PROTOCOLS OF ZION

 

Without a doubt “The Protocols of Zion” is an utterly disturbing and confusing documentary of one of the largest and most subversive conspiracies ever invented in America. In a world where we struggle to decide—only for bragging purposes—which race is the superior race, “The Protocols of Zion” sheds an immense spotlight on the novel "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”, an alleged “account” of a group of Jewish leaders whom all sat down to discuss how they would take over the world. In a world where the Jews were thought to be sub-human during the holocaust, it’s shocking to think such a book existed that depicted the Jewish race as super human. I, for one, can not say that I believe that such a behind the curtain conspiracy exists, the notion that all the Jewish people in the world are connected and planning to take over the world--as loony Charles Manson prophesized as a form of Helter Skelter—is preposterous.

Manson said that the blacks and the Jews would form an army against the white man; here the blacks think the Jews are plotting to take over the world, and vice versa. My only result was to cringe and wonder why two races with so much in common couldn’t find a common ground. It’s a notion that eludes me to this day. And to think that a race is connected all over the world is also indicative of the inherent racism still present in modern day society where we’ve progressed so much, yet still remain in the stone age fighting for a land that’s not even ours. “The Protocols of Zion” is not so much an exploration in to one of the most ingenious hoaxes ever created, but an exploration to the continuing thought that one race is attempting to out do, out number, and or overthrow the other.

I’ve never read “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” and I don’t intend to, but it’s obvious the book was created by a group whom viewed the Jewish race as inferior and painted them as superior thus making them a valid threat. And how do we contribute to this conspiracy? Take our disadvantages, add it to their advantages, and declare conspiracy. As someone who grew up with every disadvantage you can imagine, it’d be incredibly easy for me to declare that it’s a Zionist conspiracy to keep back the Latin community, but the very notion is preposterous. Is it so hard to believe that the Jewish race is an immensely disciplined group of people dedicated to getting ahead in the world? To believe that no Jewish person died during 9/11 because of some call to keep them from dying is a preposterous and immensely insulting theory that is painted by the uneducated. Director Marc Levin literally puts himself in the hands of danger just to examine the views of people whom believe in the Zionist conspiracy. He mixes in to a crowd of vicious African anarchists interviewing them, he talks to a group of Jewish people in a ghetto, and even interviews a white supremacist.

In spite of all the evidence Levin places before our eyes, it won’t make a difference because in the end people will believe whatever they want to believe; in the face of facts, people will create their own conspiracies that fit their views. “Protocols of Zion” is an eye opening and stunning documentary that just further explores never-ending racism.
