as great a pain to hear it as yourselves.
The advice of the Grand Satraps and the Rabbis is the following:
- As for what you say that the king of Spain obliges you to become Christians: do it, since you cannot do otherwise.
- As for what you say about the command to despoil you of your property: make your sons merchants that they may despoil, little by little, the Christians of theirs.
- As for what you say about making attempts on your lives: make your sons doctors and apothecaries (pharmacists/chemists), that they may take away Christian's lives.
- As for what you say of their destroying your synagogues: make your sons canons and clerics in order that they may destroy their churches.
- As for the other vexations you complain of: arrange that your sons become advocates and lawyers, and see that they always mix in affairs of State, that by putting Christians under your yoke you may dominate the world and be avenged on them.
- Do not swerve from this order that we give you, because you will find by experience that, humiliated as you are, you will reach the actuality of power.
(Signed) Prince of the Jews of Constantinople' (Julio- Inigrez de Medrano - 'La Silva Curiosa' 1608 my emphasis).
The Homeland Security Act, its provisions for compulsory vaccination and indemnification of the pharmaceutical industry constitute such a license to kill. (See article).
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith and whosoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything presented here should be confirmed personally in your own Bible. . . Your brother-in-Christ, Anthony
Strategic Energy Policy Challenges for 21st Century
President Bush's Cabinet agreed in April 2001 that 'Iraq remains a destabilizing influence to the flow of oil to international markets from the Middle East': because this is an unacceptable risk to the US, 'military intervention' is necessary.
Vice-president Dick Cheney, who chairs the White House Energy Policy Development Group, commissioned a report on 'energy security' from the Baker Institute for Public Policy, a think-tank set up by James Baker, the former US secretary of state under George Bush Snr.
The report, Strategic Energy Policy Challenges For The 21st Century, concludes: 'The United States remains a prisoner of its energy dilemma. Iraq remains a de-stabilizing influence to . . . the flow of oil to international markets from the Middle East. Saddam Hussein has also demonstrated a willingness to threaten to use the oil weapon and to use his own export programme to manipulate oil markets. Therefore the US should conduct an immediate policy review toward Iraq including military, energy, economic and political/diplomatic assessments. Full story: sundayherald.com
Induction of Civic Insanity in the "Age of Pharaoh"
In a November communique attributed to "Osama bin Laden," President George W. Bush was referred to as "the Pharaoh of this Age." Of course we have no way of knowing if the communique (in the form of an audio-tape) actually comes from bin Laden, or rather from the stellar nether regions of the Cryptocracy's drawer 13. We content ourselves with analyzing the symbolism of the message itself and its intended effect on its target audience.
The signature symbolism of the western secret society known as Freemasonry is derived from the icons of ancient Egypt, for example, the pyramid and sphinx and the golden funeral mask of Tutankhamen. When Dr. Charles Eliot Norton of Harvard University analyzed the Great Seal of the United States and pronounced it "a dull emblem of a masonic fraternity," he was pointing out that one need not be a Harvard professor to grasp the blatant symbolism of the eye-over-the-pyramid icon most famously reproduced on the US one dollar currency. The image on the dollar bill is of an unfinished monument of the Pharaohs. When the top tier or caagsone of the monument is put into place by means of the panopticon surveillance system represented by the disembodied "All-Seeing" Eye at the top of the pyramid, Pharaoh's rule will have been reimposed upon the world.
The motto of the Pentagon's Information Awareness Office Surveillance System is "Scientia est Potentia" (knowledge is power) . . . in Latin in order to instil awe and . . . (dazzle the mob). The symbol of this new Pentagon agency is unmistakably Pharaoic, exceeding even the pyramid on the dollar bill in the boldness of its revelatory daring. The icon of the Information Awareness Office is an adaptation of the familiar All-Seeing Eye atop the pyramid, rays from the Eye are shown irradiating the earth's western hemisphere. the geographic domain of Anubis, the dog-headed deity of Egypt's astronomic state religion. Among Biblically-literate people, "Pharaoh" has been a synonym for rule characterized by chattel slavery and tyranny. "Osama" bin Laden and his al-Qaeda network are said by the White House, the Establishment press and their Papal and Protestant partners in crime, to be Satanic and opposed to God and the Bible. Yet the communique attributed to bin Laden this month makes a Biblical identification of George W. Bush, as "the Pharaoh of the Age." . . .
While it may not take a Harvard professor to recognize that this symbol is thoroughly inimical to the God of the Bible and Christianity, the symbolic import of the Pentagon's new icon, will indeed be consciously lost (though subconsciously registered) on the masses of Judeo-Christians herded by their pulpit-pounding crypto-rabbis into the delusion that George W. Bush is the paladin of Christendom and goodness, and the Islamic resistance the paradigm of deviltry and darkness.
