ABSTRACT
Perhaps one of the deadliest frauds and scams of recent history is a largely plagiarized document entitled The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. This work comes in the form of an “initiation manual” for new members of a fictitious council of Jewish rabbinical elders, discussing their plans for secret world domination through control of the economy and banking systems. Despite the illogic of a secret society conveniently detailing its plot for world domination in a written form that could be easily disseminated, the Protocols have been presented as factual by a number of organizations during the last century. In each case these various groups, contrary to historical evidence regarding the fraudulent nature of the book, have presented the Protocols as fact in order to stir religious and cultural hatred toward Jewish people to further their own goals.
