The Protocols have a history too, all the way back to the settling of America.
In 1492, chief rabbi Chemor of Spain wrote to the Grand Sanhedrin court for advice concerning the matter of the Jews being expelled from Spain that year (to end the accomplished subjection of the social order they had engineered and implemented up to that time there). Their reply was published in a book called La Siva Curiosa, by Julio-Iniguez de Medrano, published by Paris Orry in 1608. On pages 156 and 157, the following reply from the Sanhedrin court is reprinted in Spanish. It can also be found in other books.
In English, it reads as follows:
Beloved brethren in Moses, we have received your letter in which you tell us of the anxieties and misfortunes you are enduring. We are pierced by as great pain to hear it as yourselves.
The advice of the Grand Satraps and Rabbis is the following:
-
As for what you say that the King of Spain obliges you to become Christians: do it, since you cannot do otherwise.
-
As for what you say about the command to despoil you of your property: make your sons merchants that they may despoil, little by little, the Christians of theirs.
-
As for what you say about making attempts on your lives: make your sons doctors and apothecaries, that they may take away Christian's lives.
-
As for what you say about destroying your synagogues: make your sons canons and clerics in order that they may destroy their churches.
-
As for the many other vexations you complain of: arrange that your sons become advocates and lawyers, and see that they always mix in affairs of State, that by putting Christians under your yoke you may dominate the world and be avenged upon them.
-
Do not swerve from this order that we give you, because you will find by experience that as humiliated as you are, you will reach the actuality of power.
