-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: Scarlet and the Beast - A History of the War Between English and French Freemasonry by John Daniel (C)1994 Chapter 13 -- part 3 of 3 THE PROTOCOLS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF SION Protocols of Sion and the Priory of Sion The authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail suggest that the Priory of Sion, and not the Reform Jews, was connected to the Protocols of Sion in Russia. The authors build their case around Rosicrucian French Masons who had worked their way into the good graces of Czar Nicholas II. Here is their story: The role of Rasputin at the court of Nicholas and Alexandra of Russia is more or less generally known. It is not generally known, however, that there were influential, even powerful esoteric enclaves at the Russian court long before Rasputin. During the 1890s and 1900s one such enclave formed itself around an individual known as Monsieur Philippe and around his mentor, who made periodic visits to the imperial court at Petersburg. And Monsieur Philippe's mentor was none other than the man called Papus.(82) Papus (1865-1916), a Gentile, was the Masonic code name for Dr. Gerard Encausse, a 33rd degree Mason from Paris, who became the occult adviser of the ill-fated Czar Nicholas II.(83) Papus was Grand Master of both Memphis and Mizraim Freemasonries, the two Rosicrucian lodges that had merged in 1875. One of Papus's acquaintances was Claude Debussy (1862-1918), a famous composer who set a number of Victor Hugo's poems to music. Debussy was the next Grand Master of the Priory of Sion following Hugo's death in 1885, and reigned in that position until 1918.(84) Freemason A.E. Waite tells us that in 1894 Papus was also the Grand Master of the Martinist Masonic Supreme Council in Paris. Martinism admitted both male and female members on equal terms. This Order had a number of lodges throughout Europe and Russia. Chapters were also established in Great Britain, the United States, Argentina and Guatemala, as well as throughout the Orient.(85) Martinism was originally founded in 1754 by a Rosicrucian Spanish Jew named Martines de Pasqually, or Martinez Paschalis. The emblem for this branch of Freemasonry consists of six dots, which we have learned in a previous chapter is a subtle form of the Masonic six-pointed star. The six-pointed star is the same herald of the Priory of Sion, the Mizraim Masonic Lodge and Zionism.(86) Pasqually's Lodges were first organized at Marseilles, Toulouse, and Bordeaux, then in Paris. Before long Rosicrucian Martinist lodges spread all over France, with the center at Lyons. Martinism was thought to have been a Jewish secret society. It was operated, however in the same manner as was the Mizraim Lodge, in that Jews and Gentiles alike were members. Behind the scenes, however, was the Priory of Sion, distinguished by the Rose-Croix capstone in Martinist Lodges. Nesta Webster explains: "After the first three Craft degrees came the Cohen degrees of the same -- Apprentice Cohen, Fellow Craft Cohen, and Master Cohen -- then those of Grand Architect, Grand Elect of Zerubbabel of Knight of the East; but above these were concealed degrees leading up to the Rose-Croix, which formed the capstone of the ediflce."(87) Webster also claims that Martinist "disciples inherited from Pasqually a large number of Jewish manuscripts."(88) She leaves the reader with the impression that these manuscripts are none other than the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Sion -- in existence a full century before they were stolen from its sister Mizraim lodge in 1884.(89) If so, these documents may only have suggested Judaic origins because of the Davidic claims expressed within them by the Priory of Sion. A century later the stamp of "Priory of Sion" is even more evident on Martinism when a Freemason named Alphonse Louis Constant (1810-1875) joined the Martinist Order. Constant was a Gentile Mason who assumed the Jewish name -- Eliphas Levi. This is the same Eliphas Levi who assisted the Grand Master of Sion, Charles Nodier, in methodically sifting and cataloging thousands of Templar documents looted from the Vatican by Napoleon Bonaparte. Levi was also acquainted with Nodier's successor, Victor Hugo. After Levi joined the Martinist Masonic lodge, the lodge merged with both the Memphis and Mizraim Lodges. Levi apparently had access to the forgotten Protocol documents in the Mizraim Lodge a decade before they were discovered in 1884 Webster informs us that "[b]efore his death in 1875 Eliphas Levi announced that in 1879 a new political and religious 'universal Kingdom' would be established, and that it would be possessed by 'him who would have the keys of the East."