[edit intro]

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a document alleging that the Jews and the Masons are secretly part of a conspiracy for world domination[1]. It was written in Russia and first published in 1903. It is now widely accepted to be a plagiarised forgery and hoax. The sources of the plagiarised content include Maurice Joly's Dialogue aux enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu and Hermann Goedsche's Biarritz. The document itself is split into twenty-five sections, describing methods by which the Jews are supposed to enforce control over the population, including propagation of radical ideas and philosophies, economic wars, government centralization, the use of atheism as a way to destroy Christianity, Islam and other religions, world government and false flag operations.

The Protocols was used as a justification for the Holocaust and has since become highly referenced by those in the conspiracy theory community, even with the current conspiracy theories around the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001[2][3].
