Really? I have a few myself. Not so much that this thread has effortlessly segued into a discussion of the usefulness and prescience of the
Protocols, though - that was probably the inevitable, even natural course for it to take, imo.

No, that's incorrect. A forgery is an object made specifically to deceive. It can be an adaptation, a pastiche, or an imitation, but its imitative quality is not the essence of what makes it a forgery, rather it is the quality of deception that lies at the impetus of its construction. The
Hitler Diaries associated with David Irving were forgeries, but without an original. The same can be said of van Meegeren's religious Vermeer paintings. The
Protocols are obviously of this ilk, scabbed together from a variety of sources - some of them noted by compared2what? above - and passed off as genuine without having any identifiable original.
As you say, be careful of the definitions.
Whose plan is it? If that is not obvious to most around here then all can say is...duhhhhh
I have to mention how much I dislike postulations such as this, as I can only imagine a few reasons why anyone would create a cryptic statement like that, avoiding at all costs the plain-speaking honesty that might allow for real discussion. Either:
- You have no real idea what you're talking about but want to sound like you have the goods, or
- You know what you want to say but are for some reason afraid to do so.
Neither of these reasons are big confidence builders, btw. You're sitting in front of a keyboard typing - why can't you simply say what you mean? I assure you it's not at all obvious.
Surely you have learned by now that I NEVER SAY THINGS WITHOUT MY CITES IN MY POCKET.
Please.

The writhing contortions that have been gone through here to justify support for Mr. Atzmon's more incendiary statements would make a snake proud.