(90) Three Protocols have significant relationship to this prophecy: Protocol 15: When the King of Israel sets upon his sacred head the crown offered him by Europe he will become patriarch of the world. Protocol 17: The King of the Jews will be the real Pope of the Universe, the patriarch of an international Church. Protocol 24: I pass now to the method of confirming the dynastic roots of King David to the last strata of the earth. The prop of humanity in the person of the supreme lord of all the world of the holy seed of David must sacrifice to his people all personal inclinations. These Protocols are highly suggestive of the Priory of Sion, those who claim to be of the seed of David. Eliphas Levi most likely was referring to Sion's King of Jerusalem cult when he prophesied, "A new political and religious 'universal Kingdom' will be established, and it will be possessed by 'him who would have the keys of the East."' The authors of Holy Blood inform us that Victor Hugo and Eliphas Levi were both members of the same Martinist Lodge.(91) As we have seen, Victor Hugo was associated with Maurice Joly and Adolphe Cremieux in the sister Lodge of Mizraim Freemasonry. Papus, who was Grand Master of both the Mizraim and Memphis lodges, was also a Martinist, and acquainted himself with Hugo's successor Claude Debussy. All these men, except Cremieux, were Gentiles. This circumstantial evidence points to the Priory of Sion as the author of the Protocols. In the Old Testament, King Solomon himself, who is revered by all Masons, says in Proverbs 14:9, "The common bond of rebels is their guilt."(92) In other words, these Masonic rebels are guilty by association. French Martinism and English Freemasonry English Freemason A.E. Waite states that French Martinism had shut its doors to Masons belonging to English Freemasonry.(93) Yet Edith Miller, in Appendix IV of Occult Theocrasy, reproduced a private letter dated March 26, 1906, from one "Dorec" to 33rd degree Grand Orient Mason Theodore Reuss, informing him that 33rd degree English Mason John Yarker was the Martinist delegate in London.(94) Miller claims the existence of another private letter, in which Papus refers to himself as the delegate of John Yarker for the Swedenborg Rite in France. Correspondence of this nature between the most noteworthy Masons of that day contradicts Mr. Waite and reveals that Mr. Waite is spreading disinformation by alleging a feud between English Masonry and French Martinism where none exists.(95) It is true that Rosicrucian English Freemasonry severed fellowship in 1877 with Templar French Grand Orient Freemasonry. However Martinism is not Grand Orient Templarism, but rather, Rosicrucianism. Naturally there would be a tie to English Freemasonry. Obviously the French Martinists would want to keep this familial tie secret in order to keep abreast of the developments in Templar French Masonry. Martinism apparently functioned as an intelligence lodge for English Freemasonry, as did Mizraim. Later the two merged with Memphis, their English counterpart. A.E. Waite could not have been ignorant of this fact. If cognizant, he would have published an opposing view in an attempt to hide the facts. His motive would be to protect Rosicrucian Orders on the Continent, which were subversive to the Templar Grand Orient. No other interpretation makes sense of why the hierarchy of the Templar Grand Orient -- Dorec and Reuss -- would expose the connection. Apparently, Rosicrucian Martinism was a front for the Priory of Sion. English Freemasonry used it as an intelligence gathering lodge in the same manner as it did the Mizraim Lodge. Both having similar doctrine, they merged in 1875. As the Mizraim Masonic Lodge provided for Great Britain moles in the French Templar Scottish Rite Lodge, through double agents such as Cremieux and Levi, so Papus served in that same capacity when Mizraim merged with Martinism following the deaths of Levi and Cremieux in 1875 and 1880. There are other Martinist ties to British Freemasonry. In 1887 Martinist Freemason Papus joined the Theosophist Society, a Rosicrucian order headquartered in New York, with a branch in Paris. The Theosophist Society was founded in 1875 by female Freemason Helena Blavatsky, who moved her headquarters from New York to London in 1887. In 1891 Papus helped found the Gnostic Catholic Church. In 1895 he became a member of the Order of the Golden Dawn, an English Masonic Rosicrucian order founded in 1887 in London, with a branch in the Paris Lodge Ahathoor. In 1902 Papus became Grand Master of the newly formed homicidal Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) at Paris, a spin-off of the Golden Dawn. In 1899 Philippe de Lyon, protege of Papus, went to Russia and established the Priory of Sion's Martinist lodge at the imperial court, possibly initiating Grigorii Rasputin, since it is known that Grigorii was a Martinist. Philippe was introduced to the Imperial Court first, oddly enough, by the same man who was Rasputin's sinister adviser, the anti-Zionist and Reform Jew, Manoussevitch Manouilof (see chapter 19). In 1900 Papus followed Philippe to St. Petersburg, where Papus became a confidant of the Czar and Czarina. Papus visited Russia on at least three occasions, the last in 1906. When he became Grand Master in France of London's O.T.O., Papus then carried the rituals of this homicidal Masonic lodge to Russia, initiating many Russians in St. Petersburg in preparation for the Russian Revolution. Papus died on October 25, 1916, one year before he could taste the rotten fruits of his labor in the bloody Bolshevik Revolution.