The Pentagon is on record boasting of the stealth, deception and psychological warfare it uses on its enemies. If one considers the possibility, in the wake of government atrocities such as Ruby Ridge and Waco, that the US government regards the American people themselves as a potential enemy, in that they pose at least a distant threat of resistance and revolt, one might reasonably consider the likelihood that some form of psychological warfare is being directed at us by "our own" government.
The recognition of the existence of this induced civic insanity and its arcane provenance, is the key to understanding why the American people cheer their own executioners . . . by crusading for a war on terror that is pursued with state terror.

'Saddam is the New Hitler' -- Bush Tells Europeans
"Today the world faces a single man armed with weapons of mass destruction, manifesting an aggressive, bullying attitude, who may well plunge the world into chaos and bloodshed if he miscalculates. This person, belligerent, arrogant and sure of himself, truly is the most dangerous person on Earth. The problem is that his name is George W. Bush, and he is our president." (Jack Balkin, Knight Professor of Constitutional Law and the First Amendment at Yale Law School, September 22, 2002).
Prague, November 21, 2002 -- US President, George Bush, has reminded Europeans of the heavy price they have paid for appeasing dictators and challenged NATO members to join him in confronting Saddam Hussein and fighting terrorism beyond Europe. . .
He demanded that Saddam "declare completely and truthfully his arsenal of terror" and threatened serious consequences if he failed to meet the December 8 deadline to disclose his weapons of mass destruction. . .
Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter's national security adviser, who is in Prague, said Mr. Bush might want to temper his remarks on present threat levels.
"Terrorism is a very serious menace; nonetheless, as of now it is still not as grave a threat as a US-Soviet war would have been. We were talking about 180 million fatalities in a nuclear exchange." Full story: smh.com.au
No One is Safe from America's 'Killer President'
November 11, 2002 -- The Senate's passage of the ludicrously misnamed Homeland Security bill is easily the biggest bad joke in American history, because in declaring war on all peoples of the world " including its own citizens " it presages a new Dark Age in world history, one in which the United States may annihilate any other country for any reason it concocts, or for no reason at all. The bill is ludicrously misnamed because nothing in this nation's history has ever jeopardized its citizens' security to this degree.
Most tragic of all, however, is the complete destruction of that beacon of hope for the whole world for two centuries, the US Constitution. Completely gone are the right to a fair trial, the right to be safe in one's home, the right to confront one's accuser, the right to legal representation and the right to be recognized as innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Now, America simply kills mere suspects from the air with unmanned planes, or throws them into jail without possibility of trial, arbitrarily decreed guilty by biased political functionaries and executed with no chance to prove one's innocence. And Attorney General John Ashcroft plans further incursions into America's privacy by placing new restrictions on Internet and phone communications. . . Congress, as it has been for many years, is now merely window-dressing for the criminal charades of the dictator, which is exactly what happened to the Roman republic all those long years ago.
Congress has approved the mass killing of many American citizens by passing the Homeland Security. . . A minor provision in the legislation gives absolute authority to non-medical administrative personnel to mandate dangerous, untested vaccinations on all American citizens . . . the legislation provides for arrest (and possible confiscation of property) of those refusing to accept "legally" ordered vaccinations.
"It's not much of a stretch to see how the threat of smallpox is a marketing tool, right out of classic Bernays Public Relations 101, that is being used to justify paying vaccine manufacturers $800 million for a vaccine that is unproven, untested, and contraindicated for 90% of the population . . . In addition, it's well known in history that smallpox vaccinations in 19th century England caused cases of smallpox to skyrocket, from around 2,000 before vaccinations started to around 80,000 afterwards, which is why most European countries stopped vaccinating then and still don't to this day. . . the only source of death from smallpox in the US for 30 years was from the vaccine itself. (Mendelsohn, p 232, World Book, 1994).
Comment: Read the complete article. One subscriber wrote: "The problem here is that "terrorism" as we have so far seen it, and the "war on terrorism" are politically driven activities secretly created by entities within the federal apparatus for the purpose of preparing the public for war. There has been no terrorism convincingly pinned on those assigned by the producers of this melodrama to play the role of the terrorist, and no one is better placed than those working for the FBI to see this charade for what it is. There must be many agents whose scepticism translates into lack of enthusiasm for pursuing terrorists instinct tells them do not exist."

Bush Aide: Inspections or Not, We'll Attack Iraq
November 22, 2002 -- George Bush's top security adviser last night admitted the US would attack Iraq even if UN inspectors fail to find weapons.
