WORLD CONQUEST 
   THROUGH WORLD GOVERNMENT

   The PROTOCOLS 
   of The LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION


         Translated from the Russian of Sergyei A. Nilus
                   by  VICTOR E. MARSDEN

        The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion has become a 
   best seller among political books published this century.
   
        Having been translated into every language since it was 
   first brought to light in 1919 and having reached over a million 
   sales in the English edition alone, this remarkable set of docu-
   ments is in greater demand than ever today.
   
        The years have shown that every great world event has fol-
   lowed the course laid down by the secret authors of this book.  
   Wars, slumps, revolutions, the rise in the cost of living and 
   chronic unrest are all foretold as leading to the ultimate goal 
   of World Conquest through the "back-door" means of first estab-
   lishing World Government "by consent."
   
        The thoughtful reader must reject the view, once held by 
   some people, that the Protocols originated as an imaginative work 
   of miraculous accuracy.  The only rational view seems to be that 
   the Protocols must be taken on their face value as a detailed 
   plan of action, aiming at nothing other than the goal they them-
   selves set forth.  This goal is a World State which the nations 
   are being urged by their leaders to accept as "the only alterna-
   tive to annihilation."  This is the choice which our politicians 
   are offering us today.
   
        The eighty-first impression of the Marsden translation was 
   presented under the new title World Conquest through World Gov-
   ernment because the publishers believed that the ultimate con-
   quest foretold in this terrible plan is nearing its final stages.

        Uncanny Note Of Prophecy
        "Whence come this uncanny note of prophecy, prophecy in part 
   fulfilled, in parts far gone in the way of fulfillment?  Have we 
   been struggling these tragic years to ... extirpate the secret 
   organization of German world dominion only to find underneath it, 
   another, more dangerous because more secret?  Have we ... escaped 
   a Pax Germanica only to fall into a Pax Judaeica?

        "Upon that much-vexed subject the authenticity of ...  The 
   Protocols of Zion we shall not enter, except to say that if the 
   document is a forgery, as alleged, then it is one of the most 
   remarkable in the history of literature."

        "Those who feel libeled by the Protocols have the most 
   obvious remedy in the world; all they have to do is to ruse and 
   denounce the policy of them, instead of denying the 
   authorship ... But when you come to read them how can any reason-
   able man deny the truth of what is contained in them??

        "On the one hand, the authenticity of this document cannot 
   be proved; on the other hand, the efforts made by some writers, 
   principally Jewish, to show it to be a forgery do not carry 
   conviction to many serious minds."

   dazzling in its brilliant completeness, and terrible in the 
   objects to which it turns its power.  It is too terribly real for 
   fiction, too well sustained for speculation, to deep in its

                                INTRODUCTION
   
        The Protocols of the Learned Elders of ZION may be briefly 
   described as a blueprint for the domination of the world by a 
   secret brotherhood.  Whatever may be the truth about their au-
   thorship - and, as will be shown, this has been the subject of 
   bitter dispute - there can be no doubt that the world society to 
   which they look forward is nothing more or less that a world 
   police state.
   
        The book is which the Protocols were first embodied was 
        published by Professor Sergyei A. Nilus in Russia in 1905, a 
        copy being received in the British Museum on August 10th, 
        1906, Professor Nilus's concern was to expose that he be-
        lieved to be a ruthless, cold-blooded conspiracy for the 
        destruction of Christian CIVILIZATION.  Early, in August and 
        September of 1903, the Russian newspaper SNAMIA had pub-
        lished the Protocols, and they are also believed to have 
        been published in the winter of 1902/1903 in the newspaper 
        MOSKOWSKIJA WIEDOMOSTI.  They remained unknown outside 
        Russia, however, until after the Bolshevik Revolution, when 
        Russian emigrants brought Nilus's book to North America and 
        Germany.
   
        The similarity between what was forecast in the Protocols 
   and the fate which had befallen Russia under the Bolsheviks was 
   so marked that, after these long years of neglect, they rapidly 
   became one of the most famous (or notorious) documents in the 
   world.
   
        In Bolshevik Russia, the penalty for their mere possession 
   was death.  It remains so to this day, both in the Soviet Union 
   and in the Satellite countries.  Outside the Iron Curtain, in 
   South Africa possession of the Protocols is also forbidden by 
   law, although the penalty is less drastic.
   
        As a result of their rapidly growing fame, numerous attempts 
   were made to discredit the Protocols as a forgery.  But it was 
   not until 1933 that the JEWS resorted to legal action.  On 26th 
   June, 1933, the FEDERATION of JEWISH COMMUNITY brought an action 
   against five members of the Swiss National Front, seeking a 
   judgment that the Protocols were a forgery and a prohibition of 
   their publication.  The procedure of the Court was astounding, 
   the provisions of the Swiss Civil Code being deliberately set 
   aside.  Sixteen witnesses called by the plaintiffs were heard, 
   but only one of the forty witnesses called by the defendants was 
   allowed a hearing.  The judge allowed the plaintiffs to appoint 
   two private stenographers to keep the register of proceedings 
   during the hearing of their witnesses, instead of entrusting the 
   task to a Court official.
   
