Have you read "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" commissioned by Czar Nicholas II? I have not yet, but I've heard about it. Wiki articles claims it is fraudulent, but that's the first I ever heard.

Yes, I've read it and am 100% convinced it's not fraudulent. It's like a roadmap - of what's happened, what's happening currently and what is intended. It originated in Russia. Someone got hold of a copy and printed copies. It was banned. Copies were seized, and I've read compelling arguments about its authenticity. But it's the document itself which convinces me its true.

I sit on the fence with this one, because in a sense it is authentic, as a piece of propaganda, and as a reflection of the motives of a small group of individuals. But since it was produced and disseminated by another group, to make the others look bad, means that as a 'document' of 'truth', or a reflection of the 'true' socio-economic situation, it is fundamentally flawed. Certainly though, if you take away the partisanship, you can apply the 'philosophy' or mission statement to any number of cartels, but in practice at the time, the Jewish financiers were backing the anti-Tzarists and so much of the Protocols, while twisted for purpose, does at least have some basis in truth.

The document is accurate - pretty much 100%. That is the evidence in itself. It's that simple as far as I am concerned.

Ask yourself why such an elite group would write down their secret plans so that you could read them.

And you came to that conclusion after reading what Henry Makow PhD (in English Literature) has to say about it? Or do you have a less Christian fundamentalist set of findings? Otherwise, no fact about it, as other guy says, you can believe what you want, but that is not fact, that is faith, in Makow of all people too. Bless!

Whether you believe it or not is your choice, but the document is a forgery. It was shown to be a forgery in the 1920's and resurfaces as every new generation thinks that they have found something that was previously overlooked. Ask yourself why such an elite group would write down their secret plans so that you could read them.

Because they need a manifesto so newer generations can understand what the plan is

Yes, I actually am so gullible that I can't distinguish the message from the messenger, can't read a text and follow links, I can't think for myself, I have to have someone else tell me what to think, I do no research, so have no prior knowledge which might have a bearing on my evaluation of an article I'm reading, In fact, I can't even read, let alone write - I can't even use a computer. Haven't even got a brain cell. So thank goodness there's someone like you to point out where I'm going wrong.edit on 12-12-2010 by wcitizen because: (no reason given)
