and Historic Events of the Last Ten Years.
In 1891, the story appeared in the Russian newspaper Novorossiysky Telegraf, which
established that the speech was made in 1869 by a rabbi to a secret Sanhedrin (possibly referring
to the First Congress of Reformed Judaism, held in Leipzig). Its authenticity, again, was
supported by the fictional Sir John Readclif. Later, in the October 21, 1920 issue of La Vielle
France, the newspaper said there was a striking analogy between the Protocols of the Elders of
Zion and the discourse 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 Satanworshipping
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, stole the document and sold it for 2,500 francs to Justine Glinka, the
daughter of a Russian General. She in turn gave the French document, and a Russian translation
to Gen. Orgevskii in St. Petersburg, who gave it to his superior, Gen. Cherevin, who filed it.
Glinka was later arrested, returned to Russia, and exiled to her estate in Orel; while Schorst was
killed in Egypt. It had also been reported that Glinka had given a copy to Alexis Sukhotin, a law
enforcement official in Orel, who then showed them to two friends, Stepanov, and Professor
Sergei Nilus, a religious mystic.
Nilus showed them to the Czar in 1903, who believed them to be fraudulent, and ordered that
all copies were to be destroyed. After Nilus was banned from the Court, it is believed that he
may have altered the text to be more intense then they originally were. However, as far as the
mysterious references to the “representatives of Sion, of the 33rd degree,” he would not have any
idea what this meant, and probably would not have altered this and any other in-kind references.
The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion first appeared, in a shortened form, in an
August, 1903 edition of the Kishinev newspaper, in the Ukraine; then in 1905, in the appendix of