Dr Richard Perle stunned MPs by insisting a "clean bill of health" from UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix would not halt America's war machine. Evidence from ONE witness on Saddam Hussein's weapons programme will be enough to trigger a fresh military onslaught, he told an all-party meeting on global security.

Chinese Paratroopers in California?
Looking at recent headlines, however, we ought to wonder if invasion preparations have not been underway in plain view. Russia and China have recently conducted joint military exercises in the Pacific. In April Russian bombers tested Alaska's air defenses. It must be recognized that Russia's missile-power and China's unlimited manpower have been joined into one clenched fist. This represents the fulfilment of KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn's least-credited prediction about the end of the "Final Phase" of Russia's long range deception strategy. Writing in his 1984 book, "New Lies for Old," Golitsyn explained:
Before long, the communist strategists might be persuaded that the balance has swung irreversibly in their favor. In that event they might well decide on a Sino-Soviet `reconciliation.' The scissors strategy would give way to the strategy of `one clenched fist.' At that point the shift in the political and military balance would be plain for all to see.
The plan for a joint military campaign against America, waged by Russia and China, was drawn up many years ago, and was explained in 1999 by the highest ranking defector of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Russian General Staff, Col. Stanislav Lunev (a Chinese-speaking Russian military officer who worked in China during the 1980s). Based on his own experiences, Lunev suspects that the Russians and Chinese were secretly allied before the collapse of the Soviet Union. Regarding the existence of a joint Russian-Chinese war plan, Lunev stated that prior to his 1992 defection, the Russian General Staff was still committed to fighting and winning a future nuclear war against America. "The nuclear war plan is still on," he was told. But there would be changes. No longer would Russian troops be responsible for a follow-up invasion of the lower 48 states. Russian forces would be responsible for occupying "Alaska and parts of Canada." The Chinese would occupy the lower 48 states. In addition, certain Third World countries would be given "looting rights". . .
Col. Lunev emphasized three points in his 1999 revelation about Russia's plan for World War III. First, it is the union of Russian missile power with the Chinese foot soldier that offers a war-winning military combination. Second, America cannot resist this combination because the Russian missiles, in destroying the infrastructure needed to support highly modernized military forces, pave the way for the ascendancy of numerically superior but poorly supplied Chinese divisions. Third, by using port facilities in the Western Hemisphere the Chinese are presently preparing the logistical bases needed to support an invasion of the lower 48 states. . . As the main target of Russian-Chinese military strategy, the United States would have to be invaded and occupied for final victory (as foretold by Brother Branham in 1954).
"According to the London Telegraph and other major news sources, Communist China has sent at least 700,000 troops to Sudan, (Northeast Africa), supposedly to protect oil cartel interests. The Telegraph report said the Chinese are preparing for an offensive military campaign from the South of Sudan.
"At the same time, the Red Chinese have also taken advantage of their takeover of the Panama Canal and have already shipped in 1.2 million elite soldiers. According to a high level ex-government official, the Red Chinese combat troops are comprised of 75% Air Borne, with the remainder Special Forces and Navy Seals. Part of the agreement to allow the Chinese to 'police' the canal zone, also gave them the use of an island in Panamanian waters to garrison troops.
. . . Border patrol officers in southern California said they were amazed to see what appeared to be Chinese soldiers in camouflage and non-English speaking whites shooting at them -- some from sniper positions just across the border (Spotlight, November 20/27, December 4, 2000, Strategic Jungle November 4, 2000).
We have written about an Illuminist plan to so eliminate national sovereignty that today's nations have been replaced by military patrol areas. In 1952, in London, the Illuminati sponsored a meeting to re-draw the world into military regions after the One-World Government had been established. . . . These worldwide forces would be commanded by a World Director, who would have an organization of 8 zone directors and 51 regional directors. No regional director would ever be responsible for his own country, and no military troops would ever be stationed within his own country. [This information taken from the National Economic Council of New York City, 1962]
American troops were assigned to six (6) areas of the world, including Yugoslavia, Greece, Albania, Romania, and Bulgaria -- the Balkans Region [NOTE: Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, and Macedonia were originally part of Yugoslavia.] This territory was assigned the number 55. Now, you know that the "little" war in Bosnia, Serbia, and Herzegovina was a ruse to get Americans on the ground in that part of the world to which they had been assigned in 1952.
. . . America was to be divided into five (5) areas, with Los Angeles down to the Panama Canal being part of another military patrol area, a sixth area. See map.
- Northeast -- Colombian and Venezuelan troops.
- Southern America all the way to California -- Russian troops. The line begins at Virginia and goes straight West to the border of California.
