Hadding Scott and Carolyn Yeager open the show with some further discussion on The Protocols’  “authenticity” question.  Carolyn offers links to other authors and events in history that point to a consensus of Jewish intent in accord with the documents that make up The Protocols of the Elders of Zion … first published in Russia in 1903. Carolyn argues that whether they were read or entered into the minutes at the First Zionist Congress in 1897, in Basle, Switzerland,  or not makes no difference to their credibility as a real, historical plan to control the political and financial workings of the entire world.  Hadding maintains his position that The Protocols are not only inauthentic, but in some ways misleading.

They then begin Chapter 15,  Is the Jewish “Kahal” the Modern “Soviet”?

KAHAL, an executive board that was chosen to run an autonomous Jewish community. A kahal served as a Jewish community council, or as a decision-making committee of a kehilah. Throughout the history of the Jewish Diaspora, even before the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, the Jewish community was organized as a self-governing community, running its internal affairs according to its own laws, later codified as halakhah and continuously amended and supplemented by time-bound statutes and legislation known as takanot. … from Yivo Institute

Hadding Scott and Carolyn Yeager read and comment on Chapter 12, “Jewish Protocols” Claim Partial Fulfillment, after they complete Chapter 11 left from last week:  “Jewish Estimate” of Gentile Human Nature. 

Chapt. 11 ends with a description of the society the Protocols are aiming for – one in which Gentiles are deeply divided against each other. Chapt.12 looks at how the Protocols are written in the present tense, indicating that much of the desired objectives have already been accomplished. This includes the subverting of Economics, making people believe that theories are laws. The same subversion has been done with justice and the courts, with religion, with literature, with education and culture.  Also mentioned is the demoralization of our youth via Jewish control of our youth agencies. The writers of The International Jew then speak out against what they call “luxury” in the form of knick-knacks and gew-gaws, cheap jewelry, and even “Coney Island” type recreations – saying that these, though “pleasant,” materially and spiritually devastate a people.

Carolyn Yeager and Hadding Scott read and comment on Chapter 11:  “Jewish” Estimate of Gentile Human Nature

This is the first of several chapters which analyze in depth the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, a book that was causing a great stir in 1920-21 and which was taken seriously by Henry Ford and his editors and writers. Ford, however, did not insist the book was a genuine Jewish world plan. As he says in this chapter:  “And whether these Protocols are of Jewish origin or not, whether they represent Jewish interests or not, this is exactly the state of the world, of the Gentile world, today.”

It’s up to each student to consider the question of authenticity for him/herself.
