One of the most persuasive testimonials we found to the existence and activities of the Prieuré de Sion dated from the late nineteenth century. The testimonial in question is well known – but it is not recognized as a testimonial. On the contrary it has always been associated with more sinister things. It has played a notorious role in recent history and still tends to arouse such violent emotions, bitter antagonisms and gruesome memories that most writers are happy to dismiss it out of hand. To the extent that this testimonial has contributed significantly to human prejudice and suffering, such a reaction is perfectly understandable. But if the testimonial has been criminally misused, our researches convinced us that it has also been seriously misunderstood.
The role of Rasputin at the Court of Nicholas and Alexandra of Russia is more or less generally known. It is not generally known, however, that there were influential, even powerful esoteric enclaves at the Russian court long before Rasputin. During the 1890s and 1900 one such enclave formed itself around an individual known as Monsieur Philippe, and around his mentor, who made periodic visits to the imperial court at Petersburg. And Monsieur Philippe’s mentor was none other than the man called Papus (See Note) – the French esotericist associated with Jules Doinel (founder of the neo-Cathar church in the Languedoc), Péladan (who claimed to have discovered Jesus’s tomb) Emma Calvé (eminent opera singer and supposed lover of the Priest of Rennes le Chateau Béringer Saunière) and Claude Debussy (Composer and supposed Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion). In a word the ‘French occult revival’ of the late nineteenth century had not only spread to Petersburg. Its representatives also enjoyed the privileged status of personal confidants to the czar and czarina.
However, the esoteric enclave of Papus and Monsieur Philippe was actively opposed by certain other powerful interests – the Grand Duchess Elizabeth, for example, who was intent on installing her own favourites in proximity to the imperial throne. One of the grand duchess’s favourites was a rather contemptible individual known to posterity under the pseudonym of Sergei Nilus. Sometime around 1903 Nilus presented a highly controversial document to the czar - a document that supposedly bore witness to a dangerous conspiracy. But if Nilus expected the czar’s gratitude for his disclosure, he must have been grievously disappointed. The czar declared the document to be an outrageous fabrication, and ordered all copies of it to be destroyed. And Nilus was banished from the court in disgrace.
Of course the document - or at any rate, a copy of it – survived. In 1903 it was serialised in a newspaper but failed to attract any interest. In 1905 it was published again – this time as an appendix to a book by a distinguished mystical philosopher, Vladimir Soloviov. At this point it began to attract attention. In the years that followed it became one of the single most infamous documents of the twentieth century.
The document in question was a tract, or, more strictly speaking, a purported social and political programme. It has appeared under a variety of differing titles, most common of which is the ‘Protocols of the Elders of Sion’. The Protocols allegedly issued from specifically Jewish sources. And for a great many anti-Semites at the time they were convincing proof of an ‘international Jewish conspiracy’. In 1919, for example, they were distributed to the troops of the White Russian Army - and these troops, during the next two years, massacred some 60000 Jews who were held responsible for the 1917 Revolution. By 1919 the Protocols were also being circulated by Alfred Rosenberg, later the chief racial theoretician and propagandist for the National Socialist Party in Germany. In Mein Kampf Hitler used the Protocols to fuel his own fanatical prejudices, and it is said to have believed unquestioningly in their authenticity. In England the Protocols were immediately accorded credence by the Morning Post. Even The Times, in 1921, took them seriously and only later admitted its error. Experts today concur - and rightly so, we concluded - that the Protocols, at least in their present form, are a vicious and insidious forgery. Nevertheless, they are still being circulated – in Latin America, in Spain, even in Britain - as anti-Semitic propaganda.
The Protocols propound in outline a blueprint for nothing less than total world domination. On first reading they would seem to be Machiavellian programme – kind of inter-office memo, so to speak. For a group of individuals determined to impose a New World Order, with themselves as supreme despots. The text advocates a many-tentacled hydra-headed conspiracy dedicated to disorder and anarchy, to toppling certain existing régimes, infiltrating Freemasonry and other such organizations, and eventually seizing absolute control of the Western World’s social, political and economic institutions explicitly that they ‘stage-managed’ whole peoples ‘according to a political plan which no one has so much as guessed at in the course of many centuries.
To a modern reader the Protocols might seem to have been devised by some fictitious organization like SPECTRE – James Bond’s adversary in Ian Fleming’s novels. When they were published, however, the Protocols were alleged to have been composed at an International Judaic Congress that convened in Basle in 1897. This allegation has long since been disproved. The earliest copies of the Protocols, for example, are known to have been originally written in French – and the 1897 Congress in Basle did not include a single French delegate. Moreover, a copy of the Protocols is known to have been in circulation as early as 1884 – a full thirteen years before the Basle conference met. The 1884 copy of the Protocols surfaced in the hands of a member of a Masonic lodge – the same lodge of which Papus (See note) was a member and subsequently Grand Master. Moreover, it was the same lodge that the tradition of Ormus had first appeared – the legendary Egyptian sage who amalgamated pagan and Christian mysteries and founded the Rose-Croix.
