Protocols of the Elders of Anti-Zion: The Global Conspiracy Against the Jews

The extensive attention rightly paid to the infamous forgery, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion—an antisemitic conspiracy theory believed by millions (or perhaps billions) to this very day, to be factual—overlooks the fact that there actually does exist a real conspiracy, a global conspiracy, albeit in precisely the opposite direction. Sometimes working together, sometimes in parallel, sometimes centrally directed, sometimes dispersed, sometimes secretly, sometimes overtly, collectively there is an enormous set of individuals, organizations, and governments all working toward the same inglorious end for well over a century now. It’s not, per the original Protocols, that the dastardly Jews are conspiring to subjugate or eliminate the peoples of the world. It’s that the peoples of the world (or large constituents thereof) are conspiring to subjugate and (in all too many cases) to outright eliminate the Jews, in particular by means of eliminating their national project, the State of Israel. 

It’s time to examine their protocols, these Elders of Anti-Zion.
