- ead the following declassified United States
Military Intelligence Division Report on the Protocols
of Zion and you will see that the US MID believed the
Protocols to be authentic. Everything else is just
Zionist noise.
-
- THE POWER AND AIMS OF INTERNATIONAL JEWRY
-
- The below given report is a U.S. War Department
investigation and evaluation of issues generated by
Jewish power. It was compiled in August 1919 and given
SECRET classification until 1973.
-
- A hard copy of this document may be obtained from
U.S. National Archives in Washington DC, - its number is
245-1.

-
- THE POWER AND AIMS OF INTERNATIONAL JEWRY
-
- The recent emphasis in American public opinion
placed on the part the Jews have been taking in world
events, has seemed to warrant the Department in
undertaking a preliminary study of the particular
matters in controversy and also the larger question of
the scope of Jewish influence in world affairs today.
Among the more important points around which controversy
has waged are:
-
- I. The authenticity of the so-called Jewish
Protocols, which purport to set forth a Jewish plan,
centuries old, of world domination.
-
- II. The question of how far Jewry as such is
connected with Bolshevism, not only in the Soviet
Government of Russia and Hungary, but in all the other
countries of the world and particularly Germany and the
United States.
-
- III. The various phases of the Polish question:
-
- (a) Whether the Jewish anti-Polish propaganda in the
United States has been based on actual widespread Jewish
Pogroms in Poland, or
-
- (b) Whether, on the contrary, the stories of pogroms
have been greatly exaggerated as a part of a deliberate
Zionist propaganda to get for the Jews in Poland
minority rights which both factions of American Poles
publicly denounce as amounting to the creation of a
state within a state.
-
- (c) How serious is the nation-wide secret boycott
against all Jews and Jewish goods recently started by
the American Poles and other Slavic sympathizers ?
-
- [page 2 of doc. begins]
-
- It is self evident that in controversies such as
these the Jews are strongly on the defensive on one side
while the Slavic peoples are bitter in their
denunciation upon the other. The important thing for us,
however, is the fact that Americans in the main do not
sense the situation nor appreciate its dangerous
possibilities. Unfortunately there is too much truth in
the charge made by the Slavs that the reasons for this
is that the American press is so largely owned and
controlled by the Jews. Witness the fact that the
so-called Jewish Protocols which constitute by far the
most serious charge against the Jews of those above
enumerated, have never been mentioned in any American
publication other than the official report of the Senate
Judiciary Committee containing the testimony about the
Protocols.
-
- I. THE JEWISH PROTOCOLS:
-
- The so-called Jewish Protocols purport to be the
official pronouncement of the program of Jewish world
domination drawn up by Theodore Herzl the founder of the
modern Zionist movement and presented by him in 1897 to
the inner circle of the first Zionist Congress at Basle,
Switzerland. A summary of them was first published in
Russia about 1905 by Serge Nilus who claims to have had
a copy stolen from the Zionist files in France. In 1915
[barely legible on doc. possibly reads 1916] Nilus wrote
another book entitled "IT IS NEAR RIGHT AT THE DOOR",
dealing largely with the danger of the Jew in world
affairs. Here he sets out what he claims to be the full
and exact translation of the Protocols. This book was
published early in 1917 at a Russian Monastery near
Moscow, but shortly after the first Russian Revolution
of 1917 it was ordered suppressed and so even in that
country it was exceedingly difficult to obtain.
-
- [page 3 of doc. begins]
-
- Dr. George A. Simons testifying before the Senate
Committee said (Pages 135, 136 and 137 of the Record):
-
- Senator Nelson: Are Lenine and Trotsky Yiddish ?
-
- Mr. Simons: Lenine is from a very fine old Russian
family, so we are told, and is intellectually a very
able man. A fanatic, he was called the brains of this
movement. Trotsky is a Jew. His real name is Leon
Bronstein.
-
- Senator King: Why are they so bitter toward
religion, especially the Christian religion ?
-
- Mr. Simons: There is a gentleman here in America who
last night called on me, Dr. Harris A. Houghton, I think
is his full name. I knew him out in Bay Side when I was
the pastor of that church. He called on me last night.
He is a Captain in the United States Army. I had not
seen him for six years. He asked me whether I knew
anything about the anti-Christian element in the
Bolshevik regime. I said, "Indeed I do". I do know all
about it." He said, "Did you ever come across the
so-called Jewish protocols ?" I said "Yes, I have had
them." "I have a memorandum" he said, "and last winter
after much trouble I came into possession of a book
which was called "REDUSTI, ANTI-CHRIST." Now, Dr.
