BOOK ONE — INTRODUCTION<br />
all, 83/ assembling under <strong>the</strong> presidency <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> Modern <strong>Zion</strong>ism, <strong>the</strong> late <strong>The</strong>odore<br />
Herzl.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re has been published a volume <strong>of</strong> Herzl’s Diaries, a translation <strong>of</strong> some passages<br />
which appeared in <strong>The</strong> Jewish Chronicle <strong>of</strong> July 14, 1922, 84/ though unseen by <strong>the</strong> Compiler and<br />
Editor <strong>of</strong> This <strong>Book</strong>. In that diary, Herzl gives an account <strong>of</strong> his first visit to England in 1895,<br />
and his conversation with Colonel Goldsmid, a Jew brought up as a Christian, and an <strong>of</strong>ficer in<br />
<strong>the</strong> English Army, and at hear a Jew Nationalist throughout all that time. Goldsmid suggested to<br />
Herzl that <strong>the</strong> best way <strong>of</strong> expropriating <strong>the</strong> English aristocracy and so destroying <strong>the</strong>ir power to<br />
protect <strong>the</strong> people <strong>of</strong> England against Jewish infiltration and eventual domination, was to put an<br />
excessive tax upon <strong>the</strong> land. Herzl thought this to be an excellent idea, and it is now found<br />
definitely embodied in “Protocol No. 4.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> above extract from Herzl’s Diary, if <strong>the</strong> Reader could ever find a copy <strong>of</strong> it — which<br />
is doubtful anymore, is an extremely significant piece <strong>of</strong> evidence hearing on <strong>the</strong> existence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Jewish World Plot and on <strong>the</strong> au<strong>the</strong>nticity <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Protocols</strong> prior to <strong>the</strong> Nilus translation and its<br />
subsequent proliferation. But any reader <strong>of</strong> intelligence will be able, from his own knowledge <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> history <strong>of</strong> this century and from his own experience, to confirm <strong>the</strong> genuineness <strong>of</strong> every line<br />
<strong>of</strong> Herzl’s statements, and <strong>of</strong> those protocols; and, it is in <strong>the</strong> light <strong>of</strong> this living comment that all<br />
readers are invited to study Mr. Nilus’ or Mr. Marsden’s translation <strong>of</strong> that document.<br />
And here is ano<strong>the</strong>r very significant circumstance. One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> successors <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong>odore<br />
Herzl as leader <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Zion</strong>ist Movement, a Dr. Weizmann, quoted ont <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se sayings at <strong>the</strong><br />
send-<strong>of</strong>f banquet given to Chief Rabbi Hertz on October 6, 1920. <strong>The</strong> Chief Rabbi was on <strong>the</strong><br />
point <strong>of</strong> leaving for his “Empire tour” <strong>of</strong> Jewish places — a Jewish answer to <strong>the</strong> British<br />
Commonwealth “Empire Tour” <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> English royalty. And this is <strong>the</strong> “saying” <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> Sages<br />
which Dr. Weizmann quoted:<br />
“A beneficent protection which God has instituted in <strong>the</strong> life <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Jew is that He<br />
[God] has dispersed him [<strong>the</strong> Jew] all over <strong>the</strong> world.” 85/<br />
Now compare Dr. Weizmann’s quotation with <strong>the</strong> last sentence <strong>of</strong> Protocol No. 11,<br />
paragraph 8:<br />
God has granted to us, His Chosen People, <strong>the</strong> gift <strong>of</strong> dispersion, and from this,<br />
which appears to all eyes to be our weakness, has cone forth all our strength,<br />
which has now brought us to <strong>the</strong> threshold <strong>of</strong> sovereignty over all <strong>the</strong> world.<br />
<strong>The</strong> remarkable correspondence between <strong>the</strong>se passages proves several things. It proves<br />
that some kind <strong>of</strong> assembly, calling <strong>the</strong>mselves — or referred to by o<strong>the</strong>rs — as “<strong>The</strong> elders,” or<br />
“<strong>the</strong> <strong>Learned</strong> <strong>Elders</strong>,” or, “<strong>The</strong> Wise Men,” do in fact exist. It indicates that Dr. Weizmann, and<br />
all to whom he spoke at that meeting, knew or should have known all about <strong>the</strong>m. It proves that<br />
<strong>the</strong> desire for a “National Home” in Palestine (now called <strong>the</strong> Jewish State <strong>of</strong> Israel) is only<br />
camouflage and an infinitesimal part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Jew’s real, ultimate object. It proves that <strong>the</strong><br />
