FINAL WARNING: Setting the Stage for World War II
of Rabbi Reichhorn, presented in Prague in 1869, over the tomb of the
Grand Rabbi Simeon-ben-Ihuda.
Early in 1900, this fictional speech was used to instigate pogroms
against the Jews, and became known as “The Rabbi’s Speech.” An
anti-Semite, P. A. Khrushevan, used the speech to provoke a pogrom
at Kishinev, in the Ukraine, in 1903, in which 45 Jews were killed, and
400 injured, in an incident that destroyed 1,300 Jewish homes and
shops. The speech is now used to prove the authenticity of the
Protocols.
The document known as the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion,
seems to be a conglomeration of many anti-Jewish publications during
that period. In 1869, Gougenot de Mousseaux wrote a book that said
that the world was being taken over by a group of Satan-worshipping
Jews, out of which a man would emerge that the Jews would worship
as their returned Messiah. In 1881, Abbé Chabauty wrote a 600-page
book that said Satan was using the Jews to prepare the way for the
Antichrist. His second book, published in 1882, included two letters
that were allegedly written in 1489 by a Jewish leader who spoke of the
Jews rising up to “dominate the world.” These letters have come to be
known as the Letter of the Jews of Constantinople. They were actually
satirical comments on the Spanish Jews.
In 1893, Monsignor Meurin, the Archbishop of Port Louis, Mauritius,
said: “Freemasonry is fundamentally Jewish, exclusively Jewish,
passionately Jewish, from the beginning to the end,” and that
“someday history will tell how all the revolutions of recent centuries
originated in the Masonic sect under the supreme command of the
Jews.” He said that the Masons of the 33rd degree were the leaders of
the conspiracy, and indeed the Protocols are signed: “...by the
representatives of Zion, of the 33rd degree.” In World Conquest by the
Jews, Osman-Bey wrote, that in 1840, a meeting of eminent Jewish
leaders was held in Cracow, Poland, to discuss the expansion of
Judaism over the entire world. This book became the framework for
the Protocols.
Victor E. Marsden, the Russian correspondent for The Morning Post of
London, wrote in his 1934 English translation of the Protocols, that in
1884, Joseph Schorst, a Jew who was a member of the Mizraim Lodge,