- Midwest -- Belgian troops
- Northwest, including California -- Irish troops
- Canada -- Mongolian [Chinese] and Russian troops
- Mexico -- Mongolian [Chinese] troops. I find it highly interesting that the Mexico portion over which the Chinese are to exercise control includes San Diego, California! In fact, this area might extend all the way to Los Angeles.

The Elders of Zion and the Masters of Discourse
by Israel Shamir
The troublesome concept of the Hidden Hand or the Elders of Zion is superfluous and unnecessary.
"The latest controversy to involve the Arab World concerns the film "A Rider without a Horse" that started airing on Wednesday, Nov. 5th, the first day of the holy month of Ramadan on several Arab satellite channels. The source of the controversy is that the program is partly based on "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion," the old forgery originating in Tsarist Russia", writes Qais S. Saleh, a business consultant from Ramallah on the excellent website CounterPunch[1]. Expectably, Saleh condemns the broadcast and warns the Palestinians and Arabs to stay away from the bad old wolf of anti-Semitism, or, as he put it, "the trend of importation of anti-Semitic bigotry".
Saleh's view coincides with that of Michael Hoffman, on whose site the Protocols can be found. Hoffman thinks Arabs have no need to import anti-Semitic arguments from the old and far-away sources, provided they have a fresh round-the-clock local source: actual behaviour of the Jewish state and its Jewish citizens. It is much more convincing than old tales.
However, the Protocols are still with us and still entertain minds. Recently, the leading Italian novelist and thinker Umberto Eco contributed his opinion on the subject to the Guardian[2]. Eco "explains" the popular feelings towards the Jews: "They engaged in trade and lent money -- hence the resentment towards them as "intellectuals". In my limited knowledge, it is not the intellectuals who lend money, but the bankers and loan sharks, while true intellectuals find their behaviour repulsive. Probably Eco has a different definition of 'intellectual' up his sleeve. "The ill-famed Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion were a rehash of serialised fictional material, and prove their own unreliability, since it is hardly credible that "the baddies" would reveal their fell purposes so blatantly" -- concludes Eco.
One can forgive a business consultant from Ramallah, but Umberto Eco could notice that his definition would fit some other books, for instance, Gargantua and Pantagruel, an even older forgery, pretending to be a real chronicle of the Giants family, and built on 'serialised fictional material'. Don Quixote, Pickwick's Club, 1984 of Orwell -- all these books "pretend" to describe real events to the same extent. They are 'forgeries', as they are ascribed to somebody else: Don Quixote to Sid Ahmed Benengeli[3], and Gargantua to Maitre Alcofribas Nasier[4].
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion are best described as 'pseudo-epigrapha', rather than 'fake'. They belong to the same category as Tomas Friedman's Letter of President Clinton to Mubarak. After all, pseudo-epigraphic genre is an old and venerable one. It is even better to consider the Protocols, 'a political pamphlet'.
In this essay, we shall attempt to find out why the Protocols refuse to lie down and die. We shall stay clear of the usual question, "who wrote it". Its real author remains unknown, and it is difficult to imagine this person, for the Protocols are a literary palimpsest. In the days of yore, a scribe would write his composition on a piece of old parchment, previously removing an older text. The erasure was rarely total, and a reader was treated to an integrated version of the Golden Ass and Fioretti of St Francis. In the Protocols, there are layers of old and even older stories, and it precludes a meaningful quest for the ultimate creator. Every text should be treated on its own merits, disregarding the question of authorship. Although, Jorge Luis Borges wrote that the author is an important part of a text. Indeed, if we would know the Protocols contain the real blueprint of some Jewish elites, we would have our answer ready in minutes. But the Protocols were published in the end of the 19th-beginning of the 20th century "as found", as apocrypha. They became a great bestseller and still stay there, though in some countries (notably the Soviet Union), mere possession of the text was punishable by death.
The Anonymous author of the Protocols describes a master-plan for vast restructuring of society, creation of a new oligarchy and the subjugation of millions. The final product is not too different from the one described in a contemporary piece of writing, The Iron Heel by Jack London, the great radical from Oakland, California. However, London expected harsh cracking down, while Anonym's way to subjugation leads through Machiavellian manipulations and mind control a la Orwell's 1984. (Orwell's homage to the Protocols is even more striking as it is rarely noticed).
The difficulty of the Protocols is in an uncanny dissonance between its uncouth language and deep social and religious thought. "It is a rude parody-like rendering of a satanic, subtle and well-thought out plan," wrote the Nobel Prize winning novelist Alexander Solzhenitsyn[5] in his analysis of the Protocols (written in 1966 and published in 2001).
