INTRODUCTION.
The author of this translation of the
famous Protocols was himself a victim of the Revolution. He had lived
for many years in Russia and was married to a Russian lady. Among his
other activities in Russia he had been for a number of years a
Russian Correspondent of the MORNING POST, a position which he
occupied when the Revolution broke out, and his vivid descriptions of
events in Russia will still be in the recollection of many of the
readers of that Journal. Naturally he was singled out for the anger
of the Soviet.
On the day that Captain Cromie was
murdered by Jews, Victor Marsden was arrested and thrown into the
Peter-Paul Prison, expecting every day to have his name called out
for execution. This, however, he escaped, and eventually he was
allowed to return to England very much of a wreck in bodily health.
However, he recovered under treatment and the devoted care of his
wife and friends. One of the first things he undertook, as soon as he
was able, was this translation of the Protocols.
Mr. Marsden was eminently well
qualified for the work. His intimate acquaintance with Russia,
Russian life and the Russian language on the one hand, and his
mastery of a terse literary English style on the other, placed him in
a position of advantage which few others could claim. The consequence
is that we have in his version an eminently readable work, and though
the subject-matter is somewhat formless, Mr. Marsden's literary touch
reveals the thread running through the twenty-four Protocols. It may
be said with truth that this work was carried out at the cost of Mr.
Marsden's own life's blood.
He told the writer of this Preface
that he could not stand more than an hour at a time of his work on it
in the British Museum, as the diabolical spirit of the matter which
he was obliged to turn into English made him positively ill.
May this work be his crowning
monument! In it he has performed an immense service to the
English-speaking world, and there can be little doubt that it will
take its place in the first rank of the English versions of "THE
PROTOCOLS of the Meetings of the LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION."
Of the Protocols themselves little
need be said in the way of introduction. The book in which they are
embodied was published by Sergyei Nilus in Russia in 1905. A copy of
this is in the British Museum bearing the date of its reception,
August 10, 1906. All copies that were known to exist in Russia were
destroyed in the Kerensky regime, and under his successors the
possession of a copy by anyone in Soviet land was a crime sufficient
to ensure the owner's of being shot on sight. The fact is in itself
sufficient proof of the genuineness of the Protocols. The Jewish
journals, of course, say that they are a forgery, leaving it to be
understood that Professor Nilus, who embodied them in a work of his
own, had concocted them for his own purposes.
Mr. Henry Ford, in an interview
published in the New York WORLD, February 17th, 1921, put the case
for Nilus tersely and convincingly thus: "The only statement I care
to make about the PROTOCOLS is that they fit in with what is going
on. They are sixteen years old, and they have fitted the world
situation up to this time. THEY FIT IT NOW." Indeed they do!
The word "Protocol" signifies a
precis gummed on to the front of a document, a draft of a document,
minutes of proceedings. In this instance, "Protocol" means minutes of
the proceedings of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of Zion. These
Protocols give the substance of addresses delivered to the innermost
circle of the Rulers of Zion. They reveal the converted plan of
action of the Jewish Nation developed through the ages and edited by
the Elders themselves up to date. Parts and summaries of the plan
have been published from time to time during the centuries as the
secrets of the Elders have leaked out.
The claim of the Jews that the
Protocols are forgeries is in itself an admission of their
genuineness, for they NEVER ATTEMPT TO ANSWER THE FACTS corresponding
to the THREATS which the Protocols contain, and, indeed, the
correspondence between prophecy and fulfillment is too glaring to be
set aside or obscured. This the Jews well know and therefore
evade.
The presumption is strong that the
Protocols were issued, or reissued, at the First Zionist Congress
held at Basle in 1897 under the presidency of the Father of Modern
Zionism, the late Theodore Herzl. There has been recently published a
volume of Herzl's "Diaries," a translation of some passages which
appeared in the JEWISH CHRONICLE of July 14, 1922.
Herzl gives an account of his first
visit to England in 1895, and his conversation with Colonel Goldsmid,
a Jew brought up as a Christian, an officer in the English Army, and
at heart a Jew Nationalist all the time. Goldsmid suggested to Herzl
that the best way of expropriating the English aristocracy, and so
destroying their power to protect the people of England against Jew
domination, was to put excessive taxes on the land. Herzl thought
this an excellent idea, and it is now to be found definitely embodied
in Protocol VI!
The above extract from Herzl's DIARY
is an extremely significant bit of evidence bearing on the existence
of the Jew World Plot and authenticity of the Protocols, but any
reader of intelligence will be able from his own knowledge of recent
history and from his own experience to confirm the genuineness of
every line of them, and it is in the light of this LIVING comment
that all readers are invited to study Mr. Marsden's translation of
this terribly inhuman document. And here is another very significant
circumstance.
The present successor of Herzl, as
leader of the Zionist movement, Dr. Weizmann, quoted one of these
sayings at the send-off banquet given to Chief Rabbi Hertz on October
6, 1920. The Chief Rabbi was on the point of leaving for HIS Empire
tour of H.R.H., the Prince of Wales. And this is the "saying" of the
Sages which Dr. Weizmann quoted: "A beneficent protection which God
has instituted in the life of the Jew is that He has dispersed him
all over the world." (JEWISH GUARDIAN, Oct. 8, 1920.) Now compare
this with the last clause of but one of Protocol XI. "God has granted
to us, His Chosen People, the gift of dispersion, and from this,
which appears to all eyes to be our weakness, has come forth all our
strength, which has now brought us to the threshold of sovereignty
over all the world."