(96) Substantial evidence suggests that high Masons in France, England and Russia were involved in the Russian Revolution. In fact communications were shuttled back and forth between Europe and Russia prior to the Bolshevik Revolution by high Masons. Among them were 33rd degree John Yarker, who represented the Martinist Order at London; 33rd degree Papus, who, according to Miller's documents, was under the control of Yarker; Freemason Philippe, who was the mentor of Papus; and Rasputin, who in turn was the Martinist mole in the Royal Court at St. Petersburg following Philippe. All these High Masons were Gentiles, not Jews. As evidenced by the Masonic activities between Russia and France at the turn of the 20th century, both English and French Freemasonry were cooperating in fomenting the Russian Revolution. These activities, with the arrival of the stolen Protocols taken from a French lodge and carried to Russia, were significant in stopping Zionism at the Russian border. In 1903 the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Sion were first translated into Russian and published. Whether engineered by this coalition of subversives or not, the events which led up to their circulation could not have been by accident. The authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail outline the sequence of events. The Protocols were stolen from the Mizraim Lodge in 1884 and taken to Russia by Mlle. Justine Glinka. She gave a copy to Alexis Sukhotin, the marshal of the district of Orel who in turn showed them to two friends, Stepanov and a contemptible old man named Sergei Nilus. In 1903 Nilus presented the Protocols to the Czar. The Czar, who had placed himself under the occult council of the two subversive Freemasons, Philippe and Rasputin, declared the document to be an outrageous fabrication and ordered all copies of it destroyed. Nilus was banished from the court in disgrace.(97) The document, or a copy of it, survived. In 1903 it was serialized in a newspaper, but failed to attract interest, In 1905 it was published again as an appendix to a book by a distinguished mystical philosopher, Vladimir Soloviov. This time it began to attract attention. In following years it became one of the single most infamous documents of the twentieth century.(98) Protocols of the Priory of Sion The authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail argue strongly that the Protocols have a Masonic source -- the Priory of Sion: Modern scholars have dismissed them as a total forgery, a wholly spurious document concocted by anti-Semitic interests intent on discrediting Judaism. And yet the Protocols themselves argue strongly against such a conclusion. They contain, for example, a number of enigmatic references -- references that are clearly not Judaic. But these references are so clearly not Judaic that they cannot plausibly have been fabricated by a forger, either. No anti-Semitic forger with even a modicum of intelligence would possibly have concocted such references in order to discredit Judaism. For no one would have believed these references to be of Judaic origin. Thus, for instance, the text of the Protocols ends with a single statement, "Signed by the representatives of Sion of the 33rd Degree." Why would an anti-Semitic forger have made up such a statement? Why would he not have attempted to incriminate all Jews, rather than just a few -- the few who constitute "the representatives of Sion of the 33rd Degree?" Why would he not declare that the document was signed by, say, the representatives of the international Judaic congress? In fact, the "representatives of Sion of the 33rd Degree" would hardly seem to refer to Judaism at all, or to any "international Jewish conspiracy." If anything, it would seem to refer to something specifically Masonic. The Protocols contain other even more flagrant anomalies. The text speaks repeatedly, for example, of the advent of a "Masonic kingdom." The authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail concluded: "On the basis of prolonged and systematic research we reached certain conclusions about the Protocols of the Elders of Sion. They are: 1. There was an original text on which the published version of the Protocols was based. This original text was not a forgery. On the contrary, it was authentic. But it had nothing whatever to do with Judaism or an "international Jewish conspiracy." It issued, rather, from some Masonic organization or Masonically oriented secret society that incorporated the word "Sion." 2. The original text on which the published version of the Protocols was based need not have been provocative or inflammatory in its language. But it may very well have included a program for gaining power, for infiltrating Freemasonry, for controlling social, political, and economic institutions. 