and the destruction and enslavement of the rest of mankind. Bjerkness
believes this demented creed actually is the motive force behind history,
including all wars and “world government”. . . I [Makow] think he exaggerates
the importance of Jewish messianism but I may be wrong. His
message is compelling and consistent with the Protocols of Zion where
the author (whom I believe is Lionel Rothschild) talks about coming into
his “kingdom.” 5
Makow then cites the central argument from Bjerkness’ 574-PDF
downloadable (2006, 2007, Enlarged Second Edition) text The Jewish
Genocide of Armenian Christians:
The ruin of the Turkish Empire and the mass murder of the Armenian
Christians were one step on the long and tumultuous Jewish march
toward the death of mankind. The ruin of the Russian empire was
another, followed by the repeated destruction of Europe, particularly Germany
in the World Wars this Jewish cult [Sabbatian Frankists] created in
an attempt to artificially fulfill Messianic prophecy and force the Jews of
Europe against their will to flee to Palestine. (p. 66)
It is to this text, then, that we now turn. Another conspiracy theorist,
however, Eric Hufschmid (www.erichufschmid.net), long a proponent of
the notion that the tragedy of September 11, 2001 (9/11) in the United
States was a Zionist plot, contradicting Makow, says of Bjerkness in an
audio file and transcript dated 23 October 2007: 6
One man who has been trying for the past year to become known as an
expert on the Armenian genocide is Chris Bjerkness. Bjerkness claims

Hufschmid said:
There are also reports of Israelis operating a moving company
near the World Trade Center. Some of those Israelis may have been
involved in installing explosives in the towers. After they were finished,
they went back to Israel. . . But the evidence is overwhelming
that the attack was conducted by Larry Silverstein, top Israeli officials,
and other Zionists . . . Nobody has yet figured out who planned and
executed the September 11 attack, but there is overwhelming evidence
that Americans did not do this by themselves. The connection to Israel
and Zionism cannot be overlooked. Actually the Zionists appear to
have been the masterminds. . . The September 11 attack appears to have
been designed by Zionists in order to create anger towards Arabs. It is
similar to their bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946, in which
they tried to make the British angry at Arabs.