The remarkable correspondence between
these passages proves several things. It proves that the Learned
Elders exist. It proves that Dr. Weizmann knows all about them. It
proves that the desire for a "National Home" in Palestine is only
camouflage and an infinitesimal part of the Jew's real object. It
proves that the Jews of the world have no intention of settling in
Palestine or any separate country, and that their annual prayer that
they may all meet "Next Year in Jerusalem" is merely a piece of their
characteristic make-believe. It also demonstrates that the Jews are
now a world menace, and that the Aryan races will have to domicile
them permanently out of Europe..
WHO ARE THE ELDERS?
This is a secret which has
not been revealed. They are the Hidden hand. They are not the "Board
of Deputies" (the Jewish Parliament in England) or the "Universal
Israelite Alliance" which sits in Paris. But the late Walter Rathenau
of the Allgemeiner Electricitaets Gesellschaft has thrown a little
light on the subject and doubtless he was in possession of their
names, being, in all likelihood, one of the chief leaders himself.
Writing in the WIENER FREIE PRESSE, December 24, 1912, he said:"Three
hundred men, each of whom knows all the others, govern the
fate of the European continent, and they elect their successors from
their entourage."
In the year 1844, on the eve of the
Jewish Revolution of 1848, Benjamin Disraeli, whose real name was
Israel, and who was a "damped," or baptized Jew, published his novel,
CONINGSBY, in which occurs this ominous passage: "The world is
governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those
who are not behind the scenes." And he went on to show that these
personages were all Jews.
Now that Providence has brought to
the light of day these secret Protocols all men may clearly see the
hidden personages specified by Disraeli at work "behind the scenes"
of all the Governments. This revelation entails on all white peoples
the grave responsibility of examining and revising AU FOND their
attitude towards the Race and Nation which boasts of its survival
over all Empires.
Notes I. - "Agentur" and
"The Political." There are two words in this translation which are
unusual, the word "AGENTUR" and "political" used as a substantive,
AGENTUR appears to be a word adopted from the original and it means
the whole body of agents and agencies made use of by the Elders,
whether members of the tribe or their Gentile tools. By "the
Political" Mr. Marsden means, not exactly the "body politic" but the
entire machinery of politics.
Notes II - The Symbolic
Snake of Judaism. Protocol III opens with a reference to the Symbolic
Snake of Judaism. In his Epilogue to the 1905 Edition of the
Protocols, Nilus gives the following interesting account of this
symbol: "According to the records of secret Jewish Zionism, Solomon
and other Jewish learned men already, in 929 B.C., thought out a
scheme in theory for a peaceful conquest of the whole universe by
Zion.
As history developed, this scheme was
worked out in detail and completed by men who were subsequently
initiated in this question. These learned men decided by peaceful
means to conquer the world for Zion with the slyness of the Symbolic
Snake, whose head was to represent those who have been initiated into
the plans of the Jewish administration, and the body of the Snake to
represent the Jewish people - the administration was always kept
secret, EVEN FROM THE JEWISH NATION ITSELF. As this Snake penetrated
into the hearts of the nations which it encountered it undermined and
devoured all the non-Jewish power of these States.
It is foretold that the Snake has
still to finish its work, strictly adhering to the designed plan,
until the course which it has to run is closed by the return of its
head to Zion and until, by this means, the Snake has completed its
round of Europe and has encircled it - and until, by dint of
enchaining Europe, it has encompassed the whole world. This it is to
accomplish by using every endeavor to subdue the other countries by
an ECONOMICAL CONQUEST.
The return of the head of the Snake
to Zion can only be accomplished after the power of all the Sovereign
of Europe has been laid low, that is to say, when by means of
economic crises and wholesale destruction effected everywhere, there
shall have been brought about a spiritual demoralization and a moral
corruption, chiefly with the assistance of Jewish women masquerading
as French, Italians, etc.. These are the surest spreaders of
licentiousness into the lives of the leading men at the heads of
nations.
A map of the course of the Symbolic
Snake is shown as follows: - Its first stage in Europe was in 429
B.C. in Greece, where, about the time of Pericles, the Snake first
started eating into the power of that country. The second stage was
in Rome in the time of Augustus, about 69 B.C.. The third in Madrid
in the time of Charles V, in A.D. 1552. The fourth in Paris about
1790, in the time of Louis XVI. The fifth in London from 1814 onwards
(after the downfall of Napoleon). The sixth in Berlin in 1871 after
the Franco-Prussian war. The seventh in St. Petersburg, over which is
drawn the head of the Snake under the date of 1881. [This "Snake" is
now being drawn through the Americas and in the United States of
America, it is been partially identified as the "Counsel on Foreign
Relations" (C.F.R.) and the "Tri-Lateral Commission"].
All these States which the Snake
traversed have had the foundations of their constitutions shaken,
Germany, with its apparent power, forming no exception to the rule.
In economic conditions, England and Germany are spared, but only till
the conquest of Russia is accomplished by the Snake, on which at
present [i.e., 1905] all its efforts are concentrated. The further
course of the Snake is not shown on this map, but arrows indicate its
next movement towards Moscow, Kieft and Odessa. It is now well known
to us to what extent the latter cities form the centuries of the
militant Jewish race. Constantinople is shown as the last stage of
the Snake's course before it reaches Jerusalem. (This map was drawn
years before the occurrence of the "Young Turk" - i.e., Jewish -
Revolution in Turkey). den.
Notes III. - The term
"Goyim," meaning Gentile or non-Jews, is used throughout the
Protocols and is retained by Mr. Mars.