"The Protocols show a blueprint of a social system. Its design is well above the abilities of an ordinary mind, including that of its publisher. It is a dynamic process of two stages, of destabilization, increasing freedom and liberalism, which is terminated in social cataclysm, and on the second stage, a new hierarchical restructuring of society takes place. It is more complicated than a nuclear bomb. It could be a stolen and distorted plan designed by a mind of genius. Its putrid style of an anti-Semitic grubby brochure [intentionally] obscures the great strength of thought and insight".
Solzhenitsyn is aware of faults of the Protocols. "Its style is that of a filthy leaflet, the powerful line of thought is broken and fragmented, mixed up with ill-smelling incantations and psychological blunders. The system described is not necessarily connected with the Jews; it could be purely Masonic or whatever; while its strongly anti-Semitic current is not an organic part of the design".
Solzhenitsyn makes a textual experiment, removes words "Jews", "Goyim" and "conspiracy" and finds many disturbing ideas. He concludes: "The text demonstrates impressive foresight on the two systems of society, the Western and the Soviet one. While a strong thinker could possibly predict the development of the West in 1901, how could he grasp the Soviet future?"
Solzhenitsyn braved the Soviet regime, dared to write and publish the mammoth Gulag Archipelago, an indictment of the Soviet repression, but even he stalled and did not publish his research of the Protocols. He asked it to be published after his death only, and it was printed against his will in a very small number of copies in 2001. Let us follow Solzhenitsyn's line of thought and gaze into the crystal ball of the Protocols, while temporarily discounting its "Jewish line" and paying heed to the idea of creating a new system, not necessarily a Jewish-dominated one.
The master-plan begins with reshaping of human mind:
"People's minds should be diverted (away from contemplation) towards industry and trade, and then they will have no time to think. The people will be consumed by the pursuit of gain. It will be vain pursuit, for we shall put industry on a speculative basis: what is withdrawn from the land by industry will slip through the hands of workers and industrialists and pass into the hands of financiers.
The intensified struggle for survival and superiority, accompanied by crises and shocks will create cold and heartless communities with strong aversion towards religion. Their only guide is gain that is Mammon, which they will erect into a veritable cult".
The foresight of Anonym is amazing: in the days of the Protocols' publication, Man was still the measure of things, and a full eighty years would pass, until Milton Friedman and the Chicago School would proclaim Market and Profit as the only guiding light.
The tool for enslavement of minds is the media, writes Anonym. "There is a great force that creates the movement of thought in the people, and that is the media. It is in the media that the triumph of freedom of speech finds its incarnation. Through the Press we have gained the power to influence minds while remaining unobserved. We shall erase from the memory of men the historical facts we do not want them to know, and leave only those we wish".
Years will pass since this publication, until a small group of people who control our discourse while remaining unobserved, the media lords, would rise. The free discussion of the media barons, Berlusconi and Black, Maxwell and Sulzberger, Gusinsky and Zuckerman is banned from the media they own, while their cooperative affinity remains impressive. The freedom of discourse survives wherever independent (from media barons) media still exists. One Hundred years ago, this force was much weaker than it is now, and it is amazing the Anonym recognised its potential.
A century before the rise of World Bank and IMF, the Protocols noticed that foreign loans are the best tools to rob countries of their wealth. "While the loans were internal, money remained in the land, but with externalisation of loans, all nations pay tribute of their subjects to the oligarchy". Indeed, the bigger the loans poor countries get, the poorer they become.
Concentration of capital in the hands of financiers, concentration of media in few hands, extra-judicial killings of unyielding leaders, and the stock market with its derivatives sucks out wealth, and it accumulates in the hands of the priesthood of Mammon, gain (or "market forces") is the only measure of successful strategy. Yes, the interest in the Protocols does not disappear because the described plan of creating oligarchic (not necessarily Jewish) rule is being implemented in real time and it is called the New World Order.
Sometimes, the Protocols are described as an extreme-right-wing anti-utopian piece of writing. However, it spans both left and right-wing discourse. A right-wing writer would bless strengthening of Law and Order, but the following prediction of Anonym could be written today by a leftist libertarian, say, Noam Chomsky, witnessing the present transition to the New World Order: "The race of armaments and the increase of police forces will bring forth a society where, besides ourselves, there are only the masses of the proletariat, a few millionaires devoted to our cause, police and soldiers".
However, the deepest thought of Anonym remains in the spiritual sphere: "Freedom might be harmless and have its place in the State economy without injury to the well-being of the people if it rested upon the foundation of faith in God, upon the Brotherhood of humanity. This is the reason why it is indispensable for us to undermine all faith, to tear out of the people's mind the very principle of God and the Spirit, and to put in its place arithmetical calculations and material needs".