3. The original text on which the published version of the Protocols was based fell into the hands of Sergei Nilus. Nilus did not at first intend it to discredit Judaism. On the contrary, he brought it to the czar with the intention of discrediting the esoteric enclave at the imperial court -- the enclave of Papus, Monsieur Philippe, and others who were members of the secret society in question. Before doing so he almost certainly doctored the language, rendering it far more venomous and inflammatory than it initially was. When the czar spurned him, Nilus then released the Protocols for publication in their doctored form. They had failed in their primary objective of compromising Papus and Monsieur Philippe. But they might still serve a secondary purpose -- that of fostering anti-Semitism. Although Nilus' chief targets had been Papus and Monsieur Philippe, he was hostile to Judaism as well. 4. The published version of the Protocols is not, therefore, a totally fabricated text. It is, rather, a radically altered text. But despite the alterations certain vestiges of the original version can be discerned.... These vestiges -- which referred to a king, a Pope, an international church, and to Sion -- probably meant little or nothing to Nilus. He certainly would not have invented them himself. But if they were already there, he would have had no reason, given his ignorance, to excise them. And while such vestiges might have been irrelevant to Judaism, they might have been extremely relevant to a secret society. As we learned subsequently, they were -- and still are -- of paramount importance to the Prieure de Sion.(99) The authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail conclude that the Protocols issued from the 33rd Degree Supreme Council of the Rite of Mizraim, which in turn is controlled by the Priory of Sion! They were "signed by the representatives of Sion of the 33rd Degree." The phrase "representatives of Sion" does not imply that the signatories were part of a group called "Sion," but rather, is indicative of agents, or, shall we say, a front for some organization which incorporates the name "Sion": namely the Priory of Sion. The Mizraim Lodge was that front. The mistake made by the Supreme Council of Mizraim is the mistake made by all Freemasonry. It never destroys any of its written work. Every word spoken in every Supreme Council throughout the world is recorded and safeguarded for posterity. A handful of modern conspiracy researchers link the covert Priory of Sion to the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Sion. These investigators do not see the Protocols associated in any way with genuine Jewish Zionism that exists overtly. J.R. Church is one of them. He said, 'The title itself, which mentions the 'learned elders of Zion,' seems to refer to the mystery religion of the so-called Holy Grail and to the Priory of Sion organized by Godfroi de Bouillon in 1099 for the purpose of establishing a world government and providing a Merovingian king for its throne."(100) Commentary on the Protocols of Sion Protocol 1: Our power in the present tottering condition of all forms of power will be more invisible than any other, because it will remain invisible until the moment when it has gained such strength that no cunning can any longer undermine it. Before us is a plan in which is laid down strategically the line from which we cannot deviate without running the risk of seeing the labour of many centuries brought to naught. This Protocol describes an organism that houses a hidden "power." We believe the organism is Freemasonry housing the Priory of Sion. It was the Priory of Sion that founded the Rose-Croix, which In turn founded English Freemasonry. This began many centuries ago, as the Protocol indicates. The statement, "Before us is a plan... the line from which we cannot deviate without running the risk of seeing the labour of many centuries brought to naught," suggests that Sion is in serious trouble. Perhaps this refers to the establishment of the unexpected movement of Zionism in Russia. The "plan" which is "before us" may also refer to a takeover of Russia to stop