        In view of these and similar irregularities, it was not 
   surprising that, after the case had lasted just on two years, the 
   Court pronounced the Protocols to be a forgery and demoralizing 
   literature.  The decision was given on 14th May, 1935, but it was 
   announced in the JEWISH PRESS before it was delivered by the 
   Court!

        On 1st November, 1937, the Swiss Court of Criminal Appeal 
   quashed this judgment in its entirety.  JEWISH PROPAGANDISTS, 
   however, still declare that the Protocols have been "proved" to 
   be a forgery.
   
        It is natural that the JEWS should try to discredit the 
   Protocols, for their growing fame was focusing more public atten-
   tion on other revealing utterances.
   
        In Disraeli's THE LIFE OF LORD GEORGE BENTINCK, written in 
   1852, there occurs this quotation: -
   
             "The influence of the JEWS may be traced in the last 
   outbreak of the destructive principle in Europe.  An insurrection 
   takes place against tradition and aristocracy, against religion 
   and property.  Destruction of the Semitic principles, extirpation 
   of the JEWISH RELIGION, whether in the Mosaic or the CHRISTIAN 
   form the natural equality of men and the abrogation of property 
   are proclaimed by the Secret Societies which form Provisional 
   Governments and men of the JEWISH RACE are found at the head of 
   every one of them.  The people of God cooperate with atheists; 
   the most skillful accumulators of property ally themselves with 
   Communists; the peculiar and chosen Race touch the hand of all 
   the scum and low castes of Europe; and all this because they wish 
   to destroy that ungrateful Christendom which owes to them its 
   name, and whose tyranny they can no longer endure."
   
        Max Norday, a JEW, speaking at the ZIONIST CONGRESS at Basel 
   in  August 1903, made this astonishing "prophecy":
   
             "Let me tell you the following words as if I  were 
        shoeing you the rungs of a ladder leading upward and upward: 
        Herzl, the ZIONIST CONGRESS, the English Uganda proposition, 
        the future world war, the peace conference, where with the 
        help of England a free and JEWISH PALESTINE will be  creat-
        ed."
   
        Walter Rathenau, the JEWISH BANKER behind the Kaiser, writ-
   ing in the German WIENER FREIE PRESSE, December 24, 1912, said:
   
             "Three hundred men, each of who knows all the others, 
        govern the fate of the European continent, and they elect 
        their successor from their entourage."
   
        Confirmation of Rathenau's statement came twenty years later 
   in 1931 when Jean Izoulet, a prominent member of the JEWISH 
   ALLIANCE ISRAELITE UNIVERSELLE, wrote in his PARIS LA CAPITALAE 
   DES RELIGIONS:
   
             "The meaning of the history of the last century is that 
        today 300 JEWISH FINANCIER, all Masters of Lodges, rule the 
        world."
   
        The LONDON JEWISH CHRONICLE, on April 4th, 1919, declared:
   
             "There is much in the fact of Bolshevism itself, in the 
        fact that so many JEWS are BOLSHEVISTS, in the fact that the 
        ideals of Bolshevism at many points are consonant with the 
        finest ideals of Judaism."
   
   and on March 15th, 1923, the JEWISH WORLD asserted:

             "Fundamentally JUDAISM is ANTI-CHRISTIAN."
   
        These and many similar assertions from JEWISH sources were 
   damaging enough  from the JEWISH point of view.  Taken in con-
   junction with the Protocols, with which more and more people were 
   becoming familiar, they were damning.
   
        The attitude of many people whose concern over the growing 
   attack on CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION was rapidly increasing was 
   summed up by the late Henry Ford senior, the founder of the 
   world-famous motor manufacturing company.  In an interview pub-
   lished in the New York World on February 17th, 1921, Mr.  Ford 
   declared:
   
             "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 have fitted the world situation up to this 
        time.  THEY FIT IT NOW."
   
        Those who, like Henry Ford, could see that "they fit it now" 
   only sixteen years after Nilus's first publication of the Proto-
   cols, naturally tended to concentrate their attention on the 
   relatively recent phenomenon of Bolshevism.  Few of them the 
   understood the equally dangerous, if more insidious, danger of 
   internationalism.
   
        Now, however, more than half a century after Nilus's publi-
   cation of the Protocols, the reality of that danger must be 
   crystal clear to anybody who views the world situation objectively.
   
        The Protocols are full of references to a "Super-
   Government," PROTOCOL VI, for example, states:
   
             "In every possible way we must develop the significance 
        of our Super-Government by representing it as the Protector 
        and Benefactor of all those who voluntarily submit to us."
    