Modern scholars have established in fact that the Protocols, in their published form, are based at least in part on a satirical work written and printed in Geneva in 1864. The work was composed and printed as an attack on Napoleon III by a man named Maurice Joly, who was subsequently imprisoned. Joly is said to have been a member of the Rose-Croix order. Whether this is true or not, he was a friend of Victor Hugo, and Hugo, who shared Joly’s antipathy to Napoleon III, was a member of a Rose-Croix order.
It can thus be proved conclusively that the Protocols did not issue from the Judaic Congress at Basle in 1897. That being so, the obvious question is whence they did issue. Modern scholars have dismissed them as total forgery, a wholly spurious document concocted by anti-Semitic interests intent on discrediting Judaism. And yet the Protocols themselves argue strongly against such a conclusion. They contain, for example, a number of enigmatic references – references that are clearly not Judaic. But these references are so clearly not Judaic that they cannot plausibly have been fabricated by a forger either. No anti-Semitic forger with even a modicum of intelligence would possibly have concocted such references in order to discredit Judaism. For no one would have believed these references to be of Judaic origin.
Thus, for instance, the text of the Protocols ends with a single statement. ‘Signed by the representatives of Sion of the 33rd Degree.
Why would an anti-Semitic forger have made up such a statement? Why would he not have attempted to incriminate all Jews rather than just a few – the few who constitute ‘the representatives of Sion of 33rd Degree’? Why would he not declare that the document was signed by, say, the representatives of the International Judaic Congress? In fact, the ‘representatives of the Sion of the 33rd Degree’ would hardly refer to Judaism at all, or to any ‘international Jewish conspiracy’. If anything, it would seem to refer to something specifically Masonic. And the 33rd Degree in Freemasonry is that of the so-called ‘Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite’ which emerges mysteriously out of French Freemasonry in the mid eighteenth century.
The Protocols contain other even more flagrant anomalies. The text speaks repeatedly, for example, of the advent of the ‘Masonic Kingdom’ and of a ‘King of the blood of Sion’. It asserts that the future king will be of the ‘dynastic roots of King David’. It affirms that the ‘King of the Jews will be the real Pope’ and ‘the patriarch of an international church’. And it concludes in a most cryptic fashion, ‘Certain members of the seed of David will prepare the kings and their heirs… Only the King and the three who stood sponsor for him will know what is coming’.
As an expression of Judaic thought, real or fabricated, such statements are blatantly absurd. Since Biblical times no king has figured in Judaic tradition, and the very principle of kingship has become utterly irrelevant. The concept of a king would have been meaningless to Jews of 1897 as it would to the Jews of today: no forger can have been in ignorance of this fact. Indeed the references quoted would appear to be more Christian than Judaic. For the last two millennia the only ‘King of the Jews’ has been Jesus himself - and Jesus, according to the Gospels, was of the ‘dynastic roots of David’. If one is fabricating a document and ascribing it to a ‘Jewish Conspiracy’, why include such patently Christian echoes.
Why speak of so specifically and uniquely Christian a concept as a pope? Why speak of an ‘international church’ rather than an international synagogue or an international temple? And why include the enigmatic allusion to ‘the King and the three who stood sponsor’? – which is less suggestive of Judaism and Christianity than it is of the secret societies of Johann Valentin Andrea and Charles Nodier? If the Protocols issued wholly from a propagandist’s anti-Semitic imagination, it is difficult to imagine a propagandist so inept, or so ignorant and uninformed.
On the basis of prolonged and systematic research, we reached the conclusions about the ‘Protocols of the elders of Sion’. They are as follows:
1. There was an original text on which the published version of the Protocols was based. This original text was not a forgery. On the contrary it was authentic. But it had nothing whatsoever to do with Judaism or an ‘International Jewish conspiracy’. It issued rather from some Masonic organization or Masonically oriented secret society which incorporated the ‘Sion’.
2. The original text on which the published version of the Protocols was based need not have been provocative or inflammatory in it language. But it may well have included a programme for gaining power, for infiltrating Freemasonry, for controlling social, political and economic institutions. Such a programme would have been perfectly in keeping with the secret societies of the Renaissance, as well as with the Compagne du Saint-Sacrement and the institutions of Andrea and Nodier.
3. The original text on which the published version of the Protocols was based fell into the hands of Sergei Nilus. Nilus did not at first intend it to discredit Judaism. On the contrary, he brought it to the czar with the intention of discrediting the esoteric enclave at the imperial court – the enclave of Papus, Monsieur Philippe and others who were members of the secret society in question. Before doing so, he almost certainly doctored the language, rendering it more venomous and inflammatory than it initially was. They had failed in their primary objective of compromising Papus and Monsieur Philippe. But they might still serve a secondary purpose - that of fostering anti-Semitism. Although Nilus’s chief targets had been Papus and Monsieur Philippe, he was hostile to Judaism as well
4. The published version of the Protocols is not, therefore, a totally fabricated text. It is rather a radically altered text. But despite the alterations certain vestiges of the original text can be discerned – as in a palimpsest, or as in passages in the Bible. These vestiges – which referred to king, a pope, an international church, and to Sion – probably meant little or nothing to Nilus. He certainly would not invented them himself. But if they were already there, he would have no reason, given his ignorance, to excise them. And while such vestiges might have been irrelevant to Judaism, they might have been extremely relevant to a secret society.
