Chapter FOUR: The Russian Sponsors of the Forgery

Nilus on the Protocols--Only "the God-Anointed Tsar of Russia" Can Save the World--Passages from Nilus Omitted by Translators--On Tolstoy--On the Emancipation of Women--On the "Sanhedrin" and "its Faithful Ally, England."

In 1905 the second edition of Serge Nilus's book appeared, printed on government presses at Tsarskoye Selo, containing a new and elaborated version of the protocols.

The translators of the Nilus protocols published in his 1905 edition, a copy of which is in the British Museum, have deliberately omitted numerous passages from his prologue and epilogue. These passages show clearly the purpose of the volume. Nilus writes: "We may perhaps be reproached, and justly, for the apocryphal character of the document presented. But if it were possible to demonstrate its accuracy by documents or through the testimony of trustworthy witnesses, if it were possible to unveil the faces of those who are at the head of the world conspiracy and who hold its bloody strings in their hands, then the very 'mystery of lawlessness' would be infringed upon, and it must remain intact until its incarnation in the 'son of destruction.'" Then he goes on to say that the world is rushing towards its destruction, and that there is only one force that can save it, and that is the "God-Anointed Tsar of Russia." The omitted portions of the Nilus book show distinctly that it is a work of propaganda for the Russian autocracy. Nilus denounced Leo Tolstoy, the emancipation of women, and all movements leading toward progress.

The editors of the protocols in Europe and America, realizing that these passages would disclose to intelligent people the real motive of the Nilus protocols and thus discredit them, have deliberately omitted them in the translations.

Here are some of the omitted portions of the notorious Nilus book, which are his own utterances and do not purport to constitute a part of the Protocols. They are translated from a photographed copy of the volume in the British Museum:

"We have succeeded in obtaining for our use from a man close to us,
now deceased, a manuscript in which are described with unusual
precision and clearness the course and progress of the universal
fatal mystery aiming to bring the apostate world to an inevitable
catastrophe. This manuscript was given to us about four years ago
(in 1901) with the assurance that it was an accurate copy--a
translation of the original documents stolen by a woman from one of
the most powerful and sacred directors of Freemasonry after one of
the secret meetings of the 'initiates' in France, the present nest
of the Freemason's sect. This manuscript under the general title
'Protocols of Meetings of the Wise Men of Zion' I now call to the
attention of all who wish to see or hear. These 'Protocols' at a
first cursory glance might seem to be what we are accustomed to
call truisms; they are more or less commonplaces although expressed
with a boldness and a hatred not altogether customary in
commonplaces. A proud, deeply-rooted, ancient, for a long time
secretly growing,--and what is more frightful than all,--a religious
rage boils between the lines, bubbling over and escaping from the
overfilled vessel of violence and vengeance, already approaching
complete triumph.

"It must be mentioned, by the way, that the title of the manuscript
does not fully justify the contents: these are not protocols of a
meeting but rather the report of someone in power, divided into
parts which are not even always logically connected: the impression
remains that this is a fragment of something much more significant,
the beginning of which has been lost. The origin of the manuscript,
as given by us above, furnishes sufficient explanation of this.

"We may perhaps be reproached, and justly, for the apocryphal
character of the document presented. But if it were possible to
demonstrate its accuracy by documents or through the testimony of
trustworthy witnesses, if it were possible to unveil the faces of
those who are at the head of the world conspiracy and who hold its
bloody strings in their hands, then the very 'mystery of
lawlessness' would be infringed upon, and it must remain intact
until its incarnation in the 'son of destruction.' In the
complexity of the present criminally-earthly process _we must not
search for direct evidence_; we are forced to content ourselves
with indirect proof and of these it seems that the attention of the
sad Christian observer is fully satisfied.

"The history of the Rothschilds show that the whole republican era
of France is due to Zion and that not a single one of those elected
to office has to this time ever done what he promised to do, if the
demands of his electors did not coincide with the plans of the
government of Zion.

"What has become of unfortunate France!...

"'Let him who has ears, listen!'"

"'Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some
shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and
doctrines of devils;

"'Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a
hot iron;

"'Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which
God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which
believe and know the truth.'

"Is not this Tolstoy and his followers scattered over the whole
world?!"

"In every age there have been many women 'drowning in sin and led
on by various lusts': the ebb and flow of this sin in woman's heart
characterized whole epochs of particular human defection but at no
time of the seeming triumph of sin have there been women
'constantly studying'--this sign represents entirely a universal
inheritance and is an exclusive characteristic of our epoch.

"Who is ignorant of the so-called 'woman question,' the
emancipation of woman, that has already succeeded in breaking up so
many families and which threatens an even greater disruption in the
future?!...

"For the sake of some phantom the bride and mother abandons her
true mission. Is not this the greatest and most unfortunate world
revolution!"

"The Sanhedrin was unseizable and invulnerable. It carried the
roots of evil from France into Scotland, where under a different
name it entered into a league with united England, with whom, after
having let it in behind the curtain of its secret and having
declared deadly war to papism, it cooperates even to the present
day, helping out England in her exploits over the whole world with
its capital and concessions, in which respect the Sanhedrin was
never penurious.

"As to the question why England and no other European government
was chosen as the point of resistance for the fighting Sanhedrin,
the Sanhedrin gives no reply. We are inclined to think that the
cause is to be found in the isolated island position of the
sufficiently strong government, and perhaps in the kinship between
the English and the Jews.[*]

[Footnote *: As is known, there is a scientific theory which tries
to prove that the English are the descendants of one of the
scattered tribes of Israel. The Sanhedrin which directs the course
of contemporary science, is not ashamed to produce whatever
theories are advantageous to them. According to certain tenuous
evidences in the air it seems that a new theory is being produced
according to which the honor of birth relationship with the
God-elected Sanhedrin is extended to America and ... Japan. AVIS A
L'ANGLETERRE!...)]

"Having covered the whole of Europe with a network of Masonic lies
(the symbol of the temple of Solomon is preserved for them also),
possessing countless millions, in face of the general fall of the
Christian spirit among the European peoples, in whom there was
artificially spread and supported the cult of the golden calf;
having poisoned the idea of godliness and spirituality in the heart
of the peoples by 'scientific' theories, the Sanhedrin--the priest
of the golden idol created by it, has gained control of the
spiritual life of all Europe, and with its help, with the help of
its gold, with the sold consciousness of those standing at the helm
of power, and with the help of its faithful ally--England, it has
corrupted and perverted all the political foundations of Europe,
and through them the well-being and spiritual health of its
population. The French revolution, glorified by the Masonized
historical science of 'greatness' and the fall of the 'great'
Napoleon have shown to the world the significance and strength of
the Sanhedrin. But the world did not recognize the new
manifestation of Satan: at that time the words of truth of the
Evangel and the apostolic foresight had become alien to him."
