The Greatest Conspiracy Theory Ever Told -- And the Real Conspiracy Nobody Talks About
“In 1972, the Kremlin decided to turn the whole Islamic world against Israel ... As KGB chairman Yury Andropov told me … We needed to instill a Nazi-style hatred for the Jews throughout the Islamic world, and to turn this weapon of the emotions into a terrorist bloodbath against Israel …”
“According to Andropov, the Islamic world was a waiting petri dish in which we could nurture a virulent strain of America-hatred, grown from the bacterium of Marxist-Leninist thought. Islamic anti-Semitism ran deep. The Muslims had a taste for nationalism, jingoism, and victimology. Their illiterate, oppressed mobs could be whipped up to a fever pitch.”
We’re all aware of the most influential antisemitic book in modern history, “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.”
Appearing in the early 1900s, then adopted and disseminated by the A-Team of International Antisemites — Russia and the Soviet Union, the Nazis, the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, and so on — this famous forgery purports to be the minutes of a secret meeting held by the “Elders of Zion” behind the scenes of the First Zionist Congress1 in 1897.
Of course, there are no such Elders and there was no such meeting, and large chunks of the text were directly plagiarized from an 1864 book sketching Machiavelli’s political philosophy, but those facts, though widely known from at least 1921 onward, didn’t stop the book from spreading around the world and directly inspiring Hitler’s genocidal Final Solution, Hamas’ jihadist Final Solution (they quote from the “Protocols” as if it were factual in their foundational charter), and the long, ongoing campaign of Russian-Soviet anti-Zionism.
And what about this book inspires such deadly behavior?