Anonym connects the Faith and the idea of Brotherhood of humanity. Undermining of the Faith ruins the Brotherhood. Freedom, instead of a desirable and beautiful state of mind, turns into a destructive drive when unhinged from the Faith. Instead of Faith, the Enemy offers pursuit of Mammon.
While reading in today's (16.11.02) IH Tribune philippics against gay priests and nuns, one notes the following lines in the Protocols: "We have taken care to discredit the Christian priesthood and ruin their mission which might still hinder our plans. Day by day, their influence on the people is falling lower. The collapse of Christianity is nigh".
We witness implementation of this plan: religion is removed from consideration, neo-liberalism or Mammon worship takes its place, while with disestablishment of socialism, this brave attempt of a non-faith-based brotherhood collapsed, leaving an ideological vacuum.
This observation caused some reviewers to exclaim, "The true designer of the Master-plan is our old foe, the Prince of the World, whose ultimate aim is elimination of Divine Presence and ruination of Man". True, but the Prince of the World can't act directly. He needs free agents that choose to accept his plan. These chief agents and possible allies, according to the pamphlet, are financial capitalists and Masters of Discourse, 'the Mind'.
They promote to the highest positions "politicians who, in case of disobedience to our instructions, must face criminal charges or disappear. We shall arrange elections in favour of candidates with some dark, undiscovered stain in their past. They will be our trustworthy agents out of fear of revelations" For us, contemporaries of Watergate and Lewinsky, it sounds familiar.
The shift from Stage One (liberalism and freedom) to Stage Two (tyranny) took place in our lifetime. If in 1968 the NY Times promoted the Freedom Riders, in 2002 it supports the Patriot Act. An important American lawyer, Alan Dershowitz of Harvard made a U-turn from Human rights to Right to torture. This U-turn was predicted by the Protocols, as the purpose beyond the struggle against the old elites.
"The aristocracy enjoyed the labour of the workers, and it was interested in seeing that the workers were well fed, healthy, and strong. The people have annihilated the aristocracy, and have fallen into the grips of merciless money-grinding scoundrels".
In less emotional terms, the new bourgeoisie removed the old elites with support of people, while promising freedom and objecting to their privilege. After its victory, it took the privilege to itself, and turned out to be as bad (or worse) as the feudal lord. Marx referred to this complaint of aristocracy in one of the numerous additions to the Communist Manifesto, and considered it futile if partly justified. However, he did not live to witness a similar process which took place in the last days of the Soviet Union. The rising new bourgeoisie took control over the discourse, convinced people to fight the privilege of Nomenclature for the sake of equality and freedom, and after their victory, it assumed and multiplied the privilege, and rejected equality and freedom.
The Protocols predict rise of New Bourgeoisie, globalist Mammon-worshippers, who are inherently hostile to Old Elites, to spirit, to religion, to the ordinary people. For a long while, they were the engine of the left, democracy-seeking movements, until their purpose was completed, and then they made the U-turn towards oligarchy.
This U-turn can be quantified by the inheritance and land tax rate in England: while the financial bourgeoisie and Masters of Discourse fought against the old ruling classes, the rates were high and eventually dismantled their power base; after their victory, the rate decreased allowing consolidation of the new ruling classes. It is possible that the Old Order had had some advantages. It is almost certain that a transition from the Old Order could be different if the people would understand the intentions of the enemy. But history can't be reversed, and it is quite futile to dream of return of the good lords and benevolent Party bosses.
Thus, the Protocols (purified of references to the Jews and conspiracies) are useful as they describe a blueprint of the New World Order, and help its adversaries to form a defensive strategy against the designs of the Enemy. But the references to the Jews constitute large and important part of the text.
The Jews and the Protocols
The Protocols identify the moving force of the New World Order with a powerful group of extremely chauvinist, manipulative and domination-obsessed Jewish leaders. The leaders, according to the Protocols, despise ordinary community members; they utilise and support anti-Semitism as the means to keep their "lesser brethren", innocent ordinary folk of Jewish origin, in thrall to their rule. The leaders are described as pathological goy haters, bent on destroying culture and traditions of other nations while preserving their own. Their goal is to create world government and rule the homogenised and globalised world.
Their aims and intentions are stated in an extremely contrarian and obnoxious way. Solzhenitsyn concluded that no sane person would deliver his favourite ideas in such a self-demeaning and self-defeating way. "We extract gold from their blood and tears", "our power is based on workers' hunger", "revolutionaries are our human tools", "brutish minds of Goyim" are, in his opinion, words ascribed to the Jews by their enemies. A Jew would rather put such ideas in an oblique way, he felt.