Houghton in the meantime had investigated this. He had
come into possession of this book, which is quite rare
now, because it was said that when the edition came out
it was immediately bought up by the Jews in Petrograd
and Moscow. That book reflects a real organization. That
book is of some consequence. But the average person in
official life here in Washington and elsewhere is afraid
to handle it. Houghton says that even in his
intelligence bureau they were afraid of it.
-
- Senator King: Tell us about the book. What is bad
about it ? Is it anti-Christian ?
-
- Mr. Simons: It is anti-Christian and it shows what
this secret Jewish society has been doing in order to
make a conquest of the world, and to make the Christian
forces as ineffective as possible, and finally to have
the whole world, if you please, in their grip; and now
in that book ever so many things are said with regard to
their program and their methods, which devetail into the
Bolshevik regime. It just looks as if that connected in
some way.
-
- Now, I have no animus against the Jews, but I have a
great passion for truth: If there is anything in it I
think we ought to know. The man who wrote it is
considered a truth-loving man, a man held in the highest
esteem by the authorities of the Russian Orthodox
Church. ******
-
- Senator Nelson: In this book that you refer to is
there anything that goes to show that this Bolshevik
government of Russia are supporting, directly or
indirectly, this book of protocols ?
-
- [page 4 of doc. begins]
-
- Mr. Simons: Before answering that question I should
like to see that translation, because I do not know how
this thing has been done. (A pamphlet was handed to the
witness.)
-
- Senator Nelson: You have seen the original book ?
-
- Mr. Simons: Yes. Some very finely educated Russian
generals of note have told me that they considered this
as an authentic thing, and they say the marvelous part
of it is that nearly all of that is being executed under
the Bolsheviki.
-
- It is true by his extravagant statements since
giving this testomony Dr. Simons has been somewhat
discredited. However, while on the stand, under oath, he
spoke with unusual care, and other people who had been
in Russia at the time covered by his testimony were
unable to criticize his story. Those of his statements
reprinted in the press brought out the first public
condemnation of Bolshevism by such Jewish leaders in
America as Louis Marshall.
-
- Recently the Department was able to examine what is
said to be the only copy now in the United States of
this Nilus book containing the Protocols. At that time
photostatic copies of the Russian text were made for the
Department files.
-
- As stated above, there has been no reference in the
press to the existence or the contents of the Protocols,
nor to Dr. Simons testimony concerning them, although
there was wide publicity to this more general charges as
to the part the Jews were taking in the Bolshevik
Government and an equally wide publicity to the vigorous
denial of leading American Jews to this letter charge.
Nevertheless, the testimony concerning the Protocols,
which was given at an open public hearing and which has
recently been published in the official Senate Report,
has given them a certain limited publicity. We have been
informed at second hand that an English translation of
the Protocols has been shown to Justice Brandeis and
Jacob Schiff each of whom vigorously disclaimed their
authenticity, Mr. Schiff asserting that they are a
creation of German propagandists. This explanation seems
almost impossible considering the circumstances of the
Russian publication - facts which
-
- [page 5 of doc. begins]
-
- perhaps were not made known to him, at the time he
saw the translation, much less probable than the
suggestion said to have been made by Justice Brandeis
that the Protocols are the creation of a fanatic Russian
anti-Semite.
-
- It is not the purpose of this memorandum to make any
argument toward establishing their genuineness. As
previously stated, [hand written insert illegible] the
Protocols are attributed to Herzl himself and one
certainly must note the identity of thought found in the
Protocols on the one hand and in Herzl's public
writings, and in the writings of other prominent past
and contemporary Jewish leaders on the other. (Note 1.)
-
- Note 1:
-
- Protocol 1, page 1: "According to the law of being
might is right."
-
- Protocol 1, page 3: "Our right lies in force."
-
- Herzl, "The Jewish State", page 2: "For this, as
indeed every point which arises in the commerce of
nations, is a question of might. ******* In the world of
today and for an indefinite period, it will probably
remain so, might precious right."
-
- A number of similar illustrations such as the
quotations relating to the "Terrible power of the Jewish
purse" are set out in Appendix A.
-
- [page 6 of doc. begins]
-
- Some of the important events which have occurred
since 1897 have fulfilled in a striking manner the
predictions and aims expressed in the Protocols
themselves. (Note 2.)
-
- Furthermore, it is impossible to read far in the
Protocols and in the public writings of Hess, Herzl and
other Jewish Leaders without being impressed with the
constant reiteration of certain fundamental principles
and ideals. Among the more important of these around
which the forces of Jewry are now rallying are the
following:
