What planet do you live on? Have you spent your entire life surfing conspiracy sites on the internet? If you knew <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>anything at all</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> about the world, you would understand what purpose this forgery was meant to serve. And you would know how it has been used. The Protocols was used by the Russian Czar to rally public support around him, the state, and the flag in the face of this fake external and internal enemy (sounds familiar?). It was used by Hitler, Goebbels et al. to "condition" the German people to accept persecution on Jews. The better-educated Germans had less of an excuse than the Russian peasants for believing it was real, but that's a testimony to the efficacy of state propaganda. And today, it's still a favorite of white power groups, neo-Nazis, and radical Islamists, who for the most part don't even believe it's real, but, like toscaveritas, find, ahem, great literary value in it. <br><br>Why is it still popular? Because it purports to show that one specific ethnic group - the Jews - are behind everything that's wrong with the world. <br><br>Don't give me that disengenous bullshit about "taking the ethnicity out and look at the contents in regards to world events". The Protocols was written as a propaganda tool to blame the Jews. For <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>everything</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. Pray tell, what is it they can tell us about "world events"? <br><br>Even if you don't know <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>anything</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> about the history of the 20th century, and the role the Protocols played in events like the Holocaust (yes, it did happen), just a cursory reading of it would make it obvious that a) it's not the real minutes of a real meeting, and b) it's written for the sole purpose of creating a convenient scapegoat for common people's hardships, for "subversive" political movements like liberalism and socialism, and of creating support for the aristocratic-monarchic rulers of late 19th century Europe.<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>take the jewish angle out of the content and replace it with what you wish<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br>Any convenient scapegoat will do, in other words. <p><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:black;font-family:century gothic;font-size:x-small;"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Qutb means "axis," "pole," "the center," which contains the periphery or is present in it.