It is not a water-tight argument. Some people speak in an oblique way, others prefer a direct one. An Armenian from the Azeri capital, Baku, told me in long gone 1988, "The Azeris are our cattle, without our Armenian mind their country would collapse in the course of days, as they are silly donkeys". (A few months later, an explosion of native violence expelled the clever Armenians from Azerbaijan, and since then the Azeris manage their own land quite all right). David Ben Gurion, the first ruler of the Jewish state, coined an equally arrogant maxim: "Who cares what Goyim say? What matters is what the Jews do!" This sentence is an almost direct quote from the Protocols.
The Protocols ascribe to the Elders a saying, "Each Jewish victim is worth in the sight of God a thousand goyim". This line, a pinnacle of arrogance, is not a vain invention of an anti-Semite. Two ministers of Sharon's government, Uri Landau and Ivet Lieberman demanded to kill one thousand Palestinian goyim for each Jewish victim. A Jewish extremist at a demo for the Jewish Temple Mount (18.11.02) called each Jew to kill one thousand Palestinian goyim. Apparently, some ideas of the Protocols are not foreign to some Jews.
The late Israeli scholar Israel Shahak and an American Jewish writer Norton Mezvinsky present in their Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel[6] a plethora of sayings by Jewish Rabbis that wouldn't be out of place in the Protocols. " The difference between a Jewish soul and souls of non-Jews is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the souls of cattle" (p. ix). Shahak and Mezvinsky proved the rage of the Jewish chauvinists does not differentiate between Palestinians, Arabs and Goyim in general. In other words, whatever happened to Palestinians could happen to any Gentile community standing on the way of the Jews.
Indeed, if the Protocols would have no relation to reality, they probably wouldn't be as popular as they are. The Jews are sufficiently powerful to dream of domination, and some do. Apparently some Jewish ideas found their way into the text. Other thoughts are ascribed to the Jews on the basis of " qui bono".
The least acceptable idea of the Protocols is the presumption of an extremely ancient conspiracy of the Jews aiming to take over the world. The extreme philo-Semitic view denies the Jews their ability to act together and presents them as separate individuals united by prayer only. This view is not accepted by the Jews, and it does not agree with common sense.
Solzhenitsyn does not believe in the existence of the Elders of Zion, though "the togetherness and coordination of Jewish activity for the sake of their advancement caused many writers (beginning with Cicero) to imagine there is a single commanding centre to direct their attacks". "Without such a world centre, without conspiring, the Jews understand each other and are able to coordinate their actions".
The Jews are perfectly able to coordinate their actions, but I doubt human beings, Jews or English, Russians or Chinese are able to form long-standing plans spanning centuries and continents. Nobody was able to prove such a plot exists. Usually, 'anti-Semites' (the people who doubt or deny inherent benevolence of the Jews to Gentile society) argue for its authenticity as Henry Ford did. The car king said[7]: "the only statement I care to make about the Protocols is that they fit in with what is going on." Indeed they do, exclaims Victor Marsden, the English translator of the Protocols.
However, it is not proof of a Jewish plot. We can reach similar results rejecting the conspiracy line altogether, by applying the concept of self-interest to the real Jewish community as it was aptly described by Shahak-Mezvinsky. We shall prove that the troublesome concept of the Hidden Hand or the Elders of Zion is superfluous and unnecessary.
The traditional Jewish community had the structure of an "upturned pyramid", in words of Zionist theoreticians: it contained many persons of wealth, learning and management, and very few workers. It appears an odd thing, until one understands that the Zionists artificially view the Jews in divorce of the society they live in. The Jewish 'upturned pyramid' couldn't exist without a real down-turned pyramid of Gentile low classes. The Jews compete with the native elites of Gentile society for the right to exploit the Gentile worker and peasant. The modus operandi of the two competitors differs. While the native elites shared some values with their lower classes and usually provided for some upward mobility, the Jewish community had its own structure and values.
Economically it stood for capitalist or quasi-capitalist exploitation of the natives, while ideologically the community declared loyalty to its leaders, rejection of common humanity with the natives, extreme ethnocentrism, feeling of racial and religious superiority towards the natives. It was a marginal community, forming no bonds of marriage and friendship with the natives. As a marginal community, it was free of long-standing considerations the native elites had had.
For instance, the Jewish community of 17th century Ukraine has been a collective tax-farmer and leaseholder, extracting from the natives six times more taxes and dues per person than a Gentile landlord did, wrote prominent Jewish Ukrainian historian Saul Borovoy in a book recently published in Jerusalem. The Jewish communities of Maghreb supported the colonial power against their Gentile neighbours, etc. Their traditions forbade normal relations with the natives.
Let us presume that such a community acts in its egoistic interests. Forget conspiracy; forget the Elders of Zion, learned or otherwise. The community's only aim is to promote its own well-being. For a marginal group it means to make the social gap between its members and the native population as broad as possible, while minimising the potential backlash.