the Zionist movement. Protocol 3: To-day [sic] I may tell you that our goal is now only a few steps off. There remains a small space to cross and the whole long path we have trodden is ready now to close its cycle of the Symbolic Snake, by which we symbolize our people. When this ring closes, all the States of Europe will be locked in its coil as in a powerful vise. When the hour strikes for our Sovereign Lord of all the World to be crowned it is these same hands which will sweep away everything that might be a hindrance thereto. "Ours" they will not touch, because the moment of attack will be known to us and we shall take measures to protect our own. Ever since that time we have been leading the peoples from one disenchantment to another, so that in the end they should turn also from us in favour of that King-Despot of the blood of Sion, whom we are preparing for the world. The symbols referred to in this Protocol are of course Rosicrucian. The symbol of the Priory of Sion's Rosicrucian Order is a rose representing the Serpent, wormed around the upright part of the Christian Cross. The second symbol of the Rosicrucians was the circle, or snake biting its own tail, superimposed on the Christian cross. This same symbol of the snake is incorporated in the 33rd degree Masonic Jewel (Appendix 2, Fig. 7). Dr. John Coleman, a retired British intelligence officer, states in Black Nobility Unmasked, that the Monarchs of Europe have always referred to themselves as "Crowned Cobras." The monarchs of Europe carry the Grail blood. All of them, according to Coleman, are Masons of the British obedience. The statement: "'Ours' they will not touch," etc., eliminates the possibility that the Protocol is Jewish. If the Protocols outlined a Jewish conspiracy, the "our" would have evaded the holocaust of Hitler, according to this Protocol. Yet, after World War II it was Freemasonry, as we shall learn in chapter 24, that came back stronger than ever, founding the United Nations. Finally, this Protocol identifies the Priory of Sion with the statement "King-Despot of the blood of Sion, whom we are preparing for the world." This obviously refers to Sion's reigning "King of Jerusalem." Protocol 4: Who and what is in a position to overthrow an invisible force? And this is precisely what our force is. Gentile masonry [sic] blindly serves as a screen for us and our objects, but the plan of action of our force, even its very abiding-place, remains for the whole people an unknown mystery. As we have seen, the Priory of Sion's kings believe themselves to be Jews. When the Priory founded Freemasonry, it was mainly Gentiles who joined. Gentiles are its predominant members and leaders. Naturally the Priory would call Freemasonry "Gentile Masonry." Protocol 5: In place of the rulers of to-day [sic] we shall set up a bogey which will be called the Super-Government Administration. Its hands will reach out in all direction like nippers and its organization will be of such colossal dimensions that it cannot fail to subdue all the nations of the world. What is the "bogey" that is to be called "the Super-Government Administration?" There are two possibilities here. First, this could refer to Russian Communism, which would be used to conquer the world. The top governing power in the U.S.S.R. was called the Supreme Soviet. Soviet in Russian means Council. In other words, it was the Supreme Council that ruled former Soviet Russia, the same Supreme Council we find in 33rd degree Freemasonry. Second, this body could be the League of Nations. Following World War I, as we shall see in chapter 21, the League was founded by French Freemasonry. After World War II, English Freemasonry founded the United Nations. The United States of Europe will be a reality by 1993. We shall learn that it too is of Masonic origin. From this may come the world kingdom of the Beast -- the ultimate "bogey." Protocol 8: We shall surround our government with a whole world of economists. That is the reason why economic sciences [work] [They come] from the principal subject of the teaching given to the Jews. Around us again will be a whole constellation of bankers, industrialists, capitalists and -- the main thing -- millionaires, because in substance everything will be settled by the question of figures. Notice this Protocol mentions the "Jews," but in a disconnected sense, as if they are used by the conspiracy for their economic prowess alone. This Protocol suggests why English Freemasonry is overloaded with Jewish bankers and economists. The Priory of Sion admits that Jews are superior economically. Incidentally, the word "Jew" is mentioned only twice in the Protocols, and both times in a disconnected sense. Protocol 10: These schemes will not turn existing institutions upside down just yet. They will only affect changes in their economy