The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is the Bible for antisemites around the world. Allegedly, it describes a Jewish cabal's Evil Plan to Take Over the World in their own words — in short, the Trope Codifier for many an elaborate conspiracy theory today.In the 19th-early 20th century, sinister racist and antisemitic trends were on the rise, and many European countries have ideologically contributed to what would later become the greatest genocide of the 20th century. France contributed Arthur de Gobineau who was the pioneer of scientific racism. Britain contributed Houston Stewart Chamberlain who became "Hitler's John the Baptist" and was in his time praised by many intellectuals. And this book is Russia's contribution to the nightmare.First published in 1903, during the twilight years of Tsarist Russia, when antisemitism was at its height (pogroms and all that) and the House of Romanov looked like it was in trouble (it was), The Protocols are widely believed to be authored by the Okhrana, the Tsar's Secret Police — specifically, by Matvei Golovinski, journalist and Paris agent, on orders from then chief Pyotr Rachkovsky. The intended message boils down to, "All the problems in Russia are caused by the Jews, so don't blame the Tsar. Also, the Jews want you to overthrow the Tsar, so don't do that. In fact, the Tsar is the best thing to have happened to Russia since unification!" — granted, the Tsar was only mentioned sparingly and offhandedly, but the point still stands.In 1921, Philip Graves, an Irish reporter and Constantinople correspondent for The Times, asserted The Protocols to be a forgery, finding that much of it bore a distinct resemblance to The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu, an 1864 satire against Napoleon III, written by French lawyer and Bourbon royalist Maurice Joly, which nicely explains why The Protocols read as though they were meant for dissemination in 19th-century France. But if you think this stopped people from believing in The Protocols, then boy are you very naïve.The fall of the Romanovs and subsequent rise of the Soviets saw a mass exodus of White (anti-communist) Russians, many of whom brought copies of The Protocols with them, using them as tools of propaganda against the communist regime, believing it to be concocted by Jews (conveniently reinforced by the fact that both Leon Trotsky and his ideological forebear Karl Marx were of Jewish stock).In 1920, Henry Ford brought The Protocols to the United States, where he published some 500,000 copies. You probably know Henry Ford as "that car guy", but there was another side to him. When a reporter pointed out to him that The Protocols had been exposed as fake, Ford replied, "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 fit the world situation up to this time. They fit it now." Across the Atlantic, Ford's view was shared by Adolf Hitler, who would directly cite them in his autobiography, Mein Kampf. It's been said that The Protocols were Hitler's "warrant for genocide". Eventually Ford declared he'd made a colossal mistake in publishing The Protocols and later printed articles attacking it in The Dearborn Independent (the newspaper he owned).In the West today, The Protocols continue to be circulated among neo-Nazi groups. They also inspired The Turner Diaries, Hunter and other white nationalist works by William Luther Pierce, the founder and leader of the National Alliance. However, the book's biggest contemporary success has been in the Middle East. The Protocols were believed authentic by Muammar Gaddafi and Osama bin Laden. In 2002, Egyptian television aired Knight Without a Horse, a Mini Series based on The Protocols. Saudi Arabian textbooks describe The Protocols as a genuine historical document. And this is just scratching the surface.In 1993, a Russian court officially declared The Protocols to be an antisemitic forgery, the first time the book was denounced as such in its country of origin. But if you think this stopped people from believing in them, then you really haven't been paying attention.

comment
Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: The "goyim" (Gentiles or non-Jews, depending on your definition) are to be made stupid, gullible and immoral by encouraging excessive consumption of alcohol, while the Jews are to remain sober, allowing the Elders to more easily manipulate the resulting mass of idiots. (In real life, Jewish religious rituals and celebrations can include copious amounts of wine.)

comment
He Who Fights Monsters: Since the Protocols were forged by the Tsarist regime to demonize the Jews, yet they look favourably upon an authoritarian government and poorly upon democratic government; it would seem at least in part to be actually intended to indoctrinate the reader in the authoritarian ideology of their windmill 'enemy'. It is supposed to make the reader assimilate the Authoritarian ideology of the made up enemy by attempting to understand them so as to effectively oppose them.

The Man Behind the Man: The people will be guaranteed universal suffrage, but because public opinion is manipulated by the Elders, all this amounts to is their ability to appoint or depose the ruling regime and so control it. The ruler eventually becomes a Puppet King of the Elders through Work Off the Debt if he is not one already.

Sword of Damocles: Left-wing (communists, anarchists and socialists) and some right-wing (monarchists) forces are used in this manner. While clearly in no way supportive of their objectives at an ideological level, they can be used to destroy those who defy the Elders, and the fear of them can be used to assert control over elites.

Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Antisemitism is actually useful to the Elders because it helps them control the general Jewish populace (described in the letters as the "lesser brethren"), presumably because keeping them fearful and paranoid reinforces collective group identity against pressures, creating a need for strong leadership, which the Elders would provide.

Despotism Justifies the Means: The ends of creating a tyrannical state ruled by a self-declared master race (the alleged authors) justify the means used to achieve it.

The Revolution Will Not Be Bureaucratized
 The Protocols of the Elders of Zion / int_c5da23b
comment
The Revolution Will Not Be Bureaucratized: Commoners that rise to positions to power lack adequate education and experience (which, back in the 19th century at least, is only truly found in those raised from childhood to rule) to effectively rule and thus pose a threat to the Elders' plans.

comment
Strawman Political: Because the Windmill Political advocates authoritarian right-wing ideology yet declares left-wing democratic ideology useful to its goals and was forged by that kind of regime; the Okhrana were likely creating a strawman version of their own ideology in order to contest with their real position. By destroying this strawman the authors reinforce their own similar ideology, since it is perceived as opposing the things that are useful to the strawman version of that ideology.

One World Order: The Elders' ultimate goal, but only so long as it is their One World Order; otherwise they promote Divide and Conquer.

Anti-Role Model: Intended as such on meta level. The reader is supposed to learn which actions of the "goyim" allegedly pave the way for Jewish rule so that they can do the opposite.

Master Race: How the Jewish elders see their race, being divinely elevated into a refined and perfected form of humanity that is morally and intellectually superior. This gives them both the ability to prevail against the gentiles and makes their domination a 'good thing'.

Democracy Is Bad: Democracy is considered useful to the Elders' plans and promoted precisely because of its badness as a system, and because ideas of political freedom can be applied in order to overthrow defiant governments.
