Yet I also believe there are conspiracies. Makes sense to expose conspiracies and then blame them on those you WANT to destroy. I don't buy it. The Jews were murdered in Communist Russia as they were Nazi Germany. When totalitarians have control, they go after the Jews. I can buy a Jewish civil war where some factions are setting up against another faction, but that's true in every culture, religion, and country. So let's stop picking on "the Jews" and pick on all Gadiantons.Original_Intent wrote:The protocols of the learned Elders of Zion is worth reading as I think it gives a very accurate picture of how we are viewed by those who would be our masters.

Where I believe many are mislead is in actually believing that this group of people are "the Jews". In other words, I believe the group that wrote "the Learned Elders" (which I believe were either not Jews or at least were not representative of the Jews) wrote very honestly and frankly but then use the Jews as a scapegoat, writing as if it were the Jews, rather than themselves, who have such a view of humanity that the rest of us are to be treated as little more than beasts.
I believe that anyone who believes that the Protocols are accurate depiction of the Jews is quite misguided.
Not to mention the fact that to follow the Protocols line of thought, and in some cases Infowars, you pit yourself on the wrong side of Armageddon. Follow the scriptures, folks.
Excellent observation PJ. This to me is where conspiracy talk takes a huge leap backward and those who push the demonization of the Jews actually harm legitimate conspiracy research and fact finding. Fair minded people reject this demonization outright and often then close their minds to legitimate conspiracies that need to see the light of day. I think that is what the adversary wants to have happen. LDS should never become party to this form of bigotry and hatred of the Jewish race.
