The Protocols

Cuando leíamos sobre Allen Dulles se señalaba que trató de hacer que estos Protocolos de los Ancianos de Zion sean declarados falsos. De ahí que nos preguntamos qué son estos Protocolos, qué se intentaba hacer con ellos. Ya desde el momento en que leemos que los usaban los Nazis para justificar sus horrores con los judíos es que sospechamos de ellos. Por lo que vamos a presentar algunos puntos de vista sobre Los Protocolos y dar nuestra opinión. De manera sencilla y didáctica.

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion es un documento que trata de culpar a los Judíos por una conspiración para adueñarse del mundo, atacando los valores cristianos y apoderándose de los medios de producción. Fue escrito a principios del siglo 20, en Rusia, y alcanzó mayor difusión con los refugiados de la revolución rusa, exiliados en Europa. En vocabulario: minutes, y scapegoating. Para saber: Antisemitic canards y Black Hundreds

It became a tool, a political weapon, used against the Bolsheviks…

… and continues to be presented by some proponents as a genuine document…

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a fabricated antisemitic text (Antisemitic canards) purporting to describe a Jewish plan for global domination. The hoax, which was shown to be plagiarized from several earlier sources, some not antisemitic in nature, was first published in Russia in 1903, translated into multiple languages, and disseminated internationally in the early part of the 20th century. According to the claims made by some of its publishers, the Protocols are the minutes of a late 19th-century meeting where Jewish leaders discussed their goal of global Jewish hegemony by subverting the morals of Gentiles, and by controlling the press and the world's economies.

Henry Ford funded printing of 500,000 copies that were distributed throughout the United States in the 1920s. The Nazis sometimes used the Protocols as propaganda against Jews, despite having been exposed as fraudulent by The Times of London in 1921. It is still widely available today in numerous languages, in print and on the Internet, and continues to be presented by some proponents as a genuine document.

The Protocols appeared in print in the Russian Empire as early as 1903, published as a series of articles in Znamya, a Black Hundreds newspaper owned by Pavel Krushevan.

These Russian language imprints were published and circulated in the Russian Empire during the 1903–06 periods as a tool for scapegoating Jews, blamed by the monarchists for the defeat in the Russo-Japanese War and the Revolution of 1905. Common to all texts is the idea that Jews aim for world domination. Since The Protocols are presented as merely a document, the front matter and back matter are needed to explain its alleged origin. The diverse imprints, however, are mutually inconsistent. The general claim is that the document was stolen from a secret Jewish organization.

As the Russian Revolution unfolded, causing White movement-affiliated Russians to flee to the West, this text was carried along and assumed a new purpose. Until then, The Protocols had remained obscure; it now became an instrument for blaming Jews for the Russian Revolution. It became a tool, a political weapon, used against the Bolsheviks who were depicted as overwhelmingly Jewish, allegedly executing the "plan" embodied in The Protocols. The purpose was to discredit the October Revolution, prevent the West from recognizing the Soviet Union, and bring about the downfall of Vladimir Lenin's regime.

Para saber

Antisemitic canards are unfounded rumors or false allegations that are defamatory toward Judaism as a religion, or defamatory toward Jews as an ethnic or religious group. Some antisemitic canards date back to the birth of Christianity, in particular an alleged Jewish responsibility for the death of Jesus.

The Black Hundred was an ultra-nationalist movement in Russia in the early 20th century. It was a staunch supporter of the House of Romanov and opposed any retreat from the autocracy of the reigning monarch. The Black Hundreds were also noted for extremism and incitement to pogroms, nationalistic Russocentric doctrines, different xenophobic beliefs, including anti-Ukrainian sentiment and anti-semitism.

Front matter comprises the first section of a book, and is usually the smallest section in terms of the number of pages. Front-matter pages are traditionally numbered in lower-case Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, iv, v, etc.).

Back matter, also known as end matter, if used, normally consists of one or more of the following components: Epilogue, Afterword, Conclusion, Glossary, Bibliography, among others.

The Bolsheviks were a far-left Marxist faction founded by Vladimir Lenin and Alexander Bogdanov.

Minutes are the instant written record of a meeting or hearing. They typically describe the events of the meeting and may include a list of attendees, a statement of the issues considered by the participants, and related responses or decisions for the issues.

Scapegoating is the practice of singling out a person or group for unmerited blame and consequent negative treatment.