The group would naturally, for its self-interest, support every movement against native elites, whether initiated by the King (as the Jews did before the French Revolution) or by the rebelling low classes. It would not be done for the Jewish love of democracy or rebellious nature, but for improvement of their own positions. Ideal situations would be created by massacre or expulsion of the native elites, as the group members would be able to appropriate their positions. Indeed, it happened in Soviet Russia and Soviet Hungary in the aftermath of World War One. Massacre and exile of the native elites made the positions of power and influence available to the competing Jews.
Self-interest explains the Jewish involvement with the dreaded Cheka, the Soviet security services. Until 1937, the Jews occupied the top echelon of the KGB predecessor body, while millions of Russians lost their lives or liberty. Objectively, these executioners made jobs and houses available for their fellow Jews. After the massacre and exile of Russian elites, the Jews were ready for equality, as a son of a Rabbi could easily compete with a son of Russian worker or peasant, though he wouldn't be able to compete with a son of Russian noble.
In a similar way, the Jews in Israel granted limited equality to the Palestinians in 1966, after confiscation of 90% of native lands and expulsion of 90% of natives. Now, the settlers promise to extend equality to the rest of the Palestinians, after they have expelled the majority of them elsewhere. In the light of great Jewish support for Israel, there is no reason to presume that the Jewish modus operandi in Palestine is intrinsically different from the Jewish intentions abroad.
Solzhenitsyn writes: "Executed (during the revolution) army officers were Russians, the noblemen, priests, monks, deputies were Russians. In 1920s, the pre-revolutionary engineers and scientists were exiled or killed. They were Russians, while their place was taken by Jews. The best Russian Psychiatric institute in Moscow, its Russian members were arrested or exiled, while their place was taken by the Jews. Important Jewish doctors blocked the advancement of Russian medical scientists. The best intellectual and artistic elites of Russian people were killed, while the Jews grew and flourished in these (deadly for Russians) years".
The new Jewish elite did not fully identify with Russia but carried out a separate policy. It had a fateful effect in 1991, when over 50% of Jews (as opposed to 13% of Russians) supported the pro-Western coup of (Jewish) President Yeltsin. In 1995, 81% of Jews voted for pro-Western parties, and only 3% for the Communists (as opposed to 46% of Russians), according to the publication by the Jewish sociologist Dr Ryvkina in her book Jews in Post-Soviet Russia (1996).
In ever-expanding America, the Jews did not have to kill or remove the native elites; they became its important part, controlling discourse and wielding considerable financial clout. They still do not identify with the goyish America: every year, they force the Congress and the Administration to send five billion dollars to their Israeli offshoot and now try to let America fight their war in Iraq. They do discriminate other Americans, otherwise 60% of the leading positions in the media would not be Jewish[8].
Jews of France do not identify with France, either. "Their identification with Israel is so strong; it overshadows their ties to the country they live in" -- writes Daniel Ben Simon in Haaretz.-- "This dual loyalty was made very clear to me by a Jewish doctor in Nice. 'If the choice is between Israel and France, there's no question I feel closer to Israel' he said, without a moment's hesitation. He was born and bred in France; he went to medical school in France; his patients are French; he speaks French with his wife and children. But in the depths of his heart, he feels a greater affinity with the Jewish state".
In Palestine, the Jews have no compassion for the natives. They travel by segregated roads, study in segregated schools, while a Jew consumes ten times more water resources than a goy, and has seven times higher income. Thus, the Jewish separateness remains a fact of life for many Jewish communities.
For their own well-being the Jews have to obscure their unique position, wealth and power by the following means:
- Holocaust discourse helps to fight envy.
- In a mono-ethnic society, the Jews as the only foreign body do stick out and attract attention, while in multicultural society they are hardly seen. For this purpose, the Jews support immigration from non-European countries, as their presence would remove the stamp of Jewish exclusiveness.
- The Political Correctness is another device forbidding the discussion of Jewish influence.
- Fight against Christianity and the Church makes sense for a non-Christian community: if the Church would be strong, the Christians would prefer their own, Christian elite.
- Globalisation is a natural development for the people spread all over the globe, if they attach but little importance to the local ways.
- Impoverishment of the natives is but another side of growing wealth of the Jewish community.
Summing it up, a big share (though not all) of the ideas ascribed to the Jews by the Protocols are indeed the ideas useful or necessary for the Jewish communal well-being, without any need for great hatred towards Gentiles and/or the guidance of mythical Elders of Zion. That is the reason of the Protocols' long life. Paradoxically, without Israeli apartheid these facts would remain invisible for the host communities.