        That is exactly the way in which the United Nations special 
   agencies - UNESCO (U.N.  Educational, Scientific and Cultural 
   Organization); ILO (International Labour Organization); WHO 
   (World Health Organization); FAO (Food and Agriculture Organiza-
   tion); Commission of Human Rights; Genocide Convention, etc.  - 
   are represented.
   
        For some years there has been in existence an international 
   organization calling itself the World Association of Parliamen-
   tarians for World Government, which pursues the same objective as 
   that of another long-established international organization, 
   Federal Union.  This body does not disuse the fact that the 
   United Nations, by means of a few relatively minor changes in its 
   Charter, could be transformed virtually over night into a World 
   Government.
   
        There has long been agitation for the creation of a World 
   Police Force.  This would enable the United Nations Super-Govern-
   ment to function as a master of an all-powerful World Police 
   State, and the closing years of the 1950's have seen the agita-
   tors for a World Police Force come close to achieving their 
   objective.  The U.N.  Emergency Force, established after the Suez 
   crisis of 1956, has been openly regarded as a "pilot scheme."

        Should the few changes in the Charter necessary to transform 
   the U.N.  into a Super-Government be made, it will have in the 
   special agencies ready made Ministries of Education (or Propagan-
   da), Labor, Health, Food and Agriculture, "Justice", etc.
   
        Can it be an accident that these things are so accurately 
   for-shadowed in the Protocols?
   
        The full-scale World Super-Government is not the only, nor 
   perhaps the most immediate, danger.  It is obvious to everyone 
   that the nations of the East are being herded into subjection 
   under the dominance of the Soviet Union.  But what of the nations 
   of the West? Are they really the "free nations" which they are 
   popularly supposed to be?
   
        Far from it! They are being herded into that same sort of 
   pen as are the nations of the East under Communism.  Late in 
   1957, the process had gone for enough to be given an official 
   name.  That name was the policy of inter-dependence."
   
        The nations of the West are being brought under internation-
   al control at political, military and economic levels.  They are 
   rapidly in process of becoming controlled also on the social 
   level.  All alike are being told that their only hope lies in the 
   surrender of national sovereignty.
   
        National Parliaments must give way to such bodies as the 
   Council of Europe or the Atlantic Council.  National Forces must 
   be submerged in such bodies as the North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
   zation (NATO), the Baghdad Pact or the South-East Treaty Organi-
   zation (SEATO), so that no nation has control over its own means 
   of defense.  National economies must be submerged in such bodies 
   as the Organization for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC), the 
   European Payments Union (EPU) or the World Bank, so that no 
   nation may control its own economic destiny.
   
        Even on the social level, individual national distinctions 
   must disappear.  For example, under the "Common Market" Treaty 
   which unites six European nations on the economic plane, provi-
   sion is made for the "equalization of social policies."  And 
   strenuous efforts have been made to herd other European nations, 
   Great Britain among them, into this same pen in the associated 
   European Free Trade Area.
   
        In 1934, when the leader of the British Labor Party (Mr.  
   Clement Attlee) told the party's annual conference:
   
             "We are deliberately putting loyalty to a world order 
        above loyalty to our own country," he was widely execrated.
   
        Twenty-three years of propaganda, however, leave their mark, 
   and when, in 1957, a Conservative Prime Minister of Britain told 
   the British people that they must surrender some of their nation-
   al sovereignty to an unknown international cabal, scarcely a 
   voice was raise in protest.  At the close of 1957 there was an 
   official declaration of the British Government's support for the 
   plan which was foreshadowed in the Protocols over sixty years 
   ago.  The Earl of Gosford, Joint Under-Secretary of State for 
   Foreign Affairs, said in the House of Lords on 7th November, 
   1957:
   
             "Her Majesty's Government are fully in agreement with 
        World Government.  We agree that this must be the goal, and 
        that every step that is humanly possible must be taken to 
        reach that goal."
   
        All over the world "federation", "integration", "regionali-
   zation" and "inter-dependence" are the order of the day.  All 
   this is foreshadowed in the Protocols, published more than 
   half-a-century ago by Sergyei Nilus, which, we are told are 
   forgery.
   
        Can this be coincidence? Could any forger be so prescient?
   
        Or are the Protocols what Nilus and many others believed 
   them to be - the blueprint for a conspiracy to destroy CHRISTIAN 
   CIVILIZATION and place the whole world under the domination of a 
   small, secret cabal?
   
   
                                 NOTES
   
                  I - "AGENTURE" and "THE POLITICAL"
   
        There are two words in this translation which are unusual, 
   the words "Agentur" and "political" used as substantives.  
   "Agentur" appears to be adopted from the original test and it 
   means the whole body of agents and agencies directed by the 
   Elders, whether members of the tribe or their GENTILE tools.
   
        By "the Political" is meant not exactly the "body politic" 
   but the entire machinery of politics.