and consequently in the whole combined movement of their progress, which will thus be directed along the paths laid down in our schemes. By such measures we shall obtain the power of destroying little by little, step by step, all that at the outset when we enter on our rights, we are compelled to introduce into the constitutions of States to prepare for the transition to an imperceptible abolition of every kind of constitution, and then the time is come to turn every form of government into our despotism. This Protocol enunciates the format of English Freemasonry, called "gradualism," whereas its adversary, French Masonry, takes over rapidly and viciously. Protocol 15: When the King of Israel sets upon his sacred head the crown offered him by Europe he will become patriarch of the world. Twelve royal families in Europe today have Grail blood flowing through their veins. Two of them carry the title of "King of Jerusalem:" Otto von Habsburg, Pretender to the Austrian throne, and Juan Carlos, King of Spain. Protocol 17: The King of the Jews will be the real Pope of the Universe, the patriarch of an international Church. But, in the meantime, while we are re-educating youth in new traditional religions and afterwards in ours, we shall not overtly lay a finger on existing churches, but we shall fight them by criticism calculated to produce schism.... Notice that "The King of the Jews" will replace the Pope. Jews would not be concerned with replacing the Pope. They do not even recognize the Church. On the other hand, the Priory of Sion used the Catholic Church to build its empire. It was subject to the Roman Church for centuries, but withdrew during the Reformation, and through Freemasonry became adversarial to the Church. Naturally, the Priory would want to call their king "the real Pope of the Universe." Also, notice the reference to New Age religion. Before the New Age can be perfected, the Protocol states that "criticism" must first divide the Church. This "criticism" is likely the new "Biblical criticism," the sources of which Orthodox Rabbi Marvin Antelman has revealed to us. In his book, To Eliminate The Opiate, he devotes a whole chapter entitled "The Birth of Biblical Criticism" to the subject. He lays Biblical Criticism at the feet of the Frankist-Reform Jews who were protected by illuminated Masonic lodges in Germany. Rabbi Antelman confirms that Biblical criticism did not originate with Orthodox Jews, but rather, was orchestrated by apostate Jews bent on the destruction of Judeo-Christian religion. Protocol 20: We shall so hedge about our system of accounting that neither the ruler nor the most insignificant public servant will be in a position to divert even the smallest sum from its destination [sic] with-out detection or to direct it in another direction except that which will be once fixed in a definite plan of action. Is this the Mark of the Beast? Protocol 24: I pass now to the method of confirming the dynastic roots of King David to the last strata of the earth. Certain members of the seed of David will prepare the kings and their heirs, selecting not by right of heritage but by eminent capacities, inducting them into the most secret mysteries of the political, into schemes of government, but providing always that none may come to knowledge of the secrets. The object of this mode of action is that all may know that government cannot be entrusted to those who have not been inducted into the secret places of its art. The king's plans of action for the current moment, and all the more so for the future, will be unknown, even to those who are called his closest counselors. Only the king and the three who stood sponsor for him will know what is coming. The prop of humanity in the person of the supreme lord of all the world of the holy seed of David must sacrifice to his people all personal inclinations. The Priory of Sion is the protector of the so-called seed of King David. Notice in the second paragraph the statement that many kings and their heirs are being prepared, but only one will be selected. There are twelve royal families of Grail blood in Europe today. The entire 24th Protocol seems to describe the "hidden hand" in the Priory of Sion, which we believe is housed in the 33rd degree of English Freemasonry. pp 333- 372 --notes-- Chapter 13 1.

One is that they were published in 1903 under the direction of Czar Nicholas II, for which he invested the staggering sum of thirteen million rubles, and encouraged Nilus to prepare it. This theory was one of the first to be promoted, before it was discovered that there was an original in French, and that the documents were stolen in 1884 from a French Masonic Lodge. Some still promote this theory, although it has long since been discredited. 98. Baigent 190- 195. 99. Baigent. 100. Church 169. pp 824- 827 .
