Translated from the Russian by Victor Marsden. This is the
full-blown version, as opposed to the shorter condensed
booklet. Some have asked us not to offer this book. Many
wish to see it banned altogether, as it claims to expose a
world-wide Jewish conspiracy. We neither support nor deny
its message, we simply make it available for those who wish
a copy. The Book Tree [publisher of this print] specializes in
publishing rare, hard to find, and, often times,
controversial books. In reissuing The Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion, The Book Tree has no agenda. We are
not a "hate group," nor are we connected or affiliated with
any such group. It is claimed that this book caused the
deaths of many people, and we do not argue this point. After
careful study we have concluded and publicly state that we
do not endorse this book as being valid except, if anything,
by coincidence alone. Even after overwhelming proof surfaced
that proved it was a forgery, Henry Ford continued to print
this book, based on coincidence (a strong coincidence to
Ford) but on nothing more than that. As far as we can tell,
there was no master plan made by Jewish leaders to rule the
world as outlined in this book. People were mis-led and
mistakenly believed it. Although it is in all likelihood an outright forgery, we
still offer this book in the same way we publish and offer a
book called Malleus Malificarum, which also caused the
deaths of thousands of innocent people (accused of
witchcraft). We do not support what The Protocols claims any
more than we support the burning of "witches" at the stake.
Some people still believe there are witches and they should
die, based on a Bible scripture that was misinterpreted (or
even forged) during the time of King James. Some also
believe in the message of The Protocols, which is to the
best of our knowledge an unquestionable and fraudulent hoax
a forgery. We offer both of these books -- not in support of
their messages -- but as a tool for people to understand how
nations and people can be duped into thinking and doing
insane things. It is sometimes referred to as mass hysteria. A number of these books (The Protocols) are being used in
college classrooms, and it seems clear that professors are
using it as an educational tool -- they are not preaching
hate with it. Nor are we trying to preach hate by offering
it. We at The Book Tree were unaware of the evidence that
proves conclusively that The Protocols is a hoax, and had
taken a neutral stand in the Introduction to a previous
edition, saying people should read the book and decide for
themselves. We extend our apologies for being unaware of
this evidence, and now support those who claim it to be a hoax. Approximately 175 excerpts, over 60% of the book, are said
to almost precisely match French satirist Maurice Jolys
novel from 1864 entitled, Dialogues in Hell Between
Machiavelli and Monttesquieu. If this is true, and we take
it on good authority that it is (having seen some examples),
then we stand by those who have exposed it as a forgery. A
known forger and German anti-Semite named Hermann Goedsche
(aka Sir John Retcliffe) took Jolys Dialogues and adapted
them into what eventually became The Protocols. The Russian
secret police then found it useful as a propaganda tool on a
number of levels. There are those few who are still adamant that The Protocols
are genuine. They are free to read this book as a matter of
choice and form their own opinions, while keeping in mind
the conclusions of both the publisher and myself. The Book
Tree is not a believer in the suppression of information, as
all people have a God-given right to read and investigate
what they wish. There is much to be learned from this book
by examining it closely. Plutarch once said, "To make no
mistakes is not in the power of man, but from their errors
and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future."
It is our hope that past mistakes will not be repeated, and
we believe that open dialogue and education is the key
(rather than suppression). Another famous philosopher once
said, "If we do not learn from our past mistakes, then we
are doomed to repeat them." Those who believed The Protocols
made a terrible mistake. But society as a whole has evolved
beyond witch burnings and the systematic murder of Jewish
people. Instead of covering up or suppressing the books
which caused such things, The Book Tree believes they should
be made available and studied.
